Konoha: Starting with Kisara, I've conquered the Naruto world.

Chapter 17 The Death of Yahiko, the Gedo Statue!

The land of rain.

In the rain, in the desolate wilderness, in a place with few inhabitants, on a high platform.

At this moment, a very strange pair of people split into two teams and stood on the left and right sides. One team consisted of Rain Ninja, while the other team consisted of Konoha members wearing masks.

In front of these two teams, Hanzo and Shimura Danzo stood prominently.

At this moment, Hanzo also held the life and death of a blue-haired woman in his hands, who was none other than Konan, one of the three main members of the Akatsuki organization!

At this moment, Hanzo, holding Konan, looked down at Nagato and Yahiko, the last remaining members of the Akatsuki organization.

That's right. At this time, the Akatsuki organization was ambushed at the location where they had agreed to meet. Konan of the Akatsuki was captured alive by Hanzo, while Nagato and Yahiko survived.

However, the weaker members were not spared.

"To me, your organization is far too much of an eyesore!" Hanzo said coldly, looking down at the clenched teeth of Nagato and Yahiko. "Yahiko, as the leader, you must die here!"

As he spoke, he took out a kunai and threw it in front of Yahiko and Nagato.

"If she dares to resist, this woman's life is over!"

Yahiko and Nagato stared at the kunai stuck in the ground, gritting their teeth and struggling.

"Hey you redhead over there, kill Yahiko with that kunai! If that's the case, I'll spare your life and that woman's!" Hanzo said coldly again, looking at the two who hadn't moved.

"Stop! Nagato, don't worry about me, you two run away!" Konan roared under Hanzo's control.

"Nagato".

At that moment, Yahiko suddenly shouted, then turned to look at Nagato. His face was surprisingly calm, and he spoke under Nagato's incredulous gaze.

"Kill me."

Nagato stared wide-eyed at Yahiko, who was panting heavily. Despite not being particularly tired, he felt as if a thousand pounds weighed on his body.

"Nagato!" Yahiko shouted.

"Stop!" Xiao Nan cried out.

"Hurry up! Does it matter if this woman dies?!" Hanzo urged again.

Urged on by all sides, Nagato walked forward shakily, each step seemingly about to fall, but in the end he still managed to get the kunai, holding it in his hand and looking at Konan crying on the high platform.

"Xiao Nan..."

Then, just as he turned to look at Yahiko, he saw a figure rush into his arms before he could react, and he heard the sound of kunai piercing flesh.

"M...Hiko?"

Nagato stared in disbelief at Yahiko, who had rushed into his arms with a kunai piercing his heart.

Blood continued to gush from Yahiko's mouth, yet a smile remained on his face as he said, "I must survive, no matter what, with Konan! You are the savior of this world; your words will surely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yahiko collapsed to the ground and never moved again.

"Yahiko!!" Konan screamed in agony. At that moment, Hanzo's restraints finally disappeared, and she knelt on the ground, weeping for Yahiko.

A smile quietly appeared on Hanzo's face, hidden beneath his gas mask, but he never intended to let Konan and Nagato go. He only did this because he was worried that Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, would resort to desperate measures.

If Yahiko escapes, his strength would pose a huge threat to Amegakure and his rule!

Now that Yahiko is finally dead, and he doesn't care about Konan—she's a woman he can kill at will—it's no big deal that she's been freed from her restraints. What he needs to do now is…

"Let's do it!"

With Hanzo's order, the Rain Ninja on the high platform began throwing ninja tools at Nagato.

In an instant, the overwhelming ninja tools covered the sky above Nagato. If it were an ordinary ninja, there would be almost no chance of survival under such a dense barrage of ninja tools.

But this is Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan!

At this moment, he seemed to have come to a realization, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand. In just an instant, all the ninja tools were bounced away as if they had encountered an obstacle.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes. He had only come as Konoha's representative in the "reconciliation" talks and had no need to get involved in such matters.

With this in mind, Shimura Danzo led his Root group to retreat.

Unfortunately, he still hasn't seen Nagato's eyes clearly. If he had actually seen those Rinnegan eyes, perhaps he wouldn't have retreated at this moment.

At this moment, Nagato, who had deflected his ninja tool, gathered a massive amount of chakra in his leg and launched himself toward Hanzo's location, intending to rescue Konan.

The reason for doing this is naturally because the other party has let go of Xiao Nan, and the other party has already breached the contract. Even if they don't rush over, the other party will not let Xiao Nan go, so they might as well give it a try.

Upon seeing Nagato charging towards him, Hanzo also retreated. It wasn't that he didn't have time to kill Konan before Nagato arrived, but rather...

The instant Nagato charged forward, Hanzo formed hand seals.

In an instant, the explosive tags hidden on the ground around Konan, which were the same color as the ground, finally activated and surged towards Konan and Nagato's location, quickly binding Nagato's feet.

Hanzo watched this scene with a smile. He had naturally considered this possibility, so he had prepared a response in advance.

"Bang!"

That was the sound of detonating tags exploding; the sheer number of tags blew away most of the platform.

Even a Kage-level assassin could perish if directly hit by such an explosion at close range.

After all, most ninjas, even those at the Kage level, are high in attack but low in defense; their defense is insufficient to withstand explosions with too much power.

However, Hanzo underestimated Nagato, and even more so the Rinnegan.

The long door, already wrapped up, couldn't prevent them from being destroyed by the explosion, but apart from that, he managed to save both him and Xiao Nan.

When the explosion subsided, what was revealed was the unharmed Konan and the crippled Nagato.

"To be hit by my fire jutsu and still manage to escape..." Hanzo was extremely surprised when he saw this scene, until he saw Nagato's wide-open eyes, which were no longer concealed.

"Those eyes!"

Nagato had gone mad; his mind and thoughts were racing. He used ninjutsu he couldn't use before without hesitation.

Even if Xiao Nan is standing next to him and doesn't want him to use it, it can't stop him!

"Summoning Jutsu - Gedo Statue!"

In an instant, a gigantic golem, tens of meters tall, surged out from the ground behind Nagato, its massive palm sending all the Rain Ninjas who had rushed over flying!

"That's right!" Hanzo and Konan were both shocked, and Konan obviously thought of something and wanted to stop Nagato from continuing.

But Nagato, who had gone mad, roared recklessly, and several jet-black rods emerged from the golem and pierced into his body from his back.

Nagato didn't care about any of that. He used the black rods that were piercing his body to channel the terrifying amount of chakra within him into the Gedo Mazo.

The immense amount of chakra finally activated the Gedo Mazo, which spat out a long dragon of chakra that rushed towards the direction of the Rain Village.

This giant dragon was invincible, and whoever it touched died. After killing all the Rain Ninja, it charged towards Hanzo once again!

"So you're the hidden leader, huh? You even possess the Rinnegan! That's astonishing!"

Hanzo spoke calmly, forming hand seals, and used the Body Flicker Technique to escape. Even though he was called a demigod, he did not want to confront the Rinnegan head-on.

Having killed the Rain Ninja and driven away Hanzo, Nagato should now undo his chakra transmission, since every moment the dragon's presence continues to drain his body.

However, he did not choose to disengage, but instead controlled the giant dragon to rush in one direction.

And there stood a being who had been hiding there all along.

It was none other than Gen Takuno!
