Konan quietly took half a step forward, and the paper butterfly silently landed on Yahiko's cold puppet shoulder.
Nagato took a deep breath and pointed his finger at the void: "Naruto saw through the fundamentals! Division will inevitably lead to a struggle for interests, and a struggle will inevitably breed hatred. His path may seem arrogant, but it is actually a fundamental solution!"
A glint of realization flashed in his Rinnegan. "Unified government, shared tailed beasts, and standardized systems—this is not a naive wish, but a replacement of the skeleton of the ninja world, this meat grinder!"
He stared at Jiraiya's pale face, each word carrying a heavy weight: "When ninjas no longer risk their lives for national borders, when tailed beasts transform from weapons into shared foundations, when rules replace brute force to constrain people's hearts, this is the soil in which mutual understanding can take root!"
"Naruto isn't trying to establish a hegemony; he's trying to break the vicious cycle..."
"The guillotine!" Tsunade suddenly interjected.
She had somehow ended up leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, the bright white light highlighting her taut jawline.
She stared intently at Nagato, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Boy, you see things clearly, but this scalpel is about to cut away rotten flesh, including everything you once believed in!"
Nagato slowly nodded as he met Tsunade's piercing gaze: "It is because I have experienced the darkness of the wrong path that I know that change is urgent. I am willing to pay for the sins I have committed with my own body."
He turned to Jiraiya, bowed deeply, and his newly grown spine resembled the arc of his apprenticeship in the rain twenty years ago.
"Teacher, please allow me to be a stepping stone for this new era!"
Chapter 64 The Five Kage Summit Fails Again
Jiraiya was completely bewildered.
He had absolutely no idea what Naruto's ideals were.
Because Naruto never told him.
At this moment, Nagato talked about a lot of common topics, causing his brain to crash instantly.
"Nagato-senpai, the perverted sage doesn't know my plan yet," Naruto tugged at Nagato's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
Nagato blinked and looked at Naruto. "What's going on, little brother? Such a huge plan, and you didn't even tell Jiraiya-sensei?"
"Grandma Tsunade said that before I start implementing this plan, I shouldn't tell too many people about it," Naruto said, scratching the back of his head.
Nagato smiled helplessly: "You've done a really good job keeping this a secret."
"Ha ha..."
Jiraiya gradually came to his senses.
He swallowed hard and looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade, did you already know about Naruto's plan?"
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "He had already told me about this plan before I even returned to the village."
"You agree?" Jiraiya asked, his eyes wide.
Tsunade closed her eyes, then opened them after a while to look at Jiraiya: "This is the fastest and most promising way to pursue peace that I can think of."
"And Naruto, he has the ability to complete this plan!"
"But don't you know how many casualties this plan would cause?" Jiraiya's tone was somewhat agitated.
"Jiraiya! Can your ideal of achieving peace through mutual understanding really be realized?" Tsunade asked, staring into Jiraiya's eyes.
Jiraiya stopped talking.
That idea is too naive!
Of course he knew, after all, he had also experienced war!
He then remembered the words of the Great Toad Immortal.
He will have a disciple who is the prophesied one, who will bring about a major change to the ninja world, bringing unprecedented stability or destruction.
He once thought Nagato would be the child of prophecy, but after hearing the news of his death, he thought Minato would be the child of prophecy.
But then Minato died.
Looking back now, it turns out that Naruto was the child of prophecy!
If his plan succeeds, then perhaps the ninja world will truly enjoy a long period of peace.
He looked at Naruto, who was talking to Nagato.
With many sighs in my heart, the chapter of Jiraiya's Tale of a Hero has come to an end.
The next volume will be called "The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki"!
When Naruto offered to treat Jiraiya, Jiraiya refused.
He winked at Naruto and said, "Let Tsunade treat me, and let me rest in the hospital while I'm at it."
"Do as you please." Naruto was too lazy to pay attention to this lecherous sage with impure motives.
He took Nagato and Konan back home.
“If that masked man finds out you’ve escaped his control, he’ll definitely come after you. So, for now, let’s stay in Konoha,” Naruto said to Nagato and Konan.
"Yes." Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
“I’ll find you two houses. You can settle down here for now. When that masked man comes looking for us, we’ll try to keep him here!” Naruto said.
The Five Kage Summit initiated by Tsunade was met with a response only from the Land of Wind; the other three major powers did not respond.
However, now, the Land of Lightning has once again initiated the Five Kage Summit, with the aim of encircling and destroying the Akatsuki organization!
This time, Tsunade wasn't too keen on participating.
After all, even the leader of the Akatsuki organization is already living in Konoha Village.
This is somewhat embarrassing.
If things go wrong, other countries might think that Akatsuki is a black glove cultivated by Konoha.
However, Tsunade would never push Nagato to take the blame.
Konoha should be protecting such a top-tier expert with the Rinnegan, not pushing him out to take the blame.
The Five Shadows Summit failed to take place again.
This infuriated the Fourth Raikage, who could only urge his intelligence agents to work even harder to gather information on the Akatsuki and the masked man.
Even if the other four great nations don't intervene, the Cloud Village alone can wipe out the Akatsuki and rescue Bee, Hi, and Darui.
In Amegakure, Obito sat atop a tall tower, letting the raindrops fall upon him.
Jue's figure appeared on the ground of the tower, half of his body exposed.
"Do you know what happened? Where did Nagato and Konan go?" Obito asked.
"I only learned that Jiraiya of Konoha had infiltrated Amegakure and fought against Konan and Pain."
"But no one knows what happened to their battle afterwards. After all, both of them were strong, and even the aftershocks of their battle could kill them. No one dared to get close!"
"So, it's possible that Nagato and Konan were taken back to Konoha by Jiraiya?" Obito frowned beneath his mask.
"Does Jiraiya really have that kind of strength?" he wondered.
Jiraiya was strong, but Nagato possessed the Rinnegan.
Before knowing the information about the Rinnegan, Jiraiya alone was enough to deal with both Nagato and Konan.
Obito thought this was absolutely impossible!
Even with knowledge of the Rinnegan, Jiraiya would not be a match for Nagato based on raw strength alone.
"We'll only know if we go to Konoha to investigate," Zetsu said.
"You've worked hard. We must find out Nagato's current situation. His Rinnegan is the key to controlling the Ten-Tails. Without the Rinnegan, everything we've done before will have been in vain!" Obito said solemnly.
The plan had reached a crucial step, but Nagato, the most important tool, had mysteriously disappeared.
Who can bear this?
At least Black Zetsu couldn't tolerate it.
Damn it, I've been planning this for over a thousand years, and this is the closest I've ever come to success. How can I fail?
This time, failure is absolutely unacceptable.
"I understand!" Jue said in a gloomy tone, his body disappearing back into the building.
Obito looked up at the gloomy sky, which seemed to be crying.
"Wait for me, Lin, I will definitely create a world with you!"
Naruto and Nagato stood facing each other, while Konan, Sasuke, and Hinata watched from the sidelines.
Sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the training ground marked with traces of ninjutsu.
Nagato was dressed in plain clothes, his Rinnegan gleaming with a long-lost sharp light; Naruto, on the other hand, was draped in a golden Sage Fox Chakra cloak, his Sage Chakra resonating with the power of the Nine-Tails within him.
"Let's begin, Nagato-senpai." Naruto smiled and formed the opposing hand seals. "Let me see the Rinnegan in its healthy state!"
"Don't be so confident, Naruto." Nagato raised a finger with a slight smile, forming the opposing hand seal.
Suddenly, Nagato's figure rushed forward like a crimson lightning bolt, and his straight punch, carrying the powerful force of the Asura Path, struck Naruto's face!
Naruto caught Nagato's straight punch, infused with the power of the Asura Path, with a steady hand, the ground beneath his feet cracking inch by inch. Feeling the immense force transmitted through his palm, a hint of admiration flashed in Naruto's eyes: "Such powerful strength, Nagato-senpai, this is your true power!"
"Don't get distracted, Naruto!" Nagato's Rinnegan flashed, and he shouted, "Asura Path!"
Before he finished speaking, an astonishing surge of chakra coursed across his body, and four thick arms with special metal armor instantly regenerated from his shoulder blades and ribs!
Six arms, like a storm, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down on Naruto from all sorts of tricky angles!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of dull, loud bangs, like the striking of a bell, exploded one after another!
Faced with the relentless onslaught of the six-armed attackers, Naruto's eyes flashed with excitement, and golden Sage Fox Chakra burned and surged around him like boiling flames.
His fists moved with lightning speed, and his golden chakra arms extended simultaneously from behind him, precisely blocking and parrying every punch that Nagato threw!
Two terrifying forces collided violently, and shockwaves visibly spread outwards in concentric circles. The ground beneath their feet was scraped away layer by layer, and the air groaned under the brutal pressure.
However, Nagato's six-armed attack failed to budge Naruto in the slightest!
Each of his attacks was perfectly received by that condensed, tangible golden chakra.
