"By the way, where is Kakuzu?"
After hearing Naruto's question, six people, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Tsunade, looked at each other, and looked at each other a few times. Finally, it was Jiraiya who stood up to answer Naruto's question.
"Ahem, Naruto..." Jiraiya cleared his throat and said, "Kakuzu, he left peacefully!"
After saying that, Jiraiya and Kakashi stepped aside. Naruto and Nagato looked at each other and saw Kakuzu lying on the ground. He seemed to be a lot bigger. His face was also bruised and swollen. It was also a little bit bigger than usual.
His swollen eyes and two lines of clear tears showed that, obviously, just as teacher Jiraiya said, Kakuzu walked peacefully.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Nagato, we are a step too late after all." Naruto turned his head and sighed heavily to Nagato beside him.
Nagato looked at Kakuzu's body and said nothing for a moment. Kakuzu was besieged by six powerful ninjas. It was not easy to persist to this point.
After Akatsuki was massacred by Hanzō, although he and Konan were the only ones left, after rebuilding Akatsuki, he recruited many rebel ninjas from various countries, and Kakuzu was one of them.
Fight without mercy.
All we can say is that Kakuzu is dead, that is his fate.
If we can still continue the dream of world peace, then Kakuzu will eventually come back to life in a peaceful world, but now...
Everything is unknown.
After a while, Konan also rushed over, and she saw the body of Kakuzu at a glance. She sighed in her heart, and finally looked at the silent Nagato.
Nagato looked at Konan and asked, "Where are they?"
Konan shook his head and said, "Deidara, Scorpion, Hidan, are all dead."
Hearing Konan's answer, Nagato laughed silently, Akatsuki Organization, now, all the core members have been killed, and only he and Konan are left.
If it were in normal times, Nagato would still have the confidence to rebuild an Akatsuki, and his strength would slowly return to its current level.
But now, Xiao has become a thing of the past.
In the hands of Naruto, it has become a thing of the past.
After a long silence, Nagato had to accept this cold reality. He said to Konan, "Well, since Xiao no longer exists, then let all this pass."
Konan nodded, this is the only way.
Since then, Naruto and his team's mission in Amegakure has been completed.
Jiraiya was also very happy. Both of his students survived and joined Konoha's camp. In the eyes of Jiraiya, there is no difference between Breeding Farm joining Naruto and Konoha joining Konoha.
Because, in the final analysis, Naruto is still the Hokage project of Konoha.
"Nagato, Konan, teacher is very happy. Now, we can live together again. I believe that teacher, when you come to our side, maybe you will live a happier life than you did when you were in Xiao." Jiraiya said happily.
Konan opened his mouth, looked at the silent Nagato, and once again admitted that Jiraiya was his teacher, and respectfully shouted, "Teacher Jiraiya."
Nagato looked at Jiraiya and remembered that time, he was with Yahiko, with Konan, on the battlefield, with Jiraiya Tsunade, etc. The scene of people asking for food. This memory also evoked a touch of human warmth. He said to Jiraiya, "Teacher Jiraiya, congratulations. You have taught another good student. Junior Brother Naruto is really outstanding."
"Haha," Jiraiya burst out laughing after hearing this and said, "Well, you don't even know who I am. The students I teach are all amazing. Two of them have done Konoha's Hokage projects, and you are not bad either. You can actually build such a big organization."
Hearing Jiraiya's boast, Kakashi was immediately unconvinced. He said calmly to the side, "By the way, I am Konoha Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake, who is also Naruto's teacher."
As for the show-off and vanity of Teacher Jiraiya and Kakashi-sensei, Naruto did not expose these two guys. What have you taught me? Instead, they were allowed to praise Naruto and themselves in front of Nagato and Konan for being role models.
Akatsuki Organization has been disbanded, and standing here chatting and spanking all the time is not an option, so Naruto arranged. "Sister Konan, you stay in Amegakure, sort out Amegakure's next strength, and then tell me."
Konan nodded immediately. Now, she and Nagato are already Naruto's people, so the remaining Amegakure is also Naruto's power.
After giving instructions to Konan, Naruto said to Nagato, "Senior Brother Nagato, just follow us back to Konoha, when sister Konan has gathered Amegakure's power, come over to Konoha, we are waiting for you at Konoha."
After saying that, Naruto and his party returned to Konoha with Nagato.
As soon as he returned to Konoha, Orochimaru said, "Naruto, I'm going back to Breeding Farm first."
Naruto nodded and expressed his appreciation for Orochimaru's active work.
Jiraiya also said goodbye. He also wanted to help Tsunade repair the house. The house has not been repaired yet. Tsunade and Shizune still stayed in the hotel yesterday.
As for the reunion with his long-awaited student Nagato, Jiraiya is not in a hurry. Now that Nagato is Konoha's friend, there is plenty of time to get together.
Kakashi also said goodbye. After a big battle, Kakashi is now very weak. As soon as he returns to Konoha, he wants to go home and rest immediately.
Soon, only Sasuke, Kurama, Black Zetsu and Nagato were left next to Naruto.
"Senior Brother Nagato, let's go, let's find a place to have a good talk." Naruto said to Nagato.
Nagato nodded.
Three minutes later, Hokage Building was in the tea room dedicated to receiving guests.
Naruto and Nagato are sitting opposite each other. Sasuke and Black Zetsu are also sitting opposite each other. As for Kurama, Kurama is being held in Naruto's arms and wants to squint and enjoy Naruto's head.
In the tea room with the scent of tea, Naruto glanced at Black Zetsu and said, "Black Zetsu, now you can take off the black mask. Otherwise, do you think you are Kakashi-sensei and can eat and drink normally with a mask on?"
"As for your concerns, Senior Brother Nagato already knows your identity."
Nagato took Naruto's words, nodded and said, "Yes, Black Zetsu, your skin has already betrayed you. As soon as you stepped into the dawn and appeared in front of me, I knew that you were incomparable."
"It's just that at that time, you were destined to betray Akatsuki. To me, there was no need to reveal your identity. But now, Akatsuki is no longer here. It seems that we belong to the same camp."
"You don't have to worry about what I will do to you."
Black Zetsu immediately became angry when he heard what Nagato said. He was another person who discriminated against his dark skin. Why can't Ninja World be so big as to allow a dark-skinned person to exist? He tore off his mask, turned his anger into joy, and said to Nagato angrily, "Nagato, don't look down on me. You think I am on the second floor and you are on the third floor, but in fact I am on the higher fifth floor."
Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Naruto knew that next, in order to retaliate against Nagato for discriminating against his skin color, Black Zetsu would fight back against Nagato. The only way to fight back was to tell Nagato the truth about world peace.
Regarding Black Zetsu's actions, Naruto is happy to see the results. He does not want a Nagato who is always in fantasy to follow him.
Only by shattering his illusions can Nagato follow him with peace of mind and overcome Reanimation Jutsu's shortcomings and problems together.
The weird Black Zetsu didn't make Nagato care, but what Black Zetsu said next made Nagato stunned.
"That so-called world peace..."
"Collect the power of Tailed Beast...Tailed Beast..."
"..."
"All of this is a lie I created to save my mother. I first deceived Uchiha Madara, then Obito Uchiha, and Obito deceived you again."
"So, I said I'm on the higher fifth floor, Nagato, do you have any objection?"
Black Zetsu said with a smile, a look of gloating on his face.
However, Nagato did not look at Black Zetsu's triumphant expression. Instead, he lowered his head, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and fell into silence.
He feels very bad now, as if one of his favorite things was suddenly destroyed by Black Zetsu.
His so-called dream of world peace was actually Utakata created by Black Zetsu. Now that Black Zetsu had found a better partner, he cruelly stabbed this Utakata in front of Nagato's eyes.
Nagato is in a bad mood.
Just like before, Obito was in the same bad mood.
They are all Ninja World's very few outstanding geniuses. However, despite being shrewd and highly intelligent, they were still deceived by Black Zetsu.
"Senior Brother Nagato, don't feel bad. Although this is a scam, but now that you have joined us, maybe there will be a better ending." Naruto comforted Nagato.
Nagato glanced at Naruto and thought to himself: Even if there is a better ending, can there still be world peace?
He heard what Naruto said with his own ears. He didn't want world peace, he just wanted to make friends.
"Senior Brother Nagato, do you want to resurrect senior brother Yahiko?" Naruto thought for a while and asked Nagato a question.
Sure enough, after hearing Naruto's words, Nagato's eyes showed determination and he nodded. "Of course I want Yahiko to live again, but what can be done?"
"Of course there are many ways." Naruto smiled and said, "Orochimaru, you know, one of the three Jonins of Konoha. He was there just now, and he has two methods of resurrecting Yahiko."
Hearing this, Nagato's eyes lit up.
"The first is his Living Corpse Reincarnation, but this technique is useless. He must use it to reach an immortal state... The second is Impure World Reincarnation, which can reincarnate the dead. However, this technique will harm innocent lives, so this technique cannot be used."
"The last one is Reanimation Jutsu."
"As long as we solve the shortcomings of Reanimation Jutsu, then Senior Brother Nagato, whoever you want to resurrect will have no problem. We have two ways to solve the shortcomings of this technique. One is how to save the caster from the cost of death. This aspect is a bit difficult."
Regarding Naruto's analysis, Nagato nodded in agreement. Indeed, if he could solve this problem, he would have solved it long ago and resurrected Yahiko long ago.
"Finally, Senior Brother Nagato, I have a simpler method, that is... when you perform this technique, I will hammer King Yama to pieces, so that King Yama cannot take your lives."
Hearing this, Nagato looked at Naruto in surprise. He could not have imagined that the simple method Naruto mentioned was actually this method?
Hammer King Yama?
Nagato is speechless. Perhaps only Naruto is so powerful that he dares to say such big words.
"I think it's better to study the first direction." Nagato said. Nagato felt that there was no chance of destroying King Yama.
"Yeah, that's okay. From now on, Senior Brother Nagato, you can study this Ninjutsu with Sasuke."
Naruto made arrangements immediately.
After that, Nagato temporarily stayed in Konoha.
Naruto was also preparing for the long trip. He began to hand over work closely to Tsunade, and repeatedly told Tsunade not to mess around.
Because, in his eyes, Tsunade is not a very reliable woman. I don't know why everyone is so willing to elect Tsunade to be Fifth Hokage in the world of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Could it be that after she became Hokage, she gave up her bad habit of gambling?
It's impossible. If Akamaru didn't eat shit, Naruto would still believe it.
For this long trip, Naruto's first destination was Hidden Sand. He hadn't met the three siblings Gaara for a long time, and he wanted to know about them.
However, there are also Konoha ninjas who sent information to Hidden Sand, saying that with the help of Baki and others, Gaara has successfully become Fifth Kazekage of Hidden Sand.
This is better. Gaara, as the Kazekage project of Hidden Sand, has a larger circle, and more friends will introduce him to him.
As for the number of people traveling together, Naruto's initial plan was to include Hinata, Nagato, Kurama, Sasuke, Jiraiya, Kakashi and others.
Nagato and Sasuke can study Reanimation Jutsu while traveling far away.
And I can develop a relationship with Hinata while traveling far away.
However, there are still some people who are beyond Naruto's expectations.
Three people decided not to go on a long trip with Naruto, namely Hinata, Kakashi, and Jiraiya.
Hinata means that she wants to stay in the Hyuga Clan to practice, because Naruto is too strong, and she has to work harder to keep up with Naruto.
Of course Naruto accepts Hinata's self-determination and can only spend more time with Hinata in these few days.
As for Kakashi rejecting Naruto's invitation, he said that there was something wrong with staying at Konoha.
Humph, I was just being polite to you, but you took it seriously, Naruto thought in his heart, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
In the case of Jiraiya, because Tsunade is with Konoha, he would be foolish enough to follow Naruto on a long journey. It is important to hurry up and catch Tsunade.
Of course, there was another person who wanted to join, Sakura, but Tsunade held her back.
In the end, the number of people was determined as Nagato, Sasuke, and Kurama.
In the case of Konan, after gathering the power of Amegakure, she came to Konoha. However, Naruto had other arrangements for sister Konan.
In Akatsuki Organization's battle, Naruto saw the power of Konan Explosive Tag and felt that this was something that could be industrialized and would definitely bring huge wealth.
Therefore, Naruto arranged for Konan to sit in charge of Amegakure while opening the Explosive Tag manufacturing factory. Of course, the only employee and boss in the factory was Konan.
On the third day, in the morning, I had breakfast carefully prepared by Kurama.
Naruto, Nagato, Sasuke, Kurama, three people and one fox, walked out of Konoha and set off towards the bigger Ninja World.
"Friends, I'm coming!"
When they came out of the village, Naruto had a smile on his face and whispered.
