The Uzumaki Clan's Clan Head, the Paper Flower Konan Gave, and How the Future Had Already Changed

The man's chest caved in heavily, and the thin blade of the Uchigatana snapped in the face of the terrifying force. With a bang, the last man was sent flying backward.

Naruto instantly dealt with seven or eight people, and Konan instantly killed another seven or eight people with her Paper Ninjutsu.

Naruto, who was at the forefront, took off the hood of his raincoat and threw the blood-stained broken sword in his hand to the ground. He glanced at the corpses lying scattered on the ground, then turned to look at Konan.

The Chunin Amegakure stared at the unfamiliar face and the dazzling blond hair, and fell silent for a moment, unable to find anything despite their best efforts to search their memories.

Something was definitely amiss, and none of them spoke. They watched as Naruto spoke to the angel, his tone casual, even indifferent.

"Just kill them all. There's no need to think that far ahead. The root cause is that we have to stand up for ourselves. Mediation is just a delaying tactic. If he can't do it, Amegakure will never have peace."

Naruto changed his clothes and returned to the top of the High Tower.

Konan frowned slightly, staring at Naruto was putting on gloves, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Are you confident?

"Of course I'm not sure, I'm not medical-nin." He looked back at Konan with some surprise. "We can only try now, it can't be worse than it is now anyway."

Hearing his matter-of-fact tone, Konan was momentarily at a loss for words.

What do you mean by "it can't get any worse than it is now"?

"Exactly." Naruto walked toward Nagato, who had no expression on his face, and said as he walked, "It will probably make him feel better, but he will die in the long run."

"Why?" Konan took two steps forward.

"Do you know who I am now?" Naruto stopped and turned to look at Konan, pointing to himself as he asked.

"What?"

"I am the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan," he said earnestly.

Konan: "."

She regretted it a little; she shouldn't have talked to this person. It was really pathetic. She had a feeling he was doing it on purpose; why was talking to him so exhausting?

He looks like he's not serious enough to be beaten, and he likes to show off and get a lot of attention.

"The Uzumaki Clan members possess a large amount of Chakra, which is why Nagato could use the Rinnegan, but these eyes were not originally his."

Naruto patiently explained, "Every time Nagato uses the Rinnegan, it's a huge burden. Forcing the Chakra out of his body is indeed feasible, but it's life-threatening."

"The owner of the Rinnegan must have extremely strong regenerative cells in his body. Chakra can indeed stimulate cell regeneration, but this is based on the loss of lifespan."

"Therefore, Nagato's cells are almost exhausted, and after using the Rinnegan a few more times, his lifespan will be nearing its end."

"How do you know all this?" Konan asked.

"Didn't I already say that I'm the head of the Uzumaki Clan, officially recognized?" Naruto coughed. "Besides, I have some personal connections with Orochimaru."

His so-called "some personal connection" meant he used the Reaper Death Seal extract Orochimaru's soul without hesitation and then tortured him severely. This "personal connection" is truly hardcore.

Konan, however, was unaware of all this and simply assumed that Orochimaru had some kind of intelligence-related interest with him. Hearing Orochimaru's name brought her a tiny bit of relief.

"What's your solution?" Konan asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Inject Chakra to activate the cells in your body. Don't worry, it'll be quick," Naruto said, turning and continuing towards the emaciated Nagato.

"Is there really no risk?" Konan was still a little worried and called out from behind him.

"There's no risk involved. He won't live much longer if we don't do it." Naruto stood in front of Nagato. "Besides, no one is more suitable to do this than me."

"The members of the Uzumaki Clan either died or fled, and are scattered in various places."

Nagato raised her head, her eyes surrounded by bluish-gray circles—a sign of impending death. Her body was emaciated, her expression aged and weary; no wonder she spoke little.

"Why are you helping us?" Nagato asked hoarsely.

"I also want world peace, didn't the Pervy Sage say that?" Naruto stretched out his hand. "I'm a great philanthropist, and I can't stand the Shinobi World war."

Since he extracted the Nine-Tails from his body, Naruto is no longer able to Tailed Beast Transformation, but he still has the immense Chakra of one and a half Nine-Tails hidden within him.

This Chakra can be freely converted with the vast Chakra of the Uzumaki Clan that he was born with, which means that he has at least the Nine-Tails' chakra.

It's more than enough! But it's simply impossible to use it all up!

A powerful surge of Chakra flowed continuously from Naruto's body, down his palm, and into Nagato's shoulder, circulating through his meridians again and again.

Konan stood to the side, watching with a worried expression. Only when she saw that Nagato's complexion was indeed getting rosier did she breathe a small sigh of relief.

This proves that Naruto's method was indeed effective, and Nagato did indeed have a severe deficiency of Chakra and decreased cell activity, just as he said.

As a fellow member of the Uzumaki Clan, Nagato was able to absorb the Chakra Naruto sent. This process lasted for an hour before Naruto felt it was about time and slowly ended.

He was still full of energy after the Chakra transfer, estimating that he had only used about one-tenth of his Chakra. He could replenish it after a period of rest.

"Thank you," Nagato said haltingly.

"No need. This isn't just to help you guys," Naruto said, waving his hand. "Since the Rinnegan is so powerful, the person who implanted Rinnegan in you must be no ordinary person either."

"They wanted to use you and Konan to achieve their goals, and now that they've failed, they think they can reclaim the Rinnegan? That's just too naive. After all, we're from the same school, and since the Pervy Sage didn't pursue your matter, I'm too lazy to interfere. It wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't run into each other, but now that I know, I naturally have to help."

"Thank you," Konan said sincerely. After thinking for a moment, she conjured a bunch of Paper Flower out of thin air and handed them to him. "These are for you."

"Oh, oh." Naruto took it, examined it carefully, and silently wondered with a hint of unease, "Could this be part of her body?"

"Nagato, how are you?" Konan asked with concern.

"I'm much better." Nagato tentatively stood up, without falling back into the iron seat. "I can only stand up, I can't walk."

"This is already very good, things will get better slowly," she said.

Nagato frowned, thinking of the relentless invading ninjas. He immediately wanted to say that they must all be driven out next time, but the words remained unspoken.

"Hmm." He nodded.

They all looked at Naruto, who was breaking apart the bundle of Paper Flower, waiting for him to say goodbye, since the mission was over.

"I need to stay a little longer and transfer Chakra to him a few more times," Naruto said, looking up as he met their astonished gazes.

"What are those expressions on your faces?"

"Will this have any effect on your body?" Konan asked. "Chakra is like lifeblood for a ninja; even if you're young, you can't..."

"Yes, I'm much better now, you don't need to push yourself anymore," Nagato replied in a hoarse voice.

"I'm not forcing you. I know what I'm doing. Even if I only have one-tenth of my Chakra left, I'll still be far superior to many Jonin." Naruto waved his hand. "It's settled then. We'll continue tomorrow."

Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.
