The Final Outcome!

Konoha was now at its strongest point since the village's founding. Even if Hiko did not get involved, it would not be easy for Nagato and the Six Paths of Pain to take down Konoha.

Ordinary people were rather powerless against beings like the Six Paths of Pain, but one should not forget how many Kage-level experts were currently stationed in Konoha.

The Third Hokage, Danzo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, as well as representatives of the new generation, Nawaki Senju and Minato Namikaze. Though the two of them were very young, they were both undeniably powerful. There was no need to question that; they could be directly classified as Kage-level experts, even if they were at the relatively weak bottom end.

Apart from those two, there was the contradictory figure of Danzo. Calling Danzo weak would not be right, since he was quite powerful, but calling him strong felt rather forced as well.

Besides Danzo, there were two even more absurd people: Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who were so old that they refused to make a move even if it killed them.

If Nagato thought Konoha at this time could be casually dealt with, then he was gravely mistaken. Of course, the Six Paths of Pain were no pushovers either. Whenever Hiko thought of that one move that had nearly destroyed all of Konoha, he was left speechless. Was it really worth it?

"Mm." Jiraiya finally believed Hiko's words. He nodded to show that he would stay calm and would not casually slip away and rashly rush to the Land of Rain.

Nagato was terrifying, but he was also pitiful. Hiko had not been wrong about that. Anyone who was turned into a pawn while still a child and had a pair of eyes that did not belong
