Chapter 526

"!"

Konan was terrified.

"Nagato, no...!"

Nagato: "Konan, stop talking... I'm too tired... My heart is scarred, like a decaying old man. We... can never go back to the past, nor can we look to the future..."

"..."

Konan remained silent, her eyes filled with sadness.

"Senior brother, what is he going to do?!" Naruto couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Those who possess the Rinnegan can use all the techniques of the Six Paths of Pain, in addition to... techniques that exist outside the world of life and death. Nagato's eye power allowed him to use the techniques of the seventh Pain, who controls life and death. That is, the Outer Path."

Konan murmured.

Boom!!

As Yama, the King of Hell, was summoned.

It opened its mouth and body, spewing out a large amount of light.

These rays of light adhered to the bodies of the dead, and at the cost of Nagato's own life force, he used an unorthodox technique to revive everyone present!

Watching the specks of light fall like a torrential downpour.

Not just in Konoha.

Even Amegakure was taken aback.

"What's this?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

The body of the person who should have died suddenly burst forth with white light, and the shattered body began to return to its original state.

Sage Shima, Sage Fukasaku, Mumu Kōdō, Gekko Hayate, Uzuki Yugao...

Even Kakashi Hatake, Pakkun...!

Humans and Summoning alike were resurrected in this rain of supernatural forces!

A beam of light was then directed into the Four Red Yang Formation of the Amegakure.

It suddenly struck Rin Nohara.

Rin Nohara, who was hit, also began to glow.

She stared at her hands, stunned.

Immediately, Rin Nohara's body burst into fragments.

The body Impure World Reincarnation began to transform into a truly living person!

Rin Nohara... Her heart, which had been dormant for 17 years, began to beat again.

Thump! Thump! Thump...!

Feeling the surging blood, smelling the air, and breathing again, Rin Nohara stood frozen in place for a moment.

The Outer Path: Rotation Technique, with Nagato's resurrection condition being "the entire Konoha."

It's obvious.

Rin Nohara is also a ninja of Konoha; at least in her heart, she is still Rin Nohara.

Therefore, Rin Nohara also benefited from the resurrection effect and became a living person!

The gap between the underworld and the mortal world.

"Oh, I see. It seems you've had a tough time too."

"Yes."

The father and son were having a conversation.

"No matter the outcome, you've done your best, and now I understand your thoughts... For breaking the rules for everyone... you are now my pride!" Kakashi stated his conclusion in one breath.

"..."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes widened, filled with disbelief, surprise, and... relief.

"Thank you... Kakashi..."

To gain forgiveness is the salvation of the soul.

The next second, a white beam of light shattered the darkness.

A bright light shone on Kakashi.

"It seems you shouldn't be here yet; there are some things you need to do."

Hatake Sakumo said.

"It's so good to be able to talk to you. Thank you for forgiving me. Now I can leave in peace... Finally, I can go see your mother..."

"!"

Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes.

Beside him were Choji, who had rushed over, and Choza had also been resurrected.

"Huff... huff..."

After unleashing the external Nagato, Nagato lowered his arm.

The long hair that represented the life force of the Red Uzumaki Clan turned white as a result.

This foreshadows his impending death.

Before that...

"Naruto, battles bring death and wounds, causing pain to both sides. The more precious someone is to you when they die, the harder it is to accept death... and you might even think that the other person couldn't possibly be dead..."

This was Nagato's final words of advice.

"Especially... your generation, which doesn't understand war, but there's nothing we can do about it. Some people want to find the meaning of death, but all they can feel is pain and hatred that they don't know how to vent... Death like garbage, hatred that will last forever... incurable wounds... that's war..."

Nagato lowered her head.

"Naruto, this is something you'll have to face from now on... Whether it's the book or you, it feels like... something someone planned beforehand... Isn't this... something a true god would do...? My mission ends here. Naruto... you should... really be able to..."

Find the answer to peace...

Nagato passed away before she could utter those words.

"Konan, Madara will probably come to steal Nagato's eyes next."

Itachi prompted.

There was no time for sadness, or rather, we had experienced countless life-and-death situations.

Both Itachi and Konan can easily suppress their emotions.

"Konan, Itachi, why don't you come with us to Mount Myōboku?" Naruto Uzumaki suggested.

"No."

Itachi shook his head.

"Just like 17 years ago when Madara attacked Konoha, if we go to Mount Myōboku together, he will be waiting for us there."

Therefore... they must be separated.

"Madara needs the Rinnegan to start the Fourth Shinobi World War. As long as we preserve the eye..."

He would be hesitant to act rashly and would keep trying to find a way to get his hands on it.

Therefore, the Rinnegan cannot be destroyed immediately, otherwise, who knows what insane things Madara might do.

An orderly evacuation began quickly.

Some people chose to stay.

The other group planned to go to Mount Myōboku.

During the evacuation.

Itachi and Konan guarded Nagato's body to prevent Obito Uchiha from launching an attack from the shadows.

Obito Uchiha could only squint and watch from a distance.

Because he knew he was no match for Itachi.

Itachi Uchiha is too dangerous.

He used Izanagi twice; how many more times can he use it?

Moreover... he still seems to have some trump cards up his sleeve.

This is also why Obito dared not act rashly.

In fact, Itachi's "Totsuka Blade" was specifically reserved for Obito...

447. Continue to destroy Konoha, Queen [mist] Asuka

"Let's use that one."

Far away.

Ying, inside the Four Red Yang Formation barrier, crossed her arms and stared coldly at the Konoha members outside, saying...

She was already quite impatient.

And that... refers to the "Amegakure Alliance Backup Plan".

In other words, when the Akito charge is not present, the "second person" takes over and "temporarily" performs the corresponding duties.

This is a backup plan, and also a test.

Because if an empire is maintained by only one person, then that empire does not possess absolute stability.

Once the empire is leaderless, it will fall apart.

The death of Hashirama Senju, which triggered the First Shinobi World War, is a case in point.

Of course, Amegakure wouldn't allow that to happen again.

The Land of Rain will tell the world.

This pan-alliance possesses absolute dominance!

Therefore, at this moment, someone who can lead the entire event needs to step forward.

And what qualities does that person need?

Bloodline?

Inheritance?

Nepotism?

No! Those decaying things have nothing to do with Amegakure!

Let's hold a referendum.

With the withdrawal of the Four Red Yang Formation.

Asuka didn't hesitate and immediately decided to hold a referendum.

Everyone present had the right to vote.

"I... give up."

Kushina raised her hand, giving up immediately.

Then, he pulled Rin Nohara back.

Although neither of them knew each other's identities, Kushina had a pretty good idea that this Anbu was also a Konoha ninja.

Ying, Asuka, and Hanzō did not dwell on the matter of Rotation and Lin's identity.
