The End

It seemed Obito had been completely dealt with, so Nagato began preparing for what came next. He still had not found the person who had brought Yahiko here.

Dark clouds now blanketed the sky above Amegakure, and thunder rumbled without end. The raindrops were as large as beans, giving him the perfect opportunity to release Ninjutsu and search the entire Land of Rain for any enemies who might be hiding there.

He would wipe them all out. He would crush every one of those insects who dared provoke God.

Rain infused with chakra began pouring down. The Land of Rain returned to its original appearance, and the air grew damp. Nothing could escape Nagato's perception.
