With the Konoha matter settled, Uchiha Makoto turned his attention to the other two main protagonists in the "Danzo vs. Hanzo"Nagato battle— Hanzo and Nagato.
Unlike Danzo's "muddy escape" strategy of Danzo directly back to Konoha, Hanzo cannot escape!
Everything he owns is in the Land of Rain; he may run away, but he can't hide!
Rather than wandering the Shinobi World as a rogue ninja, only to be constantly hunted down by the Rinnegan who has grown stronger, it's better to take advantage of the Rinnegan's weakness and serious injuries now and have a Rinnegan confrontation with him!
"Hanzo is deploying his troops, preparing for a duel with Nagato."
"This situation is perfect to take advantage of!"
Using the White Zetsu, Uchiha Makoto "saw" the preparations for war made by both sides and pondered how to maximize his own interests.
At this moment, Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by Konan to inspect the Akatsuki, caught Uchiha Makoto's attention.
Just like in the original story, Nagato became disabled.
However, in this timeline, there is no way for "Madara Uchiha" to create the Six Paths of Pain for Nagato, and this "Madara Uchiha" is currently just a 12-year-old kid.
"Nagato!"
"I don't expect a complete cure, but at the very least, we need to give Nagato some autonomy."
"Otherwise, how could Nagato possibly Danzo!"
Uchiha Makoto frowned; this was indeed his oversight.
"It's impossible for a 'miracle doctor' to suddenly appear in a place like the Land of Rain and use Shinobi World Medical Ninjutsu to help Nagato stand up."
"The Akatsuki can't find a medical-nin with exceptional medical skills in this chaotic Shinobi World right now, it's unrealistic!"
"It can only allow the Akatsuki to gain some unexpected benefits!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto shifted his gaze to Hanzo. It's normal to have unexpected gains among the spoils of war, right?
And since this unexpected acquisition was included by a "demigod," it's quite normal for it to have some special characteristics, right?
"Moreover, this isn't a direct treatment drug; it was just a 'happy' discovery by someone else."
"After research, this is merely a derivative application of the treasure, not its original purpose!"
"But Nagato couldn't wait any longer. In order to rescue Uzumaki Rieko as soon as possible, it's reasonable for Nagato to unilaterally use the treasure for his own recovery... right?"
While writing the future for Nagato, Uchiha Makoto retrieved a "gem" from the Hidden World – the Gelel Stone!
It can be described as a solidified Chakra substance, and may also contain some Natural Energy. It is a creation of an ancient super kingdom that can stimulate physical activity and enhance Yang Release!
Looking at this "gem" that emitted a faint green light, Uchiha Makoto was also somewhat reluctant to part with it.
This is the largest Gelel Stone in his possession. It was sent from afar when he was severely depleted of his Yang Release technique some time ago.
"Although the 'Ten-Tails White Zetsu' was used to supplement the Yang Release later, all the materials used to supplement the Yang Release are still there."
"Now, this comes in handy!"
Uchiha Makoto's face was stained a glossy green, which made him gasp in surprise.
"Using one of the few Yang Release techniques in the Shinobi World to directly heal injuries, what kind of spendthrift would do that?"
"If this treasure were in the hands of families that specialize in Yang Release Techniques, like the Akimichi Clan, they would probably treasure it as a family heirloom!"
After a moment of regret, Uchiha Makoto immediately packed the Gelel Stone into a box and sent it to Hanzo's storage room.
This is a remote corner.
Looking at the box in the corner, another problem arose before Uchiha Makoto —how could he get Nagato to find out?
"In short, Nagato heard about this and came to check."
"But it's still clearly abnormal for such a powerful and obviously valuable treasure to just sit here gathering dust!"
Uchiha Makoto narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind.
He glared at Hanzo, his many confidants, and the ninja in charge of receiving gifts from afar, subtly planting a vague impression in their minds—when Uzumaki Rieko first arrived in the Land of Rain, she presented Hanzo with a gift that she claimed was extremely important, but Hanzo did not value it.
That gift is now gathering dust in Hanzo's storage room!
"Hanzo, prepare to die!"
After a fierce battle, Nagato finally reached Hanzo.
Nagato's eyes were bloodshot as he watched the murderer who killed his best friend, along with the guy who had taken his sister away.
"You, who are regarded as the hope of the entire Land of Rain and are known as a 'demigod,' actually live in such a luxurious residence!"
Do you know what kind of hell on earth the Land of Rain is right now?!
"Hanzo, on the day you betrayed the Land of Rain, did you foresee this fate?"
Seemingly confident of victory, yet also as a helpless outburst, Nagato pointed around and roared at the heavily wounded Hanzo.
Hanzo to the ground, and in the distance was the Salamander Ibuse had been knocked unconscious by the Shinra Tensei —this was Hanzo's last trump card.
After venting his anger, Nagato looked at the dying Hanzo, sneered, raised his arm, and sent him into the arms of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths with a Shinra Tensei.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Nagato and Konan, who was pushing a wheelchair, both fell silent.
Is this revenge?
The spiral of revenge that Jiraiya- sensei deeply fears?
Why didn't they feel even the slightest bit of joy?
Is it because they will also be killed by Hanzo's legacy, or by someone else's Spiral?
Unbeknownst to them, Konan was also sobbing silently.
They are only teenagers now, and the sudden and drastic changes have left them bewildered.
"Leader, a Rain Ninja has provided some intelligence, wanting to use it as a bargaining chip for survival!"
"This information is... it's about Rieko!"
At this moment, an Akatsuki member who had confiscated Rain Ninja tentacles stepped forward hesitantly to ask for instructions.
With just one sentence, he firmly captured the attention of Nagato and Konan.
What did Rieko leave behind?
Nagato hesitated for a moment, then ordered in a deep voice, "Pry open his mouth, then bring the thing here!"
Nagato finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
This was the first time he had issued an order that Jiraiya's teachings, which made him somewhat reluctant.
"Yes!"
The Akatsuki member was somewhat surprised, but ultimately left excitedly.
With the Akatsuki undergoing a sudden and drastic change, and the Shinobi World in turmoil, a ruthless leader is always better than an indecisive one.
Their chances of survival are also higher.
In just a short while, the Akatsuki member obtained the information and retrieved what "Rieko" had left behind.
When he brought the box to Nagato's expression changed instantly.
"Bring it here!"
Nagato, sitting in her wheelchair, was so excited she almost stood up.
He could feel his Rinnegan craving what was inside the box!
This is unprecedented!
