As the Three-Tails 'Chakra entered his body, Nagato's physical body was the first to change.
Just as his skin and bones began to slowly grow stronger, if someone were to observe this...
Ren could only exclaim that it was unscientific and marvel at the power of the Rinnegan, while Orochimaru would probably see through many things.
As Nagato's body gradually returned to a normal human form, his previously atrophied legs began to throb and slowly returned to their original shape.
The last thing that changed was Nagato's long, gray hair; a bright red color replaced the gray, and it became smooth and shiny.
Nagato closed his eyes and quietly felt the changes in his body. Nagato hadn't experienced this feeling of vitality for over ten years.
Furthermore, the ever-flowing power within his body gave Nagato the illusion that he was a god in this world once again.
All of the Rinnegan's abilities, including the Deva Path, have been greatly enhanced.
The surge of power left Nagato somewhat intoxicated, and it took him a long time to calm down.
With his body recovering, the Rinnegan became much more active, and a massive suction force began to rage within Nagato's body, squeezing out his Nagato recovered strength.
This is precisely why Nagato's inflated ego began to gradually cool down.
Nagato vaguely sensed that the development of the Rinnegan was incomplete, and that a more powerful force lay hidden deep within Rinnegan.
The Chibaku Tensei is not the end!
Nagato gained new insights and set new goals.
Having been used as an ATM by Nagato, Isobu felt completely drained and utterly weak.
Faced with Nagato, who was standing Fudō with his eyes closed, Isobu hesitated to make a move, appearing timid and cowardly.
Being drained was one thing, but the key reason why Deva Path Pain dared not act rashly was Isobu Rinnegan, which was much brighter than before.
Nagato opened his eyes, concealed his aura, pulled out one of the two remaining black rods from his body, and then put on a dark red robe.
Having regained his power, Nagato now only needs a single black rod to control his Deva Path clone.
Sensing the Animal Path form beside Konan, Nagato channeled the power of his Rinnegan.
Konan watched as the black rods on the Animal Path's body trembled continuously, and poured her Chakra into the Animal Path's body without reservation.
Immediately afterwards, Nagato and Deva Path Pain appeared one after the other.
Seeing Nagato, whose appearance had changed drastically, standing quietly on the Nagato, Konan was filled with joy.
Clearly, Nagato succeeded.
"Let's go, Konan."
After speaking, Deva Path Pain took the lead in the middle, with Nagato and Konan following closely behind on either side, and they headed towards the Land of Rain.
A few minutes later, the Kirigakure Ninja team finally arrived at Isobu's location.
"Isobu, are you alright? Did you drive the enemy away?"
The Kirigakure captain asked somewhat shakily, "Facing Tailed Beast head-on is still quite a challenge for them."
Isobu had already sensed the arrival of these Hidden Kirigakure Ninja, and Isobu did not wish to answer their questions.
How should I put it? After someone has ripped you off bald, are you just going to throw you away like trash?
"I want to change locations, that's all!"
After saying that, Isobu began swimming towards the shore.
Although Nagato didn't kill it, Isobu was frightened and didn't want to stay there any longer.
Soon after, news that the Akatsuki had coveted the Three-Tails but had been successfully repelled first reached Kirigakure and then passed on to Mei Terumi in Konoha.
Upon receiving the information Mei Terumi's first reaction was to rush back to the village, but she quickly rejected the idea. Considering that the Three-Tails was unharmed, Mei Terumi pondered for a while.
After rewriting the intelligence, he led two ninjas to the outside of his residence.
Seeing the Konoha Ninja diligently 'guarding' outside, he found their leader and spoke.
"I have something important to discuss with your Lord Hokage!"
Half an hour later, at the Hokage Building.
Ren saw Mei Terumi very anxious.
"Hokage, I need to return to Kirigakure immediately!"
Give me a reason!
Ren, who loves to show off, naturally wouldn't allow Mei Terumi to leave now.
Mei Terumi didn't speak, but instead handed a scroll to Ren.
The Akatsuki launched a surprise attack on the Three-Tails. The Three-Tails escaped severely wounded, and seven squads of the Kirigakure Anbu were killed, with countless others wounded.
It was also accompanied by a portrait of Deva Path Pain.
Ren was the first to think of Nagato's plan to regroup and start the Tailed Beast capture project, but this was immediately rejected because the order was wrong.
After thinking for a while, Ren guessed that Nagato might need to recover his power, so he had his eye on the wild Three-Tails.
Following this line of thought, Ren felt that this information was highly inaccurate. The Three-Tails was definitely fine, and while the Kirigakure Anbu might have suffered some damage, it couldn't possibly be this severe.
Using so much power just to keep an eye on the Three-Tails is a complete waste.
The destructive power of Nagato's attack would either instantly wipe out the few remaining ninjas guarding the Three-Tails, or it would be such a massive event that even the Kirigakure might not survive.
Looking at it this way, and combining it with this scroll, Ren guessed Mei Terumi's thoughts: she had come to me to complain.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so you're thinking of getting reimbursed by me, huh?
Considering that Mei Terumi had just given an exclusive interview, Ren guessed it was very likely, and then Ren's face showed surprise and worry as he spoke.
"In that case, Mizukage, please set off immediately!"
