"The legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, invades Konoha and launches the Konoha Crush Plan."
"It failed in the end, but it seems like it succeeded in the end."
"Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha."
"They united all the ninja clans in Konoha except for Sarutobi, and overthrew the village ruled by the Third Hokage and others."
"The Perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki: Naruto Uzumaki?"
["The legendary ninja gods, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, have seemingly been resurrected?!"]
"Wait, Konoha appointed its Fifth Hokage on the very next day?!"
["The Fifth Hokage is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the legendary fat...cough cough, one of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade!"]
"This... could it be that the First Hokage and the Second Hokage intervened?"
["wrong!"]
"Look again!"
["The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, seems to have a close relationship with the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki!"]
"Oh my god!"
"The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade... that fat sheep... how dare she?!"
"That perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki, seems to be the child of the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, and the Fourth Hokage."
"At most, it's only..."
"Damn it! If you have a problem, take it out on me! He's just a kid!"
"Shut up!"
Who is the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade?
"Is there... possibly another possibility?"
"That perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki, is just too outstanding... even a big fat sheep couldn't resist making a move?"
"This is torture! Too much torture!"
[How about... we catch it and keep it as a pet for now?]
["..."
[That day.]
Countless messages, as if sprouting wings, spread throughout the ninja world.
Even the semi-isolated water kingdom received a considerable amount of news.
[At this moment, inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.]
A beautiful woman is looking at information about Naruto Uzumaki, the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
She couldn't help but stick out her pink tongue and lick her red lips.
"What kind of being could possibly drive Tsunade to do something like this?"
"Young, shrewd, capable, and... good-looking!"
"He's practically the perfect marriage partner, what a pity..."
What's the pity?
Someone beat us to it!
[...]
This is not all the information.
[When the words "Land of Whirlpools" appear on the intelligence scroll.]
The reactions from the various ninja villages were quite subtle.
Konoha no longer belongs to the Land of Fire.
The Hidden Sand Village no longer belongs to the Land of Wind.
These are all newly established villages in the Land of Whirlpools.
[At the same time that the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, took office.]
[The Land of Whirlpools, vanished into the annals of history, is re-established!]
[Lord of the Nation, Perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki!]
[at the same time. ]
The urgent message declaring war on the entire ninja world and seeking revenge has not yet arrived.
However, the other three major ninja villages had already sensed something unusual.
This will be the calm before the storm.
[...]
[In the Land of Rain, within the Hidden Rain Village.]
Xiao Nan gripped the scroll tightly.
Her pretty face wore a complex expression.
Because it's close by.
[And also because of the large fox.]
She received more and more comprehensive information.
["Naruto Uzumaki..."]
"No, we can't wait any longer!"
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, she collapsed onto her bed as if all her strength had been drained.
She looked up at the ceiling.
[The next second.]
[I habitually took out the photo album I kept by my bedside.]
[After a while.]
[Above the strange statue in Amegakure Village.]
[Xiao Nan's paper clone arrives.]
"Nagato."
"I'm going to Konoha myself."
"The veracity of the intelligence is still unknown."
"The hydrangeas will come with me."
[After speaking, the paper clone disappeared.]
[Nagato: "???"]
He had just seen information about the Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki clan.
[I'm still experiencing mixed emotions.]
[As a result, Xiao Nan's paper clone appeared.]
He said a few hurried words and then disappeared.
[This is Xiao Nan's current state.]
[Nagato has never been seen before.]
[urgent. ]
[This emotion is practically written all over his face.]
"What exactly happened during the Chunin Exams in Konoha?"
Nagato narrowed his eyes slightly.
Payne Yahiko slowly emerged from the rest pod.
They arrived before Nagato.
Nagato lowered her eyes slightly.
[After a moment's thought.]
He shook his head.
"Since Xiaonan has made her decision and taken action..."
"That attitude... clearly meant they didn't want me involved."
"Since that's the case..."
Nagato raised her head.
[Look at Yahiko's face.]
"Akatsuki should be prepared to be exposed."
"But before that, open the barrier to prevent any changes from occurring inside," Payne Yahiko said slowly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Nagato nodded slightly.
"Madara Uchiha hasn't appeared for a long time, so we need to be vigilant," Pain Yahiko added.
"I'll stay by your side."
Nagato shook his head. "Amegakure needs you more."
Payne Yahiko remained silent for a moment, then nodded, donned his Akatsuki robe, and walked towards the door.
Outside lies the Land of Rain, where the weeping never ceases.
Payne Yahiko stood on the tongue protruding from the strange statue for quite a while.
It tilted its head back, letting the rain wash over its cheeks, its eyes closed.
[call out--]
[Then, the body fell.]
Everyone: "..."
Rain-Hidden Village.
Nagato touched his nose, feeling both helpless and embarrassed.
Since Yahiko's death.
Xiao Nan turned into an ice cube.
Apart from the tasks related to Akatsuki.
She was almost like a robot, an iceberg.
They won't say a word or do anything on their own initiative.
Most of the time, he was watching Amegakure.
Be a good angel for Amegakure.
Nagato is often the same.
Looking at Yahiko, who had been turned into Pain.
Nagato always couldn't help but speak up.
After each time I speak, I wait a while.
I hope Yahiko will reply.
In the end, he was the one who responded.
In other words, talking to oneself.
And all of this...
The culprit was the Leaf Rat.
The Dark Lord of the Ninja World: Shimura Danzo, the Leaf Village's Nagakage!
He's the only one left.
The other one, Hanzo the Salamander, was personally dealt with by him using Pain Yahiko.
Nagato: "Shimura Danzo, I think that version of myself in that world would accept that outcome."
Nagato: "I'll wait. I'll personally go to Konoha to meet that boy, and then we'll meet in the arena."
Nagato: "I think that in the future, when your head is hung on Yahiko's grave, Naruto-kun with black frames won't refuse."
The Fourth Raikage: "You wish!"
Onoki: "Don't overthink it!"
Mei Terumi: "Although, we really need that old bastard's head too~"
Nagato: "..."
