The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 248 The Great Injustice

This is Deidara's unfinished C3 No. 18.

Even so, its power should not be underestimated.

The shockwave instantly tore apart more than twenty of Scorpion's puppets, and swept away all the other puppets as well.

Even the scorpion was not exempt; it was also blasted away by the shockwave.

He didn't expect the fortress to suddenly explode.

Scorpion also experienced a dizzying sensation, with his body parts scattered all over the ground.

He dispersed on his own initiative.

Otherwise, the body would be damaged by the explosion.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Deidara and his dozen or so men all ran away.

This infuriated the scorpion.

He was angry not because he hadn't killed anyone, but because his information had been inexplicably leaked.

It was as if the other party had anticipated his abilities.

Although Scorpion only needed to kill the opponent, the fact that his information had been leaked still made him quite unhappy.

Sasori stood amidst the rubble of the explosion. A moment later, a figure quickly approached and joined him; it was Kakuzu.

"How many people did you encounter over there?" Sasori was currently using chakra threads to continuously "pick up" the red puppets on the ground.

They were placed one by one into the scroll.

Kakuzu looked somewhat tired: "I have more than thirty people on my side, led by Huang Tu."

"Their defenses are too strong; the stalemate has continued."

"There was an explosion here just now, and they only just retreated. Could this be your 100-machine drill?"

Kakuzu and Sasori have cooperated many times, but they usually don't need to use this move. This is the first time Kakuzu has seen it.

Scorpion responded with a somewhat muffled voice:

“My intelligence was leaked, and they all retreated. I’ve encountered one using clay bombs, which is quite troublesome.”

Kakuzu was quite surprised. Most of the people who had fought Sasori had died, so the possibility of the information being leaked was originally very small, but it was leaked anyway.

"No matter what, it's enough to get rid of Iwagakure."

At this point, all Kakuzu could do was offer a summary.

"This mission is complete."

"However, we need to stay for a while to make sure that experts from Iwagakure will come."

Scorpion was still searching for his puppet around him when he heard this, and said:

"Perfect timing, I need to repair my puppet."

"I'll go talk to the people of Sunagakure and see if they want to take over this place."

……

Forest outside the Uchiha clan territory

Konan flapped her wings and landed on a tree with Nagato.

This time, Nagato didn't ride in the wooden cart; she had to hold onto the tree trunk to stay upright while standing on the tree.

After all, he came here to treat his injuries, so there was no need to bring Payne again.

Nagato closed his eyes and used the Illusionary Body Technique.

A moment later, Chiyo quickly came out and took Nagato inside.

The group quickly arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.

This was the first meeting between Nagato and Orochimaru.

"So you are Payne's true form."

After Orochimaru was hit by the Super Shinra Tensei in Senyou's dream space, he has been trying to study the Rinnegan ever since.

However, since the Water of Life had not been found before, there had been no opportunity to meet it.

Qianyao introduced from the side: "This is Orochimaru, you should know him."

Konan and Nagato also nodded to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't have a good reputation in the past, but Pain was no pushover either.

What they care about is whether the other person has the ability.

With Qianyao as the middleman, they had all heard about each other from Qianyao to some extent.

"These are Nagato and Konan. You can get to know them gradually later. Now, let's check Nagato's body first."

Now that Nagato and Konan have come all this way, there's no reason for them to back down.

"Thank you for your help," Xiao Nan said politely.

Accompanied by Chiyo, Nagato quickly lay down on Orochimaru's experimental bed.

Yes, he was lying down because his back was covered in black sticks, so he couldn't lie down.

Orochimaru then equipped Nagato with numerous medical devices, and through his own investigation, he discovered just how dire Nagato's physical condition was.

"It's unbelievable that you didn't die after so many black rods were stuck in your internal organs."

Orochimaru pointed to the image on the screen and said to Nagato:

"These black rods pierced into all your organs with precision, leaving none untouched."

When Qianyao saw the image, which looked like a CT scan, he didn't find it strange anymore; he was already used to it.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Chiyo scoffed, "So you're just using Nagato as a blood bag, huh?"

"Anyway, it's pleasing to the eye and raises heretical demons, definitely a great misfortune."

Nagato didn't react to Chiyo's words, while Konan looked somewhat downcast.

After all, Nagato ended up like this because he was trying to save her.

Moreover, Danzo has now brought about his own demise, so they have no way to seek revenge against him.

Nagato said firmly, "I will avenge this myself."

Qian Yao smiled and said, "I have confidence in you."

They started planning so early, do you think they'd be afraid of a freak who hasn't even crawled out of his grave yet?

"Is Nagato's black rod easy to obtain?" Chiyo turned to Orochimaru and asked.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face: "Now we can safely remove the black rod."

“However, I think we can also remove Nagato’s talisman at the same time.”

Qianyao had truly forgotten about this.

"Let me see?"

Chiyo approached Nagato and placed his hand on Nagato's chest.

The sealing talisman wrapped around Nagato's chest from Chiyo's hand.

Chiyo clearly "saw" the talisman on Nagato's heart.

This curse truly is passed down through three generations; Rin, Nagato, and Obito all have this curse on their hearts.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you only have one freckle; as long as it works, that's fine.

This talisman can be controlled remotely.

Moreover, if it is disassembled, its heart will immediately explode.

Nagato saw the sealing technique used by Senyou and felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seems to have the shadow of the Four Symbols Seal, but it also contains other sealing techniques, making it a completely unique style.

I never expected Qianyao to be so strong in sealing techniques.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to remove the Rinnegan as well?” Qianyao suggested.

Orochimaru immediately rejected the idea: "The Rinnegan has a very high activity level and extremely strong eye power."

Even if Nagato is "dead", his Rinnegan will not lose its activity for a period of time.

“We can’t wait that long, or Nagato will really die here.”

Seeing that Orochimaru had considered everything, Chiyo nodded in agreement with Orochimaru's method:

What is your specific plan?

Orochimaru pointed to Nagato's heart: "This talisman is powered by the host's life energy."

"Simply put, once the host dies, the spell can be dispelled."

Qianyao understood almost instantly: "You want Nagato to fake his death?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "How can you say it's a fake death? It's a real death."

"But it can be saved again."

Xiao Nan looked somewhat worried: "Isn't that taking a huge risk?"

Orochimaru replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, you can decide for yourselves whether or not to take the talisman."

Nagato reached out to stop Konan: "Without removing the talisman, I am still a puppet, so I must remove this talisman."

"Since I've chosen to come, I'll entrust myself to you."

"Orochimaru, go ahead and make your move."

Orochimaru's eyes showed approval: "Don't worry, I won't let you die."
