Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 742: Konan And Nagato’s Decision

On the twenty-second floor of the central steel tower.

A White Zetsu’s clone is reporting information about Orochimaru and Deidara to Deva Path Pain.

Deva Path Pain listened expressionlessly, and then asked: “Has the situation in the Land of Wind been confirmed?”

White Zetsu’s clone nodded with a laugh: “It has been confirmed that it is indeed Wood Release, and it is the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama…”

“There is only one god in this Shinobi World!”

Deva Path Pain interrupted him coldly and said, “Tell me the specific location of Deidara.”

“He is now causing terrorist activities in the border of the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.”

White Zetsu’s clone asked with a smile, “Pain, who are you going to send to recruit Deidara?”

“I will go personally!” Deva Path Pain said.

Akatsuki is now divided into six groups: Pain and Konan, Taki and Orochimaru, Hyōketsu and Hidan, Kakuzu and Kisame, and then Zetsu alone, who is responsible for maintaining communication with each group, and also searching about the information of Great Shinobi Villages’ Biju and Jinchuriki. There’s also Sasori, who is abandoned by Shisui and is alone now.

If he simply just wanted to recruit Deidara into Akatsuki, he can send any group, but as Black Zetsu thought, at this time, Deva Path Pain or Nagato behind it, has become more and more afraid of Abyss.

In Akatsuki, Hyōketsu and Taki are members of Abyss. If this organization really cooperates with Orochimaru, who owns Senju Hashirama, Abyss’s existence will threaten Akatsuki!

Therefore, Nagato must send a Kekkei Genkai Shinobi into Abyss to find out what is going on with this organization!

But in Akatsuki, only him, Hyōketsu and Taki have Kekkei Genkai. Needless to say about the latter two, it is absolutely impossible for him, as the leader of Akatsuki, to join Abyss! As for Kakuzu’s Earth Grudge Fear and Konan’s Paper Ninjutsu, they can only be called Secret Technique and have nothing to do with Kekkei Genkai.

So Deidara’s appearance…

‘Huh?’

‘Why is it so coincidental?’

‘Coincidence?’

‘Or is it…?’

Deva Path Pain looked White Zetsu’s clone leaving with a smile, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

‘The source of information is in the hands of others, making me too passive!’

‘Damn it!!’

At this moment, a familiar white-haired figure suddenly flashed across Deva Path Pain’s eyes.

That is the image that other Pain had seen that were transmitted to his mind through Rinnegan’s vision sharing.

‘Jiraiya-sensei, you actually got into the sewer, it really fits your identity.’

In the next moment, a powerful space power came from all directions. It was the Summoning Technique of Animal Path.

Central tower’s underground sewer.

Jiraiya stood on the huge criss-crossing water pipes, looking at the Animal Path not far away with cold eyes, and a look of confidence flashed on his face: ‘There is only one person on the other side, I just need to kill him before he can send out a distress signal…’

“Summoning Technique!”

Animal Path quickly formed hand seals, and slammed his palms onto the ground!

Bang!

Amidst the light smoke, Deva Path, Human Path, Hell Path, Asura Path and Preta Path walked out emotionlessly.

“You…”

The confidence on Jiraiya’s face gradually turned into sadness. He looked at the leader, Deva Path Pain, with sad gaze, “… It is indeed puppets!”

As early as a few months ago, Minato told him that the six Pain might be puppet, but Jiraiya didn’t want to believe that Nagato would turn Yahiko into a puppet, but now, he had no choice but to believe after seeing the scene before him!!

The prerequisite for using Summoning Technique is a blood contract, and under normal circumstances, it can only be used by humans to summon Summoned Beast, who has the blood contract with them, from other places!

Of course, the Three Holy Lands can also use the Reverse Summoning Technique, where the Summoned Beast will summon the human contractor, but the prerequisite for the technique is that there must be a summoning scroll with the human name written on it.

As for the Summoning Technique between humans…

It doesn’t exist at all!

Therefore, the only reason that can explain the scene before him is that they are not human!

‘Puppet…’

The sadness in Jiraiya’s eyes was gradually replaced by anger: “Nagato, why did you make Yahiko into a puppet! Isn’t he your best friend?! Have you ever thought about Konan's feelings?!”

“Although you are our teacher, you don’t understand anything at all.”

Deva Path Pain spoke. His indifferent voice does not have the slightest emotion, and he slowly stretched out his hand, “Bansho Ten’in!”

A powerful gravitational force suddenly condensed from Deva Path Pain’s hand. Jiraiya had no intention of resisting at all, and let the gravity pull him to fly quickly towards Deva Path Pain.

Seeing this, Deva Path Pain narrowed his eyes: “Is it shadow clone again?”

Jiraiya, who is already half a meter in front of Deva Path Pain, said with a slight smile: “I will come again.”

Bang!

Deva Path Pain crushed Jiraiya with one hand.

‘Bastard!!’

‘Abyss, Orochimaru, Uchiha Obito, Zetsu, Jiraiya…’

‘Why?’

‘Why?!’

Nagato, who is on the top floor of the central tower, opened his eyes suddenly and smashed the wheelchair under him angrily, ‘Why are you all going against me!!’

“Nagato, what's wrong?”

Konan flew over from the rain curtain, and the raindrops scattered all over the sky splashed on the floor, each one reflecting Nagato's skinny and ghost-like face.

“Konan…”

Seeing the person coming, Nagato's furious mood was suppressed instantly. He gritted his teeth and told her everything that had just happened.

“Konan, I’m… tired.”

Nagato lowered his head and panted slightly, “I’m really tired. I feel like the entire world is resisting me. It doesn’t want to let me complete my dream, and it keeps setting up various difficulties in front of me… I’m so tired.”

“Nagato, I will always support you.”

Konan is not good at words and could only say some simple words to comfort Nagato.

Fortunately, Nagato is also a straight man and doesn't need a lot to be comforted. After listening to Konan’s comfort, his mood quickly recovered.

Konan then got down to business: “There is too little information about Uchiha Obito in the black market. I can’t analyze the weakness of his Space-Time Ninjutsu at all, so I plan to go to Konoha.”

Hearing this, Nagato frowned: “No! It’s too dangerous!”

Ever since Shisui abducted a White Zetsu’s clone back to Konoha, Nagato knew that Akatsuki no longer had secrets to the Konoha’s higher-ups. The reason why he didn't move was because Konoha had not attacked Amegakure yet.

But not moving does not mean that he can let Konan go to Konoha. This is simply sending a lamb into a tiger’s den!

“Only Konoha has information about Uchiha Obito.” Konan explained.

“Konan, you…”

Nagato still wanted to say something, but Konan interrupted him, “I have already decided.”

There is no superior-subordinate relationship between her and Nagato, so sometimes, she does not need to listen to Nagato’s orders.

Seeing Konan’s determined look, Nagato could only say: “Let Kakuzu and Kisame accompany you!”

Konan shook her head: “They are followed by Zetsu’s clone. And we can’t let Zetsu know about this.”

Konan can fly into the sky to avoid being followed by White Zetsu's clones, but Kakuzu and Kisame can’t.

“In that case, I will go with you!”

Now, Nagato only has Konan left, and he doesn’t want to see her take risks no matter what. Even if she really wants to take risks, he must accompany her!

Konan shook her head again: “Jiraiya-sensei is just outside the village. If you leave, no one can stop him.”

Nagato was startled. He just remembered that Jiraiya is indeed still outside.

‘Damn it!!’

Nagato grabbed the armrests of the seat with both hands tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and he said with clenched teeth: “Then I will give up this place!”

“This is our home, how can you just give it up like this?”

Konan took a step back, and papers started flying behind her, turning into a pair of huge wings, flapping and rolling up winds, and took her flying towards the rain curtain.” So whether it’s Deidara or Konoha, only I can go.”

Seeing Konan flying into the rain, Nagato’s eyes flashed with struggle, and then, he gradually calmed down.

‘You are wrong, Konan, home is where you are!’
