Chapter 75.2 : Death Scepter!

"I think it's better to help the leader answer to the question first. Everyone will say their thoughts and answers, summarize, and choose the most likely answer!" Uchiha Itachi suggested.

"Yes, now it's the only choice!"

Hoshigaki Kisame was the first to agree.

Naturally, Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Uchiha Obito all agreed.

Subsequently, everyone deliberated on the possible ways for Naruto to defeat Nagato one by one.

However, Nagato shook his head, dissatisfied with the suggestions.

All of a sudden, Hidan spoke up, saying, "Could it be the Talk no Jutsu? Obito is destined to reach the level of the Six Paths. If Naruto uses the Talk no Jutsu and utters a few words, it won't be as simple as it seems. The spear that can pierce the sky and shatter the world could be broken."

"Hidan, are you seeking death?" Uchiha Obito coldly retorted.

Taken aback by Obito's intimidating gaze, Hidan quickly explained, "Obito, I didn't mean any disrespect. It's just a possible idea. Perhaps Naruto might speak a few words, and the leader could surrender directly!"

"How could I simply surrender?" Nagato retorted promptly.

As the leader of the Akatsuki, even with Uchiha Obito as the puppeteer behind the scenes, Nagato couldn't afford to appear weak. He had to maintain his authority to lead these individuals.

"Leader, I'm just suggesting a possibility. Don't be angry!" Hidan chuckled.

At this point, Uchiha Itachi chimed in, "I find Hidan's suggestion quite reasonable. Maybe Naruto's words did soften Nagato, revealing a vulnerability, leading to his defeat. So, in a way, it can be considered a defeat. Talk no Jutsu. The crucial question here is what kind of technique was used, and the Talk no Jutsu might be a plausible answer!"

Nagato pondered deeply but remained silent.

After everyone had shared their opinions, Nagato attempted to summarize, yet no definite answer emerged.

"Thank you all!"

Nagato concluded the meeting, dispelled the Magic Lantern Body Technique, and the illusory images of everyone dissipated one by one.

"Nagato, have you decided on your response?" Konan inquired.

"I don't know! Hidan's Talk no Jutsu suggestion seems audacious, but it doesn't seem entirely impossible," Nagato replied.

"Then go with Talk no Jutsu. The more audacious it is, the more likely it might be the real answer. The question and answer card wouldn't present us with a non-existent jutsu, and Talk no Jutsu has been demonstrated before; maybe it's the key!" Konan suggested.

"Okay, I'll go with Talk no Jutsu!" Nagato decided.

[Uzumaki Nagato: In the future, Uzumaki Naruto's technique to defeat me is the Talk no Jutsu!)

[Hidan: Wow, Nagato, you followed my advice! I'm truly touched!)

[Kakuzu: Hidan, if the answer is wrong, Nagato might hack you to death! After all, you suggested the answer!]

[Hidan: If it's the wrong answer, don't blame me!)

[Tsunade: Did Akatsuki just have a meeting?]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Talk no Jutsu? Nani, can my mouth really beat Nagato-san?]

[Haruno Sakura: Naruto, it's just an answer, not a real solution. Your Talk no Jutsu made Obito unsteady, just luck! Besides, Obito wields the Amana spear, and the Amana spear has a flaw, exploited by you to break it. Your Talk no Jutsu is not even a real Jutsu; how could you defeat Nagato?]

[Naruto: So, Nagato-san is going to give the wrong answer this time?)

[Tsunade: Nagato is really going to get it wrong!]

"Nagato, even if you get the wrong answer, don't lose the Rinnegan, or I might just have to kill you!!!" Uchiha Madara declared coldly.

Soon, the results were revealed.

[Congratulations to Uzumaki Nagato for the correct answer!)]

Surprise!

Everyone stood in shock, realizing it was indeed an unexpected turn of events - Talk no Jutsu!

[ Uzumaki Naruto: I defeated Nagato-san using my mouth???)

[Fourth Hokage: Son, that's amazing! Is your mouth really that powerful?]

[ Jiraiya: Naruto, can you teach me this ninjutsu?

[ Uchiha Sasuke: …does it actually work?

[ Sarutobi Konohamaru: Wow, Big Brother Naruto, your mouth is so cool!)

[Uzumaki Naruto; Konohamaru, you've picked up some bad habits. Why are you calling my mouth arrogant?)

[ Sarutobi Konohamaru: Oh, Naruto brother, I got too excited and missed a word. After all, you're my big brother. Shouldn't I be happy for my powerful elder brother?"

[ Uzumaki Naruto; Well, I'll let it slide this time!

[ Tsunade: Nagato's answer is correct. This might not be good news for us!)

[ Hidan: I'm really curious about what reward Nagato will get. After all, I played a part in this too!"

Soon, Nagato's rewards were announced.

A reward item appeared on the live broadcast, a scepter made of white bones.

[Death Scepter: It can control the power of death, summon an army of undead, sacrifice lives to display the Hand of the Undead, and retrieve souls from the Pure Land for resurrection. 

Note: The Hand of the Undead can only be cast once every ten years, consuming a portion of your lifespan. Forcibly casting it will use up your entire lifespan. The Death Scepter can only be activated by those surpassing Kage-level! To resurrect people from Pure Land, sacrifice is required.]
