91 Susanoo Unleashed

As Naruto unleashed the power of Susanoo in a sudden burst of violence, neither Konan nor Nagato reacted immediately. Naruto's primary goal was to locate Nagato, who had suffered significant injuries in the past few years. During an incident involving the summoning of the Gedo Statue, Nagato's legs were blown off by detonating talismans, rendering him unable to walk. Moreover, the Ten-Tails sacred tree, absorbed a considerable amount of vitality, leaving Nagato weakened and perpetually unwell.

Recognizing the vulnerability of Nagato's condition, Naruto had various means to attack him. Konan, alarmed by Naruto's sudden movement, quickly flew up and positioned herself in front of Nagato.

However, Naruto, with a grin on his face, activated his Byakugan.

Despite Konan's internal frustration and the potential threat, Nagato intervened, instructing Konan to step back. Naruto, visibly surprised, teased Nagato, "No, you dare to talk to her like this? Are you afraid of not getting a good night's sleep?"

Nagato clarified their relationship, asserting that he and Konan were not involved romantically. Konan, still silent and with cold eyes, had once shared a deeper connection with Yahiko. Following Yahiko's death, Nagato took up the responsibility to protect Konan and pursue Yahiko's dream, even though their aspirations had evolved beyond recognition. The atmosphere crackled with tension as Naruto navigated the complex dynamics between the enigmatic figures of Amegakure.

Reflecting on shattered dreams and transformed relationships, Naruto couldn't help but remark on the irony of being used as a tool for a cause that had long lost its original purpose.

After dismissing Susanoo with a thought, Naruto descended directly into Nagato's room in the tallest building of Amegakure. The secrecy surrounding the entrance from downstairs highlighted the room's significance. Observing Nagato, Naruto noted the toll on his body. Relying solely on the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato appeared frail, his iconic red Uzumaki hair replaced by gray, and he struggled to speak.

Expressing concern for Nagato's life expectancy, Naruto inquired about the dire state of Nagato's health. The Rinnegan, once Nagato's eyes, now belonged to Uchiha Madara, further diminishing Nagato's vitality. Maintaining the Six Paths of Pain and the Rinnegan exacted a heavy toll, leaving him with only a few years to live.

Surprisingly, Naruto proposed removing Nagato's eyes to extend his life. Both Konan and Nagato were taken aback, but Nagato declined, determined to witness the achievement of peace in the Ninja world with those eyes.

Undeterred by the gravity of the situation, Naruto pointed to his own eyes, indicating that he possessed the necessary eyes. The conversation shifted to the broader topic of peace in the Ninja world, with Naruto requesting tea from Konan to share critical information.

Konan, seemingly indifferent to the proceedings, paid no heed. Naruto, turning his attention back to Nagato, brought up the incident involving Yahiko's death. He questioned whether Konoha Village, led by Shimura Danzō and Anbu, played a role in the circumstances surrounding Yahiko's demise, unraveling another layer of the complex history between the villages.

Naruto persistently emphasizes his actions, steadily building a good atmosphere between him and Nagato. In a final attempt to validate his claims, he drops a bombshell: the revelation that he killed Danzo the night before defecting. He challenges them to verify his words.

The shock on Nagato and Konan's faces is palpable, their disbelief evident. Nagato, breaking the silence, instructs Konan to make Naruto the best tea. Anxiety flickers in Konan's eyes, wary of potential violence. Naruto reassures her with a three-fingered oath, expressing a genuine desire to cooperate rather than fight.

As Konan departs to fulfill the request, Naruto remains seemingly unfazed by the situation. Nagato subtly deploys his Six Paths of Pain, Penn, behind Naruto, but Naruto acknowledges the defensive strategy. He hints at his advantage, possessing pupil skills that Nagato lacks.

With a sincere smile, Naruto turns his back to Nagato, showing trust despite the potential threat. He observes the direction of Konoha Village, speculating on whether Nagato harbors resentment due to the Yahiko incident. The conversation takes a lighter turn as Naruto inquires about the perpetual rain in Rain Shinobi Village, delving into the philosophical existence of rainbows.

As the dynamics shift and the encounter between Naruto and the leaders of Amegakure takes unexpected turns, the future becomes uncertain.
