161 Chapter 161

Even the Nine-Tails, in his eyes, was no more than a prized possession.

Carnes couldn't help but ponder the audacity of Pain, flaunting his power in front of Hashirama granddaughter Tsunade, especially when Konoha was facing its own decline.

You are really not afraid of that big guy.

He couldn't help but imagine Hashirama jumping out of his coffin and beating Pain!

Hashirama's name lingered in Carnes's thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret for missing out on encountering the greatest legend of this era.

Yet, he also realized that if Hashirama were still alive, the outcome of this encounter would likely be one-sided and uneventful, hardly worth witnessing.

Shifting into a more comfortable position, Carnes allowed his mind to wander, exploring various hypotheses and imaginings.

In the midst of the unfolding drama, Tsunade's expression grew even more serious as she questioned Deva Path, seeking confirmation.

"So, as I suspected, your primary target in this operation is Naruto, isn't it?"

Deva Path remained calm and indifferent demeanor, his secrets and intentions hidden behind a mask of stoicism.

The tension in the air was palpable, the words heavy with the weight of the moment.

But he always positioned himself on a high moral ground, self-righteous and unyielding.

He spoke with conviction, his voice resonating with a sense of impending turmoil.

"There will be disputes everywhere, and the flames of war will engulf the lands if left unchecked."

"It's our duty to control these conflicts. If you're willing to assist us, we can simply let you live."

"But if you choose to stand against us, you will meet your end."

"In this situation, you should fully comprehend the power we possess!" his eyes ablaze with determination.

Seated in a rocking chair, Carnes couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself.

He had never witnessed this side of Nagato before. It was undoubtedly a hidden facet of his youth, a dark chapter in his history.

It was undoubtedly a dark chapter of his youth, more like cringe actions of his youth.

So, Carnes wondered, was the true purpose of Nagato's wish to bring him back to prevent his further mistakes or to erase these haunting and shadowy histories of his past?

In this tense atmosphere, Carnes found himself in an unusual state of mind, his thoughts slightly askew.

He couldn't help but feel slightly detached from it all.

Yet, he couldn't deny the sensation of watching this scene as if it were a live-action movie, which was unfolding before his eyes.

Just as moviegoers wouldn't flee in terror from explosions on the screen, because they knew the two-dimensional characters couldn't harm them.

Carnes knew he was safe, as these two-dimensional beings couldn't never harm him.

Infact they weren't even powerful to leave a scratch on him.

Like turning off the power or unplugging a film, he could reduce the dimensionality of this world at any moment, if he so wished.

While being underestimated by the Deva Path, Tsunade couldn't help but be seethed with anger.

"You bastard, don't underestimate us! If you think you can destroy the stable life that our ancestors fought so hard to build through generations, and start your own way of life, then you're deluded!"

"Your words are meaningless! They hold no sway."

"Don't be so arrogant and get too cocky!"

Deva Path snapped back in an instant and retaliated swiftly.

Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body, filling the room with a powerful energy.
