Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 25 Awakening
With the treatment of the wet bone forest slug, Tsunade recovered faster than Nagato imagined.After she regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and was about to get up from the ground, only to find that she was tightly tied up with something.After taking a closer look, he found that his body was covered with detonating symbols.

Tsunade suddenly woke up and opened her eyes wide.The first thing he saw was Pain lying on the ground. Then he moved his eyes upward and saw Konan and Nagato standing there, wearing red cloud robes of the Akatsuki organization.Especially Nagato, who had his back to her, his long bright red hair, and the slug lying docilely on his back, seemed to have some kind of magnetism, firmly attracting her gaze, making her unable to help herself. Somewhat sad.

After a few seconds, Tsunade forced herself to look away, not to look at the red hair that looked like Uzumaki Mito, plus the slug, one person and one insect.After repeatedly warning herself that Mito was dead, Tsunade suppressed the feeling of nostalgia in her heart and turned her head to see Hinata lying aside and the green mist-filled environment around her.

"This seems to be a wet bone forest?" Tsunade was still very familiar with the scenery here.She struggled to stand up again, but she was still in the state of an old woman and had not recovered much strength. She was unable to break free from the shackles of the detonating talisman.

"What happened after that?" Tsunade shook her head. Her brain was a little confused due to being in a coma for a long time.But she soon recalled the result of her "battle" with the Pains in Konoha.Then, related to the current situation where she was restrained by the detonating talisman, she understood that she should have been captured alive by the enemy.

But why did the Penns all fall to the ground?And why did she appear in Shigulin?What's up with the "familiar" long red hair?For a moment, Tsunade's mind was filled with doubts, and she wanted to know what happened after she fell into coma.

"Are you actually awake?"

At this time, after hearing Tsunade's voice, Nagato turned to look at Tsunade.

His cold tone, unfamiliar face, especially those cold, metallic eyes, immediately shattered Tsunade's dream of seeing Uzumaki Mito, and she fell back into the cold world. in reality.

"It's...it's you??" Almost instantly, Tsunade recalled the red-haired one of the three children she had seen in Yuyin Village before.Looking at Xiao Nan with purple hair next to him, the appearance of the three children at that time immediately came to her mind.

Tsunade's trembling right hand couldn't help but want to clenched tightly, but she couldn't exert any strength in her right hand. After taking a deep breath, she asked Nagato in front of her, "You are the son of Payne's family?" Right? How is Konoha Village doing now?"

The tone when he spoke was still so confident.

"Probably Danzo Shimura will take over as Hokage, right?" Nagato replied with a sneer.What she meant was that what happened to Konoha Village now was none of her business as an expired Hokage.

Tsunade's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Nagato, I want to treat Tsunade-sama." At this time, the slug lying on Nagato's back interrupted.

This bug really never leaves anyone who has made a contract with it.

Nagato twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, "Yes, but don't tell her about me."

He is still very concerned about information about his own abilities, which continues his previous habit.

"Yes." The slug agreed, and then a few slug splits emerged from the surrounding ground, and crawled towards Tsunade.

Xiao Nan watched the slugs' movements with a calm expression.She knew very well that Tsunade was no match for Nagato, so she didn't care how Nagato dealt with Tsunade.

"Do you need me to put away the detonating talisman?" She asked Nagato in a cold voice.

The slugs stopped and turned to look at Nagato, with the obvious intention of asking Nagato to agree.

"Put it away." Nagato shook his head, "Slug, don't restore too much chakra to her. You know her temper, right? If you don't want me to beat her, don't do that."

Nagato felt that he was not a person who liked to beat women, especially an old woman like Tsunade, who was already very old, and it would be disgraceful to win.

"Okay." The slug quickly crawled to Tsunade and began to check her physical condition.

Konan also walked towards Tsunade, raised the five fingers of her right hand towards Tsunade, and took away the detonating talisman from her body.Then he turned around and walked back to Nagato.

"Slug, why did I make a contract with you..." After her body was wrapped by the slug's split bodies, Tsunade couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It should have been wiped out by Nagato." Slug was also helpless. Until now, it felt that what Nagato did was not something a serious person could do.

"Let's treat Hinata too." Tsunade's voice was a little low, as if he was very disappointed.When she saw the slug lying on Nagato's back before, she vaguely guessed something.It is now certain that the slug has been taken away by Nagato, which is really abominable.When the slugs began to treat Hinata, Tsunade seemed to have thought of something again. She perked up and opened her eyes wide, "Where is Naruto? How is Naruto?"

Slug turned to look at Nagato.

Although it was also in Konoha at the time, it did not join in the battle between Naruto and Nagato.What exactly happened between the two people is probably only known by the parties involved.

"You have to go too far..." In the past, Nagato would have ignored the slug, but now that he has learned the art of magic, besides Konan, the one he feels most close to is the cute slug. The elders replied impatiently, "Naruto is doing very well. He will join my Akatsuki organization soon. Maybe it will be Naruto who wants to destroy Konoha."

This is of course nonsense. No matter how dark Naruto becomes, he will never reach that point. It is difficult to change his one-track mind.

"Impossible!" Tsunade shouted, "Naruto will not join your Akatsuki organization!"

I don't know if there is any magic power in the word "Naruto" or because Hinata's injury was not serious in the first place. Hinata, who was being treated by slugs, also opened her "eyes" at this time.

The two bloody holes on her face were really sad. Nagato shook his head when he saw it. No wonder Naruto was so frightened that he burst out the Nine-Tails chakra after just one look at it. It was too scary.

"Naruto? Where is this place? Why can't I see anything?" Hinata looked around in panic.

Although there was no moonlight at this time, the sky was already turning white.Ninjas with normal vision would not be affected by any light, but of course Hinata couldn't see anything without her eyes.

For Hinata, who has Byakugan, this feeling of suddenly falling into absolute darkness should be unique.The man who had always had the theoretically strongest eyesight suddenly lost it.This sense of terror made Hinata's body tremble all the time. It seemed that she even lost her courage after she couldn't see Naruto.
