Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 42 The One-eyed King
"Go ahead and tell them to hurry up and don't waste time going to the Land of Iron." Nagato waved his hand and told the aloe head to get out of here.

After Bai Zetsu left, Nagato said to Konan on the side: "With your chakra control, it is not impossible to learn these techniques. From now on, just focus on practicing. Things in the village can be left to you." Let the people below handle it.”

Although the original Rain Hidden Village has been destroyed by the Pains, the related ninja system has still been preserved.The internal affairs of the village have always been handled by Xiaonan, the "angel".But today is different from the past, and Nagato feels that it is better for Xiaonan to focus on improving her strength.

Seeing Konan nodding quietly and agreeing, Nagato glanced at Tsunade with a look of disgust: "How about it? You teach Konan how to learn ninjutsu, and our Amegakure Village will take care of your food?"

Tsunade's eyes widened in anger at Nagato's words, and she looked at him as if asking him if there was something wrong with his brain?
"Don't be ignorant! Do you know how high prices are in Amegakure Village? Look at you two..." Nagato pointed to the dirty dishes piled on the table and motioned to the two rice cooks to take a look at what they made. Good thing.

Hinata lowered her head in embarrassment, obviously retaining a little bit of precious shame, which is still saved!
Tsunade sneered and started to pick her nose with uncle-like movements, and stepped on the chair arrogantly.

"I mentioned to you last time, have you considered joining the Akatsuki organization?" Nagato simply found a chair to sit down and persuaded Tsunade, "Our Akatsuki organization does not have many official quotas. There are only ten of them, and the number of people who want to join is like a crucian carp crossing a river. Many people are willing to risk their lives just to be able to work as temporary workers for a day. You have to think carefully, in case you lose this opportunity and someone else gets there first. It will be too late if you regret it."

Nagato finally figured it out. Tsunade was still very talented and there was a need to cause trouble.

Tsunade looked at him with a mentally retarded look.

"I've even thought of a title for you after you join the Akatsuki organization." Nagato paused here, seeming to be thinking about something, and then he showed an expression as if he suddenly thought of something, and said with a very perfunctory expression He said in a tone of voice, "How about calling him the One-Eyed King? Such a domineering title is not something that ordinary people can have. If you are not careful, it may be snatched away by others."

Nagato said as he glanced at Hinata and signaled to Tsunade with his eyes, this is your competitor for the title of "One-Eyed King".

His ability to open which pot and lift which pot is really amazing, Tsunade couldn't even pick out his booger, so he gave him a cold look, thinking that this red-haired man wanted to find fault and fight?How did she become the "One-eyed King"? This red-haired one has no points?

"Let's do this..." Nagato wanted to persuade him again, but Tsunade quickly raised her right hand with her palm facing his face to signal him to shut up.

Nagato immediately shut his mouth obediently. Medical talents like Tsunade still need to be respected.This old woman can save people's lives at critical moments. Although he himself doesn't need it, Xiaonan does.

"For ninjas, death is a very common thing." Tsunade said in an extremely serious tone, "I have participated in many wars and lost many cherished people, but I will never feel sorry for the sacrifice of my companions." Hated because it was a sacrilege to their death."

At this point, Tsunade suddenly raised her voice: "But! This does not mean that I will cooperate with someone like you!!"

She glared angrily at Nagato, who had an indifferent face, with an astonishing aura, and her whole body exuded the awe-inspiring righteousness of Han and traitors.In addition, Konan couldn't help but look at her sideways, while Hinata looked at Tsunade with admiration, feeling that she was worthy of being the Hokage!
Nagato was helpless. He glanced at the fierce Tsunade and wondered if this old woman had forgotten how she ran away from Konoha Village and gambled all over the world.If she hadn't had a strong identity, she would have been a rebellious ninja!Who are you pretending to be 13?
He thought for a while and decided to "persuade" this stubborn person in another way: "Humph, sure enough, Naruto is right, you and Jiraiya are not the same kind of people."

He deliberately mentioned Jiraiya in a disdainful tone, which made Tsunade's expression become even more grim, and the air around her became a little tense as her eyes suddenly narrowed.Everyone here knows that Jiraiya died at the hands of the Pains.

Nagato seemed to have not seen Tsunade's expression, and said to himself: "I have seen Naruto's memory (of course this is nonsense), Naruto once said this to you, right? If it was Zirai If you were Hokage, he would never entrust you with such a dangerous mission."

Tsunade clenched his fists tightly, enduring the anger in his heart, and wanted to hear what kind of shit this red-haired man wanted to do.The anger in her eyes was getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed that she was about to burst out uncontrollably.

Nagato smiled: "I'm thinking, if you were replaced by Jiraiya, what choice would he make? Jiraiya once sacrificed his life in order to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization. You Konoha The ninja, Uchiha Itachi, has also been lurking within the Akatsuki organization for a long time as an intermediary, and has made great contributions to Konoha. And you? You have never thought about using me to invite you to join the Akatsuki organization. Do you want an opportunity to explore the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization?"

"Smooth-tongued!" Tsunade couldn't bear it any longer. She slammed the table and stood up suddenly, "I am the fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Nagato blinked and understood what she meant immediately.Naruto is the iconic character of Konoha Village and represents the entire Konoha Village.Whether he died in another country for intelligence like Jiraiya, or joined a hostile organization with a stigma like Itachi, it was obviously not what Hokage should do.Nagato narrowed his eyes and realized that it would not work to deceive Tsunade about Jiraiya and Itachi. This old woman is not stupid. Why didn't she see it before?

"So what? There is already a sixth generation Hokage, and it won't be long before the seventh generation Hokage will be elected. The premise is that Konoha Village can exist until then..."

"Are you going to attack Danzo?" Tsunade looked at Nagato with a bit of expectation.

Nagato suddenly felt that Danzo was a good classmate. Should he consider deliberately setting things aside to spare his life when dealing with the Five Kage Conference?
"It's not us, it's Uchiha Sasuke, haven't you heard? He wants revenge on Konoha!" He quickly put aside the relationship and explained that the person who wanted to kill Danzo was Sasuke.It saves him the trouble of saving face when Danzo is not killed.Forget it Sasuke, that kid is used to being slapped in the face and should be able to understand the good intentions of his leader.

Tsunade calmed down, stared at Nagato and stopped talking.Because now she doesn't know the truth about the Uchiha genocide, the sacrifice of Itachi mentioned by Nagato just now, and the mention of Sasuke's revenge now, gave her a bad premonition.

Nagato didn't notice Tsunade's expression. He thought that at this point in time, everyone knew the truth about the Uchiha genocide incident.Seeing that the old woman suddenly stopped talking, Nagato continued: "Of course, I don't think Sasuke has the strength to take revenge on Konoha yet, but if Sasuke joins the Akatsuki organization, it might be possible. As long as I am willing to help him, I will Soon, Konoha Village will disappear from this world, you know, I have the strength."

Having said that, Nagato looked at Tsunade and increased his tone: "As far as I know, Sasuke's current goal is to execute all the people in Konoha Village, whether they are ninjas or civilians, regardless of age!"

Tsunade, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed her face, gritted her teeth, and seemed to want to say something but held back.She didn't want Nagato to know that she, the Hokage, didn't know as much about Uchiha matters as Nagato, a foreigner.And her intuition told her that what Nagato said was true, because Konoha Village had changed long ago, and no matter what dark things happened in Konoha, it was possible.

Hinata, who had been listening, couldn't help covering her mouth, her wide eyes were full of shock.It was hard for her to imagine that Sasuke Uchiha, who graduated from the ninja school in the same year as her, would want to do such a thing to Konoha Village one day.

"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Tsunade remained silent, Nagato nodded, feeling that he understood what she meant, "You are bound by the identity of Hokage, so you can't join Akatsuki, right? Then as long as The Leaf Village has been destroyed, the position of Hokage no longer exists, and the obstacle to your joining the Akatsuki organization has disappeared."

After speaking, he stood up, as if that was the end of the conversation.

"Wait!" Tsunade was furious again, "What do you want to do again?"

She felt that Nagato was obviously not normal. He had been "chatting" well in Konoha before, but suddenly he blew up Konoha. She still didn't know what terrible plans he had.

Nagato ignored her and walked to the door in a few steps.

"Come back!" Tsunade shouted quickly, "Let's discuss it again. How about we each take a step back?"

She had already figured it out. Konoha was like this anyway, and she had become a prisoner. Why did she care so much? She should first figure out what was going on with the Akatsuki organization.

A long time ago, when the young Sannin met the demigod Hanzo in the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya chose to bear it to the end, while Tsunade was the one who supported Jiraiya and persuaded him to stop talking.

Many years later, Sannin, who has become famous all over the world, met Nagato one after another in Yuyin Village. Orochimaru chose to join him and then defected. Now, too, she will have to make her own choice.
