#364 - Uzumaki Nagato
#364 - Uzumaki Nagato
In the time that followed, Liang Yue didn't make any further moves.
But soon, with the help of Kakashi, Asuma, four other Jonin extras, and Ino and Shikamaru, the two-lives-remaining Kakuzu was ultimately unable to escape the fate of being beaten to death.
Afterward, the two extras consciously used space scrolls to collect the corpses, intending to bring Hidan and Kakuzu's bodies back to Konoha to submit the mission, while Kakashi came directly to Liang Yue.
"What's the situation with the previous Akatsuki member? Did you manage to capture him?"
Seeing the unusually serious expression on Kakashi's face, Liang Yue didn't waste words and directly took out the photos he had taken earlier from his storage space and handed them to the other party.
Then, he followed Kakashi's train of thought and replied.
"I didn't manage to keep him. That person is very tricky. He can use the Sharingan to cast a strange space-time ninjutsu, and his body can switch back and forth between reality and illusion.
Whether it's swords, sword beams, or ninjutsu, none of them can affect him, but in this ethereal state, he can't cause any harm to others.
Moreover, this ability can probably only last for about five minutes continuously in a short period before reaching its limit. Also, he can use a transfer-type space-time ninjutsu through the Sharingan.
It's like a vortex, which can be used to transfer himself to escape, or to transfer others. He used this ability on me before, but I broke free."
"How did you get rid of his space-time ninjutsu?"
After listening to Liang Yue's description, Asuma's face also became serious, and he quickly asked.
After all, the Akatsuki's relationship with other countries in the ninja world is adversarial. The stronger the people within this organization, the more trouble the ninja villages will have.
An opponent who can use such a strange space-time ninjutsu is naturally the focus of their research.
"I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get away."
Liang Yue said at this time without blushing or skipping a beat~
In fact, the instantaneous movement technique he used before was not the Flying Thunder God Technique at all, but another skill.
Like the healing technique used to save Asuma, it also came from the Legendary series, but it was a skill of a new profession, the Assassin~ 《Ghost Spirit Step》!
"Using space-time to fight against space-time..."
Asuma fell silent after hearing this.
Kakashi's face, on the other hand, became even more unsightly, and the photos in his hand were crumpled by him, his eyes fixed on the person in the photo.
In addition, in fact, apart from the idea of using space-time ninjutsu to fight against space-time ninjutsu.
Liang Yue felt that the Body Replacement Technique might also be a good choice, but at that time, he was eager to keep the other party and didn't think so much...
......
Without a word along the way, after completing this mission, the group rested briefly and returned to Konoha.
In the following period, Liang Yue entered a period of rest again, but the situation in the ninja world was still becoming increasingly tense.
During this period, the ninjas of Konoha were also frequently dispatched to investigate and surround the Akatsuki, but they still failed to stop the opponent from collecting the Tailed Beasts.
The wild Three-Tails and Six-Tails Jinchuriki were also captured and imprisoned one after another.
And the person responsible for taking action was the traitor of Konoha Village, the survivor of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke!
When Liang Yue heard this news in the Hokage's office, he also fell into deep thought~
"I didn't expect Sasuke to embark on this path again..."
"Speaking of which~ Sasuke is now rising, so his brother Itachi... shouldn't he have also died like in the original story?"
"I haven't heard any news about the two brothers dueling."
"However, since he ran to find the Eight-Tails, then Sasuke should have already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, right?"
"Well~ It seems I have to quickly prepare a few scrolls of the Fire Sealing Method, both of those brothers know Amaterasu..."
"Hey? Speaking of which, I wonder if my Thunder Fire Tree can absorb that Amaterasu black flame~"
"Also, I don't know if this time Killer B was captured, was it him or a squid leg."
"This plot~ After the Eight-Tails, it's..."
......
"Chunqiu, this time you will be responsible for Sasuke's side, try to capture him alive and bring him back."
Just as Liang Yue was sitting aside in a daze, he suddenly heard the voice of the Third Hokage in his ear.
Looking up, he realized that at this time in the Hokage's office, Tsunade, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kakashi, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Nara Shikaku had all focused their attention on him.
"...I'm not going."
Liang Yue heard this, his expression paused slightly, and then he shook his head and said.
"Hmm? Why aren't you going?"
Tsunade, as the current Hokage, raised her eyebrows upon hearing this and looked at him with some surprise.
"Now that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has been attacked, then it should be the Nine-Tails' turn next. Naruto is now in Mount Myōboku. If the Akatsuki can't find him,
they will definitely come to Konoha. Before that, I need to stay in the village."
Liang Yue said at this time looking at the people next to him, his face expressionless.
"What, you don't have confidence in us?"
Jiraiya heard this and looked at him with some amusement.
The other three, the Third Hokage, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, who had already successfully advanced to the innate level, also showed smiles with different expressions.
However, the Third Hokage's face had a bit of relief, as if he was very happy to see that he could think of the safety of the village.
Aunt Tsunade's relief was mixed with a bit of disdain, seemingly feeling that Liang Yue had underestimated them.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, was just smiling...
"...As far as I know, the Rinnegan should be the existence after the Sharingan has evolved to the extreme, and Nagato's full name is Uzumaki Nagato, as the orphan of the Uzumaki clan.
It is impossible for him to have a pair of Rinnegan, at least his eyes should not be natural."
Saying that, Liang Yue's tone paused slightly, and then looked at the crowd whose faces changed drastically.
"I once met Itachi before, and learned from him that even for an Uchiha clan member, it is only the Mangekyō level Sharingan.
Every time they use their pupil power, they will consume a lot of life force, and their eyes will go blind after a long time. Although Nagato has the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan.
But facing the exploitation of the Rinnegan, I am afraid it is also consuming a lot, so I guess this is why he divided the power of the Rinnegan into six.
And one more thing can be confirmed, that is, Nagato is unlikely to use the power of the Rinnegan with all his strength under normal circumstances, including last time, when facing Jiraiya."
"So, what do you mean?"
Jiraiya heard this, his face began to become serious at this time, and he looked at him with his arms folded.
"Through the information brought back by Orochimaru, we can understand that the ultimate goal of Nagato and others in establishing the Akatsuki is actually for peace, but this method is very extreme.
Gathering the power of all the Tailed Beasts to create weapons that can destroy the major countries of the ninja world to achieve a situation of terror balance is his goal for many years, so he will definitely do his best for it.
Now our Konoha's strength is too strong, but in order to gather the Tailed Beasts, Nagato will inevitably spare no expense, and I won't say who will win or lose then.
But the Rinnegan, which is fully exerted, will definitely cause huge damage to the village."
Hearing Liang Yue's words, the faces of the other people present all sank, and their faces began to become unsightly.
After a moment, Tsunade looked at Liang Yue and asked.
"Even if things are as you said, if you stay, are you confident in dealing with the Rinnegan?"
"In fact, the Byakugan is also a bloodline that is not weaker than the Sharingan at all, but relatively speaking, it will be more difficult to achieve the ultimate evolution."
"Oh? Could it be that you have already done it?"
"Not completely, but consuming a lot of chakra can make the Byakugan enter a higher level in a short period of time."
"If you don't mind, can Lord Chunqiu use it to open my eyes?"
Orochimaru licked his lips subconsciously at this time, and a pair of snake pupils bloomed with a fine light.
Liang Yue: "..."
