**************
Inside the tower in Amegakure, Konan entered the room where Nagato's body was located after the meeting.
Looking at Nagato with his ruddy face and freely moving legs, Konan's mood improved significantly.
Even her impression of Madara had changed.
Thanks to the Hashirama cells provided by Madara, Nagato was able to stand again.
His vitality had been greatly enhanced.
In truth, Obito was also helpless.
He had been coveting Nagato's Rinnegan, so why would he willingly strengthen his potential enemy? But faced with Colt's threat and Konoha's strong shinobi, it would be very difficult to successfully capture the Nine-Tails with the current Akatsuki.
No matter how afraid he was of Nagato's recovery, he had to take the risk to restore his health.
Now Nagato was transforming the Six Paths of Pain's bodies. The original Six Paths were too weak, so he had to take advantage of this last moment to strengthen them.
The next day, the perpetual rain of Amegakure had stopped.
Today, with Akatsuki mobilizing all its members, there was no need to monitor the village.
In the tower, led by Pain, dozens of imposing figures in black robes with red clouds emerged.
Everyone exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.
Pain looked around and issued his declaration:
"Today, we will end the myth of the Five Great Powers! Let the shadow of the Akatsuki organization cover the whole world!"
**********
Meanwhile, in Konoha, after Colt and Jiraiya brought back the information, the atmosphere in the entire village had chilled considerably.
There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and foreign tourists were being persuaded to return home by Konoha's ninjas.
If there was no special need, everyone stayed at home quietly.
With the experience of the last Sunagakure invasion, the villagers were worried but not panicking.
Once something happens for the first time, people's acceptance level correspondingly increases.
Outside the village, a large number of Hyuga clan ninjas were scattered around, constantly searching for traces of the enemy.
Suddenly, a Hyuga ninja's eyes widened.
"That's... this chakra!"
In the sight of his [Byakugan], the chakra in the distance was almost overwhelming. In total, it was extremely terrifying. This was the Akatsuki!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately released the signal flares that had been prepared a long time ago.
Each of the dozens of Hyuga ninjas scattered around the village was equipped with several characteristic flares to convey information as quickly as possible.
Boom!
The gunpowder rose to its highest point, bursting out with a huge roar and striking fireworks.
It was clearly visible even in the daytime.
Far away, riding on the back of a clay bird, Pain and the others also saw this scene.
They understood that they had been exposed.
Konan frowned slightly.
"Should we change plans?"
Pain shook his head, "No need. Only by bringing the deepest pain can people understand the preciousness of peace. Our action this time is to make Konoha feel the utmost pain. Detecting us is not going to change that"
At the same time, the ninja in Konoha Village also received the signal, which was conveyed to the Hokage's office as quickly as possible.
"Inoichi, tell everyone to prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Yamanaka Inoichi sat in front of a strange machine, and his family's secret technique
instantly linked all the elite ninjas in the plan. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Dozens of figures jumped directly onto the roofs and ran towards the source of the signal.
Swish!
Colt's figure appeared beside Tsunade.
Ino, Yakumo, Temari, Hinata, and Kurenai were also brought there by him.
"Tsunade-sama, you should stay in the village. If there's any unknown variable, activate the [Flying Thunder God] seal immediately," Colt said, worried that Pain and the others might attack from behind and target the village.
Tsunade gently arranged the clothes of Colt and tapped his forehead.
"You must come back alive."
Colt was caught off guard but then he responded.
"Sister Tsunade, it's just Pain. You can rest assured." He whispered it and the others didn't
hear him.
Tsunade smiled and said nothing.
Of course, she knew how strong Colt was, but she had already lost too much...
"Wait for the good news." Colt tightened the armguard on his hand, used the [Flying Thunder God] again, appeared outside Konoha, and caught up with the large army.
"Colt, you're here," Jiraiya said.
He and the others weren't rushing forward.
Fighting here could not only avoid the spread to the village but also help in time if the village
was in danger.
"Where's Naruto?" Looking around, Colt didn't see Naruto, which was a little strange.
"He was still accumulating natural energy at Mount Myōboku. I'm going to summon him now," Jiraiya replied. After speaking, he bit his finger and performed the [Summoning Technique].
Naruto's figure appeared his eyes with orange eyeshadow, having already entered the [Sage
Mode].
"Colt!" Naruto was overjoyed when he saw Colt, but realizing the gravity of the situation, he immediately turned serious.
"Hey, Naruto." Colt nodded, but his eyes fell on the two toads who appeared with him: Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima.
"Jiraiya, is the enemy this time the legendary Rinnegan?" Lord Fukasaku's expression was
serious.
From Mount Myōboku, he naturally knew many secrets.
After a thousand years, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths had reappeared in the world and
became their enemy.
"Yes, Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima, please help me enter the Sage Mode," Jiraiya said, folding his hands together and starting to accumulate natural energy with the two sage toads. The two toads also noticed Colt's gaze, felt the natural energy surging in his body and were
surprised.
"Jiraiya, who is this kid? Quickly get him under your tutelage!" Lord Fukasaku said hurriedly.
Even Lady Shima's eyes brightened.
Jiraiya looked odd. Bring Colt under his tutelage? He might want to, but he wouldn't dare!
If Tsunade knew that he had recruited Colt, he'd have to buy a permanent room at the Konoha
Hospital.
"Elders, don't even think about Colt. He is a summoner associated with the Shikkotsu Forest. What's more, my strength is no longer comparable to Colt's. Wouldn't it be shameful for me
to accept him as an apprentice?"
Saying that, Jiraiya shook his head with deep regret, obviously very remorseful.
At this time, there was wild laughter from the sky in the distance.
"Hahaha! Boss! This time I'll go first!"
"Fine."
At that moment...
"Konoha's chumps, feel the true art!"
On the rapidly approaching clay bird, there was a conversation between Pain and Deidara.
After they finished speaking, a huge lump of clay exploded from the sky!
Then, huge clumps of clay flew at a rapid speed toward them.
"This is my opponent, let me handle it!" Kakashi's Sharingan began to spin, forming the
Mangekyō.
"[Kamui]!"
With a space warp, the huge clay bombs were all sent into the Kamui dimension!
