Chapter 74: Six Paths of Pain, First Mission Together
Konan told Nagato that they would try using Shimura Danzo’s name to lure Hanzo out for a talk and then ambush him.
Nagato not only approved their plan but even planned to come out himself.
If Uehara’s meeting and ambush plan were successful, this would be the perfect revenge plot against Hanzo.
After all, Hanzo ambushed them in the name of the meeting too.
Since the plan this time was too dangerous, Konan ordered Kimimaro and Haku to take Hirakawa to another remote base.
Konan also didn’t want too many people to know about Nagato.
“Will Nagato-sama come like this?”
Uehara glanced at Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Tendo Pain stood beside Nagato, and the other five Paths stood behind them.
This was the first time Uehara had seen Nagato.
Nagato’s red hair was dull, and his cheeks were deeply sunken. His lips didn’t have much color, and his skinny body looked unusually thin.
In addition to that, there were a few black sticks stuck in his back.
Those were leftovers from the Gedo Mazo when it extracted Chakra and vitality from his body in the past. Now he uses it to manipulate the Six Paths of Pain.
Konan looked at Nagato worriedly and persuaded him, “Nagato, you should keep your body in the base…”
“Cough cough cough… don’t worry.”
Nagato coughed a few times and waved his hand to stop Konan, who wanted to persuade him. He raised his head, looked at Uehara, and said, “Uehara, your sensei, and I agree with your plan. This time I’ll act as an additional helper.”
Nagato was worried that Konan would refuse him, so he continued softly, “After all, there are only a few of Akatsuki’s real members left. I don’t want to miss this.”
After Nagato finished speaking, he manipulated Tendo Pain to stand up again, “It’s time, time for God to descend and fight in the Land of Rain!”
Uehara Naraku, “…”
You spoke so well before. Why do you have to say a chuuni line now?!
Anyone who claimed to be a God in an Anime World never ended up well… You could do things in a high profile manner, but you must remember to be a low profile person!
Uehara wondered if he should persuade Nagato not to say it in front of him in the future.
Uehara patted his forehead and whispered, “Nagato-sama, Konan-sensei, let’s discuss the plan first!”
According to the information obtained by the Human Path of Pain, Yamanaka Fu did not reveal to the Amegakure that Shimura Danzo could not leave Konoha. However, he was still in charge of all the negotiations.
Now that he and the Root ninjas were all dead, the possibility of the news spreading was kept to a minimum.
“We don’t have much time.”
Uehara said solemnly, “We only have five days at most to complete this plan, maybe even three days. If Shimura Danzo doesn’t get any news, he will send out the next group of people soon.”
Uehara looked at Konan and Nagato, continuing, “Next, we should transform into some of Konoha’s ninjas and continue to negotiate with Kandachi and try to meet with Hanzo.”
Konan hesitated and said, “Sensory ninjas can see through ordinary transformation skills.”
“Our plan was just to try it anyway.”
Even though he said so, Uehara himself was very confident.
Uehara could transform into Yamanaka Fu, and his skills were more powerful than standard ninja’s transformation techniques.
His skills were far more realistic than the transformations in the ninja world. As long as he did not use skills or attacks, the average ninja couldn’t see through his skills.
The battle plan was determined very smoothly.
The whole plan was divided into three parts.
Nagato and Konan would go to the designated meeting place and arrange the sea of explosive tags. Then Uehara would meet with Kandachi. Simultaneously, Kimimaro and Haku would go to the northern outpost to make a surprise attack, fooling the people of the Amegakure into thinking that Akatsuki’s members were not in the eastern valley, reducing their suspicion and increasing the probability of success.
After they determined the steps of this plan, Konan felt a little confused, “Our plan… isn’t it a bit too sloppy?”
“There’s no other way.”
Uehara sighed, and after looking around the Six Paths, he continued quietly, “Our numbers are too small. Fortunately, the Six Paths of Nagato-sama can help impersonate the Root ninjas…”
Konan, “…”
Nagato, “…”
They would never have guessed that the first mission all six Paths participated in would be to pretend to be a root ninja.
Wasn’t that a little too disappointing?
However, supposing the plan proposed by Uehara succeeds. The blow they dealt to Hanzo would be fatal, and it would be an enjoyable process for Nagato and Konan.
Use the enemy’s method to destroy the enemy.
That was the best way to get revenge.
Nagato sighed faintly and could only manipulate Tendo Pain into putting on the uniform of a Konoha root ninja.
The next day.
Uehara transformed into Yamanaka Fu and rushed to the negotiation place with Tendo Pain, trying to induce Hanzo into participating in a physical meeting through Hanzo’s right-hand man.
This was the agreed time between Konoha Ninja and Ame Ninja.
As for the location, it was still the eastern canyon they used last time.
“You guys are one minute late.”
Kandachi glanced at Yamanaka Fu, then glanced at the few Konoha ninjas wearing cloaks behind, and snorted coldly, “We were just thinking about our sincerity in allying with Konoha!”
“Uh…”
Uehara got stuck for a second and said, “This was because we just received a new order from Danzo-sama. He doesn’t think there would be any results in the negotiation between the two of us.”
“What does he mean by that?”
Hearing what the other side said, Kandachi’s face instantly became furious, “Is Konoha screwing with us? You brought up the alliance first!”
In front of Hanzo, Kandachi suggested that Amegakure and Konoha’s Root should unite and destroy the Akatsuki organization.
Yet, now Konoha suddenly tells him not to?
“Don’t be so impatient.”
Uehara shook his head and glanced at the Ame ninja opposite him. He whispered, “We sincerely want to ally with Hanzo-sama, but the two of us can’t call the shots in this negotiation, right? “
“What do you mean?”
“I mean my words literally.”
The eyes of Uehara flickered towards Kandachi with some regret and continued in a low voice, “I respect your Excellency for not giving up on the Amegakure’s interests, but I am not qualified to participate in this negotiation.”
Kandachi was somewhat satisfied with Yamanaka Fu’s words.
The right hand of Hanzo raised his brows, and a grin spread across his face, “In that case, it seems like Konoha is going to send a big man!”
“Yes”
Uehara nodded and said in a deep voice, “Danzo-sama will rush to the Land of Rain the day after tomorrow. He hopes to meet with Hanzo-sama in person to discuss the alliance with Ame and the number of ninjas that we would send to assist you. “
“I can’t promise you that…”
Kandachi shook his head hesitantly and said in a deep voice, “The last time Hanzo-sama and Danzo met caused quite some controversies in the village… and a lot of grudges.”
After considering his own words, he continued, “This time, our negotiation must be held in secret. The people present are all confidants of Hanzo-sama… If more people knew about this kind of thing. Well, it would not be good for Hanzo-sama prestige.”
After he finished speaking, the six Konoha root ninjas standing nearby obviously changed a little. Soon these actions aroused the vigilance of the Ame ninja.
This was because the Six Paths of Pain controlled by Nagato couldn’t sit still!
Since the plan was not successful, he would kill these people for a bit of interest!
Uehara quickly waved his hands to signal them to stop and looked at Kandachi with an ugly look, “The reputation of Demigod is important. But Danzo-sama also took a huge risk to come here!
Your Excellency might as well go back and tell your Demigod this, “If it weren’t for Danzo-sama advocating for an Alliance with the Amegakure in the Konoha council. Konoha’s Anbu would have long been active in your country and stealing information!” “
