Chapter 139

April, 49th year of the Leaf.

In order to seek cooperation for external power.

The 'Pot Hokage' Shimura Danzo decisively sought out Hanzo of the Salamander from the Hidden Rain Village, who was at least a late-stage Kage-level powerhouse who had defeated the Leaf Sannin in their youth!

With the increase in age.

Hanzo of the Salamander also began to focus on power.

And at this stage, the Akatsuki organization led by Yahiko grew rapidly, but in his view, this was not a good thing, because the growth of the Akatsuki organization had threatened his status.

Finally.

Konan was kidnapped by Shimura Danzo.

But she was rescued halfway by Black Zetsu, who prepared to send her to Father as a hostage (wife).

And the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko, without knowing the truth, threw himself onto Uzumaki Nagato's kunai, dying on the spot due to organ rupture and excessive blood loss.

The Akatsuki organization lost two important members.

"Summoning Jutsu—"

"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

Inheriting Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan.

Uzumaki Nagato watched with his own eyes the miserable death of his best friend, and Konan's life or death was unknown.

Clapping his hands together.

He extracted a large amount of his own life force, his whole body thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, until he became skin and bones, before launching this move.

The Ten-Tails husk, which had not absorbed the power of the Tailed Beasts, broke through the ground directly, constantly venting its terrifying power.

"AHHH!!!"

The dual pain of body and mind.

Made Uzumaki Nagato roar.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path also displayed overwhelming strength; even without absorbing the power of a single Tailed Beast, it could still exert Super Kage-level combat power, after all, it could be considered the husk of the Ten-Tails.

More than two hundred Hidden Rain ninja and over forty Root ninja.

Were all completely wiped out in almost a single encounter, leaving not even a scrap behind.

Seeing that the situation was not good.

Shimura Danzo also slipped away directly.

What kind of bullshit ally; naturally, his primary goal was to save his own life.

This could be considered trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; the 'Root' ninja he had left were only a hundred or so, and now he had lost another third, making Shimura Danzo's heart ache to his lungs.

As for.

Hanzo of the Salamander, who had late-stage Kage-level strength.

Facing the Super Kage-level Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, after a great battle between the two, the only outcome was death in battle.

When everything settled down.

Uzumaki Nagato, who had lost two best friends.

Also succeeded to the position of leader of the Akatsuki organization, occupying the Hidden Rain Village and beginning to develop.

He abandoned his once ridiculous philosophy, intending to use pure power to achieve true peace!

Hidden Leaf Village.

Senju of the Forest residence.

Possessing the world's top concealment ability.

The filial son Black Zetsu carried the unconscious Konan directly into Senju Xingye's bedroom.

Her light blue-purple hair was tied into a bun hairstyle, a pale blue paper flower was worn on the right side of her head, her face was delicate, and she wore light purple eyeshadow.

She wore a black trench coat embroidered with a white-bordered red cloud pattern.

And light purple tight-fitting trousers.

From Senju Xingye's perspective, she looked quite like a sleeping beauty.

She was one of the founders of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed 'White Tiger', a girl who mastered 'Paper Release', and also a disciple that Jiraiya had picked up casually back then.

Konan now possessed the strength of an elite Jonin.

Once she grew for a few more years, she could steadily step into the Kage-level realm.

Of course.

Konan also had a title, 'The Spendthrift Woman'.

In the original timeline, the money the Akatsuki organization worked hard to earn, plus Kakuzu's shrewd financial management.

As a result.

With her six hundred billion explosive tags.

She directly squandered all those savings.

It was fortunate that Kakuzu had already kicked the bucket by then, otherwise he would have been furious on the spot, picked up his little kitchen knife, and fought Konan to the death; even the current assets of the Senju of the Forest couldn't afford to play like that.

Senju Xingye looked at the girl and Black Zetsu before him and asked in confusion:

"So, why did you bring her to me?"

The filial son Black Zetsu said respectfully:

"Father, this girl is the bond of Uzumaki Nagato; as long as she is in our hands, it can be considered an insurance policy, which can prevent Nagato from losing control in the future; after all, he inherited Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, so we must be careful."

Senju Xingye raised an eyebrow and said:

"There's no need to stuff her here, though; I don't engage in human trafficking. Can't you just catch her and keep her in some uninhabited area?"

The filial son Black Zetsu explained:

"To tell you the truth, Father, I am not good at fighting, so I may not be able to keep her under control, and since you are expanding the descendants of the Senju of the Forest, you can just take her as a concubine."

One has to admit.

Black Zetsu is worthy of being the number one filial son in the ninja world.

Not only does he work diligently for hundreds of years, wanting to save his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

At the same time.

For the father he recognized, Senju Xingye.

He is also very filial, directly sending a beautiful wife on the spot.

You obedient son.

I, Senju Xingye, approve of you!

"Also, Konan's codename in the Akatsuki organization is 'White Tiger', Father, you..."

"Absurd! How can one easily believe such hearsay? Unless spoken in person, it cannot be concluded. Why don't you withdraw quickly?"

"Then I won't disturb you, Father."

Upon hearing this. ===== CHAPTER 142 =====
