Chapter 584

Two days later, Rain Village, in a ward.

A red-haired man was lying on the hospital bed. There was a circle of black ear studs embedded in the edges of the man's ears, giving him a unique temperament.

Nagato slowly opened his eyes, and the dazzling light shone into his eyes, making him subconsciously close them.

"I... didn't die?"

Nagato raised his arm with difficulty. The two rows of black metal nails on his arms came into view. Seemingly thinking of something, Nagato's eyes widened a bit.

He was lying flat! He hadn't experienced this feeling of lying flat on a bed for more than ten years. For the previous ten years, he had been sleeping standing up, like a horse.

"It seems the surgery was successful. The organism in the chest cavity has disappeared, the organs have regained vitality, and the spine... has returned to its normal appearance. The embedding position of the signal receiver is perfect. Did the melee powerhouse consider this point long ago?"

Although Nagato's facial emotional fluctuations were not great, just imagine a patient who had been nearly paralyzed for more than ten years suddenly regaining health and being able to walk freely. What kind of mood was that?

Nagato was in that mood now, but his experiences in his youth destined him not to have emotions like wild joy.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Konan took out a glass bottle containing the nutrient solution prepared by Su Xiao. She would give Nagato an IV drip five times every day.

"Nagato, you're awake."

Konan walked quickly to the hospital bed. Although a smile appeared on her face, there were no major emotional fluctuations.

Konan's personality was similar to Nagato's; neither would have expressions like loud laughter.

"Mm, help me up."

Nagato gritted his teeth and sat up. Even if the surgery was very successful, recuperation was necessary. It was very strenuous for Nagato to get up now.

"You just had surgery two days ago, it's better not to..."

Nagato waved his hand, and Konan could only help Nagato up.

Trying to walk forward, his feet went soft after just two steps, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a wow.

This startled Konan. After helping Nagato back to the hospital bed, she walked out of the room quickly and strode toward Su Xiao's room.

And Su Xiao was doing a "big thing." In front of him lay a tablet computer that had been dismantled.

The progress of the puzzle game was "killed in action." If Obito hadn't been holding him back, Su Xiao might have slaughtered Sasuke. This was the progress he had racked his brains to clear!

Su Xiao was not very proficient in electronic equipment. The difficulty of dismantling the tablet computer was not too great, but putting it back together was extremely difficult, and he had no clue.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang glanced at Su Xiao, its gaze seemingly saying: "Master, if you can put it back together, I'll perform a handstand and gnaw on a bone for you."

Su Xiao was not interested in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gnawing on a bone while doing a handstand, and he couldn't put the tablet computer back together either.

"Contractors in the Reincarnation Paradise might have a way, sigh~"

Putting the "corpse" of the tablet computer into his storage space, Su Xiao's repair plan was declared a failure. He was not omnipotent; there were things he was good at and things he was not good at. No one was perfect.

Bang.

The door was pushed open roughly, and Konan rushed into the room. Such a loss of composure made Su Xiao's brows lock tightly.

"Nagato is awake?"

"Yes, and he spat blood."

"Spat blood?"

Su Xiao stood up and walked with Konan toward Nagato's ward.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao stood before Nagato's hospital bed. After learning the cause and effect, he was somewhat speechless.

"Spitting blood is very normal. I'm very surprised you didn't kick the bucket immediately."

Konan's expression was not very good. Su Xiao's words were indeed not pleasant to hear.

"That kind of major surgery can't be recovered from in just two days. It's not bad that you could get up within two days. First, restore the basic functions of the body. When the body functions stabilize, you will recover faster and faster in the next few days."

Su Xiao pointed his finger at Nagato's chest, sensing the situation inside Nagato's body.

"The problem is not big, but if you want to recover, you can only recuperate slowly."

"Sorry for the trouble."

"Just don't forget the previous promise."

"Mm. After I recover, I will go to attack Konoha immediately. Will you go along?"

"Of course."

If things had developed according to the original plot, it would have been difficult for Su Xiao to join the plan to attack Konoha, but now this was part of the deal, and Nagato wouldn't refuse.

After Su Xiao saved Nagato's life, the unpleasantness caused by the Tailed Beast incident between the two sides had improved. Facts proved that his choice was very correct.

Joining Obito's camp might yield temporary benefits, but the main mission still relied on Nagato to complete. Nagato was more straightforward, while Obito was too good at showing off.

Just after leaving Nagato's room, having nothing to do, Su Xiao remembered that he still had Akatsuki organization contribution points that hadn't been used.

Akatsuki organization contribution points: 1720 points.

It was far from his expectation; the 【Space Secret Pattern】 that required 3000 points to exchange seemed to be out of the question.

The final battle was about to begin. After destroying Konoha, Su Xiao would leave the Naruto World immediately. By then, no matter how many Akatsuki organization contribution points he had, they would be useless.

Thinking for a moment, Su Xiao found Konan outside Nagato's ward.

"Konan, I want a certain item in the organization as a reward for helping the Akatsuki organization all along."

"What do you want?"

"Space Secret Pattern."

"Okay."

Konan was very straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

Not long after, Konan brought a scroll. The scroll was only the length of a finger, and a pale golden light flowed on its surface.

Su Xiao's 1720 Akatsuki organization contribution points disappeared. He only spent 1720 points to purchase the Space Secret Pattern, which originally cost 3000 points. This could be considered a benefit of saving Nagato.

It was absolutely impossible to obtain the "Space Secret Pattern" without consuming contribution points. If other members of the Akatsuki organization knew, it would inevitably lead to objections.

【Space Secret Pattern】

Origin: Naruto · Uzumaki Clan.

Quality: Pale Golden

Type: Embedded Secret Pattern.

Effect: Can be branded on equipment or a certain part of the body. After branding, gain the ability: Primary Space Imprisonment.

Primary Space Imprisonment: Can seal space fluctuations within fifty meters. Within this area, space-type skills below Tier 5 will fail. The effect lasts for 30 minutes, with a cooldown of 2 natural days.

Rating: 285 (Note: The rating of pale golden items is 260 to 310. The higher the rating, the more precious the item.)

Introduction: A secret pattern produced by the Uzumaki clan. There is a certain chance of failure when branding, and the consequences of failure are serious. Please consider carefully.

Price: 3000 faction contribution points.

The "Space Secret Pattern" belonged to the scroll-type item and could be used immediately. Su Xiao hesitated about where to brand it.

First, exclude body parts; Blade of the Demon energy might devour this thing.

That left only equipment. Su Xiao couldn't decide for a moment which piece of equipment to brand it on.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was impossible; branding had a chance of failure. If Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan suffered damage, it would be a huge loss.

The equipment Su Xiao was currently wearing included:

Weapon: Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan+8 (Dark Purple)

Scabbard: Spirit's Afterglow (Dark Purple)

Secondary Weapons: Spider Queen (Purple Sniper Rifle), Black and White Dual Pistols (Purple Dual Pistols)

Necklace: Mikasa's Heart+5 (Blue)

Ring: Mithril Holy Ring (Purple)

Hand: Bull Leader Arm Armor + Boundary Breaking Line (Purple)

Upper Body: Arashi Kai Trench Coat (Dark Purple)

Foot: Tactical Leather Boots (Purple)

Decoration: Fate Redemption+7 (Blue)

Detection: Apostle's Eye (Pale Golden)

Su Xiao suddenly discovered that he had become very wealthy without realizing it, and the attributes of these pieces of equipment were all quite good.

After weighing it for a long time, he decided to brand the 【Space Secret Pattern】 on the Arashi Kai Trench Coat (Dark Purple).

The reason was simple: the three abilities of the Arashi Kai Trench Coat—Night Storm (Passive), Anti-Penetration (Passive), and Self-Healing (Passive)—were all quite good, and it could be worn for a long time. Moreover, even if this trench coat were damaged, it wouldn't hurt his bones.

Opening the Space Secret Pattern scroll, a pale golden mark floated in mid-air.

【Yes/No to brand "Space Secret Pattern" onto "Arashi Kai Trench Coat."】

Choosing yes, the pale golden mark floating in mid-air scattered, finally outlining a golden pattern on the sleeve of the Arashi Kai Trench Coat.

The Space Secret Pattern couldn't be carried by ordinary items. If the item's strength wasn't enough, it would shatter the moment it was branded.

Su Xiao put on the Arashi Kai Trench Coat; the effect of the Space Secret Pattern couldn't be tested for the time being.

Afterward, he just waited for Nagato's body to recover. Su Xiao occasionally strolled around the Rain Village, spending most of his time practicing his blade and developing moves.

Five days later, in Nagato's ward.

"I plan to head to Konoha in two days. I'll start making arrangements today to prepare for the attack in two days."

Nagato sat on the hospital bed. Although his body was thin, he didn't look as emaciated as before, and his complexion was no different from an ordinary person.

"I've been waiting for these words for a long time."

Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. Although the gains in the Naruto World were good, this was not a place to stay for long.

The early and late stages of the Naruto World were fundamentally two different worlds; in the later stages, numerous super-Kage level characters appeared, and the combat power was off the charts.
