Nagato already had a guess about this, and after getting confirmation, he controlled his trembling hands and took the bowl.

But when he brought it to his mouth, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, how about we each take half?"

Konan shook her head firmly and said, "I can't take this pill. Nagato, please eat it."

When Nagato heard this, he became even more unwilling. What did you mean Konan can't eat it?

Seeing Nagato put the bowl down, Konan knew he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Nagato, you know your body, it can be said that any ordinary medicine will not be effective."

"And the soup after this elixir is dissolved has such a good effect. Do you think this is an ordinary medicine?"

"Besides, this is medicine. It's an extraordinary medicine that I got specifically for you. I'm just an ordinary person with good talents, and I'm not sick. How can I take this extraordinary medicine?"

Konan put his forehead against Nagato's head and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Nagato, do you think I will die if I take this medicine?"

"So, eat it quickly, don't waste a drop!"

Nagato no longer hesitated and drank the full bowl of white floc soup in big gulps.

Xiaonan also rinsed it twice in a bowl with hot water.

He also drank up all the dishwater without leaving a drop.

As a fish egg was completely eaten, the heat in Nagato's stomach began to grow wildly.

Soon he realized what it felt like to swallow a sun.

But this feeling was not uncomfortable, on the contrary, Nagato felt very comfortable.

This sun was the last sun of winter, spreading infinite vitality to the long-silent earth and completely stimulating Nagato's vitality.

The first thing Nagato felt was that his eyes were madly absorbing the heat, and because of the temporary satisfaction, they actually let go of their demand for his own chakra.

He felt an indescribable sense of relief, as if the fifty-kilogram weight he had been carrying for years had suddenly been lifted off his shoulders.

The burden of chakra was reduced, making all the cells in Nagato's body feel relaxed, and hundreds of trillions of cells cheered at the same time.

All cells are recovering and developing frantically.

The arms, which had been weak for a long time, swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The legs that had been out of control for a year regained consciousness amid the tingling and itching, and quickly filled up.

Even though the rapidly expanding muscles had torn his skin, Nagato did not feel the slightest fear or pain, because the wounds were healing quickly.

As for the physical feeling, it is even more obvious.

First, the breathing became strong and powerful, then the heartbeat steadily accelerated, and then other internal organs began to become active, and even made various strange noises.

What surprised him most was that his own bones also joined in the carnival in the end, and the sound of Kala La continued to ring out.

For the first time in his life, Nagato realized that not only his eyes were unique, but even his weak and sickly body was extraordinary.

He has been weak since he was a child. His parents are both medical ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village. Although his family conditions are considered good, they can only provide enough food and clothing.

He simply couldn't afford to buy large amounts of tonic medicine to help him get rid of his skinny appearance.

After his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, Nagato became an orphan and lived a life of hunger and cold from then on.

When energy intake was insufficient, his strong body became a huge burden. He began to fall ill frequently, but he always recovered when he was on the verge of death.

Nagato's frequent illnesses made him a burden among the trio. Thanks to the support of Yahiko and Konan, he was able to persevere and be accepted as a disciple by Jiraiya.

But Jiraiya was a careless person. After knowing that Nagato's eyes were the Rinnegan, he didn't think that there was something wrong with Nagato's health for three years and did not provide him with adequate nutrition.

Simply eating enough can satisfy Nagato's heart, but it cannot satisfy his body. It can only ensure that he will not get sick again.

And now, the powerful and abundant energy contained in the fish eggs entered Nagato's body. Even though 90% of it was devoured by the Rinnegan, the remaining 10% activated his body, causing incredible vitality to burst out.

After just a few hours, Nagato's drastic body changes stopped.

At the same time, he changed from a skinny, bedridden patient to a strong young man with full muscles, ruddy complexion and well-proportioned body.

Feeling the heat still flowing out continuously, supporting the strong vitality of the body and quickly healing the various hidden dangers left over from the past year, Nagato's heart was filled with gratitude.

Moreover, he can already stand on the ground with his own legs and walk around easily, which makes Xiaonan extremely happy.

The two of them searched the small house thoroughly, used the simple food they found as a feast, used the boiled water as wine, and had a joyful party.

The two discussed the future enthusiastically, discussing revenge and rebuilding the Akatsuki organization.

But at dawn, when the fish eggs were completely digested, Nagato immediately felt unwell, and then he covered his eyes with his hands and groaned in pain.

Konan was startled and rushed over to hold him, anxiously asking: "Nagato, what's wrong? What's wrong with your eyes?"

Nagato panted slightly, his face pale again, but his spirit was still good, and he smiled and replied: "It's okay, it's just that the power of the pill is completely exhausted, and the eyes began to drain the chakra in my body, so I couldn't react for a while."

"In fact, the pain has been reduced a lot, but I didn't feel any discomfort tonight. When the stinging pain first came, I was a little bit uncomfortable."

Konan did not relax because of Nagato's explanation. She checked carefully and confirmed that there was no major problem with Nagato's body, such as symptoms of muscle atrophy, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she remembered the precautions that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven had mentioned.

So Konan relayed all these words to Nagato to reassure him.

"It's okay. His Majesty said that even if the effect of the medicine has worn off, you can still recover a lot on your own and can bear the burden better."

"You may become weaker until you reach adulthood, but you won't be reduced to the point where you can't take care of yourself."

"When you reach adulthood, the situation will be completely stable and there won't be any problems in the future."

Nagato nodded and said, "What he said is correct. It agrees with my feeling."

But then he couldn't help but be stunned. He suddenly stared at Xiaonan and said, "I'm so sorry. How could I realize now that the biggest problem is not me, but you, Xiaonan."

"I want to know, who is this 'Your Majesty' you are talking about? Did he give you the pill that turned into a bowl of soup?"

"And..." Nagato's voice revealed an indescribable fear and worry, and he even choked up unconsciously: "You, what terrible price did you pay to get such a precious medicine?"

Konan was shocked by Nagato's words, but then she felt confused. What price did she pay?

It seems like nothing was paid...

It seems that all His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven requires is faith and piety.

When Xiaonan thought of this, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and quickly said sorry to His Majesty the Emperor in his heart.

Then she immediately explained to Nagato: "I didn't pay any special price. At that time, I just told the Emperor of Heaven about the history and current situation of the Rain Country."

"Then I asked Him for a way to heal you, and it took me a long time to determine what was wrong with your body."

"Then I found a way to cure you, but I couldn't get the elixir. So after a long period of research, the Emperor finally came up with a solution to this problem."

The more Nagato listened, the more frightened he became, and he quickly asked, "And then?"

Xiao Nan continued, "Then I came back and prayed according to the method taught by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. I opened the Gate of Granting and He gave me this pill."

"Finally, I dissolved the elixir and gave it to you to drink."

The more Nagato listened, the clearer it became that the mysterious being had suffered a loss.

According to the blackened Nagato's understanding, the other party could not be doing charity out of kindness. To do such a transaction that is obviously at a loss, there must be some conspiracy hidden behind it.

Nagato took a deep breath and asked, "Konan, can you not go to see this being in the future?"

Xiaonan shook his head and replied, "I probably can't refuse. After all, His Majesty summoned me this time without my consent."

Yes, there is no chance to refuse, so it is impossible to avoid it.

Nagato became even more worried, but he did gain huge benefits and couldn't find any problem.

His eyes flashed with vigilance, and he thought to himself: Is this God? I can't understand the logic of His behavior at all, it's really... too scary.

Nagato finally suggested, "It seems that I really can't refuse. The next time He summons you, tell me and I will use my Samsara Eye to see if I can find anything."

Xiaonan said in embarrassment: "I don't know if it will work, because the last time I felt it, I appeared directly in the God's Court, and there was no sign at all before that."

Nagato said frustratedly, "Try your best. You can't just do nothing."

Xiaonan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will try my best."

"Anyway, you are much healthier than before. Meeting His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is a good thing so far."

Nagato couldn't help but cover his eyes again, rubbed them a little, and said with a wry smile: "You are right, although it is still a little hard, I am indeed much better."

As he spoke, he opened his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and exerted force hard, experiencing his own strength and the remaining chakra in his body, and he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Nagato said, "It seems that I have not only recovered my health, but my chakra has also increased a lot. I feel that I can fight again."

"Xiaonan, let's go gather our companions."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Well, we had a hard time after being separated. I'm sure it was hard for our surviving companions too."

Nagato said with a sad face: "When Yahiko was here, he cared most about our companions. He would find ways to help everyone live a good life. Now that Yahiko is gone, his responsibilities will be taken over by me."

"I will help Yahiko realize his dream, take care of his companions, rebuild the Akatsuki organization, and ultimately I will realize his dream of peace in the ninja world."

Konan was convinced by him and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Nagato. Our lives were earned by Yahiko at his own risk. For his dream, I am willing to sacrifice my own life."

Nagato gritted his teeth and said, "No, Konan. You will not die. I will not allow you to die."

He pointed at his eyes and continued, "According to Jiraiya-sensei, this is the Rinnegan, one of the three major eye techniques in the ninja world. It is far superior to the Uchiha family's Sharingan and the Hyuga family's Byakugan. It is the strongest eye technique in the ninja world, the Kekkei Genkai."

"Teacher Jiraiya said that these eyes are a gift from fate, so I am the child of destiny who can decide the future of the ninja world..."

"I have always believed that the child of destiny is Yahiko, the one who is always cheerful and optimistic, always positive and always has a solution. That is why I concealed the power of these eyes. I wanted to be a supporter behind Yahiko like you."

"But now it seems that I was wrong. I shouldn't have handed over my responsibilities to Yahiko. I should have stood in front and protected you and Yahiko from the wind and rain."

"If I had stood up earlier, Yahiko might not have died."

As he was talking, Nagato unknowingly knelt on the ground, tears all over his face, looking extremely miserable.

Konan walked behind Nagato, hugged his head in her arms, and comforted him: "You can't be blamed. Yahiko is as dazzling as the sun. You, me, and everyone else are attracted to him, so we established the Akatsuki organization in the Hidden Rain Village."

"Nagato, you are you. You are not a replacement for Yahiko."

Nagato nodded and hummed.

He flicked the black pipe behind him, looked at the ground under his feet, and continued: "My body is much better now. As long as I don't use the Outer Golem, I won't have any problems."

"And even if I only rely on the Rinnegan, I have the confidence to destroy all enemies, including Salamander Hanzo."

"Xiao Nan, I won't let you die. I have absolute confidence in protecting you and everyone else."

"So, gather your companions."

"We will rebuild the Akatsuki organization, fight back to the Hidden Rain Village, kill Hanzo, and eliminate the old and corrupt Hidden Rain Ninja."

"Then rebuild a Hidden Rain Village that can protect order and the Land of Rain."

Konan felt Nagato's determination and confidence, she nodded and said, "Okay."

But the work of recruiting Akatsuki's companions could not be completed at all. Although a year had passed since the Konoha ninjas and the Amegakure ninjas jointly ambushed the Akatsuki, the Amegakure ninjas were still searching tirelessly.

Konan's search for a companion had only been going on for less than a day before she was targeted by the Hidden Rain Ninja, which led to a battle.

She killed all the Hidden Rain Ninjas who were tracking her quickly and efficiently, but the Rain Country is the territory of the Hidden Rain Village, and their deaths and the missions they carried out still exposed Konan's existence.

So, Hanzo, who had been severely injured by the Outer Statue a year ago and had finally recovered from his injuries, went out in person.

Upon hearing the news, Xiaonan immediately became nervous.

Konan is very powerful. She is Jiraiya's disciple and a genius in her own paper series of ninjutsu. In terms of strength, she is a true jonin.

But the Jonin cannot face Hanzo at all, because Hanzo is too powerful.

He is a top ninja known as "Demi-God" and the strongest among the Kage-level ninjas.

Hanzo had defeated the Three Ninjas including Jiraiya many times, and even the title of "Three Ninjas of Konoha" was generously "bestowed" by Hanzo.

During the Second Ninja World War, Hanzo of the Salamander single-handedly led the Rain Village ninjas to drive the Hidden Leaf Village, the Sand Village, and the Iwagakure Village out of the Rain Country at the same time.

Even now, he is still the strongest ninja in the hearts of most ninjas, no doubt about it.

Konan, who was already a jonin at the time, was easily captured by Hanzo at first sight and became a hostage to force Yahiko to commit suicide.

As for Hanzo, he was severely injured by the summoned object of the Rinnegan boy in the first encounter, and all his subordinates who were brought to encircle and suppress the Akatsuki organization and Danzo's Anbu were killed.

Hanzo encountered many failures in his life, but those were all strategic failures caused by the strong suppression of the big ninja village.

In terms of ninja strength, Demigod Hanzo is recognized by everyone as the strongest. Even if he is besieged by multiple Kage-level ninjas, it is the greatest success as long as he can withstand his attacks and not be killed.

The Three Ninjas of Konoha became famous in the ninja world because of this.

He was seriously injured by Nagato's attack, which was the first time he was defeated in his life.

He was naturally resentful of the Akatsuki organization and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. His goal was to find Nagato and kill him in order to eliminate this great threat.

Therefore, after hearing the information about Akatsuki's activities, Hanzo personally went out at the first opportunity without caring that the information was not confirmed.

As the undisputed number one in the Rain Country, the influence of Demigod Hanzo’s actions is simply too great.

The members of Akatsuki, whom Konan had tried every means to find, suddenly all knew the news of Akatsuki's resurgence, so they came out from their hiding places one by one and asked around for news.

In this way, the members of Akatsuki were exposed to Hanzo's sight.

The poisonous ninja was overjoyed, and he immediately decided to use a massacre to force out all the members of the Akatsuki organization, especially the young man named Nagato.

The action of the demigod Hanzo was successful.

He captured more than forty members of the Akatsuki organization who had escaped the net, but what shocked him was that among these prisoners were several new members who had joined within the year.

Hanzo had to admit that he might have really made a big mistake, otherwise why would someone, especially a young man, be willing to betray him and join a precarious rebel ninja organization.

Hanzo was also a young man once, and he knew that such a situation would only occur when the lives of young people were too bad, and the situation was more terrible and desperate than going against Hanzo.

This worst situation is of course war. The war between Konoha Village, Sand Village and Iwagakure Village in the Rain Country has made the people of the Rain Country despair.

Hanzo had to secretly decide that after killing Nagato, he must cheer up and protect the Rain Country seriously, and he couldn't continue to be so decadent.

But unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.

Just as Hanzo was warned and looked up at the gate of the Hidden Rain Village, a pair of Rinnegan occupied his entire field of vision.

Then the demigod's consciousness fell into darkness.

Just like what happens in normal history, when Nagato recovers, Hanzo dies.
