During the conversation, Naruto successfully persuaded Nagato with his talk-no-jutsu, and Hades was successfully summoned to the ruins of Konoha. Nagato even sacrificed his own life to revive those who died in the battle.
"It seems Naruto has successfully persuaded Nagato, and Kakashi and the others have returned!" Tianqi shook his head, having to admit that talk-no-jutsu is the most powerful ninjutsu in the Naruto world.
"Nagato? Grandpa, do you mean the leader of Akatsuki is named Nagato?" Itachi asked in surprise upon hearing the name Nagato, as it was the first time he had ever heard this name.
"Yes, the founder and leader of Akatsuki was Yahiko, the leader you usually see. However, Yahiko was also killed by Hanzo and Danzo. The death of his friend Yahiko also caused the second leader, Nagato Uzumaki, to unleash the power of the Rinnegan. With the power of the Rinnegan, Nagato eliminated Hanzo, who was known as the 'Half-King,' and cleared away obstacles to unify Amegakure and become the highest ruler there!" As he spoke, Tianqi glanced at Tsunade, who was lost in thought.
As Tsunade listened to Tianqi's words, she thought of the three brats she had encountered in the Land of Rain many years ago, the three disciples of Jiraiya. After learning their identities, she understood everything.
"The Akatsuki was founded with the intention of changing the ninja world and creating a peaceful environment without war. Unfortunately, since Yahiko's death, Nagato has gradually deviated from the original intention under some influences. Although it is still for the peace of the ninja world, it has to achieve it through powerful force. Tsunade, do you think the Akatsuki is right or wrong?"
"If they could stick to their original intention and wholeheartedly bring peace to the ninja world, that would be right. But as for now, from my perspective, they have actually made a mistake. At least that's what I think..." Tsunade hesitated for a moment before finally expressing her opinion.
“What you said makes sense, but we don’t really have the right to judge others’ right or wrong. You can’t advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. They are all children who have been persecuted by war. If we were in their situation, we would do better than them in the future!” Tianqi shook his head and spoke his mind.
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent. Tianqi was right; people living in large villages could hardly understand those in small villages, those who lived in the cracks.
"If Jiraiya had known that his students were like this, perhaps he wouldn't have..." Tsunade's expression turned somewhat lost as she thought of the deceased Jiraiya, after all, they had been partners for decades.
"All encounters in this world are predestined. The beginning and end of a relationship, the gathering and scattering of relationships, are all the will of Heaven. If Jiraiya hadn't known that it was his disciple, he might have escaped. It was precisely because he knew that it was his disciple that he couldn't get out. It's all the will of Heaven!"
After the Pain incident, Tsunade stayed at home and was unable to get out of bed or handle anything. Many important figures came to visit her and offered their condolences. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire also sent someone to show his concern. Of course, the happiest person among them was Danzo.
Seeing that Tsunade had been dealt with by Tianqi, Danzo began to use his connections to persuade the Daimyo and the village's higher-ups, and barely managed to take the position of acting Hokage.
Meanwhile, Konoha Village slowly began its reconstruction, and Tianqi was summoned to the Hokage Building by Danzo.
Tianqi looked at Danzo, who was sitting happily in the Hokage's seat, and said calmly, "How about it? Are you satisfied this time?"
"I've worked hard for decades to finally sit here. Tell me, am I satisfied or not? Even though it's just an acting position, it's enough!" He was also very satisfied with acting as the Hokage Danzo. After all, acting as the Hokage still makes him the Hokage.
"As long as you're satisfied, that's fine. By the way, why did you call me here?"
"Don't you know why I called you here? Look at Konoha right now, it's in a time of great need for reconstruction. Everyone is working on rebuilding. How can you just stay at home like that?"
"What's so unreasonable about it? As long as there are people to do the reconstruction work, that's fine. Besides, didn't the Daimyo allocate a large sum of funds to Konoha Village for recovery a few days ago? With people and money, the reconstruction work shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
“Even with money and manpower, restoring Konoha will take time. With your help, I believe the recovery speed will definitely be faster. Why don’t you want to help?” Danzo said, squinting his eyes. For some reason, he was increasingly tempted to use that power.
"Hmm... I can help, but it's not cheap for me to appear. Do you have the money?" Tianqi looked Danzo up and down as if he were a poor wretch.
"You really don't want to suffer even the slightest loss, do you? I really don't know why you've become so materialistic. Tell me, how much do you want this time?"
"Hey, I won't talk about money, I'll only talk about yuan. I'll only accept one hundred million yuan!" Tianqi said, holding up one finger.
"One hundred million! You might as well rob someone! No way, I'm just helping out, this price is too high, absolutely not!"
"Don't get excited. Although I asked for a high price, I only need one day to restore Konoha Village. I mean a complete restoration. Compared to spending over a billion to restore it, my one hundred million is not much, is it?"
"Hmm... if that's the case, then it's indeed not expensive, but are you sure you can really recover in one day? I have serious doubts about that!" Danzo trusted Tianqi's strength, but he was very skeptical about repairing buildings.
"Don't doubt it, I won't say anything I can't do. As long as you have the money, I can give you a perfectly good village in no time. This kind of achievement is rare!"
"Alright, since you're so confident, I'll believe you. Besides, one hundred million isn't much to me!" Seeing Tianqi's confidence, Danzo immediately agreed and then had one hundred million yuan sent to Tianqi.
With the money in place, Tianqi went to the ruins to check on the recovery of Konoha Village.
As soon as they arrived at an open space, they saw a Jonin named Yamato using Wood Release to build several wooden houses and panting heavily.
"It's been several days and you've only built this many houses? Your efficiency is too slow!"
"Lord Tianqi, we are already among the fastest recovering of the five great nations. If it weren't for Yamato, we wouldn't even be able to build these few houses!" Kakashi explained.
"Enough with the explanations. Your acting Hokage, Danzo, has entrusted me with the task of restoring the village. Now, get everyone out of here immediately!"
"Huh? Get them out? Get them out of there?" Kakashi and the others asked, looking puzzled.
"Where should we clear it? Of course, we should clear it out of Konoha Village. Why do I have to do such a small thing myself?"
"Lord Tianqi, suddenly driving ordinary people out is no small matter. The villagers will definitely resist!" Yamato said cautiously.
