The Fourth Hokage, who walked again in the ninja world in the form of a lotus root, did not deliberately conceal his identity among the jonin of Konoha.

Here, the weight of his words is second only to Fang Yan.

The Akatsuki organization, which is employed by the Kumogakure, Sand Village, and Iwagakure ninjas, is hostile to Konoha.

But now, Namikaze Minato used a question to create an atmosphere where both sides could negotiate peacefully.

The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly diluted.

If the leader of these six "Rinnegan holders" emitting a powerful aura is Jiraiya's disciple, then...

Maybe all conflicts can be resolved by sitting down and chatting.

The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, how terrible it was~ Tendo Pain did not respond, nor did he deny it, he just remained silent.

This reaction confirmed his intelligence to Minato Namikaze, who said, "So, you and I are brothers!"

He extended his hand, a friendly smile on his face, "Why don't we put aside our hatred and prejudices and pursue a peaceful and beautiful future together, so that this war-torn ninja world can gain true stability and happiness!"

At this time, Fang Yan had turned around and walked to the spacious terrace.

Here, he can overlook the entire Sand Village.

The terrace is furnished with comfortable sofas and coffee tables, making it a great place to drink tea and chat.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on the desert, and the entire terrace is dyed golden, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

Tendo Pain did not shake hands with Minato Namikaze, nor did he accuse Scorpion and Kakuzu, who once belonged to the Akatsuki organization, of being traitors.

He stared at Fang Yan's back sternly and said in a loud voice: "Those who have not tasted pain personally will never cherish peace!"

This is the belief that Nagato upholds.

An orphan from the Hidden Rain Village during the Second Ninja World War, Nagato was implanted with the Rinnegan by Uchiha Madara when he was young.

He and his partners Yahiko and Konan once aspired to create world peace without relying on extreme force, and Akatsuki gradually grew in strength and fame.

The leader of the Hidden Rain Village at that time, Hanzo, who was known as the "demigod", was bewitched by Shimura Danzo and was afraid that the expansion of their power would threaten his ruling position, so Hanzo deceived them, saying that he wanted to borrow their power to propose peaceful negotiations to the three major countries of Fire, Wind, and Earth.

Like the protagonist of a hot-blooded anime, Yahiko decisively agreed to Hanzo's request.

Later, when Nagato and others arrived at the meeting place, they found that it was a trap - Hanzo colluded with Danzo to ambush at the meeting place, cooperated with Konoha's Anbu, and threatened with the life of Konan who had been captured in advance, so that Nagato killed Yahiko.

For the sake of his companions, Yahiko chose to die.

Since then, Nagato's faith collapsed, and he chose to cooperate with Uchiha Obito, planning to collect the tailed beasts, develop new forbidden techniques, create tailed beast weapons, and gain the power to destroy a country in an instant. He wanted to rely on human fear of those pains to suppress war, guide the world in a painful way, and make the world move towards peace.

As a result, Akatsuki also changed its nature, from a non-extremely violent mercenary organization to a powerful violent organization composed of S-rank rebel ninjas!

Fang Yan didn't even look at Tendo Pain.

He stood on the terrace, holding a cup of juice tea in his hand, his eyes turned and focused on the northeast direction of Sunagakure.

Gazing into the distance, Fang Yan said with a half-smile: "Brother Changmen, your methods are indeed very powerful, but I am better~"

"I understand Akatsuki's principles and ideas better than anyone else, and I highly approve of them."

"But you have to be clear about one thing - your theory is not perfect. It lacks a crucial decisive factor."

"That factor is me, Fang Yan!"

He knew that Nagato, who had pure Uzumaki blood flowing in his veins, could use the black stick and the Rinnegan to fight with the six Pains who were controlling him from behind the scenes.

Even if you go behind one of the Paynes, the other Payne will be watching you.

Six Paths Pain can also use the chakra black rod as a weapon to attack the enemy. Inserting the black rod into the opponent's body can disrupt the opponent's chakra flow, which is a typical [level suppression] type move.

in addition……

The seemingly ordinary Hell Path Pain can even resurrect Pain who died in battle. If used well, this mechanism can be used to carry out the [Fourth Natural Disaster of the Ninja World] plan.

——Although the number of players is bound to be limited, it is indeed an interesting plan that makes Fang Yan excited and is expected to bring considerable profits.

It was different from the scene seen by many Konoha ninjas present.

Fang Yan used the strategic ninjutsu, Eye of Ultra, to directly spy on the area where Nagato was, and saw the true form that the other party wanted to hide.

Because Nagato's foot was injured by the explosive fire array of Salamander Hanzo, and the long-term use of the Outer Path Golem consumed too much chakra, he has basically lost the ability to walk and can only move around in a wheelchair.

Normally, he would hide his chakra so that it could not be detected.

But Fang Yan was tracing the cause from the effect, and from the very beginning, he had been searching for the opponent's real body with all his strength.

The cautious Nagato immediately set off and fled far away.

Inside the mansion in the Sand Village, a square-faced man with the Rinnegan stood in front of Fang Yan.

"Hell~" Fang Yan recognized the other party's code name.

The real body of this man was the leader of an unknown religion that Jiraiya met during his travels. He insisted on teaching people to avoid disasters through prayer in troubled times. After his death, he was sent to hell by Nagato.

Hell Payne clasped his hands together and said in a cold voice: "The King of Hell will make the judgment!"

"——'The key factor that Akatsuki's policy and philosophy lack is the flame'..."

"For the truth!"

Not only can he resurrect other Pains, he also has the ability to distinguish the authenticity of language.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Konoha ninjas moved aside and stood guard in front of Fang Yan.

However, Nagato did not command Six Paths Pain to launch a surprise attack on Fang Yan - he just wanted to test whether Fang Yan had deceived him like he did to Hanzo of the Salamander.

Facts have proved that Fang Yan is not only powerful and thoughtful, but also a sincere person, just as the outside world has generally rumored.

pity……

In a big country, only the daimyo and the shadow have the highest say.

Minato Namikaze, who lacked the desire for power, had been laid off, and the restored Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was the real ruler of Konoha! Not to mention Fang Yan.

Although he holds a high position and great power, he is essentially just a commander who holds military power and fights abroad.

Tendo Pain slowly walked to the door, turned his back to everyone, and said in his usual cold tone: "The Fourth Hokage has become a thing of the past."

"The much-anticipated and highly anticipated Flame Commander has an uncertain future after all."

"You are all very sincere, but you cannot represent the highest will of Konoha!"
