Chapter 216: Nagato Replaced by the Maintainer

It was Uzumaki Nagato who appeared in Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages.

However, unlike the original work, Nagato at this time replaced his legs with a pair of intact legs.

The color of his legs was exactly the same as that of White Zetsu's legs.

In addition, his mental state was much better. Compared with the haggard and thin appearance when the Outer Path Demon Statue drained a lot of chakra at the beginning, his current state can be described as healthy and rosy.

"Scorpion, you know, I was very restrained before. It was really not my intention to destroy Sand Village like this."

Nagato looked at another red-haired boy among the four figures around him and said.

"It's okay, the pain of Sand Village is no longer my pain."

The red-haired boy responded with a smile.

The boy's name is Scorpion, and he has the title of "Red Sand Scorpion".

He is the culprit who provoked the Third Ninja World War.

The fuse of the Third Ninja World War was undoubtedly "the disappearance of the Third Kazekage". This caused the Sand Village to fall into chaos and weakness, and fell into an embarrassing situation of being leaderless. After the surrounding countries learned the information, they took advantage of the situation and opened the prelude to the Third World War.

Of course, the factors that led to the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, in addition to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the actual reason for the war was that the major countries had rested for several years and had recovered from the shadow of World War II.

The purpose of each Ninja World War was essentially for the five major countries to divide the resources of the surrounding small countries and grab the cake of the Fire Country.

As for why Scorpion attacked the Third Kazekage?

Scorpion's parents were killed by Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, in World War II.

But before Scorpion could avenge his parents, Sakumo committed suicide for some reason.

This made Scorpion unable to seek revenge on Sakumo, so he took his anger out on the Third Generation and placed his hatred on the Third Kazekage. Scorpion believed that the Third Kazekage was the village chief of the Sand Village, and that it was the village chief's negligence and incompetence that led to the attack on Konoha, which forced his parents to die.

So, the Third Kazekage was unlucky.

Backstabbed by the grandson of Chiyo, the advisor of Sand Village.

"From the moment I killed the Third Kazekage, I have severed my ties with Sand Village. No matter what the village becomes, my heart will not be disturbed anymore."

The young man said calmly.

Who could have thought that Scorpion of the Red Sand, who would sooner or later become a high-ranking official in the village, would do such a crazy and unreasonable thing as attacking his own village chief?

"Scorpion, I know that you haven't completely let it go, and you still miss your grandmother. But Scorpion, people have to look forward; your art is endless, and art can make you immortal, and even find a way to resurrect your parents.

And the old man's life is coming to an end.

Once you stop, you may not be able to do anything in the end."

Nagato smiled.

"Resurrect parents?"

Is there really such a method in this world?

The young man frowned.

He has not yet completely transformed himself into a human puppet, nor has he made the Scarlet Flow Amber to hide in it. At this time, he is still acting outside as his original body. That is why the puppeteer still has many weaknesses.

"It would be best if I could revive my parents, but it doesn't matter if I can't. Next, I will continue to pursue the ultimate art that you mentioned, leader. In addition, the leader's hell puppet does have something I can learn from; before I met the leader and Xiaonan, my vision was still too shallow."

Speaking of which, he still doesn't understand how he was locked on by the leader in front of him.

He is also confused about how he lost to this leader and joined the Akatsuki organization.

I can only say that this person is too strong!

He is so strong that he is beyond the scope of humans!

If this young leader had appeared in the previous Ninja World War, the final winner would definitely not be the five major countries.

"Leader, is the next one the two-tailed?"

This time, the one who spoke was a figure that looked like a pitcher plant among the four.

His name is Zetsu.

In fact, it is the product of the combination of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

"Well, the next target is the two-tailed beast. But before that, let's gather more like-minded and powerful partners.

Our ultimate goal is to collect the nine tailed beasts, and the tailed beasts are important assets of several major ninja villages, and they are definitely unwilling to give them up. It is possible that all countries will join hands to deal with us for their own Jinchūriki.

The five major countries have ruled this land for too long, and they are deeply rooted. It's easy to deal with a single family, such as the Sand Village; but if the five major countries join forces, it will still be a threat to the survival of our Akatsuki organization."

Nagato grinned.

He was very disdainful of Zetsu, the product of Uchiha Madara's will.

Uchiha Madara's original body was dead, and he thought that leaving a product of his will could still control the situation? The original body was able to get rid of control, so how could he, as a maintainer, be led by a product of his will?

What is the biggest advantage of a maintainer?

One is the memory of the trial of the original body in the past.

The other is the experience accumulated from performing maintenance tasks many times, which is foresight.

He knew that Akatsuki could almost influence the war between major powers during its heyday. The original body of this body, at its peak, almost razed the strongest ninja village, Konoha Village, to the ground. It was a pity that he was persuaded by the son of luck, otherwise the world would have been nuclearized.

If every big ninja village launches a Super Shinra Tensei, it will be hard not to have peace.

In addition, Uchiha Obito, a mere 14-year-old aboriginal kid, actually wants to control him like Zetsu?

Humph, naive.

"Nagato, are you really not considering the plan proposed by Madara before?"

Konan, one of the four, asked softly at this time.

"No, money is just a currency. We spend a lot of time accumulating money and it is a pure waste of our energy."

When Nagato thought of this woman's wasteful behavior in similar copies, he was furious.

The initial plan of the Akatsuki organization was:

The first step is to gather a lot of money to prepare for the future.

The second step is to establish a neutral mercenary organization that does not belong to any country, provoke some small wars, first monopolize the war commissions of small countries at a low price, then increase the scale of the war, and then break the ninja system of big countries (destroy the economy), and finally monopolize all wars. This is actually similar to the way the five major ninja villages divide the cake.

The third step is to conquer the world with the tailed beast weapons.

Look, what a good plan.

It is obvious that you can go directly to the third step, but you have to go through the first two steps.

The key is that all the money was taken by this wasteful woman to build the Rain Village and buy detonating talismans.

The infrastructure of Rain Village is well built. Its pipe network system is dozens of blocks ahead of the five major ninja villages, and even the daimyo of the five major countries can't catch up. But what's the matter with buying hundreds of billions of detonating talismans? I've never seen such a waste.

The head of Sarutobi Asuma is only worth 35 million. Do you know how many Sarutobi Asumas the members of the organization have to hunt outside to raise funds to buy hundreds of billions of detonating talismans?

So many detonating talismans, thrown randomly over the major ninja villages, can blow up the five major villages several times.

The result?

Only heard a ten-minute sound.

All wasted on Uchiha Obito.

The annoying thing is that he didn't blow him to death.

How dare he let Xiaonan be the financial officer when he was so wasteful? Just be his secretary.

As for the Akatsuki organization's plan to collect money at the beginning?

Ha.

What a joke.

This is clearly a trick that Uchiha Obito, the 14-year-old kid, used to buy himself time to grow up!

At this time, Obito was only 14 and a half years old, and he didn't have the strength of Uchiha Madara to sweep everything.

Therefore, the seemingly reasonable but actually quite ridiculous "Ten-Year Plan" of the Akatsuki Organization was proposed.

How strong could Obito be at the age of 14?

But Obito at the age of 24 was really a bit unsolvable.

Therefore, why did he wait for Obito to grow up many years later before taking action? Why did he still follow the script of that kid? He was not the brainless original.

With the Outer Path Demon Statue and the Samsara Eye in hand, I will play a ghost economic war with you!

Isn't it good to sweep across the country?

It does take a lot of chakra and vitality to activate the Samsara Eye and the Outer Path Demon Statue, but he has White Zetsu.

White Zetsu can absorb the vitality and chakra of others and pass them to him.

With the two together, he is a perpetual motion machine.

The power of the Animal Realm summoned various beasts to create chaos, while the main body used the Shinra Tensei to repel all scattered attacks, and the Tensei captured ninjas one by one. The White Zetsu spores quickly extracted the chakra of these captured Sand Ninjas and transferred it to him.

The Sand Village was easily conquered in this way.

Fight to support the war.

The more you fight, the stronger you become.

If the power of the Samsara Eye had not been fully developed by him, he would have wanted to go to Konoha to launch a Super Shinra Tensei in his excellent condition to tell the world that the true ninja god has arrived.

The new trialists of the mission target?

Just a bunch of small shrimps.

Just wait to die.

On the side.

Although Konan and Black Zetsu didn't know why Nagato's temperament changed so much, they subconsciously thought of Yahiko's death.

'Yahiko's death really changed Nagato a lot. '

Konan thought so.

If it were a few years later, if Nagato had such a huge change, she would definitely notice something wrong.

But now it's different.

She still feels deeply guilty, blaming herself for Yahiko's death, how could she suspect that Nagato was replaced by someone else?

"There is definitely something wrong with this Nagato."

The cunning Black Zetsu realized this a long time ago.

But he pretended to know nothing.

Originally, he was acting with Obito. When Obito went to Konoha to cause trouble, he left him to monitor Nagato and Konan. Unexpectedly, as soon as Obito left and went to Konoha, Nagato seemed to have changed.

He caught him with the trick of the Samsara Eye at the first time.

Then he cut off the legs of his White Zetsu carrier.

Then he replaced them for himself very skillfully.

Since then, Uzumaki Nagato has gotten rid of the limitation of his disabled legs, and has also obtained the ability of the White Zetsu body strengthened by Hashirama's cells. Now, relying on the repair ability of the White Zetsu's body, he pulled out the chakra black sticks on his back that originally pierced his internal organs one by one.

At present, Nagato, except for not having the Uchiha bloodline, has mastered the physical and eye abilities of the Rinnegan, Thousand Hands, and Whirlpool.

This kind of weird operation surprised and delighted Black Zetsu.

It feels like all the spokespeople that Uchiha Madara has found are talented.

It feels like Uchiha Madara will never live again in this life.

It feels like that guy who thinks he can control other people's lives and dance at will, everything he left behind will be used as a wedding dress for others.

He dare not imagine how high Nagato can reach after obtaining Hashirama's cells and White Zetsu's abilities.

At this time, Nagato is only 19 years old.
