====

Defending against Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village, pursuing Nagato and Konan, and recalling Danzō were the main tasks.

Although Danzō had no official position since stepping down from his advisory role, he was still a Jonin of the village, representing Konoha in his actions.

The main issue was his failed schemes, which had brought a powerful enemy to Konoha's doorstep.

If Danzō had acted discreetly, like Yoichi, who secretly acquired a Shikotsumyaku and an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai users without being discovered, Sakumo might have overlooked it.

Yoichi had brought valuable information and achieved numerous merits for the village, while Danzō's actions were foolish, allying with Hanzo and taking part of the blame. If Konoha's ninjas acted like Danzō, the village would eventually face the wrath of the entire ninja world.

Deploying six Anbu squads, ten Jonin squads, and a Sannin was a significant measure, given the partial intelligence they had on the Rinnegan.

Anbu members were at least Chunin, and usually only exceptional Chunin made it in. Squad leaders were undoubtedly Jonin-level.

The ten Jonin squads included no Genin, meaning Konoha had dispatched a total of forty-eight Chunin, sixteen Jonin, and a Kage-level ninja, Jiraiya, to capture Nagato.

This force was enough to wage a small war. Sakumo, having learned about the Rinnegan's capabilities, chose to be cautious by sending so many ninjas.

The only challenge was that Akatsuki was based in the Hidden Rain Village. Sending so many ninjas there would likely anger and provoke Hanzo.

However, Sakumo had prepared for this, combining negotiation and intimidation. Konoha needed the Hidden Rain Village, but Hanzo needed Konoha more, especially for maintaining his gains in the Land of Rivers.

The meeting lasted almost the entire morning before it adjourned.

Afterward, Jiraiya returned to rest, though he was nearly healed and set to depart the next day. The personnel configurations were discussed, including combat, tracking, and medical support.

They had considered the characteristics of the Rinnegan's techniques and selected ninja squads accordingly.

Hiruzen, Koharu, and Homura couldn't contribute to the discussion. Sakumo's resolve was too firm.

Their influence in the village was waning, and they couldn't protest through strikes, as that would leave them with nothing to do.

Hiruzen's priority was to ensure Danzō's return. His subordinates included not only Root members but also the Sarutobi clan's ninjas.

The Shimura clan remained in the village, and if Danzō defected, the clan would face severe scrutiny from the security forces.

Returning to his clan, Yoichi felt the situation spiraling out of control, though he wasn't too concerned. If Akatsuki was eliminated, he could personally capture the tailed beasts. Within two years, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan would reach its peak, making wild tailed beasts trivial opponents.

Capturing Jinchūriki would be more challenging, requiring initial subjugation.

Wars with other ninja villages would likely ensue while collecting tailed beasts. Before that, Yoichi aimed to strengthen his village, particularly the Uchiha clan.

Spreading the Sage Seal and researching the Extremis virus were priorities.

An ordinary Genin with these enhancements could rival an elite Chunin, while a Jonin could contend with Kage-level ninjas. The Uchiha clan also had medicinal support, making battlefield transformations routine.

With a Rinnegan enemy in Konoha, the village's new Ninja Park was opening, attracting many visitors. Families with some wealth were traveling to enjoy the park.

While building the park, Yoichi also developed nearby food and lodging facilities, creating a commercial area capable of hosting thousands of visitors.

The park had two entrances, one from Konoha and one from the outside, allowing villagers to bring their children for ninja-themed activities.

The park's opening acted as a magnet, drawing people from other parts of the Land of Fire to Konoha. Even before the park's opening, many applied to move to Konoha. Over time, the population could exceed 100,000.

"This is a modern city."

Yoichi watched the bustling crowds with satisfaction. Konoha still had many dilapidated houses, contrasting sharply with the village's technological progress.

It was as if they anticipated future destruction, avoiding renovations altogether.

"What did you say?"

Yugito, the girl accompanying him, asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Nothing. Enjoy yourself today. Let me know if there's anything unsatisfactory."

Yoichi patted her head.

"Don't mess with a girl's hair, you pervert!"

Yugito protested but didn't pull away, almost rubbing her head against his hand.

'He likes to pat people's heads so much. Fine, with so many people around, I'll humor him.'

Hearing her thoughts, Yoichi laughed and ruffled her hair, provoking a playful protest from Yugito.

'Maybe we can build some factories near Konoha and lay train tracks.'

Yoichi pondered future development while viewing Konoha from a high vantage point. The contrast between the modernizing Uchiha district and the old, rundown village was stark.

"This is my Konoha, but it still needs improvement."

"Obito, things are looking bad. Konoha has sent many ninjas to pursue Akatsuki."

White Zetsu emerged beside Obito, grumbling, "We should have killed Jiraiya. Now even Nagato might be in danger."

Obito replied coldly, "Nagato won't be in danger with me around. Stop whining and give me the intel."

Zetsu internally grumbled but reported, "Jiraiya's injuries are healed. Konoha knows about Nagato and has sent sixty-five ninjas, all Chunin or higher."

"Sixty-plus..."

Obito fell silent, knowing the force likely included many Jonin alongside Jiraiya and the leaked Rinnegan intel.

"What will you do?" Zetsu asked.

"Let's see Nagato. He's just mastered the Six Paths' power and plans to use himself as the Outer Path."

After some thought, Obito said, "You will come with me to inform Nagato."

"Understood!"

...

They arrived to find Nagato preparing a body for the Six Paths of Pain.

"It seems you've mastered the Six Paths' power and are ready to create clones. But the enemy won't give you time."

Obito's voice, mimicking Madara, reached Nagato as he emerged from the Kamui space.

Seeing Nagato and Konan's puzzled expressions, Obito continued, "Last time you spared Jiraiya. Now he's bringing more people to capture you and take the Rinnegan to Konoha."

Nagato felt a surge of frustration. He hadn't wanted to kill Jiraiya but now faced a greater threat.

"Tell them, Zetsu."

Zetsu explained, "Jiraiya leads sixty-four others, including twenty-four Anbu. They left Konoha yesterday and should be near the Land of Rain."

Obito asked, "What will you do? My suggestion is to avoid them. Jiraiya knows your abilities and will likely succeed in capturing you."

Konan, in disbelief, said, "Jiraiya-sensei would never capture us. He's our teacher and once..."

"Took care of you for three years, right? Yes, he's a good person but responsible for Konoha."

Zetsu shrugged, "Without Nagato's Rinnegan, he wouldn't have taught you ninjutsu. Children aren't that valuable to him."

Nagato and Konan fell silent. Yahiko had desperately wanted to learn from Jiraiya, who only agreed after seeing Nagato's Rinnegan power.

"Should we leave?" Konan asked.

"It's up to you. Our goal is to protect the Rinnegan and guide you to use its power for world peace."

Zetsu felt Obito's manipulation was increasingly like Madara's. Madara must have taught him how to influence Nagato.

"I'll stay. This is where Yahiko's dream of peace can be realized. Running would mean abandoning that dream."

Nagato decided, letting his gratitude to Jiraiya be overshadowed by hatred. He had spared Jiraiya, wanting no further ties, but now faced capture by Konoha ninjas.

"So, have that creature assist me."

"How rude, I have a name. Call me Tobi."

Tobi emerged from behind a pillar, annoyed at being called a creature.

"Use it as you see fit," Obito said. "Before Jiraiya finds you, you can create one more Pain body. With an extra body, your strength increases significantly."

The Six Paths of Pain were essentially six corpse clones, each wielding part of the Rinnegan's power, controlled by Nagato's chakra through black rods.

With a Deva Path body, Nagato and the clone could effectively resist Konoha's ninjas.

"I understand."

Nagato intended to use Yahiko's body for the Deva Path but decided to do so now, to settle things with Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sama, we've entered the Land of Rain. Where should we search?"

A Hyūga clan Jonin asked. His team was the only scouting unit, including members from the Yamanaka, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans.

In the rainy environment, the abilities of the Inuzuka and Aburame were limited unless the rain stopped.

"I know a few towns where Akatsuki members often appear. We'll split into four squads, keeping within two kilometers of each other. Signal immediately if you find anything."

Though reluctant to fight his students, Jiraiya had to follow village orders.

After giving instructions, the squads set out.

The Akatsuki had been a significant presence in the Land of Rain, leaving traces behind. They also had the option of using genjutsu on civilians to gather information, unlike Jiraiya's previous moral restraint.

Disguised, Jiraiya's team quickly gathered intel. They found civilians aided by Akatsuki and captured a ninja who had recently left the organization.

As they prepared to contact the Yamanaka member, explosions rang out, followed by a signal flare in the sky.

"Found something!"

Jiraiya and the other squads rushed toward the flare.

"Yahiko?"

Jiraiya, using Body Flicker, was the first to arrive, shocked to see another student.

"What's going on? Yahiko, why are you alive and why do you have the Rinnegan?"

"Such a nuisance, Jiraiya-sensei."

The Deva Path clone coldly said, "I told you last time not to seek us out."

With that, the Deva Path clone raised its hand, and to Jiraiya's shock, said,

"Shinra Tensei!"

====

A powerful repulsive force exploded like a nuclear blast, instantly sending the surrounding Konoha ninjas flying.

The ground cracked, forming a deep crater. This time, Nagato held nothing back, unleashing a force that extended over a hundred meters. Despite Jiraiya and his team's quick reactions and signals, they were thrown back by the initial shockwave.

Having used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path only once, Nagato's body wasn't as frail as it would be in later years. His real body was also covered by Tobi, providing additional strength.

"That bastard, did he hold back last time?"

Though Jiraiya had braced himself, the impact left him sore all over. He forced himself to stand and immediately relayed orders: "Execute the plan as discussed!"

Though he didn't understand why Yahiko had Nagato's Rinnegan, the clear hostility couldn't be ignored.

"Seeing my student walk down a dark path, I can't just stand by!"

Jiraiya quickly regrouped with his team, forming a battle formation. Two squads simultaneously performed hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

The combined might of these jutsus, with wind fueling the fire, and continuous earth projectiles, created a devastating attack.

On the other side, several ninjas threw shuriken and kunai, leaving no room for the Deva Path clone to dodge.

"Shinra Tensei."

The immense repulsive force deflected all incoming attacks once again.

"Now!"

Inuzuka clan members and two other Konoha ninjas used chakra to anchor themselves, resisting the force and immediately attacking once the repulsion subsided.

"Fang Over Fang!"

"Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Willow Leaf Cut."

"Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

Two whirlwind-like attacks surged towards the Deva Path clone.

Knowing that Shinra Tensei had a cooldown period, the clone used Banshō Ten'in to pull a massive boulder from the ground, using its tremendous gravitational force.

A scouting ninja from afar noticed this and confirmed that the repulsive technique had a cooldown period, making the clone rely on other methods to defend against the trio's assault.

Fang Over Fang shattered the boulder, slowing their charge. The Deva Path clone leapt into the air, evading the attack.

Two Konoha ninjas seized the opportunity, leaping towards the clone.

Suddenly, the clone flicked its hands, sending several black rods at them.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The ninjas deflected the rods with their swords, but the clone raised its hands again.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The repulsive force struck again, sending the three Konoha ninjas flying. Two were hit mid-air, as if struck by a giant hammer, crashing to the ground heavily.

The Deva Path clone, with black rods extending from its hands, targeted the two severely injured Konoha ninjas.

"Yūgao..."

"Morino!"

The two, barely lifting themselves, were impaled by the rods.

From a distance, Zetsu and Tobi appeared as the Konoha ninjas surrounded the Deva Path clone.

"Nagato has quickly mastered the Rinnegan, using the Deva Path's power so skillfully after summoning the Demonic Statue."

Zetsu remarked, "And with Tobi's help, it seems these Konoha ninjas will struggle to capture him."

"Nagato isn't fully prepared yet. The Sage of Six Paths' eyes..."

Tobi, having been taught the Six Paths techniques and Yin-Yang Release by Madara, slowly grasped the Rinnegan's power while training Nagato.

The Six Paths of Pain, shared vision, control over large summons with the Animal Path, firepower from the Asura Path, and chakra absorption with the Preta Path were formidable. If Nagato's legs weren't crippled, he'd be a significant threat to the Five Kage.

"But it seems Konoha is probing the Deva Path's abilities. They might soon figure out its limitations. Is this okay?"

"Let them. As long as he doesn't die, Nagato will continue to rely on us. His true power lies in his real body, not the clones."

Tobi observed calmly, "The more Konoha injures him, the more Nagato will depend on us."

"Indeed, better to let him master the Rinnegan fully."

Zetsu agreed. This was also Black Zetsu's plan. Nagato had only begun mastering the Six Paths. The Outer Path's Samsara of Heavenly Life was still beyond his reach.

Mastering the Rinnegan further would allow Black Zetsu to control Nagato and use the Samsara of Heavenly Life to resurrect Madara.

Although plans might change, Madara's revival would make him unbeatable, and collecting the tailed beasts would become easy.

"Long time no see, Danzō. You finally decided to return."

At Konoha's gate, Yoichi looked at Danzō with a hint of regret, wishing Danzō had become a rogue ninja so the security forces could justifiably eliminate Root.

Yoichi waved his hand, and the security team surrounded Danzō's twenty-plus subordinates, preparing to apply sealing techniques.

Several Sarutobi clan members resisted, saying, "What are you doing? We're Konoha ninjas."

"Ninjas who leave the village without the Hokage's approval, bringing a great enemy to our doorstep, and you dare resist?"

Yoichi ordered coldly, "Kill anyone who resists!"

Hearing Yoichi's icy tone, the Sarutobi clan members felt a chilling killing intent, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Seal them and put them in prison."

Danzō remained silent, and Yoichi found it boring, having the security team take them away.

Returning to the Hokage office, Yoichi saw Hiruzen leaving, looking unsuccessful.

"Third Hokage."

"Yoichi, go ahead. I have some matters to attend to."

Hiruzen forced a smile and left. Since stepping down as Hokage, he had no real power.

Sakumo had given the advisory role to Yoichi and hadn't appointed Hiruzen as an elder, leaving him with no authority except for two remaining Anbu squads.

In the Hokage office, Sakumo asked, "Have they returned?"

"Yes, they're likely sealed and in prison by now."

"Prison, huh..."

Sakumo paused, "Isn't that a bit harsh?"

"He's a regular ninja who caused such trouble for the village. Not putting him under interrogation is already lenient."

Yoichi shook his head, "Danzō planned to rebuild Root in the Land of Bears and Demons. The Rinnegan's interference halted his plan. Do you think he was acting for Konoha's benefit?"

"Really?"

Sakumo frowned, surprised by this information. If true, Danzō deserved worse.

"Let the interrogation team question his subordinates, but remove the Cursed Tongue Seal. Establishing a Root base in the Land of Bears requires extensive preparation."

Yoichi then asked, "Fourth Hokage, what did the Third Hokage want?"

"He wanted me to lift the restrictions on Danzō and his men. I refused. Let's not discuss that. We've had many applications to settle in Konoha, but the village is full. Let's talk about expanding the residential areas."

Sakumo brought out Yoichi's previous proposal.

Rebuilding civilian houses into five- or six-story buildings and constructing new residential and commercial areas above the Hokage Rock could accommodate thousands more.

Yoichi had brought forth a plan similar to what was developed in Boruto's time, moving training grounds further away and redeveloping the area.

The two discussed the expansion. With proper investigation, new residents would be welcomed, boosting the village's economy through increased commerce and taxes.

Once agreed, the construction teams could start, with the barrier team adjusting security measures. Surveillance had already eased patrol duties for the security forces.

In the Land of Rain, the battle raged on, with Konoha corpses piling up and Nagato's Deva Path clone destroyed.

As Jiraiya and his team relaxed slightly, Nagato's real body re-entered the battlefield, plunging them back into intense combat.

However, Konoha had gathered extensive intel on the Rinnegan's abilities, including the five-second interval between repulsive and attractive forces.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The force sent three Konoha ninjas flying, but one managed to call out, "Jiraiya-sama!"

"Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!"

"Binding Tongue War!"

"Ninja Art: Thousand Needles of Death."

Three attacks targeted Nagato. Jiraiya, in Sage Mode, had summoned the two Great Toad Sages.

The Binding Tongue War would ensnare Nagato if he used the absorption technique, allowing the needles to hit him.

These attacks were timed during the interval between repulsive forces.

"Damn..."

Boom!

The Rasengan hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Sensing he missed, Jiraiya leapt back, shouting, "Who's there?"

A new chakra had appeared beside Nagato.

"Impressive, Konoha's Sannin."

Space distorted as Tobi and Nagato reappeared before the Konoha ninjas.

"You won't take Nagato today. After this long fight, it's time for us to leave."

"But Yahiko's body is still there!"

Nagato interrupted, but Tobi said, "You still have chakra, but continuing is dangerous, and my possession time is nearly up."

The time limit was a lie. Tobi simply saw no quick victory against Jiraiya, and Konoha reinforcements were approaching.

"The body is less important than you. With Konoha reinforcements coming..."

Nagato, hearing this, fell silent. Tobi then absorbed him into the Kamui dimension.

"Damn it, don't think you can escape!"

Jiraiya performed hand seals, "Boss, Ma'am, wind and fire!"

"Sage Art: Five Right Guard Gates!"

Wind, fire, and oil combined, engulfing Tobi, but he vanished into the Kamui dimension.

The area was set ablaze, but the enemies were gone.
