Chương 80: The Death Of Nagato Uzumaki
Naruto had temporarily escaped being consumed by the Nine-Tails, but Kaguya immediately thought of another serious problem—Naruto had not yet learned Sage Mode. If he went over there now, he would just be sending himself to his death. If this guy died, she would lose a powerful ally in the future.
"Which direction did they go?" Kaguya walked over and hurriedly asked.
Tendo Pain, also known as Nagato Uzumaki, possibly didn't fully trust her, so she didn't know the exact location of Nagato's real body.
"They went to that tall tower over there." Kakashi pointed to a tall black tower in the distance.
Before Kakashi finished speaking, Kaguya was already rushing towards the tower like a whirlwind. She felt that she might have overplayed her hand. After all, Naruto was still weak and hadn't learned Sage Mode. Moreover, Nagato hadn't used his Super Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha yet, so his body was still in relatively good condition. Even if Naruto's small universe exploded, he would not be a match for Nagato Uzumaki.
But when Kaguya arrived at the tower and saw the situation before her, she was stunned.
"I am your senior. Since we share the same master, we should understand each other. I once said those words as a joke. You are truly an incredible guy, reminding me of my former self." Nagato said in a deep voice.
"Nagato," Konan muttered, staring at him.
"I did not believe in what Jiraiya believed in. No, I didn't even believe in myself," Nagato sighed, "However, I have a premonition that you will walk a different path than mine. I'll try to believe in you."
Oh my god, it seems Nagato was actually persuaded by Naruto's talk no jutsu.
Indeed, in the world of Naruto, techniques like Chibaku Tensei and Super Shinra Tensei are weak compared to Naruto's talk no jutsu.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. Next to Nagato, Konan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the space behind Nagato suddenly distorted, and an iron rod shot out from the darkness, piercing towards Nagato's heart like lightning.
"No!" Kaguya, hiding in the distance, was shocked. She dashed towards Nagato like an arrow.
Nagato's pupils contracted; he had sensed the danger. He turned around quickly and raised his arm.
"Shinra Tensei."
A strong repulsive force erupted from his palm, aiming at the figure behind him. But the figure's form twisted, seemingly unaffected.
"What?"
Blood splattered.
In the spray of blood, Nagato's chest was pierced by the iron rod. The tip of the rod protruded from his chest, stained red, with blood dripping down.
Nagato coughed a few times, blood seeping through his fingers. He turned back with difficulty and said, "It's you."
The attacker was a man wearing a cloak embroidered with red clouds and an orange spiral mask. This person was Tobi, or more precisely, Obito Uchiha.
Nagato's Shinra Tensei hadn't hit Obito because the earlier battle with Naruto had consumed a lot of his chakra, and his body was already damaged. Additionally, his real body being confined to the device slowed his actions. What he hadn't anticipated was that Tobi would attack him.
"Paper Shuriken."
Konan shouted, launching numerous paper sheets from her hands, which folded into arrow shapes in the air, attacking the masked man.
The flying paper shuriken didn't hit Obito but passed through his body, clattering onto the ground.
"Don't waste your efforts," Obito said in a deep voice, "You can't defeat me."
Before Obito could finish his sentence, a delicate white fist slammed into his face, instantly shattering his mask and sending blood flying. He tumbled through the air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant wall, causing it to crack and shatter.
"How is this possible?" Obito staggered to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't understand how Kaguya had managed to hit him.
What he didn't know was that Kaguya had begun to develop her ability to manipulate space. She had concentrated spatial power in her fist, preventing Obito from entering his dimensional space.
However, Kaguya didn't pursue him further. Instead, she ran straight to Nagato, pressing her hand against his wound. Blood instantly stained her pristine hand a bright red.
"Nagato!" Konan also hurried over, calling out anxiously.
"Why are you doing this?" Naruto shouted at Obito in anger, "Aren't you comrades?"
"A comrade? He's just a deceived traitor," Obito said coldly, "Someone like him has no right to live in this world."
"Bastard!" Naruto roared, clenching his fists as he charged towards Obito.
"Kaguya, I will be waiting for you," Obito said, looking meaningfully at Kaguya.
The space around him suddenly twisted, and his body gradually disappeared into the air.
Kaguya ignored him, standing by Nagato, pressing her hand against his chest wound with a serious expression. Nagato's heart had been completely pierced, and blood kept flowing out. Even if Tsunade were here...
"Don't waste your efforts," Nagato coughed, blood dripping from between his fingers.
Konan's face was filled with sorrow, and Kaguya felt a heavy weight in her heart. Although she didn't like Nagato, after spending so much time together, she had developed a bit of camaraderie. Besides, in her plans, she never intended for Nagato to die.
"Damn it," Naruto said, walking over with clenched fists, "He got away."
When he saw Kaguya, he hesitated, a complex expression on his face. He seemed unsure of how to deal with Kaguya, the person who had killed his teacher.
"Naruto," Nagato, lying on the ground, said weakly, "Don't blame Kaguya. She didn't kill Jiraiya."
"What?" Naruto was stunned, looking confusedly at Kaguya.
"It was just a trick," Nagato said with a faint smile, "I've always treated her like a little sister. How could I not know her little tricks?" He coughed a few more times.
Not only was Naruto dumbfounded, but Kaguya was also taken aback, her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Nagato knew about your actions all along," Konan said softly, holding Kaguya's hand, "But he never blamed you."
Kaguya's pupils contracted, and she looked at Nagato, the person she had once hated, with mixed emotions.
"You..." Kaguya's lips trembled, her nose tingling, "Don't die."
Perhaps because she had defined him as an enemy, she had intentionally ignored Nagato's care and concern. Now that she thought about it, Nagato had never blamed her, never sent her on dangerous missions, and had secretly protected her during conflicts within the Akatsuki, even though it had caused dissatisfaction among other members.
The person she had seen as an enemy had, in reality, been like a big brother, protecting her as his little sister. This painful realization felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Hearing her words, Nagato was momentarily stunned. He looked at Kaguya and, for the first time in a long while, smiled faintly before slowly closing his eyes.
