Chapter 105.2: The Power of Persuasion!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Katsuyu released everyone she had protected, but Tsunade had also exhausted her chakra. Despite the effects of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, she didn't appear old, but she was still very weak and unable to continue fighting.

Jiraiya was also severely injured.

Fortunately, Tendo Pain could only use the Super Shinra Tensei once.

Subsequently, Naruto and Jiraiya teamed up to fight Tendo Pain. Jiraiya sacrificed an arm, and with Naruto's Sage Art: Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken, they ultimately destroyed Tendo Pain.

However, to create an opportunity for Naruto, Jiraiya exhausted all his chakra and was unable to continue fighting.

"Naruto, it's up to you now!"

Jiraiya said.

"Yeah!"

Naruto used the black rod to pierce his own body, quickly locating Nagato's position, and rushed straight there.

"Naruto is coming!"

Nagato said weakly.

"I'll stop him!"

Konan said, knowing that her strength was still formidable and that she was capable of fighting.

However, when Naruto arrived and started speaking, the anger and killing intent in Nagato's heart suddenly disappeared. He allowed Naruto to keep talking and even stopped Konan from taking action.

Konan was taken aback.

"Talk no Jutsu?"

Konan quickly realized the terrifying power of Talk no Jutsu, as even someone with Nagato's unwavering resolve was swayed by Naruto's words.

Wasn't Nagato supposed to stop Naruto from talking? Wasn't he supposed to be immune to Talk no Jutsu?

"Is this Talk no Jutsu?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.

However, he felt that Talk no Jutsu was essentially a power bestowed by the will of the world, a manifestation of the protagonist's aura. Nagato, strictly speaking, didn't lose to Naruto's Talk no Jutsu but to the will of the world.

The will of the world wanted Nagato to lose, and unless he could break free from the restrictions of the world's rules, it would be difficult for him to win.

Of course, Talk no Jutsu had no effect on him and only worked on specific people.

People like Nagato and Obito!

Before long, Nagato's resolve was completely shaken by Naruto, and he abandoned his plan to capture the Nine-Tails.

This attack on Konoha didn't cause much damage, and Nagato didn't foolishly use the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive the few people who had died.

"Naruto, be careful of Obito. He won't give up on the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan!"

Nagato said before leaving.

"I understand, Nagato-sensei!"

Naruto nodded.

Yahiko and Konan then took the weakened Nagato away and returned to Amegakure.

Naruto returned to Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

"Where's Nagato?"

Jiraiya asked.

"He left. I convinced him to completely abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, and he will leave the Akatsuki organization and not get involved anymore. From now on, he will stay in Amegakure and never come out." Naruto relayed Nagato's message.

"????"

Jiraiya was utterly shocked.

He had tried countless times to persuade Nagato and Konan in the livestream as their teacher, but they had completely ignored him, disregarding their relationship as teacher and students.

Yet, Naruto had only been there for a short while, said a few words, and managed to change Nagato's mind. Is this really Talk no Jutsu?

"Naruto, if you encounter any enemy you can't handle in the future, just use your Talk no Jutsu. You'll be able to deal with any enemy!" Jiraiya laughed.

The weakened Tsunade glared at Jiraiya and said, "Don't give reckless advice. This time was just a stroke of luck. If Nagato had fought to the death, Naruto wouldn't necessarily have won. If Naruto lost, he would be captured, the Nine-Tails would be extracted, and Naruto would die!"

"I was just joking!" Jiraiya replied.

"Katsuyu, use the poisonous healing ability on Jiraiya!"

Tsunade commanded.

"Yes!"

Katsuyu immediately used the poisonous healing ability.

Buzz!!!!

A beam of poisonous healing light enveloped Jiraiya, and his injuries began to heal at a visible rate. Even his severed arm was slowly regenerating.

However, fully restoring his arm would take dozens, if not hundreds, of healing sessions.

While being enveloped by the poisonous healing light, Jiraiya couldn't help but let out certain sounds.

These sounds made Naruto feel extremely awkward, and Tsunade blushed in embarrassment: "Hold it in!"

However, Jiraiya simply couldn't help it!

Despite everything, Tsunade never allowed Katsuyu to use the poisonous healing ability on her to heal her injuries.

Shortly afterward, Naruto and the others returned to Konoha one by one.

Not far from there, a White Zetsu appeared.

Watching Nagato and his group leave, it said, "It seems Nagato has betrayed the Akatsuki. I need to inform Obito!"

With that, it merged into the ground and quickly disappeared.

Shortly after Nagato and his group returned, the livestream chat was enabled.

At this time, a rift emerged within the Akatsuki.

[Kisame Hoshigaki: Nagato, White Zetsu says you betrayed us? You're our leader, yet you betrayed us!!!]

[Hidan: Leader Nagato, I've always respected you, but I didn't expect you to actually betray the Akatsuki as predicted by the Golden List!]

[Kakuzu: Konan, Nagato, since you've left the Akatsuki, return my money! That's the earnings from countless missions, and I can't let Konan manage it anymore.]

[Uchiha Obito: Nagato, I'm very disappointed in you. You shouldn't have betrayed the Akatsuki. Now, I will revoke your position and become the new leader of the Akatsuki!]

[Konan: Obito, don't forget that you will die at Kaguya Otsutsuki's hands in the future to save Kakashi and the others. What right do you have to speak against us?]

[Uchiha Obito: That doesn't count. I would never betray the Akatsuki!]

[Sakura Haruno: I heard that Nagato was defeated by Naruto's Talk no Jutsu. Is Naruto's Talk no Jutsu really that powerful?]

Sakura Haruno was truly stunned. Upon learning this news, she was extremely shocked. She had always thought that the Golden List's claim about Talk no Jutsu defeating Nagato and Obito was just a joke, but it turned out to be true!

Naruto's Talk no Jutsu was unbelievably terrifying!!!

[Nagato: I'm sorry, everyone. From now on, we will remain in Amegakure and not interfere in any matters of the ninja world!]

[Uchiha Obito: Nagato, hand over the Death Scepter and the Rinnegan to me, and I will allow you to leave the Akatsuki!]

[Konan: No way! Don't even think about it!]

[Uchiha Obito: The Rinnegan belongs to Madara, and as for the Death Scepter, you promised it to me before.]

[Nagato: Obito, I will never hand over the Death Scepter or the Rinnegan to you!]

[Uchiha Obito: Hahaha, Nagato, if you were at your peak, I indeed wouldn't dare provoke you. But now, you're not only physically weak, but you've also just fought a great battle—how much strength do you have left? As for Konan and Yahiko, they are hardly worth mentioning.]

[Nagato: Are you planning to seize them by force?]

[Uchiha Obito: That's right, and I'm already at Amegakure!]

At Amegakure, Uchiha Obito had arrived. He wouldn't give Nagato time to recover because if Nagato were to regain his strength, defeating him would be extremely difficult. If Konan and Yahiko joined in, it would be even more troublesome.

Therefore, Obito had to seize this opportunity to snatch the Death Scepter and the Rinnegan.

Soon enough, Obito confronted Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko.

The battle was about to erupt.

[Tsunade: Nagato, could you livestream the battle so we can understand the situation? It would also help us learn more about Uchiha Obito's abilities!]

[Nagato: Sure!]

[Fourth Raikage: An internal fight within the Akatsuki, haha, this is going to be interesting!]

[Kisame Hoshigaki: Ah, how did it come to this!]

[Uchiha Itachi: It's a pity I'm too far away; otherwise, I could've intervened!]

Buzz!!!!

Nagato started the livestream.

Everyone rushed into Nagato's livestream room, where they saw Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, and Uchiha Obito wearing his mask.

They watched the livestream and chatted at the same time.

[Fourth Raikage: Nagato looks very pale and appears extremely weak. This fight seems highly unfavorable for Nagato and his group!]

[Third Tsuchikage: I don't sympathize with Nagato. No matter who dies, it's a good thing!]

[Mei Terumi: That's right. Nagato, as the leader of the Akatsuki, has done countless evil deeds over the years. No matter who dies, I'd be happy!]

Soon, the battle began!
