Chapter 132: Sand Hidden Message

"We have now preliminarily established trust."

"My suggestion is that you reduce or even cut off the supply to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. First nurse your body back to health, then decide whether or not to cooperate with me."

"When a person has a higher mountain in their heart they wish to climb, they will no longer mind the quagmire at their feet."

"Although the Rinnegan is very powerful, the members of the Otsutsuki clan all have Rinnegan."

"To that kind of high-end lifeform, this is not some impressive treasure."

"At most, it can only be considered a tool."

"Although you do not have Rinnegan in your body, your body itself is also not bad."

"What I value more is you as a person."

"Whether or not to form an alliance, you can think about it."

Nagato's willpower is actually very strong, but the matter of the Rinnegan hit him too hard.

Rengoku's words, however, opened up Nagato's horizons.

He was not good with words, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Compared to Nagato, Konan completely agreed with Rengoku's words, after all, Nagato had been driving his body at full load all this time.

If this continued, he simply wouldn't live long.

Konan was someone who had never had selfish intentions. After Yahiko's death, she always acted according to Nagato's thoughts.

But her feelings for Nagato and Yahiko were deep.

Having depended on each other for so many years, she didn't want Nagato to die so early.

"Pain, I think what Rengoku said makes a lot of sense."

This was the first time Konan had agreed with someone else's words like this.

Pain nodded, "Very well, we will form an alliance for now."

"As for whether or not to include your Uchiha, we will talk about that later."

Pain didn't give a definitive answer, because he couldn't see through Rengoku.

Although Rengoku was telling him nothing but the whole truth, Pain didn't have Rengoku's God perspective, and many things had no evidence at all. Everything needed time to verify.

Rengoku nodded in satisfaction. He knew that having a good beginning was enough.

"Whether or not you want to break ties with Obito, that's your matter, but you'd best ensure your own safety."

"And you need to inform me."

"I'll think of a way regarding the issue with your body."

"Right now, I need to go handle matters in Konoha. Give me a ring so we can stay in contact."

Rengoku was very action-oriented. Since they had formed an alliance, he no longer treated himself as an outsider.

Pain looked at Rengoku curiously, "Can you tell me, how do you know so much?"

Rengoku pointed at his own eyes, "The Mangekyo is the eye that reflects the soul. The ability awakened is related to one's own wish."

"The me of the past couldn't find the future direction of the Uchiha, so after awakening the Mangekyo, I could see countless timelines of the future."

Konan and Pain both showed expressions of disbelief, "Rengoku, are you telling the truth?"

Rengoku's current body didn't carry much ocular power, and he hadn't prepared to demonstrate.

He only smiled and said, "Don't know if you've started storing paper bombs, but in the end, your Paper Person of God Technique against Obito failed and you were killed."

"Because Uchiha Obito knows the Izanagi technique."

As he spoke, Rengoku explained to Konan what the Izanagi technique was.

Konan's face couldn't hide her shock. After all, the idea to start storing paper bombs just in case had only come to her recently.

She hadn't even implemented it yet, so it could only have been foreseen.

And the Uchiha clan actually had this kind of illusion technique, if she didn't know about it, she truly would be killed by Obito's trickery.

Konan already believed Rengoku's words. She looked at Pain, "What about Nagato?"

Rengoku shook his head, "He died earlier than you. After continuous battles, his life force was exhausted and he died."

"Died on the path toward his ideal."

Rengoku didn't mention the part where Nagato was defeated and persuaded by Naruto, after all, to a martyr, dying in battle was his best destination.

Actually, under those circumstances, Nagato had no other option. He couldn't escape, so he might as well try the path Naruto described.

In truth, Naruto's victory at the end wasn't because of love and bonds or anything.

It was purely because his fists were bigger.

Naruto just one-sidedly believed it was thanks to love and bonds.

Konan's expression became tense. She already believed about eighty percent of what Rengoku said.

Pain's face also showed some emotional movement. He had a premonition that what Rengoku said might very well be true.

He gave Konan a look, and Konan took out a ring engraved with the word "Vermilion" and handed it to Rengoku.

Rengoku took the ring, spun it playfully twice.

Didn't expect that the ring originally prepared for Itachi ended up being given to himself.

Then Konan explained the Magic Lantern Body Technique to Rengoku.

Rengoku understood quickly.

"If there's anything, I'll contact you. I'm off," Rengoku put on the ring, and his whole body sank into the shadow and quickly disappeared.

Pain watched the vanished Rengoku silently for a long time.

"Nagato?"

Pain looked at Konan, "I'm a little tired. Time to get some rest."

———

Rengoku used the Shadow Escape technique and headed toward Fugaku's mansion.

Although many people in the ninja world could hide in shadows, the ability to move quickly within shadows was extremely rare.

Moreover, Rengoku's Shadow Escape didn't care about the depth of the shadow. As long as there was a shadow, he could move fast.

He silently appeared in Fugaku's living room.

Fugaku, who was drinking tea, suddenly cried out, "Who?"

Yusuke and Rinjin immediately broke in through the door and surrounded Fugaku.

Fugaku stared at a patch of shadow in the corner.

Rengoku at this time slowly stood up from the shadow.

"Clan head, looks like your vigilance is pretty good."

Fugaku's expression became hard to maintain. He waved his hand to signal Yusuke and Rinjin to leave.

Yuusuke and Ryouji bowed to Rengoku and retreated.

But the door was broken, it had to be repaired again.

Fugaku looked Rengoku up and down, "You… is this your clone?"

Rengoku nodded slightly, "Yes, this is my clone, and also my dojutsu."

"My consciousness can switch back and forth with the main body."

Fugaku's eyes gleamed, "Your clone can also use Shadow Escape, very suitable for assassination and infiltration."

Rengoku nodded, "That's right. But I'm pretty busy lately. I have to finish handling the matters with the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Rock first."

Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Also add Hidden Sand to that list."

Rengoku showed a surprised expression, "What, news from Jiyan?"

Jiyan was the leader among the clan members sent to the black market on a mission. If there was any information, it definitely came from him.

Fugaku responded, "Hidden Sand sent out elites, and they hid themselves very well, but luck wasn't on their side."

"While Jiyan was on a mission in the Land of Rivers, he discovered their traces."

"Oh?", Rengoku became interested.

"How many people? Who's leading?"

"Scorch Release Pakura is leading, with more than ten people. All elites. And they even brought the jinchuriki with them."
