This Danzo Is Weird!

Seeing Deva Pain regain his vitality, Danzo couldn't help but marvel inwardly:

The Rinnegan is truly a BUG!

To be honest, Deva alone isn't actually that invincible.

After all, there is a cooldown period of several seconds when he uses Shinra Tensei.

Especially when using the large-scale Shinra Tensei, the cooldown time is even longer.

Although this move has a terrifying attack power, in ninja battles, a moment can determine life and death, not to mention such a long cooldown period.

Moreover, during this cooldown period, Deva Pain cannot continue to use Shinra Tensei, nor can he use any other powers of Deva.

This gives others the opportunity to take advantage.

As long as one can withstand the first wave of attacks, it is possible to take advantage of Deva's cooldown period to make a big move.

After all, Nagato's own taijutsu is not particularly outstanding, and he is still somewhat lacking when facing a swordsmanship expert like Hanzo.

Therefore, the enemy can completely take advantage of this gap to eliminate Deva Pain in one go.

So why does Danzo still say that the Rinnegan is a BUG?

That's because the Rinnegan is not limited to just the Deva ability.

There are also the other five paths: Animal Path, Asura Path, Hell Path, Human Path, and Preta Path!

The Animal Path can summon a variety of modified summoned beasts.

The Asura Path wields a large number of high-tech weapons and has the ability to transform oneself into a human weapon.

The Hell Path holds the power over life and death.

The Human Path controls souls.

The Preta Path has the power to seal all ninjutsu and absorb chakra.

Combined with the most powerful attack of the Deva Path, these six abilities cover almost all aspects of attack, defense, healing, and sealing.

Not to mention that outside the Six Paths, there is an ultra-BUG-level ability that can resurrect others—

The Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Jutsu!

It can be said that Nagato, who has fully mastered the power of the Rinnegan, is a new "god" without any weaknesses.

At this moment, Nagato, who has mastered the abilities of the Deva and Hell Paths, has already begun to show his might.

Of course, Danzo was just marveling in this way.

It was not out of any jealousy.

On the contrary, he even wished that the power of the Rinnegan was more BUG-like.

Because just now, the long-awaited golden light finally flashed before his eyes.

"Detected Nagato's gratitude (strong)!"

"Obtained 1 skill point."

"Drawing rewards..."

"Congratulations on obtaining the reward [Six Paths: Hell Path (S-)]!"

Another S-class reward.

It has to be said, Nagato is truly remarkable.

So far, Danzo has successively obtained the abilities of [Preta Path], [Asura Path], and [Hell Path].

Just in terms of progress, he is much faster than Nagato.

If this continues, he might even gather all the Rinnegan abilities for himself.

At that time, it might be possible to directly synthesize a complete Rinnegan.

After successfully resurrecting Deva Pain, Nagato wasted no time and directly manipulated him to re-enter the battlefield.

It would be more accurate to say that he was receiving prisoners of war rather than going to the battlefield.

Seeing the terrifying pit of fear in the center of the village, coupled with the disappearance of Hanzo, these once loyal Rain ninjas immediately surrendered.

Except for a few diehards who caused a little trouble and were mercilessly suppressed by Nagato, the others were quite sensible in expressing:

The Rain Village has suffered under Hanzo for a long time, and today we are delighted to welcome the heavenly troops!

This wave of surrender quickly spread within the Hidden Rain Village.

Ultimately, it formed the bizarre situation where the Akatsuki organization, which only had dozens of members, had to manage hundreds of prisoners.

Fortunately, with Nagato's presence, even if they were tied up at the crossroads with a rope, no one would dare to escape.

Although they had accomplished the great feat that Akatsuki had imagined and successfully driven away Hanzo,

Yahiko, as the leader, was not as happy as he had imagined.

"What a pity, such a large village is destroyed."

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Yahiko sighed deeply.

How much manpower, material resources, and financial resources would it take to repair it?

Not to mention that the Land of Rain is already poor.

It is already difficult to support themselves, let alone undertake such a huge project.

Thinking of this, the future leader of the Hidden Rain Village felt a chill on his scalp.

Fortunately, the helpful Danzo stepped forward once again at this time.

"Don't worry, I will apply to the village for a sum of money and supplies as soon as possible to aid the Hidden Rain Village."

Danzo's words immediately swept away the worries on Yahiko's face, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.

Not only him, but Konan and Nagato also showed smiles.

But soon, Danzo poured a bucket of cold water over them.

"Don't be too happy too early, this batch of aid is only a temporary loan to you."

"When the Hidden Rain Village can be self-sufficient, you will need to repay it with interest!"

Regarding this, the core trio of Akatsuki had no objections.

After all, the help Danzo had given them was already more than enough, and they could not expect him to keep helping them without limits.

Thinking of this, Yahiko finally stood up and bowed to Danzo with great respect, saying:

"Thank you very much for your help, Lord Danzo. From now on, Akatsuki, no, the Hidden Rain Village will definitely repay you!"

"Hmph..."

Hearing Yahiko's promise, Danzo let out a soft chuckle.

"As long as you don't turn into someone like Hanzo, that would be the greatest reward for me."

With that, Danzo's body flickered and he had already vanished from the spot.

Only the journalists from the Shinobi World United News remained, still searching for various materials on the battlefield of the Hidden Rain Village.

Another day passed, and with the arrival of the main force of Akatsuki, the situation in the Hidden Rain Village was finally settled.

Thus, Nagato began a major purge of the prisoners of war in the Hidden Rain Village.

Batch after batch of Hanzo's loyalists were identified by Nagato and executed!

It is said that during those days, the river outside the Hidden Rain Village was red!

So many people were secretly discussing whether there was a "mastermind" behind Pain?

For example, that mysterious figure of the ninja world?

It turned out that Danzo's methods were indeed effective.

Under this high-pressure deterrence, the entire Hidden Rain Village was quickly pacified.

Those who were restless and harbored ill intentions all gave up their undue thoughts and meekly kept quiet.

In this regard, Nagato indeed learned a few tricks from Danzo.

Meanwhile...

This news spread rapidly throughout the ninja world with the latest issue of the Shinobi World United News.

It also shocked the entire ninja world.

Naturally, the Hidden Rain Village became the focus of public opinion.

Looking at the photos of the almost completely destroyed Hidden Rain Village and the disheveled Hanzo fleeing in defeat, the ninja world was in an uproar.

The former demigod, who had actually been defeated?

And by a group of young upstarts just starting out?
