Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"Really? That's right. After all, it's Kakuzu, so just let them go."

After leaving the base, Neji proposed to settle down near the base and have a good rest for a while, but Itachi had something to leave again, and this time Itachi also took Ranmaru with him.

Neji and Shiro were walking on the road, and Shiro looked at Neji with some concern.

"Ningji-sama, what did Itachi-sama do?"

"I don't know. There must be something important. But since I brought Ranmaru with me, it shouldn't be a dangerous thing. I don't care what to do. Let's go to the town to recuperate. This guy Itachi is

I don’t know how to enjoy it.”

Although Neji didn't seem to care that much about what he said, he still cared a little in his heart. After all, Itachi's health was much worse when he returned from a solo operation last time. If this time it was like last time, Neji was worried about Itachi's health.

I can't hold it in advance.

Neji and Shiro had just arrived at the entrance of a small town and were about to enter the town. Neji suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong? Neji-sama."

Shiro looked at Neji with some confusion. Neji shook his head and smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone came to see me."

As these words came out of Ningji's mouth, pieces of paper fell from the air, and finally gathered into Konan. In the past, Konan's expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about anything, but this time Konan's expression was unusual.

serious.

"Neji, Pain, no, Nagato wants to see you, come with me."

Neji raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very surprised, and Neji also discovered that from some unknown time, countless pieces of paper had been floating around him and Shiro. These pieces of paper looked like ordinary paper, but they were all painted on the back.

A technique with a detonating talisman.

Bai's face also became serious, his body was filled with coldness, and he was ready for battle. The two sides suddenly became tense, as if the battle would start in the next moment.

However, Neji shrugged and patted Shiro's shoulder with his hand, and the cold air around Shiro immediately dissipated.

"Since the leader wants to see me, let's go there. Where is it?"

Konan didn't answer. Two of the pieces of paper flying in the air slowly fell to the shoulders of Neji and Shiro. At the moment of contact, a pair of indifferent Rinnegan eyes flashed in Neji's mind, and then there was a sound in his ears.

Cold words.

"Psychic art!"

Neji felt his eyes blur, and the next moment he and Shiro appeared in a dark tree hole.

The skinny Nagato sat at the top, while Pain's six paths were divided into two rows and stood on both sides. The six pairs of samsara eyes locked on Neji and Shiro, leaving Neji and Shiro with almost no blind spots in their movements.

Shiro felt unprecedented pressure, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Neji looked at Nagato who was looking up very calmly.

Konan slowly gathered around Nagato from the pieces of paper, and Nagato slowly opened his eyes.

"Ningji, I'm glad you came. At least this proves that you are not an enemy."

Nagato's words made Shiro, who was already very nervous, even more nervous, but Neji remained calm and shrugged indifferently.

"I didn't expect that the Six Paths of Pain are all here. So, what are you going to do to make the scene so grand?"

With that said, Neji swept Pain's six paths playfully, and a rare smile appeared on Nagato's lips.

"Because I'm not sure if you are still a companion now. I have already seen the battle between you and the Four-Tails."

Neji nodded in sudden realization, and now he finally understood what Nagato was causing.

"So that's it. Do you want to know my purpose?"

"That's right, it was you who took the initiative to join Akatsuki. After joining, you began to seek power. Now that you have this power, what is your purpose? In other words, what was your intention at the beginning?

What is the purpose of joining Akatsuki? Answer me, Neji!"

Nagato opened his eyes wide, and those particularly bright reincarnation eyes were particularly prominent on Nagato's skinny face. The atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

Eyes facing each other.

"Well, before I tell you my purpose, let me talk about my experience first. I am a member of the Hyuga clan. My father is the younger brother of Hyuga Hizashi, the current clan leader of the Hyuga clan. Hyuga Hizashi, I am three years old.

I was carved as a caged bird when I was four years old. My father died in front of me when I was four years old. The funny thing is that he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but committed suicide, just to replace Hinata and Hinatsu and give Raiyin Village a

Explain!"

Nagato closed his eyes, nodded, and his expression softened a lot.

"So, are you pursuing power for revenge? Revenge against Konoha? Or revenge against Raikakure? Or both?"

"No! I don't intend to take revenge, because I know that once I take revenge, someone will definitely come to take revenge on me. This will only cause more tragedy. What I want is peace! If in this world

If there is no more war, the tragedy that happened to me will never happen again."

Nagato and Konan's pupils shrank sharply, with surprise on their faces. After a while, their expressions calmed down again.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Neji grinned and looked up at the dark sky, a trace of madness flashed across his face.

"As long as there is a strong enough existence that makes all countries feel threatened, then those guys will definitely put aside their prejudices and join forces to fight. In this way, they will gradually unite with each other, and they will naturally be incompatible with each other.

There will be war again, and the world needs a villain, so I will be the villain!"

The elders' eyes shone with unprecedented light, and their skinny bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

"It turns out there are people who think the same as me. Yes, this is the future of this world! Ningji, come and help me. By collecting all nine tailed beasts, you can create a weapon that will make the world tremble. As long as you put it together

If this weapon is provided to various countries, countries will be wary of each other and will not dare to easily provoke war. By then, the world will usher in true peace!"

"Ah, that's why I'm here."

Neji and Nagato looked at each other again, and both of them smiled in perfect understanding.

Nagato kept smiling and slowly closed his eyes. The six paths of Pain retreated into the darkness together. The tree trunk behind Neji slowly opened a hole, and the sunlight came in from the outside. Only then did Neji realize that the tree was full of

Made of paper.

Nagato didn't speak again, but Neci already knew what Nagato meant, turned around, and waved to Shiro.

"Let's go, Shiro!"
