Konoha: Starting with Kisara, I've conquered the Naruto world.

Chapter 18 The Negotiation Between Minamoto no Takuno and Nagato

Seeing the chakra dragon rushing towards him, Gen Takuno used Body Flicker Technique to dodge after dispelling his Earth Release.

Then he looked at Nagato, who was panting heavily. Sure enough, summoning the Gedo Mazo and maintaining this chakra dragon were both taking a huge toll on him.

After all, the Gedo Mazo had its chakra drained by the Sage of Six Paths to create the Tailed Beasts. To use the Gedo Mazo for an attack, one must inject an enormous amount of chakra, which is why Nagato was almost drained dry.

"There's someone hiding in the shadows?!" Xiao Nan looked at the black-clad man wearing a fox mask in the distance. This man was not the same masked man who had approached them before, but she hadn't noticed him at all before.

After hearing Konan's words, Minamoto Takuno looked at Nagato with some curiosity and asked, "I also want to know how you discovered me. Even with the Rinnegan, you can't see everything, right?"

The Rinnegan is indeed very powerful, but it is by no means invincible. If it is monitored for a long time, like the crow before, it is normal for the other party to discover it.

But his arrival was short-lived; even the Rinnegan shouldn't have been able to detect him in such a short time.

"The power of the Rinnegan is beyond your comprehension!" Nagato said coldly, staring at Minamoto no Takuya.

If he were at his peak, he wouldn't be worried about his opponent, but now that he's almost at his wit's end, he hopes to scare his opponent away with his Rinnegan.

Unfortunately, Takuno Minamoto, who was not unfamiliar with the Rinnegan, was not intimidated. He pondered the reason why he had been discovered and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Hmm, it must have been the earthquake caused when that big guy behind you was summoned that gave my Earth Escape technique a slight opening, which you then discovered, right?"

Nagato fell silent. His gaze toward Gen Takuno grew even more wary, for the other was right. It was only then that he realized there was someone else hiding in the shadows.

"Looks like I guessed right." Yuan Tuoye shrugged and said casually in his androgynous voice.

His natural voice is male, but he doesn't want the other person to recognize him by his voice, so he chooses to use a falsetto.

"So what if it's true? I might spare your life if you leave," Nagato said with a cold snort, as the giant dragon seemed to be baring its fangs and roaring.

"Well, if it were when it was first summoned, then I would indeed need to avoid its sharp edge for the time being. But right now, it's just a paper tiger, only looking imposing. So, how long can you keep maintaining it?" Yuan Tuoye said with a mocking look at the giant dragon.

Nagato fell silent, and then the giant dragon that had killed countless Rain Ninja finally disbanded. Its very existence was a huge drain on its strength, and its attack on Minamoto no Takuno was its final strike.

However, the opponent dodged it, and now it only increases his consumption without having any real effect. Originally, he wanted to use the dragon to scare the opponent away.

But the other party was far too perceptive; nothing he did could escape their notice.

Yuan Tuoye wasn't entirely sure at first; he couldn't risk his life. But since the other party was threatening him, he became more certain.

Because if that dragon still had the power to kill him, then Nagato, who had just experienced the pain of losing a friend, would not be able to threaten him with words, but would directly use the dragon to kill him.

It could even be said that the dragon was no longer able to attack, which is why the other party chose to threaten him with those words!

"So that means you don't want to leave?" Nagato's voice grew colder. The black rod connecting his back to the Gedo Mazo broke off, and he detached himself from it, staggering and almost falling over.

Konan, who was standing nearby, supported him. Looking at the injuries that Hanzo had inflicted on Nagato's legs with his Fire Release and Explosive Tags, she couldn't help but show worry in her eyes.

"Nagato..."

The explosive tag detonated close to the body, almost blowing away all the flesh from the legs!

Even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice; even the best medical ninja in the entire ninja world couldn't cure this, right?

Nagato shook his head at Konan; this wasn't the time to discuss this. He looked at Minamoto no Takuya and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Gen Takuno smiled, finally agreeing to talk, and said, "I'm just a collector who likes to collect strange creatures, and I'm very interested in that giant golem behind you."

As he spoke, he looked at the demonic statue and said, "It looks like just a stone statue, but it has traces of life. It's really interesting."

Nagato was taken aback; he hadn't expected the other party's target to be the Gedo Statue. But he quickly realized what was happening. "You're lying! You were there before I summoned the Gedo Statue!"

"I'm not lying, but what you said is indeed a flaw." Yuan Tuoye was also a little helpless.

"You're talking nonsense and there's no truth in your words!" Nagato said coldly. He was already secretly continuing to push his body to its limits. After all, he was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and he could always squeeze out some chakra.

Now that he had finally completed the extraction of chakra, he opened his eyes wide, revealing his Rinnegan to Genji Takuno without any restraint.

"Universal Guidance!"

Nagato's sudden attack... did not surprise Gen Takuno. He felt the opponent's Universal Pull, and there was indeed a suction force, but... his body did not move, as if it were rooted to the ground.

Because he was a ninja who possessed the Earth Attribute from the beginning, and the Earth Attribute has a heavy nature, he was truly connected to the earth at this moment.

Nagato's eyes narrowed as he looked at Minamoto no Takuya, who hadn't been drawn in by his Universal Pull. He took a deep breath, shouted, and his chakra exploded once more, increasing the power of Universal Pull to a new level!

Finally, Gen Takuno moved. It wasn't that his Earth Release technique had failed, but rather... the ground beneath his feet had been cracked by Nagato's enhanced Universal Pull, and it seemed he was about to be drawn towards the opponent.

"Tsk, when you're at your limit, you should act like one. I'd like to see just how much chakra you have left!" Gen Takuno snorted coldly, then formed hand seals and pressed them onto the ground.

In an instant, the earth shook, and countless huge rocks emerged from the ground, appearing before him.

Didn't you want to absorb it? Then attract these rocks along with it.

Gen Takuno knew that normally, this wouldn't be a big deal for Nagato of the Uzumaki clan, since it was just a matter of increasing the amount of chakra. But for Nagato at this moment, it was an unbearable burden!
