Naruto: Swarm System

After confirming that the duel between Shishou and the leader of the Akatsuki in twenty days could not be changed.

Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Yugito, and others threw themselves into training, trying to improve their strength as quickly as possible to prevent the worst-case scenario.

Shishou simply smiled at this situation.

Although he was very confident in his ability to defeat Nagato, if it motivated Tsunade and the others to train hard, that was good too.

Land of Demons, Miroku's Palace.

When Shishou arrived at the courtyard where Konan was staying, he saw her diligently training.

Noticing Shishou's arrival, Konan stopped her practice.

Shishou walked over and gently hugged her, saying, "Are you really planning to go back to Amegakure?"

He had come to the Land of Demons because Konan wanted to return to Amegakure.

Since their last conversation, Nagato had left Amegakure and had not returned. In this situation, Konan wanted to go back and continue protecting the village.

It was where she had grown up and the place Yahiko and Nagato had wanted to protect. Konan couldn't abandon it.

Konan hugged Shishou and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Shishou smiled and asked, "What are your plans after that? Will you continue as the guardian of Amegakure, or something else?"

Konan frowned slightly and said, "I want to become stronger."

Only by becoming stronger could she follow Nagato's wishes and continue to protect Amegakure.

Yes, in Konan's mind, Nagato was as good as dead.

Shishou cupped Konan's cold, beautiful face and smiled, "Besides becoming stronger?"

Konan thought for a moment, expressionless, and slowly said, "I want to help you oversee the Akatsuki and carry out your containment plan, contributing to the peace of the ninja world."

Shishou's Akatsuki containment plan was a strategy to prepare for the future invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, though it was a side plan, Konan was determined to carry it out.

Hearing Konan's thoughts, Shishou laughed and said, "Then you'll need to become very, very strong. With your current strength, you probably can't defeat Uchiha Obito."

Uchiha Obito had both Mangekyo Sharingan and had recently been elusive. It wouldn't be easy for Konan to restrain him after Nagato.

Konan said firmly, "I will work hard to become stronger."

Shishou kissed Konan's forehead and smiled, "If that's the case, let me help you."

He then took out a group of phosphorus insects from his insect breeding space, attached them to his hand, and pressed them onto Konan's forehead.

In the next moment, a vast amount of energy flooded into Konan's body, rapidly increasing her chakra, doubling it again after she had already awakened the White Snake Sage's chakra.

Konan's unique Dance of the Shikigami allowed her to be immune to most physical and ninjutsu attacks as long as her chakra was vast.

The large amount of chakra also greatly enhanced Konan's resistance to genjutsu. Combined with the God Paper Jutsu and Ryuchi Cave's sage techniques, Konan would be invincible in Amegakure.

This way, Shishou wouldn't have to worry about Uchiha Obito causing trouble for her.

As the vast energy entered her body, Konan's cold limbs began to warm up, and a layer of enticing blush appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

After ensuring that Konan had successfully awakened the power of Hashirama, Shishou withdrew the phosphorus insects.

Feeling the changes in her body, Konan wrapped her arms around Shishou and kissed him.

"Thank you, Shishou."

Shishou spread his hands and teased, "I'll need your help in future battles."

He wanted to go to the Otsutsuki clan's home planet, which meant those around him needed the power to counter the Otsutsuki clan.

Konan laughed boldly, "Tell me who to fight, and I'll fight them."

"Then you must train hard. Let's go; I'll take you back to Amegakure."

Shishou squeezed Konan's small hand and disappeared with her.

After sending Konan back to Amegakure, Shishou went to the moon again to study Ryuchi Cave's Inorganic Reincarnation sage technique.

Although he was confident he could defeat Nagato, Shishou wouldn't underestimate him.

Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit; he wouldn't make such an obvious mistake.

After exploring for ten days, he finally succeeded in experimenting with the basic usage of the White Snake Sage's diamond techniques.

...

Within the Bird Country.

Jiraiya, traveling around, was accompanied by the two Toad Sages, Fukasaku and Shima, walking along a forest path.

The Great Toad Sage had once predicted a great crisis, so Jiraiya and the two toads had been traveling continuously for the past two years, trying to discover the hidden dangers in the ninja world.

As Jiraiya walked, he suddenly frowned.

At the end of the path, three masked figures stood silently, watching them.

One of them felt very familiar to Jiraiya.

A bad feeling slowly rose in his heart.

Orochimaru removed his mask and said with a smile, "Jiraiya, long time no see."

Jiraiya glanced at the two figures beside Orochimaru, frowned, and said sternly, "Orochimaru, not only did you kill Sensei Sarutobi, but now you're targeting me!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "I want to grasp the power of sage techniques, so I must ask for your cooperation."

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, then at the two beside him, and said darkly, "Do you think I'm an easy target?"

In the next second, Jiraiya's chakra surged, and he quickly formed hand seals.

Swish!

Jiraiya's figure blurred, instantly fleeing backward at high speed.

Having understood the details of the Konoha Crush plan from Tsunade, he had no intention of fighting Orochimaru and the other two.

...

At the border of the Land of Wind.

Roran Ruins.

Surrounded by the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato slowly entered the underground of the Roran Ruins from the desert surface.

In a massive hall, Nagato saw a circular altar covered with sealing techniques in the center.

Approaching the altar, Nagato retrieved the scroll in his hand.

To prepare for the duel with the Flying Thunder God user, Nagato had searched the ninja world for unusual powers not yet discovered by others.

In a conversation with Sasori, he learned about the Roran Ruins and the Dragon Vein in the desert of the Land of Wind.

Following that, he and Kakuzu went to Takigakure and finally found detailed information about the Roran Ruins in the Takigakure archives, leading them here.

According to the records, there was a massive chakra collection underground in the Roran Ruins, known as the Dragon Vein.

"Uzumaki Clan's sealing..."

Glancing at the sealing techniques on the altar, Nagato squinted.

The power of the Dragon Vein might be the key to defeating the Flying Thunder God user.
