Chapter 168: The Collision Of Ideologies

"Humph." Satoru while sucking a lollipop in his mouth, was slowly putting on his clothes while playing a ditty.

Terumi Mei knelt down on the ground, covering the bulge with her hands, and after she looked at Satoru who was getting dressed, she blushed and looked away shyly.

She saw Satoru clothing her own body and felt a strange sense of shame.

"Can you feel at least a little bit of a sense of crisis? If you keep dawdling like this, your village may be in real crisis." Terumi Mei urged.

The village was attacked by members of Akatsuki and Satoru was still here in leisure.

After Satoru got dressed, he brushed his long brown hair, he pointed at Terumi Mei with a lollipop, and chuckled, "Even if you beat Pain, it's meaningless."

"What do you mean?" Terumi Mei wondered.

The enemy was invading the village, was there any point other than defeating the enemy?

Could it be that they had to indulge the enemy?

Satoru pretended to be disgusted, and sighed, "Even if you are using my body, your brain's thinking is still Terumi Mei's."

"Can you stop talking in riddles? Just say it in a straight forward way!" Terumi Mei showed a trace of anger, biting her lips and slowly clenched her fists, but she finally held back.

After all, with Satoru's strength, after a punch, her really body will definitely be seriously injured.

Satoru said succinctly, "Pain can be revived infinitely."

Even if you beat Six Paths of Pain, it doesn't make any sense.

Because Pain was a dead man to begin with, he's a kind of advance corpse puppet.

It was the manipulator behind the scenes that needed to be defeated to stop Pain Six Paths.

"Infinite resurrection?" Terumi Mei frowned slightly.

'Pain Six Paths could be resurrected infinitely… is it similar to that Hidan of Akatsuki's ability?'

Satoru said, "It will be troublesome to explain until you can understand, but in short, what I tell you to do, you just do it."

Even if he explained that Six Paths of Pain was a product of Rinnegan's ability, Terumi Mei would still have many questions.

So it's useless to explain so much, he will just tell Terumi Mei directly that who the priority for killing was.

"You really annoy me." Terumi Mei's tone was tinged with displeasure, she felt like being treated as a big fool by Satoru.

An eagle flew towards Satoru.

"Don't be so impatient, see there is news." Satoru raised his hand, and the eagle landed on his finger.

The eagle spit out a scroll from its mouth, and then disappeared into white smoke.

Satoru opened the scroll, revealing the map of the Land of Fire inside. He pointed to the place marked on the map and said with a smile, "Let's go, our target is here."

The place marked on the map was the hiding place of Nagato.

Nagato needed to be within a certain distance from Six Paths of Pain to control it. Since Pain invaded Konoha, Nagato must be around Konoha.

So immediately after the exchange, Satoru sent a summoning beast for scouting to investigate Nagato's hiding place.

"The map of the Land of Fire… what did you marked here for?" Terumi Mei looked at the map with doubts in her eyes.

"We will catch the perpetrator first, that is, Uzumaki Nagato who controls Pain is here." Satoru grabbed Terumi Mei's wrist and urged deliberately, "The enemy is invading the village, can you have at least a little sense of crisis?"

"Don't talk nonsense, use teleport quickly."

Terumi Mei glared at Satoru, and said angrily, "You are the least qualified to say that!"

She just said that Satoru had no sense of crisis, and then she was ridiculed by Satoru saying that she had no sense of crisis?

'He really deserves a beating.'

Satoru sucked the lollipop lightly and said, "Hurry up, otherwise it will be your fault if the plan fails."

"Can you eat less sugar while you use my body?" Terumi Mei said speechlessly. She closed her eyes and imagined the feeling of teleportation from before.

After two seconds.

*Whoosh* 

The two disappeared from there.

…

Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, inside a big artificial tree.

Nagato was sitting in an instrument, with many black iron rods stuck behind him, and his whole body was skinny, as if he hadn't eaten for a very long time.

"Cough, cough, cough." Nagato coughed violently, covering his mouth, spitting out a large amount of blood while coughing.

Konan with a worried expression on her face, looked at Nagato, who was coughing blood, and asked with concern, "Nagato can you continue in this state…?"

"Compared to Yahiko's pain, what is my pain?" Nagato slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes with a ripple pattern.

The ripple in the eyes exuded a huge amount of visual prowess, it was so overwhelming that could make people unable to look at it directly.

This was the real Rinnegan. 

Ever since summoning out of Gedo Statue, his vitality had been getting weaker day by day.

With the continuous Rinnegan's backlash and Gedo Statue's consumption, his life was almost at its end, and there was not much time left for him.

*Whoosh* 

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

Konan's expression immediately changed, and she quickly stood in front of Nagato with pieces of paper floating around her, ready to attack.

"Yo." Satoru greeted her with a smile.

"Yagyu Satoru." Konan looked cold and indifferent, looking at Terumi Mei's (who was in Satoru's body) face indifferently, a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes.

'To think this damned bastard will find us here.'

Before, Satoru molested her in front of Nagato, causing her to be so embarrassed that she couldn't even face Nagato for a long time.

She was a very vengeful person.

Konan had yet to find out that Satoru has swapped bodies with Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei gave Satoru a weird look, she could feel Konan's cold gaze was full of anger.

'What did Satoru, this repeat offender, did to her before, causing her to be so resentful?'

"Yagyu Satoru." Nagato looked at the real Satoru who was in Terumi Mei's body with a flat expression on his face. He knew from the very beginning that Satoru would definitely find this place.

He could see through Rinnegan that inside the current Terumi Mei's body was Satoru, and inside Satoru's body was Terumi Mei.

"Did you feel pain after seeing your village destroyed?" Nagato's tone was flat. He wanted Satoru to understand the pain and understand that this world was wrong.

Satoru smiled lightly, "It's just a village, it can be just re-built."

If the village was destroyed, let it be destroyed.

Even if the entire ninja world was destroyed, he doesn't have much emotion towards that.

Because he was definitely not a savior, and he was not interested in pity the pain of the weak, he was just the exclusive hero of important people.

"The killing of human life indiscriminately, the endless hatred, the incurable pain, this is... war, the sin of the five great powers."

Nagato continued, "Those who don't know what sadness is, won't understand how important true peace is. You are nothing but arrogant when you do everything centering only your own interests."

The corners of Satoru's mouth raised slightly, with a faint and frivolous smile on his face, he said, "Profits make heroes, and the world will weed out incompetent people."

"War is indeed wrong, but protecting the village is always the right thing to do." Terumi Mei said in a deep voice, "If you want to protect some people, you need to kill some people." 

This was her concept as the Mizukage, they fought wars to protect the interests of their village, and no one can define its error.

When a war breaks out, if you want to protect the village, you must deal with the ninjas in other villages.

That's what she too did at the time of wars. Later, in order to protect the entire Kirigakure, she got rid those high-level officials who ordered to hunt down the possessors of Kekkei Genkais and ended the Blood Mist era.

"To think you can also understand some truths, it's really amazing." Satoru rubbed his chin, leaning on his own handsome face.

He quite agrees with Terumi Mei's point of view.

There were no absolute mistakes in the world, only relative positions.

"You're really annoying." Terumi Mei said angrily.

Satoru was so annoying, always taking a dig at other people.

Konan was slightly startled, and looked at Satoru and Terumi Mei strangely.

'Why do I feel like these two have the exact opposite personalities of what they had?'

"You can see the trees, but you have never seen the forest." Nagato slowly got up, and the iron rod behind him fell to the ground.

Satoru said frivolously, "I'm sorry, I'm a person standing at the top, so I can't hear the screams of the people at the bottom."

"I want to mark an era of peace in this war-torn world. That is a god's mission and Yahiko's dream." Nagato's voice was low and he burst out a huge chakra.

"For this reason, the world must first experience the pain that is hard to bear."

"Satoru, after you lose someone important to you, can you still say arrogant words?" Nagato was very firm, he must fulfill Yahiko's dream.

A world without war was the childhood dream of the three of them.

After Yahiko died for his dream, he decided that will bear everything and fulfill the dream of Konan and Yahiko.

"Nagato...you..." Konan felt Nagato's chakra, a look of panic flashed in her eyes. She wanted to stop Nagato from making a move, but the words that was about to come out of her mouth finally retracted.

Because she knew that in order to realize their dream, the dream that Yahiko sacrificed his life for, Nagato could resolutely give up everything, even his own life.

She respects Nagato's idea, since Nagato intended to give his all, then she will guard Nagato to the last moment.

"What a terrifying chakra..." Terumi Mei's complexion changed slightly, she could clearly feel how terrifying amount of chakra that Nagato possessed through Satoru's eyes.

Especially that Rinnegan, which contained an outrageous history.
