The Revenge List

It's been about fifteen minutes of unrestrained destruction, and Nagato seems to be frustrated with how the Pains are becoming more uncontrollable. Naruto is currently reluctantly helping civilians take cover due to his "mission," but he keeps turning his head, and I can almost feel the anxiety of the ANBU who are "assisting," trying to think of ways to deceive Naruto so that he doesn't get close to any Pain.

For heaven's sake, you're ninjas!

Throw a paralyzing poison for elephants at him or knock him out with a blow to the back of the neck and take him far away; you're supposed to be more skilled than him, right?

Are you hesitating to take effective measures because Kakashi is now the Hokage and Naruto is his student?

At least Hinata has managed to get the people out of the village; they just need to run a few kilometers to leave false trails, and then Hinata can summon the Kinton cloud to take everyone back to the village. It will take a bit longer due to the volume of passengers and because the kids can't handle that much speed, but it's better than nothing.

Well, now that the distraction is no longer necessary, I can start moving.

Shikaku has been staring at the ruins of the Nara clan compound for the past five minutes without reacting, so let's put him out of his misery, shall we?

Let's see, I can't just zap him with lightning; Nagato hasn't used any of that, and it would be suspicious. I also don't want to use the alloy bracelet since retrieving it would be annoying.

Oh, I see those wires among the collapsed buildings. Let's take four of them, coil them, and using lightning metallurgy, combine them into a simple but effective iron javelin.

Where will I throw it?

The head would be instant death, but he wouldn't suffer.

The heart would give him good pain, but if they have medical ninjas, it's remotely salvageable.

The base of the column...

Nah, let's go for the head. I prefer to ensure a hundred percent death with no possibility of recovery.

I'd love to make a railgun, but it will be more satisfying to throw the spear with my own hands and propelled by my ability.

Aiming and... Bullseye!

Okay, maybe it dipped a little due to the distance, but it passed from one side of his neck to the other, achieving a perfectly clean decapitation.

Oops, Kakashi almost caught me with his Sharingan.

He looked pretty angry, and Shikaku's blood all over his face gave him a darker and more sinister touch.

Can they blame me using fingerprints?

Err... I don't think so; the spear was literally red-hot when it crashed at the end of the throw. If there was any residue of fat for fingerprints, it certainly burned.

Even if they find out it was me, then what?

I'm only doing this discreetly because dealing with them would be a pain; they shouldn't mistake it for fear. They might also realize "who" took the missing Hyuga clan members, so no, no excuses for them.

Now, let's deal with Nagato and his piercings-filled chameleon.

Even if he's starting to get annoyed, it seems like he knows how to move. He's moved outside the village for his own safety, in the direction practically opposite to where Hinata left with her group.

Mmm?

Wait, the Deva Path of the Pains just jumped really high, enough to...

Well, I'm glad Hinata left in time before this happened.

— Shinra Tensei!

And there goes Konoha...

There are also several Pains in pieces, but it's interesting to note that the only one still moving successfully is the Naraka Path, which is responsible for bringing out the King of Hell's head to restore the other Pains.

No one stops him, looking in shock at what used to be their village and what's left of it.

Should I inform Suna and Kumo so they can take action?

Right now, Konoha is practically served on a silver platter! Or what's left of it, at least...

But given that what they want is fertile land, I don't see why not take a piece of the pie now that it's served. I doubt Iwagakure will maintain the alliance once they know the state of Konoha.

Mental note: Call Temari and the Raikage to invade Konoha later, if they're interested.

Additional note: Think about what to ask for this time, maybe the former Uzumaki territory.

Let's make sure everything is in order:

Is the Nara Clan irreparably damaged? Done.

Killing Shikaku for having the audacity to target my children? Done.

Dealing with the barrier team? Done.

Hinata, Hanabi, and the unmarked children left the village undetected? Done.

Was the village of Konoha seriously damaged? It wasn't part of the plan, but it's done.

Killing Nagato? Pending.

He thought being on the outskirts of the village would make him safer, well, too bad for him, because it will actually play against him. I can't appear in the middle of Konoha as it is, but if someone uses "Lightning Release" on the outskirts, that's a completely different story.

I don't even need to use maximum power to destroy the chameleon and have Nagato, along with his strange walker, appear in front of me.

— I thought-

Slash!

— Think whatever you want. After all, you have a lot of time now in the Pure Land, hell, or wherever you end up —I told Nagato's head, which I held by the hair while returning the alloy sword to its bracelet form— However, those eyes are coming with me.

I'm not going to pluck out his eyes with my fingers; I have capsules!

Just keep the damn head and perform the surgical procedure properly in the lab; it's not that complicated!
