Remnants of the Old Era

Seeing that Pain had dealt with the rest of the Ame Shinobi, Nagasawa stopped pumping his Chakra into Murakumogiri, and the light blade's extension quickly dissipated.

Musashi, who had dealt with Kurezan, walked to Nagasawa and asked, "Pops, what should we do next? Should we leave?"

Nagasawa shook his head and smiled, "Since we have come to Amegakure, of course, we have to go and see the legendary Hanzo."

After saying that, Nagasawa picked up Murakumogiri and walked toward Pain. He stretched out his hand and said, "Be my son!"

Nagato, who controlled Pain, was baffled by what Nagasawa said.

"You are being impudent before God." Pain stared at Nagasawa with an expressionless face, trying to intimidate Nagasawa.

However, at this time, Pain still looked like a teenager, not as intimidating as he was in the future.

Let alone feel intimidated, Nagasawa actually felt as if he had met a teenager who acted like he was the coolest guy in the room.

"Gu ra ra ra ra." Nagasawa laughed and said, "You don't want to? It's normal for an outstanding youth like you."

At this time, a swirl appeared out of nowhere. Obito walked out of it and said, "Hurry up and stop Hanzo! He's trying to escape!" Obito said.

While they were fighting, White Zetsu, who was monitoring Hanzo, suddenly told Obito that Hanzo tried to escape.

Obito tried to stop Hanzo and even exchanged a few blows with him, but Hanzo proved to be too much to handle by himself, so he informed Pain and Nagasawa.

Siu!

Hearing that, Pain instantly took off and levitated toward Hanzo's house.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. The heartbreaking scene on that day would keep playing in his mind.

They all were thrilled when Amegakure acknowledged Akatsuki and even offered to cooperate with them. However, what awaited them was a trap!

Nagato would never forget that scene, even if he died. It rained heavily that day. He trembled as he held Kunai, completely at a loss.

Being forced to pick between Konan and Yahiko, Nagato couldn't make a decision.

But soon, Yahiko helped him make a choice. Yahiko ran into the Kunai in his hand with a smile.

Even though he was dripping with blood, Yahiko was still smiling and telling him with a smile. "You must live on with Konan. You are the savior of this world. Maybe if it were you, you could really..."

Before he finished his words, Yahiko died and fell to the ground.

At that moment, Nagato lost reasoning and went berserk! He desperately tried to kill Hanzo.

However, Hanzo was powerful and fast. The experienced Hanzo could tell at a glance that Nagato was not to be trifled with, so he directly ran away.

"This time, I will not let you run away again!" Pain said coldly.

In the past, Hanzo killed Yahiko. Today, he would use Yahiko's body to kill Hanzo!

Since Pain had already gone after Hanzo, Nagasawa was no longer in a hurry. He just followed Pain slowly with Musashi.

He was thinking about whether he should have Whitebeard die later.

Even his acting, which was full of holes, raised his fusion rate like crazy. It was now at 82%, rising up to ten percent!

At an 80% fusion rate, it required 30,000 points to raise the fusion rate by 1%.

Even if stopped now, he would be able to reach a 90% fusion rate before the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack.

The total points he had now were 130,000, and he only needed 110,000 more points to raise the fusion rate to 90%.

Of course, the more points he got, the better. In addition to raising the fusion rate of the next template he'd get, points could also be used to increase his strength. However, compared to the template, it was not worth it.

Nagasawa thought about it and decided to have Whitebeard die in the battle with Hanzo.

It was more in line with the Summit War of Marineford and Whitebeard's end, which should increase his fusion rate even more.

When Nagasawa and Musashi arrived, Pain and Obito were currently fighting intensely with Hanzo. There were many corpses of Ame Shinobi around them.

Hanzo, who was wearing a respirator, stood on top of his summon, Ibuse, with a sickle attached to a chain in his hand.

"Let me go! Nothing good will come out of it if this continues." Hanzo persuaded the two of them.

"You should have expected this day to come when you first lure Akatsuki into a trap!" Pain said coldly.

Hanzo must die today, no matter what. No one could stop him!

"Even that legendary Hanzo is, looks like you're getting old too. You actually begged the young man to let you go." Nagasawa walked out and said with a pitiful expression.

Looking at Nagasawa, who was unusually tall and muscular, which did not fit his age, Hanzo frowned and said, "And who are you?"

"Edward Newgate." Nagasawa gave him his name out of courtesy.

As the legendary Shinobi who dared to start a war against three big countries, Hanzo at least deserved to know his name.

"A name I have never heard of." Hanzo shook his head.

He had indeed never heard of this name before because Mitsutoshi had used the nickname Whitebeard when he reported to him.

Because Mitsutoshi did not know Whitebeard's actual name, Hanzo only knew Whitebeard.

"Gu ra ra ra ra." Nagasawa laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. You only need to know that I am a remnant of the old era like you."

"A remnant of the old era? That would be appropriate..." Hanzo suddenly discovered that he certainly didn't belong in this era anymore.

"How about us, two remnants of the old era have the battle to end everything?" Nagasawa certainly sounded like he was just giving a suggestion, but his Color of Supreme King Haki deterred them.

Pain wanted to say something, but Obito flashed to Nagato's side and whispered something to him. Pain then fell back obediently.

"Musashi, step back a little!" Nagasawa asked Musashi to retreat so as not to be affected by the battle.

Nagasawa had to be a little more serious when fighting someone of Hanzo's level.

If it were Hanzo from ten years ago, he might have to use more than 80% of his strength.

However, facing the current Hanzo, who had already begun to age and lost his confidence, he only needed to be a little more serious.

The reason why Obito and Pain were unable to quickly take down Hanzo was that Pain had only his Deva Path now, and his abilities were not as powerful as they were in the future.

Obito was no different. In fact, Obito was only 15 years old this year.

They were strong enough to be able to reach Kage-level at such a young age.

Even the current Kakashi still had ways to go from reaching Kage-level.

However, the current situation of Obito was somewhat similar to that of Minato. It only took them seconds to defeat a weaker opponent, but they couldn't win that quickly against someone at their level.
