Naruto: Reborn with the Script & A Flying Thunder God Tagged to Hinata

Konan opened the five coffins and controlled floating paper fragments to transport the five Pains.

[Dance of the Shikigami] — this was Konan's ninjutsu. Her body dissolved into paper fragments, which she could manipulate midair—even using them to carry bodies.

The five Pains were brought by Konan to the meadow, laid out in a neat row, eyes closed.

Konan waited in silence.

...

Time passed, yet the five Pains remained unresponsive.

It was only then that Konan realized something was amiss.

She gazed into the distance. By all logic, Nagato should have already activated the five Pains for battle.

Why had there been no reaction at all?

"Nagato… is it that you couldn't bear to fight Master Jiraiya?"

Konan mused to herself.

Unbeknownst to her, the intense scene had stirred Nagato from his trance.

Wiping blood from his nose, Nagato wore an angry expression.

He never imagined Jiraiya would stoop so low—to disgrace Konan in such a way.

In truth, Nagato had no idea that it was Naruto who had asked Hinata to do this. Jiraiya knew nothing about it either.

If Jiraiya ever found out, he'd surely reprimand Naruto severely.

"Jiraiya—!" Nagato once again reached out to control the Deva Path.

Nagato's mind linked with the Deva Path once again, reasserting his control.

The Deva Path's eyes snapped open—and saw Jiraiya sitting nearby, eyes shut in mourning.

During the time when the Deva Path lay motionless, Jiraiya had approached.

Jiraiya gazed upon the Deva Path—it was unmistakably his former student, Yahiko.

Yahiko was a child of war, having endured immense suffering. Because of the wars, he met two other orphans—Konan and Nagato.

He was determined to learn ninjutsu, his goal was to bring peace to the world.

To study ninjutsu, Yahiko traveled great distances to find Jiraiya, eventually winning him over through sheer sincerity.

Thus, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato became Jiraiya's apprentices.

Together, Jiraiya, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato shared a brief but joyful chapter.

Later, after seeing they had mastered their skills, Jiraiya left them.

Little did he know, even after learning ninjutsu, they failed to bring peace to the world—and instead became seen as threats.

After mastering ninjutsu, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato gradually expanded their strength and influence until they were labeled as threats.

To eliminate this danger, Danzō Shimura of Konoha and Hanzō the Salamander, leader of Amegakure, joined forces to wipe out Yahiko's fledgling group.

Because of this, Yahiko died.

After his death, Yahiko's body was transformed into the Deva Path by Nagato.

Looking at the Deva Path's face, Jiraiya recognized it immediately—it was exactly the face of his beloved student, Yahiko.

Jiraiya sat beside the Deva Path, his heart filled with sorrow.

Jiraiya didn't know what Yahiko had gone through—but perhaps he didn't really need to know, because the ninja world was simply that cruel.

This was something Jiraiya had witnessed far too many times.

Tears had long dried from Jiraiya's eyes; he could no longer cry anymore.

Seeing Yahiko's body lying right beside him, overcome with grief, he could only clasp his hands and silently mourn for Yahiko.

At this moment, Nagato reconnected with Pain's Deva Path.

The Deva Path opened its eyes and immediately saw Jiraiya mourning Yahiko silently.

Nagato hesitated for a moment. He hesitated.

Seeing Jiraiya mourning Yahiko silently made it hard to launch a sudden attack.

He gave a cold chuckle.

"Heh heh... Why am I hesitating? Is there still some innocence left in me?"

Gritting his teeth in determination, Nagato raised the Deva Path's hand toward Jiraiya.

He was about to unleash [Shinra Tensei] at point-blank range to cripple Jiraiya.

But Naruto had already been watching from the shadows.

Naruto couldn't allow Nagato to harm Jiraiya right under his nose.

Naruto shouted, "Right now, Hinata-chan! Look toward Konan!"

With no shame whatsoever, Naruto was ordering his girlfriend to use her Byakugan to peek on another woman.

Tears streamed down Naruto's face as he thought: What kind of situation is this—having my wife spy on another woman? This feeling is just amazing...

This is to save the world, protect Master Jiraiya, and bring love and peace to everyone...

"[Shinra... Ten...]" The Deva Path was about to unleash his killing move when Konan's beautiful image flashed across his field of view.

The Deva Path's deadly technique was interrupted.

Jiraiya snapped out of it, no longer lost in grief, and quickly retreated.

Nagato became furious, shouting furiously, "Jiraiya mourning Yahiko makes sense—but there's no way he would do that! Then there's only one suspect left… It's Naruto!"

"It was Naruto who hacked into the Deva Path's field of vision, transmitting Konan's image onto the Deva's retinas."

"Uzumaki Naruto——"

Nagato was utterly enraged. Once could be forgiven, but twice? Unforgivable.

[Universal Pull!] The Deva Path activated the gravitational Ninjutsu, instantly creating an unstoppable pull centered on the Deva Path. Jiraiya was sucked straight toward the Deva.

Naruto gasped in shock, "Oh wow! That kid Nagato developed resistance so quickly? But you're still too inexperienced."

"Just watch what kind of show I'll put on for you."

At this moment, Nagato's vision was overwhelmed by visions of Konan's beauty.

Nagato completely ignored them, his anger reaching its peak. No matter how gorgeous those images were, they held no appeal for him anymore.

Meanwhile.

A three-pronged Kunai suddenly appeared beside Konan.

Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport himself next to Konan.

Konan stood upright, fixing her gaze upon Naruto.

"Ohhh...!"

Naruto smiled sheepishly.

Konan asked, "Why are you here?"

Arrogantly, Naruto pointed at her.

"You've fallen for it. I was just keeping you distracted."

Konan was shocked to discover she had actually been caught in the Shadow Imitation Technique.

"Cursed brat, Naruto! Bringing me to such a place—what do you plan to do?" Shikamaru, using the Shadow Imitation Technique, had successfully trapped Konan.

It turned out Naruto had devised a clever plan.

But this plan required Shikamaru's help.

Naruto first teleported back to Konoha Village using the Flying Thunder God Technique, located Shikamaru, and brought him along.

Then he flung a three-pronged kunai toward Konan's location.

Naruto would draw Konan's attention first, while Shikamaru used the Shadow Imitation Technique [Shadow Imitation Jutsu] from behind to control her.

Naruto shouted, "Nagato is remotely manipulating Yahiko's corpse! Right now, it's Shikamaru who's controlling *you*, Konan!"

Konan's expression remained blank, unfazed. She regarded the two of them with complete disdain, curious about what Naruto was really trying to accomplish.

But soon, Shikamaru provided the answer.

He began striking a series of exaggerated poses—like doing the splits and the full straddle.

Every time Naruto saw the positions Shikamaru made, he couldn't help but nearly sneeze blood from his nose.

Because under the control of the Shadow Imitation Technique, Konan was making the exact same poses.

In Nagato's eyes, it appeared as if a naked Konan was performing the splits.

Although Nagato could endure typical seductive scenes, this level of stimulation was simply too intense.

Pain's Deva Path once again lost control and collapsed weakly to the ground.
