In Naruto as Zhongli-Chapter 65: INAZ - 64

"I just said, I established a small village and need a financial controller," Shinji explained patiently.

"I'm not going. A small village has no future prospects. Can't even collect proper taxes," Kakuzu refused outright. Hearing Kakuzu's words, both Konan and the Deva Path Pain nodded in satisfaction.

"Our village will develop rapidly in the future. Meaning, our village's ability to make money will definitely not be bad later on," Shinji continued to entice.

"Do I look like someone who loves money?" Kakuzu asked back.

"Aren't you?"

"What about future development? What scale? How much profit? How much tax prepaid?" Kakuzu now instantly transformed into a professional financial expert, throwing a barrage of questions at Shinji.

"If Mr. Kakuzu is interested, we can sit down and discuss in detail. After all, the financial issues of a village, I think it's best for us to sit down and clarify things. But what I can promise Mr. Kakuzu is..." Shinji suddenly paused, building suspense. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Is what?"

"All matters concerning financial management within the village can be fully entrusted to Mr. Kakuzu. All expenditures or incomes requiring funds need your approval," Shinji directly threw out an attractive point.

"This..." Kakuzu fell silent for a moment. This proposal was undeniably attractive, especially for him. Being able to completely grasp the finances of a village, perhaps his ambitions could... Remember, although he handled finances in Akatsuki, many matters still required decisions from the Deva Path Pain or Konan. In terms of freedom, it certainly wasn't that free.

"This is a very generous condition. Mr. Kakuzu, consider it?" Shinji looked smilingly at Kakuzu. He could already feel Kakuzu's heart wavering slightly.

"Ahem, Boss Shinji, I find this request difficult to agree to. Please leave here. The Land of Rain does not welcome you," The Deva Path Pain extended his hand, chakra already beginning to swirl around it.

"That may not..."

"Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push)!" The Deva Path Pain clapped his hands together. A transparent Almighty Push shot towards Shinji's direction. This was one of the abilities of the Rinnegan. Centered on oneself, it repelled all surrounding objects and ninjutsu, causing damage. The first time the Deva Path Pain used this ninjutsu, he blasted Kakashi, who was holding the Chidori, away, and incidentally destroyed the Earth-Style Wall meticulously crafted by Kakashi in the shape of dog heads.

"Impregnable Defense." Following Shinji's whisper, a golden shield appeared around him. Faint, intricate patterns surfaced on the shield, and the skeletal frame of Geo chains formed around it, supporting the entire shield. Just as the Deva Path Pain's Almighty Push reached Shinji, the Jade Shield also happened to form.

Vwoom!!! The first confrontation between Almighty Push and the Jade Shield! One could absorb enemy damage and convert it into a shield, while the other could repel all opponent attacks. Attack versus defense, tension versus relaxation, an intense duel unfolded between them.

"What!?" A trace of disbelief appeared in the Deva Path Pain's eyes. Someone could actually completely receive the Almighty Push? And judging by his appearance, he seemed somewhat unfazed.

Bang!!! Finally, as the Almighty Push dissipated, Shinji took a very subtle step back. Almighty Push, after all, represented one of the highest levels of attack in this world. The current Shinji, relying solely on the Jade Shield, still found it somewhat difficult to completely receive it.

An opening? The Deva Path Pain narrowed his eyes, observing Shinji. Although Shinji's step back just now was relatively hidden, it was still locked onto by the Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan. Since he could force him back one step relying solely on the Deva Path Pain...

"Konan! Kakuzu! Attack together!" The Deva Path Pain looked at the two beside him, then intended to attack Shinji together. Konan directly followed, intending to advance. But Kakuzu hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and running forward. If you can survive the pincer attack from these people and me, then... maybe I'm not impossible?

Just as the Deva Path Pain followed Konan and the slightly delayed Kakuzu upwards, Shinji, at this moment, smiled unhurriedly.

"Chibaku Tensei (Catastrophic Planetary Devastation)!" Shinji chuckled lightly, then crossed his arms and stated calmly.

"What?" The three who were originally attacking Shinji instantly felt a powerful pressure from above. Looking up, their eyes instantly widened.

"Tengai Shinsei (Shattered Heaven)? How is this possible? He doesn't have the Rinnegan?" The Deva Path Pain, controlled by Nagato, said in astonishment. As the owner of the Rinnegan, he naturally knew this technique. But why didn't Shinji possess the Rinnegan at all? However, the current situation didn't allow the Deva Path Pain to think too much. Clapping his hands together, streams of transparent light erupted from his hands.

"Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push)!"

"Super Large Paper Shuriken!"

"Fukugō Ninpō - Enkaze Ranpa (Compound Ninja Art - Flame Wind Wild Wave)!" The three respectively used their most proficient techniques. Under the combined force of the three, Shinji's Heavenly Star was directly shattered in mid-air.

"Looks like this is still some distance away from Tengai Shinsei," The Deva Path Pain looked at the shattered Heavenly Star and stated calmly.

"Hehe, then how about trying this move?" Shinji chuckled lightly, then a card suddenly appeared in his hand!

"What?" The Deva Path Pain looked puzzledly at Shinji. He had never seen the card in his hand before. What exactly was this thing?

Just as everyone became puzzled, Shinji raised the card in his hand high. In that instant, a scorching blue-white beam of light seemed to appear in Shinji's hand.

"Scream! Tremble! Descend, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Although Shinji felt this summoning chant was really chuunibyou, there was no choice; this was the necessary procedure for using the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card.

Yes, the card in Shinji's hand was precisely the Blue-Eyes White Dragon obtained from the point lottery before! And Shinji had asked the system back then. Summon cards like Blue-Eyes White Dragon were single-use items, meaning once used, they would disappear after the summoning time exceeded. But this had an advantage: the existence time of the summon card was one hour. Meaning, during this one hour, Blue-Eyes White Dragon would accompany Shinji. O

f course, this Blue-Eyes White Dragon belonged to its peak moment. Whether in attack power or destructive power, in this world, it belonged to the absolute top tier of powerhouses! And Shinji himself had checked in the system.

To directly exchange points for Blue-Eyes White Dragon required a full 5000 points! Meaning, the summoning cost of this temporary card was actually the same level as the Bomb-Bomb Fruit Shinji exchanged for Deidara before. Of course, in terms of destructive power, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's destructive power could match the top-tier items. If it weren't for the limited usage count, this price would probably be even higher!

At this moment, the card in Shinji's hand instantly burst out with extreme brilliance. Instantly, pure white light enveloped the entire room. A Blue-Eyes White Dragon struggled out from the card in Shinji's hand and ascended.

Roar!!! The moment Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared, its blood-red maw suddenly opened wide, its ferocious white sharp teeth displaying its sharpness! At the same time, an extremely powerful aura directly enveloped everyone present.

"This... what is this thing?" The Deva Path Pain felt the terrifying sensation emanating from Blue-Eyes White Dragon. His whole person felt like being targeted by a powerful beast. This level of strange beast, even compared to the Nine-Tails, wasn't inferior, perhaps even much stronger!

"I originally wanted to resolve this matter peacefully, but Nagato, you still wouldn't cooperate," Shinji pushed off with his legs and landed directly on Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head. At the same time, looking down from above at the Deva Path Pain, Konan, and Kakuzu below.

"Does this look like you came over wanting to talk things over properly?" The Deva Path Pain had actually calmed down at this moment.

"Naturally. I just wanted to take someone back," Shinji didn't consider Nagato's thoughts at all, directly stating his purpose.

"Hehe, then let's see if Lord Shinji has the ability! Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull)!!" The Deva Path Pain pointed one hand towards Blue-Eyes White Dragon. An extremely powerful suction force surged towards them. And following the Deva Path Pain's Universal Pull, the ground around Blue-Eyes White Dragon changed. Large chunks of earth were pulled towards the Deva Path Pain. Blue-Eyes White Dragon also flapped its huge wings behind it to resist the Deva Path Pain's Universal Pull!

"Exploding Tags!" Konan coordinated with the Deva Path Pain's Universal Pull. Her body scattered like paper, sheet after sheet turning into exploding tags flying towards Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Hehe, since you want to test Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack so badly, then try it. Burst Stream! Burst Stream of Destruction!" Shinji waved his hand grandly, controlling the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beneath him. As Shinji's voice fell, Blue-Eyes White Dragon suddenly opened its blood-red maw wide. A Burst Stream of Destruction filled with annihilating aura instantly attacked the Deva Path Pain's position!

"Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull)!" Sensing the terrifying aura of the Burst Stream of Destruction, the Deva Path Pain quickly converted the suction force of Universal Pull into repulsion! The Deva Path Pain's thought was: since your attack is so powerful, then I'll repel your attack back!

However, when his repulsive force met the Burst Stream of Destruction, a state of stagnation actually occurred. Meaning, the output of both sides was basically equal! But, as Blue-Eyes White Dragon continued its output, the distance of the Burst Stream of Destruction slowly crept towards the Deva Path Pain!

"Nagato!" Konan said nervously beside the Deva Path Pain. Watching this scene, a different thought seemed to appear in Kakuzu's eyes.

"It's alright, Konan. The others have arrived," The Deva Path Pain actually relaxed as if breathing a sigh of relief.

"What?"

"Preta Path!" Just as Konan was stunned, a slightly plump figure with orange hair and Rinnegan eyes appeared before the Burst Stream of Destruction. Seemingly completely unconcerned about the attack of the Burst Stream of Destruction, that person extended his hand towards the Burst Stream of Destruction and whispered something.

As the Preta Path's voice fell, the Burst Stream of Destruction created by Blue-Eyes White Dragon instantly seemed absorbed, flowing bit by bit into the Preta Path's body. After absorbing the Burst Stream of Destruction, the Preta Path burped as if full.

As the Burst Stream of Destruction was completely absorbed, the light at the scene completely vanished. Still the dim environment, rain falling. And as this rain fell, the entire environment seemed even more depressing.

"Deva Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Naraka Path, and Preta Path... Didn't expect I just came over to talk, yet all Six Paths of Pain actually came. Nagato, you really think highly of me," Shinji's gaze swept across the faces of the several people who suddenly appeared one by one. Same as in memory, still those few people.

Looks like Nagato of this period had already completely made these people into the Six Paths of Pain! And Shinji didn't have any other meaning, directly pointing out the identities of these people.

"Looks like Boss Shinji really understands our affairs well," The Deva Path Pain stated calmly. These matters were originally confidential. But Nagato could now be completely sure that the person before him definitely understood matters on his side very, very well. He didn't know where this person got the intelligence from, to actually be so clear about his affairs. Some things, even Konan didn't necessarily know completely.

"Some things aren't truly secrets. Of course, for you, they are," Shinji looked at the assembled Six Paths of Pain, a trace of interest flashing in his eyes. With the Six Paths of Pain gathered, the actual combat power would double. Plus, with Konan and Kakuzu nearby as support, facing the Akatsuki at this combat strength, very few villages could really confront them head-on now.

"What else do you know?" The Deva Path Pain frowned. After all his people arrived, he originally thought Shinji would take the opportunity to leave. Unexpectedly.

"The things I know are quite numerous," Shinji chuckled softly.

"Just attack!" The Animal Path was already getting impatient, slamming both hands directly onto the ground.

Bang bang bang!!! Instantly, the Cerberus, Giant Crustacean, Giant Drill-Beaked Bird, Giant Chameleon, Giant Ox, Giant Rhino, Giant Panda, Giant Centipede, etc. summons appeared, roaring together at Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Of course, Blue-Eyes White Dragon wouldn't indulge them, directly spraying a Burst Stream of Destruction over. Instantly, more than half of the summons called by the Animal Path were destroyed. Seeing Shinji's power, a trace of interest flashed in Kakuzu's eyes.

"Attack together!" The Deva Path Pain snorted coldly. Several people instantly arrived around Shinji, completely surrounding Shinji and Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Then, several people respectively used their most proficient techniques, directly bombarding Shinji and Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[Ding!]

[Use Temporary Roleplay Card?]

Shinji looked at his system space, then directly clicked Yes!
