Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu-Chapter 1000: Even Naruto Couldn’t Stand It
Taking advantage of Nagato's absence, Orochimaru quickly resealed Yonbi and immediately went to the 'dead tree' to study the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"It's truly magnificent."
Orochimaru circled around the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then took out the Kusanagi Sword and cut off and packed up some of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's edges to take back for research.
"Tobi, since the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is Jubi's body, can it also be sealed into one's body?" Orochimaru suddenly realized an important point.
"Of course, but I advise you not to waste your effort. Even if you seal it, Nagato, with the Rinnegan, can summon it back anytime." Tobi said with a smile.

"From what you said, it seems there is a close connection between the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Rinnegan." Orochimaru keenly observed.
"Are there?" Tobi doesn't understand this.
Orochimaru sneered and didn't ask further, silently climbing up and down the 'dead tree', entering and exiting, it is unknown what he's researching.
About half a day later, a paper river flowed into the underground space.
'They're here!'
Orochimaru flickered to Yonbi's Jinchuriki side, and when he looked up, he saw the paper river meandering, twisting and occupying most of the underground space.
There are two people on the paper river, one is Konan with her paper wings flapping, and the other is Nagato, who is sitting on a wheelchair.
The moment Nagato appeared, Orochimaru activated his Sharingan and stared intently at him.
'Dry and dull red hair, skinny cheeks, thin body.'
'Nagato's whole body seemed to be sustaining the Rinnegan, the only thing glowing with life.'
At first glance, Orochimaru saw as if Nagato is using his body as a nourishment to sustain Rinnegan!
"Orochimaru, hand over Yonbi!" Konan flapped her paper wings, and countless paper pieces filled the air, sweeping toward Orochimaru.
"Hehehehe."
Orochimaru sneered and formed a seal, "Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"
Bang!
Countless iron sands converged in front of Orochimaru, transforming into countless shuriken which shoot out and collided with the paper pieces.
After stalling Konan's attack, Orochimaru immediately formed hand seals and slammed his palms onto the ground, "Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"
Boom!
The ground cracked, and numerous massive tree roots grew wildly, quickly turning into gigantic trees that filled the large underground space!
Konan didn't dare to confront it head-on and immediately turned into countless paper pieces, floating at the top of the space. As for Nagato, he was already wrapped in numerous thick branches.
Orochimaru stood on the top of the tree, staring at Nagato with his Sharingan, while spreading the sense, firmly sensing Nagato's aura.
"Orochimaru, you are too presumptuous."
Nagato's eyes widened sharply, "Shinra Tensei!"
Boom…
A violent repulsive force suddenly transformed into an invisible wall of air, sweeping across in all directions. Everything in its path, branches, leaves, trunks, roots, all shattered and broke, like willows in the wind, powerless.
Orochimaru was also repelled by this force, sliding backward involuntarily, but a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.
At that moment, he sensed that Nagato's aura had indeed weakened a bit.
'Rinnegan is indeed draining Nagato's life force!'
'Although Zetsu must have concealed some important information, for now, I can't transplant the Rinnegan, otherwise…' Orochimaru's eyes sparkled and he said, "Nagato, we will meet again."
With that said, Orochimaru stepped on a tree trunk and said, "Tobi, go."
"Understood!" Without saying anything further, Tobi tighten his swirling mask and then sank into the tree trunk, quickly disappearing.
"Nagato, are you okay?" As soon as Orochimaru left, Konan reappeared from the paper pieces, then come to Nagato's side.
"I'm fine, it's just…"
Nagato frowned as he looked at the pile of flesh on the ground, "Something is wrong."
Konan immediately went over to check the flesh and nodded, "Nagato, Yonbi is indeed here."
"That's not what I mean!"
Nagato said solemnly, "Orochimaru didn't use his full strength just now. It seems he was trying to confirm something."
"Could it be... he's trying to confirm your physical condition?"
Konan's face changed slightly, "It must be Black Zetsu who leaked your information about your body!"
'My body…' A sudden realization flashed through Nagato's mind!
"So that's how it is! No wonder Orochimaru abandons Yonbi so easily!"
Nagato said coldly, "He wants to wait until I've collected all nine tailed beasts, and when my body reaches its limit, he'll make his move. That way, he can get both Jubi and the Rinnegan! Hmph, if there's no surprise, Black Zetsu, who colluded with Orochimaru, will soon provide information on Gobi, Rokubi, and Nanabi to me... those two traitors!!"
"Nagato, what should we do?" Konan asked worriedly.
Given Nagato's current physical condition, even if he managed to collect all nine Biju Beast despite all the factors, his body would likely reach its limit. At that point, even a regular Shinobi could take him down, let alone Orochimaru.
"We can only take it one step at a time."
Nagato closed his eyes and said, "Let's seal Yonbi first."
"Now?" Konan asked in surprise.
Nagato nodded, "Since we know Orochimaru and Black Zetsu's ultimate goal, they won't make a move against us until we've collected all nine Biju."
As they spoke, mental projections appeared one after another.
…
Meanwhile.
In the small town, Kakashi is still working hard for the Yin Seal.
He had pleaded with a sense of righteousness, leveraged his status as Jiraiya's grand-disciple, and even knelt before Tsunade's door all night to show his sincerity. Unfortunately, Tsunade remained unmoved. Her heart is as hard as iron, indifferent to Kakashi's persistent attempts.
Seeing Kakashi's humble demeanor, even Naruto couldn't stand it anymore!
"Kakashi-senpai, if Granny Tsunade doesn't want to teach, then just forget it. Why are you being so submissive?" Naruto said, feeling disappointed by Kakashi's action.
After all, Kakashi is his father's student. If Kakashi was disgraced, it meant his father was disgraced, and by extension, Naruto himself was disgraced!
Kanpū looked at Naruto and sighed quietly, 'Why is it so difficult to be a licking dog?'
"Naruto, you don't understand." Kakashi said weakly. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be like this either!
"Why don't I understand, I…"
Naruto wanted to continue, but Karin couldn't hold back any longer, "Naruto, how can you have the nerve to talk about Kakashi-senpai?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Naruto was not convinced.
Karin didn't explain further. She simply pointed to the door and shouted, "Ah, Sakura is here!"
"What?!"
Naruto instantly turned into a licking dog, his previous tough expression turning into a groveling smile that made him look even worse than Kakashi, as he turned to look at the door.
However, there was no one at the door.
The licking dog smile on Naruto's face immediately froze on his face.
But before he could get angry, Karin already rushed over quickly, and took out a mirror and held it in front of Naruto.
Naruto took a look at the mirror, 'Huh, this expression... isn't it the same as Kakashi-senpai's... uh…'
Naruto's face immediately turned as black as coal.
Karin stifled a laugh and said, "Naruto, think about yourself before criticizing others."
"Damn it, Karin! Do you want to fight?" Naruto, embarrassed by having his licking dog behavior exposed, was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach her a lesson.
"Ah, Sakura is here." Karin said again, pointing at the door.
"Bastard, do I look like an idiot? How could I fall for the same trick twice…"
Naruto's mouth was yelling aggressively, but his body obediently turned around again, and this time he really saw his dream girl, "Sakura-chan~~~"
