CHAPTER 141: [BONUS 2] COPYING SHINRA TENSEI

"Family..."

Nagato stared blankly at Haruki.

Haruki smiled at him, a sparkling light in his eyes. His smile was extremely warm, instantly dispelling the fear in Nagato’s heart.

’Haruki was also his family.’ Nagato said firmly in his heart.

To protect the people he cherished, he had to face his own power.

Nagato lowered his head, staring at his hands. He would use his own strength to protect those he cared about.

"Haruki, I won’t let you down."

In this world, Haruki was the person who trusted him the most, and no matter what, Nagato would do what he promised Haruki.

Haruki looked at Nagato with shining eyes. "Nagato, I believe in you."

[Ding!]

"And us!"

"Nagato!"

Yahiko and Konan said to Nagato.

The four of them exchanged smiles.

Haruki reached out to Nagato, smiling as he looked at him. "Don’t be afraid of your power, try it."

Yahiko and Konan both nodded at Nagato.

Nagato’s gaze swept over the three of them in turn.

He nodded heavily. "Okay."

Yahiko and Konan came to Haruki’s side. Although they encouraged Nagato, they were actually full of tension and fear themselves. They had witnessed the power of Nagato’s eyes before, a powerful force that surpassed their understanding.

Even Jiraiya said that Nagato’s eyes contained the power to change the world.

Yahiko and Konan nervously gulped.

The light in Haruki’s eyes never extinguished, he seemed full of confidence in Nagato. Of course, only Haruki himself knew that he was full of confidence in his own power. Although Nagato was strong, he was now stronger than Nagato.

Nagato took a deep breath. He nervously watched the gradually calming surface of the water in front of him. He raised both hands under the expectant gazes of Haruki and the other two.

Could he really do it?

Could he really achieve it?

Sweat beads involuntarily covered Nagato’s forehead.

He couldn’t help but turn back to look at Haruki.

Haruki nodded at him, his eyes full of trust.

Nagato’s lips curved slightly, and he looked back at the water.

He could definitely do it!

Nagato closed his eyes, and Chakra surged within his body.

Suddenly, he abruptly opened his eyes. Like the rippling surface of water, patterns spread in his eyes, emitting a light purple halo.

At the same time, an invisible force suddenly erupted from his hands.

The lake was violently pushed aside by an invisible wall, the water surface vibrated violently, and water droplets splashed in the air.

Nagato stared blankly at the scene in front of him until the water droplets wet his red hair.

"So... so amazing..."

After a long silence, Yahiko couldn’t help but murmur, Nagato’s figure reflected in his pupils.

Nagato’s surprise was no less than Yahiko’s. He looked down at his hands, had he really managed to cast it?

Nagato immediately looked at Haruki.

A big smile bloomed on Haruki’s face, and he gave Nagato a thumbs up. "Nagato, I knew you could do it."

A figure quickly darted past Haruki, like a joyful bird, pouncing into Nagato’s arms.

"That’s great!"

"Nagato! So amazing!"

Konan’s joyful voice echoed in the air.

"Nagato, now you’ve taken the first step, and your control over your power will get better and better in the future."

Haruki walked to Nagato’s side, patting his shoulder encouragingly.

Nagato pursed his lips, looked at Haruki, and nodded seriously. "Mm."

"It’s getting late, let’s go quickly. Otherwise, we’ll have to make do with another night in a cave."

Haruki looked at the increasingly dark sky and said to Nagato and the others.

Yahiko immediately jumped up, walked forward, and urged, "Let’s go! Let’s go! I don’t want to sleep in the wilderness. It’s so uncomfortable and I’m so hungry. I’m definitely going to eat a big meal when we get to town later."

Yahiko waved to Haruki and the others who were lagging behind.

Konan smiled and ran towards Yahiko.

Haruki and Nagato quickened their pace, following behind them.

Haruki glanced at Nagato beside him from the corner of his eye, then looked down at his own hands, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Very good, now he could also use Shinra Tensei.

When Nagato had used Shinra Tensei, he had been continuously activating copy. Given his relationship with Nagato, mastering all of the Rinnegan’s abilities was only a matter of time.

"Haruki..."

Haruki was immersed in the joy of possessing Shinra Tensei when Nagato’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Haruki immediately looked up at Nagato walking beside him.

Nagato looked at Haruki beside him, a curious light flickering in his eyes. "Is Haruki very happy?"

Of course he was happy, Haruki showed a brilliant smile and nodded. "Of course I’m happy. Because I feel like Nagato has grown up."

Nagato’s face flushed, and he lowered his head shyly. "I’m actually older than you... Haruki."

He was clearly Haruki’s older brother, but Haruki was always taking care of him.

Haruki: "...Don’t mind these details, Nagato."

Nagato was unusually difficult to fool at this moment, he stared at Haruki. "Haruki, I am the older brother."

I am your grandpa!

Haruki took a deep breath, smiling but remaining silent. He remained silent because he was afraid that what came out would be profanity.

Nagato nodded with a strong sense of responsibility, reinforcing his own perception.

That’s right, he was the older brother, and he would protect Haruki in the future and take on the responsibility of an older brother.

"Hey, Haruki, what’s the next town?"

Yahiko, walking ahead, his eyes darted around, then he turned back to Haruki and asked curiously.

Through the shared perspective of the crows, Haruki had already gathered all the information about the next town.

"Tateshina is a village located halfway up a mountain, and the foothills are rich in medicinal herbs and poisons."

Haruki told Yahiko and the others the information he had gathered.

"Oh! That’s amazing. Medicinal herbs and poisons..."

Yahiko stroked his chin, pondering. "Then shouldn’t this village be developing quite well?"

Haruki looked at Yahiko. Both medicinal herbs and poisons were consumables in war, so by common sense, Tateshina’s economy should indeed be developing well.

However...

The Land of Rain had no ninja protection before, which led to the constant plundering of Tateshina’s medicinal herb and poison resources, making it a place ravaged by war instead.

"You’ll know when we get there."
