Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Chinya received orders from Danzo and joined the battle.

Sanshouo Hanzo, seeing Chinya preparing to move, immediately retreated back to Danzo's side, intending to observe the fight.

Chinya glanced at Nagato ahead, then at the massive Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, before forming hand seals with both hands.

"Earth Release: Sky-Dropping Cover!"

After completing the seals, a giant stone lid fell down from the upper dimensional hole and smashed directly toward the Demonic Statue.

The statue's enormous hand struck upward, shattering the stone lid into pieces.

Nagato controlled the Chakra Dragon as it attacked Chinya, attempting to drain his chakra in the same way.

Chinya swiftly dodged while forming seals rapidly with both hands.

"Earth Release: Sky-Dropping Clay!"

A large quantity of clay dropped from the upper dimensional hole, sticking onto the body of the Demonic Statue.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Chinya gathered chakra in his throat and spat out a wide range of flames toward the Demonic Statue, as vast as an ocean.

Nagato raised his hands slightly and uttered lowly, "Shinra Tensei!"

He repelled the flames heading toward him, Yahiko, and Konan.

Meanwhile, the Demonic Statue stuck with clay was baked by the fire until it became mud.

Sanshouo Hanzo and Danzo stared at the Demonic Statue.

Was it finally under control?

The next moment, cracks spread across the mud-covered surface before the statue burst apart.

Letting out a roar, the Demonic Statue brought its hands together and smashed downward toward Chinya.

Instantly, Chinya used the Shifting Body Technique to dodge.

The statue's hands hit the ground, instantly shattering and caving in the surface.

The shockwave sent Konan and Yahiko flying.

At that moment, Nagato had no time to worry about them—perhaps it was better if they stayed away.

Within the smoke, Chinya secretly formed a Summoning Jutsu seal.

When the smoke cleared, Chinya reappeared near Nagato, hovering parallel to the ground with his feet pressed against the cliff wall.

[Fire Release: Dragon Fire Singing Technique!]

Chinya exhaled four fire dragons toward Nagato, attacking from four directions simultaneously.

Nagato spread his arms wide.

[Blocking Technique Absorption Seal!]

Using the sealing absorption shield, he absorbed and nullified Chinya's four dragons.

Chinya crouched slightly.

[Thunder Breathing, First Form: Lightning Flash!]

Lightning erupted from Chinya's body as he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot toward Nagato.

Nagato's Rinnegan locked tightly onto Chinya.

His Rinnegan could see Chinya's movements clearly. Moreover, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Nagato possessed outstanding sensory abilities; even if his vision failed, he could still sense and locate Chinya precisely.

[Shinra Tensei!]

At the very moment Chinya was about to slash his blade at Nagato, a powerful repulsive force surged forth, blasting Chinya backward.

Chinya slid along the ground for quite a distance before barely coming to a halt.

Gasping heavily, Nagato struggled. In fact, controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for the first time had been extremely exhausting.

Combined with Chinya's relentless and fierce attacks, Nagato was already nearing his limit.

Chinya turned his gaze toward Konan's position, his pupils narrowing.

Because Yahiko was gone, no longer beside Konan.

And Konan herself was frantically searching for Yahiko's body, but the Rain Ninja and Root Division shinobi had already launched their attack. Forced to abandon her search, Konan had no choice but to block the incoming strikes.

Nagato frowned tightly as he stared at Chinya, who was preparing to attack again not far away.

If this dragged on any longer, both Nagato and Konan would die here.

He couldn't afford to die here.

Yahiko had told him to survive at all costs—and protect Konan.

His ideals also needed to be fulfilled.

Before severing the Black Receivers linking him to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Nagato issued a final attack command to the statue.

Then he forcefully snapped the chakra black rods.

The statue spat forth two chakra dragons, aiming them at Chinya. Enduring the sharp pain in his legs and the exhaustion from overusing his body, Nagato rushed to Konan's side.

[Shinra Tensei!]

Nagato repelled the surrounding Rain Ninja and Root Division attackers targeting Konan. After coughing violently twice, he said, "Konan, we need to get out of here now."

With regret in her heart, Konan cast one last look around. Not seeing Yahiko's body, she had no choice but to support Nagato as they fled.

As Chinya dodged the chakra dragons, he tried to chase after Nagato, but was once again blocked by the Demonic Statue.

Nagato and Konan successfully escaped, while the Demonic Statue dissolved into mist.

Chinya exhaled softly.

To tell the truth, if Nagato and Konan hadn't finally run away, under Danzo's observation, he would've been forced to kill them.

From start to finish, Chinya had held back his full strength.

Because in Chinya's eyes, if Nagato died right now, it would be very troublesome.

The System had stated that certain Grand Events were destined to happen.

So, if Nagato died, someone else would definitely replace him, taking up the responsibilities Nagato was meant to fulfill.

Rather than having an unknown replacement, Chinya preferred that person remain Nagato himself.

Because if it was Nagato, Chinya could plan ahead using memories of future events.

Besides...

Right now, Yahiko was already in Chinya's hands.

When Yahiko and Konan were blown away by the shockwave earlier, Chinya had used the Summoning Jutsu to call forth the White Snake, letting it swallow Yahiko and return to Ryuchi Cave.

Since Chinya would eventually leave Konoha, he also needed to identify some potential allies for the future.

Though Chinya didn't yet know Yahiko's true strength, he understood how important Yahiko was to Nagato.

Chinya believed there might be room to reach some kind of cooperation with Nagato through Yahiko.

But that depended on whether Yahiko was still alive right now.

Moreover, Yahiko must not interfere with Nagato's plans—or else he'd have no choice but to discard him.

...

Chinya returned to his position behind Danzo.

"Sorry, Danzo-sama. I failed to kill him."

Danzo waved his hand. "It's not your fault."

The Demonic Statue had deeply unsettled Danzo, and Nagato's eyes left him deeply disturbed. This was also the first time Danzo had seen Chinya fight.

In Danzo's eyes, Chinya had done an outstanding job. If they'd had better intel on Nagato, Chinya might've already taken him down.

Danzo looked at Sanshouo Hanzo and asked, "Who is that red-haired young man?"

Sanshouo Hanzo replied, "I don't know much about that kid either. This outcome came as a surprise to me."

Danzo said seriously, "The Akatsuki Organization has been neutralized. As for our cooperation, I've completed my part."

Sanshouo Hanzo nodded. "I understand. I'll fully support you from now on."

Danzo turned to the remaining living Root Division ninjas and ordered, "Handle the aftermath immediately, then assemble and follow me back to Konoha!"

The surviving Root Division ninjas began securing the battlefield and retrieving their fallen comrades' bodies.

Sensor Ninjas could detect memories. These deceased Root Division members carried many Root Division secrets, so their bodies couldn't be left behind carelessly.

After finishing up, Danzo led everyone out of Amegakure and headed toward Konoha.
