Not long after Naruto arrived, Konan descended from the sky and took him to treat Nagato.

The two walked through an underground base that had only recently been completed.

This was the highest-level shelter, designed by Sasori and Deidara according to Konan’s specifications.

"Konan-nee..."

"What exactly happened?"

"Everything was fine, so how did things suddenly go wrong?"

Konan walked ahead, her tone full of helplessness.

"Half a month ago, our Akatsuki’s hideout was attacked again."

"I suspect it was the traitor Uchiha Itachi who exposed our location."

Bang…

When Naruto heard that this traitor had done such a thing, he was so angry that he punched the wall, leaving a small dent.

"Damn it!"

"That damn traitor!"

"Don't worry, Konan-nee! I’ll teach that traitor a lesson later!"

Konan paused in front of him and glanced at the dent in the wall, her heart was already bleeding.

She turned to look at this loyal member of the organization, nodded with satisfaction, and then said hesitantly, "Ichigo..."

"Be gentle... This shelter cost a lot of money to build."

"Sorry, sorry."

Naruto laughed awkwardly, thinking to himself, ‘It was really difficult for Konan-nee. It seems I need to find an opportunity to give Kakuzu some money later.’

It wasn’t that he couldn’t give money directly to Konan, it was just that Kakuzu was very professional and never questioned the source of gold bricks.

If he gave it to Konan...

Naruto was worried that she would become suspicious of him, thus exposing his identity as the Kyubi’s Jinchuuriki.

"Wait..."

"That doesn’t make sense. If it was just an attack... how could Leader be so easily hurt?"

Naruto felt that there were only a handful of people in the entire Shinobi World who could defeat a healthy Nagato.

If he was critically injured just because of a sneak attack...

Wouldn’t that make the cheat, Rinnegan, seem a bit underwhelming?

Konan fell silent for a long time, then sighed and continued walking forward. After a while, she said in a low voice, "No..."

"It’s mainly because too many villagers died..."

"Nagato used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique again to resurrect everyone."

Naruto scratched his head in confusion, his expression extremely strange.

‘Senior Brother...’

‘Don't be too outrageous!’

‘Madara didn’t give you the Rinnegan just so you could use it like a resurrection coin!!’

While Naruto was surprised, he was also a little happy about Nagato’s change of heart.

‘At least Senior Brother has finally embarked on the path of justice.’

‘From now on, if anyone dared to touch him, they’d have to get past me, Kurosaki Ichigo, first.’

Konan led Naruto through multiple security checkpoints before finally reaching Nagato’s room.

In the room, Nagato lay on the bed, emaciated and barely breathing, just like in the past.

If things continued like this, the Akatsuki’s members would probably be attending their leader’s funeral tonight.

"Sigh…"

"Konan-nee, help him sit up.”

Naruto sighed and pretended to take out two bottles of recovery potions from his pockets. After Konan helped Nagato up, he pinched his senior brother’s nose and poured the potions down his throat.

Ten minutes later, after drinking six potions, Nagato finally returned to normal.

Nagato slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Ichigo, he felt a slight disappointment.

"I’ve troubled you again."

"It’s nothing."

Naruto chuckled softly, and he suddenly found that his senior brother was quite easy to get along with.

"Nagato! You can't use that Forbidden Technique anymore!"

When Konan saw Nagato wake up, she immediately started scolding him, not caring that someone else was present.

"I can’t stand by and do nothing while people die in front of me!"

Nagato lowered his head and whispered softly, as if recalling his own helplessness in the past.

Seeing the two like this, Naruto tactfully excused himself, saying he had something to attend to.

Before leaving, he left behind a teapot-sized Hachibi. Nagato didn’t ask any questions and simply nodded in acceptance. Naruto then headed upstairs to find Sasori and Deidara.

"Cult Leader, what brings you here?"

When Sasori saw Naruto, he asked in a low voice. Yamato, who is standing nearby, also came over and stared at him curiously.

Naruto waved his hand at Sasori, signaling not to call him Cult Leader, as it wouldn’t do any good. Then, he quietly pulled Yamato aside and asked, "Yamato... what’s going on with you?"

"Why do you come here to work??"

Yamato smiled bitterly, wrinkles appearing on his youthful face.

It can be seen that the Konoha’s construction captain has really worked very hard over the years.

‘Could it be...’

‘That construction workers suffer in every world?’

"It's Jiraiya-sama......"

"He paid a huge price to convince Tsunade-sama to let me come here and help the righteous Akatsuki rebuild the village."

Deidara suddenly appeared and patted Yamato on the shoulder excitedly.

"Thanks to him, otherwise, our work wouldn’t have progressed at all."

"Hey, Yamato, why don’t you join the Scientific Truth Society with me?"

Naruto raised his foot and kicked out, then Deidara felt his body go limp before flying backward without warning.

Yamato shuddered slightly at the mention of the Scientific Truth Society.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time Deidara had tried to recruit him.

"Don’t mind that guy."

Naruto pulled out a tissue and wiped his shoes, then pointed at the empty construction site and asked, "Wait…"

"What exactly have you been rebuilding here?"

"Why isn’t there a single house in sight?"

Sasori and Yamato looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"The new Amegakure designed by Deidara and I can withstand any external attack."

"Even if Uchiha Madara comes, he would have to stand outside for ten minutes."

"And then?"

Naruto glanced at Sasori, who looked very much like a supervisor who came to check the progress of the project.

"And then... they had me use my Wood Release to assist."

"The two advisors said that the village would be built using metals..."

Yamato's tone was a little complicated.

At first, he had mocked Amegakure for being a shabby little village that didn’t need such extravagance. He wondered why not just use his Wood Release and be done with it.

Was all that really necessary?

But as a result...

That very night, they suffered a devastating attack.

But it’s normal to think about it. After all, the Akatsuki, which has saved the world many times, will definitely be targeted by evil villains.

‘No wonder Jiraiya-sama had sent me here to help.’

‘What a great honor!’

Naruto scratched his head, then started looking around to see if he could find a brick to beat these guys to death.

"Are you out of your damn minds?!"

"Using Chakra Metal!?"

"You wasteful bastards!!"

"Why don’t you just use Chakra Metal or Gelel’s Stones while you’re at it!"

The moment Deidara heard this, he scrambled up from the ground and rushed over in excitement.

"Is it really okay?"

"That’s exactly what I was thinking!"

Naruto: “…”

‘So that’s why!’

‘It was already half a month since the start of the rebuild, but not a single house is done.’

‘No wonder all the money I poured in got burned through by you two idiots!!’

"Actually, there’s another reason for the slow progress..."

Although there was no expression on Sasori’s face, he could still hear the hesitation in his tone.

"The main thing is, we have too few manpower."

Naruto rubbed his temples and sighed slowly, "I'll handle the manpower issue."

After saying that, his consciousness sank into the sealed space and he pulled out an Iron Golem.
