Chapter 419: Nagato Takes on Two
"Opening with a Tailed Beast Ball? That's not very polite."
As the smoke gradually cleared, the battlefield came into view.
The Iwa ninja, startled like birds at the sound, turned toward the voice—only to be shocked by the sight before them.
A young man hovered in midair, his posture straight and unwavering. His red hair was striking, but what truly unsettled them were his eyes—peculiar pupils they had never seen before.
"Akatsuki's Village Head... Nagato?"
Even in the dim moonlight, Rōshi recognized him instantly. Nagato's appearance was too distinct to mistake.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why Nagato hadn't followed up with another attack.
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
"Unfortunately, there's no reward."
Nagato shrugged, his casual demeanor making it clear—he didn't see the Iwa ninja as a threat at all.
"Is this really the Nagato who defeated the Hokage?"
