Members of the Akatsuki Organization walked right into the trap, which counted as a major event in Konoha.
However, one of them, who was on the brink of death, was directly sent to the hospital, while the other, determined not to reveal anything, had to be interrogated by the Anbu after consulting Hatake Sakumo.
Originally, Hatake Sakumo instinctively wanted the Anbu to report to the Fifth Generation Uchiha Yoichi, but upon learning that Uchiha Yoichi was not in the village, he had to stop his training and head to the Hokage Building to handle this matter.
At this moment, Jiraiya just happened to return from Mount Myoboku. Hearing that Konan and Nagato had surrendered themselves, he was taken aback and quickly followed along.
Jiraiya first headed towards Konoha Hospital, as he heard that Nagato had been sent there.
After asking around upon arrival, Jiraiya headed to the third floor. After greeting the Anbu at the stairway entrance, he was allowed in; when he arrived outside the operating room, he saw Tsunade, Uzumaki Minami, and Nohara Rin walking out.
Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Tsunade, how is Nagato?"
"Not well. It seems he used some forbidden technique, as his life force is continuously draining. Even sealing technique can't contain it, and the Rinnegan is gone. It appears Uchiha Madara has already made this guy use the Six Paths Forbidden Technique to resurrect him...."
Tsunade shook her head and said. She had been summoned by Uzumaki Minami, but upon arrival, she found out there was nothing she could do about Nagato's condition.
This wasn't a disease or injury, but an ongoing loss of life force.
"Tsunade, is there really no way?"
Jiraiya asked again. Although Nagato's fate seemed sealed, he wanted to talk to him before he died.
"No, conventional medical methods can't cure him. Fortunately, his life force is strong enough to keep him alive until now.... Even with intensive care, this guy can't live beyond a month."
Tsunade gave her medical saint opinion but then paused and thought of Uchiha Yoichi's image before continuing, "Maybe Yoichi has a method. He should return in the afternoon or evening, but even if Yoichi has a method, it's unlikely he would save this guy."
"If you want information, can't you obtain it from his mind?"
After saying this, Tsunade shook her head. Upon hearing Konan's words from the Anbu, she almost laughed. That little girl was still too naive, trying to threaten Konoha with information.
She didn't know the Yamanaka Clan of Konoha could extract information from the brain, and that information regarding the Akatsuki Organization was nearly inferred by Konoha from the words of the First and Second Hokage.
Jiraiya shook his head upon hearing and said, "Only Uchiha Yoichi can heal Nagato... sigh, forget it."
"Let that guy be. He killed so many ninjas of Konoha, and now it's already benevolent enough."
After Tsunade said this, she left. If it weren't for Uzumaki Minami feeling something was strange and calling her over, she wouldn't have bothered to treat Nagato.
After Tsunade left, Jiraiya glanced at Nagato inside, whose life was being sustained with a pile of equipment. An Anbu was stationed in the room, watching. Jiraiya sighed and left.
Since he couldn't say the last words to Nagato, he might as well go see Konan; even now, Jiraiya felt a bit uncomfortable. Why did his good disciple end up like this?
Uchiha Yoichi was unaware of the village's affairs. To gather enough life energy for reviving Senju Hashirama, he found a forest abundant with beasts and turned half of it into a realm of death.
No life survived his pupil technique.
The more he used this pupil technique, the more Uchiha Yoichi felt that it might actually be the ability of the Divine Tree, or even more terrifying than the Divine Tree.
The more life energy accumulated in his hands, the more he felt a craving. The life energy felt purer than genetic primordial energy, and consuming it would surely benefit him greatly.
Uchiha Yoichi felt that if he developed a taste for devouring such life energy, he might end up consuming the entire planet.
But he didn't dwell on it. After gathering almost enough life energy for reviving Senju Hashirama, he returned to the village; if it turned out to be insufficient, he could use the Ōmononushi no kami pupil technique for a supplement.
Upon returning to the village, Uchiha Yoichi directly arrived at the Senju Clan Land. Today, Nawaki hadn't been tasked with a mission. When Uchiha Yoichi arrived, Senju Hashirama was sparring with Nawaki.
"Ah, brother-in-law is here...."
Nawaki hadn't finished speaking before Senju Hashirama, who hadn't held back, punched him, sending him flying over a dozen meters away, landing on the ground with a swollen face.
"Nawaki, you're such an idiot. Don't get distracted by other things during a battle!"
Upon seeing this, Tsunade scolded Nawaki, then proudly walked over to Uchiha Yoichi with a smile on her pretty face and asked, "Is it done?"
"Hmm, this should be enough, but resurrecting someone costs a lot. In the future, the village will need to manage tree planting, or else the Land of Fire might end up like the Land of Wind...."
After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, a green-glowing ball of life energy appeared in his hand, coalescing into a green sphere.
At that moment, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Nawaki, who was lying on the ground, got up and slowly approached. They saw the pure life energy in Uchiha Yoichi's hand and instinctively stared at it.
It was a biological instinct to crave, especially for Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, who were reanimation bodies, their craving for life far exceeded that of others.
