In a place unknown to everyone in the Multiverse, Pain, who had returned to the Akatsuki Organization, stood before many members, his face devoid of expression as he said, "Now that I have won, our plan should be completed."
Seeing their leader return, everyone seemed very happy, smiling and speaking cheerfully.
Kisame opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and said, "Does this mean our plan to control the entire world is about to be completed so simply?"
Hidan's eyes were filled with greed: "With so much money, I will definitely be able to meet Lord Jashin."
Deidara smiled and said to Hidan, "Don't be naive, there's no such thing as Jashin or not Jashin. I wonder if there's a God of Art, though."
Seeing the members of the organization so excited, Pain said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, the UP Host said that he would not fulfill evil-sounding wishes like world domination."
The previously excited group felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, and their smiles instantly vanished.
"So, don't get so excited and rush over to me. I will think about the wish slowly." Nagato did not want to reveal his identity yet, so he sent away the gathered crowd.
Hidan sighed helplessly, "Ah~ it seems I won't be able to see my Lord Jashin."
Uchiha Itachi still looked coldly at Kisame and said, "Let's go first."
Kisame also didn't waste words. Since Pain hadn't thought of a wish yet, urging him was useless. He carried Samehada and returned to their original place with Itachi.
The other few, seeing that the two had left, also departed with their partners, but Hidan kept complaining about "Jashin" and similar things.
Now only Konan and Pain remained. After confirming that everyone had truly left, Konan looked at Pain with tears in her eyes and said, "Yahiko, the three of us will soon be reunited."
Nagato, hiding underground, quietly took out the tablet given by the System. He didn't want anyone else to know his plan.
Using such a device to private message someone for the first time made Nagato feel a bit unaccustomed, but he still wrote: "Group Leader, I hope you can keep my wish a secret for me. It's best if no one knows."
Shinji, lying on his bed, knew who had messaged him as soon as he heard the notification sound. After a glance, he calmly replied, "No problem."
Upon hearing Shinji's agreement, Nagato excitedly shouted, "Revive, Yahiko!"
Instantly, a golden light scattered over Deva Path Pain. Moments later, the black rods on him gradually fell off, and his indifferent face seemed to become a little more youthful.
When all the black rods on Pain disappeared and his eyes returned to those of a normal person, Yahiko, the one who had caused them countless sorrows, was finally revived.
Konan trembled with excitement, controlling her slightly sobbing voice as she asked, "Is that you, Yahiko?"
The revived Yahiko looked confusedly at the unfamiliar surroundings and Konan, who was wearing the Akatsuki cloak, and said with a slight choke, "Konan, Nagato revived me, right?!"
He knew that his best friend had absolutely not forgotten him. While in the underworld, he had seen his own corpse somehow become like that to participate in the Multiverse Battlefield, but after a moment of thought, he guessed that it might have been Nagato's doing.
And now that he could be revived, it was definitely because Nagato hadn't forgotten him.
Seeing Konan's tear-filled eyes, Yahiko understood her feelings, then asked, "By the way, where's Nagato? Where is he now?"
Hearing Yahiko wanting to see Nagato, Konan wiped away her tears and said, "I'll take you to him now."
Along the way, Yahiko and Konan chatted about what had happened over the years. Yahiko also marveled at how Nagato had managed to recruit so many people to form the Akatsuki Organization after his death.
Upon arriving underground, Yahiko, who had a smile on his face, instantly froze when he saw Nagato's weak, seemingly disease-ridden appearance.
"Nagato…"
Yahiko's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't understand why Nagato had become like this, but he knew that Nagato must have suffered a lot over the years. He no longer looked like a young man; what was the difference between him and an old man in his twilight years, apart from his appearance?
Seeing that familiar figure, Nagato coughed twice and said, "You're finally back, Yahiko."
...
"Ding, reward has been issued. Now giving host rewards."
"Mhm, mhm." Shinji stretched. Now that the System was giving out rewards, he wasn't as excited as the first time.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Super Shinra Tensei and unlimited Chakra."
Although he had acquired so many powerful skills now, to be honest, Shinji didn't really need them. Perhaps someday in the future, if a new Rider needed his strength, he might be able to help.
Currently, Shinji relied on Shadow Clones to help him go to work every day, while his main body streamed at home.
… …
The next day, Shinji, after a good night's sleep, opened his favorite shop again. The third live stream earned him 15 million Battle Points, plus the original 16 million, for a total of 31 million Battle Points.
However, for now, it was time to start the fourth round of the Multiverse Battlefield.
Shinji saw that as soon as he woke up, two groups from different worlds were constantly arguing in the group chat, while people from other worlds occasionally popped in.
Kaido of the Beasts: "You Marines have lost two rounds in a row and still have the nerve to want to participate again. Don't disgrace our Pirate World."
Iron Fist Garp: "Kaido, do you think you're guaranteed to defeat those people from the Naruto World?"
Although his side's record wasn't good, Garp wouldn't let these pirates ride over their heads.
Sanji, Guardian God of Beauties: "Seriously, I just woke up and saw 99+ messages. I thought some goddess had fallen for me, but it turns out it's you idiots causing trouble."
Charlotte Linlin: "Mama~ I think you Marines should just change your name to Sea Dogs."
Sasuke: "Who should we choose to go on stage from our side?"
Naruto: "Of course, it's Grandpa First Hokage! With him, no matter who the Pirate World sends, we'll win."
… …
Seeing how excited they all were, especially the people from the Pirate World who looked like they wanted to swallow a blue pill and cross the screen to slap the other side, Shinji couldn't help but sigh.
"You still have thirty minutes. You should be able to choose someone to go on stage."
Pirate World.
Kaido revealed a cunning smile: "Good thing I was quick and bribed a bunch of people in the middle of the night to vote for me."
At Marineford, Sengoku, who wanted civilians to vote for him, found that they were actually voting for Kaido. He felt his mind go blank, not expecting Kaido to get a head start.
Soon, the Pirate World's chosen candidate was revealed.
In the other half, the Naruto World, people were arguing endlessly over who to choose to go on stage.
Tobirama wanted everyone to vote for his elder brother, Hashirama, but the revived Uchiha Clan came to the Hokage Office and found Sarutobi, demanding he pay the price for the events of that year.
But Sarutobi was still the Third Hokage. Ultimately, with Tobirama's mediation, he agreed to a bunch of their demands to calm the matter.
