Hidden Rain Village.
Pain once again stood atop the high tower, looking down at the residential buildings below.
Nagato personally mobilised his main body, using the Rinnegan's power, which was stronger than a puppet's, to externally break Satoru's seal.
He had retrieved the Pain puppets.
"Yo, that guy, is he that strong? It seems cooperating with you to change this world might be a bit difficult!" Vortex Man stood beside them, teasingly looking at Pain.
He hadn't expected that Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, would stumble at the hands of an ordinary Konoha Ninja, and a big stumble at that.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A breeze came from high in the sky, making their robes rustle.
Pain: "He is indeed an extraordinary Ninja. Although he doesn't have your proud Sharingan, his Genjutsu is no worse than the Sharingan.
As for not wanting to cooperate, you can just leave. I never asked for your cooperation; you're the one who latched onto me."
Pain glanced at him indifferently.
He didn't refute Satoru's ability; he had indeed been defeated.
Perhaps he was a genius from Konoha!
Jiraiya Sensei was right; Konoha's geniuses have never ceased to appear.
But next time, he wouldn't be allowed to escape so easily.
"Ah, I was just joking. We still need to cooperate. After all, if even you can't deal with that Ninja, others might not be able to either," Vortex Man said with a laugh.
The important thing was that there were too few physiques suitable for cultivating the Rinnegan.
As for 'no worse than the Sharingan'?
You know nothing of the Sharingan's power.
"Konan, has Zetsu collected any information on that guy?" Pain looked at Konan.
Konan took out a document: "Yes, but not much. Although the opponent is a Konoha Jonin, he's too low-key. Zetsu's attention wasn't on him. This is all just ordinary information."
Pain took the document: "He experienced the Third Shinobi World War, came from the Konoha Analysis Team, possesses excellent Mind Reading Technique, sensory abilities… excellent Genjutsu, currently the captain of the Analysis Team…"
A remarkably ordinary Jonin resume.
And no significant background.
"A civilian genius, huh? It seems Konoha has produced another figure like the Sannin or Minato Namikaze." Pain deeply felt the difficulty of changing the world, but he wouldn't abandon his ideals.
As long as they started with the surrounding small countries, raised funds to develop the Akatsuki Organization, established a Ninja Village-like organization that didn't belong to any country, and slowly encroached on the mission resources of the great nations, diverting their financial investment in Ninja Villages, eventually… the power of Ninja Villages would be unprecedentedly weak, and then…
"Comparable to the Fourth Hokage? He's not qualified enough. I've fought the Fourth Hokage and know his power and talent well. If he hadn't been eliminated by my plan, Konoha would be even stronger now." Vortex Man felt disdain for Pain comparing Satoru to the Fourth Hokage.
He recalled the battle in Konoha before; if not for the power of the Nine-Tailed and White Zetsu, he would have been defeated in a few rounds.
…
Konoha Main Street.
Everyone looked at the strange human walking on his hands, sending curious glances his way.
As for Satoru, who was being greeted, he was actually recognised and could only laugh awkwardly, "I have something else to do, I'll be going now."
He lifted his leg to leave…
"Satoru, I heard you completed another S-rank mission! That's amazing! Let's have a youthful and passionate battle!" Might Guy flipped up and stood, challenging Satoru.
Since he said that…
Satoru suddenly had an idea: "How about this, we won't compete in Taijutsu. We'll just compete in handstand laps. Let's see who can finish five laps around Konoha first."
With nothing to do, he had a fun idea.
Eh?
Might Guy's eyes gleamed. Satoru finally acknowledged his actions: "Yosh! This is youth!"
"Come on, let's see who finishes first."
Bang!
As soon as Might Guy finished speaking, Satoru transformed.
The handsome Satoru was a thing of the past. What was now before Might Guy was a red jumpsuit of the same style as Might Guy's, with a green bowl cut and a face similar to Might Guy's.
Satoru summoned a mirror, looked at himself, and was very satisfied.
"Alright, the fiery youth, handstand five laps around Konoha begins!"
He said, then went into a handstand, winking at Might Guy.
Might Guy was stunned, his finger trembling as he pointed at him: "How did you transform?"
"Are you still going to run? I'm ready. Are you afraid of losing?" Satoru mocked.
"Damn it, you ugly red youth, I won't lose to you." Might Guy disdained his taste; green was the colour of youth.
With the thought of winning, he also went into a handstand, his hands moving quickly, starting to run ahead.
"I will win against you, ugly red."
"What a joke, how can your humble green compare to me?"
"Yah-ha, green is youth!"
"My head is green too, I'm also a youth."
Da da da!
The sounds gradually faded away.
The onlookers finally burst into laughter.
That jumpsuit, and that delightful colour, it was too tacky, simply too tacky.
"I know that person. He seems to be the son of the former perennial Genin, Maito Dai."
"It's him, then it's not surprising."
"Who's the one in red?"
"Could be his brother."
"This taste…"
From then on, the residents had another legend of Konoha's Two Colours.
But only Might Guy was recognised; the identity of the red figure remained a mystery thereafter.
A world where only Might Guy was injured was achieved.
…
Don't even mention it.
Running shamefully through the streets with a mask on gave the impulsive Satoru a strange sense of exhilaration.
Oh my god!
Was this the mindset of those TikTokers in his previous life who wore Tiga costumes, high heels, and pole danced?
Oh, it felt good.
After a tense and exciting mission, doing something shameful in the village felt quite good, or rather, relaxing.
He was comfortable, but Might Guy next to him was already fuming.
Damn it,
This guy's red jumpsuit was too shameful, too tacky.
Might Guy felt the residents' strange gazes, feeling that today's youth was shameful.
He hadn't expected Satoru to be so tacky. A jumpsuit of that colour was simply hideous. Next time, he definitely wouldn't compete with Satoru. Such a tacky youth was better off without.
Heretic.
Might Guy questioned Satoru's red youth.
The red and green youth ran through the streets, and every resident they passed was dumbfounded.
Even the Uchiha Police Force, seeing them on patrol, didn't want to get close, feeling their eyes were being insulted.
"Damn it, if I lose to you, I'll do 1500 kicks and 800 push-ups today." To win, Might Guy immediately made a binding vow.
Satoru's hands were fast, running neck and neck with Might Guy through Konoha.
Frankly speaking, his Taijutsu was also T0-level in Konoha. This was in preparation for potential extraterrestrial enemies in the future, and he was already preparing to develop a unique Genjutsu of Phantoms.
Facing Might Guy, he had no fear.
Anyway, he wasn't showing his true face, so he didn't need to care about others' opinions.
Just as they passed a training ground, a suspicious voice rang out: "Hey, Might Guy, Satoru, what are you two doing?"
Click! Click!
Might Guy and Satoru instantly turned to stone.
To be discovered competing with such a tacky Satoru was too shameful.
Oh crap, after finally relaxing at home, I didn't maintain the information barrier against prying eyes and was recognised.
