"Pipa Thirteen, what are you doing?" The one speaking was Pain, who had just returned carrying Nagato.
When Pipa Thirteen saw Pain approaching, his eyes instantly grew moist.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Clan leader… clan leader… have you come to save me?"
At that moment, in Pipa Thirteen's eyes, Pain seemed like a god descending from the heavens.
Pain, however, was filled with doubt—just what was wrong with this guy?
Pipa Juzang suddenly rolled over to Pain's feet and clutched his thigh tightly, sobbing, "Wuu wuu… Clan leader, you finally came to save me! Scorpion was killed by that boss!"
Sasori of the Red Sand, who was sitting up on the instrument table, looked confused. When had he been killed?
Yun Xiao also looked bewildered. Since when had he become a murderer?!
Nagato, carried on Pain's back, instinctively looked toward Yun Xiao, only to see both Yun Xiao and Sasori staring back at them with the same puzzled expressions.
Nagato felt speechless as he glanced down at the tearful Pipa Thirteen lying at his feet, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. Just what on earth had this guy been through?
"Nagato, why haven't you gone inside?" At that moment, Konan walked over.
Nagato said nothing, only continuing to stare at Pipa Thirteen lying on the ground.
Following his gaze, Konan also looked down, and her eyes landed on Pipa Thirteen, who was sprawled on the ground, crying miserably.
"What's wrong with him?" Konan asked curiously. Pipa Thirteen, usually calm and composed, why was he acting like this?
Hearing Konan's voice, Pipa Juzang quickly raised his head and said in terror, "We should leave right now! The owner of this shop isn't just terrifyingly powerful—he's also a super lecher!"
Nagato and Konan exchanged a look, both seeing the same confusion reflected in each other's eyes. They truly couldn't figure out what Pipa Thirteen had gone through…
Afterward, the two of them curiously looked over at Yun Xiao and Sasori.
Yun Xiao: "..."
Yun Xiao felt like his heart was being trampled by a thousand llamas in a frenzy. Saying he was powerful was one thing, but why call him a lecher? And not just a lecher—but a super lecher!
"Do I really look like a lecher?" Yun Xiao muttered, pulling out a mirror from nowhere.
"Hm, handsome features, a refined appearance… truly extremely good-looking! Definitely one-tenth as handsome as you, dear reader!" Yun Xiao sighed in admiration.
He truly couldn't understand. How could someone so handsome be called a lecher?
"Thirteen, what are you doing?" Sasori asked curiously.
Because of Yun Xiao's earlier interference, Sasori hadn't finished reattaching one of his legs. Thus, he could only sit up and ask.
Hearing Sasori's voice, Pipa Juzang quickly turned toward the sound, exclaiming in shock, "You're not dead?!"
As he spoke, Pipa Juzang wore an expression of astonishment while rushing to Sasori's side.
"Didn't I already say? I was helping him reconstruct his body…" Yun Xiao sighed helplessly, pressing his hand to his forehead.
He finally understood—this guy had completely misunderstood him. Honestly, with looks as handsome as his, how could he be a lecher?
Scratching his head awkwardly, Pipa Juzang muttered, "So I misunderstood after all…"
In truth, it wasn't entirely his fault. Just moments ago, Yun Xiao had been gripping Sasori's severed leg in a way that looked horrifying. Any normal person seeing that scene would have been terrified.
"Boss, when will you be able to heal Nagato's body?" Konan asked expectantly.
"Right away. Give me two minutes." Saying this, Yun Xiao picked up Sasori's other leg and attached it.
"This is a specialized dismantling tool. Without this tool, it's impossible to take apart your body properly." Yun Xiao quickly explained, worried that Sasori might think he was cutting corners with a sloppy job.
Hearing this, Sasori, who had still been a little uneasy, finally relaxed. After all, he had been worried that during future battles, his limbs might suddenly fall apart…
Curious, Pipa Juzang asked, "Sasori, how are you feeling right now?"
"Nothing unusual."
Pipa Thirteen then curiously poked Sasori's body, marveling, "As expected, you're mechanical!"
Very soon, Sasori's new mechanical body was completely finished.
He clenched his fist tightly, feeling the overwhelming surge of power coursing through him, and his heart surged with excitement.
With just a thought, blue flames erupted from beneath his feet, propelling him into the air like a rocket.
This sight left Pipa Thirteen utterly stunned. He could hardly believe his own eyes.
So it was true—the mysterious shopkeeper had not lied. He had indeed given Sasori an entirely new, far stronger body.
While adapting to his new body in midair, Sasori revealed a satisfied smile and nodded in approval:
"This is indeed far stronger than my previous puppet body!"
"Of course. Even though your body has changed, you can still use chakra freely," Yun Xiao explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Sasori immediately tried it out. A moment later, several transparent chakra threads extended from his hands, as fine and tough as spider silk.
Pipa Thirteen's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the chakra threads in Sasori's hands, unable to keep from exclaiming, "That's incredible!"
"Boss, can you treat Nagato's body now?" Konan asked again once Sasori's reconstruction was complete.
"Of course." Yun Xiao opened the door of the treatment chamber, motioning for Nagato to lie down inside.
Nagato controlled Pain to gently place him inside the chamber.
"Damn, Clan leader, where did you steal this skeleton from?" Pipa Juzang cried out in shock.
At this moment, Nagato's body was thin to the bone, with black rods piercing through him everywhere, making him look particularly horrifying.
Calling him a skeleton was not an exaggeration at all…
Hearing that, the corner of Nagato's mouth twitched. Still, he ignored Pipa Juzang's words and instead looked at Sasori. "Sasori, help me remove the black rods from my body."
Sasori nodded. "Understood, Clan leader."
One by one, the black rods were pulled out of Nagato's body. As they were removed, the Deva Path Pain he had been controlling collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Sasori helped Nagato into the treatment chamber. Seeing this, Yun Xiao immediately closed the hatch.
As the chamber sealed shut, a green liquid began to flow inside, gradually filling the entire space.
Lying inside, Nagato felt the warm fluid wrap around his body. A sensation of unparalleled comfort washed over him.
All these years, he had borne the burden of the Gedo Statue and the agony of the Six Paths of Pain, leaving his body completely hollowed out.
It was only thanks to his Uzumaki clan lineage—its abundant chakra and powerful vitality—that he had survived this long.
If it had been anyone else, they would have already died long ago from chakra exhaustion.
"Clan leader, what happened to you?" Pipa Thirteen cried out, staring at the collapsed Pain on the ground.
His face was filled with panic, not knowing what was going on.
Sasori gave a cold snort at Pipa Thirteen's reaction, clearly exasperated.
"Idiot."
From the very first moment Sasori had laid eyes on Nagato, he had known that Nagato was the true leader of the Akatsuki. Pain was nothing more than a puppet under Nagato's control.
With that, even Pipa Juzang, with his limited intelligence, finally understood why he had misunderstood the shopkeeper earlier…
