"I am not a Jinchuriki, and the Tailed Beast Chakra was something I stole, just like how I can give Tailed Beast Chakra to others."
"Besides, didn't you also send people to investigate the Jinchuriki? You'll know with a simple check."
"Furthermore, I can help you deal with Uchiha Itachi, who is a Konoha mole, and also help you capture the Nine-Tailed from Konoha."
"Like you, I also have a grudge against Konoha. We are natural allies."
Hearing Feng Xu speak so convincingly, Pain and Konan couldn't immediately tell if he was telling the truth.
Moreover, the Feng Xu in front of them seemed to know a lot about them!
"Who exactly are you?"
"And what exactly is your goal?"
Although the Akatsuki Organization's members were a mixed bag, each with their own intentions,
the only one as mysterious and unfathomable as Feng Xu was Obito, who disguised himself as Madara.
And both of them wore masks, never showing their true faces!
"I've said everything I need to say. If you insist on fighting, you won't be able to stop me from escaping."
"But if that happens, you'll only lose a powerful ally and gain a formidable enemy."
"Besides, you should be starting to capture Tailed Beasts now, and our combat power is exactly what you need."
"You can accept people like Orochimaru and Itachi, so am I the one who frightens you?"
As he spoke, Feng Xu's eight fox tails, which blotted out the sky, reappeared behind him.
The golden-red light reflected on the uncertain faces of Pain and Konan.
"Indeed, he's another troublesome person like Orochimaru."
Konan turned to Deva Path Pain: "What do you think? Should we let him join?"
Deva Path Pain stared at Feng Xu for a long time before finally nodding.
"You've successfully convinced me."
"Rather than letting you be an enemy outside, it's better to keep you close."
"Even if something goes wrong, I can eliminate you immediately!"
Feng Xu chuckled softly and didn't argue.
Seeing this, Pain turned and walked towards their base.
"Hmph, follow me."
...Chapter 131: Uzumaki Sage Body and Senju Sage Body
Just as the Shadow Clone in Amegakure joined the Akatsuki Organization,
Feng Xu, who was in Naruto's consciousness in the Konoha hospital room, also received information.
Of course, it wasn't information transmitted after the Shadow Clone disappeared.
Instead, the Shadow Clone had been in contact with Pain long enough to obtain Nagato's Chakra information!
[Nagato]
[Total Blackening Points: 120,000]
[Rinnegan (Nagato's Basic Ability Version)]
[Blackening Points: 100,000 (Includes Nagato's ocular power and usable abilities) (Cannot be split for exchange)]
[Uzumaki Sage Body (Stackable)]
[Blackening Points: 10,000]
[Kage-level Taijutsu]
[Blackening Points: 3,000]
[Wind Release Ninjutsu...]
"Nagato actually has more than double the Blackening Points of Itachi?"
Feng Xu frowned after seeing the exchange list.
After all, the exchange requirements previously given by the system were basically determined by strength.
The stronger the power, the more Blackening Points required; the weaker, the less.
Although in the original story, Edo Tensei Nagato was sealed by Edo Tensei Itachi with the Totsuka Blade,
that was the result of the combined efforts of Itachi, Naruto, and Killer B.
Nagato was also completely controlled by Kabuto and did not truly unleash his full power.
So, it's certain he's stronger, but only marginally stronger.
Coupled with the fact that the Blackening Points required for each exchange by the system was also determined by strength,
Feng Xu had been saving Blackening Points for so long without exchanging for Taijutsu and the remaining Eight Gates.
He had hoped to exchange for a pair of Nagato's Rinnegan with four or five tens of thousands of Blackening Points.
But now, it was clear his hopes were dashed.
The Blackening Points required for the Rinnegan was more than double his estimate!
Originally, he thought that after saving up and exchanging, he would send people to capture Sakura, Iruka, and others.
Then, he would turn them into Six Paths puppets like Pain.
And either retain some consciousness, or he would actively perform with the puppets.
After pretending to be sealed, he would then raid Konoha and strike Naruto.
But now, it seems he can only find a way through Nagato and have him create them.
After shaking his head, Feng Xu then looked at the Uzumaki Sage Body.
"Stackable Uzumaki Sage Body?"
Feng Xu seemed to have thought of something.
He scrolled through the exchange targets and pulled up the option for Senju Hashirama.
[Senju Hashirama]
[Total Blackening Points: 900,000]
[Wood Release Ninjutsu]
[Blackening Points: 600,000]
[Super Kage Taijutsu]
[Blackening Points: 180,000]
[Senju Sage Body (Stackable)]
[Blackening Points: 100,000]
[Wood Release Sage Mode (Requires Wood Release Ninjutsu to absorb natural energy)]
[Blackening Points: 15,000]
[Nintaijutsu, Super Strength]
[Blackening Points: 4,000]
[Shurikenjutsu...]
"Sure enough, Senju Hashirama's is the stackable Senju Sage Body!"
"So, even though they both inherited the Sage Body, there are differences in the physiques of the two clans?"
Feng Xu recalled carefully.
It seemed that all Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were from the Uzumaki Clan's Sage Body!
And every Uzumaki Clan member who appeared had strong vitality!
But aside from Hashirama, who awakened Wood Release, among the Senju Clan,
others did not possess the powerful vitality of the Uzumaki Clan. Instead, they had extremely delicate and powerful control over Chakra!
For example, Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal, and the ancestral Super Strength that required extremely high Chakra control!
This also explains why Senju Tobirama was able to create so many forbidden Ninjutsu!
And his own Water Release was even stronger than the Mizukage's Water Release!
Hashirama could even perform Ninjutsu by simply clapping his hands and shouting, and whatever he called for would appear!
"So, both possess terrifying amounts of Chakra, one focusing on physical adaptability, and the other on physical control?"
Feng Xu felt that besides Taijutsu, he could also accumulate both types of Sage Body.
He couldn't afford Ashura's authentic Sage Body, but combining Senju and Uzumaki wouldn't be bad.
Of course, he couldn't afford Hashirama's either, but there was still Tobirama's and Tsunade's!
Perhaps combining the two wouldn't be worse than Hashirama cells, which ran throughout the entire story!
Anyway, the plan to exchange for the Rinnegan had already fallen through, so there was no need to hoard Blackening Points anymore.
And he himself just happened to have the Uzumaki Clan's Sage Body.
Without further ado, Feng Xu opened his personal panel, which he hadn't looked at for a long time.
[Blackening Points +36,000]
[Current Blackening Points: 66,000]
[Trust/Reliance Value: 78% (70%)]
After Feng Xu violently beat Orochimaru, he revealed Naruto's identity as the hero's son in front of everyone.
At the same time, he also had Minato appear and speak, exposing the conspiracy and other matters.
This increased his Blackening Points by a total of 36,000.
The Trust/Reliance Value increased unstably by 4% and stably by 5%.
It's just a pity that the Rinnegan required 100,000, and he was still short 34,000.
And for now, there were no more events like invading Konoha that could quickly accumulate Blackening Points.
Feng Xu, who never liked to hoard and couldn't save up even a single gacha pull in games,
shook his head and immediately began his retaliatory spending.
"System, exchange for Nagato, Itachi, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya's Kage-level Taijutsu.
Exchange for Nagato, Kushina, and Karin's Uzumaki Sage Body.
Exchange for the remaining four gates of the Eight Gates."
[Exchange successful!]
[Kage-level Taijutsu (Uchiha Itachi) -4,000]
[Kage-level Taijutsu (Nagato) -3,000]
[Kage-level Taijutsu (Orochimaru) -3,000]
[Kage-level Taijutsu (Jiraiya) -4,000]
[Uzumaki Sage Body (Nagato) -10,000]
[Uzumaki Sage Body (Kushina) -10,000]
[Uzumaki Sage Body (Karin) -5,000]
[Eight Gates: Gate of Death -12,000]
[Remaining Blackening Points: 15,000]
[Congratulations, Host, Kage-level Taijutsu has been upgraded to Elite Kage-level Taijutsu!]
