Chapter 266: Final Chapter Limited Monthly Reading
The night was dark and gloomy, with dark clouds overhead, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

On this gloomy night, even in the bustling imperial capital, there were not many pedestrians on the streets.

A tall building in the imperial capital was still brightly lit.

Through the transparent window, you can still see all kinds of staff working non-stop inside.

Jiu Xing yawned as he flipped through the information in his hand about engraving a sealing array on the human body.

Half a month has passed since the last meeting.

In the past half month, the research and development team headed by him has developed a set of materials for engraving the sealing technique on the human body at the fastest speed.

"Go to bed early after reading this."

"Everyone is very tired."

Xun brought a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Jiuxing, looking at the man in front of her with some heartache.

"What about the rest?"

Jiu Xing took the coffee, took a gulp, and his face couldn't help but look a little bitter.

“It’s so bitter…”

"Kushina and Minato are old, so they should go and rest."

"Others are still busy."

Xun took the coffee that Jiuxing pushed to him and drank it in one gulp without any disgust.

"..."

Hearing that Kushina and Namikaze Minato had gone to rest, Jiu Xing couldn't help but be slightly dazed for a moment, then quickly reacted and said:
"I'll go to rest after I finish looking at him."

"As for the others, let them go back early and start the experiment tomorrow."

Kushina and Minato are already in their early fifties…

Time flies by like a white horse, it's gone in the blink of an eye.

When Jiu Xing first met Kushina, she was only in her thirties, in the prime of her life.

But being able to stay with my lover until old age, even though there were some twists and turns in the middle, it was peaceful, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets...

Xun looked at Jiuxing like this and didn't try to persuade her any more. Instead, he sat aside and looked out the window.

The clouds outside the house were very thick. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into daylight at this moment.

What followed was a deafening roar.

That's how it is in summer, thunderstorms come without warning.

Above the clouds, the moon that should have been bright and clear suddenly emitted a scarlet glow. If it weren't for the dark clouds blocking it, this scene would have surely been discovered by someone with a keen eye.

—

A translucent figure slowly landed from mid-air onto the rooftop of a tall building.

The figure was wearing a black robe with red clouds and an orange vortex mask on his face. The eyes under the mask emitted an eerie scarlet light.

"Is this... Konoha?"

The mysterious masked man was speechless as he looked at everything unfamiliar before him.

"It seems that your technique is not very good."

With the mysterious masked man's one eye as the center, space distorted and a tall, red-haired man in his thirties appeared in front of him.

"This is a limited Tsukuyomi created by the combined power of the seven tailed beasts."

"It shouldn't be possible to go wrong."

"This is Konoha."

The mysterious masked man spoke with certainty.

"So where would Uzumaki Naruto be?"

The man's cold, rippled eyes calmly looked at the huge city under the thunderstorm. There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, and countless raindrops fell on him and quickly bounced away.

"..."

Seeing that the masked man didn't say anything, the man sneered and then strode away.

"Nagato, where are you going?"

The mysterious masked man, no, it should be said Uchiha Obito looked at the man and spoke.

"Of course I'm looking for someone."

"Do you think I can stay here with you in the rain?"

Uzumaki Nagato didn't even turn his head, his tone was cold and hard.

Seeing Uzumaki Nagato's attitude, Uchiha Obito stopped talking, his body twisted and disappeared on the spot.

—

Several people gathered in a brightly lit pub box, toasting each other in a joyful atmosphere.

"real or fake!"

"That kid Obito actually went to the Wind Territory Protectorate to open up wasteland?!"

Mei Terumi stared at him with her beautiful eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Although you've suffered a setback in your relationship, there's no need to run so far, right?"

"Really..."

Senju Yanyan, who was sitting next to Terumi Mei, helplessly held her forehead with one hand, then picked up the lavender wine in front of her and drank it all without hesitation.

The clear wine flowed down the corner of her mouth and across her fair neck.

This made Uchiha Shisui, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but take a second look.

"Obito-senpai seems to have suffered a severe blow and left the imperial capital two days ago."

Uchiha Shisui is a rising star among the empire's new generation, and is also someone who can play together with Senju Enen, Terumi Mei and others.

"He is really infatuated. This makes him suffer."

Asuma Sarutobi, who was standing next to Uchiha Shisui, subconsciously wanted to take out the cigarette from his pocket and light it, but when he saw Kurenai Yuhi next to him, he gave up the idea.

"That kid has always been so jumpy."

“It’s not surprising that someone could do something like this.”

A white-haired young man next to Mei Terumi took a sip of the wine in the glass and said.

"Speaking of which, Man Yue Ni and Ah Ming, when, um~~ you know~~"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Mei Terumi and Mangetsu Hozuki with a teasing look on her face, her ruby-like eyes full of gossip.

"I don't care. It depends on Ah Ming."

Man Yue Kizuna had a helpless expression on her face.

Mangetsu Hozuki and Mei Terumi are fellow villagers. Now that the empire has been established for such a long time, the two have become very familiar with each other.

"By the way, where are Kakashi and Rin?"

"We finally got together, but these two guys didn't come?"

Mei Terumi glanced at Mangetsu Kizuki beside her, her face flushed unnaturally, and she tried to change the topic elsewhere.

"Both of them?"

"They must be enjoying..."

Qianshou Yanyan continued to drink a glass of wine carelessly. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his eyes moving.

The pitch-black pupils turned into ripples in the stunned gaze of everyone.

"Yan, Yanyan, your eyes..."

Xiurihong stared blankly at Qianshou Yanyan.

Qianshou Yanyan covered his head with his hands, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Damn it...

The two old men are really unreliable. They always say that everything is fine. But it hasn't been long since the inexplicable Samsara Eye started to act up...

"No, it's okay..."

"I might, I might have to go back..."

Senju Yanyan endured the pain of the movement of the Rinnegan, thinking about standing up and leaving, and quickly finding Orochimaru or Senju Tobirama to solve the problem of the Rinnegan.

"Yanyan, I'll take you there!"

Seeing Senju Yanyan get up and leave, Terumi Mei quickly stood up to see Senju Yanyan off.

Senju Hanayan did not refuse. Among the people present, only Terumi Mei, who was a disciple of the previous monarch and Uzumaki Kyuyuki, knew about her eyes.

"Wait, wait, I'll go see you off too."

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui immediately stood up, picked up his clothes and chased after him.

Looking at the drinking party that was just full of laughter and conversation, three people suddenly disappeared, and the remaining people could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.

—

Rainy night
Uzumaki Nagato walked on this bustling street with a cold look in his eyes. For some reason, it seemed that there was a will guiding his direction.

He came to a residential area, and his eyes looked up at the lighted residential buildings.

He felt a familiar chakra, this chakra was...

"Uncle in front!"

"Give way!"

A childish boy's voice came from behind Uzumaki Nagato, and he turned around to look.

He saw a child of eight or nine years old, running towards him in the heavy rain with a schoolbag on his head.

The darkness could not block Uzumaki Nagato's sight, and he could easily see the red hair under the child's schoolbag. The child passed by him quickly, stepping on the rain, and then seemed to think of something, and then returned to Uzumaki Nagato, looked at him and said:

"Uncle, it's raining so hard, you should go back earlier."

With that, he ran away again.

Uzumaki Nagato looked at the child's back with a calm gaze. He didn't care much. He continued to look at the place where he felt familiar chakra.

The rain could not affect Uzumaki Nagato at all, as he walked towards the location of the chakra step by step.

The footsteps were very crisp in the darkness. Even the heavy rain around could not hide the person in the darkness.

Uzumaki Nagato came to the familiar place of chakra perception, and the warm light in the room came into his eyes through the window.

Uzumaki Nagato looked at the living room in the house through the window.

It is very warm, and the owner of the house cherishes the existence of this place called home.

Uzumaki Nagato looked through the window and saw a paper flower on the coffee table in the living room and a string of colorful paper cranes on the clothes hanger next to it.

Is it Xiaonan?

Is this so-called limited version of Konan in Tsukuyomi actually in "Konoha"?

Glancing at the decorations in the room, Uzumaki Nagato laughed at himself.

It's just an illusion world, why am I so sentimental?

The important thing is to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto as soon as possible.

Just when Uzumaki Nagato was about to leave, the door was opened.

The warm light shines into the rainy night through the door.

"Eh?!"

"It's that uncle just now!"

The red-haired boy looked at Uzumaki Nagato in surprise and spoke.

Uzumaki Nagato looked back, but he couldn't see the other person's face clearly because the other person was blocking his view with his schoolbag.

However, it was this one glance that made him freeze in place.

picture……

so similar……

This child looks exactly like Uzumaki Nagato. If it weren't for his amber eyes, Uzumaki Nagato would almost think that the other person was himself as a child.

Looking at the other person's amber pupils, an almost absurd idea came into his mind.

According to Uchiha Obito, the Limited Tsukuyomi creates a real yet illusory world based on what the person being cast thinks.

At that time, in order to give Uchiha Obito time to perform this technique and delay the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were trapped in this world together.

Could it be that this is what I was thinking in my heart?

No, this is impossible...

Konan likes Yahiko...

How could I...

"Yota, it's raining outside."

"What if your child catches a cold?"

A voice sounded in the room, with a slightly reproachful tone, but it could not hide the tenderness towards the man named 'Yota'.

"mom!"

"There's an old man outside the door!"

Youta pointed at Nagato and looked at his mother in the room.

"is it?"

"Who?"

Following the sound of footsteps, Uzumaki Nagato's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

He absolutely did not believe that what he was thinking in his heart could actually be like this, and he was even more unwilling to believe that his feelings for that person went beyond friendship.

As the footsteps got closer, a hint of blue appeared in his sight.

flutter……

A piece of clothing fell from the man's hand to the ground.

Xiaonan looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, his pupils filled with trance.

How……

how come……

Nagato...

He is actually alive!

"Mother?"

Yangtai picked up the clothes on the ground and looked at Xiaonan with a strange expression.

"Yuan, you are not dead?"

Xiaonan gave a bitter smile.

"You, do you want me to die?"

Uzumaki Nagato hesitated for a moment and asked back.

"No, it's just..."

"I'm doing fine..."

A peaceful life, no worries about war, and watching the children grow up, this is everything for Xiaonan.

There was a time when she would wonder, if Nagato had not died, and he had been the winner of that battle, what would the outcome have been.

But that is just an unrealistic fantasy.

As time passed, this idea was slowly replaced by this child.

She didn't have time to think about what she would have done if she had succeeded.

Everything in her life was replaced by Yangta.

His food, clothing, housing, transportation, his academic performance, and his physical health.

"Well, I see."

Uzumaki Nagato nodded upon hearing this and walked step by step towards the dark rainy night.

"and many more!"

Konan's call stopped Uzumaki Nagato in his tracks, and he paused.

Yang Tai felt a little confused when looking at his mother.

Looking at his son, Xiaonan wanted him to call him father.

But no sound came out of his open mouth.

"No...it's okay..."

After a long while, almost frustrated words came out of Xiaonan's mouth.

The figure disappeared into the darkness of the rainy night.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Yangtai wanted to wipe the tears from Xiaonan's face.

"No, it's okay, Mommy is okay."

Konan hugged Youta tightly in his arms.

I'm sorry, Nagato...

I don't want Yang Tai to get hurt in the slightest...

—

"Dad Orochimaru!"

"What did you get me?"

"It hurts!"

Orochimaru was about to say goodbye to Jiu Xing, but before he even went out, he saw three people rushing towards him.

"Dad!"

"What should I do about this?!"

Senju Homura tore off the cloth covering her eyes, revealing a pair of wavy eyes that glowed purple and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru frowned tightly as he looked at the eyes of Senju Homura.

This situation should not have occurred according to the calculations of him and Senju Tobirama.

"what happened?"

Jiu Xing looked at the people outside the door and walked up to ask.

"Ah, Master Jiu Xing is here too!"

Seeing Jiu Xing coming, Qianshou Yanyan hurriedly wanted to cover his eyes.

"No need to do all this, I got these eyes by myself."

"What are you hiding?"

After listening to Jiu Xing's words, Qianshou Yanyan smiled awkwardly and no longer concealed it.
