Above the tall buildings.
"Nagato, how is the situation?" Konan asked softly.
"The Asura Path and the Human Path are all destroyed. It is a little troublesome to repair, but it will not take too long. The Animal Path was taken away by Jiraiya-sensei and needs to be re-made. I am afraid it will take a week."
"I didn't expect the loss would be so bad." Konan whispered.
"It's not the most troublesome thing. Jiraiya-sensei and Kakashi have escaped, and they also knew the secret of Pain. Now, the situation has become a little troublesome." Nagato muttered.
"What are you going to do?"
"Jiraiya-sensei and Kakashi were both seriously injured, and it is very difficult for them to recover in a short time. So, I will fix the Six Paths of Pain as soon as possible, and then go to Konoha to capture the Kyūbi!" Nagato said coldly.
"Nagato, we've found the location of the Rokubi's Jinchūriki. Do you want to catch him?"
"Rokubi? You can go with the Deva Path."
After Konan finished speaking, she turned and left.
In the room, Nagato is the only one left.
"Hatake Kakashi, I didn't expect you would be such a big trouble now. The next time I see you, I must kill you! Even if you know the secret of the Six Paths of Pain, the strength gap between you and me is still irrevocable."
Nagato said as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Calling himself a God, Nagato has absolute belief in his strength.
The failure this time made Nagato feel a sense of depression in his heart.
Since becoming Pain, he has never suffered such a failure again.
Therefore, it is normal for his mood to fluctuate.
Konoha, the secret room of the Hokage Tower.
Tsunade pushed open the door of the secret room and walked in.
There is a bed inside, with a person lying on it.
He has silver-white hair, and a special mask.
The distinctive features are enough to make most people in the Shinobi World recognize the Shinobi in front of Tsunade right now.
The powerful expert in the Shinobi World was lying here at this time.
He looked quiet, as if he is dead.
No matter who it is, if anyone looks at Kakashi's state right now, they will think that he is dead.
His heart has stopped beating and his face was pale. He looked no different than a corpse.
Tsunade stepped forward and checked Kakashi's condition. She then let out a sigh of relief and murmured: "What a crazy guy. Even I don't dare to use this treatment easily, but it seems that it is a success."
After Tsunade said that, green Chakra covered her palms and then she pressed it to Kakashi's chest, more precisely, at his heart.
After Tsunade pressed her palms on it for a while, she withdrew her right hand, covering Kakashi's heart with just her left palm, and then struck his left palm with a punch using her right hand.
Kakashi's body trembled violently, and his heart seemed to beat again.
Seeing this, Tsunade didn't stop, but continued punching using her right hand.
Tsunade's movements were getting faster and faster. From once every three seconds, it gradually became three times a second.
Kakashi's originally still heart started beating again following this wonderful rhythm.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, Kakashi coughed and his body moved.
"Cough cough cough..."
Tsunade looked overjoyed and stopped punching.
She put her right hand on Kakashi's forehead and checked Kakashi's body condition at this time.
"It seems that there is no problem. The body's functions are recovering, and the injury that should have needed at least month to recover has been completely healed." Tsunade muttered.
A moment later, Kakashi opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
"Tsunade-sama." Kakashi murmured.
"Kakashi, your body has just recovered. Don't move for now, and take a rest for a day or so. After that, your body will definitely back to its prime," Tsunade said.
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama. Looking at this situation, our plan should have been successful, right?" Kakashi asked.
Tsunade nodded and said: "Naruto has followed Jiraiya to Mount Myōboku to learn Senjutsu. This time, he is very determined. If he didn't completely master that, he probably won't come back. As for Sasuke, after he saw your body, he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan. I didn't expect you would have such a deep position in his heart. Right now, Shisui is teaching him about how to use Mangekyō Sharingan."
"That's good. It seems that I didn't die in vain this time." Kakashi said with a smile.
"The plan is a success, but you still have to think about how to explain to them both later. Both of them are very distraught. I have never seen Naruto look so fragile before. It seems that he have lost all of life meaning."
Kakashi turned silent upon hearing this.
He also knew that this kind of deception would make the two of them distraught, but it was indispensable.
The time is running out. The Akatsuki has completely exposed their fangs. According to the information he got, Akatsuki has caught Gobi, and the remaining Rokubi and Nanabi are estimated to be captured in the near future.
When the time comes, it will be the time Obito announce the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The growth of Naruto and Sasuke still lacks extremely important steps.
That is, the growth of pain.
In the original work, Jiraiya and Itachi's death allowed Naruto and Sasuke to fully grow up.
Not only did their strength advance by leaps and bounds, but it also strengthened their mind.
The growth of Shinobi is , accompanied by pain.
In this world, both Jiraiya and Itachi have a close relationship with Kakashi, so Kakashi will never let them die.
Therefore, the method of Naruto and Sasuke's growth can only be changed.
After some deliberation, Kakashi felt that the most appropriate and convenient method is to use his own death.
It is needless to say about the relationship between Naruto and Kakashi. Since childhood, Kakashi was Naruto's most important person.
And Sasuke's relationship with Kakashi is also very deep.
With Kakashi's death as a medium, both of them should be able to make considerable progress.
And the situation now is the same as Kakashi thought.
Both Naruto and Sasuke have made rapid progress in a short period of time.
In fact, Kakashi originally already has such an intention, but he has never found the opportunity.
This time, the Pain's matter made Kakashi make up his mind.
And because of his injuries, this kind of treatment is also the fastest way to recover.
Kakashi now has no time to lie on the hospital bed.
Pain may invade Konoha at any time, and Sasuke and Naruto may not be able to resist Pain.
And it is also inconvenient for Shisui to show himself, so Kakashi must recover in the shortest possible time.
"I will explain to them by then. If there is more time, I won't use such a risky approach." Kakashi said helplessly.
"Kakashi, did you find something again this time?" Tsunade asked.
"Behind Pain, there may be even more terrifying enemies."
