Escape From Konoha

After getting the blueprint of the Kong Ninja Fortress, this task was successfully completed and it didn't take long.

After Ruri and Ayane came back, Shiraishi also successfully obtained the fortress design drawings he wanted. In addition, there seemed to be many battleship and weapon design drawings. Ayane felt that it was very important, so he put the relevant design drawings I brought all the information back.

A quick glance showed that Shiraishi was not very good at manufacturing battleships and weapons. However, there were scientists specializing in the study of battleships and weapons in military research institutes. Shiraishi had people send these design drawings and related information to those who were good at studying battleships and weapons. In the hands of weapons scientists, let them develop new weapons as soon as possible.

Especially battleships, this is something Shiraishi attaches great importance to.

In the future, the development of maritime resources will depend entirely on these warships to deter other countries.

As for the rest of the weapon blueprints, they are about how to make convenient ninja tools such as bombs and kunai guns.

Even if ordinary soldiers get these weapons, they can still pose a certain threat to ninjas. Especially the kunai gun. You only need to pull the trigger to fire kunai continuously. According to Liuli who has fought with the kunai gun, the speed and power of the kunai fired by the kunai gun can instantly make people who are not good at teleportation If the ninja with the technique is injured, if the attack covers a large area, the damage caused is considerable.

Overall, this mission can be said to be fruitful. With these design drawings and information, the military strength of the Kingdom of Ghosts can be further improved.

Of course, Shiraishi did not forget to accept such a strange creature as zero tail.

To be honest, the spies who were sent to monitor the ninjas of the Kingdom of Kong did not discover the existence of the Zero-Tail. If Ruri hadn't brought Zero-Tail back, Shiraishi wouldn't have known that there was such a power hidden in the fortress of the Kingdom of Sky. .

According to some of the documents from the Kingdom of Kong that Ayane brought back, the so-called Zero-Tail is a monster composed of dark chakra.

It is not man-made, but a creature formed in nature.

When the people of the Kingdom of Kong discovered Zero-Tail, Zero-Tail's power was still very weak. He used human beings' negative emotions such as despair and sadness as food, and turned these human emotions into their own power, transforming them into the extremely cold dark Cha. carat.

Although it is not a tailed beast, it has the same purpose as a tailed beast.

After learning about the characteristics of Zero-Tail, the Kingdom of Kong began to secretly hunt humans in the ninja world, imprisoning humans, channeling their sadness and despair, and letting Zero-Tail suck them. Then, decades of time were used to build a miraculous flying fortress using the 'zero tail' and the core.

With the completion of the fortress, the ambition of the Kingdom of Kong also expanded rapidly. During the Second Ninja War, it began to declare war on the five major countries. Perhaps due to bad luck, the first stop of the Sky Country was the Fire Country, the strongest in the ninja world. In the end, it ended in a disastrous defeat due to the powerful power of the Konoha Ninja Village.

The remnant forces of the Kingdom of Kong, who were defeated by Konoha, did not extinguish their ambition to dominate the ninja world. After realizing the powerful power of the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha, they turned from light to darkness. With the help of the chaos of the Third Ninja World War, Continuously capture humans and enter the fortress to feed Zero-Tail in an attempt to restore Zero-Tail's power.

Originally, if he continued to lie dormant for more than ten years, Zero Tails' power might not be able to be revived. The only strange thing is that this time, the luck was even worse. In the process of restoring Zero-Tail's power, the fortress was taken over by Liuli and Ayane. Zero-Tail has become the possession of the Demon Country. Without Zero-Tail's power, the fortress of Sky Country has become a huge garbage dump with no use.

It can be said that the power of Sky Country is entirely given by Zero-Tail.

Shiraishi is very interested in this naturally occurring monster.

Especially after learning that Zero-Tail absorbs human negative emotions to create dark chakra to enhance his own power, Shiraishi became even more interested.

If the power of Zero Tails can be thoroughly studied, it might also be of great help to the research on tailed beasts.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now we just have to wait for the results to appear."

This operation has yielded a lot, but it will take a long time for research and manufacturing to transform these literal things into power visible to the naked eye.

Once all these harvests are fully absorbed, they will be transformed into real and visible power, which will definitely surprise the ninjas of the five major countries.

Liuli and Ayane didn't say anything and left here quickly. They also had their own things to do.

Silence returned to the office. After Shiraishi handled today's affairs in the office, he headed to the research room while there was still time.

Start zero-tail research work.

He wanted to apply the power of the tailed beast to the clone, and then strengthen the clone's power by another stage.

I originally thought it would take a long time, but after getting the zero tail and understanding its characteristics, Shiraishi became more confident in tailed beast research.

Of course, we can't forget Uchiha Madara's corpse. The secrets contained in that corpse may not be lower than those of the tailed beasts, or even exceed them.

It just so happened that things in the Kingdom of Ghosts were on the right track, and his subordinates were very enthusiastic about their work. As the leader, he had a lot of free time and could devote his time to research.

The turmoil in the ninja world never stops.

When Konoha and Kumogakure went to war in the Kingdom of Yu, the Kingdom of Rain, which had been ravaged by the war and became fragmented, was full of homeless wanderers, begging pitifully on the road.

Not only the elderly and children, but also young people began begging on the roadside.

They have no strength but no work. This is natural, because the Rain Country has become extremely poor and weak. Many factories and companies have gone bankrupt, and there are no workplaces for local people to work, let alone pay salaries.

Not only beggars, but also people who work hard and want to get food and pay, hang a sign in front of them that says, "You can do anything if you give me money."

Most of them were women, standing on the roadside with numb expressions and empty eyes. They were wearing thin and colorful clothes. They were unable to protect themselves from the wind and rain with a leaky umbrella. Their hair and clothes were soaked by the rain. It made people pity to look at them. .

It doesn't necessarily require money. It is estimated that all it takes is a cookie and a bag of candy to take these women back.

But no one wanted to do it.

When you can't even take care of yourself, giving to others will get you nothing except embarrassing yourself.

Wearing a hooded raincoat, Xiao Nan put his hand into his pocket, wanting to give the last bit of money he had to the beggars on the roadside.

A cold and ruthless voice sounded from the side:

"Even if we give them alms now, it will only allow them to live for one more day."

Nagato wore the same clothes as Konan, a black hooded hagoro that covered most of his face.

There was no emotion in his words, and there was no sympathy in his eyes when he looked at these people who were displaced and lost their jobs.

Konan bit her lip and finally sighed.

"If it were Yahiko, he would do this."

Not sure whether it was nostalgia or self-deprecation, Xiaonan lowered his head slightly, his face full of pain and regret.

Having lost its organization and leader, the Country of Rain became a subsidiary of the Country of Fire, and even the Hidden Rain Village could not return.

Because it is no longer the pure land they once were. Like this country, it has become something trampled on by others.

"So he failed."

Nagato's voice was still emotionless, just stating a fact that was absolutely correct.

"This is the fate of losers, Yahiko is like this, Hanzo-sama is like this, the country and the village are the same."

There should be hatred for the Fire Country and Konoha. Not to mention hatred on Nagato's face, even the sadness and joy disappeared.

The eyes are indifferent and regard all things as equal, as if a god is overlooking this hellish world.

"I know."

Xiaonan's body trembled, and she finally held back the last kindness in her heart. She refused to look at the begging people or the woman standing on the roadside who would give up her dignity for a piece of bread.

For the first time, she felt that the sorrow of being a weak person was such a painful lesson.

The peace Yahiko said does not exist at all. Peace is achieved through fighting and bloodshed.

"If you can't let go of your obsession, you'd better find a place to stay anonymous, Xiaonan."

Nagato took a serious look at Konan and sighed.

Among all her companions, Konan is the kindest girl he has ever seen. Her kindness and compassion are incompatible with this ninja world.

But it is precisely because of her kindness and compassion that she is more easily hurt by this cruel world.

Nagato didn't want her to embark on this bloody path.

This road is destined to be accompanied by endless difficulties.

In the future, he will even go against his mentor, even... facing each other with swords.

He was worried that Xiaonan wouldn't be able to take action when the time came.

"Nagato, you don't have to persuade me. I have already decided. I want to fulfill Akatsuki's dream with you. Because there are only two of us left."

Xiaonan put away the complicated expression on her face, took a deep breath, and tried to make her expression indifferent.

That strong and cold expression made Nagato extremely painful and sad.

If possible, he didn't want Xiaonan to be on the same path as himself.

But what Xiaonan said was right, they were the only two people left in the past Xiao.

Having lost their homeland and companions, the two of them have no place in this ninja world.

"Then go, I hope you won't do this kind of pity for others again, because it makes no sense."

After Nagato said this, he walked forward in the rain.

Konan looked at Nagato's back and followed him firmly.

Taking this road means giving up all kindness and compassion and becoming cold-blooded. Anyone who blocks the road will be cut off ruthlessly, no matter how deep the bond in the past is.

The rain was pouring, and countless channels appeared due to the rain on the earth facing the sky.

The scenery of the Land of Rain lacks color, and the world becomes black and white.

Nagato and Konan walked all the way towards the River Country.

Two hours later, the two of them arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Rain. After walking a little further, they reached the border of the Kingdom of Rivers.

By the time we got here, the rain stopped and the blue sky started to show.

The sky, which is not covered by dark clouds or heavy rain, is very broad, and the sunshine is abundant and bright, as if it is telling that all things are equal and shining on all things on the earth.

This colorful world is in sharp contrast to the Kingdom of Rain.

Stepping into the mountains of the River Country, the dazzling sunlight shines on the rushing waterfalls.

Nagato and Konan cross the waterfall, and there is a cave hidden behind it.

The space inside is large, and the floor and stone walls are very flat, showing signs of manual excavation.

There are many rooms inside, as well as a huge training room specially used for training, which are all the results of the hard work of the White Zetsus.

Apart from their weak combat power, these White Zetsus were very good in other aspects. Nagato was already very satisfied with this.

Walking to the door of a stone room, the Nagato didn't knock, just pushed the door open and walked in.

Black Jue and a White Jue were standing inside. In addition, there were six bed boards in the stone room, and a corpse was placed on each bed board.

Black rods and nails were pierced deeply into the flesh of these corpses. Their skin was pale and their eyes were closed, giving them an eerie and terrifying impression.

When Black Zetsu saw Nagato and Konan coming in, he immediately said respectfully: "Nagato-sama, according to your instructions, the body has been prepared, and all the prerequisite preparations have been made. Next, we just need to inject the power of the Samsara Eye into Inside the corpse, you can control it.”

Unlike Nagato's indifferent expression, Konan didn't like this guy called Black Zetsu.

His whole body was covered in black, and he looked like a dangerous and scheming being.

And it was still the will of Uchiha Madara. Xiaonan hoped that Nagato would kill this guy directly to avoid betraying him at the critical moment.

However, Nagato obviously had other plans, so he left Hei Zetsu behind, and Konan could only hide this thought in her heart.

But she secretly decided to always be on guard against this guy's betrayal and not let him hinder Nagato's plan.

"Thanks a lot."

"No, we are Lord Nagato's loyal servants."

Black Jue's extremely respectful words made Bai Jue on the side want to roll his eyes.

But since Nagato was here, he didn't say anything more, but the corner of his mouth twitched.

Nagato ignored Black Zetsu and White Zetsu and came to a bed board, looking at a corpse lying flat on it.

The clothes on the upper body of this corpse are exposed, and the muscles are strong. Countless sword wounds and sword marks are shown on it. It has been tempered for many times, which also symbolizes that when this corpse was alive, it was a ninja who had experienced many battles.

The leader of Amegakure - Sanshouyu Hanzo.

He snatched it from the land of tea in exchange for money, and asked Bai Jie to perform a simple recovery on the body.

Even if he dies, the will contained in this corpse should not be wiped out.

There was no sadness or joy on Nagato's face, he just sighed softly.

Turning to look at Black Jue and White Jue: "You guys go out, Xiaonan just stays and helps me."

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu didn't object and walked out together, leaving Konan here to accompany Nagato.

After Black Zetsu and White Zetsu went out, Nagato pressed his palm on the chest of Hanzo's corpse. His eyes lost all joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. He stared at Hanzo's corpse seriously, concentrated chakra in his palm, and directed it towards Hanzo's corpse. injection.

About five minutes later, Nagato was still injecting chakra into the corpse and frowned.

Xiaonan asked: "What's wrong?"

Nagato shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just lamented that Hanzo-sama's body is so strong. After merging the power of my Rinnegan, he might be able to exert even greater power than before."

Xiaonan moved slightly, with excitement on his face.

If this is the case, Nagato will have another trump card in his hand.

As the leader of Amegakure, there is no doubt about Hanzo's strength. However, he was attacked by Kanzo that greedy man who was afraid of death and was seriously injured. Sunagakure still paid a heavy price.

It would be unimaginable for Hanzo to become even more powerful than before.

After another two minutes, Nagato stopped transmitting chakra, formed an extremely complicated seal on Hanzo, and his body trembled slightly, forming a strange connection with the corpse on the bed.

Hanzo's body on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. It was a pair of samsara eyes that were the same as Nagato's.

Full of majesty and coldness, Konan just saw Hanzo's Rinnegan, and her heart felt as if it was tightly held by a hand, and she was breathing hard.

Xiao Nan could feel that an extremely terrifying power was slowly awakening in Hanzo's body at this moment.

Hanzo walked down from the bed, his movements very stiff, like a zombie.

Walking in the stone room, he was also very serious, looking a bit ridiculous.

But as his control strengthened, Nagato focused all his attention on Hanzo's body. Hanzo's stiffness in walking slowly disappeared, turning into a normal living body, and his limbs became more flexible.

"Okay, the most powerful Tiandao has been made, and it is most suitable for Master Hanzo to be the one. Next, it is the turn of the other five."

Nagato nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to the other five corpses and began to share the power of the Rinnegan with them.

Fifteen minutes later, the other five corpses also got up from the bed. At first, they walked stiffly in the stone room. After getting used to it for a while, the stiffness disappeared and their movements were no different from ordinary people.

Six corpses were lined up in a row. Nagato came to these corpse puppets and scanned their faces one by one.

"The path of heaven, the path of Shura, the path of the world, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of hell... From now on, their names are the 'Six Paths of Pain', and they will act on my behalf when my avatar is weak."

Nagato undoubtedly put a lot of effort into these six corpses.

At the same time, it is also to make up for the lack of one's own combat effectiveness.

He dispersed the power of the reincarnation eye to the six paths of corpses. Although each path can only use the ability of one system, for most ninjas, the six paths are enough to make them feel despair.

"Xonan."

Nagato turned his head and looked at Konan.

Xiaonan nodded, walked to the cabinet nearby, and took out six sets of newly made clothes, all prepared according to the size of Liu Dao's corpse.

Under the control of Nagato, the six corpses picked up their clothes and put them on one by one.

The clothes on his body were coats painted with red clouds, which made the breath of the six corpses even colder.

"Try the maximum control distance."

After Nagato put on the clothes of Liu Dao's corpse, he opened the door directly and controlled the six of them to run quickly along the corridor of the stronghold, through the exit formed by the waterfall, walking on the rugged mountainous terrain, and then flew across the river and across the wilderness, to To a shady meadow.

The sun shines gently on the body, and the breeze blows slowly, making people feel a comfortable atmosphere.

However, for the six corpses, these are the warmth that only living people can feel, and they cannot feel what the so-called comfort looks like.

Nagato, who was still in the stone chamber, used the special ability of vision sharing to see the beautiful scene in front of him with six corpses.

At the same time, it was also clear how far the six corpses could be controlled.

About twenty kilometers.

Once beyond the range of twenty kilometers, control will weaken.

Within a range of twenty kilometers, the full combat effectiveness of Liudao Corpse can be guaranteed.

In order to test the limit, Nagato continued to let the six corpses move forward.

By the time it reaches thirty kilometers, the mobility of Liudao Corpse has been reduced by half.

At forty kilometers, you can basically only run normally, and the power of ninjutsu is greatly weakened.

If you continue walking, you will probably lose the sense of the six corpses directly.

After understanding the extreme range of movement of the six paths corpse, Nagato asked the six of them to return to the stronghold.

Generally speaking, the scope of activities of Payne's Six Paths is quite broad.

As his strength becomes stronger, the range of movement will continue to increase.

"How about it?"

Xiaonan asked Payne about the situation in Six Paths.

Nagato nodded and said: "It's perfect, but I think it can continue to become stronger. However, no matter how much it is strengthened, the combat effectiveness of Pain's Six Paths is extremely limited."

"After all, the power of the Samsara Eye is scattered, and there will definitely be some shortcomings."

Konan thinks this is normal and comforts Nagato.

"Don't worry, I'm not dissatisfied. Next, you should practice well, Xiaonan."

Nagato changed the topic to Konan.

Konan's strength can be equal to that of a Jonin, but to be honest, the strength of a Jonin will not play a key role in future battles.

Take the three people from the Kingdom of Ghosts as an example. If they fight in the future, Xiaonan's Jnin strength may not even be qualified to watch them fight.

That was no longer a dimensional battle.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, and replied, "I see."

"I will let Ah Fei accompany you to practice. Although he has brain problems, he is the strongest individual in Bai Jue. You can ask him to practice."

"good."

Xiaonan did not refuse and walked out of the room.

Watching Xiaonan leave, Nagato let out a sigh of relief, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.

In fact, he wants Xiaonan to stay away from the right and wrong of the ninja world.

It's just that Xiao Nan seems to have made up his mind to follow his path.

But to embark on this path requires more strength.

With Xiaonan's qualifications, can he really grow up to the point where he can help him?

Starting from reality, Xiaonan does not have the limit of blood succession, and the limit of the future is clearly in front of him.

It can't be said absolutely, but most of the ninjas who don't have the blood succession limit are ordinary ninjas.

Nagato has already made preparations. If Xiaonan's strength is not enough, he will find her a peaceful country and let her spend her life in peace.

Nagato didn't want to see his companion beside him shed blood and tears.

Especially Xiaonan.

In this world, he is the only companion who can open his heart.

I only hope that time will treat her gently.

It is enough for him to bear all the pain and sorrow, killing and crime.
