Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

When will the war end?

This is really a difficult question to answer.

Especially when the person who asked this question is a son of prophecy like Nagato who has the potential to become dark.

After Kaguya squinted her eyes and thought for a while, she asked in a deep voice:

"Asking this question, does Nagato-kun want to accuse us, Kirigakure, of initiating a war with Konoha?"

"Probably, there is a little reason for this, but not entirely."

Nagato sighed, looked at the ruins of Uzushio Village and said calmly:

"In the past few years, I have seen the war that Kumogakure provoked against Sunagakure, the war that Kumogakure provoked against Konoha, the war that Iwagakure provoked against Konoha, and the war that you Kirigakure just provoked against Konoha. The war started.”

“Whenever the last war seems to be over, the countries that were on the sidelines will immediately go on to provoke a new war, allowing the chain of war and hatred to continue to spread, involving more and more people. They fell into the disaster of war, leaving them displaced and their families destroyed."

"I thought that this long ninja world war would come to an end after Kirigakure, the last country among the five major countries that did not participate in the war, decided the winner with Konoha."

"However, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who had already been defeated, and even Sunagakure, who had only the ability to protect himself because of the loss of the Third Kazekage, began to become eager to take action again because of Kirigakure's actions."

Having said this, Nagato paused for a moment, then shook his head and sighed in a complicated tone between a wry smile and self-deprecation:

"Although the war has brought Akatsuki many like-minded companions who long for peace, if the war continues, let alone those new companions who have joined us with hatred and pain, I am afraid that even Yahiko and I will also You can’t help but be shaken by your beliefs..."

"Um, Nagato-kun?"

Kaguya Rei interrupted Nagato, who was starting to make pessimistic remarks, and said with a strange expression:

"I think that instead of telling me the ideals and purposes of your Akatsuki organization here, and discussing the complicated issue of when the war will end with me, a small ANBU who can't decide anything, you might as well first explain why I will settle down. I have figured out the matter of quietly listening to you here."

"Eh?"

Nagato, who was confused about his future, heard Kaguya Rei's sudden words. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion:

"Is there anything worth thinking about?"

"Yes, of course," Kaguya Rei rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If you can figure this problem out, you will have found the key to solving those problems to a certain extent."

"real?"

"Really, if you feel that you can't find an entry point for a while, I can give you a very simple tip."

As Kaguya Rei spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at his eyes, and motioned to Nagato to imitate his actions. Nagato raised his hand dubiously at first, and then seemed to suddenly understand something, and looked at it. The fingers in front of his eyes whispered to himself:

"Is it because... I have these reincarnation eyes?"

"Otherwise? You don't know what kind of reputation our Kirigakure ninjas have in the ninja world, right?"

Kaguya Rei silently put down the right hand pointing at her eyes and said slowly:

"Cold, ferocious, complete every mission without emotion, and never leave a prisoner on the battlefield... Growing up in such an environment, do I look like the kind of good person who can communicate friendly with strange ninjas? ?"

"No," a faint smile appeared on Nagato's face, "When we just faced each other, Rei-kun, you still wanted to use the power of the bone veins to sneak attack me."

"But I not only gave up that idea, but I also listened carefully to every word you said and exchanged names with you."

Having said this, Kaguya Rei's tense nerves relaxed a little. He avoided looking at Nagato's reincarnation eyes and said softly in an envious and fearful tone:

"And all this is because you have a pair of reincarnation eyes that I don't know how to contend with."

Nagato did not think that he must look at Kaguya Rei, but after showing an expression of sudden realization, he asked with interest:

"Does Lianjun mean that if I have more strength than the five shadows, I can make them take back the order to start the war?"

"That's not the case. As a Kage, there are still a lot of things to bear. It is impossible to take back the war order in such a trivial way." Kaguya Rei shook her head, "But if you are really that strong, Even the Five Shadows cannot ignore the thoughts and demands of your Akatsuki organization.”

"But this is just a simple deterrent based on my personal strength, right?"

Nagato pondered for a moment and raised his own question, "Even if the Five Shadows really see our Akatsuki organization's appeal for peace and have to consider the influence of our Akatsuki organization before launching a war... But as long as I die, or the five major There is a stronger ninja than me in the Ninja Village, so the war will come back again, right?"

"But you at least let your ideas spread and gained a certain amount of peace for the ninja world. Isn't that enough?"

Kaguya Rei had already anticipated the questions Nagato might raise. He pointed to a building not far away where the family crest of the Uzumaki clan could be distinguished, and said unhurriedly:

"The last person to single-handedly shock the entire ninja world and bring the history of ninjas into a new era was Konoha's first Hokage Senju Hashirama."

"When he was alive, all the four countries of wind, earth, thunder and water did not dare to start a war because they were afraid of his power. The system of ninja villages was widely adopted in the ninja world, and his younger brother, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, founded Excellent systems such as ninja schools and ANBU have also been absorbed and accepted by various countries."

"I have not experienced that era, and I don't know how powerful the Senju Hashirama is... But Nagato-kun, the Rinnegan Eye you possess is the most powerful ultimate eye technique passed down by the Sage of Six Paths. If you use it properly, you might be able to fight for decades of peace by reforming the system of the shinobi world, just like Senju Hashirama."

"Decades of peace...?"

Nagato closed his eyes, recalling the time he had experienced from birth to now, and based on this, imagined the length of decades.

"If the ninja world can really have peace for decades, even if it is only overall and superficial peace, I should be worthy of the eyes I have opened, and the teachings and trust of Teacher Jiraiya. Are you ready, Yahiko?"

With an expression of realization, Nagato opened his eyes, intending to thank Kaguya for pointing him out a path that seemed feasible.

But what surprised Nagato was that Kaguya Rei did not wait for his response where he was standing before. Instead, he took advantage of the less than ten seconds when he closed his eyes and meditated and ran away on the spot, disappearing silently. In the slightly bleak autumn wind.

"Did you run away? It's such a pity. I also want to express my gratitude to you in person, Lianjun."

Shaking his head, Nagato activated the teleportation technique, and within a few leaps, he returned to the area where he was discovered by Rei Kaguya.

After blowing a few short and bright whistles, a woman who looked slightly older than Nagato and had short red hair ran out from a very hidden building and came to Nagato's house with a worried look on her face. around.

"Nagato-sama, did you drive away that nasty Kirigakure ninja? Great... By the way, were you injured during the battle? If you were injured, just bite me and it will be fine. The wound will heal instantly It’s going to be okay.”

"Okay, okay Huo Rin, I'm not injured and I don't need treatment. Don't, don't get so close..."

Nagato looked a little embarrassed and avoided Uzumaki Rin, a fellow member of the same race, who wanted to come up to check if she was injured. When she saw that there was no damage or dust on Nagato's body, Uzumaki Rin was relieved and she pushed her own Glasses, said with emotion:

"If I hadn't met you, Nagato-sama, I might have been discovered and taken away by that Kirigakure guy. Oh, I obviously just wanted to come back and see Uzushio Village before leaving Uzumaki Country. Why did you meet those guys from Kirigakure? Haven’t they already taken away all the valuable things in the village?”

"Probably, this is fate."

Nagato thought about the several coincidences he encountered during this impulsive journey, and a relaxed smile appeared on his young and heroic face unconsciously.

Yes, this is probably my own special fate.

When he was confused, he came up with the idea of ​​going out to relax because of the news mentioned by his companions. On the journey to his hometown that he had never set foot on, he rescued his compatriots who were from the Uzumaki clan like himself. Then, his behavior was completely different from that of Teru. Kaguya Rei, a descendant of the Night clan, got an interesting idea that could make her no longer confused...

If they go back with these gains, Yahiko and Konan will definitely be surprised.

"By the way Huo Rin, I am going back to the Kingdom of Rain to find my companions. What about you? Do you plan to leave the Kingdom of Whirlpool and settle in other countries as originally planned, or are you considering returning to the Kingdom of Rain with me? Country, how about becoming a member of our Akatsuki organization?"

"I choose the latter one!"

"So fast!?"

"Because if you choose the latter one, Nagato-sama who recruited me into the organization must not mind taking care of me, who is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, right?"

"……Right."

Nagato shook his head and turned to look in the direction of the Kingdom of Water.

If I really become a stronger person than the Five Kages, let Yahiko's thoughts and ideas be known to the world, and buy time for peace and development for the ninja world...

You who revealed this path to me, in what capacity will you meet me again, Lianjun?

The leader of the Kaguya clan?

still……

Where is the Yondaime Mizukage?
