The body parts were cleared away, and Karin's mother was also taken away.
One can imagine the hellish days she endured in Kusagakure.
But even so...
She didn't even choose Konoha when she fled...
Minato Namikaze sighed.
"As long as the ninja system remains unchanged, such tragedies will continue indefinitely."
Kagami Uchiha leaned back on the sofa. "You can think about the rules and regulations yourself."
"Get me a complete map of the Shinobi World; I need to go out for a while."
"Are you going to hunt those Evil Being?"
Hatake Sakumo Minato Namikaze aware of what Sakumo Hatake was doing.
Or rather, Kagami Uchiha rarely hides his actions from people; he just doesn't explain them much.
I guess so.
After the others brought the map of the Shinobi World, Kagami Uchiha stood up and gave instructions.
"I'm carrying your Kunai. If anything happens in the tribe, come find me immediately."
Minato Namikaze nodded.
He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter; that boy named Obito, once he fell into darkness, made it difficult for Hatake Sakumo.
If something happens to the Uchiha Clan, causing Kagami Uchiha to fall into darkness...
Then it won't just be a matter for the Land of Fire; perhaps the entire Shinobi World will be destroyed by the mad Kagami Uchiha.
"By the way... Kagami, Kushina is pregnant."
Minato spoke, his face beaming with happiness.
Kagami Uchiha raised an eyebrow.
What a love-starved Ashura! Your brother was reincarnated and you've already arrived.
Before leaving, Kagami Uchiha turned back and smiled.
"Then let's hold a wedding for you and Kushina after the baby is born."
Minato has been so busy these past few years that his wedding ceremony was just a casual meal with Kagami and a few friends.
"Mirror... if you ever meet Jiraiya- sensei, could you please tell him for me...?"
"I've decided on a name for the child. It'll be the name from his novel: Naruto."
"Are you so sure it's a boy?"
Minato chuckled, "Girls can have this name too. I like this strong name."

The Land of Fire has been much more peaceful in recent years, and caravans can occasionally be seen on the main roads through the forest.
The problem is still that the population is too small.
The closer you get to the outer perimeter, the sparser the population becomes.
Kagami Uchiha headed west, intending to deal with the monster in the Box of Paradise first, and then go to the Land of Demons to see the Moryo.
When he reached the border...
Several figures in Akatsuki cloak appeared before him.
Kagami Uchiha paused and chuckled softly.
"They're all familiar faces, Obito, it's been a long time."
After many years, Obito has grown much taller and has a very aloof demeanor.
"Indeed, it's been a long time..."
Obito looked at Kagami Uchiha: "I thought you would use your Severance Release the moment you saw me."
Kagami Uchiha glanced at the group.
Sasori of the Red Sands.
A guy with the Rinnegan, but definitely not the Deva Path, a complete stranger.
The one with purple hair is obviously Konan.
And there's Obito, Zetsu, and...
Kakuzu's eyes were Kakuzu with resentment.
Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but laugh, "How could you possibly have the guts to appear in front of me?"
"Puppet, clone..."
"Kakuzu, you're the only honest person here, the one who came in his true form."
!!
Kakuzu suddenly took a step back and scanned his teammates.
What's going on?! You guys never said you weren't the original entity!
Kagami Uchiha crossed his arms. "I'll deal with you later, Kakuzu."
"Nagato... is it alright to call you that?"
The man with the Rinnegan's expression changed slightly.
"That's truly terrifying eye power, Kagami Uchiha."
"I am Nagato, and she is Konan ... let's just call her your senior brother."
"We'd like to talk to you."
Kagami Uchiha nodded. "Tell me about it."
"Being from the Uchiha, you should be able to empathize with us ninjas from small countries to some extent."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to overthrow Konoha's original rule after gaining immense power."
Nagato stepped forward.
"Peace has been achieved in the Land of Fire under your rule."
"That's because they... understood the pain you caused them, and learned to fear."
"I do not possess your immense power, yet I still managed to kill Hanzo, bringing a rare moment of peace to the Land of Rain amidst this chaotic world."
"We are on the right track, and we... can cooperate."
"To bring peace to the entire Shinobi World, but our current strength is still insufficient."
"The four major powers remain stubborn and intend to provoke a war."
"We need to create a weapon that can kill millions of humans in an instant!"
"When all nations are aware of this suffering, fear will act as a deterrent, and there will be no more wars!"
"Pain makes the world grow."
"This is my mission as the successor of the Sage of Six Paths!"
"Join Akatsuki, Kagami Uchiha, let's bring peace to the world together!"
Kagami Uchiha nodded and said calmly.
"It's a viable path, but you will die, Nagato. How is this any different from the era of Hashirama Senju?"
"You might think that the forbidden weapon can be preserved, but once you die, it will definitely be dismantled or go out of control."
Compared to fighting, Nagato preferred exploring the concept of peace.
Deciding to meet Kagami Uchiha was the right decision.
As expected, we shouldn't listen to Obito, that little junior disciple. He even portrayed Kagami Uchiha as unreasonable and unpeace-loving.
Nagato spoke in a deep voice.
"I do not crave lasting peace, but only that a generation can live out their lives in peace, from birth to death, amidst this endless Uzumaki."
"Someone will come along to inherit my ideals in the future; the most important thing is to begin."
Kagami Uchiha frowned deeply.
Nagato's thoughts...
He thought it made perfect sense.
Their will is also very strong.
Was it because after more than ten years, his body could no longer bear the burden, and like Hanzo, his willpower weakened?
Chakra is a somewhat idealistic concept; sometimes willpower does indeed affect combat effectiveness.
"Your idea is good."
The puppet controlled by Nagato had little facial expression, but judging from its body language, it seemed somewhat pleased.
The next sentence made him pause.
"But I refuse."
Kagami Uchiha tilted his head and smiled at everyone:
"When did I ever say I had an ideal of peace in the Shinobi World?"
"I just want to get rid of all the people who are disturbing my peaceful life..."
"Just kill them all."
"You don't even have the courage to stand in front of me, yet you dare to lecture me!"
Boom!!
The colorless and formless slash had the force of tilting the sky!
Boom!!
The earth, like a shattered mirror, inexplicably distorted space, reflecting ripples.
Should we still take action...? Thankfully, we didn't use Yahiko's body.
"Shinra Tensei!!"
The immense repulsive force surged forth, and the solid rock, soil, and forests were scattered and flew about like toy blocks!
