Land of Rain, Amegakure in the tower.
The raindrops kept hitting the window, making a monotonous and somewhat dull sound, as if it was a deep movement played by nature.
At this time, Nagato was still sitting quietly in the wheelchair, next to the window.
His thin and slightly pale face looked even more grim under the dim light coming from the window.
He stared through the window at the hazy rain scene outside. The fine rain was like silver-grey threads, weaving the whole world into the mist, and his heart fell into a tranquility.
It seemed that he didn't care at all about Obito's refusal to treat his legs.
His expression remained as calm as water, and there was no wave in his eyes.
This is not difficult to understand.
Nagato, with his legs intact, can use the abilities of Six Paths alone, and his combat power will skyrocket. This is undoubtedly a huge threat to Obito, and it is reasonable for him to refuse.
Crunch! Crunch!
The old door seemed to be overwhelmed and was slowly pushed open. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent room.
Konan walked in with light steps, her lavender hair shining softly in the dim light.
Following her was Hiruko, a new member who had just joined. Her baby face, which made people unable to tell the difference between male and female, looked harmless, but there was a cunning look in her eyes.
"Nagato, Hiruko are back, and they brought back the Crystal Ball that Kakuzu said!"
Konan came to Nagato, his voice was as soft as the drizzle outside the window, with a faint smile on his face.
Hiruko also stepped forward, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, he took out the Crystal Ball that he had picked up, held it in his hand, shook it, and asked.
"Chief, what on earth is this? Why do so many people want it?"
His eyes were fixed on Nagato, as if he wanted to find the answer from Nagato's expression.
Nagato turned the wheelchair slightly, and the wheelchair made a slight "squeak" sound and came to Hiruko.
He stretched out his hand and took Crystal Ball from Hiruko's hand. The movement was slow and steady.
He carefully looked at the item in his hand. Crystal Ball reflected a faint light in his hand, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly, and then shook his head.
"To be honest, I don't know what this is. If it weren't for Kakuzu's strong request, I wouldn't have sent you to cooperate with Kakuzu!"
"But from now on, Iwagakure, Konoha, they all want this thing, which means it must be very important."
"I want to study it!"
After Nagato finished speaking, he held Crystal Ball tightly in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Hiruko.
In response, Hiruko shrugged, with a nonchalant look on his face.
His thin shoulders were lifted slightly, and his hands hung casually on his sides.
Obviously he doesn't care much about this thing.
He only cares about his ability to become a god and causing trouble for Konoha!
He often does the latter, but the former requires a lot of money.
"Chief, what you promised me..."
Hiruko rubbed his palms, his eyes shone with anticipation, and his face showed a smile that was completely inconsistent with his baby face, with a hint of flattery.
That smile looked a bit flattering, in stark contrast to his usual seemingly innocent appearance.
Nagato smiled slightly, the smile was very light, but it conveyed a majesty that people could not refuse.
He naturally understood what the other party meant. After putting away Crystal Ball, he nodded to Konan behind him.
Konan understood and tilted his head slightly, then came to Hiruko and raised his head to signal.
Then Earth Flow left the room with light and quick steps.
Hiruko saw this and quickly followed him, his steps slightly hurried, as if he was afraid of losing Konan.
As the two people gradually moved away, there was a faint voice.
"The laboratory Nagato has been prepared for you a long time ago, but don't just focus on studying your 'Chimera Technique'. You should also take the task of improving Land of Rain's ninjutsu and equipment seriously." Konan's voice was serious.
"Of course, but this will definitely require a lot of funds!"
"As long as you can complete the task, you don't need to worry about money!"
"That's good!"
"..."
The backs of the two people slowly disappeared. Nagato looked away and waved his hand. The door closed with a bang. The sound of the door closing echoed in the silent room, as if it brought an end to this conversation.
Immediately afterwards, Nagato controlled the wheelchair and returned to the window, took out Crystal Ball again and looked at it carefully.
After a long while, his eyes gradually became serious and his brows were furrowed, like two bottomless ravines.
He could clearly sense that this Crystal Ball contained a very special chakra fluctuation, which was deep and restrained, as if it contained endless secrets.
This kind of chakra fluctuation was completely different from what he had come into contact with before. It was neither like the chakra generated by the ninja's own training, nor like the majestic and wild power of Tailed Beast.
Nagato had a puzzled look on his face, his lips pursed slightly, and his eyes were filled with light of thought.
Not long after, he seemed to have made up his mind and decided to use his Rinnegan to delve into the internal structure of Crystal Ball.
I saw him slowly closing his eyes first, and then slowly opening them after a moment.
During Setsuna, the unique pattern of Rinnegan exuded a mysterious and faint light in the dim room, as if it brought this space into an unknown and mysterious realm.
When his sight penetrated the crystal clear shell on the surface of Crystal Ball, some blurry images came into view.
The image was like an ancient battlefield. The battlefield was filled with a thick layer of dust and smoke, like a gray curtain, shrouding the entire battlefield in chaos.
The ninjas were fighting fiercely with the enemy. The figures of both sides were looming in the smoke, and only the flickering light of spells and the sparks produced by the collision of weapons could be seen.
The spells and fighting methods used by both sides are very strange, and they seem to have the power to destroy the world, and these powers seem to have some vague connection with Crystal Ball.
In Nagato's perception, the ninja still used chakra, but he couldn't recognize what kind of energy the enemy on the opposite side used, and he felt inexplicably familiar!
Gradually, Nagato's expression became more serious, his hands unconsciously clenched Crystal Ball, and his finger joints turned slightly white from the exertion.
At this time, as the exploration continued to deepen, a powerful force suddenly surged out from Crystal Ball, trying to invade his consciousness.
That power surged towards my mind like a raging tide.
Nagato's body shook slightly, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he immediately mobilized his chakra to resist.
As the surging chakra continues to pour out, it forms like a solid dam, blocking the invading force.
Time passed by, and under his resistance, the power gradually receded, but Crystal Ball emitted an even stronger light, and some strange runes seemed to emerge from the light.
These runes flickered and danced in the air, like a group of agile elves dancing, and they seemed to be conveying some kind of information, but he couldn't decipher them.
Nagato's brows furrowed even more tightly, his eyes fixed on the runes, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
At the same time, I was thinking secretly in my heart.
This Crystal Ball must come from an extremely long time ago.
This also reminded him of a rumor that was very ridiculous in the eyes of others.
Thousands of years ago, Ninja World was not called Ninja World, and the energy used by humans at that time was not chakra.
It wasn't until the arrival of the legendary Rabbit Goddess Kaguya that chakra appeared.
Thinking of this, he raised his head slightly and looked at the rain curtain outside the window, his thoughts drifting far away.
Could it be that this ancient battlefield in Crystal Ball shows the battle between the chakra owners under Rabbit Goddess and the indigenous people?
Nagato's expression became solemn, and his hands gently touched Crystal Ball, as if he was touching that distant history.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the importance of this thing should not be underestimated.
The images of that battlefield have been deeply recorded in his mind, and the strength of both sides can be seen at a glance.
If the secret of Crystal Ball can be unlocked, it may bring a huge increase in power to Akatsuki Organization, and it may even change the entire pattern of Ninja World.
Fulfill his long-held dream!
Therefore, Nagato decided to temporarily put aside other matters and devote himself wholeheartedly to the research of Crystal Ball.
He placed Crystal Ball on a special stand. The stand was made of a black metal and looked very strong.
Then he began to use the ability of Rinnegan, trying to unlock the rune seal on the surface of Crystal Ball.
With the injection of his chakra, the runes on Crystal Ball began to rotate slowly, faster and faster, gradually forming a huge chakra Uzumaki.
That Uzumaki exudes powerful power, stirring the surrounding air and twisting it slightly.
At this time, Crystal Ball suddenly made a sharp chirping sound. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls and make people's ears feel stinging.
Nagato men's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but even so, he still had no intention of giving up, and instead increased the output of chakra without hesitation.
With the continuous injection of chakra, the image inside Crystal Ball gradually becomes clearer.
Soon, a familiar map slowly appeared in front of him.
It was a map of Ninja World, with five light spots clearly marked on it, one of which was at the Amegakure where he was.
Nagato's eyes widened slightly involuntarily, his face was full of surprise, and his heart suddenly moved.
Is it possible that this Crystal Ball is not unique?
Nagato squinted his eyes and began to carefully identify the location of the light spots on the map.
Ninja World's landform has undergone thousands of changes. Although it has changed, the general location can still be seen.
