At the same time.
Land of Rain led by Nagato is also cleaning up the ninja forces in the east of Ninja World.
However, because Land of Rain is too small, Nagato adopted a unique strategy--
Don't refuse anyone who comes.
As long as there are ninja forces willing to join, Land of Rain will accept them all.
Nagato stood on the high ground of Amegakure, overlooking this land that had been baptized by war, with firmness and determination in his eyes.
If Land of Rain wants to rise in this conflict-ridden Ninja World, it must quickly expand its strength, and absorbing forces from all parties is a feasible way.
At this time, a Land of Rain ninja came to report.
"Chief, we found a group of wandering ninjas ahead. There are about thirty people. They are operating in the nearby area, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Do we want to destroy them?"
Nagato narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then said.
"No, go tell them that Land of Rain welcomes them to join."
"As long as they are willing to put aside their past evil deeds and abide by the rules of Land of Rain, we will give them shelter and opportunities for development."
After hearing this, the ninja looked surprised, but he still followed the order and left.
Soon after, he brought the group of wandering ninjas to Nagato.
Most of these wandering ninjas looked wary and uneasy, but after seeing Nagato's unique Rinnegan, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
"You homeless ninjas are wandering around in this Ninja World and being bullied."
"Now Land of Rain gives you a place to stay and a chance to start over."
"As long as you are loyal to Land of Rain and work hard for our common goal, you will no longer be a despised wanderer."
Nagato's voice is deep and powerful, as if there is an invisible magic power.
It ignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of these wandering ninjas.
One of the wandering ninja leaders stood up and asked cautiously.
"Can we really join? We have done a lot of wrong things in the past, won't you pursue them?"
Nagato looked at him calmly and said, "As long as you sincerely repent and prove your loyalty with practical actions, I can forget about the past. Land of Rain needs strong power, and you are part of this power."
After listening to Nagato's words, the wandering ninjas looked at each other, their eyes shining with excitement.
They all knelt down on one knee and expressed their willingness to join Land of Rain.
Nagato saw this and nodded slightly, feeling secretly pleased in his heart.
As time goes by, more and more ninja forces have heard about Land of Rain's policies and come to seek refuge.
There are small ninja villages that are oppressed by big powers, there are ninja families that have lost their homes due to war, and there are also those stragglers who are wandering around in Ninja World with nowhere to go.
For a time, Land of Rain's team grew like a snowball.
However, this rapid expansion also brings many problems.
When ninjas from different backgrounds come together, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions and conflicts between them.
Some ninjas are accustomed to a free life and find it difficult to adapt to Land of Rain's rules.
There are old grudges among some ninja villages, and disputes often occur.
Among them, the most serious ones were the ninjas who were Sunagakure and Iwagakure.
The height of these two ninja villages was completely destroyed by Nagato.
The remaining ninjas were also forced to join, and one can imagine the resentment in their hearts.
These Nagato don't care at all, they just keep using high-pressure policies and iron-blooded methods.
This all stems from the inheritance he received from Crystal Ball.
The main power of this inheritance is life.
Therefore, his vitality is extremely strong now, and the consumption of Rinnegan is nothing to him now.
And after his in-depth research, he also created a special technique.
Nagato named it 'Life Sharing'!
However, this so-called sharing is only one-sided.
He used this technique to divide part of his powerful vitality and inject it into the bodies of injured or weaker ninjas to help them quickly recover from their injuries and improve their strength.
This move alleviated the conflicts among the new ninjas to a certain extent and allowed them to feel Nagato's strong Yamato Land of Rain warmth.
However, as the saying goes, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away.
Once he accepts the life force of Nagato, his life will be tied to Nagato.
When Nagato needs it, it can directly forcibly extract the life force from that person's body.
This also allowed Nagato to extend this and create an ability called 'Death Substitution'.
In other words.
As long as there is a sharer within the perception, he will never die, only others will die.
Such a cruel technique made Konan feel chilled in his heart.
She looked at Nagato, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
There is both awe of the powerful power of Nagato and worries about the dark side brought about by this power.
"Nagato, is this really good?"
Nagato turned his head slightly and looked at Konan, his eyes firm but with a hint of helplessness.
"Konan, in this cruel Ninja World, if you want to survive and achieve peace, you must have strong power."
"Uchiha Yan is really too strong. If you don't use this method, I may not be his opponent."
Konan lowered her head slightly, she understood that Nagato's words made sense.
In this war-torn world, the weak can only be bullied, and only the strong can make the rules.
But she still couldn't help but say.
"But if this continues, what's the difference between us and those invaders?"
Nagato was silent for a moment and said slowly.
"When I unify Ninja World, I will establish a new order, a peaceful world without war and killing."
"At that time, all the sacrifices will be worth it."
Konan looked at Nagato with mixed feelings in his heart.
Nagato's dream is beautiful, but this road is full of thorns and blood.
She doesn't know whether Nagato can finally realize his ideal, but she is willing to stay with Nagato to witness it all.
As Land of Rain's power continues to expand, Nagato's "Life Sharing" and "substitute" abilities are gradually becoming known to more people.
This frightened some ninjas, but also awed many more.
Because they know that once they betray Nagato, death awaits them.
And Nagato used these abilities to expand his power even more unscrupulously.
He led Land of Rain's ninjas and continued to clean up other forces in the east of Ninja World.
In every battle, he rushes to the front, Rinnegan unleashes powerful power that frightens the enemy.
During this period, the remaining Sand Village ninjas and Iwagakure Ninja united.
I don't want to defeat Nagato, I just want to leave the east of Ninja World, even if I want to join Konoha.
But Nagato doesn't allow it.
Rinnegan shines brightly, Bansho Ten'in and Shinra Tensei activate at the same time.
The ninjas from the two major ninja villages were pulled and knocked away by the powerful force.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of ninjas were dead and injured, and the methods were extremely cruel.
