"The manifestation of Pure Land is actually a characteristic of the communication between Chakra."
"That's exactly the philosophy of Ninshu!"
As Uchiha Makoto pondered these thoughts, he recalled Madara Uchiha's sermon to Naruto and the others during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story.
Madara bluntly stated that Chakra allows people to connect with each other, something Naruto were completely unaware of, and they were still plotting how to kill Madara Uchiha!
"How ironic!"
"The protagonist, who is upright and righteous, only thinks about fighting, while the evil villain wants to calm down and communicate!"
Uchiha Makoto.
"Who can be blamed for this? Madara Uchiha must also feel deeply disappointed in the ninjas who have forgotten the original purpose of the Sage of Six Paths passing down Chakra, right?"
From today's perspective, the Hokage world is actually a planet that experienced explosive growth due to extraterrestrial visitors.
While it is militarily advanced, it has failed to develop the culture, history, and cultural heritage that a civilization should possess.
It's like a distorted society where feudalism, capitalism, and dual monarchy coexist on the same planet, evolving from an early slave society to the modern era in a thousand years.
Isn't the Hyuga Clan's "Caged Bird Separation" system utterly brain-dead garbage?
Everyone outside is worse than him!
"It's simply a world where everyone tries to be the worst!"
Thinking about what he had seen and heard, Uchiha Makoto felt helpless.
The state of the ninja world is so heartbreaking that it would bring tears to anyone who hears about it!
Yet so many people can still tolerate it!
That's why it's called the Ninja World!
No wonder Jiraiya taught Naruto that a ninja is one who can endure what ordinary people cannot.
"So, facing Danzo's targeting and the moves of various forces, how will Nagato Uzumaki, at the center of the Uzumaki, react?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto flew rapidly towards the Land of Rain.
The time has come for Danzo to discover Nagato Uzumaki; it's time for him to go and take charge of the Land of Rain!
It was a rare sunny day in the Land of Rain, but the Akatsuki members' mood was not as bright as the sun.
"Recently, when we were gathering wandering ninjas and providing relief to civilians, we kept encountering obstruction from other Rain Ninja."
"Some members of the organization have reported being robbed and extorted by other Rain Ninja recently!"
"Does anyone have anything to say?"
At a long table, Yahiko sat at the head of the table, with the others seated on either side, discussing the matter.
These actions are now creating considerable resistance for the Akatsuki!
"Other Rain Ninja? Are they Hanzo of the Salamander?"
Someone asked a question.
"Right."
Yahiko nodded wearily in acknowledgment.
For a moment, the discussion in the conference room quieted down considerably.
For those of them who make a living in the Land of Rain, who doesn't know Hanzo, who is hailed as a "demigod"?
To be an enemy of Hanzo is itself a reckless act!
Why are they suddenly targeting us? Has the organization done anything else recently?
After a moment of silence, Konan asked.
Yahiko shook his head helplessly; the Akatsuki hadn't really done anything else lately.
"We didn't do anything extra, just like always, helping the local civilians who were struggling financially, and taking in homeless ninjas and refugees."
"We did nothing else!"
As someone who leads by example and does everything personally, how could Yahiko, Akatsuki, do anything else?
The Akatsuki is already doing a great deal of work just to maintain the status quo!
For a moment, Yahiko sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"We really can't have a moment's peace here! Sigh!"
Please, everyone, think of a solution!
With that, Yahiko stood up and bowed deeply to everyone present.
The Yahiko of this moment is completely different from the Pain who will be controlled by the corrupted Nagato and kill his master in the future.
The members of Akatsuki, especially the ninjas who all adhered to a strict hierarchy, were taken aback by Yahiko's actions and quickly stood up to help Yahiko up.
"My lord, please rise!"
"Lord Yahiko..."
"..."
The scene was chaotic, but what could be done?
They are now in the "Nation That Always Cries," targeted by the undisputed ruler of this nation. They are just a group of Chunin, and there's nothing they can do!
Just then, someone spoke from some direction.
"Perhaps our power has grown too great, causing that person to become wary of us!"
Everyone fell silent, exchanging glances as they began to investigate.
How could they not know this?
But who dares to say anything in front of the leader who created the organization?
If I were to be killed by the leader or one of the leader's loyal subjects, it would be a huge loss!
To be or not to be, that is not the question!
Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, Yahiko gave a wry smile and did nothing more.
These are all facts, after all!
The Akatsuki has grown too large to be considered an "organization" and even has the power to control a region.
Coupled with the Akatsuki's actions and its reputation among the common people of the Land of Rain, all of this challenges Hanzo's authority in the Land of Rain. Hanzo doesn't target them, who will he target?
These events can now be seen as a contest between the rulers of the Land of Rain!
"Who here doesn't know what the rest of the Land of Rain is like now?"
"If I were to hand over our civilians to the Rain Ninja again, plunging them into that miserable state once more, I would absolutely refuse!"
Yahiko spoke firmly, his attitude very clear.
To be or not to be, that is the question!
Unlike the Five Great Nations, the smaller Land of Rain suffered even greater damage than in the original story after Uchiha Makoto pushed for the early start of the Third Shinobi World War!
The common people in the Land of Rain have it even harder than in the original story!
The burden on the Akatsuki is also heavier than in the original story!
Yahiko looked at the members of the organization he had personally recruited around him, his feelings complicated.
The ninjas couldn't find the speaker after that shout, and given the recent changes within the Akatsuki, it was clearly premeditated.
Someone betrayed the Akatsuki, which was pursuing "light," at some unknown time, and joined Hanzo's side!
"Perhaps Nagato might have a solution."
Before Yahiko could speak, someone else spoke up, and this person carried considerable weight.
"Konan."
Yahiko looked at Konan with a wry smile, her face full of helplessness and her eyes darting around. He knew that she had been bewitched by her and that this was not her true intention.
"How can we be sure those guys aren't well-intentioned with Nagato? Let's just forget about it!"
Yahiko shook his head and rejected Konan's suggestion, partly because they hadn't yet figured out the details of the Uzumaki Clan.
On the other hand, just as they established a relationship with a certain power, disaster struck them.
Is this really not targeted?
Is some powerful force targeting the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan?
If that's the case, then it would be good enough if we didn't cause them any trouble by suddenly contacting the Uzumaki Clan!
