If he wanted more shinobi to join them and unite their front,
he needed everyone to witness a truly powerful enemy firsthand-one so powerful that shinobi would have to accept the reality that they had no future unless they stood together.
Those who knew the future had already taken their positions.
Yahiko and Konan openly managed Amegakure, developing its economy and industrial foundation.
Nagato and Obito were responsible for leading the Akatsuki and advancing the plan to revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Orochimaru and the Senju brothers were responsible for researching the secrets of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and finding ways to counter the enemies from beyond their world.
Aside from planning all of this and occasionally helping things along, Xuanhui had little else to do.
At his current level of existence and strength, he could only gradually become more well-rounded. Further major improvements were difficult.
But he understood that he still had something more important to do.
That was to cultivate new fighting strength! At least he knew part of the future, and he knew how to nurture certain powerful fighters.
The windmill of a new era was about to turn, and he would become the wind that drove it to generate new energy...
Pakura, meanwhile, had taken a unique path.
Xuanhui had told her something: the legendary Rinnegan could absorb ninjutsu.
That meant that even though she possessed a kekkei genkai, her Scorch Release chakra could still be absorbed.
Although Sage Mode could inflict damage on its wielder, both the boost it offered and its duration were limited.
So she wanted to develop a specific method that could bypass ninjutsu absorption.
She pondered this for a long time, until she remembered the Third Kazekage's and Rasa's Magnet Release.
"If Magnet Release chakra can be absorbed, then what about iron sand?
