Leaving Arhat Hall, Nagato and Konan walked together on the stone steps of the bamboo forest.
Bai followed the two of them at a short distance. He had taken off his mask, revealing his long black and shiny hair and his beautiful face. His big black gem-like eyes were as pure and innocent as a child.
Konan I haven't gotten over the strong feeling until now.
"Does this child really have a penis? It doesn't feel very real..."
Since he recognized Nagato as his godfather, then I will be his godmother... Thinking of this, Konan counted his fingers and murmured, "If Sakon and Ukon is regarded as a person, Bai happens to be the tenth son."
Yes. Counting Bai, Nagato has had ten adopted sons and daughters in total over the years.
In order of time, they are--Ajisai, Karin, Kimimaro, Jūgo, Tayuya, Kidōmaru, Jirōbō, Sakon and Ukon, Suigetsu, white.
Ajisai and Karin are single parents, and the rest are orphans without father or mother.
This adopted son and daughter are not just in name, Nagato has really fulfilled his obligations as a father. In addition to providing them with the guarantee of survival and life, he will also accompany them to play from time to time and guide them in the practice of ninjutsu.
With Nagato's current status, it is extremely difficult to do this.
The leader of Amegakure is still Lord Pain.
Nagato is no longer unknown. He was crowned the 'Daimyo of Rain' and is the monarch of Rain Country.
Rain Country, such a myth is circulating nowadays.
The god divided his will into two parts and turned them into "War God" and "Guardian".
Lord Pain is the incarnation of "War God", who ends the war and brings peace to the earth.
The name of the rain is the incarnation of "Guardian", which restores order and brings good news to the people.
Since then, Konan is not only the angel who conveys the will of the gods on behalf of Pain, but also the wife of the Daimyo of Rain, the mistress of this land of rain!
The Daimyo of Rain decreed that Pain be the great ninja commander who protects the country.
After that, Amegakure opened up its territory and expanded its territory, sweeping across the four countries of 'Grass', 'Taki', 'Shuang' and 'Tian' to the east.
What is not known is that the 'Bird Country' and 'Land of Rivers' bordering the southwest of Rain Country have long since become the subordinates of Amegakure, and the two countries voluntarily surrendered.
Because the two countries have not formed a formal ninja village system since the Warring States Period era, they were in dire straits under the baptism of several Shinobi World wars, almost reaching the point of national subjugation and genocide.
Instead of surviving in the cracks, it is better to rely on neighbors who are rising strongly!
After conquering Bird Country and Land of Rivers, all the encircled land formed by the three great kingdoms of earth, wind and fire has become the private territory of Nagato! (The territory under the jurisdiction of Nagato is as shown below)
Rain Country After annexing the six countries, the land area is enough to be comparable to that of the big countries. However, for the sake of keeping a low profile, the country name has not yet been unified for this new land.
Otherwise... the sixth largest country and the sixth largest ninja village will emerge out of nowhere, which will surely cause a major earthquake in the entire Shinobi World.
Nagato did not want to reveal his ambitions prematurely, so he concealed the fact that Bird Country and Land of Rivers had joined the country, and retained the original country name of the Six Nations, as well as the ninja village of Shikoku Kusotaki Shimota.
Ironically, while Five Great Shinobi Villages's movie stars are still trying their best to express their loyalty to their respective daimyo in order to obtain more construction funds, Nagato has turned against Tiangang, seized power, broken the identity barrier of the ninja's "workers", and become the real "capitalist class" of Shinobi World's masters of power and evil.
As for the timing of the showdown, Nagato has an idea in mind.
Obito Uchiha has gained greater power than before. Today's Kirigakure is actually still under the control of Obito. The era of Blood Mist is not over yet.
"Obito and I will fall out sooner or later, and then I will have to clean up the mess left by Blood Mist..."
"Mei Terumi will not be Mizukage as she wishes this time, because it is not in our Amegakure's interests, and personally, she is also one of my Pain Animal Path candidates."
"So... I will focus on cultivating 'Bai' from now on. When the time comes in the future, I will push Bai to the throne of Mizukage. This will actually put one of Five Great Shinobi Villages in my hands."
"At that time... Yuwu joins forces, plus Minato is on the side, three against three. I guess the stubborn old man Ōnoki, Lei Zi, and Rasa will be speechless, right?"
Bai Ke didn't know that the moment he recognized his godfather, he was the default candidate for Mizukage.
What he was thinking was: In this ninja world, there is no free favor. My father took me in, and he must have made me his tool, because Lord Zabuza did the same thing. But it doesn't matter, I don't care whose tool I am, as long as Lord Zabuza is safe in the end, it doesn't matter what I do.
Passing through the end of the bamboo forest, a beautiful Japanese-style courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers caught Bai's eyes.
The name of this courtyard is 'Guardian Pavilion'. In the Chinese character "roy" is the homophone of jade. The meaning of jade in the world of Hokage will not be explained.
The children adopted by Nagato all live in the Guardian Pavilion.
In front of the Guardian Pavilion, a kunoichi with blue hair and a strong figure like Konan stepped out and knelt down in front of Nagato and Konan!
"Your Highness the Daimyo, Mistress, Guren welcomes you both!"
That's right, she is the 'Guren' who was loyal to Orochimaru Otogakure, and Kekkei Genkai who has Crystal Release.
Now Orochimaru and Nagato are as close as one family, and Guren naturally falls under Nagato's command.
Although Guren is a Amegakure ninja, she is not under the control of Lord Pain in name. Her identity is a retainer of the Rain Daimyo, which is equivalent to Twelve Guardian Ninja of Fire Country Konoha.
Guren is also the person in charge of the Guardian Pavilion.
"Get back on your feet." Nagato said, "Call the children out. I have something I want to announce to everyone."
Guren glanced at Bai behind Nagato and Konan, and was surprised: What a beautiful little princess... is she the new daughter of His Highness the Daimyo?
She turned around and blew a long whistle.
"Whoosh!" There were crowds of people moving... Soon, Guren was covered with half-grown men behind him.
Guren was about to say something... A white-haired boy walked out of the crowd, carrying a sword that was taller than the others!
When he came to Bai, he grinned his little tiger teeth and said familiarly, "Hello, my name is Hozuki Suigetsu~, I am the ninth son of my father~! Don't look at me as young, but I am the strongest among this group of people~! Hehe~! You are much prettier than Tayuya, you are my type~! Are you willing to be my female vote?"
Tayuya said dissatisfied, "Suigetsu, stop being such a bastard! I admit that you are quite handsome! But the strongest person is not you, but brother Kimimaro!"
Suigetsu smiled and said, "Brother Kimimaro won't live long. When he dies, I will be the strongest!"
Kidōmaru said angrily, "Hey!! You are too young, Lao Jiu!!!"
Kimimaro smiled softly and said, "It's okay, Suigetsu, what my brother said is also true."
Bai looked at Suigetsu and noticed the big knife on his back.
This is Kubikiribōchō from Kirigakure. Lord Zabuza mentioned that his first favorite was Kubikiribōchō, but this knife was different from it more than ten years ago. The whereabouts of the owner Jūzō Biwa are unknown. I didn't expect to see Hozuki Suigetsu in Amegakure. Could he be the senior Hozuki Mangetsu...
Bai smoothed his hair on his temples and said, "Hello, brother Suigetsu, I'm really happy to be favored by you, but I'm afraid I won't be able to respond to your request..."
The shy look on Bai's face... made Suigetsu's heart beat fast.
"Hehe, it's okay... we can start with brother and sister!"
Bai's face turned red and he said, "That's probably not possible, because I am..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, kill!!!! Kill you guy!!!!"
Suddenly... a murderous roar came from behind the crowd!!
I saw... Cursed Seal on Jūgo spread rapidly!!!
"Not good...!!! Jūgo's murderous intent is rampant!!!!!!"
"No way!! Brother Jūgo has never acted violently in the presence of father and mother!!!"
"Could it be that... what Suigetsu said just now stimulated Jūgo!!!"
"Ouch, ouch, kill...!!!!"
Jūgo's arm produced Cursed Seal polyps, heading towards Suigetsu and Shiro...!!!
"Not good!!!" Guren immediately asked Hand Seals to stop it.
"Don't panic." Nagato stopped her with his eyes. He glanced at the bamboo forest in the distance with a doting smile in his eyes.
There, the little figure with the 'Thunder Saber Fang' on her back was approaching quickly, her red twin tails fluttering wildly, she bared her pointed little tiger teeth, and the corners of her mouth were raised!
"I just came back and saw Jūgo Nissan Cursed Seal running wild! Just in time to show my parents what Nannan is capable of~!!!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" While running, his little hands formed seals!
"Wood Release..."
