After getting the blueprints in the Korin Fortress, the task was successfully completed and did not take long.

After Ruri and Ayane returned, Shiraishi also managed to get the fortress design drawings he wanted, and in addition, there seemed to be a lot of battleship and weapon design drawings, which Ayane felt were very important, so he brought back all the relevant design drawings and materials.

After a cursory glance, Shiraishi is not very good at making warships and weapons, but in the military's research institute, there are scientists who specialize in the study of warships and weapons, and Shiraishi asked people to send these design drawings and related materials to those scientists who are good at researching warships and weapons, so that they can develop new weapons as soon as possible.

Especially the battleships, which Shiraishi attaches considerable importance to.

In the future, the development of marine resources will depend on these warships to deter other countries.

As for the rest of the weapon drawings, they are about the method of making convenient ninja equipment such as bombs and kunai guns.

Even if an ordinary soldier gets his hands on these weapons, he can pose a certain threat to the ninja. Especially the kunai gun, you only need to pull the trigger, you can continuously fire kunai, according to Ruri, who has fought against the kunai gun, the speed and power of the kunai gun can instantly injure ninjas who are not good at instantaneous body techniques, and if a large area is covered to attack, the lethality caused is considerable.

Overall, this mission can be said to be fruitful, and with these blueprints and materials, the military strength of the Oni Country can be further improved.

Of course, Zerotail is such a strange creature, and Shiraishi has not forgotten to receive it.

To be honest, the spies who were sent to monitor the ninjas of the country of the sky before did not find out the existence of 'Zero Tail', and if it wasn't for Ruri to bring Zero Tail back, Shiraishi wouldn't have known that there was such a power hidden in the fortress of the country of the sky.

According to some of the empty country documents brought back by Ayane, the so-called Zero Tail is a kind of monster composed of dark chakras.

It is not man-made, but a creature formed in nature.

When the people of the Sky Country discovered Zerotail, Zerotail's power was still very weak, and they fed on negative emotions such as despair and sadness of humans, and turned these emotions into their own strength, transforming them into incomparably cold dark chakras.

Although it is not a tailed beast, it has the same effect as a tailed beast.

After learning about Zerotail's properties, the Sky Country begins to secretly hunt humans in the ninja world, imprisoning them, channeling their sad despair and letting Zerotail suck it. Then, using decades of time, with the 'zero tail' and the core, a ghostly flying fortress was built.

With the completion of the fortress, the ambitions of the empty country also invisibly swelled dramatically, and during the Second Ninja World War, it began to declare war on the five major powers. Probably due to bad luck, the first stop of the Sky Country chose the Fire Country, the strongest in the ninja world, and finally ended in a crushing defeat under the strong power of the Konoha Ninja Village.

The remnants of the country of the sky defeated by Konoha did not extinguish their ambition to dominate the ninja world, and after recognizing the powerful power of the country of fire and Konoha, they turned light into darkness, and with the help of the chaos of the third ninja war, they continued to capture humans and enter the fortress, supplying Zerotail to suck food, in an attempt to restore Zerotail's power.

If it continues to hibernate, it may not be possible to revive Zerotail's power for more than ten years. It's just a blame.,This time the luck is even worse.,In the process of recovering the power of Zero-tail.,The fortress was served by two people, Ruri and Ayane.。 Zerotail has become the bag of the Oni Country, and without Zerotail's power, the fortress of the Empty Country has become a huge garbage dump, and there is no place for it.

It can be said that the power of the empty country is entirely due to Zero Tail.

Shiraishi has a considerable interest in this naturally formed monster.

In particular, Shiraishi's interest is even greater when he learns that Zero Tail is sucking the negative emotions of humans to create a dark chakra and thus increase his power.

If the power of Zerotail can be thoroughly studied, it may also be of great help to the study of tailed beasts.

"Thank you for your hard work, you just need to wait for the results to appear."

The results of this operation are numerous, but it will take a long time to research and manufacture these literal things into visible power.

When all these gains are fully consumed, they will be transformed into real and visible powers, which will definitely surprise the ninjas of the five major countries.

Ruri and Ayane didn't say anything and left the place quickly, they also had their own things to do.

Silence returned to the office, and after Shiraishi had dealt with today's affairs in the office, he went to the research room while he still had time.

Zero-tail research work began.

He wanted to apply the power of the tailed beast to the clone, and then strengthen the power of the clone to another stage.

I thought it would take a long time, but after getting Zero Tail and learning about its characteristics, Shiraishi became more confident in the study of tailed beasts.

Of course, we can't forget the corpse of Madara Uchiha, and the secret contained in that corpse may not be lower than that of the tailed beast, or even surpassed.

It just so happens that things in the country of ghosts are on the right track, and his subordinates are very enthusiastic about their work, so he, the leader, has a lot of free time to devote to research.

The riots in the ninja world never stopped.

Konoha and Kugakure go to war in the Land of Yu, a country of rain that had been devastated by war and had become fragmented was full of homeless wanderers who were pitifully begging on the road.

Not only the elderly and children, but also the young people began to beg on the roadside.

They have no strength, but they don't work. This is also a matter of course, because many factories and companies in the country of rain have gone bankrupt, and there are no jobs for the local people to work, let alone pay their salaries.

Not only begging, but also people who work hard and want food and remuneration hang signs in front of them that say 'do anything if you give money'.

Among them, most of them are women, with numb expressions, standing on the side of the road with empty eyes, wearing thin and gaudy clothes, taking advantage of the leaky umbrella, there is no way to shelter from the wind and rain, and their hair and clothes are wet from the rain, which makes people feel pitiful.

It doesn't have to be money, it is estimated that all it takes is a biscuit and a bag of sugar to bring these women back.

However, no one wants to do it.

If you can't even take care of yourself, you will get nothing but embarrassment to others.

Xiao Nan put on a hooded raincoat and put his hand in his pocket, wanting to give the last bit of money on his body to the begging people on the roadside.

An indifferent and ruthless voice sounded on the side:

"Even if I give them a handout now, it will only give them one more day to live."

Nagato was wearing the same costume as Konan, a black hooded feather coat, covering most of his face.

His words were emotionless, and there was no sympathy in his eyes as he looked at the people who had been displaced and lost their jobs.

Xiao Nan bit his lip and finally sighed lightly.

"If it was Yahiko, he would do it."

I don't know if it's nostalgia or self-deprecation, Xiao Nan lowered his head slightly, his face full of pain and remorse.

Having lost its organization and leader, the Land of Rain has become a subsidiary of the Land of Fire, and even the Village of Rain cannot be returned.

Because it is no longer the pure land they once was, and like this country, it has been trampled on by others.

"So he failed."

Nagato's voice was still emotionless, just stating a perfectly correct fact.

"This is what happens to losers, Yahiko, Hanzo-sama, and the country and the village."

It should have a bitter hatred for the Fire Country and Konoha, but Nagato didn't say hatred on his face, and even the joy and sorrow disappeared.

The indifference, the eyes that regard all things as equal, as if the gods are looking down on this hellish world.

"I know."

Xiao Nan trembled his body, and finally held back the last kindness in his heart, and did not look at these begging people, and did not look at the women who stood on the side of the road and could give up their dignity by giving up a piece of bread by others.

For the first time, she felt that the sorrow of being weak was such a painful lesson.

There is no such thing as peace, peace, which is fought and fought with blood.

"If you can't let go of the obsession in your heart, you better find a place to be incognito, Xiao Nan."

Nagato took a serious look at Xiao Nan and sighed.

Among all his companions, Xiao Nan was the kindest girl he had ever seen, and her kindness and compassion were incompatible with this ninja world.

But it is precisely because of her kindness and compassion that she is more likely to be hurt by this cruel world.

Nagato didn't want her to embark on this bloody path.

The road is destined to be accompanied by endless hardships.

Even in the future, he will go against his own teacher, and even ...... Knife edges are facing each other.

He was worried that Xiao Nan would not be able to do it when the time came.

"Nagato, you don't have to persuade me, I've already decided, Xiao's dream, I want to complete it with you. Because it's just the two of us. ”

Xiao Nan put away the complicated expression on his face, took a deep breath, and tried to make his expression indifferent.

That strong and cold expression made Nagato extremely painful and sad.

If he could, he didn't want Xiao Nan to be on the same path as himself.

But Xiao Nan is right, in the past, there were only two of them left.

The two of them, who have lost their homeland and their companions, have no place in this ninja world.

"Then let's go, I hope you don't do this kind of mercy again, because it makes no sense."

After Nagato said this, he braved the rain and walked forward.

Xiao Nan looked at Nagato's back and firmly followed.

To embark on this path means to give up all kindness and compassion and become cold-blooded, and to cut off mercilessly as long as those who stand in the way of the road, no matter how deep the bonds of the past may be.

◎

The rain roared, and countless canals appeared in the land that confronted the sky because of the rain.

The scenery of the Land of Rain lacks color, and the world turns black and white.

Nagato and Konan walked all the way in the direction of River Country.

Two hours later, the two of them walked to the border of the Land of Rain, and after walking a little further, they reached the border of the Land of River.

By the time we arrived, the rain had stopped and the blue sky had begun to show its face.

The sky, which is not covered by clouds and torrential rain, is very wide, and the sun is abundant and bright, as if to tell that all things are equal, and that all things on the earth are illuminated.

This colorful world is in stark contrast to the Land of Rain.

Step into the mountains of the country of rivers and see the dazzling sunlight shining on the rushing waterfalls.

Nagato and Konan cross the waterfall and there is a cave hidden behind it.

There is a lot of space inside, and the floor and stone walls are very flat, and there are signs of artificial excavation.

There were many rooms inside, as well as a huge training room dedicated to cultivation, all of which were the fruits of the hard work of the Bai Jues.

In addition to the weak combat effectiveness, the functions of these white absolute in other aspects are very good, and Nagato is very satisfied with this.

Walking to the door of a stone room, the long door did not knock, and directly pushed the door and walked in.

There was also a white Jedi standing inside, and in addition to that, there were six beds in the stone chamber, each with a corpse on it.

Black rods and spikes pierced deep into the flesh of these corpses, their complexion pale, their eyes closed, giving an eerie and terrifying impression.

After Hei Jue saw Nagato and Xiao Nan coming in, he immediately said respectfully: "Lord Nagato, according to your orders, the corpse has been prepared, and the prerequisites have all been prepared, and then you only need to inject the power of the reincarnation eye into the corpse to control it." ”

Unlike Nagato's indifferent expression, Xiao Nan didn't like this guy called Black Jedi.

It's pitch black, and at first glance it's a scheming dangerous existence.

And it's still the will of that Madara Uchiha, Xiao Nan hopes that Nagato will kill this kind of guy directly, so as not to turn back at a critical moment.

However, Nagato obviously had other plans, so he left Hei Jue behind, and Xiao Nan could only hide this idea in his heart.

But she secretly decided that she should always be on guard against this guy's backlash, and not let him hinder Nagato's plan.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Where, we are the faithful servants of Lord Nagato."

Hei Jue's extremely deferential words made Bai Jue on the side want to roll his eyes.

But because Nagato was here, he didn't say anything, just the corners of his mouth twitched.

Nagato ignored the black and white and came to a bed, looking at a corpse lying flat on it.

The upper half of this corpse's clothes are exposed, the muscles are strong, and countless knife wounds and sword marks are presented on it, which has been tempered for thousands of years, which also symbolizes that when this corpse was alive, it was a ninja who had experienced a hundred battles.

The leader of the rain - Sanshoyu Hanzo.

He snatched it from the underground exchange of money in the Tea Country, and let Bai Jun's body be easily restored.

Even if he dies, the will contained in this corpse should not be wiped out.

Nagato's face was neither sad nor joyful, and he just sighed softly.

Turning his head to look at Hei Jue and Bai Jue: "You guys go out, Xiao Nan stays and helps me." ”

Hei Jue and Bai Jue did not object, and walked out together, leaving Xiao Nan here to accompany Nagato.

After the black and white Jue went out, Nagato pressed his palm on the chest of Hanzo's corpse, lost his joy, anger and sorrow in his reincarnation eyes, stared at Hanzo's corpse seriously, concentrated Chakra in the palm of his hand, and injected it into Hanzo's corpse.

About five minutes later, Nagato was still injecting chakra into the corpse, frowning.

Xiao Nan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Nagato shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I sighed that Hanzo-sama's body is so tough, and after fusing the power of my reincarnation eye, maybe I can exert more power than when I was alive." ”

Xiao Nan was slightly moved, and his face was excited.

If so, Nagato has one more trump card in his hand.

As the leader of Yuyin, Hanzang's strength is undoubted, and he was attacked by the guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death that day, and he was seriously injured, which still made Shayin pay a heavy price.

It's unimaginable to make Hanzo's strength even better than when he was alive.

It took another two minutes for Nagato to stop transmitting chakra, and formed an incomparably complex seal at Hanzo, and his body trembled slightly, creating a strange connection with the corpse on the bedboard.

Hanzo's corpse on the bed board suddenly opened his eyes, which were the same reincarnation eyes as Nagato.

Full of majesty and coldness, Xiao Nan just saw Hanzo's reincarnation eyes, and his heart seemed to be held by a hand, breathing hard.

Xiao Nan could feel that at this moment, in Hanzo's body, an incomparably terrifying power was slowly awakening.

Hanzo stepped down from the bed, his movements stiff, like a zombie.

Walking in the stone chamber is also a board and a glance, which looks a little funny.

However, as his control strengthened, Nagato focused all his attention on Hanzo's corpse, and the stiffness of Hanzo's walking slowly disappeared, and he became a normal living body, and his limbs became flexible.

"Okay, the strongest Heavenly Dao has been produced, and it is most suitable for Hanzo-sama to serve as it. Next, it was the turn of the remaining five. ”

Nagato nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the other five corpses, and began to distribute the power of the Reincarnation Eye to them.

Fifteen minutes later, the other five corpses also got up from the bed board, first walking stiffly in the stone chamber, and after getting used to it for a while, the stiffness disappeared, and the movement posture was no different from that of ordinary people.

Six corpses lined up in a row, and Nagato came up to the corpse puppets and swept their faces one by one.

"The Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Shura, the Dao of the World, the Dao of Beasts, the Dao of Hungry Ghosts, the Dao of Hell...... From now on, their name is 'Payne Six Paths', and they will act in my place when I am weak. ”

For these six corpses, Nagato undoubtedly poured great effort into it.

At the same time, it is also to make up for the lack of one's own combat effectiveness.

He dispersed the abilities of the Eye of Samsara among the six corpses, and although each of them could only use the abilities of one system, for most ninjas, the six paths were enough to make them feel hopeless.

"Xiao Nan."

Nagato turned his head and looked at Konan.

Xiao Nan nodded, walked to the cabinet on the side, and took out six sets of newly made clothes from it, all of which were prepared according to the size of the six corpses.

Under the control of Nagato, the six corpses picked up their clothes one by one and put them on.

The clothes draped over the body were coats painted with red clouds, which made the aura on the six corpses even colder.

"Let's try the farthest control distance."

After the six corpses were dressed, Nagato opened the door directly, and controlled the six of them to run quickly along the corridor of the stronghold, through the exit formed by the waterfall, as if walking on the rugged mountain terrain, and then flew over the river, over the wilderness, and came to a green meadow.

The sun shines gently on the body, and the breeze blows gently, making you feel a comfortable atmosphere.

However, for the corpses of the Six Realms, these are the warmth that only the living can feel, and they cannot feel what the so-called comfort looks like.

Nagato, who was still in the stone room, saw the beautiful scene in front of him with the help of the special ability of vision sharing.

At the same time, it is also clear that the distance that the six corpses can control.

About twenty kilometers.

As soon as the range of twenty kilometers is exceeded, the control is weakened.

Within a radius of twenty kilometers, the heyday combat effectiveness of the six corpses can be guaranteed.

To test his limits, Nagato continued to let the six corpses move forward.

By the time it was thirty kilometers, the mobility of the six corpses had been halved.

By the time he reached forty kilometers, he could basically only run normally, and the power of ninjutsu was greatly weakened.

If you continue to walk, it is estimated that you will directly lose the sense of the six corpses.

Knowing the limits of what the six corpses could move, Nagato asked the six of them to return to the base.

Overall, the range of activities of the six paths of Payne is quite extensive.

As his strength grows, his range will continue to increase.

"How?"

Xiao Nan asked about Payne Liudao's situation on the side.

Nagato nodded and said, "It's perfect, but I think I can continue to get stronger." However, no matter how much it is enhanced, the combat power of Payne's Six Paths is extremely limited. ”

"After all, it is the power of the reincarnation eye that is scattered, and there will definitely be something lacking."

Konan thinks this is normal, so he comforts Nagato.

"Rest assured, I'm not dissatisfied. Next, you should also practice well, Xiao Nan. ”

Nagato shifted the conversation to Konan.

Xiao Nan's strength can be on par with Shangnin, but the strength of a Shangnin, to be honest, will not play a key role in the future battle.

Take the three people in the Ghost Country as an example, if they hand over in the future, Xiao Nan's strength may not even be qualified to watch them fight.

That's not a dimensional battlefield anymore.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment on his face and replied, "I know." ”

"I will let Ah Fei accompany you to practice, although he has a problem with his brain, his strength is the strongest individual in the White Jue, you can find him to practice."

"Okay."

Xiao Nan did not refuse and walked out of the room.

Watching Xiao Nan leave, Nagato exhaled softly, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

In fact, he wants Xiao Nan to stay away from the rights and wrongs of the ninja world.

It's just that Xiao Nan seems to have made up his mind to follow his path.

But to embark on this path, it takes more strength.

With Xiao Nan's qualifications, can he really grow to the point of helping himself?

Proceeding from reality, Xiao Nan does not have a blood limit, and the limit of the future has been clearly laid out in front of him.

It can't be said absolutely, but most of the ninjas who don't have the blood inheritance limit are ordinary ninjas.

Nagato is ready, if Xiao Nan's strength is not up to the mark by then, he will find her a peaceful country and let her spend her life in peace.

Nagato didn't want to see his companion next to him bleeding and crying.

Especially Xiaonan.

In this world, he is the only companion who can open his heart.

I only hope that the years will be gentle with her.

All the pain and sorrow, the killing and the sin, it is enough for him to carry it.
