"Mr. Shiraishi, you seem to be a little out of energy."

When Lin came to the laboratory, she saw Shiraishi sitting on a chair and not engaged in research work.

The other party's eyes were glazed, as if he was thinking about something.

It wasn't until Lynn reminded him that he reacted.

"It's Lin, why are you here?"

Shiraishi asked.

If I'm not mistaken, Lin shouldn't need to come to the lab to work here for the time being, just focus on the cultivation of the perfect human pillar power.

"Why am I here? A few days ago, Miss Kiriko made a report, right? The cultivation of the perfect human pillar power has almost been completed, and next, it only needs to be reconciled slowly. ”

Lin glanced at Shiraishi strangely, and then responded seriously.

"Uh, is there such a thing? That's probably because I didn't pay attention...... Well, yes, it's been more than two years since the beginning, which is close to what was originally envisaged, Lynn. ”

Only then did Shiraishi remember that there seemed to be such a thing.

However, at that time, because of some other things, I was distracted.

"So, Mr. Shiraishi, are you really okay?"

To make Shiraishi look so decadent, Rin thought to herself that maybe something was going on in the house.

In terms of work and research, she had never seen Shiraishi lose his temper like this.

"It's fine, it's just a little annoying."

Shiraishi shook his body and stood up from his chair and waved his hand.

A little? Lynn tilted her head, this is not a little bit.

"If you're upset, you can take a break, and I can take over the work here."

"You haven't touched an instrument in a long time, have you?"

"It's okay, it's my job, and I'll be able to get started soon."

Lynn replied confidently.

"Forget it, I'd better stay, the government affairs over there are finished, and only this side needs to be busy."

Shiraishi decided to stay and work in the lab anyway.

In terms of government affairs, in fact, the subordinate departments have been able to operate on their own, and the monitoring personnel are also trustworthy people.

What's more, there are several clones of his own who hold important positions in it, and if something goes wrong, he can save it as soon as possible.

Most of the time, Shiraishi thinks it's better to delegate power, and if he takes everything on himself, he will not only appear incompetent in his subordinates, but also make himself tired.

Because the subordinates are full of energy because they have beliefs and goals, Shiraishi is still willing to believe these people, and they don't dare to be lazy at will when it comes to big things.

And once the speculators are discovered, the punishment is quite severe.

"Okay, but it's really rare for Mr. Shiraishi to be like this, is it because of Ruri-senpai or Ayane-senpai? Or both? ”

Lynn put on a white lab coat and gloves on the outside for formal research work.

Since they have basically tamed the seven-tails in their bodies, they can save a lot of effort in the research of tailed beasts in the future.

"When did you stop gossiping like that, Lynn?"

Shiraishi was slightly speechless.

"It's really Shiraishi-sensei's appearance, it's very worrying."

"Instead of worrying about me, you better pay more attention to Obito. That guy's sluggishness is really worrying. ”

"Even if it's a fool, it's better than Mr. Shiraishi stepping on two boats."

Poof! was mercilessly stabbed in the heart by the disciple, and Bai Shi suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shiraishi, I didn't mean to."

Although he apologized, Shiraishi couldn't hear the sincerity of the apology, but instead gave people a smile on his face.

This disciple is also dark.

Obviously, when he was in Konoha before, he was still a holy and untainted white lotus.

"Recently, it's really bad feng shui."

Shiraishi sighed again.

"In other words, has Mr. Shiraishi recently become superstitious?"

Lynn laughed funny.

Shiraishi hummed softly, but did not refute.

It's really something that has happened recently, and it does make him feel like the feng shui at home is not good.

I thought that after sending the little witch away, the family would usher in a relatively peaceful life, but the incident of the colorful women's costume happened in the east window, and the righteous girl Fenghua Xiaoxue didn't know which tendon in her brain was wrong, so she didn't want to be a big name, but wanted to be a movie actor......

"Then why don't you go to the shrine to get rid of the demons? Shiraishi-sensei and Maitreya Shrine Maiden should have a good relationship, right? ”

Lynn said as she remembered something.

"Considering ...... But since you're here, the research of the tailed beast will be handed over to you, and after work, remember to hone the strength of the tailed beast and don't let your guard down. ”

Shiraishi reminded Lynn.

"Is it because of 'Xiao'?"

The 'Akatsuki' organization in the Land of Rain has revived, and although there is no definite news on the side of the Five Great Powers, the Ghost Country and the Fog Hidden Village have launched a secret investigation.

However, due to the secret cooperation between Shiraishi and Nagato, the investigation of Akatsuki in the country of Oni has also been suspended recently, which can be regarded as a promise to Nagato.

But this does not mean that Shiraishi will relax his surveillance of 'Xiao', he promised not to make a move on Xiao's side of the contract, and Wuyin Village did not sign a contract with Nagato, promising not to make a move on Xiao's organization.

Yakura secretly dispatched his subordinate, one of the ninja seven, to the military of the Oni Country for spy training, just to spy on Akatsuki'.

An organization that gathers S-class defector ninjas such as Orochimaru, Akasand Scorpion, and Beryuhu, Nagato is playing a big game of chess.

In order to achieve Akatsuki's goal, Nagato will definitely take action against the tailed beast.

Lynn's existence cannot be said to be without threat.

As far as Shiraishi knows, the limit of the Writing Wheel Eye is the Reincarnation Eye, which is a terrifying suppressive force for tailed beasts and human pillar forces.

This suppressive force, I'm afraid, is still on top of the writing wheel eye and Mu Dun.

Although Lynn is a medical researcher, she also has to master a little bit of the necessary combat ability.

The many abilities of the reincarnation eye are still an unknown number, and they should not be careless.

Shiraishi's silence is the best answer.

Lynn is a smart girl who knows very well what her situation is.

From the moment she was given a new life, she had nothing to do with Konoha.

This is her second life, but this second life, like a new life, does not seem to be smooth sailing.

"Unlimited Monthly Reading...... Is it really that good? ”

Lynn asked.

As Shiraishi's personal disciple, Rin was exposed to far more information than outsiders could know.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be standing here, conducting research on tailed beasts.

In her opinion, the infinite monthly reading is nothing but a self-deception, and such a peace cannot be called peace at all.

"Nagato's purpose is not to read it indefinitely, and even if it is, we don't know much about it, and the slug didn't personally witness that battle, and what it knows is limited."

Most of the ninja world is hidden, and Shiraishi knows it well.

But in many places, there is still no way to get a better explanation.

It is more in the interests of Shiraishi to let Xiao and the Five Great Powers fight and lose both ways than to lose their own people to test Xiao's depth.

As long as the persimmon is dry, it can enter the dawn smoothly.

At the right time, the threat of Akatsuki can be dismantled from within.

◎

Shiraishi is located in a private laboratory further along, conducting experiments alone.

After trading with Nagato that day, he became obsessed with yin and yang.

In addition to work and research, I will not forget to practice the secret art of Yin and Yang Escape.

Although it is named Yin and Yang Dun, it is actually fundamentally different from Yin and Yang Dun.

The profundity of its technique is also far more difficult to understand than the yin and yang escapes alone.

Yin and Yang escape is a legendary technique that comes out of nothing, and to a certain extent, it is complementary to one's own soul clone.

This is also the reason why he wants to make a deal with Nagato, because Yin Yang Dun can make all of his ninjutsu systems improve.

Not only clones, but also medical ninjutsu.

His medical ninjutsu has already joined the immortal system of the Wet Bone Forest, if he integrates the yin and yang escape that creates life into it...... Does it mean that you can be reborn with a severed limb?

Or can it be further delayed and longevity can be increased?

In Shiraishi's view, this is a promising thing.

The reason why Ruri and Ayane's bodies have remained at the age of eighteen or nineteen years old is caused by his immortal arts, which delays the aging of human body functions and can rejuvenate their youth.

For women, aging may be the enemy.

But this kind of youth is actually time-limited, and it is impossible to superimpose it permanently.

In the final analysis, Shiraishi has not yet studied the exploration of life to a higher level.

His medical ninjutsu can only reach the level of a broken limb without a seal, and if the fatal part is damaged, he will still die.

But now with Yin and Yang, it's different.

In Shiraishi's view, Yin and Yang escape is the secret art of exploring life.

Create life out of nothing...... If it can be combined with his immortal arts, he will live forever...... It is also theoretically feasible.

Of course, it is only theoretical, the power of the technique has been reached, but there is a limit to the human body.

To be honest, if you leave behind the natural energy and chakra, the creatures of the ninja world are actually very fragile.

In essence, human beings are still borrowing external forces to change themselves, constantly accumulating the burden of techniques, and sooner or later they will be counterattacked.

In Shiraishi's view, this kind of thing also follows the laws of nature.

But thinking of immortality, Shiraishi thought of the undead Kakuto, who was working as a debt collector in the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

The other is a ninja left over from the Sengoku period.

The ninja of his generation, the Thousand Hands Pillars are dead, and Madara Uchiha survived, but he is also a withered old man, and he has become old, weak, sick and disabled.

And the power of the years has not worked diagonally.

The land grievances of the horn capital can be kept alive by constantly exchanging fresh hearts.

But in Shiraishi's view, this is still a means of hunting life force to maintain bodily functions.

Shiraishi has studied the body of the horn capital, and all the life sources of the horn capital are on the tentacles of the earth's resentment.

It can be said that Jiaodu is already inhuman, and his example cannot actually become a universal example.

Resentment is also difficult to replicate.

If you play with the art of life, sooner or later you will be eaten by the art of life...... Shiraishi, who uses the art of spiritualization, cuts his own soul, and creates a soul clone, can be said to be one of the most rigorous ninjas in the ninja world who explores the art of life.

Yin Yang Escape can not only strengthen the soul clone and increase the medical ninjutsu, but it is also a good medicine for Baishi to expel the internal technique of the body.

Needless to say, Shiraishi had an idea a long time ago, and he was not yet thirty years old this year, not yet at the age when he felt that his years were fleeting.

"Yin Yang Dun is also a chakra-based technique, and sure enough, the direction I initially guessed was correct, so let's give it a try...... If it worked, it would be more interesting than expected. ”

A lot of the science in the ninja world is based on chakra and natural energy.

If you want to explore faster and more conveniently, you can't leave the study of surgery.

Chakra and natural energy are just the basics, but the technique is a tool for better exploring science.

The advanced knowledge of chakra and natural energy is actually very limited with the scientific instruments available.

For example, when it comes to the soul and life, many times, it needs to be constructed and maintained.

And the goal of the experiment is already there.

Shiraishi's eyes have a deep color.

Walked to the side of the glass cylinder, there was a human body cultivated in it, but it was an irregular human body, or embryo is more accurate, his bones, his flesh and blood, are still in a rudimentary state.

But Shiraishi felt a gaze, staring straight at him.

This gaze came from this unformed embryo.

"It seems that I already have the wisdom to discern the world, and it will take shape a little faster than I imagined, Yin and Yang, that guy from Nagato really gave me a great gift......

If Nagato hadn't come over to negotiate Yin Yang Escape, I'm afraid it would take him at least ten years in the future to make up for such a gap.

Yin and Yang escaped and opened a convenient door for him.

The role of these clones is not only to improve their combat ability and protect their own lives, but in essence, they are also the pathfinder stones that Shiraishi himself uses to explore the science of chakra and natural energy.

"I really want to see how you look like quickly......"

Yang doppelganger is the last doppelganger of Baishi.

It also means that Shiraishi's science of exploring chakras and natural energy has temporarily come to an end.

But Yin Yang Dun paved the way for him again, and this road, Shiraishi would feel that he could go further.

After Shiraishi finished muttering these words, the embryo inside the glass cylinder suddenly squirmed, and its narrow red eyes, shining with mysterious blood-colored light, bubbled and dispersed in the solution inside the container.

"Don't worry, it's not yet time for you to be born. As a 'ninja killer', I expect a lot from you......"

This may be the trump card he used to deal with Nagato's reincarnation eyes.

Preparing for a rainy day has always been Shiraishi's favorite thing to do.

Shiraishi doesn't like the word "always winning" and "no matter how strong a person is, there will be a day when he loses."

Therefore, it is just to increase the winning rate a little bit by preparing all kinds of means.

Although he has a very high level of confidence in the yang clone who has not yet been born, there are many secrets hidden in the ninja world, and the eye of reincarnation is still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, there is such a thing as means, and no matter how much white stone comes, it is not disliked.

"Mr. Shiraishi."

The door was pushed open, and Lynn showed her head on the other side of the door.

Although the lab was secretive, Lynn was allowed access to it at any time.

"What's the matter?"

"I have some questions I want to ask."

"Got stuck?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

After hearing this, Lin nodded, and just as she was about to withdraw, her eyes met the embryonic blood in the cylinder container, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

How to put it, it's strange.

It's still just an embryo, but it gives Lin a very dangerous feeling.

The seven tails in her body are also roaring in an extremely irritable manner, and this feeling is like encountering a natural enemy.

- This is something more terrifying than Mu Dun and Writing Wheel Eyes, what is your teacher creating?

Nanao said this in Rin's body.

The chilling breath was transmitted through the bloody eyes, so that the Seven Tails could not remain indifferent.

Obviously, he doesn't have the power of the six immortals, nor does he have the blood inheritance limit, in the final analysis, he is just a mortal who has learned the immortal art by luck...... However, that embryo was more fearful to Nanao than Sharingan and Mu Dun.

Lin knew that it was a yang clone created by Shiraishi.

It's just that compared to the past, the yang clone has undergone some earth-shaking changes.

However, this kind of thing is not something she can ask about for the time being, and it is obvious that Baishi has once again given the yang clone a more powerful technique system.

Thinking that Shiraishi seemed to have mastered Yin and Yang Escape recently, Lin was relieved.

Probably because of the Yin and Yang Escape technique, it became so terrifying.

After Rin exited the room, Shiraishi didn't stay long.

The road paved by Yin and Yang is not in a hurry for the time being.

Only after the Yang clone is completely formed, can he determine how 'accurate' his guess is.

After a few moments in front of the container, Shiraishi left the lab.

Staring at Shiraishi's back, he closed the pair of bloody eyes that could penetrate the essence of the embryo in the container, and fell into a calm and powerful breath to sleep.

◎

Yuyin Village.

A never-ending rain of sorrow.

Sitting on the rain platform of the tower, the long red hair was scattered, and the reincarnation eyes that had lost their seven emotions and six desires were looking down on the entire Yuyin Village with great indifference.

After many years, Yuyin Village has gradually regained its vitality, and commerce, ninja schools, and various livelihood problems have gradually improved because of the assistance of Orochimaru and others.

And with enough spare power, the influence will spread to the surroundings of Yuyin Village.

If this continues, it won't be long before the Land of Rain can be regained control here, and at least, the people don't need to worry about food anymore.

Nagato felt more and more that recruiting Orochimaru into Akatsuki was an incomparably correct answer.

Orochimaru's strength is secondary, he pays more attention to Orochimaru's clever brain, that genius of his whimsical ideas, and the ability to put those whimsical ideas into practice, which is where Orochimaru's real power lies.

As for the past festivals, they seem insignificant in the face of the general interests of the country.

Nagato felt that he should abandon some of the original secular rules, because the stronger he was, the more he could feel that the rules were made by the strong.

It's like the five great powers set the rules for the small ones, but they don't follow the rules themselves, and they repeatedly break the rules.

This is the power that comes with power.

If one day, you can work out the way that even the strong must follow the 'rules'...... Nagato is here, and the sky is gray and rainy.

Find yourself on the path to peace, with a long way to go.

At least the new 'rules', he is still at a loss.

Violence alone is inevitable, but excessive tolerance and compassion will only indulge human desires.

In any case, at the end of the road to peace, strength must be indispensable.

Just like the ninja god, Nagato wants to emulate it, no, to create a more reasonable system than the ninja god, so that everyone can abide by it, and then eliminate the war.

He thought Shiraishi could tell him the answer, but it turned out that Shiraishi was not a pacifist of any kind, he was a hegemon who was even more terrible than the five great powers.

However, if you force your will on others, isn't you a hegemonist? Nagato laughed to himself.

I'm drifting further and further away from the path that Yahiko set in the past.

This is probably the hell of reality.

No matter how bitter it is, he is ready to try.

Human beings can only grow up if they go through pain.

"Nagato."

Xiao Nan's voice sounded from behind.

"What's the matter, Xiao Nan?"

"They've arrived."

Xiao Nan's voice pierced through the rain curtain.

"Really? Before I knew it, I had been sitting here for a long time......"

Ever since Yahiko's death, he has loved the atmosphere of the rain.

But this sad rain could never extinguish the flame of hope in his heart.

The reason why he chose to be in the rain is because he wants to prove that no matter how painful and frustrating the road ahead is, many people will die in front of him, even Xiao Nan...... However, I will not give in to this.

Fought to the last moment for the cause of peace...... Just like Hanzo-sama, he has the determination to bring courage to this village and this country.

Nagato is ready to die, and his relatives and friends are once again painfully sacrificed in front of him.

Entering the tower, all traces of rain on your clothes have disappeared.

Black Jue, White Jue, Orochimaru, Scorpion, Beiliuhu, and Xiao Nan who came in with him have all converged here.

Nagato glanced at Orochimaru and asked rather strangely, "Did Orochimaru-san fight with anyone when he came?" ”

Orochimaru was a little embarrassed at the moment, and Akatsuki's uniform was also a little torn, looking tired, and he had obviously experienced a big battle.

Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded: "I've had a fight with Konoha's dark part, and Konoha has been pestering me a little tightly recently...... If you can't find the three of Chiba Shiraishi, you can only use my three ninjas as a punching bag. ”

Rather self-deprecatingly laughing.

Because he is only one person, it is easier to deal with in Konoha's opinion.

After all, letting an S-class defector ninja wander outside is very detrimental to Konoha's rule.

Orochimaru knows too many secrets of Konoha, which is one of the reasons why Konoha is reluctant to let him go.

"Do you need help from my side?"

The people in the organization are arrogant, but if danger occurs, Nagato will not sit idly by.

"No need, because I haven't acted with the scorpion during this time, I was exploited by the shadows of Konoha and next time it may not be who is chasing and killing whom."

Orochimaru laughed sadly.

"Well, be careful, Orochimaru-san. The shadows of Konoha are all made up of elite ninjas, and they should not be underestimated. ”

Despite believing that there is a more dangerous enemy, Nagato has no intention of underestimating Konoha.

The village handed down by the god of ninjas, no matter how down, is still a behemoth that is difficult to shake for the current Xiaohe Yuyin Village.

The way to defeat Konoha is not from the outside, but from the inside.

This is also the reason why Nagato supported the Black Jedi to dismantle Konoha and Uchiha.

If you want to defeat Konoha, you can only start from the inside, and the Uchiha is the easiest nail to shake inside Konoha.

As long as this nail is removed, it can make Konoha lose his vitality.

"So, what's the matter with summoning us over this time?"

The scorpion interjected at this point.

"The next steps will be a little bit different from before. But for you, it's not that difficult. ”

Nagato said calmly.

But everyone will not overstep because of Nagato's calmness.

Not feeling the pressure is the most dangerous part of Nagato.

"There's no problem with that, as long as it's paid enough."

This is the opinion of Beryuhu.

He joined Akatsuki, not for fun, but because Akatsuki could give him all kinds of help, such as intelligence and research help.

"Of course. Xiao Nan. ”

Nagato turned his head to look at Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan understood and stretched out his palm.

From the darkness of the room, a human body wrapped in a piece of white paper flew out.

Peacefully landed in front of Beryuhu.

The white pieces of paper flew apart under Xiao Nan's control, revealing the true face of the ninja.

Judging from the fact that the ninja still breathes, he is not dead, but a living person.

"This is the Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja who has the Void, and it is the first reward given. The next four Blood Inheritance Limit Ninjas will also be delivered to you in the next few months. ”

Nagato said flatly.

"Thank you very much, I'll work hard after that."

A deep smile appeared on Beiliuhu's face, very satisfied with this blood inheritance limit.

"Secluded? It seems to be a blood inheritance limit that can absorb ninjutsu......"

Orochimaru was thoughtful, he had heard of this kind of blood inheritance limit.

Nagato nodded, and then two scrolls flew out of his sleeve, flying towards Orochimaru and the scorpion.

"It's a gift for both of you, and I hope you enjoy it too."

"That's so kind."

Having said that, Orochimaru did not shirk it, and naturally accepted the gift given to them by Nagato.

When Orochimaru opened the scroll, three words were imprinted in his eyes - Yin and Yang Escape.

Orochimaru's eyes showed a fine light, and the smile on his face was even stronger.

With this, we are one step closer to immortality.

"Then, in the next few years, please work hard for Xiao."

Nagato then began to organize the tasks for the next few years, which were more formalized than in the past, and at the same time required the development of new team members and the expansion of the staff.

Whether it is a full member or a supernumerary member, it is a part of Xiao that is urgently needed.

After the meeting, Orochimaru and the others also disappeared from Yuyin Village in different directions.

Nagato looked at their departing figures, and walked again to the rain platform outside the tower.

The rain is coming again.
