Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Super movie level...?"

Looking up at the huge ice coffin that was still sending out a bone-chilling chill, as if it would stand forever on the border of the Land of Rain, Yahiko sighed and said with great emotion:

"Are the levels above the Five Shadows like this almost god-like, natural disaster-like existence?"

"After all, it is a higher-level existence that can completely crush the 'shadow'. It is normal to have such power, right?"

Kaguya Rei patted the ice coffin with Hanzo sealed next to her and said casually:

"Genin is a one-on-one complete suppression of ordinary people. When facing ordinary soldiers, chunin can easily defeat one against a hundred. Elite jonin in perfect condition can capture a city with one person. And for those who have In the name of 'Shadow', and for ninjas of equal strength to 'Shadow', they can defeat the entire military power of a small country alone..."

"Those who can form an absolutely irresistible crushing force against the military power of small countries. Looking at the ninja world, there are only five ninja villages under the command of the five major countries. So by analogy, the ninjas who can crush the shadow of a village are, roughly speaking, Do you have the power to challenge one of the five great ninja villages and win?"

"Challenge one of the five major ninja villages and win..." Listening to this description, Yahiko, who had almost exhausted all his talents just trying to reach the Jonin standard, couldn't help but feel dazed, "That kind of thing can really be done. ?"

"Can't you do it?" Kaguya Rei asked casually while removing the unused sea of ​​clouds in the sky and letting them turn into heavy rain again and fall on the land of the Land of Rain.

Yahiko looked at the sea of ​​​​the sky that was pouring down towards the Land of Rain, closed his mouth, and nodded obediently.

Although there is a reason to take advantage of the geographical location of the Country of Rain, being able to freely control a sea of ​​sky covering a ten-mile radius in the palm of your hand is enough to make everyone who sees this scene feel sincere. I was impressed.

"Okay, this crisis has almost been resolved. Let me explain some things to you. It's time for me to go back. The meeting over at Kirigakure is only halfway through. If you delay here for too long, you should be complained when you go back. Already..."

Kaguya Rei turned around and walked in front of the four people from the Akatsuki organization through the gradually parting rain curtain. While taking off his black-bottomed red cloud robe, he said unhurriedly:

"Judging from the current situation, the bet we negotiated before should be considered a great victory for me, right? So after you settle down the Akatsuki organization, Nagato, remember to get the Uzumaki clan's members from that Uzumaki fire Make a copy of all the secret techniques and send them to Kirigakure along with your own cells... There should be no problem with this, right?"

"No."

Nagato nodded affirmatively. For him, the lives of Yahiko and Konan, his companions who established the Akatsuki organization with him, were much more important than the secret skills of the Uzumaki clan. These things were used in exchange for Kaguya Rei's rescue. Recruiting most members of the Akatsuki organization is obviously a very good deal.

As for what Kaguya Rei will do with his cells...

Nagato had no channel to understand, nor did he want to understand.

"Very good, then you still have about a month to recuperate and recover," Kaguya Rei raised her hand and poked the ice coffin that was still giving off bursts of chill, and said lazily:

"Although the seal of the Eternal White Coffin is filled with my chakra and combined with the special weather conditions of the Rain Country, it is still a rootless tree and boundless water. It cannot exist forever... One month, at most. Yueyue, Hanzo will be able to break free from the seal of the Eternal White Coffin and break out of it. When the time comes, you will have to solve the problems between him and Yuyin Village on your own."

"...Wait a minute, isn't Hanzo dead!?" Jiraiya interjected with some astonishment: "Being sealed in such an extremely cold ice coffin and without food, drink or supplies for a month, even so, he can still Did you survive!?”

"If I want him to die, why would I need to use this level of sealing technique?" Kaguya rolled her eyes and expressed deep contempt for Jiraiya's sudden inability to turn around:

"It's precisely because you want him to survive that you use the sealing technique. Jiraiya, couldn't you have been hit in the head by Orochimaru? Otherwise, why would you ask such an incompetent question? Oh yes. You even left your job in Konoha and came to join the Akatsuki organization incognito..."

Jiraiya's old face darkened, and he immediately looked around and said:

"Ah hahaha, the weather like this is really suitable for finding a home wine bar to have a few drinks..."

The three members of the Akatsuki organization did not play tricks along with Jiraiya's rhythm. Instead, Yahiko spoke up and asked in a very serious tone:

"Leaving Hanzo, who can make a comeback soon, and Amegakure, who doesn't know if he really obeys our orders... Is this a test for us?"

"Enemies of Hanzo's level are very rare in the entire ninja world. If you want Nagato to unleash the power of his Rinnegan as soon as possible, the enemy will definitely not hold back." Fighting is necessary.”

Kaguya Rei nodded to Nagato, whose expression suddenly became serious, then looked at Yahiko and Konan, and said in a deep voice:

"If Hanzo is a test left for Nagato, and Amegakure Village is a test left for you two... Do you know the reason?"

"Nagato is the force to calm down the troubled times, and we are the ideals to maintain peace...?"

Yahiko took a deep breath and asked.

"The road to peace is doomed to be full of thorns, and peace and rule cannot be maintained by relying on one person's violence... In the Kingdom of Rain, I will put some things that are not suitable for the Kingdom of Water right away, but they have The absolutely necessary reforms and attempts are put to you for experimentation.

If peace-minded people like Yahiko and you are unable to properly understand and digest those things, then I will probably have to take strong measures to force everyone to implement my ideas first. "

"...I see, is this how you view us, Kaguya Rei?" Yahiko was silent for a while and asked with a complicated expression.

"All the gifts given by fate are often priced from the beginning..." Kaguya looked at Yahiko with a playful smile and the blank area behind Yahiko, "Or rather, compared to becoming me in the peaceful era, An experimental base for exploration, would you rather the Kingdom of Rain become Kirigakure's frontline position between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth?"

"Then the one in front is better."

Yahiko shook his head, stretched out his hand that had already been wet by the rain, and held Kaguya Rei's hand that was not stained by a drop of rain.

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

After the words fell, Kaguya Rei took a step back and said with a smile:

"Then I'll see you again in the future, everyone from the Akatsuki organization... I hope that when we meet next time, you will still be as full of expectations for the future and unwavering in the path you have chosen."

White smoke exploded, and Kaguya Rei, who had put on the Mizukage Goddess robe, disappeared under the heavy rain of the Land of Rain, and returned to the foggy Kirigakure Council Hall outside the window.

In the void behind Yahiko, a black and red eye slowly closed with a mixture of emotions.
