Yuyin Village.
Tower.
In the dark, airtight and dull room, one could vaguely hear the sound of the steel building outside the tower colliding with the rapid rain.
Dark hall.
Bai Yu looked directly at Nagato's reincarnation eyes, and an inexplicable complaint came out of his heart:
"Please look at vcr!"
Nagato was as skinny and sunken as a mummy. His face had not changed at all before he was bandaged. He was not interested in what Bai Yu was going to do next.
Of course, Nagato didn't care very much. He only cared about the main purpose of the other party's sudden visit.
It doesn't matter whether the other party has seen his penetrating appearance with his own eyes.
From just now to now.
Nagato didn't see any dislike or fear towards him in the eyes of the red-haired boy in front of him.
Usually this look.
It will not appear in the eyes of a person who sees him for the first time.
The entire ninja world.
After he was squeezed out of most of his life force by the heretic demon, and became neither human nor ghost, only Xiao Nan, who had been by his side, looked at him like this.
When the "Madara" saw his true form for the first time, his expression was slightly trembling, even though the other person tried his best to hide it.
Nagato didn't know.
The one in front of him.
In fact, I have known him a long time ago, and I have long been used to seeing him look like he has been squeezed dry by the Ten-Tails.
The eternal kaleidoscope patterns around Bai Yutong's hole rotate quietly, and the Yin Escape Chakra attributes are released.
He drew a certain memory in his mind into a genjutsu, used children's magic as a medium, and then packaged it and injected it into Nagato's mind.
This is the memory scene of Bai Yu communicating with Otsutsuki after he coaxed Ino to sleep, meeting Otsutsuki, and then sending Otsutsuki away.
at first.
Nagato did not have any emotional fluctuations in the illusion. When he saw Otsutsuki's spirit style appear as a bystander, his expression immediately became extremely solemn.
In an extremely real fantasy world.
Unable to control Tendo Payne, Nagato faced the pressure from Otsutsuki. Every time he looked at the opponent's golden-lighted Rinnegan, he felt as if there was some kind of heavy weight pressing on him.
This was not something Bai Yu did deliberately.
For the chakra-possessed creatures in the ninja world, Otsutsuki is born with some kind of psychological pressure.
At first, Bai Yu also had this situation when he faced the spiritual style, but later on he found his own position and this pressure became much weaker.
to the follow-up.
While Bai Yu can face the spiritual style directly, he can also drink tea with her and have a smooth conversation.
Although Nagato has the Rinnegan Eye, his body, like Bai Yu's, has a whirlpool physique after Otsutsuki's thinning, so he is somewhat uncomfortable facing the main family.
after a long time.
Nagato exited the illusion, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his breathing became slightly faster, and his expression was extremely heavy.
This change was not due to fear of Otsutsuki's spirit style after seeing her.
Nagato listened carefully to the exchange between Bai Yu and Ōtsutsuki. Before, through the last conversation in the Land of Waves, Bai Yu had opened up a corner of the world view, but tonight it had been completely overturned.
Outside the ninja world, it turns out that there are powerful non-human creatures.
Those humanoid creatures call themselves the Otsutsuki clan.
Nagato's Adam's apple squirmed, and at this moment, even the pair of samsara eyes that glowed with pale purple light in the sunken eye sockets became a bit dim.
The uneasiness he felt about the unknown had never been like this for a long time. It was magnified several times and hit his heart.
This would also make him believe.
His eyes, which are the same as those of the Sage of Six Paths, come from the Otsutsuki clan in the sky.
Including the Six Paths Sage, he is not a real sage himself, he just has the diluted blood of the first generation of humans and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Nagato patiently digested the huge information contained in the conversation between Bai Yu and Otsutsuki.
All of a sudden.
The dark and closed room fell into silence again, both of them lost in thought.
Originally, Bai Yu was the only one who couldn't sleep tonight, but now, there were two.
Bai Yu used the Eternal Kaleidoscope to scan around in the darkness, found a clean and dry futon on the ground, and immediately sat cross-legged opposite Nagato.
There is only this futon and a long machine chair placed with its back against the wall. In addition, there are six rectangular containers arranged at the back of the hall. The coffins look neat but eerie.
When Bai Yu sat down, he could vaguely smell the fragrance of a woman. He raised his eyebrows, looked down, and then knew whose seat this was usually.
Bai Yu was not impatient.
Wait patiently for Nagato.
Even though it was already late at night, he was full of energy and didn't have to worry about sleep problems. He couldn't sleep after listening to the various information revealed by Otsutsuki Reishi.
About ten minutes later.
Nagato calmed down, turned his face sideways, his samsara eyes had returned to calm, he opened his split and dry lips and asked:
"You want me to join you?"
Bai Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, you should know that the companion I am talking about is you."
Nagato had long thought of this possibility.
In the entire ninja world.
Bai Yu's current strength can only be said to be halfway into Otsutsuki's lowest level.
And Nagato is a real existence with the Samsara Eye, and his own strength is also close to or equal to the lowest members of Otsutsuki.
certainly.
In addition to the two of them, Jiraiya is also very strong, but when going out to hunt Otsutsuki, only Nagato, who can control the Six Paths of Payne, is the most suitable to be Bai Yu's teammate.
Jiraiya can be used as a spare tire.
also.
The top strong men in the ninja world are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled, such as the fourth generation thunder who lost his hand, the seriously old third generation earth, the relatively weak fifth generation water, and the fifth generation wind who has not grown up.
Every time I think about this.
Bai Yu felt sad. If he didn't have strong teammates, he wouldn't be forced to cooperate with Nagato and the fugitive Otsutsuki now.
"Nagato, you have no choice." Bai Yu said calmly: "Neither do I. In this world, when facing Otsutsuki, if even we shrink back, there will be no hope for the ninja world."
Nagato remained silent.
It's been a long time since I recovered from the collapse of my three views.
He over the years.
He worked hard to capture the tailed beasts in order to usher in an era of shock to the ninja world. He wanted to control the tailed beasts to bring peace to the ninja world.
But now Bai Yu told him.
The tailed beast you want to capture is only one-tenth of the energy in the body of the foreign invader. Even if you capture all nine tailed beasts, you will not be able to resist the foreign invader without absorbing the energy of this planet.
The enemy of the ninja world from beginning to end is not from within the ninja world, but from heaven!
This reality is so absurd and oppressive.
Just after watching the conversation between Bai Yu and Otsutsuki, Nagato suddenly seemed to have lost the meaning of his own existence.
"I know it may be difficult for you to accept the reality." Bai Yu's expression was solemn, and he continued to brainwash... and comforted: "But reality is like this. In this world, there are still all kinds of dangers that you can't expect, magical and real."
"Then let the humans of this world realize the cruelty of reality first."
Nagato frowned and said with a ferocious expression:
"Then let the major ninja villages feel the cruelest pain first!"
Nagato, who had lost his goal, was confused by what he said and what he was thinking.
He not only wanted to stop Otsutsuki, but also wanted to be a god and punish those humans who had committed crimes and punish those Otsutsuki who had harmed the Rain Ninja Village.
Contradictions completely broke out in Nagato's mind.
The chaotic storm of thoughts made Nagato's eyes widen, his expression tensed, and the thoughts deep in his mind were overwhelming, and there was a dull pain.
"Human beings will never remember the pain of yesterday. Just like wheat in a rice field, large pieces will fall when the wind blows, but the fallen ears are connected to the ground and will grow wildly again in the coming year."
Bai Yu was thoughtful and sighed:
"I can't guarantee that the ideal world you imagined can be realized in the ninja world, but I am a person who is afraid of trouble. Only when the trouble is solved can I sleep peacefully."
The implication is simple.
Before Bai Yu sees stability in the ninja world, he will take practical actions to calm all chaos.
Nagato took a deep breath and suppressed his endless thoughts. He didn't know what choice to make.
He tried the path that Yahiko insisted on, the path of pursuing Mr. Jiraiya.
But that doesn't work at all in the ninja world.
And now.
Bai Yu told him that the road he imagined had never existed.
How could this make him accept the reality, after so much effort had already been made!
"You go back first!"
Nagato's originally bowed head had no energy at all at the moment. He lay weakly behind the machine chair, listless, and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Bai Yu stood up slowly and sighed softly:
"In three days, even if you don't help me, I will launch a plan to hunt Otsutsuki Ishiki. If you choose to believe me, the ninja world may have a future."
Finished.
Bai Yu once again located the coordinates of Konoha in his mind, closed his eyes, and disappeared.
Until Bai Yu disappeared.
Nagato calmed down.
He raised his palm slightly and controlled the puppet in one of the rectangular containers in front of the hall at will.
Nagato didn't have the intention to see which of the six paths it belonged to. Nagato's expression kept changing and he forcibly controlled it to walk out of the room to find Konan.
…
…
As the space shook slightly, Bai Yu's body was outlined in the mountain flower shop as if it were painted with a brush.
He came to Ino's bedroom again.
He opened the door and took a look at the girl who was still sleeping peacefully, and then walked to the bedroom that belonged to him in the mountain flower shop.
Bai Yu moved the chair next to the bed to the window, then sat down, looking at the full moon in the sky, and continued to think about how he should hunt in three days.
A long time ago.
Whenever there is time.
It's not like Bai Yu has never thought about Yi Shi. He has always been very wary of this monster lurking in the ninja world.
But before the Fourth Ninja War breaks out, there should be no stories about him in the Ninja World.
But now, the wheel of history in the ninja world has veered off the track, and it is unclear whether it is heading to heaven or hell.
As long as you use the Otsutsuki Rei Style as bait, you can definitely catch one and absorb the power from his body.
Anyway, the ending of Ichifuigai is also a dead end. The villains who oppose the protagonist group usually have no good ending.
Rather than letting Isshiki live until Boruto's time to commit evil, it would be better for him to become a pedal now.
Of course, without the appearance of Otsutsuki Spirit Style, Bai Yu wouldn't dare to touch this guy at this stage.
There is no Samsara Eye in Ishiki, and the most you can harvest from hunting him is one chakra fruit containing huge energy. The gain does not feel very big.
But it's different now.
Bai Yu can be regarded as the person who held the thigh temporarily. After three days, he quietly watched the spiritual moves, looking for the best opportunity, and went up to assist and brush up his proficiency.
Just when Bai Yu was lost in various thoughts.
The sky outside the window changed from pitch black to gray, and it was almost dawn, but Bai Yu was still not sleepy.
He slowly stood up and stretched.
But knowing that tonight in a small ninja village in the ninja world, there was also a person who couldn't sleep because of these trivial matters, Bai Yu suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
When something happens in the ninja world, you can't let yourself carry it alone. You have to learn to share your worries.
Go to the bathroom to wash up.
Bai Yu felt a little more energetic.
Today he had to hold a Kage-level meeting in Konoha, which was related to the ninja alliance, and he had to hold on for another day before he could rest at night.
…
…
The land of rain.
As the day dawned, the heavy rain gradually subsided and turned into a long light rain.
Tower.
In the dark room, Nagato stared without blinking, still thinking about the questions Bai Yu left for him before leaving.
After listening to his description last night, Xiaonan didn't know how to advise Nagato on how to choose.
She stood in front of the machine chair and personally made breakfast for Nagato, who had stayed up all night and had dark circles under his eyes.
"If you cook less, you won't be able to eat it."
Nagato looked at the top of the room. Although there was a steel wall in front of him, he could sense the current situation of the entire Rain Ninja Village.
Xiaonan nodded slightly and continued busy.
a long time.
Nagato said helplessly: "Do you think I should believe Bai Yu?"
Xiaonan shook his head, and then said:
"I don't know, but I know that I would rather try to believe in Bai Yu than believe in that Madara."
Nagato nodded slightly:
"Well, I collect tailed beasts to scare the major ninja villages and bring true peace to the ninja world. However, their purpose of collecting tailed beasts is puzzling."
Konan thought of Obito and Zetsu, her cold expression did not change at all, and replied: "Yes, everyone will say nice things on the surface, betrayal is the most lacking in the ninja world."
Nagato closed his eyes, leaned back on the machine chair again, and said no more.
…
…
Three days later.
Konoha successfully held the "Five Shadows Conference" meeting, except that Konoha sent acting Hokage Kakashi.
The Fourth Raikage Ai, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara all participated.
Of course, in this meeting, Zuozhu, who was not deceived by the second class, made a scene in the conference room.
Although Gaara and Terumi Mei's two Kage Ninja Villages have joined the Uchiha Ninja Village openly and secretly.
But out of politeness, the other ninja villages still invited them with Bai Yu's approval.
The two of them are now on Bai Yu's side. Bai Yu is happy to see Gaara and Terumi Mei grow up quickly and help him do things.
In the evening, the sun sets in the flower shop in the mountains.
Bai Yu sat at the door of the hall, quietly watching the direction of Yu Ren Village.
Terumi Mei, who came to Ino's house as a guest, was accompanying Ino to clear the table after dinner.
Since that night, I made plans with Lingshi.
She did not contact Bai Yu again.
This shows that the other party is very confident in hunting Yi Shi.
"Are you worried?"
Gaara slowly came to Bai Yu's side, and immediately sat on the clean wooden board, looking in the direction Bai Yu was looking.
