Within the Rain Country.
The continuous rain in the sky slowly stopped.
Because of this war that lasted for several years, the quality of life of the people in the Rain Country was very poor.
It was almost to the point of running out of food and ammunition.
On the other hand, Konoha's supplies are not always sufficient. Even if the Land of Fire is strong, it can't afford such a long war.
Therefore, they maintained the strategy of exhausting the enemy's strength.
Whether it was Sanin or Wood Leaf's Ninjas, they tried their best to plunder all kinds of resources in the Rain Country, including food.
In an abandoned village.
Several Wood Leaf's Ninjas were searching every corner, hoping to find some leftover food.
When they found a house, there were some slight sounds from inside.
The Wood Leaf's Ninjas' eyes instantly became alert!
They all stared at the house!
Inside the house.
A scrawny adult man and woman had anxious expressions on their faces!
Hearing the sound outside, their faces became pale!
"Chang … Nagato, listen … hide behind!!"
The skinny middle-aged man said nervously to the skinny red-haired boy.
The woman also covered her face, crying slightly.
Nagato looked at his parents' panicked appearance, his pale face was also filled with panic!
"Bang!"
The door was opened!
As soon as he saw the Ninjas outside, the middle-aged man instantly became excited and rushed forward in front of Nagato and the woman!
"Whoosh!"
A kunai pierced through the air!
The sharp kunai directly pierced through his heart, instantly killing him.
"Baby … Baby's father!"
When the woman saw this scene, she also instantly cried out!
She quickly ran to the middle-aged man who fell down!
But just as she was about to make a move!
"Whoosh!"
A kunai pierced her chest again.
"Pata!"
The woman helplessly fell to the ground, blood gushing out from her chest.
Her eyes were still filled with hot tears, and blood slowly flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
She painfully struggled on the ground, slowly looking at Nagato who was watching all this with eyes full of pain and love.
"Gulp … Chang … Chang … Men … Run … Run …"
Even though her mouth was full of blood, she still used the last of her strength to shout in a muffled voice.
He watched his parents die in front of him in an instant!
Looking at the painful expression on her mother's face before she died!
His ears were still echoing with the last moments of her life!
Nagato was stunned …
Beside the corpse.
"Are they protecting this child …"
A Wood Leaf Ninja was surprised.
"Sigh … They're not ninjas To Endure The Rain … They're just a bunch of pitiful people …"
Another ninja sighed and said.
"This … It's my fault for being too hasty … I saw their movements … I was worried that there would be an ambush … sigh …"
The ninja who threw the kunai also blamed himself.
While Konoha's ninjas were talking, at this moment, the child standing in front of them was boiling with anger.
This world …
Without his parents …
Only this group of slaughtering executioners …
This world …
It should be destroyed!!!
Boom!
Nagato suddenly raised his head!
Under the cover of his long red bangs, his eyes changed in an instant!
"Go to hell!!"
Nagato's eyes were full of hatred, and he shouted angrily!
He let out a childish roar.
Several Wood Leaf's ninjas' eyes suddenly dimmed, and they collapsed to the ground, and their vitality slowly disappeared!
And Nagato, who seemed to have released some unknown ability, slowly fell to the ground as if he was exhausted.
In a secluded corner of the area.
A white figure was quietly watching all of this.
.
.....
In the Land of Fire.
Somewhere in a hidden valley, in a dark cave.
A skinny, white-haired old man was sitting quietly here.
"Huala … Huala …"
With a strange sound, on a huge dead branch behind him, a white figure slowly formed.
"Ahhh, as you wish, the child has awakened."
Hearing the white figure's words, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a thick darkness brewing in those eyes.
"Is … it … everything … is … going … as long as … everything is going according to plan …"
The old man said with a hoarse voice, and his tone was a bit strange, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Outside … What's the change recently … Zetsu?"
The old man asked slowly.
Hearing his question, White Zetsu said with a strange tone.
"You actually care about this, I thought you stayed in this cave for a long time and didn't care about the world."
The old man didn't blame him for his disrespectful words, but he said with a hoarse voice.
"The war … should still be going on …"
"The Land of Earth … the Land of Thunder … the Land of Wind … Hehe … Those kids from back then probably won't sit back and watch Wood Leaf grow stronger …"
"No matter when … War is normal …"
Listening to his words, White Zetsu snorted and said softly.
"Isn't what you want to do to start a war? Is it really good to be so disdainful of others?"
In this regard, the skinny old man glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"Disdainful!?"
"They're just a bunch of idiots who can't see through reality and can't escape from the shackles!!"
"This world is too realistic. If you maintain peace for your own selfish reasons, it will inevitably lead to war. In order to protect … love, it will inevitably breed hatred!"
"The cause and effect of this world cannot be cut off!"
"These guys … They're just doing meaningless things. When this war ends, a new era will come, and a new war will begin again!"
"Meaningless!"
"However, I have found a way to permanently end the war and let the world be at peace forever!"
"Huff … Huff …"
After saying these words with some righteous indignation, the old man was obviously a little tired, and he was panting heavily.
He shook his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said with a hoarse voice.
"Forget it … I'll let them do whatever they want for the time being …"
"When I come back again, everything will have a new beginning, and I will let the world truly usher in an era of peace!"
Hearing his words, White Zetsu nodded and said softly.
"Do you remember the huge Chakra that you felt at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth?"
In this regard, the old man opened his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Have you found the caster?"
White Zetsu nodded and said softly.
"It's a young ninja from Wood Leaf, named Yuusuke Fuji, and he's a bit strong. He found my clone, and I couldn't fight back."
Hearing the name Yuusuke Fuji, the old man thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Observe and see what kind of person he is. That guy's strength is good. At this time, I may need more people to help me do something."
"Also, that kid Nagato must always be within the range of surveillance."
"Okay, you can go down."
Hearing the old man's words, White Zetsu's body slowly merged into the earth.
Seeing this scene, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
Hashirama … The peace you can create … is broken …
Next, let's see what I can do …
No one answered him.
Cave.
It fell into darkness again …
