Ninja World No. 7, Konoha 83rd year.

That is 15 years after the end of World War IV.

Above the ruins of the Rain Village in the Land of Rain, two figures suddenly appeared.

Obviously, Xia You brought the Impure World Nagato of the No. 5 Ninja World to the normal future world 16 years later.

“Where is this…?”

Nagato looked at the entire ruined city in front of him, and the slight excitement of traveling through time and space was instantly shattered.

"This is the Rain Village 16 years later."

"Why, you can't recognize me?"

Xia You smiled faintly and explained casually.

Nagato stood there in a daze, looking into the distance.

He naturally recognized the familiar village before him. Even though it had turned into ruins, Nagato still knew it by heart.

There are Yuchi Tea Shop that sells scented tea, Mrs. Pig Shop that sells meat buns, Yuanzu Shop that sells meatball skewers, and specialty shops that provide amorous services, etc.

Every family and every building is imprinted in Nagato's heart.

This was the village where he grew up, and it was also the city he rebuilt and developed step by step after defeating Hanzo of the Salamander.

It is also the hometown where hundreds of thousands of people from the rain-affected countries depend on for their survival.

How could Nagato not be familiar with it?

Even the tall tower in the center, where he and Konan lived, was once the gathering base of the Akatsuki organization!

Even though it has become rusty and dilapidated, Nagato will never forget it easily.

It is precisely because of the familiarity in the past that it feels strange now!

It was so strange that even Nagato couldn't believe it. This was actually his own Rain Village in the future!

“How could this happen…?”

Witnessing the tragic situation in Rain Village at this moment, even the determined Nagato couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

Even though he already knew the result, he had already made some mental preparations.

But the shock you get from seeing it with your own eyes cannot be erased by any expectations!

If this is really the future.

But it’s only been a little over ten years.

How come this city of ours, which is not prosperous but quite well-developed, has become even more desolate and dilapidated than it was after the end of World War III?

This shouldn't be!

This is impossible!

Didn't they say that this era has entered a peaceful era? Didn't they say that Naruto has become Hokage?

Why is the Rain Village even worse off?

Nagato roughly sensed that there seemed to be only a few dozen living people in the entire huge ruined city...

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past, it’s not even a fraction of it!

He simply couldn't accept such a future!

It’s a good thing that Konan didn’t come with us. She loves the Rain Village more than Nagato does. If she had seen this scene, she would have been even more upset!

"Peace for big countries has never belonged to small countries. You should understand this very well."

"I know, it's just that I..."

Nagato wanted to say something, but it all turned into a helpless sigh.

In the face of the stark reality of ruins, all ideals were shattered.

"Sir, you once said that there was some kind of Shell Organization conducting secret human experiments here? Are they the ones who turned the village into this?"

"Yes and no."

The decline and destruction of the Rain Village is of course partly due to the Kara organization.

After all, this is one of their outer bases, which is managed by core member Victor. They secretly capture and lure homeless children remaining in the ruins of Rain Village, and use them to conduct various forbidden experiments on the human body.

But in essence, the Kara organization only set its sights on the Rain Village after the Fourth World War.

And after the Fourth War.

The ninja world was indeed peaceful on the surface, but the various secret struggles and profit-seeking had never stopped.

As the border between three major countries, the Rain Village has a very special location.

In addition, without sufficient self-defense capabilities, it naturally gradually became a fighting area between various lawless criminals and foreign forces.

Even if the five major countries do not take action, there are still dozens of small ninja villages and small forces in the world!

I'll come and rob you today, fight you tomorrow, and capture a group of people and sell them the day after tomorrow...

Who can stand this?

Once this chaotic downward spiral begins, the Rain Village will naturally gradually break apart and collapse...

If Nagato were still alive, the Rain Village would still maintain its sovereignty and self-defense capabilities, and most lawless criminals would certainly not dare to act rashly; and the so-called Kara organization would not be able to encroach on this place and set up a large number of research facilities here.

Just like the Shell Organization doesn't dare to cause trouble in the five major villages.

simply put.

The Rain Village has no power to protect itself and relies on the charity of the great country for its survival.

It will eventually break into this shape.

This is accidental and inevitable.

Just like many other small countries and villages that have disappeared.

“I see… Is it really the same as what Yahiko said at the beginning?”

"No one else will come to save Rain Village. We are the only ones who can save this village!"

Nagato's thoughts became increasingly scattered and lonely, and he couldn't help but recall Yahiko's former ideals.

At that time, Yahiko had the ability and opportunity to leave the Rain Village.

But he still chose to stay!

He did not rely on his master Jiraiya, nor did he place his hopes on other people. Instead, he established his own Akatsuki organization, attempting to save the Rain Village step by step and revive the country!

And now, I clearly claim to have inherited Yahiko's legacy.

But it messed up everything...

But he failed Yahiko's ideals...

"Yahiko, I think I was really wrong!"

The heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was crying and lamenting for the broken Rain Village, and as if it was mourning Nagato's grief at the moment.

...

Nagato did not push away the rain curtain around him, allowing the rain to soak his entire body, as if hoping that the cold rain could wake him up.

"There has never been a child of prophecy. To create happiness for the Rain Village, we can only rely on ourselves!"

After a long time.

Nagato regained his spirits, his eyes becoming less confused and more resolute and firm.

"Sir, one last question, can this future be changed?"

"The reality here cannot be changed; but the future of Rain Village over there can be completely rewritten."

"Thank you sir, I know what to do now!"

"Please take me back!"

Nagato nodded in thanks, his resolve firming up once again as he spoke.

"Before you leave, do you want to meet the future Naruto here?" Xia You asked casually.

To be honest, I really want to see it.

What kind of expression will Naruto, now a quasi-Six Paths master, show when he sees his former senior brother Nagato and learns about the tragic situation in Rain Village?

Once upon a time, "Doing what you say is my way of ninja!"

In the end, I still lost to reality!

"No need, there's nothing to say when we meet."

Nagato shook his head and lamented. He was not in the mood for this at all, and there was no need for it.

By now.

So what if I go to meet the future Naruto?

To ask him why he didn't protect the Rain Village? Why he didn't fulfill his promise to me?

is that useful?

Can he restore the ruined Rain Village? Can he save the hundreds of thousands of residents here?

It simply can't be done!

Therefore, instead of spending time and energy confronting Naruto, it would be better to think about how to change the future! How to rewrite everything!

……

...

at the same time.

"boom--!"

Violent explosions and collapse sounds were heard from underground in the center of Rain Village.

That was the explosion of the explosives buried underground by the Shell Organization, in an attempt to bury all the people who came to investigate!

next moment.

A giant bird, a super beast of ninja magic, spread its wings and flew out from the collapsed underground base, and quickly climbed to the sky above the city.

One-armed Sasuke and Sai, who were in charge of the intelligence gathering of the Kara organization, were sitting on the back of the giant bird.

"It was a close call. I almost got buried alive. These guys are really extraordinary."

"This place has been abandoned. I guess Xinzi was deceived and used by them." The one-armed Sasuke responded coldly.

"But Xinzi said the shell is hope..."

"Maybe he is so desperate that he has to regard those people as hope? When people are in despair, they will subconsciously grasp any hope, even if it is just an illusion." Sasuke was deeply touched by this.

"By the way, what are those devices underground just now?"

"It should be some kind of special device for human experiments..."

"Human experiments? How evil!"

"Let's go, we should go back..."

Sasuke responded as he glanced around and below, searching for any other enemies.

suddenly.

He vaguely saw two figures standing on a tall building a thousand meters away, and the outline of one of them instantly awakened Sasuke's memories.

"That is?!!"

"What's wrong, what did you see?"

Sasuke blinked and looked carefully, but found that the place was empty and there seemed to be no one at all.

"No... I must be dazzled. That guy can't be still alive..."

"Is this the characteristic blurry eyes of the Uchiha Sharingan?"

"When did you learn to tell bad jokes?"

"This is to adjust the atmosphere."

"Let's go! Hurry back to the village. We should tell Naruto about this information as soon as possible!"
