Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

After leaving Arhat Hall, Nagato and Konan strolled together on the stone steps in the bamboo forest.

Bai followed behind the two of them not too far away. He had taken off his mask, revealing his long, shiny black hair and beautiful face. His big black gemstone eyes were filled with childlike innocence.

Xiaonan still hasn't recovered from the shock.

"Does this child really have a penis? It doesn't seem real enough..."

Since he has acknowledged Nagato as his godfather, then I must be his godmother... Thinking of this, Xiaonan counted with his fingers and muttered, "If Sosuke and Kurokoto are considered as one person, Bai happens to be the tenth child."

Yes. Including Shiro, Nagato has adopted ten sons and daughters over the years.

In chronological order, they are: Hydrangea, Karin, Kimimaro, Jūgo, Tayuya, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Sokon, Suigetsu, and Haku.

Hydrangea and Karin are single parents, and the rest are orphans without parents.

This adopted son and daughter were not just in name only. Nagato truly fulfilled his duties as a father. In addition to providing them with the security of survival and living, he would also play with them from time to time and guide them in the practice of ninjutsu.

With Nagato's current status and position, it is extremely difficult to achieve these things.

The leader of the Hidden Rain Village is still Lord Pain.

Nagato was no longer unknown, he was crowned the 'Daimyo of the Rain' and became the monarch of the Rain Country.

Today, such a myth is circulating in the Land of Rain.

The god divided his will into two, into the "war god" and the "amulet".

Lord Pain is the incarnation of the "God of War", who ends war and brings peace to the earth.

The Rain Daimyo is the embodiment of the "Amulet", restoring order and bringing good news to the people.

From then on, Konan is not only an angel who conveys the will of God on behalf of Lord Pain, but also the wife of the Daimyo of Rain and the mistress of this rainy land!

The Lord of the Rain appointed Pain as the Great Ninja Commander to protect the country.

After that, Yuyin expanded its territory and swept eastward across the four countries of Kusa, Taki, Shimo, and Ta.

What is not well known is that the 'Land of Birds' and 'Land of Rivers', which border the Land of Rain to the southwest, have also long become vassals of Yuyin, and the two countries surrendered voluntarily.

Since the Warring States Period, the two countries had not formed a formal ninja village system, so they were in a precarious situation after several Ninja World Wars and almost reached the point of national destruction and extinction.

Instead of trying to survive in the cracks, it is better to rely on a strong and rising neighbor!

After conquering the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Rivers, the encirclement formed by the three kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Fire has become Nagato's private territory! (The map of Nagato's territory is shown below)

After the Rain Kingdom annexed the six kingdoms, its land area was enough to rival the big countries, but in order to keep a low profile, it has not yet unified the name of this new territory.

Otherwise... the sixth major country and the sixth largest ninja village will emerge, which will surely cause a major earthquake in the entire ninja world.

Nagato did not want to reveal his ambitions too early, so he concealed the fact that the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Rivers had surrendered, and retained the original names of the six countries, as well as the ninja villages of Kusataki, Shimota and Shikoku.

The irony is that while the Kage of the five major ninja villages were still trying their best to express their loyalty to the daimyo they were loyal to in order to obtain more construction funds, Nagato had already turned against the Tenkan, seized power, broken the identity barrier of the ninja's "working people", and became the real "capitalist class" in the ninja world who was taking advantage of the powerful and eating the corrupt.

As for the timing of the showdown, Nagato had an idea in his mind.

Uchiha Obito has gained even more powerful strength than before. Today's Kirigakure is still under Obito's control, and the era of blood mist has not ended yet.

"Obito and I will fall out sooner or later, and by then I will have to clean up the mess left by the blood mist..."

"Mei Terumi will not become the Mizukage this time, because that is not in the interests of our Rain Village, and personally, she is also one of my candidates for the Animal Path of Pain."

"So... I will focus on training Bai from now on. When the time is right, I will push Bai to the throne of Mizukage. In this way, I will actually control one of the five major ninja villages in my hands."

"By then... Rain and Mist join forces, plus Minato stands by, three against three, I'm sure the stubborn old man Ohnoki, Raiko, and Rasa will have nothing to say, right?"

Bai Ke didn't know that the moment he acknowledged his godfather, he had been chosen as the candidate for Mizukage.

What he was thinking was: In this ninja world, there is no unprovoked favor. My father took me in to make me his tool, because Zabuza-sama did the same. But it doesn't matter, I don't care whose tool I am, as long as Zabuza-sama is safe in the end, it doesn't matter what happens to me.

Passing the end of the bamboo forest, a Japanese-style courtyard with a beautiful environment, nestled in the mountains and beside the water, came into Bai's eyes.

This courtyard is named 'Omotesando Pavilion'. 'Omotesando' in Chinese characters is the homophone of 'Jade'. I won't explain the meaning of 'Jade' in the world of Naruto.

The children adopted by Nagato all live in the amulet pavilion.

In front of the amulet tower, a female ninja who had the same blue hair and sexy body as Konan flashed out and knelt in front of Nagato and Konan!

"Your Highness, Lady Daimyo, Honglian respectfully welcomes you both!"

That's right, she is the 'Honglian' who was loyal to Orochimaru's Otoshi Ninja Village and possesses the Bloodline Limit of Crystal Release.

Now that Orochimaru and Nagato are as close as family, it is natural for Honglian to become Nagato's subordinate.

Although Honglian is a Rain Ninja, she is not nominally under the control of Lord Pain. Her identity is a retainer of the Rain Daimyo, which is equivalent to the Twelve Guardian Ninjas of Konoha in the Land of Fire.

Honglian is also the person in charge of this amulet pavilion.

"Stand up," Nagato said, "Call all the children out. I have something to announce to you all."

Honglian glanced at Bai behind Nagato and Konan and was surprised: What a pretty little princess... Is she the new daughter of His Highness the Daimyo?

She turned around and blew a long whistle.

"Swoosh, swoosh!" Figures gathered... Soon, Honglian's back was covered with young boys.

Honglian was about to say something... a white-haired boy walked out of the crowd, carrying a big sword taller than him!

When he came in front of Bai, he grinned and said familiarly, "Hello, my name is Kizuki Kizuki~, and I'm father's ninth son~! Don't look at me as young, I'm the strongest among this group~! Hehe~! You're much prettier than Tayuya, and you're my type~! Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Tayuya said dissatisfiedly: "Suigetsu, stop bragging! I admit that you are handsome! But the strongest person is not you, but brother Kimimaro!"

Suigetsu smiled and said, "Brother Kimimaro won't live long. When he dies, I will be the strongest!"

Kidomaru said angrily: "Hey!! You are too disrespectful, Laojiu!!!"

Kimimaro smiled gently and said, "It's okay. What Brother Suigetsu said is true."

Bai looked at Suigetsu and noticed the large sword he was carrying.

This is the beheading sword of Kirigakure. Lord Zabuza mentioned that the sword he originally liked was the beheading sword, but the sword and its owner Biwa Juuzou disappeared more than ten years ago. I didn't expect to see it in Yuyin Village. Hozuki Suigetsu, could he be the one of that Hozuki Manyue senior...

Bai stroked his hair and said, "Hello, Brother Shuiyue, I am really happy to have your favor, but I am afraid I cannot respond to your request..."

The shy look on Bai's face... made Shuiyue's heart pound.

"Hey, it's okay... We can start with brother and sister!"

Bai blushed and said, "That won't work either, because I'm a..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, kill!!!! Kill you!!!"

Suddenly... a murderous roar came from behind the crowd!!

I saw... the curse seal on Jūgo's body spread rapidly!!!

"Not good...!!! Jūgo's killing intent is out of control!!!!!!"

“No way!! Brother Jūgo has never gone berserk before when father and mother are present!!!”

"Could it be... that Shuiyue's words just now irritated Chougo!!!"

"Ahhhh, kill...!!!!"

Cursed polyps appeared on Jūgo's arms, and he rushed towards Suigetsu and Shiro...!!!

“Not good!!!” Honglian was about to cast a seal to stop it.

"Don't panic." Nagato stopped her with his eyes, glancing at the bamboo forest in the distance with an undisguised doting smile in his eyes.

There, a small figure carrying the 'Thunder Blade·Yak' was approaching rapidly, with her red twin ponytails fluttering in the wind. She was showing her pointed little fangs, with the corners of her mouth raised!

"I just came back and saw Jūgo's Nissan Curse Seal going berserk! It's just right, let mom and dad see Nan Nan's ability~!!!"

"Swish!" "Swish!" While running, the little hands formed seals!

"Wood escape..."
