I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Therefore, Nagato Uzumaki, who was originally stationed in Amegakure, heard about what the Shinobi Alliance had done and surprisingly decided to personally take Konan out to investigate. As his companion, Konan naturally agreed when he made this decision!

"...Xiao Nan, let's leave here first!"

When a caravan from the Land of Rain arrived at this border market, Nagato Uzumaki, disguised as a disabled but wealthy young man, spent several days traveling around and confirmed his true identity before speaking to Konan with a rather complicated expression.

"Yes, Nagato!"

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Konan, who had changed out of the Akatsuki's black robe with its fiery clouds on it into a set of common women's clothing, responded softly. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, and judging from her appearance alone, she was undoubtedly a great beauty.

In fact, Konan, as one of the three orphans who initially founded Akatsuki and the only girl among them, also possessed a special talent almost equivalent to the bloodline limit [God's Paper Technique]. She herself was also an exceptionally beautiful girl, with light blue hair and beautiful eyes, giving her a unique ethereal and angelic aura. Her own strength had already reached the threshold of a quasi-Kage, meaning that with her unique ninjutsu, she could contend with quasi-Kage level ninjas, and even Kage-level powerhouses could hold their own against her.

However, Konan's relationship with Nagato and Yahiko is more like that of close siblings. And now, when Nagato wanted to come out and see the Shinobi Alliance, she disguised herself before coming out with him!

……

"Nagato, are you happy?"

Later, watching the bustling scene of a canal being dug, Konan looked at Nagato Uzumaki, who was controlling the Six Paths puppets to guard the area, with some confusion. She noticed that he actually had a rare smile on his face. Since Yahiko's death, she had rarely seen Nagato Uzumaki smile, so she couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.

"Happy?"

Hearing Konan's question, Nagato Uzumaki, whose body was already weakened and required a wheelchair due to the Truth-Seeking Ball condensing into a black rod piercing his body, coupled with the enormous consumption of the Rinnegan, couldn't hide his smile. Looking at the bustling canal construction site, his tone was exceptionally excited: "That's right, I'm very happy. Konan, you know what? This is a rare sight for me—ninjas not using their ninjutsu power to kill others, but instead using it for a lively construction project..."

Even with Konan's usually aloof demeanor, she could sense Nagato's barely concealed joy. Following Nagato's words, she looked down at the canal construction site, which was nearly ten kilometers away from a cliff in the Gobi Desert. There, she could see tens of thousands of laborers working in stages to excavate the canal that would lead to the Land of Rain.

The overall environment of the Land of Wind is desert and Gobi. To change it quickly, in addition to the intervention of a strong person like Li Mo, it is necessary to provide the desert and Gobi with enough water. The Land of Rain, which is adjacent to the Land of Wind, has rain for most of the year and its water resources are too abundant. The Ninja Alliance is building a canal to supply water to the desert and Gobi. In the past, this was not a problem that many people would care about, but now it has become a great thing that has multiple benefits.

At the very least, the Ninja Alliance is using large sums of money and resources to hire the Land of Rain and its civilians to participate in the construction project, and even using the earth-style ninjutsu of ninjas to speed up the canal construction. Once the initial stage of this canal is completed, it will allow the Land of Rain's somewhat overflowing water resources to be diverted to the desert and Gobi. As it stands, apart from the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Rain who may be unhappy, it is a win-win situation for everyone else.

For Nagato Uzumaki, this was also the first time he had seen ninjas using construction rather than ninjutsu to kill. Moreover, the civilians no longer had any fear of the Shinobi Alliance's ninja army and police. Even the civilians in the Land of Rain were treated equally, and their standard of living was far better than it had been in the Land of Rain.

For Nagato, who always held idealism in his heart, this was a scene he could only dream of seeing. However, he still decided to take Konan on a tour of the Shinobi Alliance to see if it was a coincidence or a change brought about by the Shinobi Alliance!

Chapter 53 A Different Kind of Ninja Alliance

For Nagato Uzumaki, from the time he could remember as a child, apart from the few years he lived with his parents, he experienced killing and cruelty in the ninja world. During the Second Shinobi World War, two Konoha ninja broke into his home to plunder food resources and even killed his parents. They even tried to kill Nagato when they discovered them. He "awakened" the Rinnegan after witnessing all of this!

Unaware that the tragedy he was about to encounter might have been caused by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, Nagato Uzumaki truly believed that he had awakened the legendary Rinnegan. However, Nagato was forced to wander in the Land of Rain, where he met Yahiko and Konan. The three orphans struggled to survive in the Land of Rain at that time.

Nagato Uzumaki, along with Yahiko and Konan, endured a difficult time. Later, they were fortunate enough to encounter the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. Jiraiya, who discovered Nagato's Rinnegan and believed him to be the Child of Prophecy, taught him for three years. After parting ways with Jiraiya, they formed the Akatsuki organization at Yahiko's suggestion, aiming to change the chaos of war in the Land of Rain and the entire ninja world, with the pursuit of peace as the Akatsuki's primary goal.

If it were in one of the Five Great Nations, the Akatsuki organization would likely have had a hard time growing and expanding. At least when there were five great ninja villages, they wouldn't have allowed a new organization to emerge so easily. However, the Land of Rain at that time was devastated by the Second Shinobi World War, with too many orphans and war refugees. Furthermore, the Amegakure village, led by the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, had defeated the Legendary Sannin of Konoha in the early stages and chose to remain in the Amegakure village like a coward. The emergence of the Akatsuki organization was like a wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the Land of Rain.

The problem is that the ninja world has never been a place full of love and justice. With Amegakure and the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander in the Land of Rain, the appearance of the Akatsuki organization was like someone trying to take over their territory, so naturally they were full of hostility.

what?

For the peace of the Rain Kingdom?

The demigod Hanzo of the Salamander and the Rain Ninja are not pacifists. Possessing extraordinary powers, they are no match for the common people of the Land of Rain. Even if they cannot defeat the great ninja villages of the three great nations, dealing with the common people of the Land of Rain is still an easy task for the Rain Ninja.

Even during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, the living standards of the Rain Village ninjas were far superior to those of the common people of the Land of Rain. Even ninjas from the three great nations would not deliberately cause trouble for the Rain Village unless necessary. The common people of the Land of Rain suffered the most, and even if they wanted to fight to the death, the Rain Village ninjas could easily suppress them.

Or, to put it simply, the bandits that kept appearing in various countries of the ninja world were mostly farmers and commoners who couldn't make a living. However, their strength was simply not enough to face the military power of nobles or even daimyo. Even those who were lucky enough to survive the sieges either truly became bandits or barely managed to eke out a living in remote areas. Then, a bounty was placed on their heads by the daimyo or nobles, and they became the ninjas' commissioned missions, where they were all wiped out and turned into corpses.

Therefore, there was no such situation of rebel armies in the ninja world. If there were a powerful person who killed a nobleman and occupied a village by chance, in front of the five great ninja villages and other ninjas, those rebel soldiers with cold weapons would not be much better than cannon fodder. They would simply carry out massacres and suppression. As a result, the common people in the ninja world would not value ninjas. The atrocities committed by ninjas from Konoha and other ninja villages in the Land of Rain were not uncommon.

As for Hanzo the Salamander and the Rain Ninja, they had no pity for the common people of the Land of Rain. Hanzo the Salamander, instigated by Danzo Shimura, directly used a trap to severely injure the Akatsuki organization. Yahiko died in front of them while protecting Konan, which caused Nagato Uzumaki to unleash his power and kill the enemy.

Therefore, Nagato Uzumaki, who was seriously injured, became a cripple who could not walk. He killed the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander and the ninjas who surrounded him. After successfully taking control of Amegakure, he turned to the dark side under the instigation of Obito Uchiha and prepared to create the Ten-Tails as a weapon of war, using people's fear of pain to create so-called peace.

However, Li Mo began to take large-scale actions. The establishment of the Ninja Alliance even led to the swallowing up of the Land of Water and the Land of Wind, and the capture of Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu. Nagato Uzumaki, who had received a lot of news, saw a different peaceful scene at the border market!

As the Ninja Alliance was integrated by Li Mo, it treated the civilians of the former Land of Wind and even the Land of Rain equally. At most, the civilians of the former Land of Wind were now considered civilians under the Ninja Alliance and had a much higher chance of receiving education and employment than the civilians of the Land of Rain. However, if they committed crimes, they would be punished in the same severe way.

After all, Orochimaru, the manager of the research department of the Shinobi Alliance, had long ago proposed that more experimental volunteers be needed in order to improve the human enhancement drug as soon as possible. Moreover, the Shinobi Alliance needed serious criminals in many dangerous mining areas, so they wouldn't feel sorry for them if they died.

Although the Ninja Alliance doesn't arrest people without reason, if you've committed a serious crime within the Ninja Alliance or have a history of wrongdoing, then being caught means you'll be put to full use.

Nagato Uzumaki, who had obtained a pass to the Ninja Alliance and was observing the situation from his travels, was unaware of this. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have thought it was excessive. There were far more cruel things in the Ninja World than this, making it a trivial matter.

Compared to the brutal war that Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan experienced, the Land of Rain at that time was littered with corpses and refugees. The ninjas from the three great ninja villages, as well as the Rain Village ninjas, plundered the last bit of food from the civilians to survive. The number of deaths was simply too great. It is said that some people, driven by hunger, regarded their own kind as food. Compared to that, the Shinobi Alliance's exploitation of serious criminals and death row inmates really was nothing.

The area now ruled by the Ninja Alliance appears to be quite peaceful. Even in the border market bordering the Land of Rain, Nagato Uzumaki observed for two days and found that the lives of the common people in the Land of Rain were actually better than those of the ordinary people in the Rain Village. The heavy laborers in the construction sites and canal construction areas had at least fish soup or meat soup every day, and they had no problem eating their fill. The wages they received were enough to support their families, so their standard of living was quite good.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Shinobi Alliance has no shortage of supplies. Looking at the entire Shinobi world, there are far too many civilians who are starving. Even ordinary civilians in the Five Great Nations have a hard time ensuring they have enough to eat. Expecting the civilians of a small country like the Land of Rain, which is sandwiched between several great powers, to have enough to eat is less likely than hoping that the Five Great Shinobi Villages will stop fighting and live in peace. That would probably be a better chance.

What truly moved Nagato and Konan was the significant positive changes they witnessed along their journey from the border market to Sand City. The civilians of the Land of Wind now considered themselves part of the Shinobi Alliance, and the ninjas of the Sand Village had disappeared, replaced by police officers maintaining daily order.

With Nagato and Konan's keen eyesight, they could naturally see that the police officers possessed chakra and martial prowess. They replaced the soldiers of the daimyo and nobles, and unlike the ninjas, they did not bring death and despair. Instead, they maintained order, eliminated bandits, and relayed orders. They even started to establish schools so that children could receive an education, and arranged for the best among them to join the Ninja Alliance's ninja army.

If that were all, Nagato wouldn't have been so shocked. What truly made him realize the difference between the Shinobi World Alliance and other countries was that the police and ninja soldiers all referred to themselves as "our Shinobi World Alliance" instead of "XX Shinobi Village." Occasionally, through the Six Paths Puppet, he could see ninja soldiers who seemed to resemble those from the former Kirigakure village. Their discipline and combat prowess were outstanding, giving him a strange feeling completely different from those ninja from other villages.

In particular, when Nagato and Konan arrived at Sand City, they found that all traces of the original Sand Village had been completely wiped out. The surviving Sand Ninjas had either been reorganized or transferred elsewhere. Even Sand City itself was almost entirely newly built, and its urban planning was completely different from that of cities in other countries of the ninja world, which amazed the two of them.

Seeing the new look of Sand City and the exceptionally prosperous new city, Nagato Uzumaki was deeply moved. He even randomly visited ordinary people, merchants, and police officers in Sand City and several other towns. He was struck by the fact that the Shinobi Alliance, this emerging force, was completely different from the major ninja villages he had previously known. It was clear that the other party wanted to unify all countries and ninja villages in the ninja world.

Otherwise, if the Ninja Alliance were simply a new force that didn't want to change the landscape of the Ninja World and had simply appeared as a XX Ninja Village, it wouldn't have done so much. For example, the presence of the Daimyo and nobles was weakened to the point of being nonexistent, and the Ninja Villages were abolished and replaced by the Ninja Army, police, and other military departments. It can be said that it has clearly become a force different from other countries in the Ninja World. Even if Li Mo kept releasing smokescreens before, the Ninja Alliance, which had successively swallowed the Land of Water and the Land of Wind, could no longer hide its true nature.

This was something that not only Nagato Uzumaki gradually came to understand, but even Konan noticed it. After traveling for several months with the Shinobi Alliance, from the former Land of Wind to the former Land of Water, observing hundreds of towns and meeting tens of thousands of people, Nagato finally made his decision. He was prepared to join forces with the Shinobi Alliance to bring true peace to the Shinobi world.

Once Nagato Uzumaki made up his mind, he directly contacted the management of the Shinobi Alliance. He and Konan were then allowed to board a giant airship and head directly to the central city of the Shinobi Alliance!

Chapter 54 Meeting with Nagato Uzumaki

What Nagato and Konan didn't know was that when they and Pain left Amegakure, they were already being closely watched by shadow soldiers. However, Li Mo didn't immediately take over Amegakure; instead, he allowed Nagato and his group to travel and observe freely throughout the entire Shinobi Alliance.

Otherwise, do you really think the Ninja Alliance has no defenses?

Even civilians and merchants from small countries who want to cross the border or travel by sea to enter the territory of the Ninja Alliance must obtain the corresponding permits. Otherwise, if they are caught by the Ninja Alliance's ninja soldiers, they will be treated as spies.

In this regard alone, the Ninja Alliance has already captured quite a few spies, including but not limited to intelligence personnel from the remaining three major countries and three major ninja villages, as well as spies sent by some neighboring small countries and small ninja villages. Many of them did not expect the Ninja Alliance's internal control to be so strong, and they were caught without even realizing it.

Of course, the three great ninja villages and other forces did not necessarily underestimate the Shinobi Alliance. Most of the spies arrested were expendable pawns used to distract the Shinobi Alliance. The elite ninjas who were actually used to gather intelligence on the Shinobi Alliance either disguised themselves and entered under appropriate identities, or gradually activated the pawns they had originally placed in the Land of Water and the Land of Wind. This allowed the three great ninja villages, the three great nations, and other forces to learn more or less about the Shinobi Alliance. It's just that they couldn't travel around freely like Nagato Uzumaki.

As for Li Mo, he knew that after the Ninja Alliance swallowed the Land of Water and the Land of Wind, it was already on the verge of being overwhelmed. He had no interest in taking action against the remaining three major countries and other smaller countries, lest he provoke them into actually uniting. Occasionally, he would let his spies obtain some true and false information to make the Ninja Alliance appear powerful, which would make the three major ninja villages wary of him.

As for Nagato and Konan, Li Mo had no intention of restricting them. After all, the current situation was different from the original plot of "Naruto". If he could recruit Nagato and the Akatsuki organization into his ranks in advance, he could become the biggest mastermind in the ninja world and then use various means to manipulate those hostile forces.

In fact, Nagato and Konan both had some idea of ​​what was going on. After all, their group had obtained the passes so easily and were able to travel freely within the Shinobi Alliance. This might be acceptable in other Shinobi countries, but it was a very rare thing in the Shinobi Alliance!

………………

In the sky, a giant airship is flying. This behemoth, which is over 300 meters long and over 50 meters wide, immediately evokes a sense of awe and serves as a symbolic representation of the Ninja Alliance to the outside world.

This is a giant military transport airship belonging to the Shinobi Alliance. Built using the shinobi world's completely unscientific yet extraordinary chakra techniques, this behemoth can be propelled by chakra power and fly at a maximum altitude of three thousand meters. It can transport more than two hundred tons of cargo or about five hundred passengers at a time. If used for military transport, it can carry more than one thousand shinobi soldiers at a time. It is an important means of transportation for the Shinobi Alliance to quickly contact the former Land of Wind, the former Land of Water, and the former Land of Sea.

After all, the Ninja Alliance controls a vast area. While 10,000-ton ships are certainly good for maritime transport, when it comes to transporting supplies and even troops at the fastest speed, the newly emerged giant transport airships completely outclass the latter. The fact that these new transport airships can transport a thousand ninja soldiers directly from the former Rainbow Country's training base to the current border of the former Wind Country within three days is enough to amaze people.

Even if the ninjas of the five great ninja villages could reach their country's border within three days by traversing mountains and valleys, it would still consume their energy to some extent. Moreover, this method makes it difficult to guarantee logistics, so the ninja villages would not do it unless absolutely necessary!

"Nagato, do we really want to join the Shinobi Alliance?"

In the observation deck of this giant airship, gazing at the vast ocean below and the beautiful rainbow in front, Konan, who finally knew that the Land of Rainbows was the current headquarters of the Shinobi Alliance, looked at Nagato Uzumaki in his wheelchair with some hesitation and asked.

In normal circumstances, Konan wouldn't question Nagato's choice. It was out of trust in Nagato, who had once been like a brother and father to her. But now Nagato had actually decided to bring the Akatsuki, Amegakure, and even the entire Land of Rain to join the Shinobi Alliance. Even Konan had to raise her questions. Of course, she wasn't refuting Nagato's proposal, but rather suggesting that he should reconsider and not make this crucial decision on a whim.

After all, when the Akatsuki was first established, it only had three members: Nagato Uzumaki, Yahiko, and Konan. But now the Akatsuki is more than just them. Moreover, the Akatsuki was founded on the hopes and expectations of three war orphans for peace. Konan does not want a repeat of what happened to Hanzo the Salamander!

"Xiao Nan, I know your concerns, what you're worried about..."

Hearing Konan's earnest voice, Nagato Uzumaki, sitting in his wheelchair, wore a faint smile. His face, pale from the chakra rods piercing his body and the depletion of his Rinnegan, surprisingly showed a genuine smile. Gazing at the vast ocean and the now faintly visible Land of the Rainbow, his voice was resolute: "But if Yahiko were still alive, seeing the state of the Shinobi Alliance, he would definitely support my choice. Because I see hope in those civilians and ninjas!"

As he spoke these words, Nagato unconsciously looked at the Deva Path of Pain among the Six Paths of Pain around him, the one he had kept by his side with the Rinnegan. This Deva Path was Yahiko, who had once wandered, studied, and worked hard with Nagato and Konan. However, Yahiko died to save Konan and Nagato, and Nagato preserved his body as a puppet of the Deva Path of Pain to accompany him.

For Nagato Uzumaki, he was most influenced by Yahiko. His parents were killed when they were young because of the intrusion of Konoha ninjas, and his later struggle to survive in the Land of Rain had already filled him with a deep aversion to war and killing. Moreover, the peaceful world that Yahiko pursued until his death became his own long-cherished wish. Under the influence of the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, Obito Uchiha, and Black Zetsu, he had an extreme desire to obtain the Ten-Tails by collecting the nine tailed beasts and then achieve peace through violence.

Even with Nagato's extensive knowledge, he vaguely felt that using violence and terror to achieve a peaceful future for the ninja world seemed a bit off. However, given Nagato's previous understanding, the fact that he could come up with such a violent approach to achieve so-called peace was far beyond what that mentally ill, filial son of the Uchiha clan—who killed his father, mother, and entire clan, and still believed it was for the sake of the village—had done.

However, after seeing the way the Shinobi Alliance operated and the smiling faces of the civilians whose living standards had improved, Nagato Uzumaki suddenly felt that if he joined with Amegakure and Akatsuki, the Shinobi Alliance would bring true peace to the Shinobi World!

“…Nagato, I understand!”

Facing Nagato's resolute gaze, Konan, who had spent so much time with him on the journey through the Shinobi Alliance, was equally confident in the Alliance's ability to achieve peace in the Shinobi World. She was certain of her close friend's determination, and recalling her own experience of wandering in the Land of Rain, and now seeing the peaceful state of affairs under the rule of the Shinobi Alliance, she bit her lip and spoke very seriously.

From any perspective, Konan felt that her friend had made a decision after careful consideration, so she should support him. Moreover, considering the actual situation of the Ninja Alliance, it might be the most correct choice for him to rule the entire Ninja World...

……

"Please come in, both of you! The Supreme Ruler is inside, waiting for you!"

More than an hour later, Nagato and Konan, who had just disembarked from the giant airship, were escorted by a small team of ANBU ninjas to Li Mo's manor on Rainbow Island. An ANBU ninja squad leader, wearing a badge but dressed in casual clothes, respectfully addressed the two.

Compared to the ANBU ninjas of other ninja villages who are tasked with special assassination missions and internal purges, the ANBU of the Ninja World Alliance have a more clearly defined division of responsibilities, including internal disciplinary investigations, normal intelligence gathering, and assassination missions. They are not simply killing machines, but rather possess comprehensive abilities such as military police and assassins. Even the personnel are no longer solely selected from prisoners of war and are now recruited.

For example, the small team of ANBU ninjas who escorted Nagato and Konan to the manor were a newly recruited batch of internal affairs personnel for the ANBU. They were all selected from graduates of the Ninja Army, and their personal abilities and loyalty were very high. At the very least, they were all elite Chunin and possessed certain management skills. Compared to the previous ANBU ninjas who were simply recruited by Li Mo, their loyalty and abilities were much higher, and Li Mo did not need to use his supernatural power seeds. They began to exhibit the qualities of a normal department.

In this regard, Li Mo is aware of and has even begun to promote it. He will not use the seeds of extraordinary power to arm himself indiscriminately. Not to mention that most of the time, it would only create a certain amount of firepower, but more often it would result in the deaths of those who had fused with the seeds of extraordinary power. In fact, it would also have a certain degree of backlash on him. Li Mo is preparing to find an opportunity to solve this problem. So, in the Naruto world, it is natural to cultivate more native inhabitants.

Of course, Nagato and Konan were unaware of the intricacies of the situation. They could sense that the ANBU squad leader leading the team was quite capable, and coupled with the bustling scene of the Shinobi Alliance they had witnessed along the way, they were impressed and stepped directly into the manor hall, where they saw Li Mo rise to greet them and say with a smile:

"Mr. Nagato Uzumaki, Ms. Konan, welcome!"

Chapter 55 The Real Goal

"Mr. Nagato Uzumaki, Ms. Konan, welcome!"

Upon seeing Nagato Uzumaki being pushed in a wheelchair by Konan, Li Mo stood up to greet him warmly. He glanced at the Six Paths of Pain who had followed him in, but paid no attention to the extremely powerful Six Paths of Pain.

In reality, Li Mo's only concerns about the current Naruto world are the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers in Elysium, and perhaps Kaguya Otsutsuki sealed in the moon. Otherwise, even Pain, controlled by Nagato Uzumaki with the Rinnegan, would only be considered as having just reached the level of a Kage. Dealing with an unsuspecting Kage-level ninja would be manageable, but a Kage-level ninja who knew the situation, combined with a sensory ninja, might directly use a decapitation tactic against Nagato.

For Li Mo, he didn't even need to use a decapitation tactic. At this distance, dealing with Nagato and Konan wouldn't be much more difficult than drinking a sip of water. All he knew was that Nagato and Konan had already decided to surrender, so naturally they had no hostility!

Should I address you as His Excellency the Consul?

Seeing Li Mo's welcoming attitude, Nagato was surprised that the governor of the Ninja World Alliance was so young. However, he could feel that his Rinnegan was being suppressed by the other party. Despite having many thoughts in his mind, he did not hesitate and politely asked Li Mo.

"You're welcome. You can call me Li Mo or Mr. Li Mo, it's fine!"

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Li Mo scrutinized him and Konan, a faint smile appearing on his face. He then gestured for them to sit down with him, looking at the two Akatsuki members with interest, and went straight to the point: "I think that as the true leaders of Amegakure and the two founders of Akatsuki, your coming to the Shinobi World Alliance to request an audience with me must be for something important. You can speak frankly now..."

Although Li Mo learned about Nagato and Konan's general thoughts through the Shadow Soldiers' surveillance, it was not appropriate to say it directly. Otherwise, even if Nagato wanted to join the Shinobi World Alliance, he would have other ideas.

After all, while ninjas in the ninja world are willing to carry out missions and don't mind things like spying, infiltrating, or even assassinating their opponents, Li Mo and Nagato Uzumaki have slightly different views on this. At least Li Mo doesn't think that ninjas need to come up with any high-sounding excuses to kill. For ninjas, killing and being killed are normal things. While Nagato Uzumaki has become somewhat corrupted, he still insists on restoring the ninja world to a peaceful era.
