The Uchiha Clan's Sun

After a pause, Hanzo the Salamander continued, "The reason I chose Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan as my successors is, of course, because their talents and abilities are quite good, and they have the potential to become beings no less powerful than I was at my peak!"

"At the same time, there is another major reason!"

"Nagato, come to the front!"

Hanzo the Salamander beckoned to Nagato, drawing Nagato to his side.

The Rain Ninja in the conference room all looked at Nagato with curiosity, wondering what the main reason Hanzo of the Salamander was talking about was!

Tianyu also stared wide-eyed at Nagato without blinking.

Having learned some information beforehand, he also wanted to confirm what exactly that legendary eye was!

"Raise your head, Nagato, let everyone see your eyes!"

"Hanzo the Salamander spoke softly."

Nagato nodded, looked up, brushed aside his hair, and revealed his peculiar, wavy eyes to everyone!

"Sigh~~~"

Everyone in the conference room gasped in shock at Nagato's eyes!

Those wavy eyes were like the gears of fate, carrying an irresistible majesty and a sense of oppression!

Anyone who looks into its eyes will feel a tremor from the depths of their soul, as if their own insignificance and fragility are nowhere to hide in front of it!

"What... what is this? Is it the Sharingan? Or the Byakugan?"

"Idiot! The Sharingan is red with tomoe! The Byakugan is pure white!"

"What is this? I've never heard of eyes with this shape before! Under the gaze of these eyes, it feels as if my very soul has been seen through!"

"Wait! Do you guys remember that legend?!"

"What legend?"

"These are the three great dojutsu that have been passed down through the ninja world! The first is the Sharingan, the second is the Byakugan. The Sharingan and Byakugan are the bloodline limits of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans of Konoha Village, but the remaining one is..."

"Reincarnation Eye!"

"The eyes of the legendary Immortal of Six Paths!"

"Hiss~~~~"

......

The people in the conference room were discussing it amongst themselves, and after arriving at a possible result, they were all shocked and gasped in astonishment by the guess!

Even the core members of the Akatsuki organization are like that!

They only just realized that Nagato had such eyes!

"That's right, this is the legendary Rinnegan, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!"

Seeing this, Hanzo the Salamander directly confirmed everyone's guess.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned and speechless.

Hanzo the Salamander's act of revealing Nagato's Rinnegan was actually a last resort.

After all, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan are too inexperienced and not strong enough. The only way to get them to quickly establish themselves in Amegakure is to use some extreme measures!

Don't underestimate the Sage of Six Paths' status in the hearts of the ninja world; he is a creator god-like being!

The more someone lacks something, the more they crave it!

The people of the Land of Rain, suffering from the ravages of war, are constantly hoping for a being like the Sage of Six Paths to save them!

By using the legend of the Sage of Six Paths, Nagato's image will instantly become more imposing in their minds, establishing his prestige!

Nagato, who possesses the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, will undoubtedly become the representative of the Sage of Six Paths in people's hearts, subtly transferring their faith in the Sage of Six Paths to Nagato!

With a little manipulation, they can make Nagato the Sage of Six Paths in their eyes, a god in their hearts!

Of course, Hanzo of the Salamander, or rather, King Uchiha, would not make Nagato a god-like being. This was merely a transitional step to allow Yahiko and the other two to gain a foothold in Amegakure!

Chapter 65 Heaven Blesses the Rain Country!

"But isn't the existence of the Sage of Six Paths just a legend? Did the Sage of Six Paths really exist?"

"Idiot! The Sage of Six Paths is the progenitor of ninjas, the creator god! If the Sage of Six Paths doesn't exist, then where did ninjas come from!"

"But it's just a legend..."

......

After the Rain Ninjas came to their senses, a small number of them raised questions.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Hanzo the Salamander, but rather that the existence of the Sage of Six Paths was so ancient that his life story was impossible to verify.

Therefore, when the successor of the Sage of Six Paths truly appeared before them, they all felt a sense of unreality.

"No doubt about it! I have verified it many times, the Sage of Six Paths is indeed real!" Hanzo of the Salamander said, "And Nagato's Rinnegan does indeed contain immense power!"

"I can assure you all that once Nagato truly masters the power of these eyes, he will surpass me, and even surpass the founder of Konoha, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!"

With Hanzo of the Salamander's endorsement, the doubts among the Rain Ninja gradually subsided, and the gazes directed at Nagato began to change!

Hanzo the Salamander continued, "Since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system decades ago, although the Shinobi World War has occurred from time to time, they have been able to have a period of peace to recuperate after each major war."

"Our Rain Country has always been a buffer zone for resolving conflicts between major powers."

"During their wars, our Land of Rain was their battlefield. During their peacetime, our Land of Rain was their arena for open and covert struggles."

"Peace has never come to the Land of Rain!"

"War has never left the Land of Rain!"

The Rain Ninja and even the core members of Akatsuki in the conference room all showed expressions of grief upon hearing this.

They almost all grew up in the midst of war.

Fathers and mothers are dead, wives and children are separated, and family members are torn apart... The ceaseless war has made it so that there are hardly any complete families in the vast Land of Rain!

They had all experienced similar pain and hated this cruel world!

"But even so, we have never stopped fighting!" Hanzo the Salamander's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the meeting room, and he said in a deep voice, "We will never stop fighting!"

"This world shouldn't be like this! Our Rain Kingdom shouldn't be like this either!"

"Why must the children of our Rain Kingdom lose their parents and siblings from a young age! Why must the common people of our Rain Kingdom lose their homes and wander from place to place! Why must our Rain Kingdom only become a battlefield between those great powers!"

"During the Second Shinobi World War, I declared war on the three great nations simultaneously to send a message to the world about the Land of Rain! To let them know how the Land of Rain feels!"

"Although I failed, it doesn't mean that my approach was wrong!"

"Ultimately, I can only blame myself for not being strong enough! I can't save the Land of Rain like the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who quelled the chaos of war!"

"The nation of Rain is too weak due to the protracted wars, and it lacks the foundation to compete with the great powers!"

"But this also strengthened my resolve to follow my path!"

"Peace sought through compromise will perish, while peace sought through struggle will endure!"

"Constant compromise and concessions will only make them think that our Land of Rain is weak and easy to bully!"

"Only by constantly resisting can we let them know that our Rain Kingdom also has its own will! We will not let them manipulate us!"

"Only through constant struggle can we make them wary of our Rain Kingdom and deter them from easily launching a war against us!"

"I will dedicate my life to this!"

Hanzo the Salamander's words instantly dispelled the somber atmosphere in the meeting room, and everyone sat up straight, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit!

"And now, he's here!" Hanzo of the Salamander stood up, patted Nagato on the shoulder, and continued, "He has appeared carrying the will of the Sage of Six Paths!"

"Heaven has not abandoned our Land of Rain! The Sage of Six Paths has not given up on our Land of Rain!"

"The Sage of Six Paths has brought his eyes to our Land of Rain, and he will bring true peace to our Land of Rain!"

"Five years! I'm confident I can train Nagato into the next Hashirama Senju, the next God of Shinobi, in just five years!"

"At that time, our Rain Kingdom will rise with absolute power, making the whole world listen to our voice!"

"Whether it's Konoha or Iwagakure, whether it's the Land of Wind or any other great power, no one can ignore our will and freely enter and leave our territory! No one can ignore our voice and let the Land of Rain become their battlefield! No one can despise our existence and let the flames of war spread to the civilians of the Land of Rain!"

"At the same time, I also hope that you will all stay true to your original aspirations, stay committed to your posts, improve yourselves, and create the future!"

"If Nagato is the torch of hope, showing us the way, then you are the sparks that can start a prairie fire!"

"Making the Land of Rain's tomorrow better is not something one person can do alone! It requires the collective effort of everyone!"

"Even if you have only a little warmth, you should still give off a little light, like a firefly, so that you can shine a little light in the darkness, and then the fireflies can gather into a galaxy!"

"Gentlemen, the future of the Rain Kingdom depends on you!"

As Hanzo the Salamander spoke, he bent down and bowed deeply to all the Rain Ninja present!

"I am willing to die for you, sir!"

Tianyu and Kanzang were the first to stand up and roar, their eyes filled with fervor!

"I am willing to die for you, sir!"

All the Rain Ninja and even the core members of the Akatsuki in the conference room stood up, their eyes filled with fanaticism as they looked at Hanzo the Salamander!

Hanzo the Salamander straightened up, his gaze deep, and looked at everyone, saying, "Also, there's something I need to say upfront."

“Everyone here is a pillar of my Amegakure. I have placed Nagato before you because I trust you all!”

"Nagato hasn't matured yet, so I hope that no information related to him will be leaked!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Upon hearing this, all the Rain Ninja nodded, understanding the seriousness of the matter, and harbored no resentment whatsoever.

On the contrary, even if Hanzo of the Salamander didn't say it, they would bury this matter deep in their hearts and hide Nagato's special nature!

"Let's adjourn this meeting here. Everyone, please get back to your posts as soon as possible!"

"Also, Tianyu and Kanzang, you two should coordinate resources and bring back more supplies for our comrades stationed on the border! At the same time, settle the Akatsuki members down; from now on, we're all on the same side!"

"Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, the three of you come with me!"

After assigning tasks, Hanzo the Salamander looked at everyone in the meeting room and said, "Gentlemen, may God bless the Land of Rain!"

"God bless the land of rain!"

Everyone in the conference room bowed to Hanzo the Salamander in unison, their voices rising in perfect unison and reaching the heavens!

The dark clouds surrounding the Land of Rain seemed to have been broken open by the sound waves, allowing slivers of sunlight to filter through!

Chapter 66 You have to say the right thing to the right person!

Inside Hanzo the Salamander's office.

Hanzo the Salamander, who had been speaking passionately in the meeting room just moments before, now sat with his head down and eyes vacant in a chair behind his desk.

Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and Obito Uchiha, who had just emerged from the Kamui dimension, all stared intently at King Uchiha, who stood behind Hanzo of the Salamander.

Uchiha Jin stepped out from behind his desk, smiled, and asked everyone, "How was the meeting just now?"

Yahiko spoke first, excitedly saying, "Brother Jin, what you said is so wonderful! Everyone should contribute their share of warmth and light; even fireflies can gather into a galaxy!"

"Even now, my mind is still racing, and all I want to do is go all out and get things done!"

Yahiko was a passionate young man, and after being provoked by Uchiha Jin's words, he was eager to immediately risk his life for the Land of Rain!

The other three, and even the aloof Xiao Nan, shared the same feeling.

Uchiha Jin shook his head and said, "Actually, I only said half of what I said. There's still the most important half I haven't said!"

"what?"

Yahiko and the other three were taken aback by what they heard, and were somewhat puzzled.

Obito Uchiha asked curiously, "Jin-sensei, what is the other half of the sentence?"

Uchiha Jin didn't keep him in suspense and said, "I will give off whatever light I can, like a firefly, to illuminate the darkness. I don't need to wait for a torch. If there is no torch in the future, I will be the only light!"

Upon hearing this, Obito and the other three members of the Uchiha clan instinctively widened their eyes, feeling a tingling sensation throughout their bodies!

Upon closer examination, one discovers that the profound meaning contained in this sentence is truly thought-provoking!
