"Whew, I'm really tired." A white-haired man with Byakugan eyes sighed, squatting under the protective wall, and said, "Don't you think the Five Great Shinobi Villages are too boring, always thinking about war, war, war."
"What is so good about war?"
"No wonder the Branch Family leader wanted to destroy the shinobi world back then. With these troublemakers around, how can peace ever be achieved?"
A path to peace has clearly appeared before their eyes, so why are they unwilling to change?
Always shouting about peace with a righteous face, yet always secretly starting wars behind the scenes...
They are the real source of the shinobi world's chaos.
And now, the Land of Whirlpools' biology and agricultural studies have long developed fat pigs as big as elephants and high-yield crop varieties. Everyone can have enough to eat, so what is left to fight over?
"I haven't been home for several days. I bet my little girl is missing her daddy."
"Who isn't." A middle-aged man also with Byakugan eyes nearby took a drag of his cigarette, sighed, and said, "Maybe this is what my boy calls some kind of contradiction."
"Interests..."
He took a deep drag, then pursed his lips and exhaled...
"Those who want war will always find a reason they need."
"Give me one too." Seeing the middle-aged man still had cigarettes, the young man spoke up. "I ran out a few days ago." A bitter smile appeared on his face. "Back then, we all thought we were gods, but we never expected..."
He shook his head...
"Now we're used to life in the Land of Whirlpools."
Convenient, relaxed, happy, plentiful...
After work or on holidays, the whole family can still get together and have a lively meal. This is what they truly seek.
Being a god...
It was just too tiring.
"Use it sparingly, I don't have many left either." The middle-aged man tossed him a cigarette and said, "On the moon, we didn't know the shinobi world had so many interesting things." The corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a smile. "Especially the Land of Whirlpools, the changes have been really big."
"Yeah." The young man nodded and said, "No one wants to go back to the hard life on the moon now, but every year we still rotate some people to go up to the moon to monitor the shinobi world and the universe." He lit the cigarette and took a puff. "I heard it's because they're worried about aliens invading."
"Who knows." The middle-aged man shrugged and said, "Anyway, I don't want to go back to eating dust." Then, he stood up. "And my son is already used to life here." He picked up a dark black iron rod beside him. "My grandson is about to be born too. How could I let them go back to that old life?"
Staying on the moon for too long...
The loneliness can turn you into a god... or a lunatic.
He looked up at his comrades still fighting hard against the invaders not far away and murmured, "This kind of life now feels more real."
You can make noise, cry, laugh, nod and greet friends when you see them, after a tiring work day you can go eat grilled fish or hot pot with colleagues, have a few bottles of ice-cold beer, complain about how tired you are today, how the manager is too nitpicky... these ordinary things...
Make your heart feel relaxed without you even noticing.
And this...
This is the ordinary life humans should have...
"I've rested enough, I'll head over first." The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the young man still smoking and said, "You hurry up too, don't disgrace the Main Family."
"Understood." The young man nodded and said, "I'll rejoin the squad after I finish this cigarette. As for you..." He smirked disdainfully. "You're old, your eyes probably aren't good anymore. Later, just watch and see the true skill of me, the Ōtsutsuki Sharpshooter."
"Haha." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment hearing the young man's words, then laughed loudly and said, "You? Kid, even though I'm from the Branch Family, have you ever heard a saying from the Land of Whirlpools?"
"Ginger is spicier when old."
He carried his black iron pipe and walked forward...
"You kid, just watch me perform."
...
"Where did the Land of Whirlpools get so many strange and peculiar things." Black Zetsu frowned as he looked towards the Land of Whirlpools and said, "And those trash, they aren't worthy of being called Ōtsutsuki."
"That seems to be called a gun." White Zetsu scratched his head and said, "The power is quite strong, especially the range combined with the Byakugan..."
"Tsk, tsk, it's basically one shot, one kill."
"The Five Great Shinobi Villages are too useless..." Black Zetsu sighed, shook his head, and said, "So many shinobi, and after all this time, they still haven't managed to destroy the Land of Whirlpools."
For some reason, the longer this drags on, the more anxious he feels.
"Has Tobi been found."
He turned his head, looking at a few White Zetsu nearby who were chattering and discussing something...
"That traitor must be found, and we must ask where Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan is."
We definitely need the Rinnegan to rescue Mother.
"Don't know." White Zetsu scratched his head, his face full of helplessness, and said, "I've already sent White Zetsu clones to search everywhere in the shinobi world, but we still haven't found anything."
"Keep looking." Hearing this, Black Zetsu said unhappily, "Also send out White Zetsu clones to see if we can find the Rinnegan."
"We must hurry. Who knows if that Uzumaki Jun can come back, or when he will return."
"Understood." White Zetsu nodded and said, "I'll arrange it properly, but..."
He hesitated...
"That Mangekyō user seems to have disappeared again somewhere. Should I send someone to look for him."
...
"Kage." Uzumaki Komaki looked at the map of the Land of Whirlpools on the table, sighed, and said, "We must have someone block the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."
You know, back when that blonde guy was captured by the Land of Whirlpools, we should have just cut him down with one stroke.
If we had, he wouldn't have become Konoha's Fourth Hokage and led Konoha to invade the Land of Whirlpools now...
"Powerful shinobi, Tailed Beasts..."
He sighed inwardly...
"If they manage to land, it will be too late."
"I think I can do it." A young man with long red hair raised his hand and said lazily, "Captain Komaki, a mere Kage, I can crush him in minutes."
"Stop bragging, you brat." Hearing Nagato's words, Komaki immediately flared his nostrils and glared. "With your mediocre ninja skills, I don't want your mother to have no one to take care of her in her old age."
"..."
If you weren't the captain, I'd make you understand the meaning of 'do not insult the strong' right now.
Nagato sighed, helplessly spread his hands, and said, "Really, I'm not bragging. I feel the chakra in my body now is enough to solo a Tailed Beast."
"Yes, Captain Komaki." Konan nodded and said, "Nagato is really very strong now. His Rasengan is getting bigger and bigger."
Now even Elite Jōnin are no match for Nagato.
Of course...
And me too.
Konan proudly raised her head and said, "I think I can do it too."
"..."
Komaki looked at Nagato and Konan speechlessly. Are young people all so arrogant these days.
Just as he was about to say something...
"Let them give it a try." Kai suddenly smiled and spoke up. "Since they are so confident, why not let them try."
The strong should have the confidence of the strong.
Looking at the young faces before him, all filled with confidence...
His originally anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
Uchiha Iketo, Senju Kimito, Shijō, Uchiha Obito, Uzumaki Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, Sasori, Kamizuru Yabachi, Muroto Jōen...
As long as the shinobi of the Land of Whirlpools still possess the belief of the strong, no one can destroy the Land of Whirlpools.
And...
Kai narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, and said, "Who said they are the only ones who can invade us."
And that the Land of Whirlpools can only passively defend like this.
You must know...
Their Uzumaki clan does not have the patience to just silently wait for the enemy to attack...
