Chapter 426: Fate Intertwines Again
Chapter 426: Fate Intertwines Again
The Land of Rain, southwest.
There is a huge mountain range here that stretches for seven or eight hundred miles, known as the Roof of the World, and it spans several countries.
Next to the Kingdom of Rain is the boundless desert of the Kingdom of Wind. These two extreme climate regions are separated only by a mountain range.
The rain in the Rain Country not only affects the country itself, but also the River Country to the north is severely affected. The Rain Country is located at a higher altitude, and much of the rain that falls throughout the year is discharged into the River Country through rivers.
Many years ago, Nagato, the actual ruler of the Rain Country, implemented a plan called "Moving the Mountains". He planned to open up the mountain range by manpower.
If this can really be accomplished, not only will the Rain Kingdom benefit, but even the Wind Kingdom, which has been suffering from drought for many years, will be reborn.
So, he sent people to negotiate with the Wind Country to jointly promote this matter. As expected, they did not even meet the Daimyo of the Wind Country. Only a person in charge of receiving foreign guests met Nagato's envoy.
After hearing their proposal, people scoffed at it.
"Ridiculous! Do you know what that is?"
"The roof of the world!"
"You can't just move it away whenever you want. That's simply wishful thinking!"
After saying that, he turned and left, and soon after, someone drove the representative of the Rain Country out.
People simply think they are crazy. The Wind Country has been like that since ancient times, and they will not think of making any changes. Let's not talk about whether it can be done. Even if it is done after going through untold hardships, even if it rains at that time, this environmental change cannot be achieved overnight.
Even if the environment improves by then, and the desert turns into an oasis, it is estimated that it will take many years. The future generations will enjoy the benefits, and these people will work hard to do that. They are not willing to do such a thing!
Since he couldn't find any allies, Nagato decided to do it on his own.
However, in front of nature, Nagato seemed so insignificant. Even though he possessed the so-called immortal eyes, he seemed so powerless in front of the towering mountains.
The power of the Rinnegan is not something he can use unlimitedly whenever he wants. Every time he uses an overloaded ninjutsu, it will consume his lifespan and he will enter a period of weakness.
Even so, Nagato stepped onto the "Roof of the World" with the spirit of "Yugong moving mountains", but the altitude was too high and his body couldn't bear it.
Finally, Nagato manipulated Six Paths of Pain at the extreme position and started the plan. After so many years, Nagato did manage to fill a small gap. But compared to expectations, it was still too slow.
In addition, the price he paid was that Nagato was almost drained dry. Not only was he extremely skinny, but most of his hair had turned white.
That day, Nagato once again came back from there to recuperate.
"Nagato, let's stop!"
Konan said with tears in her eyes.
She felt that if this happened a few more times, Nagato would surely exhaust his life.
"Konan, we have controlled the Rain Country for so many years. We want to make their lives better, but the natural conditions make it impossible. I have thought a lot over the years. I am not a talented person and cannot be a good leader like Yahiko. All I can do is find the right direction and do it regardless of the consequences."
Over the years, Nagato had figured it out. Reality is reality. The so-called Moon Eye Project is nothing but self-deception! Anyone who could come up with this plan is either a madman or a fool, or has ulterior motives.
Over the years, Nagato's books were not read in vain. Even though he was not a smart person, he understood a lot of truths.
Fortunately, he hadn't seen the man who called himself Uchiha Madara for many years. He didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to know. As long as he wasn't disturbed, it would be fine.
"But you will die!"
After Xiaonan said this, she began to cry bitterly.
Nagato stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away Konan's tears, but he pulled his hand back halfway, as he felt that he shouldn't touch him in his current state.
"Woooooooo..."
Seeing Nagato's actions, Xiaonan felt a pain in her heart and could no longer suppress her emotions. Once upon a time, Nagato was still a handsome boy, but now he has become a half-human, half-ghost.
How cruel was fate to have such an arrangement for him.
"Xiao Nan, don't cry! I saw this sentence in a book: 'Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather.' If you die a good death, it means that your life in this world is not in vain."
"Woooo..."
After he said this, Xiaonan cried even more sadly.
Just when Nagato was about to comfort her again, something strange happened.
I saw a vortex appear not far away, and a figure slowly emerged from it.
Seeing this, Konan immediately stopped crying, and quickly stood beside Nagato, looking at the person she hadn't seen for many years as if facing a great enemy.
"what are you up to?"
Xiaonan questioned the other party.
"Humph! Have you forgotten that we are allies? It's ok that you have achieved nothing in all these years, but you are still working on the 'Moving Mountains' plan. It's simply laughable!"
It's said that he laughed his teeth off, but he didn't seem to laugh out loud. It was probably just a sarcastic remark.
"What's it got to do with you? We can do whatever we want. You've done nothing all these years, and you're still licking your face and talking about being an ally. I'm ashamed of you! I guess it's just because you're wearing a mask, otherwise, do you still have the nerve to be in front of us now?"
Good guy!
Xiaonan's tongue is really sharp. I don't know what he has seen over the years to become so sharp-tongued.
Uchiha Obito's face under the mask did not show any shyness or anything. He was full of energy now and would not be affected by a few words.
"I have a new plan, a plan that will benefit both of us. Do you want to cooperate with me?"
Uchiha Obito said bluntly.
"Oh--"
Nagato, who had been silent all this time, responded at this time.
"If you have something to say, say it. If you have nothing to say, get out!"
Xiaonan still spoke with a bad face.
"Nagato, who has the final say, you or this woman? How can a grown man need a woman to help you speak? Do you not know how to speak, or do you have to listen to this woman?"
Uchiha Obito responded to Konan's bad attitude without any hesitation.
"you--"
Xiaonan was furious. She was captured by this man in a despicable way back then, and she still felt angry!
"Konan! Listen to what he says!"
Xiaonan took a deep breath and stood back.
"Humph!"
Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, then looked at Nagato and spoke.
"You want to move the mountain, don't you? You can catch those tailed beasts to do hard labor for you. You know how to plow the fields! Many farmers use oxen to plow the fields. It's the same principle for you to use the tailed beasts to blow up the mountain!"
Uchiha Obito told the story slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Nagato's pupils constricted. These words seemed to open the door to a new world for him.
Half a day later, Uchiha Obito left, and Nagato temporarily put aside his plan of "Yugong moving mountains". He decided to start a new wave to destroy the ninja world.
The purpose this time is still for the peace in his heart and for great love!
