Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Five days later.

Kaguya Rei, wearing a black robe, returned to the small town near the ruins of Uzushio Village with a helpless expression.

In the past few days, he traveled through most of the small country of Whirlpool Country, while searching for the whereabouts of the descendant of the Whirlpool clan mentioned in the optional mission, and at the same time clearing out those who had a greater reputation in the Country of Whirlpool. A wandering ninja group.

Unknowingly, he had increased his [Dark Harvest] level from the 30th level when he defeated the Konoha ANBU team to the current 379th level, and by consuming the soul fragment of an ANBU from the Shimura clan, he The stacking limit of [Dark Harvest] has been increased to 999 layers, and the soul strength amplification effect attached to it has also been increased to the second level.

From this aspect, Kaguya Rei's mission in the Country of Uzumaki can be said to have made a lot of money, even though he failed to complete the first optional mission due to Namikaze Minato's timely rescue and missed the mission. The same goes for a chance to draw secondary runes.

But unfortunately, Kaguya Rei did not find any information related to the descendants of the Uzumaki clan in the process of clearing the jungle.

After carefully pulling out his mission requirements and reading them several times, Kaguya Rei decided to return to Uzushio Village to try his luck before returning to the country to participate in the war against Konoha.

Since the battle with Konoha's ANBU team took place here, then maybe the opportunity to find the descendant of the Uzumaki clan is also here, right?

With this idea in mind, Kaguya Rei walked into this place belonging to the Uzumaki clan, which was rarely mentioned in the original work. Only the Namendo, which houses the Death Mask, was mentioned.

The battle that took place in the forest outside the village five days ago did not have much impact on this ruins that few people set foot on. Kaguya Rei only saw some decayed peripheral buildings along the way because He fell down in the aftermath of that battle, and the remaining parts still maintained the appearance they had when the Uzumaki clan was destroyed.

Walking in such a dead ninja village, the atmosphere is naturally a bit depressing. Fortunately, Kaguya Rei has lived in Kirigakure for fifteen years. The years of high-pressure atmosphere have tempered his extremely tough nerves, even if he sees the road A figure wearing a black robe flashed across the ruins of the building nearby, and he didn't feel the slightest fear in his heart——

Um?

Wait, that black-robed figure flashed by?

Kaguya put away her somewhat absent-minded state and quickly chased in the direction where the black-robed figure disappeared.

Kaguya Rei was very fast, but the black figure was not slow either. During the chase, the two figures quickly moved from the west side of the Uzushio Village ruins to the east side where there were fewer buildings, and that A black figure finally stopped in front of a collapsed tall building.

"Huh? Won't you take the initiative to attack?" Seeing Kaguya Rei's figure staying twenty meters away from him, the red-haired young man wearing a black robe turned his head in surprise and looked in his direction. "You chased me so closely, I thought you were planning to do something evil..."

"That's not the case. I just saw someone appear here suddenly and subconsciously wanted to see who it was."

Looking at the face of the red-haired young man, Kaguya took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

It was not because of anything else, but because in the socket of the red-haired young man's left eye, which was not covered by long bangs, there was an eye with a light purple background and a pupil surrounded by several circles.

Samsara Eye.

Nagato!

Although according to the timeline compiled by Kaguya Rei based on his past life memories, Nagato should not have experienced Yahiko's death at this time. He is still the same person who believes in the ideals of his best friend and believes that peace can be established with things other than violence. Bridge's prophesied child, but...

Being unprepared and facing a head-on encounter with a Nagato who was in his prime without any injuries was enough to give every time traveler who knew the future a cardiopulmonary arrest.

Shit system, the descendant of the Uzumaki clan you want me to find could be Nagato himself, right?

Damn it, Nagato is not a gua sha master like Namikaze Minato who lacks powerful attack methods. His attacks can really kill people!

Kaguya secretly complained, and quickly thought about how he should communicate with Nagato to prevent him from becoming hostile to her. But what surprised him was that before he could think of how to speak, , Nagato revealed his identity in one breath:

"The bones of the Kaguya clan...are you a ninja from Kirigakure?"

"Yes," Kaguya Rei was annoyed that she had overreacted due to unexpected events, and silently retracted the bone blade that slipped out of her hand, and cautiously replied to Nagato who did not move, "I We are tracking down the traitorous ninja in the village... What about you? Judging from your hair color, could you be a descendant of the Uzumaki clan?"

"Me? A descendant of the Uzumaki clan?" Nagato thought for a while and nodded gently, "You can think of it this way. Although this is my first time in this hometown."

"Are you planning to rebuild Uzushio Village? Relying on those eyes, relying on the power of the Rinnegan?"

Seeing that Nagato acted harmlessly, Kaguya Rei followed the idea that he was a Kirigakure ninja and continued to ask. This question first made Nagato stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head in denial with a little helplessness:

"That's right. The Kaguya clan is a ninja clan with a long history. It's not surprising that they know about the Rinnegan... But I don't have such thoughts about rebuilding Uzushio Village or anything like that."

"It was just because a new war was about to break out between Kirigakure and Konoha. At the same time, my companions mentioned that someone saw a fierce battle breaking out near the ruins of Uzushio Village, so I made an impromptu decision to come over to this place I had never seen before. It’s just a visit to my hometown.”

"As expected, this is also a sad land that has been ravaged by war and ambition and can only shed blood and tears helplessly."

Nagato paused, changed the subject, and asked Rei Kaguya, who was thinking about how to answer the conversation:

"Can you answer a question for me, Kirigakure ninja?"

"I will decide whether or not to answer depending on the severity of the question you ask, from the Uzumaki clan..."

"No, I'm not someone from the Uzumaki clan," Nagato shook his head, interrupting Kaguya Rei's speech, then raised his hand and tapped his ninja forehead protector with his thumb, introducing himself in a firm and proud tone. Said: "I am Nagato, from the Akatsuki organization of Yuyin Village."

"The Akatsuki organization...?"

Listening to the future big boss Nagato, who is trying to use nuclear deterrence to rule the ninja world, using a very proud boyish tone to introduce the first-generation Akatsuki organization that has not yet added bloody red clouds to the black robes of its members, Kaguya Rei's expression It couldn't help but become a little complicated.

"Rei Kaguya, I am Rei Kaguya of Kirigakure."

Hearing Kaguya Rei also report his name, the guard hidden deep in Nagato's eyes was slightly lowered. He took a deep breath and asked Kaguya Rei in a serious tone:

"Lianjun... right? The question I want to ask is... how long do you think this war will take before it ends?"

Sorry for the late update
