Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Once Tsunade came to her senses, she took off running.

Xingxia Xiu didn't chase after him, licked his lips, and chuckled.

The wood clone rolled its eyes and scoffed, "If it doesn't work, will Tsunade punch you to death?"

Xingxia Xiu confidently declared, "I'm practically cheating!"

Even if he couldn't combine Yang Release nature transformation and Water Release nature transformation, he could still combine the power of White Zetsu and the Sharingan to restore Nawaki.

He didn't even need to obtain Sharingan from the Uchiha clan; his pair of tomoe Sharingan were enough.

These eyes are no longer of much use to him, so he could easily exchange them for his own.

However, with Wood Release as his foundation, Hoshino Shu was very confident that he could develop a medical bloodline limit.

Leaving his clone behind to continue serving as a slave, Hoshino also left the experimental base.

However, instead of going home, he went to Tsunade's house again.

Tsunade blushed when she saw him approaching: "What brings you here?"

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward: "Let me discuss with you the nature changes of Yang Release."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then nodded seriously: "No problem."

Time passed slowly, and their conversation deepened until they found themselves in bed.

……

Amegakure Village.

Konan and Yahiko were already asleep, but Nagato couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He opened the window, sat on the windowsill, hugged his knees, and grieved alone in the cold wind.

The better Xingxia Xiu treated him, the more he missed his parents.

Unconsciously, tears streamed down my face.

Suddenly, Hoshino appeared, sighed, and gently patted Nagato's back.

Nagato looked up: "Teacher..."

"Do you miss your mom and dad?"

Xingxia Xiu asked.

Nagato nodded silently.

Xingxia Xiu then asked, "Did they die in the war?"

Nagato nodded.

Hoshino asked, "Was he killed by Konoha ninja?"

Nagato looked up at Hoshino-shita with some nervousness.

Hoshita Hide ruffled Nagato's hair and asked, "Do you want to avenge them?"

Before Nagato could answer, Hoshino continued, "If it were me, I would avenge them."

Nagato was somewhat surprised, but then shook his head: "They're all dead."

Hoshino nodded and said, "My parents also died in the war."

"However, they died in battle as ninjas."

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Nagato, do you know the cause of this war?"

Nagato honestly replied, "It was Iwagakure and Konoha that started the war first."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "You could say that."

"Last year, Hanzo sent Amegakure to invade the Land of Rivers... In order to curb Hanzo's ambitions, Iwagakure and Konoha entered the Land of Rain one after another, as did Sunagakure. They initially fought against Amegakure in the Land of Rivers, and then entered the Land of Rains again."

"With the changing situation in the ninja world, in addition to the closed-off Kirigakure, Kumogakure also took the opportunity to go south and fight Konoha."

In just a few words, Hoshino explained the situation of this Ninja World War, and Nagato saw the whole picture for the first time.

But this is only part of the story.

Hoshita Hide asked, "Nagato, do you know why this war happened?"

Nagato thought for a moment and then shook his head.

He couldn't explain it.

The Land of Rain did not invade Konoha, Iwagakure, or Sunagakure, but the latter all attacked the Land of Rain.

Konoha did not invade Kumogakure, but Kumogakure targeted Konoha.

Furthermore, Konoha and Iwagakure are separated by several countries, yet they are at war in the Land of Rain.

So many people died because of the Rain Country, just to curb Hanzo's ambitions?

He couldn't understand it!

Hoshita Hideyo said, "Actually, before Hanzo wanted to take over the Land of Rivers, the major ninja villages were already preparing for war."

"Even if Hanzo hadn't invaded the Land of Rivers, this Shinobi World War would still have broken out; it would have just been delayed by a year or two at most."

"At that time, apart from Kirigakure, which was isolated from the world, the other four great ninja villages would be at war over the distribution of spoils. And the Land of Rain, situated between the three great nations, would inevitably become a battlefield."

"This is related to the First Shinobi World War."

Nagato was quick-witted and immediately grasped the key point: "Profit distribution?"

Hoshino nodded: "This is the origin of the war."

"During the Warring States period, nations and ninja clans constantly attacked each other until the Senju clan of Konoha, led by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, also known as the God of Shinobi, joined forces with Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha clan to establish Konoha Village, thus initiating the system of one village per nation."

"Later, in order to balance the power of various countries and stop the war, Hashirama Senju distributed the Tailed Beasts, thus laying the foundation for the current situation in the ninja world."

"However, with the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the original balance was broken, and the First Shinobi World War broke out."

"Our Second Hokage of Konoha, the Second Raikage of Kumogakure, the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure, and the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure all died in battle around that time."

Nagato had forgotten his sorrow and was captivated by what Hoshino Hideyoshi was saying, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sensei, what are tailed beasts?"

Hoshino explained: "A chakra creature with enormous chakra and human intelligence. The major ninja villages sealed the tailed beasts into the bodies of ninjas, creating the Jinchuriki as a weapon."

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, the One-Tails Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha."

"Of course, I killed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and took possession of the Four-Tails, which is currently sealed within me."

Nagato was surprised and stared wide-eyed at Hoshino Shu.

Xingxia Xiu raised his left hand, his palm covered by lava armor. The terrifying temperature distorted the air and caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.

"This is the power of the Four-Tails, the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, which is formed by the fusion of Earth Release and Fire Release nature transformations."

Nagato exclaimed in a low voice, "Amazing!"

Hoshino Hideaki withdrew his Lava Release technique and said, "Now that you have a general understanding of the situation in the entire ninja world, what can be done to prevent war in the Land of Rain?"

Nagato pondered, "If someone were as powerful as Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, then the other ninja villages wouldn't dare to wage war again, would they?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "That works too."

"By using overwhelming force to deter all sides, we can ensure that the Land of Rain will not become a battlefield before you die, or before a stronger being emerges in another ninja village."

"So, what if you want to avenge your parents?"

"What should we do then?"

Nagato lowered her head.

The parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and those two Konoha ninjas also died.

If you want revenge, you should take it from Konoha.

However, the reason why Konoha entered the Land of Rain to wage war was because Hanzo launched a war against the Land of Rivers.

Are we looking for Hanzo?

But Hanzo had already been killed by his teacher.

The latest novel is first published here!

Moreover, even if Hanzo hadn't invaded the Land of Rivers, according to the teacher, the Land of Rain would still have become a battlefield, perhaps...

Therefore, the enemy is still Konoha.

Or other great ninja villages or major countries.

For a moment, Nagato felt lost and confused.

Hoshino Hide's voice rang in her ears: "Nagato, revenge isn't as complicated as you think."

"If it were just about killing the people who killed your parents, that would be the end of it."

"If you still feel that this is not enough to vent your anger, then continue to take revenge on Konoha, march into the village, question the Hokage, and vent your hatred."

Nagato looked up in surprise: "But, teacher, you..."

Hoshino Shigehime chuckled, "I'm a Konoha ninja too?"

"That depends on your determination."

"If there is something that absolutely must be done, then there must be something that must be given up."

"I am your teacher. If you want to take revenge on Konoha, then when I stand against you, I will also be your enemy."

"Your parents weren't killed by the teacher, but the teacher was a member of Konoha, and also an invader and an enemy of the Land of Rain and Amegakure."

There's a saying: "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."

"Nagato, today I'll teach you a lesson. If you become enemies, then you must put away your mercy, because your mercy will become a sword that harms yourself and your comrades."

Nagato stared blankly at Hoshishita Hide, completely unexpected that Hoshishita Hide would say such a thing.

Hoshino Hide ruffled Nagato's red hair and said, "A person's perception depends on their environment, as well as their perspective, capacity, or rather, the level of their thinking."

"Take revenge for example."

"Some people kill the person in front of them. Others kill everyone connected to their enemy, to get to the bottom of things. For example, you could take revenge on Konoha."

"But if one's thinking rises further, one's vision extends further, and one understands the essence of war, then one will set one's sights on a higher level."

"For example, your previous New Year's wishes were to bring an end to war in the Land of Rain, and even to an end to war in the entire ninja world."

"In that case, the Land of Rain, and even other countries, will not suffer the same tragedy as you."

"But no matter what, first you have to survive, and you have to have the power to carry it out."

He patted Nagato on the shoulder: "Alright, go back to sleep. Even though tomorrow is New Year's Day, you can't slack off on your training."

"The Land of Rain is peaceful now, but that doesn't mean it will be in the future."

"Self-pity and internal mental exhaustion are the worst things to do."

"The meaning of life lies in the action, not the outcome."

After saying that, Xingxia Xiu disappeared.

Nagato sat there blankly for a while, then went back to her room and crawled into bed.

He soon fell asleep and then had a dream.

In his dream, he, Yahiko, and Konan grew into powerful ninjas, leading Amegakure to victory over Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, protecting the Land of Rain.

In my dream, I saw the shadow of my teacher, Hoshino Shu…

The first day of the new year.

When Nagato got up, he found the living room and kitchen already very lively. He quickly washed up and came out to help make breakfast.

After the sumptuous breakfast was ready, Xingxia Xiu first took out the New Year's gift she had prepared.

"Hey, this dagger is for you."

First, Hoshino handed a short sword to Yahiko.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiu!"

Yahiko took it.

Hoshino gave Konan another exquisite kunai.

What was given to Nagato, however, was a scroll.

Yahiko stared wide-eyed and said, "Teacher Hide is so biased! He actually gave Nagato a ninjutsu."

Hoshino Hide scoffed, "If Yahiko were like Nagato, I'd also give you a unique Water Release ninjutsu."
