Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

"Uncle, the Ninjas from Kirigakure are chasing us." In mid-air, Xiao Ye looked back and reminded.

In fact, Li Yao knew it without being reminded. He smiled and said, "It's okay."

Bang!

Li Yao created a shadow clone and jumped down.

The people from Kirigakure quickly caught up.

"Expand..."

The middle-aged ninja who was in the lead was about to command everyone to form an attack formation when his consciousness was locked in a small dark room. Everyone ran a few steps subconsciously and fell to the ground as if they had suddenly turned into vegetables.

Li Yaoying cloned himself over, holding one in each hand, and began to devour chakra.

After devouring one, he would smash its head and then use Fire Style to cremate it.

Li Yao's real body quickly came to Bai Jue.

Bai Zetsu saw Li Yao coming with the vortex leaf, but he didn't care. He stood up and jumped onto the back of the big clay bird.

"Go to the Rain Country." Bai Jue said with a cold face.

"No problem." Li Yao laughed, changed the flight direction and flew towards the Rain Country.

"Let's go around the Fire Country via the sea, through the River Country and into the Rain Country." Bai Zetsu suddenly changed his mind and asked Li Yao to take a detour.

Otherwise, he was afraid that this guy would cause trouble again when passing through the Fire Nation.

When he calmed down just now, he realized that Li Yao was really not afraid of death, or in other words, he was really not afraid of death when it came to his bottom line.

So it’s best not to give this guy a chance to cause trouble.

"Then you show the way." Li Yao said. He knew the general direction of the Rain Country, but he didn't know the direction to the River Country.

"This way." Bai Zetsu pointed to the left, and Li Yao immediately controlled the clay bird to change direction.

After the three of them flew to an altitude of 5,000 meters, no one disturbed them. Bai Jue finally couldn't hold it in anymore and began to question Li Yao.

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning not to make too much noise and bring trouble to Madara-sama?"

"Why did you destroy the Daimyofu clan of the Land of Water and do something that shook the entire ninja world?"

Ha... Li Yao's eyes widened slightly, and he instantly had a black question mark face.

He thought that White Zetsu was questioning him about why he attacked the Hidden Mist Village and killed the Mizukage, but it turned out that attacking the Hidden Mist Village and killing the Third Mizukage was not as serious as the genocide of the Daimyo Mansion.

Something is wrong!

In an instant, Li Yao once again felt the distortion in the ninja world.

He immediately calmed down, buried the feeling deep in his heart, secretly observed the world, and soon showed a relaxed smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, my identity has not been exposed. The ninjutsu I used were all ninjutsu that I had never used before, so no one could associate it with me."

Those who guessed his identity or saw him use the black iron chain were all dead. They were either burned to ashes or, like the Third Mizukage, their bodies were left behind but their brains were tangled up, making it impossible to probe their memories and find out information about Li Yao.

"Even this won't work."

Bai Zetsu's expression did not improve. He looked at Li Yao and warned him, "If you do it again, Master Madara will kill you directly."

Hmm... Hearing that someone wanted to kill Li Yao, Xiao Ye's eyes suddenly focused, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he stared at Bai Jue.

She tilted her head to look at Li Yao. As long as Li Yao gave her a look, she would strike without mercy and kill the white clown who dared to threaten to kill the uncle.

I have to say, apart from the terrifying side, White Zetsu's image does look a bit like a clown.

Bai Jue didn't care at all about Xiao Ye's bad look and just stared at Li Yao.

"Understood." Li Yao shrugged.

It seems that he really needs to be careful before Madara dies. It is indeed not a good choice to provoke a dying old man.

Fortunately, after the soul read the memory of the Third Mizukage, the water transformation technique was already mastered, and the special water style black water chakra was also copied.

It’s okay not to go to the Sand Village next time. Anyway, there will be a chance to copy the magnetic chakra of the Third Kazekage in the future.

Just like that, Li Yao, who originally wanted to seek revenge on the daimyo of the other five major countries, was stopped.

On the surface, the appearance of White Zetsu seems to make sense.

But it is a fact that Li Yao's plan to continue killing the daimyo was indeed stopped.

Judging from the actions rather than the intentions, this incident gave Li Yao a clue in his mind that the current model of the ninja world was not formed naturally, but was most likely caused by human beings.

Gather all the ninjas together as much as possible to kill each other, and prevent them from spreading out into the world and having too much impact on the world.

Who can influence the direction of the ninja world without being noticed?

The Toad Sage of Myōboku Mountain who can predict the future may be one of them.

But Li Yao is more inclined to the Six Paths Sage hidden in the Pure Land.

After all, the source of chakra for everyone in the ninja world emanates from him.

In a sense, all people are children of the Six Paths Sage, and the chakra in their bodies has the chakra fluctuations of the Six Paths Sage... Hmm... Thinking of this, Li Yao suddenly frowned.

He suddenly thought of a question. After a ninja dies, his soul will enter the Pure Land and stay there forever. He has never seen other people reincarnate, and the Pure Land does not seem to have the function of reincarnation.

Then the problem is coming.

The two sons of the Six Paths Sage died so many times over the past thousand years. Why can their soul chakras be reincarnated forever, but other people's chakras cannot?

Is there a possibility that the Sage of Six Paths deliberately confiscated the soul chakras of his two sons and brought them to the Pure Land, instead letting them continue to reincarnate and fight in the Ninja World?

If this possibility is true, then the Sage of Six Paths is the mastermind behind the constant fighting in the ninja world.

Why did he do this?

Why did he die?

He has mastered the Six Paths of Samsara and inherited the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, so he can also use fairy techniques.

It doesn’t make sense that the toads in Myoboku Mountain are still alive and well, but the Sage of Six Paths is dead... It doesn’t make sense either.

The Six Paths Sage is not dead, his soul is alive and well in the Pure Land, it seems that the Pure Land was created by him.

What is the purpose of him creating the Pure Land to collect the souls of dead ninjas?

Why do you only collect the souls of dead ninjas and not the souls of ordinary people?

The more he thought about it, the more doubts and confusion filled Li Yao's mind.

He had a premonition that the Six Paths Sage must have an ulterior motive, and this motive... Alas!

We can only know it when he reaches a certain level of strength.

Chapter 185: Hope Brought by the Samsara Eye

"Forget it, why think so much now?"

"Just keep an eye out for intelligence information in this area in the future."

Li Yao secretly shook his head in his heart, collected his thoughts, and asked Bai Jue: "Tell me, what is the mission this time? You can't ask me to be a nanny again, right?"

Bai Zetsu nodded calmly, and Li Yao immediately looked praised.

"It's true!"

Li Yao felt uncomfortable. He would rather hide away by himself to study the perfect transformation technique than to be Nagato's babysitter like he had been for the past three years. He was very unhappy because he had to worry about being discovered when he wanted to eat something delicious.

But Madara's orders obviously cannot be disobeyed.

The killing of the daimyo this time might have really touched upon some arrangements of the Six Paths Sage. Li Yao has not yet obtained his great revenge, so he should just endure it for now.

"How long?" Li Yao asked.

"Until Madara's successor is found." White Zetsu replied.

"Still the same as before, staring at Nagato from a distance?" Li Yao continued to ask.

"No." White Zetsu shook his head and said, "Lord Madara asked you to sneak into Nagato's side and secretly protect his Samsara Eye."

"Remember, it's the Rinnegan, not Nagato."

White Zetsu reminded: "As long as the Rinnegan is safe, you don't need to interfere with Nagato's life or death."

What White Zetsu and Madara are afraid of is that someone will destroy the Rinnegan. As for Nagato's life or death, if it were before, they might have been a little worried.

Now it is not necessary. After three years of ninjutsu training with Jiraiya, the Uzumaki clan bloodline in Nagato has been completely stimulated, and he possesses a huge amount of chakra beyond that of ordinary people.

When facing dangerous moments, the Rinnegan will automatically activate its power. In the current ninja world, no one can be a match for the Rinnegan.

Even Li Yao is the same.

White Zetsu is confident about this.

"Infiltrate?"

Li Yao thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, this period should be the early period of the founding of Akatsuki, and the Land of Rain was the site of war among the three hidden villages.

Even though the war has stopped now, the chaos in the Rain Kingdom has not ended. The country is still in an extreme mode of doomsday where everyone is fighting each other for survival.

It was during this period that Nagato, Yahiko and others gathered the first group of Akatsuki followers.

Presumably, during this period, he had to fight a lot beside Nagato, so he could continue his experiments on mental energy fluctuations.

Just be careful not to let Nagato and the others find out.

This question is actually not a problem.

With his advantage of flying and soul perception ability, it is easy for him to hide the truth from Nagato and others.

"What about her? Can she sneak in with me to Nagato's side?" Li Yao glanced at Xiao Ye, then turned to ask Bai Zetsu.

"Okay." Bai Jue nodded. Ever since Li Yao brought the girl to see him, there was no way this girl would stay out of it.

"That's good." Li Yao said with a smile, then turned around and told Xiao Ye about the mission of protecting Nagato, emphasizing that Nagato was also a member of the Uzumaki clan.

When Xiao Ye heard that there was still a member of the tribe alive, his eyes suddenly lit up, but then he glanced at Li Yao and his eyes calmed down.

The Uzumaki clan has been wiped out, the Uzumaki Country is gone, and my parents are gone too.

The person closest to her now is the uncle, and what she wants most is to rescue her sealed mother.

She no longer cared about anything else.

If anyone dares to attack the uncle, even if he is from the Uzumaki clan, she will not show mercy.

……

Because of the detour, it took the three of them a week to fly to the Rain Country.

Having arrived here, Bai Jue can go down, but he still has to remind Li Yao before leaving.

"I remind you, don't use the spirit transformation technique in front of Nagato. The Samsara Eye can directly see your soul."

Bai Zetsu knew from the beginning that Li Yao could use the spirit transformation technique. Li Yao thought he was using it very secretly, but he didn't know that his own chakra could be sensed.

So he had to remind Li Yao, lest this guy use the spirit transformation technique in front of Nagato and get accidentally injured by Nagato, which would be embarrassing.

"You mean, the Rinnegan can see the soul directly!"

Li Yao suddenly had an idea at this moment, and looked at Bai Zetsu excitedly. The fiery look in his eyes made Bai Zetsu's heart tremble, thinking that Li Yao had coveted the Samsara Eye, and hurriedly reminded him seriously: "Li Yao, I solemnly advise you not to think about the Samsara Eye in the end. Not to mention that your life is still in the hands of Madara, the power of the Samsara Eye can control life and death. If you dare to use the spirit transformation technique to test Nagato, you will definitely die."

Before Obito proved himself to be capable of being the agent of the Moon Eye Project, White Zetsu really didn't want Li Yao to die because of his arrogance.

That’s right, Li Yao’s terrifying talent of being able to easily copy other people’s bloodline limit ninjutsu is indeed terrifying enough.

With this terrifying talent, Li Yao stood at the top of the ninja world in just a few years. Even if the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were alive, it is hard to say whether he could defeat the current Li Yao.

But that's only for ordinary people.

No matter how good Li Yao's talent in ninjutsu is, it is limited by his bloodline, and he can only copy some bloodline limits that are fused with chakra attributes.

Li Yao cannot copy the Kekkei Genkai of special bloodlines such as the Sharingan and the Byakugan.

Especially the Samsara Eye, which is the eye of the immortal that controls life and death.

Li Yao can never be copied.

This is also why, even though they knew that Li Yao had a terrifying talent, Madara and White Zetsu never worried that the day would come when Li Yao would grow up to be a threat to them.

No matter how strong Li Yao is, he is still at the limit of a mortal, and there is an insurmountable gap between him and an immortal.

Bai Zetsu was afraid that Li Yao would be too confident and lose his life, which would affect his plans.

"rest assured."
