I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

"Injury? Not his own eye?!"

This time, Uzumaki Nagato and Konan were both surprised and happy. They were happy because Li Mo, the big boss, actually said that he could solve Uzumaki Nagato's injuries and sequelae, which had troubled Uzumaki Nagato and Konan for a long time. They felt that it was difficult to solve the situation and could only save Uzumaki Nagato's life. What surprised them was that Li Mo pointed at the [Rinnegan] that Uzumaki Nagato thought he had opened, but said that it was not Uzumaki Nagato's own [Rinnegan].

There is no doubt that a trace of doubt arose in Uzumaki Nagato's heart. He even wondered if Li Mo had been spying on his [Rinnegan]. However, Li Mo's calm attitude made Uzumaki Nagato temporarily suppress this idea!

"That's right. You are not of the Uchiha clan. How could you possibly reach the Samsara Eye by upgrading the Sharingan? That's totally impossible!"

Seeing that Uzumaki Nagato did not directly choose to refute or question, Li Mo looked at him and pointed at his eyes, and directly said a secret that few people in the ninja world knew: "The three major eye techniques in the ninja world, the [Baiyan] is the bloodline limit of the Hyuga family, the [Sharingan] is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, but few people know about the [Samsara eye]. If the strong of the Uchiha clan integrates the power of the universe, there is a chance that the [Sharingan] can be promoted to the [Samsara eye]..."

That's right, what Li Mo said was naturally a secret that few people in the world of Naruto knew. As for the three major eye techniques that were widely circulated in the ninja world, many ninjas could name the [Baiyan], [Sharingan] and [Samsaragan], and they also knew about the Hyuga family and the Uchiha family, but few people knew the specific details.

At least, the secret information about the Sharingan's development from one magatama to three magatama, to the extraordinary Mangekyō Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and then to the fusion of Wood Release which gives a glimmer of hope for advancement to the Rinnegan, is not even known to the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village now. Similarly, the relationship between the Byakugan and the Samsaragan is also unknown to the Hyuga clan of Konoha Village. However, the Otsutsuki branch on the moon knows the mystery.

Although Uzumaki Nagato founded the Akatsuki organization and successfully occupied the Rain Village, his understanding of the [Rinnegan] and the [Gedoh Statue] is probably not as good as that of Uchiha Obito who was thrown into the laboratory by Li Mo. Not to mention the filial Black Zetsu. Many of the secrets he knows can be traced back to ancient times. For example, the abnormal climate in the Rain Country and many places are the sequelae of the battle thousands of years ago.

At this time, Li Mo did not intend to tell Uzumaki Nagato all the secrets, but telling him some information about the [Rinnegan] was completely a preparation to accept him as a subordinate. The little incidental benefits he gave were nothing at all.

"Sharingan? Samsara Eye? The power of all things..."

Facing Li Mo's revelations, Uzumaki Nagato's face looked very interesting, turning red and bright and gradually turning into iron blue. He obviously remembered the mysterious man who found him and called himself "Uchiha Madara", and their behind-the-scenes intentions in guiding him to do so.

It's not that Uzumaki Nagato would easily believe what others say, but he was also vaguely aware of the appearance of Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu and their purpose before and was secretly on guard against them. Moreover, with Li Mo's current status and position, his words are much more credible than those of someone who speaks without any evidence. As the highest governor of the Ninja World Alliance, could it be possible that what he said to himself was nonsense?

In this regard, Uzumaki Nagato felt that what Li Mo said was still credible to a certain extent, but he also did not completely believe what Li Mo said. After all, the powerful bloodline limit of the [Rinnegan] was too tempting in the ninja world!

"Alright! I'll help you heal your injuries first. As for the matter of the Samsara Eye, you can decide for yourself. You can keep it for yourself or ask me to solve it later!"

Li Mo did not take Uzumaki Nagato's hesitant attitude seriously and knew that he was wavering in his mind. Instead, he kindly suggested that his interest in the [Rinnegan] was limited to studying it. The [Rinnegan] would not make him want to seize it, so he let Uzumaki Nagato decide for himself.

"...No, Mr. Li Mo, please help me solve the problem of the [Samsara Eye]. I think my former companions think the same way!"

When he heard Li Mo's kind proposal, Uzumaki Nagato suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Mo, then looked at Deva Pain of the Six Paths of Pain who had always been with him, took a deep breath and made his final decision.

If the Ninja Alliance had not appeared, Uzumaki Nagato would have relied on the [Rinnegan] and the Six Paths of Pain that he controlled, as well as the [Outer Path Demon Statue] that could summon spirits. Even for the sake of Konan, his only friend, and those members of the Akatsuki organization who still trusted him, he would not give up the powerful strength brought by the [Rinnegan]. Otherwise, in the Rain Country or even in the Ninja World, the weak would be bullied at will.

However, the sudden emergence of the Ninja Alliance gave Uzumaki Nagato, who was originally supporting the Rain Village alone, a sense of new hope. He and Konan had been traveling in the Ninja Alliance's territory for such a long time that he was already inclined to join the Ninja Alliance. Moreover, compared to the Ninja Alliance, which was unfathomable and intimidating to the remaining three major countries and a group of small countries, a pair of [Reincarnation Eyes] could not be considered invincible. Uzumaki Nagato had never underestimated the Ninja Alliance that could easily swallow up the Mist Village and the Sand Village.

Even for Konoha Village, the leader of the five great ninja villages, without god-level super-shadow-level strongmen like Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, it would have to pay a terrible price to destroy the two great ninja villages, and there was a high probability that the Kumo Village and the Iwa Village would take advantage of them. Uzumaki Nagato felt that since he and Konan had joined the Ninja World Alliance, it would be acceptable for him to ask the other party to help solve the [Rinnegan] that might have hidden dangers.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows and nodded in approval at Uzumaki Nagato's choice. He looked at Uzumaki Nagato and Konan and had no intention of treating them immediately. Instead, he spoke to them more cautiously:

"Very good, then you should have a good rest today. I will arrange for you to take tests tomorrow and then formulate a specific treatment plan~!"

Chapter 57: The Hidden Piece

The chronic illnesses and old injuries on Nagato Uzumaki's body, as well as the injuries caused by the chakra black stick piercing his body, were difficult to deal with in the eyes of medical ninjas and even Tsunade. They were special injuries caused by gradually overdrawing his body and causing mixed disabilities.

To put it in more understandable terms, Uzumaki Nagato's injuries were caused by his own vitality being overdrawn. Although he was in his twenties, his internal organs had aged to those of a fifty-year-old. Those chakra black sticks had even merged with his flesh and blood. Combined with the use of the extraordinary power of [chakra], he had reached a strange symbiotic state that gave the healer a headache.

In other words, if Uzumaki Nagato were to be operated on rashly to remove the chakra black stick, the consequence would most likely be a chain reaction. Moreover, the [Rinnegan] had been absorbing Uzumaki Nagato's [chakra]. The multiple interactions made Uzumaki Nagato's condition worse and worse. When he appeared in the plot, he was sitting in a wheelchair waiting to die.

As for Uzumaki Nagato's stubborn old injuries, Li Mo asked Orochimaru and Tsunade to help check them, and he personally healed the opponent's injuries, and even used a [Moonlight Seed] to fuse with it to make up for his overdrawn vitality.

If Li Mo had not intervened, Orochimaru and Tsunade alone would have been very troublesome to deal with Uzumaki Nagato's injuries. Although the two of them could cure most injuries in the ninja world together, serious injuries that overdrawn vitality and mixed with other complications were really troublesome. Replenishing vitality was not an easy task, otherwise Orochimaru would not have had to pursue immortality so much.

——Although abundant vitality may not necessarily make a ninja immortal, it can make a ninja live a long life and have a huge amount of chakra. For example, it is not uncommon for the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan to live over a hundred years unless they died in battle. However, if the vitality is overdrawn, it would be very difficult to make up for the overdrawn vitality of a ninja unless a strong man of the first level of the Six Paths takes action, or the Yang-style ninjutsu has reached the pinnacle.

Uzumaki Nagato and Konan also had some estimation of this point in their minds. After they took over the Rain Village, they had thought about treating Uzumaki Nagato's injuries. However, on the one hand, they had to keep Uzumaki Nagato's identity and the secret of the [Rinnegan] secret, and on the other hand, the medical ninjas they found could not even treat Uzumaki Nagato's disabled legs, let alone other difficult problems.

With Li Mo's personal attack, Uzumaki Nagato's special injury was no problem. After fusing with the [Seed of Moonlight] and making up for the loss of vitality, the opponent was able to get out of bed and walk on the third day. Konan, who had also fused with the [Seed of the Fiery Sun], successfully broke through the quasi-shadow and became a true shadow-level powerhouse.

However, Uzumaki Nagato's [Rinnegan] was still taken off. The reason was that this pair of [Rinnegan] was actually something that Uchiha Madara once owned. For people who were not from the Uchiha clan, it was a treasure that could cost their lives!

………………

"I have completely recovered..."

Half a month later, at a training ground on the outskirts of the main city of the Rainbow Island administrative district, Uzumaki Nagato was looking at his hands with great joy. His eyes, which had been trained through special means, even had a hint of excitement that could not be concealed.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced the disability of both legs and have to use a wheelchair to understand Uzumaki Nagato's current excitement. What's more, Uzumaki Nagato had to rely on overdrawing his own vitality to satisfy the consumption of the [Rinnegan]. It can be said that every day he survived was torment. The desperate feeling that he was gradually moving towards the end of his life was also an important reason for Uzumaki Nagato's later extreme behavior.

Now, Uzumaki Nagato was delighted to find that his legs had recovered as before. The feeling of being able to move on his own was so wonderful. Moreover, he took off his [Rinnegan] and replaced it with eyes cultivated by his own cells. It was as if a huge stone was removed from his body. After that relaxed and comfortable feeling combined with the fusion of the [Moonlight Seed], Uzumaki Nagato, who had replenished his own vitality, directly activated the [Sage Body] and was also promoted to the peak combat power of the Kage level.

To be honest, the person that Uchiha Madara chose to keep his [Rinnegan], Uzumaki Nagato was chosen because he was also a direct descendant of the Uzumaki clan. The pure Uzumaki bloodline made his vitality strong and his chakra extremely large, otherwise he would not have been regarded by Jiraiya as a possible son of prophecy. However, the fact that he did not match the [Rinnegan] had greatly reduced his growth, otherwise he would now be a peak Kage-level powerhouse.

Thanks to Li Mo taking off the [Rinnegan] and recuperating him, Uzumaki Nagato, who had integrated the [Moonlight Seed], was directly promoted to the peak level of Kage, and there is even a good hope that he will be promoted to the Super Kage level. At that time, he will truly be among the top powerful people in the ninja world.

"Nagato!"

When Uzumaki Nagato was overjoyed at his new life, he suddenly heard the familiar voice of Li Mo. He turned around and saw Li Mo coming towards him with Tsunade and Konan. Konan also waved and greeted Uzumaki Nagato.

"grown ups!"

Seeing his savior and immediate superior coming, Uzumaki Nagato saluted and spoke respectfully to Li Mo, and when Li Mo signaled him not to be so polite, he respectfully withdrew his courtesy and greeted Konan and Tsunade.

Uzumaki Nagato was also full of gratitude towards Tsunade, one of his saviors. When he was treated by Li Mo, Tsunade and Orochimaru served as assistants. Orochimaru was busy studying Li Mo and had no interest in him, so he gave him the Rinnegan. Tsunade had a good relationship with Konan, as Konan was now following Li Mo. Uzumaki Nagato, who had already guessed the general situation, did not dwell on it. He even privately blessed Konan, who was like a sister to him.

As for the Six Paths of Pain, Li Mo transformed them into special puppets, and they still followed Uzumaki Nagato. However, their strength was definitely not as good as the Six Paths with the Rinnegan, but Uzumaki Nagato did not care too much about their combat effectiveness.

"Nagato, don't worry. Your body has recovered and your [Sage Body] has been activated. You can spend some time practicing and improving yourself!"

Li Mo was very pleased with Nagato Uzumaki's respectful attitude and nodded in approval. He also assessed Nagato Uzumaki's current physical condition and made detailed arrangements for his next strategy for Rain Village and Rain Country while giving instructions: "In addition, you have to return to Rain Village. I will arrange a group of people for you. They will assist you as Rain Ninjas and gradually improve the living environment of Rain Village and Rain Country. For the time being, the Ninja Alliance cannot be exposed..."

There is no doubt that Li Mo is not planning to continue to provoke the three major countries and a group of small countries in the ninja world. The fact is that they have been greatly stimulated now. According to the intelligence summary of the shadow soldiers, the two daimyos of the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire have already reached an agreement and reached a consensus with the daimyos of the Land of Lightning and are ready to actually sign the covenant.

The three major countries have already done this, and Konoha Village, Cloud Village, and Iwagakure are naturally no exception. Even if the three major ninja villages had just fought on the battlefield not long ago, they have their own Kage and elders giving orders, plus the threat from the Ninja World Alliance, it is not surprising that the three major ninja villages and other small ninja villages are united against the outside world. Li Mo even feels that if he takes over the Rain Village, the Ninja World Alliance may be able to start forming. They are not stupid enough to be defeated one by one by the Ninja World Alliance.

There is no way to deal with the Water Country, the countries in the Ninja Continent do not have much influence overseas. The Wind Country was raided and captured by the Ninja Alliance. The Ninja World had never experienced such a scene before. The major ninja villages were just like the countries in the war before Li Mo traveled through time. They never thought that a raid on a ninja village with strong men and elite troops could be successful. Moreover, the Sand Village was too weak and was directly occupied and swallowed up by the Ninja Alliance.

Now, each of the three major ninja villages has strengthened the tasks of perception ninjas and reconnaissance ninjas. It is impossible to launch a surprise attack by airship. Even the three major countries have increased their internal and external alert levels.

"As you command! Sir!"

After hearing Li Mo's instructions, Uzumaki Nagato, who had also made up a lot of knowledge in politics and military affairs in the past half month and had made great progress in his knowledge, thought about it and realized that his boss was not going to turn against the three major countries now. At most, he would choose to let the Rain Village and the Rain Country become the hidden pawns of the Ninja Alliance. However, he did not object to this matter and agreed to it without hesitation.

If he were to return to Rain Village, Uzumaki Nagato would bring with him the disguised personnel arranged by the Ninja Alliance. He felt that he would have to make up a suitable identity. Otherwise, after several months, there might be spies sent into Rain Village from the other three major countries!

……

Five days later, Uzumaki Nagato left with more than a hundred elite members of the Ninja Alliance dressed as Rain Ninjas. He had received detailed information from Li Mo that some problems had indeed appeared in the Rain Village after he had left for several months.

This is also a normal situation. Not to mention that Uzumaki Nagato relied on Pain's Six Paths of the [Rinnegan] to take over the Rain Village, and he also controlled the general movements of the entire Rain Country through the [Rain Tiger Free Technique]. Even if it was Konoha Village, Iwagakure and even Kumogakure, if the shadow of one of the three major ninja villages disappeared for several months, I'm afraid someone would have some small thoughts, not to mention Uzumaki Nagato who only left some backup plans.

Fortunately, Uzumaki Nagato had used the [Illusion Body Technique] from time to time to appear in the Rain Village from a distance and deal with problems. Even if someone in the Rain Village seemed to have sensed something was wrong, they would not rashly seek death without actual evidence and were afraid of Uzumaki Nagato's power. However, the three major ninja villages had sent personnel to hide in the Rain Village in recent days and expressed their desire to form an alliance, which made a few people become active.

Knowing this news, Uzumaki Nagato had to give up his training in the administrative district of Rainbow Island, and prepared to lead his people back to Rain Village with some regret. In order to disguise as the hidden man of Rain Village, Li Mo was even more considerate and prepared a vest puppet of the demigod Salamander Hanzo for him. Otherwise, if Uzumaki Nagato, a member of the Uzumaki clan, became the leader of Rain Village, I'm afraid that someone in Konoha Village would want to do some small tricks again.

Seeing the giant airship that Uzumaki Nagato was riding disappear into the sky, Li Mo put his arms around Tsunade and Konan's waists, feeling the attentive service of the two beauties while squinting his eyes at the Ninja World:

"Hehe, what's going to happen next is a stalemate~!"

Chapter 58 Stalemate

The situation in the entire ninja world is gradually forming a stalemate between the Ninja Alliance on one side and the three major countries and a group of small countries on the other!

There is no need to say much about the Ninja Alliance. Li Mo established the Ninja Alliance by integrating the Rainbow Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, and the Water Kingdom. Then he raided and captured the Wind Kingdom. The two major ninja villages and the three-headed tailed beast became the resources of the Ninja Alliance and also alerted other countries.

At the beginning, only the Water Country, the Sea Country and the Rainbow Country formed the so-called Ninja Alliance. Even with the Mist Village, one of the five major ninja villages, and a group of stragglers, the other four major ninja countries might not be too vigilant. After all, since the establishment of the one-country-one-ninja-village system in Konoha Village, the presence of the Mist Village and the Water Country in the Ninja World was not high. Moreover, the Mist Village and the Water Country were on the sea. Even when the Ninja Alliance was established, it would be difficult for other major countries and ninja villages to interfere.

Especially in the three consecutive Ninja World Wars, the Mist Village returned empty-handed. In the eyes of other large ninja villages and even various countries, even though the Ninja Alliance posed a certain threat, no one really regarded it as a strong enemy or even an irresistible enemy. However, the destruction of the Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind made the Ninja Alliance famous.

If that were all, the daimyo who viewed the Ninja World War as a war blockbuster might not necessarily feel that the Ninja Alliance was such a big threat. However, the key point is that the system of the Ninja World Alliance is different. It is not one country and one ninja village, but an absolutely centralized system.

In the Ninja Alliance, most of the former daimyo and nobles were marginalized. Occasionally, a "lucky" noble would come to power, but most of the original vested interest groups had lost their power and were secretly weakened or even cleared out by Li Mo. What was more, what made the Ninja Alliance unbearable to other countries was that, in addition to completely stripping away the power of those daimyo and nobles, it also established a ninja army instead of the so-called ninja village system.

In this case, the danger level of the Ninja Alliance in the eyes of the Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Lightning Kingdom will increase significantly. There are still many smart people in the Ninja World, and they can naturally vaguely perceive that the changes brought about by the professional ninja army are definitely different from the ninja villages with different task employment systems. It is not known how big the gap between the two sides is, but the ninja army of the Ninja Alliance can get the full support of the Ninja Alliance. Can the ninja villages of various countries get the support of their countries?

Perhaps, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will fully support the development of the Cloud Village, but for villages like Konoha, Iwagakure, and even the previous Sand Village and Mist Village, if they want to obtain the full support of their own country, that would require the war situation to reach an extremely dangerous level.

For example, for Konoha Village and Sand Village, it was considered good to receive the normal allocated funds agreed upon each year. If they wanted more, they had to negotiate with the daimyo. Unfortunately, Konoha Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire were friendly on the surface but competing internally. The Daimyo of the Land of Wind was even more covetous of the Sand Village, and their support was not as strong as that of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning for the Cloud Village. They even cut a large amount of funding for the Sand Village at one point.

The problem is that even the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, who is the most supportive of the development of the Cloud Village, is actually hindered by his own interests and the many nobles of the Land of Lightning. His personal full support for the Cloud Village is different from the full support of the Land of Lightning for the Cloud Village. Not to mention villages like Konoha and Iwagakure. They receive a certain amount of funding from the Daimyo every year, but many of them also rely on commissions from ninja village taxes and mission commissions. Let alone expecting the full support of the Daimyo of their own country, it would be rare for the Daimyo not to secretly drag their feet.

Li Mo knew the key reason, which was the "double jade" theory mentioned by the previous daimyo of the Fire Nation. No matter whether it was the daimyo or the nobles of that country, did they really completely trust those ninjas holding the sword handles?

The answer to this question is self-evident. In the previous Warring States Period of the Ninja World, the lords of each city hired ninjas to fight in the war, and they paid a price for the fights between ninjas. Later, even with the emergence of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the system of one country and one ninja village was formed, but the fear of ninjas by the daimyo and nobles was still hidden in their hearts and would not disappear.

Therefore, the two gods, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who founded the Konoha Village, launched the Ninja World War, which lasted less than 50 years and lasted for three times, resulting in the deaths of a large number of ninjas. Naturally, there was a hidden push from the daimyos and nobles of various countries, in order to consume those unstable ninjas.

According to the plot line of the original anime of "Naruto", the daimyo and the nobles have gained the greatest benefits. Even during the Fourth Ninja World War, the Allied Ninja Forces had to send masters and elites to guard the daimyo of the five major countries. Even though Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke won, no substantial changes took place in the ninja world. At most, technology advanced and became popular, but the ninja villages were still ninja villages, and the daimyo were still daimyo.

But now the situation in the ninja world, with Li Mo's rapidly growing wind god pterosaur flapping its wings, is completely different from the original world of "Naruto". The emergence and style of the Ninja Alliance has made the daimyos and nobles of various countries, who know more and more details, unable to sit still. They began to actively contact other daimyos and reached a consensus, that is, they will never allow the Ninja Alliance to expand like this.

Even though the Ninja Alliance arranged by Li Mo used a lot of sleight of hand, the daimyos of various countries also understood that if they let the Ninja Alliance swallow up their countries, they would probably end up being a rich and idle person, or be unlucky enough to be exiled to an overseas island.

For those daimyo who hold power in a country and enjoy wealth and splendor, losing power and wealth and being exiled overseas is absolutely something they cannot tolerate. Even the nobles of various countries are unwilling to lose the power in their hands. The actions of the Ninja Alliance in the Original Water Country and the Original Wind Country were intentionally spread by the daimyo and nobles who knew about it. The powerful people of the three major countries and various small countries tended to resist the Ninja Alliance, so it was naturally impossible for them to secretly instigate fratricide between ninja villages.

After all, the daimyo and the nobles were very hostile to the Ninja Alliance and wanted to destroy the Ninja Alliance which was obviously not on the same path as them. However, it was impossible for them to go to the battlefield to fight on their own, so naturally they had to let the original ninja villages contribute. The ninja villages such as Konoha Village, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, faced with the pressure from their own daimyo and nobles, temporarily put aside their previous hatred and chose to unite.

After all, those daimyos and nobles are the financiers of the ninja villages. It is impossible for Konoha Village to have any complaints against their financiers. Moreover, the Ninja Alliance has already swallowed up the Mist Village and the Sand Village. Even the Cloud Village, which has not been directly threatened, has felt the extremely heavy pressure from the Ninja Alliance.

Even the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage felt that the Cloud Village was no match for the Ninja Alliance, which had already swallowed up the Mist and Sand Villages and had the manpower and material support of two major countries and a group of small countries. Konoha Village, which had suffered heavy losses, and Iwagakure, which was in a period of transition, also did not think that they could defeat the Ninja Alliance in a single fight. With a sense of crisis and the demands of their financial backers, they naturally began to prepare to unite.

However, as for the three major countries, the three major ninja villages and a group of small countries and small ninja villages, it is just a dream to expect them to unite in solidarity all of a sudden. Ever since Uzumaki Nagato and Konan left the Rain Village and traveled all the way to choose to join the Ninja World Alliance, the three major ninja villages and several vassal small ninja villages have secretly discussed several times before they reluctantly reached an agreement on joint defense. As for the three major countries and a group of small countries, they are still arguing over the share of funds and materials needed by those ninja villages, and there is no result.

What's the reason?

Among the three major ninja villages and several small vassal ninja villages, the ones bordering the Ninja World Alliance are Konoha Village and Iwagakure. The second strongest Kumogakure is behind. So Konoha Village and Iwagakure naturally don't want to advance rashly, otherwise it will be easy for them to lose everything and let others take advantage.

Similarly, the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth and several small countries that are facing the threat of the Ninja Alliance are the most anxious, but the Land of Lightning, which is far away, does not feel too urgent. Moreover, it is one thing for the daimyos and nobles of various countries to feel the threat of the Ninja Alliance, but it is another thing to ask them to take large sums of money out of their own pockets for war. It is very common to see people who would rather sacrifice their lives than their money.

According to common sense, Li Mo should have chosen to defeat the remaining three countries and three ninja villages one by one before they could fully unite. However, he did not let the Ninja Alliance take immediate action. On the contrary, there was no major action after taking over the Wind Country and the Sand Village. Even Uzumaki Nagato and the Rain Village who took the initiative to surrender, Li Mo arranged them as hidden pieces instead of directly absorbing them. The reason was that the Ninja Alliance was also in a state of being overwhelmed.

Before the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance, Li Mo's base was the more than 6 million people of the former Rainbow Kingdom. He had infiltrated most of the Sea Kingdom and other small ocean countries. The Water Kingdom also had a certain influence, but he did not do much business with the Wind Kingdom. When the Ninja World Alliance was established, he took over the Water Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, and the Wind Kingdom in one go. The total population was approaching 30 million, and there were too many available manpower needed and problems that arose.

Therefore, Li Mo did not let the overstuffed Ninja Alliance take any further action, and planned to wait for several years to digest the situation. The combined forces of the three major countries and the Ninja Village also had a huge mess to deal with, and the Ninja Alliance had taken down the threat of the Wind Country in a short period of time. For a while, both sides tacitly sorted out their internal affairs instead of attacking.

As the stalemate formed in the ninja world, the Ninja Alliance, which was busy reorganizing its internal affairs, and the countries that had united with great difficulty, formed two different camps. However, both sides had their own concerns and did not choose to go to war but instead confronted each other!

Chapter 59: A Few Years in a Hurry

As Li Mo ordered the Ninja Alliance to stop its actions and instead digest the population and territory it had just annexed, the three major countries and a group of small countries on the other side of the Ninja World went through countless wars of words before barely reaching an alliance agreement.

The content of the alliance agreement was very simple. The three remaining countries and a group of small countries in the ninja world, according to their respective national strength and locations, provided money and materials to hire ninjas from the three major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages. They also dispatched their own ninjas and soldiers to guard the border with the Ninja Alliance. If the Ninja Alliance launched an attack, they would work together to fight back the Ninja Alliance.

Why didn't they take the initiative to attack the Ninja Alliance?

This is really a good question, but anyone with a normal IQ, looking at the three major ninja villages that were still fighting a few months or even years ago, and a group of small ninja villages that were suppressed by the big ninja villages, would probably wisely discard this idea.

Are you kidding? Thanks to the instigation of the Daimyo and nobles of the three major countries, there are countless grievances and hatreds between the five major ninja villages and the small ninja villages. For example, important figures and many ninjas from the five major ninja villages died at the hands of the other ninjas. Occasionally, geniuses from the small ninja villages would be suppressed by the big ninja villages. There were also occasional attacks by the big ninja villages against the other's genius ninjas. In addition to the conflicts between various tasks, it can be said that the five major ninja villages and a bunch of small ninja villages are full of contradictions.

——Don’t you see, during the Fourth Ninja World War, more than ten years had passed since the Third Ninja World War, and the ninja coalition formed by the five major ninja villages had considerable conflicts. Not only could the Five Kage not hold the line, but the White Zetsu army had already rushed to the front, and I’m afraid that friction and conflict would occur within the ninja coalition formed by the five major ninja villages!

Now, it has only been a few years since the tragic Third Ninja World War. The Third Raikage of the Cloud Village died at the hands of the ninjas of the Iwagakure, and the war between the Konoha Village and the Cloud Village has only ended for a few months. Even the small ninja villages still remember the frustrating experience of being treated as a battlefield by the ninja armies of the big ninja villages during the Third Ninja World War, and they might even be eliminated if they were not careful.

Under such circumstances, how could we expect the three major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages to work together at the command of one person and attack the Ninja World Alliance that has not yet launched an offensive...

Well, you might as well hope that the daimyos and nobles of the three major countries and a group of small countries will not intrigue against each other and obediently gather all the funds and resources required by those ninja villages. Anyway, the probability of both is almost the same, and the probability of realization is extremely small.

After all, if the Ninja Alliance continues to launch aggressive attacks, the daimyos and nobles of the three major countries and a group of small countries who are under direct threat may be able to quickly put aside their past disputes and work together to fight against the Ninja Alliance to prevent their power and status from being deprived. Even if it is the three major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages, facing the Ninja Alliance's direct elimination of ninja villages and switching to a ninja army system, there will also be a large number of ninja village high-level officials who do not want to change in this way and stubbornly resist the attack of the Ninja Alliance.

But the key problem is that after the Ninja Alliance swallowed up the Wind Country and the Sand Village, it stopped attacking and stopped. This made it impossible for the three major countries and a group of small countries, as well as the three major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages to form a unified understanding.

In any case, the daimyos and nobles of various countries are not of one mind. Perhaps they can have a consistent idea in resisting the Ninja Alliance, but when it comes to their own vital interests, the daimyos and nobles of various countries adjacent to the Ninja Alliance, and the daimyos and nobles who have no borders with the Ninja Alliance, their thoughts and ideas will definitely not be the same as those of the daimyos and nobles in front of them. Those who do not feel too urgent can choose to join the united camp of various countries and ninja villages, but it is difficult to get them to pay out large sums of money and resources.

At the very least, the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, who are seeing the Ninja Alliance coming face to face with them, will grit their teeth and take out large sums of money and resources from their national treasury to provide for their own ninja villages. However, for the daimyo of the Land of Lightning and several small countries behind, it will be very difficult for them to use their own money and resources to help other countries defend their territory.

Similarly, Konoha Village and Iwagakure are more enthusiastic about deploying defenses on the borders of their own countries, but it is obviously too difficult for Kumogakure and other small ninja villages to travel thousands of miles to fight on the battlefield. Moreover, the daimyo of Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning are also worried that the Ninja Alliance, which controls the sea power, will use the same tactics as before to raid the Land of Wind, and tend to strengthen the vigilance on their own borders.

Especially since the Cloud Village had just ceased hostilities with the Konoha Village only a few months ago. Even if the Cloud Village was willing to send ninja troops to the Fire Country now, the Konoha Village, which could not directly command the Cloud Village ninja troops, was afraid that the Cloud Village ninja troops would enter the Fire Country and refuse to leave. This would be a headache for the Konoha Village, where most of the ninjas were now stationed at the border. Moreover, facing the Cloud Village, which had a domineering style of doing things in the past, no one in the Konoha Village dared to say that such a thing would no longer exist.

As for letting the Cloud Village be stationed in the Land of Earth, or letting the Iwagakure ninja army come to the Land of Fire, the former has never been considered at all, because the Fourth Raikage's father, the Third Raikage, died behind the Iwagakure ninja army. The latter has the same concerns. The relationship between Konoha Village and the Cloud Village is very tense, and the relationship with the Iwagakure is not much better. During the Third Ninja World War, many Konoha ninjas also died on the battlefield with the Iwagakure.

Those small ninja villages...

Well, including the Rain Village, those small ninja villages were once the targets of suppression by the five major ninja villages. For example, the demigod Salamander Hanzo of the Rain Village is very strong, and the Rain Ninjas of the Rain Village are actually not bad either, but those small ninja villages were always weak.

For example, Kakuzu, a bounty hunter who joined the Akatsuki organization less than two years ago, was originally a member of the small ninja village Takigakure. He was a strong man who had truly reached the level of Kage. However, the current presence of Takigakure is not much stronger than that of Kusagakure and Yugakure. There is also the Soragakure and other small ninja villages that were once destroyed by Konoha Village. You can see the true attitude of the five major ninja villages towards the small ninja villages, which is that they cannot threaten the major ninja villages.

Even the Rain Village, which once reached the ceiling of small ninja villages, and the demigod Salamander Hanzo even wiped out the Konoha Ninja Army that led the Three Ninja Commanders, could not dare to kill Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya after defeating the Three Ninjas of Konoha. He knew that if he really dared to do so, Konoha Village would definitely kill the Rain Village. Later, the Rain Village did not think about expansion but was blocked in the Rain Country. The reason was that they wanted to become the sixth big ninja village, and would definitely be surrounded and beaten by the five big ninja villages.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between the three major ninja villages and the smaller ninja villages can only be described as at odds with each other. Even if several small ninja villages are forced to join the united camp, it is a dream to expect them to fight against the Ninja World Alliance with their lives. Moreover, Konoha Village and Iwagakure are also not at ease with using the ninjas from the small ninja villages. After all, the combat power of the ninjas from the small ninja villages cannot be compared with the ninjas of the same level from the big ninja villages.

It's not that a small ninja village can't produce a strong ninja village, but when there is a lack of ninjutsu inheritance and auxiliary resources, even if a small ninja village has some ninjas with outstanding talents, they are not as good as the geniuses of the large ninja villages. Whether in terms of the number of ninjas or strength, the ninjas of the large ninja villages crush the ninjas of the small ninja villages.
