Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 150 Payne, I want to become a god!

Nagato, or Pein's six paths' sudden action, was an unexpected unexpected event for Hinata Yuzuru.

In the past period of time, the Akatsuki organization has been keeping a low profile and staying within the borders of the Rain Country. On the one hand, it has been trying to recruit new members to make up for the lack of combat power in the organization. On the other hand, due to the many sudden changes in the ninja world, Nagato and Konan were a little unsure for a while.

In a sense, Nagato and Hyuga Yuzuru can be said to be people with the same ideals and like-minded people. They both hope to bring true peace to the ninja world, and the paths they take are also very similar.

What Nagato hopes is to create a so-called 'god' by collecting tailed beasts, to dominate the world with fear and pain, just like a nuclear deterrent, and to become a dark cloud entrenched in the ninja world. As long as he creates If 'gods' still exist, the ninja world will be forced to live in peace forever.

The path taken by Hyuga Yuzuru is very similar, but compared to Nagato, he has higher demands for peace in this world.

World peace does not simply mean the end of war.

He also wants people to have something to eat and clothes to wear, so that he can travel around the world without any worries, and preferably have many novel games and entertainment methods to make his life more comfortable.

The method they adopted was the same: to become a god - but Nagato followed the path of the tailed beasts, while Hyuga Yuzuru relied on himself.
Um! That’s right, Hinata Yuzuru is able to reach this point all thanks to his own tireless efforts!

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Nagato to choose to remain inactive.

After all, the ninja world is currently undergoing drastic changes. From Nagato's perspective, the ever-changing ninja world has a vague appearance of the world he longs for.

Do you want to continue this plan? Do we still want to break the transforming ninja world?

What makes Nagato even more unpredictable is the current Hokage, Hyuga Yuzuru.

The strength that this guy showed in that moment was actually as good as his own Rinnegan. Those eyes were something that had never been seen in the ninja world. His ability was so weird that people had to brace themselves and think seriously. , whether the tailed beast can be collected is completed.

Now, the tailed beasts, the One-Tail and the Nine-Tail are all in Konoha Village.

The remaining tailed beasts in the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village are not soft persimmons that can be easily controlled.

More importantly, Akatsuki's plan failed and its purpose was exposed. Now, in the ninja world, Akatsuki has attracted enough attention. In the current situation of overall peace, Jinchūriki like Killer Bee and Yukito stay in the ninja village honestly and resolutely do not take risks.
Nagato was a little confused.

The implementation of the plan became increasingly difficult, and he gradually found it difficult to judge the structure of the ninja world. However, in the Rain Country, it was impossible not to be influenced by Konoha. A large number of trendy ideas, buildings, and business behaviors made the Rain Country change at a very fast speed.

Being in the middle of the situation and experiencing it all personally, how could he not be confused and touched?

So, Nagato made a decision.

He wants to go to Konoha to take a look.

Today, the Land of Fire has all become the territory of Konoha. He wants to go and see whether Konoha, which has always been promoting the will of fire and advocating peace, is really thriving as the fifth generation Hyuga Yuzuru said.

This time, Nagato still chose to use all six paths of Pain. The six paths cooperated with each other and their strength was unrivaled in the ninja world. It was simply a waste of talent for them to sneak into the vast territory of Konoha in a low-key manner to gather intelligence.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the true strength of Hinata Yuzuru.

But he never thought that, in fact, when he was discussing this matter with Konan, Hinata Yuzuru had already known his purpose in advance.

That day, he gathered a small group of ninjas in his own office to discuss countermeasures.

"I firmly object." Uchiha Itachi's voice was calm, but his expression was quite serious as he shook his head: "Konoha must not risk losing the Fifth Generation when making decisions."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and just said: "With my ability, even if there is a conflict, it is still no problem to leave if you want."

"Then there is no need for Lord Yuzuru to personally risk his life." Uchiha Itachi said, and took the initiative to suggest: "I can negotiate with the Six Paths of Pain on behalf of Lord Yuzuru."

Uchiha Izumi and Shisui also nodded in agreement. Uchiha Shisui said seriously: "Why don't you let me go? If the situation is not right, I can still try Kotoamatsukami."

"Is your other god ready to use?" Hyuga Yuzuru asked, Uchiha Shisui just said seriously with a confident expression: "It should be possible."

Uchiha Itachi exposed him mercilessly and said calmly: "The price is complete blindness? Shisui, there is no need."

Shisui's eye power can be said to be the most powerful in the history of the Uchiha clan, and Kotoamatsukami is a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques. It consumes a lot of energy to use. Before it becomes the Eternal Mangekyō, every time he uses it, it causes great harm to himself.

Coupled with the accumulated damage from using Susanoo to fight Kobetsu Amagami over the years, I'm afraid that if he uses the complete form of Kobetsu Amagami again, especially at this point in time, he will definitely become completely blind.

Uchiha Shisui frowned, but Uchiha Izumi said: "I can go too. Even if there is an accidental conflict, I can drag the other party between hells to avoid causing harm to Konoha."

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment, tapped his fingers on the desk, and finally insisted: "Let me go."

He waved his hand, refusing others to advise him, and smiled: "If you have to do everything, then what is the meaning of my existence as Hokage? Sitting in the office and watching TV?"

The group of people were silent for a moment, and finally it was Hyuga Kaoru who was accompanying them quietly who spoke up: "I believe in Master Yuzuru, he will not fail."

"Yes." Hinata Yuzuru smiled and nodded at her, and then made a decision: "I will personally monitor the actions of Pain's Six Paths. If there is a possibility of a conflict, I will take the opponent away from the city of Konoha."

With Flying Thunder God here, as long as we are well prepared, even if a conflict occurs, the scope of the conflict can be controlled within the city of Konoha.

It was also impossible for him to allow the other party to move around Konoha unscrupulously.

Hyuga Yuzuru made a decision and said: "Since he wants to see it, let him wander elsewhere now. If he wants to go to Xinjing, I will go out in advance to stop him."

Konoha Village, now renamed Shinkyo, is the most core and main city of Konoha and must not be lost.

Uchiha Shisui and Itachi couldn't say anything to stop them, so they could only insist: "But please Yuzuru-sama to act with us."

Hinata Yuzuru did not refuse.

But in my heart, I am somewhat confident.

Is Pain, who possesses the Rinnegan, his opponent?
After much thought, Hyuga Yuzuru felt that he had a better chance of winning.

At worst, all tactics can be changed to attacking the home base, and Nagato can be kicked off the wheelchair in front of Konan using Flying Thunder God.

No matter how hard you think, you can't lose.

Not afraid to set a flag, Hyuga Yuzuru dismissed the meeting, but Uchiha Itachi suddenly said before leaving: "Orochimaru's trace has been found. He has now established the Sound Village in the Land of Rice and has been secretly in contact with the Akatsuki organization.

We had suspected that the other party was Orochimaru during the investigation before - but the other party was always very cautious and never appeared in public. It was not until some time ago that we locked the identity of the other party through voice analysis and comparison while bugging the phone. "

Hinata Yuzuru raised his eyebrows and said, "I know that Orochimaru is a dangerous guy, don't be careless."

"clear."

Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "We will continue to monitor."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded and couldn't help laughing: "Orochimaru is certainly a genius ninja in the ninja world, but he probably couldn't have imagined that technology could achieve this level."

When he thought of Orochimaru using a Konoha-made cell phone to make a call, which was being eavesdropped on without his knowledge, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but laugh and shake his head - even someone as strong as Orochimaru seemed to have fallen behind the times over the years.

However, Hyuga Yuzuru is not careless - Orochimaru has an extremely strong research talent in biology. In Boruto, he even completed the incredible feat of "artificial human", and he seems to be as brilliant as before, and has vaguely become With the momentum of immortality.

He has been lurking in a low profile these years, and I wonder if this guy has any ideas of making another big news.

Hinata Yuzuru thought that leaving such a person outside would be both dangerous and a waste, so it would be better to take some time to capture him back.

As a sinner who has served for hundreds of years, he must have no objections.

It's just that he maintains contact with the Akatsuki organization, which is something to be wary of.

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a while, and finally decided to be patient and wait and see.

After dealing with Pain, we will go and see what Orochimaru is like.

Pain's actions in Konoha were low-key and slow.

As if he was worried about being discovered by Konoha, Pain was very patient in the intelligence investigation and observation along the way. He even never used the human way to read other people's memories. He simply used his own eyes to measure Konoha's current situation.

I looked around the outside of Konoha all the way from the border, and then gradually started to go deeper.

On January 21st, Pain arrived at Kamiyan City, which is closest to the current Konoha New Kyoto. In the city, he observed the living conditions of the Konoha people with his eyes as always, thinking about the meaning of peace, and finally , I made up my mind to go to Xinjing to see it.

If possible, Nagato even wanted to meet with the Fifth Hokage and have a good chat with him.

But Nagato never imagined that when he left Shangyan and moved towards Xinjing, when he was halfway there, his dream would come true.

Amidst the sky filled with snowflakes.

A black sedan was parked on the side of the road. A man wearing a divine robe and with white hair falling on his shoulders was sitting in the back seat, his arm resting on the door, his face supported by his palm, staring blankly at the news playing on the screen in the back seat. The other door was open, and Uchiha Itachi and Shisui were standing in front of the door, while Uchiha Izumi was standing next to the driver's seat, leaning against the door where Hyuga Yuzuru was.

Pain Six Paths stopped.

He was not surprised that the other party would find his traces. After all, even if he kept a low profile, it would be impossible for Payne's actions to be completely traceless. Even if he wanted to catch his traces and confirm his identity, it would still be very difficult. , but Nagato was also prepared.

But he never thought that the other party would actually dare to come out of the village to wait for him.
So confident!
The Fifth Hokage, Hinata Yuzuru.

Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, and Izumi were all wearing black windbreakers issued as uniforms by the Konoha ninjas. At this moment, they had their hands clasped lightly in front of them, looking like bodyguards.

"Come in, Pein, or rather, Nagato."

Hinata Yuzuru's voice came from the car seat, and Yahiko Demando from the Six Paths of Pain frowned. He looked at Uchiha Itachi and Shisui, who were staring at him with calm expressions, with interest.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two people are both owners of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It's incredible that Konoha now has so many outstanding ninjas.
The other five Pains stopped indifferently in the snow. Tendao walked forward alone and came to Uchiha Itachi and Shisui with a calm expression. The other party just looked at him with calm eyes for a moment, then slightly moved away.

Payne got into the back seat of the car.

Uchiha Itachi closed the car door casually.

Payne turned around and looked at the interior of the car. Finally, he reached out and gently explored the air outlet beside the car, and praised in a calm voice: "It's a nice car. This is what is called a car heater, right?" "

"Not bad, right? Even on a snowy day, the car is very warm." Hinata Yuzuru smiled, turned off the LCD TV on the back seat, turned his head, looked at Tendao with a black stick stuck in his face, looked at him carefully, and after a while, nodded slightly.

"As expected of the Samsara Eye, even if it's just a puppet, the eye power can be so abundant."

Hinata Yuzuru's words made Pain tilt his head slightly: "You seem to know me very well."

"Of course, but before we start chatting, what should I call you? Nagato? Yahiko, or Pein?"

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Pein was silent for a moment, as if the two words "Yahiko" made him no longer in a good mood, but in the end, he just whispered: "Pein."

Even though this is just an incarnation controlled by Nagato, Nagato has already gotten used to being called Pain when using this body.

"Yes." Hinata Yuzuru nodded to show that he understood, and then said easily: "As the fifth generation, especially the fifth generation who dealt with Danzo, it is not difficult to find information related to the Rain Country and the origin of the Akatsuki organization.

What's more, I have always seen things very comprehensively."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled, pointed at his deep blue eyes, and said: "I do know you very well, including your purpose, your motivation, and your experience."

It is not a good thing to be known thoroughly by others, especially when the guy in front of you may be your enemy.

But Pein's expression remained calm. He quietly looked into Hinata Yuzuru's eyes, and after a while, he said, "Really?"

"Of course, in a sense, I think we have the same ideals and the same ideas. That's why I decided to come and meet you in person. Even though you caused a lot of trouble to Konoha during the Chunin Exam."

Hinata Yuzuru said calmly.

The atmosphere on both sides became slightly tense.

Payne was silent for a moment, then whispered, "So?"

"You'd better let the Rain Country prepare for compensation. On this point, I will treat you the same as the Wind and Sand Country, and the Mist Country." Hinata Yuzuru said.

Pain remained silent and did not respond to this thought, but he could not help but marvel at the thoroughness of the other party's intelligence again. They even managed to find out that Akatsuki was now the de facto leader behind the Rain Country.

"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to Konoha this time?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked.

Pain looked at him quietly for a while, and his voice still didn't fluctuate much: "Do you really think that with people like you, the ninja world can achieve peace?"

"Are you talking about the various changes that have taken place in the ninja world and the current situation?" Hinata Yuzuru summarized his words first, and when Pein nodded slightly, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course it's not enough."

"The current calm is just brewing for a final big storm." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, as if he thought of something, he picked up the newspaper on the side and handed it to Payne: "Look at this. "

Upon hearing this, Payne looked in the direction he pointed, and what was written there was the situation of the Moon Kingdom.

The Moon Country is a small country close to the Frost Country. The two used to have quite serious territorial disputes. However, as the Frost Country disintegrated and was absorbed by the Thunder Country, the Kumogakure ninja transformed into the Thunder Hidden Ninja, and then became the Thunder Hidden Ninja. The country’s next goal.

In the Moon Kingdom today, the polarization is very obvious. On the one hand, the agents supported by the Thunder Kingdom have received a lot of assistance, including factories, soldiers, and money, and have gradually begun to gain the right to speak in the country.

On the other hand, there are the patriots who are loyal to the Kingdom of the Moon and are struggling to survive in the cracks. Because they firmly oppose the capital invasion of the Kingdom of Thunder and the agents supported by the Kingdom of Thunder, they cannot be found in the country. Work, poverty, and struggle to make ends meet.

Judging from the content in the news, the development of technology seems to have no effect on them at all - they still live in shabby thatched huts, cannot afford electric lights, cannot pay electricity bills, wear tattered clothes, eat all kinds of inedible "food", and cry for help to the reporters of Konoha.

"You said, although there is no war, can their days be considered peaceful?"

Hinata Yuzuru's words made Pein look away. In the picture in the newspaper, he saw a boy who looked very much like him when he was a child.

For a moment, I felt a little dazed.

He thought the ninja world had changed.

But now it seems that in some places, nothing has changed.

"Today's wars are still going on, and the oppression of small countries by big countries has not changed much, but..."

But Hyuga Yuzuru smiled and said: "Aren't they resisting? For true peace."

Only then did Payne realize the significance of the news.

The value of that news is not what happened in the Moon Kingdom, but the tragedy that happened in the Moon Kingdom was able to spread throughout the world through Konoha's news, and that those people, while facing all this, were still trying to find a way out instead of choosing to surrender and allow the Lightning Kingdom to annex the Moon Kingdom.

However, the identities of those people were not high-ranking officials or nobles, but just ordinary poor people.

"It's just that, there is still no change in the ninja world." Payne said with a stern expression.

He finally realized the current situation of the ninja world.

Even though the quality of life of most people has soared and it seems that the wind of peace has blown to every corner of the world, but behind the scenes, the major ninja countries are committing more bloodless invasions and persecutions against these small countries.

The Kingdom of Thunder has indeed grasped the essence - supporting agents, making huge amounts of money while controlling the discourse power of small countries, and finally silently turning those small countries into the appearance of the Kingdom of Thunder, disintegrating in the division. The Kingdom of Thunder then holds high the banner of justice and peace and goes out to save these refugees.

Without sacrificing a single soldier, the territory was expanded further.

"Then do you think that with your ideas, the ninja world can achieve true peace?" Hinata Yuzuru asked back.

He first said: "Let's talk about your purpose first."

"By collecting tailed beasts, you can become the strongest being in the world, and then use your strength to force all countries to stop invading small countries and end disputes."

After Hyuga Yuzuru finished speaking, Payne couldn't help but look at him sideways, and then nodded: "No? If my plan succeeds, the Kingdom of the Moon will no longer suffer all the suffering!"

"But the Kingdom of Thunder will still be prosperous - the economic development is destined to make the gap between them and the Kingdom of the Moon wider and wider. By then, will you force other ninja countries to help the Kingdom of the Moon?
Assuming you choose not to interfere, the result is that the people of the Moon Kingdom will still live in poverty. The gap in economy and technology determines that they still cannot live a good life. They have to worry about having three meals a day, and even Not enough to eat and not warm enough to wear.

And how can the Moon Kingdom become better?

How do you know that all the pro-Raikage faction in the Moon Country are "traitors"?
Who knows, maybe they are also thinking that as long as they have a good relationship with the Kingdom of Lightning and get help, they can also make the Kingdom of Moon revived and improve the quality of life of the people?"

Hinata Yuzuru's question made Pain fall into deep thought. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his previous thoughts seemed a little unrealistic.

If the ninja world had not changed at all, his ideas would not be entirely wrong. After all, at that time, the biggest problem and contradiction in the ninja world was the disputes and wars between ninja villages, which indirectly caused other small countries to suffer greatly and the people to live in misery.

And all this seemed to go on endlessly.

If Pain could really transform himself into a god and stop the war at that time, it might really become a heroic act that would benefit future generations. At the very least, those small countries would finally get a chance to breathe and develop themselves, and everyone would be able to positively improve their own lives first.

But the problem now is that the main contradiction in the ninja world is no longer the persecution caused by war, but the frequent problems caused by the gap in productivity and living standards.

Even if a god stands up and stops everything, small countries cannot immediately keep up with the level of big countries, and can only be forced to start taking sides. In terms of commerce, trade and industry, only by relying on the support and help of various countries can they reluctantly participate in the commercial activities of the ninja world. among.

If we really want to stop everything, we will eventually have to force all countries to disconnect - which will only lead to more serious polarization.

Maybe, big countries like Konoha and the Kingdom of Thunder have begun to explore the universe, while small countries like the Moon Kingdom are still worrying about food and clothing.

那咋办嘛!

Pain looked at Hinata Yuzuru.

Hinata Yuzuru said calmly: "So, my thoughts are always very realistic.

In this world, there is no absolute peace, only relative peace.

Even if you want to become a god, you can only maintain this relative peace for a longer time, and at the same time, avoid all kinds of inhuman tragedies from happening in the process.

Like right now"

Hinata Yuzuru turned on the car TV.

Payne followed his gaze and saw that the news station was broadcasting news at the moment.

"At 10:00 a.m. on January 21, Konoha's official spokesperson said that they strongly condemned the Lightning Country's improper business practices in the Moon Country, and decided to provide certain assistance and support to the Moon Country, and firmly opposed sabotage.
It is expected that before March, a total of 21 billion Konoha Yuan will be provided to the Kingdom of the Moon as a national loan. We hope that the Kingdom of Lightning can face up to the current relationship between the ninja world and other countries."

Payne watched the news carefully.

In fact, he has been living a similar life recently in the Land of Rain.

Since he couldn't walk anyway, Nagato set up a TV in front of him and watched all the news programs on time every day. Even if he missed it due to something, he would make sure to watch the recordings and replays to deepen his knowledge and understanding of the ninja world.

"Is life in the Moon Kingdom bad? Very bad. Today's productivity is still at the level of the old times, and the per capita income is less than half of that in the Sand Kingdom, not to mention the Fire Kingdom.

But will it get better after that?
Will.

Once the industrial system is built and the agricultural level is improved, they will be able to get out of their original difficulties and the people will get the most basic food and clothing.

As for whether they can live a better life, whether they can live and work in peace and contentment like the people of Konoha, and have better living conditions.
It's up to them.

After all, isn't everything Konoha has today the result of everyone's hard work together?
If they really have talented people who can change and improve their country little by little, then I think maybe one day they will be able to achieve the same living standard as the people of Konoha today.

Of course, by then, maybe our lives will have changed for the better.

but.
Not enough? "

Hinata Yuzuru said.

Payne was speechless.

But in the end, he still asked a final question: "But the war will happen again."

"Yes." Hinata Yuzuru turned off the TV.

He turned his head and lowered the car window slightly. The cold wind outside the window was biting and snowflakes were dancing.

Hinata Yuzuru said in a deep voice: "As long as there is human existence, desire will not disappear, and as long as there is desire, there will be endless competition and hatred between each other.

Even within Konoha, there are still people who will have conflicts over a salary difference of a dozen yuan, and there are still people who will fight because their neighbors have occupied an extra piece of their land.

What's more, between countries?
The world is so big, and there are so many resources. If there are more people, there will be fewer people. When some people's desires are satisfied, there will inevitably be people who are full of jealousy because their desires cannot be satisfied, and the final outcome is to be eliminated by history. It happened again countless times - war.

Only when enough people die, and die miserably enough, the ambitious are satisfied or sent to hell, countless tragedies are repeated, and resources are redistributed, will a brief peace be restored.

However, after this peace lasts for a period of time, it will return to its original state, driven by ambition and desire, over and over again without end.

so.
It's not enough to do this. "

Hinata Yuzuru looked at the snowflakes for a long time before turning back to look at Pein and smiling: "So, Pein, I want to become a god."

Payne looked at him and couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Huh?"

“I will pacify this ninja world and make everyone understand that as long as I exist in this world, desire must have an end and justice will be served.

And as long as everyone can do things according to the rules under the new rules.

Relative peace will last forever.

Competition is inevitable, but there must be limits, and the bottom line is that war cannot happen." Hinata Yuzuru's words made Pein look at him deeply for a long time.

Finally, Payne opened the car door, his voice calm with a hint of smile.

"Want to become a god?"

"Come on, Fifth Generation, let me see what you call the power of God."

He opened the car door, took a step out, and turned to look back.

The reincarnation eye in the eyes.

The fighting spirit is raging.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled, opened the car door, and took a step forward.

"as you wish."
