At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 154 Cutting Through the Blood Mist, A New Ninja World
rainy night.

Lin Mo casually handed the little girl to Terumi Mei, then opened his umbrella.

Mei Terumi looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually, these villagers are innocent too. It was the Land of Water that turned them into this."

The essence of the Mist Concealment and Blood Mist policy was that it was launched by the Third Mizukage, who came from a commoner background, to consolidate his power.

Therefore, the first target he wanted to eliminate was the Hozuki clan, the bloodline limit family to which the Second Mizukage belonged.

Finally, the conflict between the Third Mizukage, represented by commoner ninjas, and the elite ninja (bloodline limit) clans led by the Hozuki clan, intensified.

Until the entire Water Kingdom descended into years of internal strife.

The flames of war spread throughout the country.

In the end, the Hozuki clan, a family of ninjas with bloodline limits, was defeated.

The Hozuki clan, originally the most prestigious clan in the Land of Water, was reduced to just Hozuki Suigetsu by the time the main Naruto storyline came out. The fate of the Hozuki clan was no different from that of the Uchiha clan.

History is always written by the victors.

The victor is always right.

The Hozuki clan, led by their bloodline limit ninjas, were naturally branded as the evil culprits who instigated the civil war, becoming the target of everyone's hatred in the Land of Water.

This is why Bai's mother had to live in anonymity, hide her abilities, and marry an ordinary person in order to survive.

The Kaguya clan, whose entire clan was subjected to a bloody purge, is a stark example.

"Innocent?" Lin Mo chuckled softly upon hearing Mei Terumi's words. "You mean they persecuted these people with bloodline limits, even if the target was just a little girl, not because they wanted to, but because someone forced them at knifepoint?"

Lin Mo naturally understood what Zhao Mei was trying to express through meditation.

Mei Terumi was trying to say that the Land of Water has been plagued by war for many years, resulting in the deaths of too many people. Under the propaganda and brainwashing of the Blood Mist Policy, these villagers have developed such extreme hatred for Bloodline Limit Users.

In Mei Terumi's eyes, these villagers were also powerless; they had been brainwashed.

Lin Mo's idea was equally simple.

Being unable to control their own situation is not an excuse; they brought it upon themselves—it was their own choice.

Those who are willing to believe in bloodline limits are demons, the culprits behind wars, not only because they are stupid, but also because they are willing to believe it.

Lin Mo looked at Terumi Mei and said with a smile, "Since you dislike this country so much, then go and change it."

"Go and end this blood mist with your own hands, Mei Terumi."

Despite being the village that most oppresses bloodline limits, it produced the only ninja in the ninja world to possess two bloodline limits.

Oh, the fickle nature of fate.

Led by Mei Terumi, Lin Mo met a group of ninjas with bloodline limits who had now gone underground, including Hozuki Mangetsu of the Hozuki clan.

Terumi meditates on how Lin Mo can lead them to overthrow the current Fourth Mizukage's rule.

For Lin Mo, Mei Terumi was completely unnecessary.

Because he alone is enough.

Due to constant internal strife, the overall strength of the Land of Water is significantly weaker than that of the Land of Lightning.

The two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura and Uta, are also weaker than Killer Bee and Yugito Nii.

Lin Mo conquered the Water Kingdom with almost no effort, incorporating it into the Great Yan Empire.

Then came the long process of demolition and reconstruction.

Lin Mo entrusted all of this to Terumi Mei.

Afterwards, he returned to the Great Yan Empire with two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki whose powers were sealed, as well as a large number of Kirigakure ninjutsu scrolls.

Before the entire ninja world could even process the news of Lin Mo single-handedly conquering the Land of Lightning, news broke that the Land of Water had surrendered to the Great Yan Empire. Of the original five great nations, only the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth remained.

These two countries did not hold out for long and also surrendered.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was a notable figure who, to demonstrate his sincerity in surrendering, directly offered up his son, Gaara, who was a Jinchūriki.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, recalled the fear of being dominated by the Uchiha clan after his battle with Lin Mo.

With the five major powers unified, the remaining smaller countries were even less competitive. The highest combat strength of each country was only that of elite Jonin, and they would surrender without a second thought when faced with the behemoth that was the Great Yan Empire.

Lin Mo used the most brutal method: to unify the ninja world by force.

There are two methods to maintain the rule of the ninja world.

The first was to amass a large harem.

Every village and every major family, following the rules established by Lin Mo, sent their direct descendants to the imperial palace of the Great Yan Empire.

From then on, a selection of imperial concubines would be held every three years.

In this way, the entire ninja world will become one family.

The second method involves using pills made from one's own blood to control key figures and thus remotely control the entire ninja world.

This is also an important reason why Lin Mo was able to unify the ninja world so quickly; he directly used his own blood to create a group of divine messengers with Kage-level strength.

Soon, only the Land of Rain, isolated from the outside world, remained on the entire ninja world map, standing there all alone.

The land of rain.

With the unification of the ninja world, the Akatsuki organization's path to survival was completely cut off.

The Akatsuki organization operates by instigating wars between small nations, then intervening to monopolize war contracts at low prices, escalating the scale of the wars, and subsequently dismantling the ninja systems of major powers (destroying their economies) to monopolize all wars.

Now that Lin Mo has unified the entire ninja world, there is no room left for war to survive.

As for Nagato's ultimate goal, it was to capture all the tailed beasts, then revive the Ten-Tails, and use the Ten-Tails as a weapon to intimidate the ninja world, achieving a peace where "a bag of rice has to be carried up several floors."

But now the ninja world is completely at peace.

Nagato was suddenly lost; he didn't know what the meaning of his existence was anymore.

Then that man approached him.

Even with the combined efforts of all Akatsuki members, they were unable to defeat their opponent.

In the Land of Rain, this battle was the most exhilarating one Lin Mo had fought since his awakening.

After all, the members of the Akatsuki organization are all at the Kage level.

Kakuzu, Sasori, and Orochimaru all possessed Kage-level strength (at this point, Kisame, Hidan, and Deidara had not yet joined Akatsuki), while Pain had even reached the entry-level of Super Kage.

After defeating the Akatsuki, those willing to become their dogs can take the pills; those unwilling can be killed directly.

Kakuzu, Sasori, Orochimaru, and the like—their life goals were all about pursuing immortality and eternity—so they all directly consumed the elixir; besides, they didn't have a choice.

Lin Mo took the Rinnegan that originally didn't belong to Nagato, and then gave him a healthy body again.

Using the Rinnegan he obtained from Nagato, Lin Mo used the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive his daughter in this world.

Orochimaru and Sasori were directly recruited into the research department of the Great Yan Empire, one to research human genes and the other to develop machinery.

Lin Mo plans to transplant Hashirama cells to awaken his own Rinnegan.

The first year of the Great Yan Empire.

Emperor Yan, Lin Mo, unified the ninja world and was later known as the First Emperor.
