I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

To be fair, Li Mo wasn't arrogant enough to ignore the powerful figures from the five great ninja villages. Aside from Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed in the moon, the presence of the Sage of Six Paths' soul and his brother, hiding somewhere in the ninja world, and Madara Uchiha, who considered himself a master strategist, among other hidden bosses, made him wary. Even the Kage-level ninjas from other villages might possess some special methods to seal or kill him in a one-for-one exchange.

If you don't believe me, just look at Orochimaru, who thought he had everything under control. He almost got killed by the Reaper Death Seal!

If Li Mo really thought he was invincible and could run rampant in the Naruto world, he was very confident that the major ninja villages would definitely have their own trump cards, and then use the facts to show him the tragic consequences of being too arrogant.

Li Mo was naturally not that stupid. Knowing that the world of Naruto was very complex, he still acted recklessly. It was one thing to take advantage of the Third Shinobi World War to gain benefits, but it was another thing to go out and court death when his own strength and the forces under his command had not yet gained the upper hand. After saving Pakura, who used the Scorching Release technique, he felt that his gains this time were already very good. If he continued, he would easily attract the attention of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and others. It was better to choose to stop while he was ahead.

Of course, the main reason why Li Mo chose to stop while he was ahead, besides being wary of the powerful figures and hidden bosses of the five great ninja villages, was that he had already obtained most of the easy-to-get good stuff in the ninja world, and what remained were mostly remote or required a lot of effort.

For example, Li Mo remembered that there was a dragon vein in Loulan within the Land of Wind that could travel through parallel universes. However, the Land of Wind was currently focused on defending its internal defenses. Going to Loulan to find that so-called dragon vein would likely attract attention. If Li Mo were to kill the main force of the Sand Village and cause the destruction of the Land of Wind, the consequences would be unpredictable. He didn't want to test whether the Sand Village still had any trump cards left.

Similarly, in the Naruto storyline that Li Mo remembered, aside from unreliable or non-existent things like gourmet ninjas, Nadeshiko Village, and Raiga of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, things that interested Li Mo, such as the chakra armor and related technicians of the Land of Snow, the Byakugan lineage of the Moon, and the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, were either too far away to consider, or they might cause a lot of trouble if he took action, making Li Mo hesitate and feel that it was really not a good time to act.

—Leaving aside other matters, the Tailed Beasts are the nuclear weapons of each ninja village. During the Third Shinobi World War, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts were closely monitored by their respective villages. It was alright for Li Mo to collect some Tailed Beast chakra in Takigakure, but he couldn't say whether his attempts to collect it in the other five great ninja villages would be discovered by their reconnaissance methods. After all, the strange and unusual ninjutsu and bloodline limits in the ninja world might be able to detect Li Mo's actions. As for the Byakugan lineage on the moon, Li Mo felt that if he went there to make a move, he might just cause another thousand-year-old ghost to come back to life. That was specifically used to guard the seal of Kaguya Otsutsuki!

After considering all this, Li Mo clearly judged that if he were too greedy, the probability of being discovered would increase. Moreover, his current strength was estimated to have exceeded that of an ordinary Kage, but compared to the gods of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was still far behind. Li Mo, who still had a lot of room for improvement and had the White Mist Space cheat, was naturally not in a hurry and chose to act cautiously.

With Li Mo's mind made up, he took Yekura, who was using the Scorching Release technique, and Uzumaki Kina and her daughter to stay in the Land of Whirlpools for a while. Apart from taking a trip to the Land of Snow to obtain the still immature chakra armor technology and related researchers, he waited for a batch of personnel and supplies carefully transferred from the Land of Craftsmen. At the same time, he enjoyed himself with Yekura, who was using the Scorching Release technique, and guided her in developing her bloodline limit. He also taught Uzumaki Kina about medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques.

Even though Li Mo himself doesn't know [Burning Release], his unique chakra system, after integrating power using Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, means that his mastery of ninjutsu is no less than that of ordinary bloodline limits. For example, the power of the Fire Release that Li Mo is currently using has surprised even the Burning Release user, Ye Cang. She is getting along better with her man and leader and is seriously re-examining her bloodline limits.

Even the mother and daughter, Uzumaki Kina and Uzumaki Karin, have begun to relearn the sealing techniques passed down by the Uzumaki clan. Both of them are outstanding in Yang Release and are also learning medical ninjutsu, and they have made some progress very quickly.

You mean the ninja world is still fighting the Third Shinobi World War?

Sorry, Li Mo doesn't care about this situation at all. He currently lacks the strength to subdue the entire ninja world and the manpower to unify the various countries in the ninja world. So, for things he can't do, he just ignores them.

Anyway, Li Mo doesn't care how many ninjas from the five great ninja villages and other smaller ninja villages die. He's not the kind of self-righteous, brainwashed naiveté. The five great ninja villages will stop fighting when they can't continue. What he needs now is to return to the Rainbow Country with the people and resources he's gained. Only after his strength and influence have increased once again will he consider taking over the entire ninja world at a suitable time.

Half a month later, when hundreds of people and some supplies from the Kingdom of Craftsmen successfully arrived in the Kingdom of Whirlpools, Li Mo ordered the fleet that had been waiting nearby for several days to set sail, heading straight towards the Kingdom of Rainbows!

Chapter 69 Returning to the Rainbow Country

"My dear, is this the Rainbow Country?"

A month later, Shokuun Yekura followed Li Mo to the deck of the merchant ship's flagship. She leaned affectionately against her man, her beautiful eyes gazing curiously at the cheering sailors on the deck, and looking towards the Rainbow Country not far away as she spoke.

Compared to a little over a month ago, Scorching Release: Pakura's mental state and appearance have undergone tremendous changes. Although she is still wearing the same ninja outfit with a neck and backless design, her hair has turned a striking orange color. When her hair, tied in a ponytail, flutters in the wind, it gives people a special feeling of burning flames. The biggest change in Scorching Release: Pakura is that after transforming from a girl into a woman, in addition to becoming more beautiful and charming, she has gained a sense of reliance and a positive and upward attitude of re-establishing her own beliefs.

After all, Li Mo's efforts during this period were not in vain. In addition to becoming very close to Scorching Release user Yekura, he also instilled in her a series of ideas such as the need to change the ninja world, which strengthened Yekura's belief in fighting alongside Li Mo!

"That's right, look at that rainbow in the sky, it's the symbol of the Rainbow Country!"

Faced with Yekura's affectionate gesture, Li Mo naturally put his arm around the slender waist of his family members beside him, and spoke calmly to Uzumaki Kina and Uzumaki Karin, who had just come out. Then, looking at the Rainbow Country that he had spent so much effort building, he confidently said to them, "Similarly, our home for a long time to come will also be in this beautiful and prosperous Rainbow Country..."

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, Yekura, Uzumaki Kina, and Uzumaki Karin all looked up at the sky. Above the large island, which was at least dozens of nautical miles away, a very beautiful rainbow was clearly visible, which amazed everyone who saw it.

Of course, that's something that people who come to the Rainbow Country for the first time find strange. But once you've lived in the Rainbow Country for more than a month, you'll understand that this rich island with its spring-like climate all year round can witness the natural beauty of rainbows in the sky when the weather is good, either in the morning or at noon. This is also the origin of the name Rainbow Country. So naturally, you won't find it strange at all.

For Yagura, Uzumaki Kina, and Uzumaki Karin, who had never been to sea before and had only seen rivers or oceans, such natural beauty was truly rare. They all stared wide-eyed at the rainbow that appeared. Uzumaki Karin, who was still young, even exclaimed in admiration. Even when she lived in the Land of Grass with her mother, they were in a remote village and busy making a living. Such beautiful island scenery was something that the young girl longed for.

Scorching Release user Yekura and Uzumaki Kina were more concerned about Li Mo's statement about the "future home" in the Land of Rainbows. Scorching Release user Yekura, who was already very close to Li Mo, was naturally not worried. Uzumaki Kina, who had been working hard to study medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques recently, had some emotional fluctuations. However, thinking about the good treatment she and her daughter had received during this time, her worries disappeared, leaving only expectations for the future.

Seeing the reactions of Yekura and Uzumaki Kina, Li Mo knew that they were fine. Once they arrived in the Land of Rainbows and began to enjoy a better life, they would naturally become his people, and their beliefs would be strengthened.

……

When Li Mo and his group arrived at the Rainbow Country's dock, it was almost three hours later. As soon as Li Mo got off the ship, he had the officials who had been notified in advance to guide and direct the refugees on board. He, along with Yekura and her daughter Uzumaki Kina, headed directly towards the Rainbow Country's capital, Tenshukaku.

Along the way, Li Mo, who was riding in a carriage, didn't find it strange. However, Ye Cang and Uzumaki Kina, mother and daughter, were attracted by the bustling scene of the Rainbow Country. Although they had seen cities with larger populations, the port city of the Rainbow Country, with a population of nearly 100,000, was completely different. The traffic rules were very detailed, the buildings along the way had corresponding specifications, and even the police on duty were selected from the reserve ninja army.

It can be said that the first time Yekura and Uzumaki Kina witnessed the profession of ninjas who were not regular ninjas, compared to the various ninja villages that were more like mercenaries and used some kind of will to deceive people, the Rainbow Country had completely implemented the measures of nationalizing its armed forces. It was not about creating some kind of ninja village to establish a separate faction. The ninja army, with Li Mo as its loyalist, served as the military force of the entire Rainbow Country.

For example, the police in the Rainbow Country are all members of the Ninja Army system. Li Mo divided them into different categories such as field army, garrison and police according to his previous life. They still follow the rules of ninja in terms of strength, but in reality, they have already formed their own system!

"Darling, aren't you planning to establish a ninja village?"

When Yekura, who was using the Scorching Release technique, looked at the police officers she saw along the way and couldn't help but ask Li Mo for an answer, she was somewhat surprised that her man hadn't established a ninja village according to common sense, but instead adopted this integrated model.

"Of course we won't establish ninja villages; that would be entirely beneficial to a country!"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of Yekura and Uzumaki Kina, Li Mo pointed to the prosperous scene outside the carriage and naturally explained his understanding of ninja villages and countries, directly pointing out a major reason for the frequent wars between the ninja world's nations: "Do you really think that ninja villages won't have conflicts with the daimyo of their respective countries? Besides, most of the ninjas in ninja villages are trained as mercenaries; accustomed to living on the edge, they rarely have the desire to engage in ordinary professions..."

Indeed, in Li Mo's view, the relationship between ninja villages and countries is very special. It can be said that it is a superhuman being hired by an ordinary person. To say that the daimyo have no fear of his ninja village is a joke.

Even regarding the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire, the so-called Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Daimyo subtly mentioned the conflict between the two sides, such as the topic of "the Land of Fire only has one jewel" and the subsequent disbandment of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. It is clear that there must have been many disputes and conflicts hidden in this. According to the information collected by Li Mo, the Shinobi World War broke out only once every ten years or so, and it broke out three times in a row over several decades. The Daimyo played a role in instigating these conflicts.

After all, as Li Mo pointed out, the key issue is that the ninja villages are not actually self-sufficient. This is also the fault of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. He directly handed over key powers such as the village's finances to the daimyo, who then allocated funds to the ninja villages every year, resulting in the daimyo having considerable influence over them.

The crux of the matter is that while the daimyo have a certain influence over the ninja villages and possess a so-called righteous legitimacy, the ninja villages are the actual wielders of military power. Any daimyo who isn't stupid knows that they certainly can't allow the Kage, who controls military power, to be idle. The Shinobi World War initiated by the five great ninja villages was actually orchestrated behind the scenes by the tacit cooperation of the daimyo from various countries, in order to weaken the power of the major ninja villages as much as possible. Otherwise, with the major ninja villages suffering heavy casualties in several consecutive wars, they might very well reach a tacit ceasefire.

However, the daimyo of various countries will not be idle. Just look at the original plot of "Naruto" where the Hidden Cloud Village receives continuous funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind cuts funding due to the poor performance of the Hidden Sand Village. It is clear that the Hidden Sand Village, which does not have enough money to support too many ninjas, and the Hidden Cloud Village, which has money to expand its army, will eventually go to war. Moreover, their target will be the wealthy Land of Fire without exception.

Now, Li Mo, being a transmigrator, first saw through some hidden aspects of the Naruto world from economic and political perspectives before telling the Scorching Release user, Pakura, and Uzumaki Kina about this fact.

"Alright! Don't overthink it. Let's start with a welcome dinner and then begin the welcome banquet!"

Seeing the somewhat bewildered expressions on the faces of Yekura and Uzumaki Kina, Li Mo knew that they probably wouldn't understand his words for the time being. Just like how China in the modern world only started incorporating related content into political classes from a young age, many people in other countries didn't even know the ins and outs of it. He didn't force the two women to understand immediately and instead changed the subject to the upcoming welcoming banquet.

Li Mo changed the subject, and Yekura and Uzumaki Kina breathed a sigh of relief. They did not quite understand what Li Mo was saying, but now that the topic had been changed to the welcome banquet, even Uzumaki Karin became interested!

……

"Phew! Finally, it's all done. We can move on to the next phase of development!"

A few days later, in an undeveloped area on the side of the Rainbow Country, Li Mo looked at the half-finished space carrier from the Sky Ninja Village that had been transported with great difficulty, and said with great emotion, before instructing the personnel stationed there to carry out the testing procedures.

As one of Li Mo's important spoils of war during his trip to the ninja world, he might not care about the other things and heritage of the Sky Ninja Village. However, things like this half-finished Sky Mothership and the relevant information about the artificial Zero-Tails inside were definitely things that Li Mo valued. Therefore, he spent a lot of effort to capture even the newly appointed leader of the Sky Ninja Village, Shennong, and wiped out the remnants of the Sky Ninja Village.

According to the original Naruto storyline, the remnants of the Sky Village would have needed nearly twenty years to accumulate enough power to take revenge on Konoha by the time of Shippuden. They then launched an attack and were defeated, but they still demonstrated considerable strength.

Li Mo couldn't comment on who was right and who was wrong. He had finally managed to find the remnants of the Sky Ninja Village hidden within the territory of the Bird Country, and he directly wiped them out in one fell swoop. As for the unfinished artificial Zero-Tails data, Li Mo was already planning to try to build it using the not-so-good [Box of Bliss]. As for this half-finished Sky Mothership, Li Mo planned to use it as a mobile base, so naturally he was prepared to spend a lot of effort on its construction.

For such a large-scale project, Li Mo personally estimated the design drawings and reserved space for upgrades before arranging personnel to continue construction of the semi-finished space mothership with the controlled remnants of the Sky Ninja Village, such as Shennong. The Rainbow Country could provide a large amount of materials and equipment, unlike the Sky Ninja Village remnants who needed to start construction with great care.

When Li Mo returned to the capital of the Rainbow Country, after spending some more time intimate with Yekura, the Scorching Release user, and checking on Uzumaki Kina's progress in her sealing technique training, he found himself back in the White Mist Space as he rested with the beauty in his arms that night…

Chapter 70: Newcomers and Veterans in the White Mist Space?

"Huh? There are newcomers too?!"

When Li Mo from the Naruto world saw the familiar white mist space and sighed that he had come here again after several busy years, he suddenly heard a slightly unfamiliar voice. Then he turned around and saw several different figures.

At first glance, there were several different people in the white mist space. There was a young man named Li Mo who was obviously wearing a modern suit, another young man named Li Mo who was wearing an old-fashioned trench coat and clearly had a holster and dagger sheath, a Li Mo who was wearing old-fashioned clothes and clearly did not look human and was covered in scars, a Li Mo who was wearing a retired military uniform and looked heroic, and a Li Mo who was dressed in a unique style that resembled a fighter. There were a total of seven different Li Mo.

Among them, the one who looked like Li Mo, wearing short sleeves, long pants, and leather boots, was shouting at Li Mo from the Naruto world. You could even see the scabbard of a curved sword on his body, and his skin was a bronze color from being tanned by the sun.

What?

Newbie?

You're not referring to me, are you?!

Upon seeing those unfamiliar Li Mos, the Li Mo from the Naruto world was momentarily stunned. He wondered if it was because he hadn't entered the White Mist Space for several years that none of the Li Mos he had met before had come. Otherwise, why wouldn't the newcomers recognize him?

It should be noted that Li Mo from different worlds can share power and memories. The fact that these new Li Mo did not recognize him means that either they are newcomers who have just entered the White Mist Space, or the Li Mo from the different worlds that he had encountered were also absent. Based on his judgment, the former is the most likely.

After all, it's hard to say what Li Mo's style of doing is in his own world, but he would definitely not hide anything from his other world self when merging with the memories and power of his other world self in the White Mist Space. Since Li Mo from the Naruto world has not entered the White Mist Space for more than three years, Li Mo from other worlds may not have been absent for such a long time. Merging with newcomers will naturally involve sharing power and memories, so these Li Mos should recognize their Naruto world selves.

In less than a second, Li Mo from the Naruto world quickly analyzed the situation in his mind and immediately determined that those Li Mos were probably newcomers. He was lucky to encounter newcomers again when he entered the White Mist Space!

"Huh? So many new people? And me from the Naruto world too! You haven't been to this world for quite a while, we thought something had happened to you!"

As Li Mo from the Naruto world was feeling sentimental, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice. He looked up and saw Li Mo from the Black Reef world walking over from the White Mist Space. The voice was waving to his Naruto world self while looking at Li Mo and the seven newcomers from the Naruto world with some emotion, letting out a heartfelt sigh.

The reason is simple: Li Mo from the Black Reef World entered the White Mist Space twice during this period, and only met with the other old people once in a while. However, he did not discover himself and the newcomers from the Naruto World. Now, he did not expect that they would all be gathered together at once!

"Newcomers? Us?"

"The Naruto world? Is it Naruto?"

"I'm the One Piece world! Does this mean all three major shonen manga are together?!"...

Upon hearing Li Mo from the Black Lagoon world speak, the few new Li Mos who had originally seen Li Mo from the Naruto world and were about to come over to greet the "newcomer" suddenly wondered if they had misheard. They then realized what had happened and started making a commotion.

After all, the several new Li Mos entered the White Mist Space from their respective transmigrated worlds. They originally thought they were transmigrating alone, and then they saw several versions of themselves in the White Mist Space. They were somewhat wary and did not contact each other. However, they quickly confirmed through a few conversations that they were all their counterparts from other worlds. Then they saw the Li Mo from the Naruto world appear. Naturally, they thought another newcomer had arrived, and some of the more outgoing Li Mos even prepared to take the initiative to introduce him.

However, when Li Mo from the Black Lagoon world appeared, he greeted Li Mo from the Naruto world, which also made the newcomers realize that they were not pioneers but newcomers, and that there was even a version of themselves from the Naruto world among the veterans.

You're saying it's a lie?

Don't joke around! Several Li Mos did have this thought, but they immediately realized that this was not the world they had transmigrated to. Even though there was a lot of deceit and treachery in their own world, they wouldn't lie to themselves.

So, several Li Mos started making a fuss. Some were wondering why they were actually the newcomers. One Li Mo from another One Piece world greeted his counterpart from the Naruto world, and asked if there was another Li Mo from the Bleach world. Others wondered how many versions of themselves had traveled to other worlds before, and whether this white mist space was a meeting for all of them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the white mist space was very lively. The newcomers had not yet discovered that contact with each other could merge their powers and memories. Li Mo from the Naruto world and Li Mo from the Black Reef world looked at each other and then made their decisions.

"Let's share the power and memories first, then communicate with them directly!"

Seeing that the newcomers were all very energetic, Li Mo from the Naruto world exchanged a glance with his Black Reef world self. Without any hesitation, he reached out and patted his Black Reef world self, while also nodding to the newcomers and saying something.

"OK!"

Upon hearing his Naruto world self speak, Li Mo, dressed in a handmade casual suit and genuine leather shoes, smiled and nodded at the imposing Black Reef world. He then reached out and shook hands with his Naruto world self, exchanging their memories and powers before stepping towards the newcomer.

As old friends who had met several times before, Li Mo from the Naruto world and Li Mo from the Black Reef world quickly digested each other's memories. Li Mo from the Naruto world learned that he had missed two group meetings in the White Mist Space, and had missed more than ten occasional encounters with two or three people. However, no new people had appeared during this period, and the previous few Li Mos were rare exceptions.

Of course, the Li Mo from the Naruto world has now filled in the gaps in his memories and power. Just like his counterpart in the late Qing Dynasty TV series world, he has already broken through to the Grandmaster level and has built a team, etc. The Li Mo from the Pokémon world has also awakened the power of Aura and become the leader of a force. The other Li Mos have all made certain progress in their strength and researched extraordinary powers. The Li Mo from the Naruto world also amazed his counterpart from the Black Lagoon world, and his strength improvement was also very rapid.

Having exchanged power and memories with his counterpart in the Black Lagoon world, Li Mo from the Naruto world and Li Mo from the Black Lagoon world separated. He then patted or shook hands with several newcomers, and amidst their shock and elation, learned about the new worlds they came from, unable to help but exclaim in amazement:

"Tsk tsk, a hybrid world of Resident Evil, One Piece, DNF, the post-apocalyptic world of Hong Kong comics, Demon Slayer, a period drama from 'The Courtyard of Birds' and the Shanghai Bund movie series—the world of these seven newcomers is quite interesting!"

Chapter 71 Seven Newcomers

This time, the White Mist Space welcomed seven newcomers, the largest number of newcomers to date. The worlds they traveled to were all different, including high-energy worlds with gods and demons, and other parallel worlds that were similar to the modern world.

A bio-world that blends the universe of the Resident Evil film and game series!

When Li Mo from this bio-world woke up, he found himself in America. Before he could even use his long-unused English to communicate with his fellow travelers, he was mistaken for an illegal immigrant by the American police, arrested, and temporarily detained at the police station.

If that were all, Li Mo wouldn't have realized where he was immediately. But when he was roughly thrown into the police station by the American police, found Jill wearing trousers and a beret, and realized that the city he was in was called Raccoon City, and saw the police station's television showing the search situation in the mountains a few days ago, and the Umbrella Corporation's advertisement logo that was particularly conspicuous, he immediately realized that he had probably entered a hybrid world of Resident Evil movies and games. At that moment, a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

Are you kidding me? How could Li Mo not have heard of the infamous Resident Evil and Umbrella Corporation? If he continued to stay in this godforsaken place, Raccoon City, he would either be infected by the T-virus and turn into a zombie, or he might be hit by a small nuclear warhead. However, being locked up as an illegal immigrant and not even having passed the language barrier, his idea of ​​escaping from the police station's cell was probably just wishful thinking.

As a result, before Li Mo could come up with a suitable way to escape the trap, he entered the White Mist Space while being detained at the America Police Station and met up with several other Li Mos.
