Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

Horned King has been subdued.

To be precise, Kakuzu was not won over by Jiang Ming's words or strength.

Instead, they were completely captivated by the other party's generosity.

Only then did he relent and become interested.

They decided to treat Jiang Ming as their "employer" for the foreseeable future.

To resolve those tricky battles for him and clear away all sorts of troublesome problems.

This is both a return for that enormous wealth and a basic obligation and responsibility he should fulfill after accepting these benefits.

This principle of "only considering interests, not feelings" perfectly aligns with Kakuzu's way of dealing with the world.

In the days to come, he should get along very well with Jiang Ming...

"That's it?"

Nagato, who witnessed Jiang Ming's entire process from recruiting Kakuzu to the end through the perspective of the Six Paths of Pain, took a deep breath.

This method of winning people's hearts without fighting felt strangely familiar.

"He really does look a lot like Yahiko..."

Successfully subduing Kakuzu without resorting to force...

He had only ever seen such courage and boldness in Yahiko.

No wonder Xiao Nan's attitude towards him has been getting better and better lately.

So, just like me, they were unknowingly captivated by the other person's personal charm...

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Suddenly, a series of rapid, distinct footsteps approached from afar.

They continued to approach the secret room in Amegakure Village where Jiang Ming, Nagato, and Konan had used to talk and hide.

"Someone's coming."

Konan, who was standing to the left of Nagato, activated the [God's Paper Person Technique] the moment she realized that the newcomer was not Jiang Ming.

A flurry of tiny, snow-like pieces of paper surged forth, enveloping her and Nagato in layers, their colors blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment of the secret chamber.

All traces and hints of the two of them have been concealed.

To avoid revealing any signs that there are other people active in this secret room besides Jiang Ming.

"Lord Jiang Ming, something terrible has happened! An anomaly has occurred in the direction of the northern mines of the Rain Kingdom; a huge meteorite has appeared, suspended in the sky!"

Pushing open the door to the secret room, what greeted Tsuchino Juzo's eyes was an empty, damp, and seemingly unchanged secret room.

"Eh..."

Looking at the empty secret room before him, Tsuchino Juzo's expression gradually changed from panic to terror.

Then things gradually calmed down.

He wanted to rationally analyze what he had encountered by combining what Jiang Ming had said to him the day before.

"Is the appearance of that meteorite related to you, Lord Jiang Ming...?"

Tsuchino Juzo's personality is a bit too straightforward.

However, his intelligence and intelligence analysis skills, as expected of a Jonin, are in no way inferior to anyone else's.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been entrusted with such an important task by Hanzo the Salamander.

Treat him as your most trusted right-hand man.

"Nagato seems to be someone I know."

Konan used the "God's Paper Technique" to make two small holes near her and Nagato's eyes.

This made it easier for the two of them to look out.

Knowing the general appearance of the visitor.

"They are indeed acquaintances."

Nagato, who had caught a glimpse of Tsuchino Juzo's appearance through the void before him, had a subtle expression.

He vaguely recalled controlling the Six Paths of Pain and instantly killing him and another Amegakure Jonin who wanted to save his world, Hanzo the Salamander.

The image shows them being grabbed by the neck and lifted up forcefully to demonstrate against Jiang Ming.

"It seems that he also agrees with Jiang Ming's path and is willing to follow him."

Let Amegakure be great again...

This statement, which sounds ridiculous, is actually being put into practice by a group of people.

Trying to turn this joke into reality.

To help Yu Yin escape poverty, backwardness, and the ridicule she faced.

"If it's him, he really could lead Amegakure to prosperity..."

In Xiao Nan's view, Jiang Ming was neither an idealist like Yahiko, who harbored a pure and almost fragile dream, nor a dreamer like Hanzo the Salamander, who only had ambition.

He is someone who puts the interests of Amegakure and even the entire Land of Rain first, regardless of whether his actions will cause greater chaos.

He is a person who only wants to make Amegakure and the entire Land of Rain great again under his leadership, who is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, has lofty ideals, and is full of righteousness.

If such a person were to appear in their world, she and Nagato would surely protect and nurture them with care, regarding them as the hope and savior of the entire Land of Rain towards a happy future.

"Speaking of which, Hanzo the Salamander in our world died way too late..."

Logically speaking, even though the two worlds are very different, the underlying nature of people's hearts should be largely the same.

Jiang Ming in this world is so outstanding; he knows how to gather intelligence and consider the overall situation.

Then Jiang Ming in my own world should also have similar personality traits.

Unfortunately, the salamander Hanzo in his own world was as stupid and clumsy as a pig.

He doesn't have the talent to discover people that Hanzo the Salamander in Jiang Ming's world does.

This is why Jiang Ming in his own world lost his life at the very beginning of the Second Shinobi World War.

This left him with no stage to showcase his talents.

"To be precise, it's because we were born too late."

Nagato held a different opinion regarding Konan's sentiments.

If he had possessed the Rinnegan and been born a few years earlier, he could have driven away the foreign ninjas who had long gathered in Amegakure before Hanzo the Salamander and established the Land of Rain.

So even if the five great nations of the ninja world today dare to use the Land of Rain as a battlefield for war.

I am absolutely confident that I can protect new-era talents like Jiang Ming.

This allowed him to survive this brutal war.

"It's not too late."

Xiao Nan's gaze softened, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"We helped Jiang Ming this time, so next time it's his turn to help us."

Although it was a bit of a pity that Jiang Ming in her own world died too early.

But they also have Jiang Ming, who has the ability to freely travel between parallel worlds, as a friend.

Given their current relationship, as long as it doesn't involve any fundamental issues...

So the most basic mutual benefit should still be fine.

"You're right, Xiao Nan."

Even though they lost Jiang Ming in their own world.

But they still have Jiang Ming from the current world as a friend.

The Jiang Ming in this world can completely replace the Jiang Ming who has been dead for many years in their world.

It brings hope and peace to Amegakure in both worlds and even to the entire Land of Rain.

"We must cherish this friendship."

Nagato is not completely obsessed at this stage.

I just want the world to feel pain, more or less.

It's far from developing to the point where Tsunade completely went berserk because of a single sentence from her, as depicted in the original work.

The amount of chakra gathered by the remaining Pain members, through the Deva Path Pain, was enough to destroy Konoha Village with the [Super Shinra Tensei].

"By the way, Nagato, you seem to be smiling more lately."

Since arriving in this world, I have taken a cautious look at Yahiko as a child from afar.

A smile would appear on Nagato's face from time to time.

The initial silence and indifference have completely disappeared.

It felt like I had come back to life.

This left Xiao Nan deeply impressed.
