Senju Tobirama keenly noticed that the sound was not transmitted through the vibration of the air, but through the fluctuation of divine power.

Immediately afterwards, the intensity and density of the fluctuations increased wildly, and a god sitting on a golden dragon throne suddenly appeared in front of Senju Tobirama.

He boldly asked, "Are you His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven?"

The Emperor nodded slightly, and as the twelve jade pendants swayed gently, he said, "Yes."

Senju Tobirama still boldly asked: "You ignored my arrogance and generously transmitted divine power to me, teaching me to feel the power of divine power and faith. Why is that?"

The Emperor of Heaven replied: "This is the respect that God should have for humanity."

Senju Tobirama muttered in surprise: "Humanity? Respect?"

"In front of this humanity, God actually needs to be respected?"

The Emperor of Heaven said: "Gods are of course more noble than humans."

"Because God is a higher-level life form far superior to humans, God's view of a single person is like a human's view of an ant."

"A few days ago, the witch from the Land of Demons came to see me. She dared to question my power, so I taught her a little lesson."

"But humans are intelligent creatures. When countless people gather together to form a civilization, a humanitarian will that gathers the purest spirit of all people will be born."

"God must show sufficient respect to human will."

“Because God’s growth and expansion require the support of humanity.”

Senju Tobirama understood some things, but this also gave rise to more questions.

Especially the questions about himself, which puzzled him, so he asked: "But I am just a person, why do you respect me so much?"

The Emperor of Heaven replied: "Wisdom and courage are the core factors for the birth of humanity. Only heroes who possess both of these virtues can start the process of humanity."

"Even in the ninja world, the will of humanity cannot evolve into a specific life after it is born. It must be embodied in an individual to exercise power."

“The most suitable person is also a hero who possesses both wisdom and courage.”

"Senju Tobirama, you have human qualities, so I will naturally respect you and will not treat you like other humans."

Senju Tobirama listened carefully to the words of the Emperor of Heaven, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.

These words are of course reasons made up by Uchiha You, but they are expanded based on the sentence "The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage", and also refer to Thanos' evaluation of Tony Stark.

This is the ideological essence of the entire human society in the torrent of a great era, and it naturally has the power to touch people's hearts.

At least to Tobirama Senju, it sounded flawless. More importantly, it showed him a broad perspective and pattern that was difficult to understand but deeply shocking.

Feeling the macro perspective in the words of the gods, Senju Tobirama didn't know what to say for a moment.

He no longer had any doubt about His identity.

No, there are still some.

Senju Tobirama is still not reassured about God's purpose. A broad vision and a big picture are not necessarily a good thing, especially when one is not in the overall situation, it is very easy to become a victim.

A speck of dust from the times, falling on a person's head, is like a mountain that crushes him.

What exactly does this god who calls himself the Emperor of Heaven want?

The Emperor of Heaven saw the doubts of Tobirama Senju, so he explained: "I am a god who advocates equal exchange. I support you for my own reasons."

"As a god, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I also need human wisdom."

"So, I will provide you with divine power and the ability to sense divine power and the power of faith. Based on the principle of equal exchange, the results of your research on divine power must be given to me and my followers."

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama asked for confirmation: "The follower is... Uchiha Yu?"

The Emperor of Heaven did not hesitate at all: "Yes."

Senju Tobirama nodded and accepted the equal exchange.

"In that case, I agree."

"very good."

The Emperor of Heaven was obviously very satisfied, and there was a lot of joy in his words. He said, "Although it is very thin, you actually believe in me. This is a good start and will help me provide you with divine power."

Senju Tobirama was shocked: "Faith? How is that possible? How come I didn't know that I believed in you?"

The Emperor of Heaven said: "You have a misunderstanding of faith. From the literal meaning, you can understand that belief is the first step of faith."

"You know that I exist and believe in part of my truth. This is the beginning of faith."

"The attitude of firmly believing that God is always right without any logic or reason is not true faith. It is ignorant and fearless fanaticism."

Senju Tobirama murmured, "But the evil cults I saw in the Land of Hot Springs are all of this character..."

The Emperor of Heaven said calmly: "You said it yourself, it is an evil god, or even the product of people deceiving each other."

"Work hard, for yourself and for the people you care about."

"If you need anything, you can communicate directly with my follower and he will provide you with assistance."

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama immediately drove away all his wild thoughts, looked at Uchiha You beside him, and asked: "I have reached an agreement with the Emperor of Heaven, how should I proceed with my work?"

"Before that, we need a laboratory. We can't just carry out research work on this hillside."

"You're right. Of course it's impossible to do research in the open air."

Uchiha Yuu smiled and snapped his fingers.

The ground rose silently, and then walls rose from the ground, soon outlining the framework of a building.

The surrounding trees also rose from the ground, flew in the air and shook off their branches and leaves, which then turned into standard wooden boards, and then into doors, windows, tables and chairs, and even cabinets and furniture, etc., decorating the building with a new look.

The white sand by the water also rises into the air, melting as it flies over and combining into rich glass products.

Glass plates blocked the windows, and more experimental equipment such as glass bottles, beakers, test tubes, droppers, etc. were automatically placed in cabinets inside the room.

Soon, a spacious, bright and well-equipped experimental building appeared.

Senju Tobirama murmured, "This is really convenient. It's faster than my brother building a house."

“There’s still electricity!!”

Uchiha You smiled and said, "After all, it is a kingdom of God. As far as God understands, we can make our wishes come true."

The divine power was so magical that Senju Tobirama felt itchy.

Since he became the Second Hokage, the heavy administrative work consumed a lot of his time, especially during the last war, he had no time to conduct experiments at all.

This can be seen from the output of the Senju Tobirama forbidden techniques.

Before the establishment of Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju was at a disadvantage against his arch-enemy Uchiha Izuna, so he developed forbidden techniques one after another, all targeting the Uchiha family.

When Konoha Village was established and Hashirama Senju served as Hokage, Tobirama also developed many very magical forbidden techniques.

Such as: Flying Thunder God Technique, Multiplication of Explosive Talisman Technique...

Well, they are all aimed at the Uchiha clan’s Mangekyō Sharingan, or even the Eternal Eye.

But when he himself became Hokage, the development of forbidden techniques came to a complete halt.

It was not until he died and was resurrected by Uchiha Yu that he had the opportunity to carry out experimental work.

However, the experimental conditions in Uchiha Yu's home were extremely simple. Although Senju Tobirama completed the work efficiently, he himself was neither good nor bad and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Now, seeing such good conditions, the excitement deep in his heart could no longer be contained.

Senju Tobirama waved his hand to signal that Uchiha You should leave, as he wanted to concentrate on the big job.

Uchiha You smiled slightly and then disappeared.

But not only did it leave by itself, but even the spirit that it had allocated to the Emperor of Heaven was completely withdrawn from the Purple Mansion World.

Only in this way can the world's timeline be based on the focused Tobirama Senju.

This will break the upper limit of Uchiha Yu's concept of time.

…

At this moment, the ninjas of Konoha Village are advancing at full speed and are not far from the northwest border of the Wind Kingdom.

Behind them, the Sand Village ninjas who had discovered traces of the Konoha ninjas were also chasing at full speed, vowing to catch up with these thieves who stole the house.

Then kill them.

These two ninja teams supporting the Demon Country are respectively 2 and 3 days away from reaching the Demon Country.

In fact, the speed of the Konoha ninja was very fast, much faster than Nara Shikasuke estimated. After all, when there are enemies chasing from behind, people can always burst out more potential.

Compared to the smooth progress of these two families, the team from Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth was not going well.

The Land of Earth and the Land of Demons are actually neighboring countries, but unfortunately, the southwestern border of the vast Land of Earth is entirely covered with mountains, rivers, forests and swamps, and there is no road to go on at all.

Especially the mountains are not good ones. There are too many weathered mountains commonly known as Sushan, which can trigger landslides if you are not careful.

The environment in the southwest of the Land of Earth is so harsh that even ninjas have difficulty passing through.

It’s not that it’s impossible to pass, but it’s extremely time-consuming. It takes at least a month to go straight through.

Therefore, when the ninjas from the Iwagakure Village go to the Land of Demons, they usually take a detour through the Land of Rain.

When they arrived at the Land of Rain, a great war broke out between the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Iwa Village.

At the beginning, no one thought this was going to be a big war.

Because there was only a little blue-haired girl in the Hidden Rain Village, who led a hundred or so young ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village to confront thousands of ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village.

The cause of this standoff is simple.

A team of Iwagakure ninjas and a team of Sunagakure ninjas encountered each other, and then the two sides started fighting. The Iwagakure ninja team was defeated quite commonly.

After losing two teammates, the remaining two ninjas successfully retreated.

Both of them were ninjas who had been fighting on the battlefield for over a year, and they were already feeling depressed and manic.

Coupled with the hatred of losing the battle and their companions being killed, their murderous intent was uncontrollable.

So they rushed into a small village in the Land of Rain, and ran into the Hidden Rain Village ninjas who were patrolling there, and a battle broke out between the two sides.

As expected, the Iwagakure ninjas, who were obviously stronger and had greater combat experience, won the battle and killed all the patrolling Rain Village ninjas.

The young Rain Ninja fought to the death and not only delayed the battle to an hour, successfully covering the villagers' escape, but also injured the two Iwagakure Ninjas.

It can be said that it is an honor to lose.

The "angel" Konan who came to support urgently, successfully intercepted two Iwagakure ninjas who were unable to move, and killed them without hesitation in front of other Iwagakure ninjas who also came to support.

In the following battle, the Iwagakure ninjas experienced how miserable it felt to be crushed and slaughtered.

The wings of the "angel" covered the sky, and the paper of unknown material turned into sharp paper kunai and paper shurikens, covering the sky and the earth.

There is almost no skill involved, Xiaonan just crushes the opponent.

Under the cover of the violent storm, almost all the Iwagakure ninjas were injured and forced to defend with all their might, unable to move forward.

If they were not really good at earth-style ninjutsu, they would have probably been killed to pieces.

As a result, more distress signals were sent out, and eventually thousands of Yanyin ninjas came to support.

Xiao Nan was also frightened by so many enemies.

She was not confident of challenging so many Iwagakure ninjas, so she led her men back to the emptied village and confronted the Iwagakure ninjas.

The Iwagakure ninjas were also very surprised. No one could have imagined that this famous female ninja had such an exaggerated fighting ability.

Some of the young Iwagakure ninjas couldn't help but underestimate them when they saw that there was only one young female ninja on the opposite side, plus more than forty equally young and immature ninjas from the Rain Village.

Someone asked, "What are we waiting for? Why don't we rush over?"

His teammates immediately rebuked him: "Idiot, you're already on the battlefield, don't you know how to be cautious?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. With so many ninjas like us, we can overwhelm them in no time."

"You are such an idiot. Look at the marks on the ground. Think about the opponent's ninjutsu. If you lose the defensive ninjutsu, you will definitely die."

“Uh, this…”

"Or, are you going to be the first one?"

"No, no, we still need to be cautious."

However, there are indeed too few ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village. In addition, they are not as elite as the Tiger Unit. They do not have a high degree of discipline and an excellent tactical system. They are unable to balance the numerical advantage.

Soon, thousands of Rock Ninjas completely surrounded the small village, forcing the Rain Ninjas to disperse in four directions, which resulted in Konan only being able to take care of one side.

As a last resort, she could only spread her white paper wings and fly into the sky, which was the only way she could barely take care of the four directions.

However, her personal strength advantage has been weakened to the limit, and the contrast in strength between the two sides becomes even greater.

But Konan did not feel the slightest fear, because reinforcements from the Hidden Rain Village had already arrived.

Even though there were less than 600 young ninjas left in the Hidden Rain Village after the great purge, and only 200-odd ninjas available for support, among these ninjas were her closest friends.

The new head of the Hidden Rain Village, the owner of the Rinnegan, the disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, and recognized by him as "the chosen one who will determine the future fate of the ninja world", Nagato personally led the team to support him.

The advantage in numbers is indeed an absolute advantage, but this is only true when both sides are on the same level.

When one side's individual strength explodes and reaches a whole new level, the advantage in numbers no longer exists.

Even exaggerated numbers can translate into horrific results.

Nagato did not let the supporting ninjas follow him into the encirclement, but instead asked the Rain Ninjas to stay on the periphery and monitor the movements of the Iwagakure Ninjas from a distance.

Then he faced the encirclement of the Iwagakure ninjas, lowered his body slightly, and prepared to set off.

The young ninjas following Nagato were extremely surprised. Young people did not pay much attention to the constraints of hierarchy, so out of concern, someone asked:

"Nagato-sama, are you going to charge in alone?"

Nagato replied nonchalantly, "Yeah."

Looking at the hundreds of ninjas on the opposite side, most of whom were Chunins, and there were also quite a few Jonins with special forehead protectors, the young Rain Ninjas could no longer sit still.

"It's too dangerous for you to attack alone."

"That's right. It doesn't make sense for a leader to rush in front while his subordinates hide behind. We should follow behind you!"

"With our combined efforts, it is not impossible to defeat these hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas."

More Rain Ninjas stood up and asked to attack the enemy together with Nagato.

"Sir, we are not afraid of death, let us go together!"

"Yes, Lord Nagato, in order to protect the Rain Country, we are not afraid of death!"

"If anything happens to you, it will be worse than death for us."

Nagato turned around and faced the young Amegakure ninja, feeling very satisfied.

These were all young people he had selected from the Hidden Rain Village, whose passion had not yet cooled down. They had also secretly joined the "Akatsuki Organization" and become the new force in the Hidden Rain Village.

They are young, passionate, energetic and not afraid of sacrifice.

But Nagato didn't want to take them to die. They were all seeds, the seeds for the growth of Akatsuki.

Nagato smiled, stretched out his hands, and gently pressed down to stop his subordinates from expressing their opinions.

Then he said, "I brought you all out here to support our companions, not to let you die."

"Besides, you should believe that I am not a crazy idiot who wants to commit suicide."

It has to be said that Nagato took over the Hidden Rain Village too easily, especially in the process of killing the demigod Hanzo.

The understated crushing and the battle process without any special effects caused these young people to have a huge misunderstanding.

In their eyes, the legendary demigod Hanzo is just that, and Lord Nagato is indeed very powerful, but how can he defeat thousands of Iwagakure ninjas?

Finally, Nagato said softly: "Please believe in my strength."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped up.

Then...fly higher and higher.

The Hidden Rain Ninjas were stunned as they watched Nagato fly directly into the small village that was surrounded.

Flying, flying without the help of any props!

This is a miracle!

The Rain Ninjas all started shouting:

"Long live Lord Nagato!"

"Long live the Hidden Rain Village!"

"Hahaha, Nagato-sama, teach that Iwagakure bastard a lesson!"

The noisy Rain Ninjas were completely exposed, but the Iwagakure Ninjas didn't care about them at all. They all stared at the figure flying quickly in the sky.

Unlike the small Rain Village, the inheritance and education of the Iwagakure Village has a complete system, and even the Genin knows what flying represents.

Nagato flew over the small village easily, said hello to Konan who was flapping her wings, and then flew straight to the side where the Iwagakure ninja commander was.

After landing gently on the ground, Nagato stared at the Iwagakure ninja with his lavender Rinnegan.

"Iwagakure ninja, do you know the Rinnegan?"

boom--
