In the end, Nagato finally embarked on the path of calling himself a "God".
In the original history, Xiaonan had a lot of opinions about this, and now that she has seen the "real" God, her opinions are even stronger.
After hearing that Nagato called himself a god to the Rain Ninja, Konan hurried to find him.
"Nagato, you actually call yourself a 'god'. Do you really think you are so powerful that you can be compared with His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven?"
Nagato replied, "Konan, I'm not stupid, why would I be so arrogant?"
"The Heavenly Emperor you believe in can transform me with just one elixir. I don't think I can be compared to Him."
Konan was greatly relieved to hear Nagato's explanation, but she asked again: "Then why do you call yourself 'God'?"
Nagato explained: "Because I know that I can also master the power of God."
Xiaonan asked in astonishment: "God's power, what is that?"
Nagato said leisurely: "You are the one who told me about the power of God. It is the power of resurrection."
Xiaonan was shocked: "What? Resurrection!"
Nagato pointed at his own eyes and said affirmatively: "Yes, I found the true 'Resurrection Technique' in the eyes of Samsara. I can master the power of resurrection from the dead, so I should be considered a god."
"Of course I can't compare with the Emperor of Heaven, but apart from this one, is there any other god who can compare with me?"
“This, this…”
Xiaonan didn't know what to say at this moment.
Soon, she figured it out.
There is nothing wrong with Nagato calling himself a god. Just as he said, there is no other god in the world who can be compared with him.
As long as His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven doesn't mind, there is no problem at all for Nagato to call himself a god.
It can also greatly boost morale.
For example, now, after hearing that Lord Nagato is a god, the ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village feel that their self-confidence has increased greatly, and they are no longer worried about being blocked by the three major ninja villages.
Besides, Hanzo is known as a demigod, and it is very reasonable for Nagato, who killed him, to call himself a god.
So Konan stopped worrying about this matter and started to worry about Nagato's health.
She looked at Nagato and asked, "Nagato, you were able to handle more than a thousand people before, but this time the enemies are more than forty times more. I am not worried that you can't destroy them, but can your body withstand it?"
Nagato smiled and said, "Don't worry, Konan. I will be able to hold on."
"If it really doesn't work, don't we still have His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven?"
When Xiaonan heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, and nodded and said, "You are right. If there is really a problem with your body, I will find a way to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven for a reward."
After the general policy was decided, the two stopped discussing the war and turned the topic to how to build the Hidden Rain Village.
Factors such as rain prevention, leak prevention, moisture prevention, and flood discharge must be discussed repeatedly to ensure that no serious problems are left behind, which will lead to serious waste of manpower.
The young boys and girls gathered together, trying hard to hold up a sky for a crying country.
…
The Demon Country is indeed a remote place in the ninja world. When the major events in the Rain Country spread throughout the ninja world, Uchiha Yu, who was in the Demon Country, still knew nothing.
Nagato and Konan discuss the construction plan of the Hidden Rain Village, and work hard to set an example for the Rain Country.
Uchiha You is checking the research results of Senju Tobirama.
At this time, Tobirama Senju had been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation again, and returned to the human world from the Purple Mansion World in this way.
This time it is obvious that even though the Impure World Reincarnation used the highest level of sacrifice, Tobirama's condition still visibly worsened.
Perhaps it was because he was influenced by Uchiha Yu's spirit and divine power in the Purple Mansion World, or perhaps it was because he spent too long a perceptual time in the Purple Mansion World.
In short, the construction of Valhalla, which can theoretically provide a place for the souls to rest, is urgent.
After Senju Tobirama finished his introduction, he said to Uchiha Yuu: "My work is done, now it's up to you."
He pounded his waist and complained, "When I was developing the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, I never thought that I would have to leave the Pure Land for a long time."
"Who would have thought that the body of the Impure World Reincarnation would actually feel old due to the exhaustion of the soul, and even the waist would ache."
"You have to work quickly and finish building Valhalla as soon as possible so that I can have a good rest."
Uchiha You looked at the complicated design and was amazed.
There were really many things he couldn't understand, and some parts were even very confusing.
Senju Tobirama is truly worthy of being the number one expert in forbidden techniques in the ninja world.
Although the soul live broadcast accelerated the time of one day to more than six months, Tobirama Senju was able to complete the design of such a large divine power project from scratch in such a short time.
It's absolutely a miraculous speed.
Uchiha You admires Senju Tobirama's research ability very much, but he is not worried about his request to speed up the progress.
He held up a finger and said, “If you can design it in a day, I can build it in two days!”
Senju Tobirama was dumbfounded and blurted out: "This is impossible!"
The divine power sealing array he designed is a serious national-level project.
Although the land area of the Ghost Country is not too large, it is a medium-sized country with an area of 1,150 kilometers from east to west and 1,320 kilometers from north to south.
The sealing array is a huge structure with a diameter of 900 kilometers. The total length of the canals and gullies that serve as the framework of the sealing technique is as high as 20,000 kilometers.
Although Senju Tobirama referred to the topography of the Demon Country and tried his best to use natural rivers to reduce the amount of construction, the total number of ditches that needed to be excavated was still more than 6,000 kilometers.
Isn't it ridiculous that such a large project can be completed in just two days?
Uchiha You grinned and said, "Nidaime, do you want to make a bet?"
Senju Tobirama said "Pah" and said bitterly: "Do you think I'm the eldest brother?"
"I want to see how you are going to complete such a huge project."
Uchiha You smiled and said, "In fact, the answer is very simple. It's just that there is strength in numbers."
Senju Tobirama sneered: "Boy, do you know how difficult it is to mobilize the labor force? Considering the size of the Demon Country, it will take more than three days to mobilize the labor force."
"Besides, the population of the Ghost Country is not large. Even if you mobilize all of them, you won't be able to get enough manpower."
Uchiha You waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't mobilize the manpower of the Demon Country."
“I just need to mobilize myself.”
Uchiha Yuu did mobilize himself, and his solution to the labor shortage was ninjutsu.
In Uchiha Yu's cognition, technology is regarded as the primary productive force and is regarded as a truth, which is regarded as a guiding principle and cannot be shaken.
This truth is expressed in the ninja world as: Ninjutsu is the primary productive force.
Uchiha You brought Senju Tobirama and Miwa Masayo to a construction site where the mountains were steep, the trees were sparse, and the ground was covered with loose gravel.
Uchiha You couldn't help scratching his head and said with emotion: "This mountain can't hold water at all. When it rains, there will be floods, and when it doesn't rain, there will be droughts. No wonder the Land of Demons is so barren."
Senju Tobirama's symptoms of weakness became more and more obvious. He changed into loose clothes, hunched over with his hands folded, and said weakly, "Yes. So according to your request, a reservoir must be built here to accumulate rainwater and release it slowly. This will form a stable water flow as the basis for the operation of the national-level sealing formation."
At this point, Senju Tobirama asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of combining a giant sealing array with a water conservancy project?"
Uchiha You shook his head and did not answer the question.
There is no way to answer this question. In his mind, this is common sense.
The great history of China has proved that it must be a grand project that can unite people, but the basic water conservancy project is the first choice to produce lasting positive impact.
In particular, projects that integrate irrigation, disaster prevention and transportation will greatly improve the living standards of countless people after their completion and become their lifeblood.
Naturally, people will place their faith and hope on this continuous flow of water, which will continuously converge towards the center of the flow.
To be honest, the purity of this kind of faith is by no means something that can be achieved by faith in God.
The pure power of faith is most suitable for nourishing heroic spirits. It will not be distorted by the pollution of desires mixed in with faith, which will destroy the spirits without life foundation.
Seeing that Uchiha You was not going to explain, Senju Tobirama stopped asking and changed the subject: "The terrain here is a bit troublesome, but the real problem lies in the scale. I was shocked when I calculated the amount of construction required for a reservoir of sufficient scale."
"How are you going to complete these millions of earthworks and even more construction hours in this uninhabited place?"
Uchiha You smiled slightly and replied: "Of course it is through ninjutsu and senjutsu."
After saying this, he put his hands together, and powerful natural energy and chakra gushed out, gathering and merging outside his body to become powerful fairy chakra, and then returned to between his hands to outline the structure of the technique.
Immortal Technique: Earth Escape, Splitting the Earth and Opening the Mountain
Along with the roar of the mountain's collapse, the entire mountain underwent a dramatic change, and the broken and rough gravel was shaken like frying popcorn.
Beneath the gravel, the rocks quickly broke and sank, and while the overall height remained unchanged, extended water channels appeared underground.
These waterways meander and eventually converge in a gravel accumulation area at the foot of the mountain. Below this fan-shaped area is a huge water storage space.
According to calculations and observations, the space here is sufficient to store the annual precipitation from all nearby hills, and to supply sufficient flowing water to the planned canals, creating a continuous flow of water throughout the year.
Uchiha You's ninjutsu stunned Senju Tobirama. He knew that this guy once called himself Uchiha Hashirama, and he was also shocked when he saw him use Wood Release.
But at that time, Uchiha You was very restrained. He had not made up his mind to turn against the Third Hokage, and he was controlling the use of chakra at all times.
But now, Uchiha You has no scruples at all.
When he performed ninjutsu, he did it slowly, outputting chakra and natural energy without any scruples.
Although Uchiha You used the Earth Release Senjutsu, it felt so familiar to Senju Tobirama.
The feeling of chakra being so abundant and ninjutsu being so strong that one can change the terrain with just a flip of the hand.
The kind of style that doesn't use any skills when encountering an enemy, but just uses powerful magic to overcome the enemy.
Hey, this Uchiha is becoming more and more like Hashirama Senju.
It's disgusting just looking at it!
Senju Tobirama was depressed and couldn't help but criticize: "The underground project is finished, but what about the dam on the ground? There are still countless details to be repaired and the construction of automatic flood discharge channel facilities. Are you going to do all of them by yourself?"
Uchiha You chuckled and clapped his hands again.
Immortal Technique·Earth Escape·Ten Thousand Miles Earth Flow Wall
The ground at the foot of the mountain immediately rose up, and the towering cliff grew to a height of one hundred meters in one breath before it stopped shaking.
Then Uchiha You dissipated the remaining fairy chakra, and then a large amount of chakra and natural energy gushed out from his body again, and he put his hands together to perform fairy magic.
Immortal Technique: Water Escape: The Fall of the Sky River
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down on the nearby hills like a waterfall. Almost in the blink of an eye, a mountain torrent broke out.
But unlike in the past, due to the influence of the ditches under the gravel layer, a large amount of flood water was absorbed underground and flowed hidden among the gravel.
The flash flood didn't even get halfway across the river before it completely disappeared beneath the gravel, without a single splash of water left.
The flood was slowed down by layers of gravel, consuming most of its impact force and could no longer cause any disaster.
The undercurrent came to the gravel accumulation area and was also accumulated under the thick gravel layer. Although the spring water had begun to gush out in large quantities at the designated channel location below, no water could be seen in the reservoir.
With the protection of a thick gravel layer, water evaporation is greatly reduced, which is the reservoir's minimum reserve.
As the rainfall continued, the water gradually accumulated and the water surface began to submerge the gravel layer, eventually forming a large lake with a large area but extremely shallow water, with the Wanli Earth Flow Wall as a dam.
At this point, Uchiha You stopped using fairy techniques.
The clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Under the shining sun, a rainbow spanned between the lake and the mountain. The scenery was magnificent and refreshing.
Uchiha You said with emotion: "This is the correct way to use ninjutsu."
Senju Tobirama nodded silently. It was the first time he realized the great role of ninjutsu and senjutsu in construction. He was deeply shocked and filled with emotion.
Because Uchiha You kept mentioning words like the needs for civilization development in the requirements he gave him, he frequently communicated with the Emperor of Heaven controlled by Uchiha You during the course of his research.
Although this made Uchiha You very annoyed, he was forced to sort out his knowledge during the communication and complete his thinking on civilization.
Uchiha You vaguely felt that his future thinking needed to change.
Uchiha You still has such insights, and Senju Tobirama, who has been baptized by a higher level of civilization, has changed even more.
He couldn't help but start to reflect. Although his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, was extremely naive, what he did before his death seemed to be unsuccessful, otherwise Konoha Village would not have ended up in its current predicament.
The policies that we once thought were very successful now reveal to be full of loopholes when we look down from a higher perspective.
For example, the Uchiha clan was fully stuffed into the security department, making them stand opposite the entire Konoha Village.
This policy did restrict the development of the Uchiha clan, but it was also the source of internal rifts in Konoha Village, resulting in a major split among the ninja clan.
Because the Uchiha clans were portrayed as the common enemy within the village, other ninja clans had to form a group around Sarutobi Hiruzen to fight against the Uchiha clans.
This put Sarutobi Hiruzen in the position of Senju Hashirama. There was no longer any mechanism to check and balance him, and the future of Konoha Village was staked on Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal ability and character.
Hashirama Senju was selfless and was willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of the public. He turned the Senju clan into the foundation of Konoha Village's existence, which led to everything Konoha Village has today.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen is not like that. There is no problem with his personal character, but when it comes to interests, he puts his family first and puts the interests of Konoha Village second.
Therefore, some ninja clans that had high-level backing or those who knew how to protect themselves made huge profits and began to grow rapidly.
For example, the Sarutobi clan, the Utane-ne clan, the Mitomon clan, and even the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans.
After their interests were encroached upon, those ninja clans who had taken on the responsibility could not get any rewards, and gradually died out in the process of making huge contributions to Konoha Village.
For example, the Hatake clan, the Kurama clan, the Gekko clan, etc.
Represented by the Sarutobi clan, the number of people, power and strength of this ninja clan have surpassed the Uchiha clan, making it the number one powerful clan without being noticeable.
After a deeper understanding, Tobirama Senju had to admit that Konoha Village was showing signs of being torn apart again.
Konoha Village was lucky enough that the biggest bomb in the Security Department was not detonated.
When the Security Department was first established, Tobirama Senju lacked political experience. In order to increase the department's attractiveness to the Uchiha clan, he crammed too many functions into it.
In the eyes of the Konoha villagers, the functions of the Security Department are simply patrolling, clearing out street vendors, coordinating conflicts among villagers, and catching thieves.
But in fact, this department also has functions such as counter-espionage, public security, industrial and commercial management, lawmaking, and prison management. It also has completely independent personnel and financial powers. It is a village within a village in the absolute sense.
If used well, he can definitely compete with the Hokage, and it is not even impossible to turn the Hokage into an empty shell.
It is really lucky that the Uchiha clan has always been naive enough, confining themselves to the superficial functions of the Security Department and has never been able to effectively operate this powerful department.
Senju Tobirama felt that his greatest luck was that Uchiha You was born late enough. If he had really been born twenty years earlier, he would have replaced Uchiha Fugaku, which would have been unimaginable.
On the contrary, the seemingly naive first Hokage and the naive internal policies he implemented were actually the foundation for Konoha Village to survive to this day.
He began to regret his past policies.
At the same time, because of so many high-level and profound thoughts, Senju Tobirama deeply agreed with Uchiha Yu's remarks.
The completion of this reservoir, as long as a canal is added to connect to the original river channel, will turn the seasonal river into one that flows all year round.
Abundant water can provide stable irrigation, and then food output will be doubled, population growth, and economic prosperity will be a natural result.
