Coming to this rainy country once again, Nagato, whom he was originally afraid of, is now dead, so Mizuki naturally no longer has the cautious attitude he had when he came here secretly before.

Although this small country is a bit far from Konoha Village, in front of Mizuki's space-time ninjutsu, it is just a "neighbor" with a slightly higher chakra consumption.

Although Shuimu had been here before, he had never been to such a deep place.

At that time, the ever-present threat of Yu Hu's Freedom Technique made him hide briefly every time he came.

Because of this, every time we conducted reconnaissance, we did not obtain any useful information. After a few times, we stopped doing this useless work.

The rain was still falling, but the faint chakra fluctuations were no longer mixed in the rain.

And because the weather was so cold, one or two small ice crystals occasionally fell in the rain.

In such weather, with the occasional cold wind, it is really uncomfortable. Although it is not snowing, it is much colder than the Fire Kingdom with heavy snow all over the sky, and even more unbearable than the Earth Kingdom and Water Trap Kingdom further north.

The population of this country is not very large, and in such a harsh environment, even fewer people go out.

We didn't even see any of the sporadic ninja organizations that we had expected to encounter.

The expected chaotic scene did not occur as much as expected, and this may be the last gift of the extreme weather conditions in the Rain Country to this country.

In this still modern country with an unexpectedly large number of tall and giant buildings, Shuimu was surprised to find that there were still many decorations in the shape of angels with wings on their backs on the streets.

"The faith in the angel that Xiaonan pretends to be still exists?"

Mizuki was initially puzzled as to why the Rain Country did not fall into hysterical madness and chaos, but after careful observation, he finally understood.

Nagato's rule over this country is based on strength and maintained through high pressure using faith as a means.

Although Nagato's overwhelming power no longer exists, faith still maintains the stability of the country to the greatest extent possible. The vast majority of people still have firm faith in the gods and angels who bring them a peaceful and tranquil life.

Although Nagato, who claims to be a god, has not appeared for a long time, he rarely appears when he exercises the authority of God in the image of Pain Tendou. Mystery is also an illusion that can make people feel awe.

"Perhaps, most people in this country don't even know that there is no ruler here anymore."

Although there are some people who are constantly testing the bottom line of order, they still dare not be too presumptuous due to their lack of strength.

This social phenomenon that surprised Mizuki so much, perhaps a small wave could completely destroy this dream castle on the beach, but at least for now, the ruling system established by Nagato was still playing a role.

After nearly three days of investigation, Shuimu had to confirm a surprising fact - if there was no interference from external forces, the country's illusory stability might continue for a while, and some internal disharmonious factors would not have the possibility of challenging the entire national order for the time being.

"Maybe, this is a good opportunity!"

Mizuki observed this fragile country while thinking about where he could take advantage of it.

Nagato is dead, Konan is not here anymore, and she probably doesn't want to return to this sad place.

But God and the angels are still there.

The power of a country is at Mizuki's fingertips.

Maybe it is a little difficult for others, but with Shuimu's strength and the various means he has accumulated, it should not be impossible to achieve this.

For Mizuki, the leader of the impoverished Rain Country is not even as powerful and influential as Mizuki's current position - deputy director of the Konoha Village Security Department, and he may even become the Sixth Hokage.

Controlling the Rain Country would inevitably attract a large group of people's attention. If it were exposed, it would definitely cause criticism.

It feels like a small loss for a big picture.

If there are not enough benefits, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to waste energy and take risks on something that is not worth the cost.

There is simply not much in the Rain Country that Mizuki would like to see.

What does this country have in abundance? Besides the disgustingly abundant rain, it also has a fairly large number of civilians.

"Is this large population of people useful to me?"

Standing on top of the tallest building in the Rain Kingdom, Mizuki looked down at the rain-soaked country below in the heavy rain.

"These things are useless and a burden to others, but they are really useful to me!"

It is really difficult to manage a country's food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, sickness and death.

If Shuimu were asked to start farming from scratch, he simply doesn't have the energy or interest to do so.

But this country, which can steal the highest power at any time, is perfect for Shuimu.

Shuimu has no desire for the secular power of the Rain Kingdom. All he needs is the devout faith of the people of this country.

This kind of illusory power, apart from non-human life forms like evil gods whose existence is based on human hope, is the only visible and tangible power in the ninja world, which is the nine tailed beasts derived from the Ten-Tails.

Mizuki naturally didn't want to create a tailed beast. The chakra samples of the nine tailed beasts were already in hand, so there was no need to do such unnecessary things.

What Shuimu needs is to verify from a more fundamental point whether human will can really create miracles.

Ever since Shuimu got the fragments of the Outer Path Golem, he has been using it as the main seal of Xishui Township, or even as the last resort to restart the world, but he has not been able to find a good opportunity to prepare for it.

With just Shuimu and several physical clones, even if they continue to collect the power of human will, it is unknown how many years it will take to produce results.

It is unknown how many years it took for the seeds of the sacred tree to bear fruit.

Shuimu doesn't need something as powerful as the fruit of the sacred tree, he just wants to simulate a tool with similar authority.

Mizuki, who possesses the illusion of playing the sleeping town, can theoretically change the entire world, but how to do it has always been a problem.

Now, the dead Nagato has given Mizuki a piece of excellent experimental field out of thin air. How could Mizuki not be overjoyed?

"I didn't expect that such a routine mission would yield such a reward."

At the same time, Mizuki also had some guesses as to why Nagato would go to such great lengths to deify himself:

Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan and controls the Gaiden Demon Statue, may be driven by instinct and unconsciously doing things that are beneficial to the Gaiden Demon Statue, the Ten-Tails, and himself!
