The armored vehicle pressed its tracks or wheels against the road, making a noisy sound.

There was so much rotted land everywhere that the surveyors on site could not imagine what kind of battles they had gone through to turn a country's territory into this.

After entering the Land of Rain, you can see the ruins, the broken earth, the disappearing mountain peaks, not even a drop of rain, and the celestial phenomena have begun to change abnormally.

About an hour later, the morning sun in the east had already brightened, emitting warm light and shining on this barren land.

"Old man."

Kazuhime and Sasuke slowly flew over from a distance.

However, the auras of the two of them are relatively weak, and their strength is probably about the same.

But seeing the two of them appear, Shiraishi's heart finally fell.

At first, I thought there would be a problem there. Now that the two of them are here, there is no need to say more about Nagato's fate.

Sitting on the simple medical field that had been set up, Shiraishi still had his head wrapped around a large number of bandages, and his clothes were in tatters. His feeling of weakness was even worse than that of Kazuki and Sasuke.

"Just come back."

Shiraishi nodded, and Hanabi beside him continued to wrap the bandage around him. The wound had healed, but the body's coordination was not enough, which may be related to excessive consumption of soul energy, so Hanabi's support was needed to stand up stably.

My whole body was sore, a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time.

Kazuhime and Sasuke landed.

Yiji glanced around, but didn't find her mother Liuli or another woman with white eyes.

Shiraishi seemed to be aware of Ichiki's doubts, so he said: "Their bodies are at Shadow Dancer's place, and their souls are preserved by me. After we go back, I will wait until I recover my chakra and stuff the souls back."

After all, this is somewhat different from the situation of death. The soul and body are both in the real world, and there is no need to perform reincarnation ninjutsu.

However, even if they recover, the two of them will still need some time to recuperate. Because they have also consumed a lot of soul energy, which will cause physical imbalance, and it may take a while to recover.

"Tsk, tsk, can a Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki make you miserable like this?"

Yi Ji was a little surprised, a little gloating and teasing, and seemed to be happy to see them in such a mess.

"Maybe."

Shiraishi is very tired and doesn't want to talk.

Although looking back on the battle, there were some doubts, such as the question of who the old man suddenly appeared, he didn't have a definite answer yet.

Then, he saw something in Yiji's right hand.

It was a black elastic ball, less than the size of a palm, and as soft as jelly or slime.

Shiraishi sensed a familiar aura from above, which seemed to be Akatsuki's 'black' man.

"What's this?"

Yiji glanced down and said, "This is the Black Zetsu."

"I know, why did you bring it out?"

Shiraishi was a little puzzled.

"In the end, we defeated Nagato with his help. Besides, I have some things of my own that I want to ask him. How about it, old man? Can you recover?"

Kazuki handed the black ball to Shiraishi and asked Shiraishi if there was any way to restore it.

Shiraishi reached out and took it, touched it carefully, it was very elastic, and he couldn't help but squeeze it, it felt good.

"Recovering is not a problem, but the consciousness in it is very weak and a bit incomplete. Even if you recover, you may not be the same guy. And there is no need for me to do it myself. There is the power of Yin and Yang Escape, you can

If you start in this direction, you can solve it on your own.”

With that said, he threw the black ball to Ichiki again.

"Yeah?"

Yiji stuffed the black ball into her ninja bag and shrugged, not paying much attention.

At this time, Sasuke looked at Hanabi beside Shiraishi, and suddenly said strangely: "I remember your name is Hanabi, and you are from the Hyuga clan. Why are you here? And..."

Before Shiraishi could answer, Kazuhime had already spoken: "You said Hanabi, she and I are half-sisters, although we have only met a few times over the years. However, even Aya doesn't know that she

Actually, I have a younger sister."

After Sasuke heard this, his eyes widened.

He glanced at Shiraishi again, this guy is really good at playing tricks, he even sent his biological daughter to the Hyuga clan family... Konoha is a sieve, right?

Hanabi smiled slightly at Sasuke and bowed slightly.

"Sasuke-senpai, long time no see. Let me formally introduce you, I am Hinata Hanabi."

Sasuke suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded.

The surname is Hinata. This formal introduction reminded Sasuke of something, but this was an internal matter of the Hyuga clan, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Speaking of which, where is Naruto? Did you kill him?"

Sasuke didn't see Naruto's figure, nor did he notice his chakra, which was a little strange.

Could it be said that there are no bones left?

Thinking of this, Sasuke suddenly felt a little lonely.

"To be prepared, I am the one who was 'let go'."

Shiraishi laughed softly and looked directly into Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke frowned, a little confused.

"Why, are you worried about your friend's safety?"

Shiraishi asked.

Sasuke also looked at Shiraishi, staring into his eyes without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, Shiraishi turned his gaze and said: "Don't worry, he is fine. His condition is considered to be the best among those on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain. He has been taken down by the custody troops and should be heading to the Kingdom of Ghosts now.

on the way.”

"You didn't kill him? After all, forcing you to this point is already a very terrible threat, right?"

Sasuke said this.

Shiraishi felt that Sasuke's words were very harsh and snorted softly.

"Since he has given up resistance, he is a prisoner. Not killing prisoners who give up their weapons is a rule I have personally set. If even I, the maker, do not abide by it, then who else will take the rules seriously?

Sasuke, our goal is to completely eliminate the enemy, turn the hesitant into neutrals, then turn the neutrals into friends, and finally turn the friends into our own. Relying solely on violence and terror as a deterrent will only

Let the enemies become more and more numerous."

With that said, Shiraishi broke away from Hanabi's support, turned around, picked up a white coat, casually put it on his body, and then slowly stepped forward.

"Let's go, I will listen to you slowly on the way back about the battle with Nagato. Moreover, the war of ninjas is over, but the war of the world has only just begun. It is not yet
