Chapter nine hundred and ninety-eight one year later
"The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history. Is hatred really that important? It is simply incomprehensible..."
In the silent pure land space, the Sage of Six Paths looked through the glass mirror in front of him and observed the hustle and bustle in the ninja world with cold eyes. Suddenly, he whispered softly to himself, attracting the attention of Otsutsuki Hamura next to him.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
He cast his gaze in the direction of the glass mirror. With the help of this yin-yang escapement, the Six Paths brothers could check anything happening in the ninja world at any time. What Hamura saw now was a group of ninjas running in the wilderness.
The two leaders, one is a girl with short blond hair, a cold face and murderous eyes, the other is a young man in his twenties, with short red hair, an expressionless face, and a look in his left eye.
The ripples of reincarnation shine brightly.
"Black Zetsu's plan succeeded, Uzumaki Nagato is now throwing himself into a trap."
After a pause, he added calmly: "It also comes with a tailed beast."
Following his brother's gaze, Hamura first observed Uzumaki Nagato and the two Yuki people for a while, then looked at the white Zetsu with twinkling eyes in the team, and understood everything in an instant.
"Brother, can't you warn Bing?"
"If I could, I would have done that."
As if he was too lazy to look at the stupid behavior of Uzumaki Nagato and the others, and the tragic ending that was about to happen, Hagoromo waved his palm lightly, and the glass mirror like a display screen instantly turned into a black ball, floating again in the double air.
Under the legs.
"In the battle with Lei Luo, I was seriously injured. I can no longer interfere with the ninja world. It will not recover in a few years."
"And now, only one year has passed."
When he said these words, Hagoromo's expression was very calm, but Hamura, who knew his brother's character, was keenly aware of how bad the Sage of Six Paths was feeling at the moment.
"Oh, the ice is real, can't you take a breather?"
In order to comfort Hagoromo, Hamura thought for a while and complained, but this did not make Hagoromo's mood better, but made it worse, and his tone was almost frosty:
"To be honest, if I had a choice, I really don't want to cooperate with someone like Bing."
"That woman is not much different from Lei Luo in essence. Neither of them is a good person."
"But I have no choice."
The atmosphere was a little cold for a while. After Yuyi finished speaking, he remained silent and slowly closed his eyes, as if he no longer wanted to care about the rights and wrongs of the world.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Hamura helplessly spread his hands, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
The pure land space fell into silence again.
…
August 14th, year 48 of the Konoha calendar.
The weather in the Country of Fire is as sunny as ever, and the results of the Prime Minister election will be announced today. Countless citizens and ninjas are pouring into the capital and the Capitol Square one after another, just to witness the emergence of the new ruler.
The change of Prime Minister was originally supposed to be held every five years. However, because the Ninja World War lasted for a long time and the post-war work was extremely complicated, it was postponed for a year and held in 48 years.
When the Prime Minister takes office, it stands to reason that he should abide by this set of rules, but the MPs have already tacitly understood it, so Lei Luo was re-elected without any suspense, and he did not even attend the general election.
In this regard, many people who hurriedly came to the capital from other provinces were disappointed. After all, more than half of the people did not care too much about who became the prime minister. They wanted to see Mr. Prime Minister with their own eyes and see who...
The Kingdom of Fire, the true uncrowned king.
Unfortunately, Lei Luo disappointed them.
However, the reason for not attending was neither arrogance nor laziness. It was simply that there were more important things waiting for Lei Luo to deal with, but this was not something ordinary people could know.
In the vast forest on the outskirts of the capital, the midday sun slants downwards and hits the surface of the forest leaves, casting mottled light and shadow. The summer breeze blows by, adding a touch of warmth to your mood.
The fragrance of plants filled the tip of my nose, and my chest felt much more relaxed.
The cicadas chirped faintly, giving me a peaceful and peaceful feeling.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of day, this kind of weather, this kind of atmosphere is not very suitable for violent actions, let alone killings. It is a pity that people do not fulfill their wishes. Someone actively seeks death, so naturally someone has to...
Give them a ride.
Lei Luo was wearing a set of simple casual clothes, standing on a horizontal branch, putting his palms on his forehead, looking into the distance, as if he could clearly see through the layers of forest ocean...
Those enemies who came to die on their own initiative.
"How are you preparing?"
The voice was calm and calm, as if it was just a casual question.
"Well, no problem!"
"Fourth generation, you can rest assured!"
"There will never be any mistakes!"
Behind him, on the left and right, more than a dozen Konoha ninjas stood solemnly, silently surrounding Lei Luo. When they heard the questions, they gave answers one after another. The language was short, fast, and sure, and each one was full of confidence.
Lei Luo nodded leisurely, put down his hand, turned his gaze, and slowly scanned the young and energetic faces, and finally focused on the faces of Obito and Fugaku.
"At this point, the vote counting process has begun, right?"
Obito glanced at Fugaku secretly, but the latter didn't even look at him. He took a step forward and answered seriously:
"Fourth Generation Sir, to be precise, the vote counting session ended an hour ago."
"Now, it's almost time to announce it."
"Oh." There was a slight deviation in the expectation, Lei Luo didn't care much, they were just chatting, he withdrew his eyes, folded his arms and waited for a while, when there was movement around him, he opened his eyes.
"Lei Luo, the target distance has been shortened to five kilometers."
Then, little ripples appeared on the surface of the tree trunk, and then a White Zetsu's body slowly poked out, first reported to Lei Luo, and then glanced at the Konoha ninjas.
"Forbidden air barrier, are you ready?"
This White Jue was the messenger of Black Jue. The reason why He Jue didn't come was because he didn't want to expose his relationship with Lei Luo. After all, no one present could guarantee whether there was a federal spy.
Although, except for Obito and Fugaku, the ten ninjas are all elites selected through many tests. They have been practicing the art of forbidden air full-time for the past year, and there is no need to mention loyalty.
It's a pity that Hei Jue doesn't trust them very much.
"alright."
Nodding to Bai Jue, Lei Luo closed his eyes and began to use his perception ability. Sure enough, he found a dozen chakra light spots emerging in the distance, and one of them was Uzumaki Nagato.
"Action." With a wave of his big hand, everyone's expressions became serious, and they all ran forward in unison, and their figures disappeared in a whoosh. They would then surround the target from all directions and launch a forbidden air barrier.
Soon, only Lei Luo and Obito were left.
"Let's go too."
"Yes! Yondaime-sama!"
The transparent ripples rotated rapidly, and the forest became completely silent.
