The former site of the Whirlpool Country, now the site of the Hidden Rain Village.

The once prosperous village has now become a ruin, with no trace of its former prosperity.

Thanks to the popularization of reinforced concrete in recent years, the ruins on the site can vaguely reflect the original appearance of the building.

Nagato sat on a pile of stones, hunched over, as if he had aged ten years.

He held his cell phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Nagato didn't even notice that the cigarette between his fingers had burned to the butt.

He sat there in a daze, and all he saw was desolation.

Those large black squares are even more dazzling.

Nagato missed his spacious office.

Apart from being exploited by Xiaonan on weekdays, his only hobby was to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that was about ten meters long, admiring the sunset and feeling the slow passage of time.

At that moment, Nagato felt peaceful and content.

The Akatsuki headquarters building is not tall, but it can overlook the entire village.

Whenever he saw the villagers building houses brick by brick, Nagato felt extremely satisfied.

but! !

All of this is gone!!!

A few hours ago, many large black squares suddenly appeared in the sky above the village.

If he had not organized disaster drills for the villagers every day, their entire village would have been destroyed after this disaster.

When the villagers of Yuyin Village build houses, they basically build quick escape ladders in advance.

When something unusual happened in the air, all the villagers ran towards the open space outside at inhuman speed without any hesitation.

The only injured person sprained his ankle when he jumped out of the second-floor window.

Although it was a very happy thing that everyone survived, Nagato just couldn't be happy when he looked at the ruins around him.

tired.

This dog is faster than the world. Someone should destroy it sooner.

besides......

Where the hell did Uchiha Madara go?!

Why didn't the ninja world intervene when such a big thing happened? !

"hiss--"

The cigarette was completely burned out, and Nagato, who was burned, calmly threw the cigarette butt aside.

In the past, he would throw cigarette butts into the trash can, but now...

The whole village was turned into garbage.

Nagato sighed deeply, his fingers constantly refreshing the screen of his phone.

When the cube disaster occurred, the chakra network lost connection.

He originally wanted to see if anything happened elsewhere in the ninja world.

Ding-dong-

Suddenly, Nagato's phone rang with a message alert.

He couldn't wait to click on it, only to find that it was sent by his trouble-making junior brother Uzumaki Naruto.

[The God of Death never talks to you: Chief...is the base okay? ]

The moment he saw the news, Nagato fell into deathly silence.

He stared at the message in a daze for about ten minutes before he covered his face and took a deep breath with difficulty.

"what!!"

"What an egg!!"

The effect of deep breathing was still unable to suppress Nagato's inner frustration and anger, and he roared with a hoarse voice.

The voice contained various emotions such as unwillingness, doubt, and anger.

Nagato really wanted to grab his junior brother by the collar and ask him whether the current situation had anything to do with this kid again.

Konan, who was not far away, heard Nagato's roar and was worried that he was getting too obsessed with it, so she flew to him and asked him with concern.

"Nagato, are you okay?"

Nagato didn't reply. He continued to sit on the stone pile, staring blankly at his ruined village.

Konan felt like her man was about to break, she opened her arms and hugged Nagato, feeling extremely distressed.

"Nagato, it's okay."

"You should be more open-minded..."

"At least everyone survived this time, and we don't need you to revive them, right?"

"If the village is gone, we can rebuild it."

Nagato felt Konan's heartbeat and his emotions calmed down a little. Two minutes later, he opened his mouth.

"Naruto…Naruto sent me a message."

After he said that, he gestured for Xiaonan to look over, and then his tone suddenly turned cold.

“We organize…”

"Has anyone contacted Naruto and Sasuke privately?"

Nagato has his own set of theories.

According to his research these days, the reason why the ninja world is plagued by disasters is entirely because of Naruto and Sasuke.

It's not like these two guys are trying to destroy the world or anything like that.

The main thing is that the two of them seem to have a halo of disaster. Every time a member of the Akatsuki organization comes into contact with the two of them...

It will inevitably trigger a series of disasters.

Then, either the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Leaf Village will suffer, or the entire ninja world will suffer.

In short, it's very weird.

Nagato now strongly suspected that someone had secretly gone to look for the two Sons of Disaster.

"impossible?"

"Kakuzu is going to the Fire Country to meet with the Shinobi League."

"Scorpion and Deidara are also in the lab. They are still worried about the experimental materials."

"Hidan is staying in the library today as well."

Konan thought Nagato was overthinking it, so she told him every detail of everyone's whereabouts.

But with every word Nagato heard, his brows grew more serious.

"wrong."

"Kisame..."

"Where has Kisame been these days?"

Konan was stunned for a moment, and the memory of Kisame's report a few days ago came to his mind.

"He should be in the Kingdom of Soup recently."

Nagato: !!

Hearing this, Nagato jumped up from the pile of stones.

"what happened?"

Konan didn't understand why Nagato reacted so violently.

Nagato didn't reply, but he seemed to have some guesses in his mind. He lowered his head and looked for the latest news in the ninja world.

He vaguely remembered...

It seems like there was an explosion in the Kingdom of Hot Springs a few days ago? ?

rough!!

It must be this guy Kisame!!

Nagato pulled out his phone and quickly sent a message to his junior to confirm.

[Forging peace with pain: Ichigo, are you in the land of soup? 】

[The God of Death never talks to you: Hmm? ? How did you know, Chief? ]

Naruto on the other side was very surprised that his senior brother guessed his location, but Nagato was completely numb.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"I knew it!!"

"Damn it Kisame, have you forgotten what I told you to do?!"

Nagato was almost fainted by the idiot's anger. He covered his heart and sat down on the ground.

He was breathing heavily and felt like he was almost unable to breathe.

After a few seconds, perhaps because he was really uncomfortable, Nagato tremblingly took out a bottle of unopened medicine from his jacket pocket...

The medicine bottle clearly reads "Konoha's special antihypertensive medicine for Nara".

Nagato held the medicine bottle in his hand and did not open it for a long time, with an extremely conflicted look on his face.

Because he knew that if he opened the medicine himself...

Then I will be unable to live without this thing in the future.

The image of the Third and Second Hokage holding a whole bottle of Shohei Hyun flashed through Nagato's mind, and he subconsciously felt reluctant to take the blood pressure medication.

never mind......

Actually, it wasn't that hard...

Endure it for a while.

Nagato took a few deep breaths and slowly suppressed the boiling blood in his body.

Seeing this, Konan also grabbed Nagato's arm and shook her head at him.

Obviously, Konan didn't want to see Nagato eat this kind of thing either.

after all......

Nagato didn't even take the blue pill. She felt it would be too depressing if she took it.

"I understand."

Nagato sighed, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, and shakily put the medicine bottle back into his jacket pocket.

However, at this moment, a roar sounded again in the sky...

Nagato and Konan's pupils shrank at the same time.

This movement.......

Those black squares again?!

......

ps: The difficult November is finally over!!
