Time pa.s.sed quickly, and nearly three years pa.s.sed in a flash.
The t.i.tle of the G.o.d of s.h.i.+n.o.bi gradually faded out of sight and became more like a legend beyond reach.
During these three years, Naito occasionally left the Rain Village, he stayed most of the time there, hanging out with Kus.h.i.+na.
Itās not because of the Kyuubi that the two didnāt want children, but because Naito felt that it wasnāt the right time.
Many things havenāt been resolved yet, the danger was still there. Moreover, Kus.h.i.+na didnāt complete her Sage Mode transformation; she only reached the fourth stage.
In three years, Naitoās Spiritual s.p.a.ce has almost absorbed the dragon veinsā Chakra completely. The remaining part will only take him one more month to be absorbed.
For these entire three years, Naito has felt and extreme pain related to his soul. For that, he spent most of his time relaxing.
He needed a lot of meditation and relaxation to carry on the task. His soul has been under pressure for the entire period; for that, he was so eager to complete the final transformation!
The spiritual and physical training is entirely different.
Naito didnāt understand this fully until later; thus, he needed to slow down the rate of the absorbing of the dragon veinsā Chakra. If he kept the same speed, he could completely absorb it in less than three years.
The changes in the Rain Village over the past three years were ma.s.sive.
After receiving the resources, they were granted from the Third s.h.i.+n.o.bi World War, and after the expansion, the Land of Rain flourished very quickly, and that prosperity also reached the Rain Village, which is the core of this country.
The Rain Village has established its own Academy Ninja, and also a variety of other systems.
However, Naito, The first Amekage, didnāt care about the development of the Rain Village.
The rain was falling.
At the highest point of the Rain Village, Naito stood there quietly, looking at the sky.
The rain fell around his sides, naturally avoiding his body as if these raindrops had life.
Naito often stood here to look at the sky, in fact, just by doing that, he could sense everything in the Village, and almost the entire world.
Naito, who had a Perfect Sage Mode, could easily communicate with the natural energy in the world, which grant him a strong perceptual ability. This perception is also a kind of realization.
With the continuous enhancement of Naitoās soul, the range of his Ultra Perception got bigger and reached a range of dozens of miles.
As long as Naito is using this skill, then within that range, even if an ant is crawling, or a person in the corner silently whispering, Naito could see it and hear him.
Suddenly, countless pieces of paper flew over and regrouped behind Naitoās back, then turned into Konanās figure.
āNaito-Sama.ā
āI Know.ā
Naito was looking at the sky, but he already knew about Konanās arrival, and he even knew why did she come.
After hearing his response, Konan stood there quietly behind Naito.
After a while, Naito turned around with a deep look in his eyes.
āHeās really good at hiding. It took us nearly three years to determine his location in the Land of Water.ā
Naito said exactly what Konan was gonna report to him.
After they failed in Konoha, and Obito got killed, Naito stopped pursuing the person responsible for this attack, but the Rain Village has been chasing the whereabouts of the Akatsuki, precisely Nagato.
Naito didnāt care about the Akatsuki, but Nagato dared to attack Kus.h.i.+na, and he needed to die.
For these three years, the Rain was getting stronger and stronger, and obviously, its intelligence system was by now powerful. Eventually, they found out some clues about the Akatsuki, and finally, Konan determined the location of their base in the Land of Water.
This wasnāt unexpected. The Land of Water, and the Land of fire, were separated by the sea. If they want to stay hidden in the dark, the Land of Water would be a compelling location, since they will be far away from the other major villages.
āAlthough we didnāt determine the exact location, butā¦ Iād better go to the Land of Fire.ā
Naitoās words made Konan feel astonished.
She didnāt get the exact location, but Naito has decided to go to the Land of Water in person?!
āNaito-Sama, we didnāt get the location yet, for you to go in person, isnāt it a littleā¦ā
āNah, its nothing, my practice is almost complete. I will get there and kick them out. Besides, no one can deal with him except for me. After all, he has the Rinnegan.ā
Naito said this calmly, then walked past Konanās side.
There was a slight doubt on Konanās expression, but she couldnāt help but shake her head. Since Nagato chose the wrong path, he needed to be stopped.
Besides, Konan believed in Naitoās philosophy. Compared to Yahiko, who wanted to change the world, Naito gave more importance to the people around him, he tried to protect them, and that made them closer.
ā¦ā¦.
On the vast, endless sea, Naito walked on the waves, with a strange white light glowing under his feet. The waves were extremely peacefull below him.
Naitoās speed was extremely fast, and even he didnāt know how far he has crossed.
Finally, when a piece of land appeared in front of him, Naitoās slowed down.
āThis is the Land of Water.ā
After setting foot on the land, Naito glanced at the endless sea behind him. The look in his eye felt deep as if the infinite sea couldnāt fill his eyes.
Turning to look at the Land of Water ahead, Naito left the coast and walked toward it.
The Land of Water is actually very small, of course, compared to the major lands. After the expansion of the Land of Rain, the area wasnāt much smaller than the Land of Water.
Because he didnāt know the exact location of the Akatsukiās base, Naito didnāt have any choice but to walk forward.
He seemed like he was looking for them, but he was actually waiting for his soulās final transformation.
The feeling he had, in fact, every man will end up experiencing more or less, whether it was at a moment of life and death, or major change, this transformation is the sublimation of the soul.
This is why a lot of people will get access to an exploding power that doesnāt belong to their level at the moment of crisis, and defeat their enemy when they were supposed to die.
This is due to their strong will. At the most critical moment, the one who has the strongest will can often erupt. The will is linked to the spirit, and the spirit is the key to the Chakra, which makes the will the essence of power.
Of course, these feelings are actually far less than what Naito was experiencing.
Naitoās transformation was far from being comparable to the short-lived strength burst at a moment of life and death situation.
The Land of Water wasnāt big. Judging by his speed, Naito could cross it in a short period. No matter where The Akatsukiās base is located, it was impossible for them to stay off Naitoās perception.
However, this was the most stupid way. Naitoās most important task currently is to relax; thus, the direction was clear in his mind.
