If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

"Have you guys come up with your mission? My mission is to collect as many rare materials as possible, so that we can use them to build a two-way transmission channel in the future!"

Kakashi spoke up.

"The Emperor asked me to pay more attention to myself in this world. If possible, we can exchange eyes and awaken the Eternal Kaleidoscope!"

Dai Tu looked excited.

"Also... attracting talented people."

Kakashi glanced at Nagato.

"My mission is to capture the tailed beast."

Nagato spoke with a serious expression.

"Nagato, according to the parallel world information provided by the Emperor, we may be in the territory of the Land of Fire, and Konoha Village is not far away."

"Although it is a parallel world, the two of us might be easily discovered because of our identities. You used to stay in the Hidden Rain Village, so no one in Konoha should know you."

"You are responsible for collecting intelligence now, and Dai Tu and I will go to collect materials for building the transmission channel."

Kakashi glanced at Nagato meaningfully.

"Are we going to act separately?"

Nagato also had the same intention.

"Come to this world? Cross over? Emperor? War? Communism?"

Jiraiya stood on the treetop and listened to the intermittent sounds in the distance, his pupils were shocked.

He was very clear about the spatial fluctuations that the three people had just descended upon. The psychic Myoboku Mountain Toad had that same feeling.

But the other party is from another world?

One is familiar, two are impressive. One is Kakashi. He is not wearing a forehead protector and has deep eyes. It is obvious that he is not the copy ninja Kakashi from Konoha!

The other one is Nagato, the disciple he recognized during the Second Ninja World War, whom he regarded as the child of prophecy!

The last one seems familiar, but unfortunately I can’t remember it.

"He seems to be Minato's apprentice, but didn't he die in the battle at Kannabi Bridge..."

Jiraiya looked at one of the three people and his eyes swept towards him, and his mind focused.

"Sharingan!"

But he was one of the three ninjas after all, and Jiraiya, who had hidden himself and prepared himself in advance, avoided Daitsuchi's casual glance.

Jiraiya's back was wet with sweat and he was breathing heavily.

"An Uchiha?"

He frowned.

Seeing that the three people had split into two groups, he gritted his teeth and created a shadow clone.

"Go with them both!"

His own target is Nagato!

Because among the three people, he could see that Nagato was the most hesitant and the most resistant to war!

Considering their past companionship, he believed that he was most familiar with Nagato!

But there are more important things at hand!

Jiraiya summoned a small toad and stuffed the information he had just collected into its mouth. After saying "give it to the Third Hokage", he chased in the direction Nagato left.

A town on the border of the Fire Country.

Nagato did not go to Konoha immediately, he wanted to understand this world better.

"You said that all ninjas are trash? He made you homeless, and three ninja wars broke out in just a few decades because of profit?"

In the tavern, Nagato was chatting with a drunk man.

"Isn't there anyone who can lead everyone to form a country and share the benefits?"

The man gave Nagato a disdainful look.

"You are indeed a young man. Without saying anything else, let me just say the simplest thing. You are from the Fire Nation. If you were the ruler, would you give more resources to other countries? Aren't you all just thinking about benefiting your own country?"

Nagato thought of Uchiha Senju, who treated everyone equally, whether they were from the Water Province or the Fire Province, he never favored any place.

For this reason, he often heard people complaining in school, saying that Uchiha Senju, as a person from the Land of Fire, why was he so caring towards people from other countries? He should reduce them to slavery or increase taxes to make things easier for them.

Many people privately cursed Uchiha Senju, saying that he was cruel to his compatriots and did not care about blood ties at all.

"Then each country can elect one person, and then distribute the resources evenly."

The people around laughed out loud when they heard this.

"Guess what the Five Kage do?"

"Don't you think the five Kage had a discussion before the war? Wasn't it because of the uneven distribution of benefits that they fought? I'm stronger than you, why should I listen to you?"

The people around him drank and laughed and ignored Nagato.

At this time, Nagato remembered what the Emperor said.

"The ninja village system is the cancer of the world!"

Looking at the person next to him, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Walking on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers, his mood became worse as he looked at the muddy and bumpy road.

You have to know that in the empire, not to mention the roads between provinces, even the roads between villages have been paved by earth-style ninjas.

Countless people in the empire want to return to the era when ninja villages and daimyo ruled the country together.

It was a romantic and beautiful era for them.

The consciousness and bond between people are like a raging fire that never goes out.

In that era, two people with no blood relationship could sacrifice for each other.

Neither the shadow nor the daimyo can cover the sky with one hand. They cooperate with each other, and the country is developing prosperously.

Everyone is free and happy, the air is sweet, and the whole country is no longer as oppressive as the empire, where everyone is under so much pressure that they collapse, and countless people are so introverted that they want to commit suicide.

He once fantasized that he was one of them.

As he now stood upon this land, he fell into deep self-doubt.

In the distance, countless people had sallow faces, each carrying a small bag, and their eyes were full of numbness towards life.

It looks like they are fleeing.

Who said this was a romantic and beautiful era?

Nagato wanted to ask what these people were doing, but they just glanced at him, who was neatly dressed and elegant, then frowned and quickened their pace.

There was no other way, he could only buy some food and give it to these people to get a response.

They are fleeing.

To the left of the River Kingdom is the Wind Kingdom, and to the right is the Fire Kingdom.

A sandstorm that only happens once in a decade swept in from the Kingdom of Wind, and the country has been in a period of severe drought all year round. Most of the people in the Kingdom of Rivers have not had any harvest for a whole year, and famine has come. They have no choice but to move to the Kingdom of Fire.

Nagato frowned at this, not understanding it.

Why is this river country so vulnerable?

When the sandstorm came, wasn't there any prophecy or weather ninja who could predict the disaster in advance?

Why didn't anyone stop the sandstorm the first time it appeared? How could something that could be easily solved by ten wind-style jonin be made so complicated?

What does perennial drought mean?

If there is a severe drought all year round, you can easily fill a river by sending out a thousand water-style ninjas!

If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you can just have hundreds of earth-style ninjas burrow underground day and night to easily get the groundwater out!

Why is it so complicated when it is such a simple matter? Why is nobody doing anything when tens of thousands of people are fleeing the country?

What are the leaders of the Kawakuni doing?

"Your leaders are not doing anything? You can ask the water ninjas to fill up the rivers, ask the earth ninjas to dig wells where you are, and ask the wind ninjas to blow away the sandstorms!"
