At this moment, the scenes in his previous memory quickly reappeared in his mind, and Jiraiya quickly threw the monocle out!
"problem occurs?"
Kai on the side was ready to activate the Eight Gate Dunjia, but until now he still didn't know what happened.
When he was sleeping, he instinctively felt that Jiraiya's chakra had become disordered. After waking up, he cautiously called Jiraiya, but when the first call did not wake him up, he noticed something abnormal.
Being in an unknown city, it was impossible for Jiraiya to sleep so deeply, so Kai made a quick decision and took action to wake Jiraiya up.
But after waking up, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and the reason turned out to be just...
Kai followed Jiraiya's line of sight and saw the monocle he had thrown on the ground.
Just an ordinary monocle? !
"problem occurs… "
Jiraiya got up in an instant, and he immediately shouted, "Let's go! We must leave Utopia as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Kai nodded, and his heart sank. What on earth, what happened, made Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, so panicked
Even when he knew that he had opened the Eight Door Dunjia Formation, he didn't even have time to tell what he had gone through and wanted to flee? !
"Don't go through the door, just jump out of the window."
Jiraiya took a deep breath and got rid of the previous shadow. He put on his coat and looked at the heavy rain that was still pouring outside. The uneasiness in his heart was also dissipated a lot in the violent pounding of rain.
He walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the dark world. In the unfamiliar streets of the small city, there were no guards patrolling the city in the middle of the night. The outside world was empty and empty, except for the occasional lightning flash across the sky that illuminated the city. , Jiraiya can feel the structure of civilization.
Just as he was about to jump out, Jiraiya suddenly paused. He quickly turned around, picked up the monocle that he had thrown out before, and put it in his pocket.
After doing all this, after seeing Kai jump down, he stretched out his hand and summoned the substitute 'Purple Hermit'.
He used the rain that seeped in from the window to activate his writing, and the water element immediately began to deform, forming a map of Utopia in less than a moment.
This is the ability of his substitute 'Purple Hermit'. Although it has no effect in frontal combat, it can come in handy at times like this.
But the final result was beyond his expectation, even to the point of frightening him.
"how come?!"
He looked at the rain on the ground. The rain that would have formed the map of Utopia began to dance wildly at this moment. Countless water droplets swayed and combined, forming several complete maps in a short period of time!
"Could it be that... is Utopia changing all the time?!"
Jiraiya bit his lip. At this moment, he simply canceled the reading. The purple hermit disappeared. He stepped on the water, shattering the last map it formed, and then jumped out of the window without hesitation. .
The downpour of rain hit him, Jiraiya looked at Kai who was already soaked and said in a low voice
“This city has a problem, let’s not turn corners and keep walking in a straight line.”
"good!"
Kai nodded, he took a deep breath, and the next moment the eight gates of Dunjia opened, and it was directly the seventh gate!
The huge amount of chakra stimulated the temperature of the air around him to rise. A heavy rain fell on him, but it evaporated in the next second.
Kai held Jiraiya with one hand and exploded with all his strength in the next moment. The extreme speed in the seventh gate state made him far away from the Iris Hotel almost instantly.
The moment Kai started, Jiraiya used Wind Release. Because they were absconding, they had to be stealthy. Once Kai ran at full speed, he would definitely break through the sound barrier and create a sonic boom.
So in order to prevent the roar of the sonic boom, he controlled the wind in advance to minimize the noise of Kai's running!
But something strange happened. No matter how much Kai ran, no matter how fast he went, he couldn't see the edge of the city!
"Wait! Stop!"
In the violent storm, Jiraiya roared at the top of his lungs
Kai stopped, took a breath and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiraiya turned around and looked to the left, his voice vibrating.
"Isn't that the Iris Hotel?!"
What? ! ! !
Kai turned his head instantly when he heard this. In a dark world with not much moonlight, Kai almost relied on his own eyesight to discover the building...
It looks like it has been around for many years. Amidst the heavy rain and the howling of the strong wind, this building that looks a bit like the vicissitudes of time gives people a shaky feeling.
Rumble…
Another flash of lightning lit up the city...
Kai looked up and found the words 'Iris Hotel' carved on the outer wall of the building!
Iris Hotel! ! !
This is exactly where they stayed!
They're back again! !
How can it be? ! !
What had they been running for so long in this pouring rain? !
"what on earth is it?!"
Kai was shocked. At this moment, even his thick nerves felt something was wrong.
Who is he? Or what kind of existence is playing tricks on them secretly
At this time, the sound of the harmonica played by Tracy that they heard when they came came from the hotel again.
It's still so sad, still so sad, as if the world is crying, like the cries of people in despair.
Even the world washed away by heavy rain cannot assimilate this sad tune. It is as if the two are in different dimensions, one is weeping and complaining, and the other is ticking furiously.
Rumble…
Rumble…
Suddenly bursts of light came from the sky, and successive lightning bolts appeared from the sky. The power of nature rendered the black clouds into patches of blue-purple.
"This is… "
In the utopia that echoed the blue-purple sky, Jiraiya and Kai hugged their backs and looked at the people around them in disbelief...
Every corner, street, doorway of house, window inside the house illuminated by lightning...
Someone is watching them! ! !
At the door of the Iris Hotel, Tracy stood like a doll, staring at the two of them without any expression on her delicate face;
In another house, a man in black clothes opened the window on the second floor and looked at them from the second floor;
At the corner of the street, a girl of about eleven or twelve years old walked out. She held a doll and let the heavy rain fall on her head, but she still just turned her head and looked at the two of them quietly;
More and more people appeared in more and more places. They looked at Jiraiya and Kai together until their scalps felt a little numb when they looked at them.
This is simply a reappearance of a dream!
Jiraiya thought of his dream at the Iris Hotel. It was the same at that time, with the same look, and the same pressure!
Then, just like in his dream, Tracy took out the monocle from her pocket.
This was true for everyone. In every corner of the city, everyone in any place that Jiraiya and Kai noticed took out a monocle at the same time and put it on their right eye.
At this moment, everyone spoke at the same moment. Everyone's voice was not loud, but with so many people talking together, the voice still overwhelmed the heavy rain.
In a world of darkness, in a world of only crackling voices came a chorus of proclamations
“Welcome to Utopia…”
… … …
"As expected of the first Hokage of Konoha, he was able to find our location..."
In the temporary base of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato looked at Senju Hashirama on the other side and said in a deep voice
"Then what are you doing?"
Hashirama looked around and didn't answer Nagato's question immediately, but said casually
"Are you a descendant of the Uzumaki clan?"
"..." Nagato was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, my parents died in the battle between Konoha and Amegakure."
Hashirama sighed, "War is such a cruel topic..."
"Are you interested in ending the war with me?"
"End the war?" Nagato sneered, "This is impossible. Haven't you seen through the nature of the ninja world after such a long time? If you want to prevent war between various countries, you can only force them with a bigger war. Only then can I cook.”
"So... how about unifying the Ninja world?" Hashirama advised, "No longer divided into various countries, but like the Ninja Sect established by the Six Paths Sage, the entire Ninja world has only one voice."
"… Unite… "
Nagato murmured these two words, and then said, "Why ask me? With your strength, you can easily unify Konoha and the ninja world."
"It is not unification by Konoha. What I want is union rather than conquest, so the new regime must have power constraints. Otherwise, absolute power will only lead to absolute corruption!"
…
Nagato nodded secretly. He had never thought that the First Hokage would have such insightful thoughts.
There are really very few people in this world, very few people who can escape the constraints of being an individual human being.
After normal people have the power to crush the entire world, if they want to unify the ninja world, they will usually let their own country and their own village take the lead.
But Senju Hashirama was able to get rid of the shackles of identity. It was indeed not easy. No wonder he was able to create the Hidden Leaf Village.
"What exactly do you want to say..."
Even though he already vaguely understood the intention of the First Hokage, Nagato still asked
"I would like to invite you to join the new coalition government and represent the entire Akatsuki organization."
Hashirama crossed his arms and said slowly, "I know that some people in the Akatsuki organization are S-class wanted criminals in their respective villages, but after the new regime is established, I think the major countries will not be too entangled in their past crimes."
"..." Nagato calmed down and said, "The Akatsuki organization is not a highly centralized organization, and this matter is of great importance. I will have to discuss it with the members for a period of time before I can give you an answer."
"I have no problem..." Hashirama shrugged, and then said
"Then there's the second question..."
"The second one?" Nagato frowned.
"Stone Ghost Face, map... you should understand what I mean, right?" Hashirama said slowly, his voice was very soft, but the sound seemed to explode in Nagato's ears as he frowned.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice
"It turns out that another stone ghost mask is in Konoha..."
He breathed a sigh of relief and finally nodded after thinking about it for a while.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate with Konoha!"
… … …
Outside Konoha Village, Kakashi was resting against a tree.
During the battle with Dio, he was turned into a child, and later recovered under Tsunade's treatment.
After recovering, he received a mission.
That was Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage who escorted Kirigakure on behalf of Konoha, returned to Kirigakure's new station.
Although with Terumi Mei's strength, he would generally not encounter any danger, Kakashi himself represented Konoha's attitude.
Of course, nothing happened along the way. After all, when everyone is rebuilding their homes, who would mess with a Konoha elite Jonin and Kirigakure's Mizukage
But at this moment, on the way back after delivering the goods, Kakashi, who was resting, suddenly saw a distortion in the space in front of him...
This familiar fluctuation in pupil energy cheered him up almost instantly!
This is divine power!
But in the current ninja world, there is only one person besides him who can still use Kamui!
Uchiha Obito! !
In Kakashi's shocked and expectant eyes, Obito, who was not wearing the Uzumaki mask, returned from another world. He lowered his head, looked at the shocked Kakashi and said
"Kakashi, it's been more than ten years since we last met, right?"
"...Strictly speaking, I felt your power not long ago."
Kakashi smiled.
When fighting against Dio, Kakashi accepted Obito's assistance when his energy ran out, and he truly felt Obito's power at that time.
"What a coward." Obito said softly, "Can Kakashi Hatake, the talented ninja at the time and the strongest at the same time, only rely on my power in the end?"
"Kamui is indeed an extremely powerful pupil technique." Kakashi said noncommittally.
Obito glanced at Kakashi deeply, then turned around. The next moment, the space around him was distorted, and a black force swallowed up the space around him, and the darkness was getting bigger and bigger, and the void was torn apart. The black cavity is very similar.
While distorting the space, Obito said
"If you want to become stronger, just follow me..."
Kakashi did not reply immediately, but asked, "Where is Lin? Is he okay?"
“…”
Obito was expressionless at first and didn't speak, but he chuckled at the end.
"You will know when you come with me..."
The darkness expanded and changed until the space between two people could be transported, and then it stopped.
Kakashi didn't hesitate anymore, he took a deep breath, and then walked straight into the 'black cavity' without saying anything else.
A feeling of traveling through the world came over, as if the rules of the world were different. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was in a closed laboratory!
