Main partContinuation Chapter 1

Armored vehicles pressed their tracks or wheels against the road, making noisy noises.

There is eroded land everywhere, and the surveyors at the scene can't imagine what kind of battles they have gone through to toss a country's territory into this.

From entering the land of the Land of Rain, there are ruins, broken earth, and disappearing peaks that can be seen. There is not even a drop of rain, and the sky has begun to change abnormally.

About an hour later, the morning sun in the east has come out, emitting warm light, shining on this barren land.

"Old man."

Ichihime and Sasuke slowly flew over from a distance.

However, the aura of the two of them is relatively weak, and their overall strength is estimated to be ten to one.

But seeing the two people appear, the big stone in Baishi's heart finally fell to the ground.

At first, I thought there would be a problem there, but now that the two of them are here, there is no need to say much about Nagato's fate.

Sitting on the simple medical field that has been built, Shiraishi still has a head on his body, wrapped in a lot of bandages, his clothes are also torn, and his weakness is worse than that of Kazuhime and Sasuke.

"Just come back."

Shiraishi nodded, and Hanabi beside him continued to wrap the bandage around him. The wound had healed, but the coordination of the body was not enough, which may be related to the excessive consumption of soul energy, so he needed the support of Hanabi to stand up stably.

And the whole body is sore, this feeling has not been felt for a long time.

Ichihime and Sasuke landed.

Yiji glanced around, but didn't find her mother Liuli, and another woman with white eyes.

Shiraishi seemed to be aware of Kazuhime's doubts, so he said: "The bodies of the two of them are with the shadow dancer, and the souls are preserved by me. When I go back, I will restore the chakra and put the souls back."

After all, this is a little different from the death situation. Both the soul and the body are in the real world, and there is no need to perform reincarnation ninjutsu.

But even if they recover, the two of them will need some time to recuperate. Because they also consume a lot of soul energy, which will cause physical incoordination, and it may take a while to recover.

"Tsk tsk, did a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki make you miserable like this?"

Yiji was a little surprised, but also a little gloating and teasing, as if she was happy to see them in such a mess.

"Maybe."

Baishi was very tired and didn't want to talk much.

Although looking back on the battle, there are some doubts, such as the question of who the old man who suddenly appeared, he still has no definite answer.

Afterwards, he saw something in Ichiki's right hand.

It was a black elastic ball, less than the size of a palm, and its softness was like jelly or ooze.

Baishi sensed a familiar aura from above, it seemed to be Xiao's 'black' person.

"What's this?"

Yiji looked down and said, "This is that Hei Jue."

"I know, what did you bring it out for?"

Baishi was a little puzzled.

"In the end, I won Nagato with his help. Besides, I have some things of my own, and I want to ask them. How about it, old man, can you recover?"

Ichihime handed the black ball to Shiraishi, and asked Shiraishi if there was any way to restore it.

Baishi reached out to take it, and touched it carefully. It was very soft, but he couldn't help but squeeze it again, and it felt good.

"It's not a problem to recover, but the consciousness in it is very weak and somewhat incomplete. Even if it recovers, it may not be the original guy. And I don't need to do it myself. There is the power of Yin-Yang Dun here. You can solve it by yourself."

Saying that, he threw the black ball to Ichihime again.

"Yeah?"

Ichiki stuffed the black ball into the ninja bag, shrugged, and didn't pay much attention.

At this time, Sasuke looked at Hanabi next to Shiraishi, and suddenly said strangely: "I remember your name is Hanabi, and you belong to the Hinata clan. Why are you here? And..."

Before Shiraishi could answer, Yiji had already said, "You said Huahuo, she and I are half-sisters, although we have only met each other a few times in these years. However, even Cai, she doesn't know that she actually has a younger sister."

When Sasuke heard it, his eyes widened.

Another glance at Shiraishi, this guy really knows how to play tricks, and even sent his own daughter to the Hyuga clan... Konoha is a sieve, right?

Hanabi smiled at Sasuke and bowed slightly.

"Senior Sasuke, long time no see. Let me introduce formally, I am Hanabi Hinata."

Sasuke suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded.

Hyuga is the surname, this official introduction reminded Sasuke of something, but this is the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan, so he didn't ask too much.

"Speaking of which, where is Naruto? Did you kill him?"

Sasuke didn't see Naruto's figure, nor did he notice his Chakra, which was a bit strange.

Could it be that there are no bones left?

Thinking of this, Sasuke suddenly felt a little lonely.

"To be precise, I am the one who was 'let go'."

Shiraishi laughed softly, and just looked directly into Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke frowned, a little puzzled.

"What, are you worried about your friend's safety?"

Shiraishi asked.

Sasuke also looked at Shiraishi, stared into his eyes, without saying a word, no one knew what was going on in his mind.

After a long time, Baishi turned his gaze away and said, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's in the best condition among those on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. He has been taken away by the prison troops, and he should be on his way to the Land of Ghosts now."

"Didn't you kill him? After all, it's a terrible threat to push you to this point."

Sasuke said so.

Shiraishi felt that Sasuke's words were harsh, so he snorted softly.

"Since he gave up resistance, he is a prisoner. Not killing prisoners who give up their weapons is a rule I personally set. If even I, the maker, don't abide by it, then who else will take the rules seriously. Sasuke, our goal is to completely eliminate the enemy, turn the vacillating into neutral, then turn neutral into friends, and finally turn friends into our own people. Relying on violence and terror alone will only make enemies more and more."

As he said that, Shiraishi broke away from Hanabi's support, turned around and picked up a white coat, put it on his body casually, and then walked forward slowly.

"Let's go, about the battle with Nagato, I will listen to you slowly on the way back. Moreover, the ninja war is over, but the war about the world has only just begun. It is not time for us to relax completely."
