Chapter 172 Changes in the Kingdom of Wind
It was not until he saw the various scrolls about Yin-Yang Release and the Rinnegan left by Uchiha Madara that Nagato was certain that the Rinnegan was indeed Uchiha Madara's.

There is no other reason, it's just because Uchiha Madara has fully developed the power of the Rinnegan to the limit. In comparison, Nagato can only use some basic functions of the Rinnegan, but Uchiha Madara has already mastered the power of the Rinnegan and even developed its secrets.

"So, this is the true power of the Samsara Eye? And Yin-Yang Release... As expected, this eye should have been transplanted to me by Uchiha Madara."

There was a look of disappointment on Nagato's face, and he sighed softly.

The trio once had such great confidence that they created the Akatsuki organization and pursued world peace. Eighty percent of the reason for this came from their confidence in Nagato's Rinnegan.

The Six Paths Sage possessed the Rinnegan, quelled the world's disasters, founded the Ninja Clan, and became a legend. Then, as the owner of the second Rinnegan, Nagato claimed that it was his destiny to pursue world peace, so it shouldn't be difficult for him, right?
It can only be said that the lack of information gave Nagato great confidence. Of course, the power of the Rinnegan is indeed strong. Theoretically, if Nagato could really fully exert the power of the Rinnegan and there were not so many masterminds behind the scenes, he could really suppress an era like Hashirama Senju and bring decades of peace to the ninja world.

But now that he knew the truth, Nagato's fantasy was shattered. He did not have any destiny, nor was he born with the Rinnegan. He was only chosen by the mastermind behind the scenes to be the host of the Rinnegan because he possessed the sage body of the Uzumaki clan.

"It's okay, Nagato. Uchiha Madara gave you the Samsara Eye. Maybe he had bad intentions, but he is dead now. Doesn't this prove that you are destined to be yours?"

Yahiko patted Nagato's shoulder and said jokingly. Nagato came back to his senses and his face regained some spirit:
"Don't worry, Yahiko. I just felt a little emotional for a moment. No matter if I was born with the Rinnegan or not, and no matter who has the destiny, I will work hard to the end for the wishes of the Akatsuki organization and our common wish!"

"It's good that you can see it clearly, but is Uchiha Madara really dead?"

Yahiko said with a smile, then looked at the weirdos and asked.

"Uchiha Madara-sama is really dead. When he was young, Madara-sama might have been very powerful, but he was already in his seventies or eighties at that time. His Samsara Eye had been dug out and given to you. It would be difficult for him to fight against any Kage-level warrior."

"Not only that, even the Outer Path Statue was taken away. Without the Outer Path Statue, even if Uchiha Madara-sama is still alive, he must have died of old age by now."

"The Heretic Demon..."

Nagato muttered and touched his eyes again.

After obtaining the Rinnegan, he was also able to sense the existence of the Outer Path Golem, but even with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, if he wanted to summon the Outer Path Golem, it would probably cost him half his life, so he had never thought of summoning the Outer Path Golem before.

Moreover, a few years ago, the ability of the Rinnegan to sense the Outer Path Demon Statue completely disappeared. At that time, Uzumaki Nagato also had doubts, but no one could explain the matter of the Rinnegan to him, so in the end he could only suppress this doubt in his heart.

Unexpectedly... the Outer Path Demon Statue was actually snatched away by Uchiha Feiyu. It seems that this Uchiha Feiyu is really not an easy person to deal with.

"Outer Path Golem, what is that?"

Yahiko spoke with some doubt, but Nagato had only sensed the existence of the Outer Path Golem and knew that it was very powerful, but he was not quite sure what it looked like or what functions it had.

Several white monsters, namely White Zetsu, talked a lot, which gave Nagato and others a simple understanding of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

"You have powerful chakra? And you have the power to absorb chakra?"

"An extremely large and hard golem body? Incredible destructive power?"

"You are the ones who can create artificial humans... White Zetsu?"

The more he listened to those White Zetsu, the more Yahiko frowned. According to those White Zetsu, the Outer Path Statue was essentially a treasure that was no less than the Rinnegan. The other party had possessed the Outer Path Statue for such a long time, so both their strength and power must have been extremely astonishing.

"But this also confirms the prediction of the Great Toad Sage. If the other party is really an ordinary Uchiha, how could he pose a threat to the world?"

Nagato spoke calmly, without losing confidence, and on the contrary comforted Yahiko:
"Believe in the power of the Rinnegan! The Outer Path Demon Statue is just an external force anyway. After I have fully developed the power of the Rinnegan, the opponent is no longer a threat."

"And I have the help of you, Myoboku-san, and Sensei Jiraiya. If we work together, I believe we can defeat this Uchiha."

"Well said!"

Yahiko nodded, and also had some confidence:
"Next, Nagato, you will learn how to use the Rinnegan and Yin-Yang Release here! Uchiha Madara's inheritance should be able to improve your strength."

"As for the rest of the information about Uchiha Feiyu, let us inquire with Teacher Jiraiya to see what the other party is planning to do."

A look of worry appeared on Nagato's face, and he spoke in a low voice:
"Be careful. The other party has completely controlled the Sand Village now. In addition, they have the Outer Path Demon Statue in their hands. Even with Jiraiya, it will be very difficult and dangerous to get useful information."

Yahiko waved his hand and didn't care:
"Don't worry, I know very well how dangerous the Uchiha who was able to kill Uchiha Madara is, not to mention that he now controls the Sand Village and has the Outer Path Demon Statue in his hands."

"We are just going to inquire about the situation. If we find that things are impossible to do, we will retreat immediately!"

Today, after training in Myoboku Mountain, Yahiko and Konan have almost reached the level of Kage in strength. With the addition of Jiraiya, in Yahiko's opinion, even if they are not invincible, they can still survive anywhere they go to gather intelligence.

And it is because Nagato possesses the Rinnegan that he can clearly understand how powerful the Outer Path Demon Statue is. Perhaps it is not as convenient to use as the Rinnegan, but as long as he can figure out some of the most basic uses of the Outer Path Demon Statue, it will be enough to sweep away ordinary ninjas and dominate the world.

However, Nagato did not say much. Although the Outer Path Statue was powerful, it was not flexible enough after all. It seemed that it was possible for Teacher Jiraiya to lead Yahiko and Konan to escape unscathed.

So it was settled. Nagato got the legacy of Uchiha Madara and started to study seriously. His strength could be improved by +1. Jiraiya took his other two disciples to the Land of Wind. The Land of Wind, Sand Village.

Uchiha Feiyu has been waiting here for several months and is already getting a little impatient.

During this period of time, Uchiha Feiyu released the crystal ball Sharingan he created into the sky, and it has been constantly scanning the entire Kingdom of Wind.

Although Uchiha Feiyu's chakra cannot pull the entire Wind Country into a small infinite Tsukuyomi, it will not be much of a burden if he just uses the crystal ball Sharingan to scan the terrain and search for people.

It’s just that the chakra is not a burden, but Uchiha Feiyu is not interested in patrolling and checking the surveillance in the Wind Country all day long!

"Wait another week. If Jiraiya doesn't show up, just leave him alone for now!"

"It just so happens that I obtained some methods to strengthen leeks by sacrificing black energy last time. Then I can let these countries in the ninja world start to promote it... This is the real business. Jiraiya is not worth wasting too much of my time."

Sitting in the office of the Wind Kingdom, Uchiha Feiyu once again invested his mental power into the Sharingan crystal ball in the sky. A faint red light flashed on the crystal ball, slowly scanning the entire Wind Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Wind is the country with the smallest population among the five major countries, the entire country has a population of tens of millions. It is certainly impossible for Uchiha Feiyu to see all of them one by one. Even if the Sharingan crystal ball can recognize everyone, he does not have the memory to distinguish them one by one.

Therefore, Uchiha Feiyu's method of detection is to determine the key targets through chakra. Those targets without chakra, or with weak chakra, are most likely civilians from the Wind Country. Those with stronger chakra are generally ninjas from the Wind Country.

As a Kage-level ninja, Jiraiya's chakra strength is definitely ranked in the top ten in the entire Wind Kingdom. Uchiha Feiyu only needs to check whether there is any unfamiliar powerful chakra and then locate the person to determine whether the other party has sneaked in.

"Um!?"

This time it was still a routine scan, but Uchiha Feiyu was slightly startled, and when he raised his head, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Three unfamiliar powerful chakras, one is considered powerful even among Kage-level ninjas, and the remaining two are close to the level of Kage-level ninjas..."

Feeling the new powerful chakra entering the Kingdom of Wind, Uchiha Feiyu said nothing and used the "eyes" in the sky to stare at the source of the chakra, and then he could clearly see the three people walking in the desert.

"Is this Jiraiya with his two apprentices? Why isn't Nagato with him?"

Looking at Jiraiya and the other two, Uchiha Feiyu was a little surprised, but soon this surprise turned into joy:

"Forget it, no matter what, Jiraiya is finally here... I didn't wait for so long in vain!"

After confirming that Jiraiya had entered the Land of Wind, Uchiha Feiyu was no longer in a hurry. He directly started waiting for Jiraiya and the other two to arrive in the Sand Village.

Uchiha Feiyu was not in a hurry, and Jiraiya and the other two were not in a hurry either. The Wind Country has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. The green area has expanded seven or eight times, and many deserts have turned into wild savannas. The three people who had been to or heard of the name of the Wind Country were quite surprised.

"Although I have heard about the changes in the Wind Kingdom a long time ago...but I never expected that the Wind Kingdom is now so much more prosperous and wealthy than before."

Walking in the desert bazaar of the Wind Country, Jiraiya also had some emotion:
"I am now somewhat skeptical as to whether Uchiha Feiyu is the man who destroyed the world as the Great Toad Sage said. Being able to transform the Wind Country into this, this young Uchiha may not be as terrible as we imagined."

Jiraiya was touched by the changes in the Land of Wind and had a good impression of Uchiha Feiyu.

If you think about it carefully, the Great Toad Sage only dreamed that an Uchiha with three magatama Sharingan would destroy the world, but he was not completely sure that it was Uchiha Feiyu.

Although Uchiha Hiba betrayed Konoha and killed Uchiha Madara at the same time, there were reasons for betraying Konoha, and killing Uchiha Madara was not a bad thing. Am I being a little arbitrary to decide his position based on this?
Jiraiya was a little shaken, not to mention Konan and Yahiko. Yahiko looked at the prosperous market in the Wind Country with a bit of envy on his face:

"I've heard that most of the land in the Kingdom of Wind is desert. I didn't expect that the current environment of the Kingdom of Wind has been transformed to this extent. Teacher Jiraiya, have you been to the original Kingdom of Wind? What was it like?"

"The original Wind Kingdom is definitely a much harsher environment than you can imagine!"

"The temperature during the day has never dropped below 40 degrees Celsius, and at night it is basically below minus 10 degrees Celsius. Even us ninjas have collapsed due to the harsh environment in the desert."

"The amount of vegetation was far less than it is now. At that time, in a desert bazaar like this, at most some grass and plants were planted inside the bazaar. Only in a relatively large oasis could you see more green space."

"It is unprecedented in the Kingdom of Wind to have a large area of ​​grass and even some trees outside a market like this."

Jiraiya spoke with a very serious expression. In fact, it was not only the natural environment of the Wind Country that had improved. The residents of the Wind Country also seemed to be much richer than before.

Originally, even for a market like this, the number of people gathering every day would not be too many, only about seven or eight hundred people a day, but now the number has almost tripled or quadrupled.

The population of the Kingdom of Wind would certainly not increase several times in just a few years. The only explanation is that the civilians of the Kingdom of Wind are much richer than before, so the number of people visiting the market has increased so much.

"It seems that not only has the environment of Wind Country improved a lot, but the administration of Wind Country is also very clean... Otherwise, the income from Wind Country's transformation would probably be taken away by those nobles..."

When he said this, Jiraiya was a little confused. Only then did he remember that it seemed that not only the Wind Country, but the administration of the Fire Country had also become very clean in recent years, and those nobles seemed to have become different people.
