The gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
In the Country of Fire, near a grand canyon.
A rushing river surged past, with large stretches of red rocks on both sides. Su Xiao sat atop one of these red rocks, lost in thought.
This vast area of red rocks was once a stronghold of the Akatsuki Organization in Konoha Village. It had been abandoned and destroyed from the inside.
From the current traces, it seemed not to have been attacked by enemies; it was likely destroyed by the Akatsuki members themselves.
Su Xiao took out the 'Ring of the Void' from his storage space. This item had been confiscated when he left the Naruto World, but now he had regained the right to use it.
The Jutsu of Phantom Lantern attached to the Ring of the Void could no longer be used, probably due to Nagato's death. Nagato was the master of the Jutsu of Phantom Lantern, a ninjutsu usable only with the Rinnegan.
