Madara's words didn't even include himself.
Nagato, who inherited his Rinnegan, had gradually mastered the power of the Rinnegan under his guidance.
In addition, Nagato's original bloodline was already very outstanding, and now Nagato was progressing at a terrifying speed.
In the entire ninja world, how many could be Nagato's opponent in the future?
Kana was frightened by Madara again and could only helplessly look at Nagato, her eyes brimming with tears.
She tugged on Nagato's sleeve and persuaded, "Cousin, please don't… Just being able to find you is already my luck. Let's hide our identities and live a peaceful life, okay?"
At the side, the woman who was rescued by Kakashi from the red-light district couldn't help but walk over to Kana and reminded her, "Miss, Lord Nagato is a ninja. He definitely can't live the way you want."
Uzumaki Kana showed a trace of worry, "Is that so? Being a ninja is not a good profession."
But Nagato said, "Ninjas might not be a good profession, but they have the power to protect everything. If I hadn't obtained this power, I wouldn't have survived until today."
Kana nodded and softly said, "I understand. I won't cause you any trouble."
Afterward, she looked at Ibuki and asked, "That money you gave me before, was it also from cousin Nagato?"
Ibuki panicked inside, quickly signaled to everyone with her eyes, then smiled and said, "Yes, it was from Lord Nagato. It's just that Lord Nagato was busy with missions at the time and couldn't come to find you right away, so he gave some money in advance."
Kana gratefully held Ibuki's hand, "Ibuki, you're really capable. Thank you."
Then she turned her head and looked at Nagato, "And thank you too, cousin. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to survive."
Nagato looked completely confused, 'I don't remember giving money to cousin Kana? Today is the first time I heard about this. Otherwise, I would've come looking much earlier.'
Just as he was about to clarify the matter, Obito had already rushed to his side and said, "Nagato, everyone is tired. Miss Kana and Miss Ibuki are exhausted and need a bath and rest."
Only then did Nagato remember that Kana and Ibuki had suffered a lot, especially Ibuki, covered in mud and dust from travel.
So, not thinking of anything else, he immediately brought the two to a temporary lodging and called over a female member of Akatsuki on night watch duty to send over some clean clothes.
After finishing everything, Obito pulled Nagato aside and briefly explained Ibuki's previous experiences.
Nagato instantly got angry, "You mean, that money was from Miss Ibuki selling herself?"
He clenched his fists, wanting to go settle scores with the red-light district boss immediately.
'Sigh, Nagato, who hasn't fully felt the pain yet, is still a bit more naive than Kakashi.'
Obito quickly stopped him and said, "It's meaningless. If she hadn't sold herself, who would've given her that much money? This Uzumaki Kana is clearly a noble lady who doesn't understand anything and relies on her maid for everything."
"This Miss Ibuki is truly loyal. She would rather sell herself to give her lady a chance to survive."
Nagato was immediately moved and said with some lingering fear, "Good thing we found out, otherwise Miss Ibuki would've…"
Obito glanced at Nagato, "Probably more than that. Ibuki could no longer take care of Uzumaki Kana. With her naive and weak personality, if she hadn't met us, she'd likely have been terribly bullied in the future."
Obito patted Nagato's shoulder, "So, take good care of your relatives. I'll introduce another Uzumaki clan member to you another day."
Nagato was stunned and then looked at Obito, "You know other clansmen?"
Obito nodded, "Of course I do. She's the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, Uzumaki Kushina…"
After a pause, Obito continued, "At the same time, Sister Kushina is also my master's wife."
"Master's wife?", Nagato was stunned again.
Obito smiled, "Nagato, you don't know yet, but your senior brother is already here. I'll introduce you tomorrow."

The next day, Uchiha Madara led some members of Akatsuki out to clear away the increasing number of foreign ninjas in the Land of Rain.
Because the large armies of Kumogakure and Iwagakure still needed a few more days to enter the Land of Rain,
But that didn't stop some ninjas from infiltrating ahead to gather intel.
Of course, under Nagato's Rain Tiger at Will Technique, no infiltrating ninja could hide. Even if Hanzo's people didn't discover them, Madara would take people to eliminate them.
When it's said that there will be no mercy, there is truly no mercy. In this regard, Madara was even more thorough than Hanzo.
Amegakure was gradually becoming a graveyard for ninjas from the Five Great Nations. Not only Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas were cleared, but even Kirigakure and Sunagakure ninjas trying to gather intel were wiped out as well.
Of course, only Konohagakure ninjas were spared. After all, Obito had wide connections.
However, due to Minato's arrival, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were very interested in this legendary senior brother, so they didn't go out with Madara.
So they found a time to meet with Minato alone.
The moment they saw Minato, the three founding members of Akatsuki felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He was indeed their senior brother.
Yahiko smiled and greeted Minato, "Senior Brother Minato, we've heard of your great name. You ended a war by yourself and brought peace to the ninja world. That's really amazing."
Minato was a bit embarrassed. Without Obito's help, he wouldn't have managed it at all. He might not even have captured Rasa easily.
He said, "Actually, according to the time Jiraiya-sensei took us in, you all are earlier than me, so there's no need to call me senior brother."
But Konan shook her head and cheerfully said, "Senior Brother Minato is older than us, so of course we should call you senior brother. Besides, you're so amazing."
"The Yellow Flash of the Leaf, so cool," Yahiko immediately felt a bit sour. He also wanted to make a name for himself. Let's call it the Orange Flash, so Konan would also think he's cool.
Feeling the warmth from his junior brothers and sister, Minato sighed in his heart, 'We are truly Jiraiya-sensei's good disciples.'
'If not for Danzo, how could things have ended up like that?'
'Indeed, what Obito says is right, Danzo deserves to die. Even if the Third Hokage favored him, he still had to be eliminated.'
He smiled and said, "Then I'll treat everyone as my junior brothers and sister. Let's work together for the peace of the ninja world."
Yahiko and the others were delighted and couldn't help but talk to Minato about Jiraiya's philosophy of peace. For a time, the atmosphere was joyful, and the group quickly built a deep friendship.
Suddenly, Konan thought of a question and said, "Senior Brother Minato, Obito is your disciple, right? Then wouldn't it be inappropriate for Obito to call me big sister?"
"How about letting Obito call me Teacher Konan in the future?", Thinking of this, Konan got really excited.
Minato became embarrassed. It was already difficult enough for Konan to get Obito to call her big sister. If she wanted to jump a generation and become his teacher, Obito definitely wouldn't accept it.
He said awkwardly, "Let's just each call as we normally do."
———
On the other side, Obito, who was enjoying alone time with Rin, suddenly sneezed.
Seeing this, Rin smiled and said, "Obito, you still need to take better care of your health. The Land of Rain rains all year round, the weather is damp and cold, it's easy to catch a cold."
Obito nodded and took the opportunity to hug Rin tightly, "Rin, it's so cold, let me warm up."
Rin's face immediately turned a little red.
But she suddenly remembered something and couldn't care about Obito taking advantage.
So she softly asked, "Obito, do you think in that other world, did Naruto deliver my note to the you in that world?"
"What would the you in that world do then?"
