Land of Water.
Under Shisui's lead, Kakuzu and Hidan approached the Water Country Daimyo, with the goal of selling virtual helmets in the Land of Water.
In reality, there was no need to sell them at all. The Water Country Daimyo had already been completely controlled by Shisui.
Although Kotoamatsukami wasn't used, the Daimyo, being an ordinary person, had essentially become a walking corpse.
The money in the Daimyo's Palace now belonged to the revolutionary forces.
The main reason Kakuzu still came was merely to cover their tracks.
After all, there were other people in the Daimyo's Palace, and for now, they couldn't let anyone know about the Daimyo's unusual state.
"Shisui, the virtual helmet business here in the Land of Water is entrusted to you! I'm going to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning now."
After exiting the Daimyo's Palace, Kakuzu said to Shisui.
Shisui nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll get the goods from Naruto!"
Shisui knew that Kakuzu was a practical person who earned money for the revolutionary forces, so he spoke to him very politely.
"Hahaha, for the red ideology, for the revolution, Big Brother Kakuzu, let's go!"
Hidan, who was standing by, shouted excitedly.
It must be said, Kotoamatsukami was indeed an incredible skill.
Hidan, who had always firmly believed in the evil god, was now immersed in the great red ideology.
After Hidan and Kakuzu left, Shisui continued to move.
The base of operations in the Land of Water was chosen near the Daimyo's Palace. After all, they were going to start a revolution, and Itachi and Shisui planned to completely transform the Land of Water into a red country within a year.
Naturally, none of this could be known by the other four countries.
Fortunately, the Land of Water was located overseas. As long as the sea ports were sealed, news from here would not be known for a while.
Next was to recruit soldiers, build infrastructure, and use the Daimyo to spread the red ideology throughout the entire Land of Water.
Just as construction was in full swing in the Land of Water, some things also happened in the Land of Fire.
Land of Fire Daimyo's Palace.
In recent days, a strategist named [Lelouch] had appeared by the Land of Fire Lord's side.
Lelouch's arrival helped the Daimyo's Palace earn a lot of money.
Lelouch taught the Daimyo how to exploit the labor of ordinary people and how to better utilize the resources of the Land of Fire.
In addition, he used persuasive words to increase the Land of Fire Lord's ambition.
He made the Land of Fire Lord aware of the resources available in the other four countries.
Lelouch's goal was simple: to turn the Land of Fire Lord into a great demon king.
This demon king would not care about the lives of his people; he would only care about profit, and ultimately, the one to defeat the demon king would be the hero, which is to say, the revolutionary forces!
In Naruto's opinion, the Land of Fire was the most difficult to conquer, but Lelouch believed that, apart from the Land of Water, the Land of Fire was actually the easiest to conquer.
The reason was none other than the fact that the Land of Fire's economy was entirely concentrated in the core area centered around the capital.
As for the areas outside the core, the Land of Fire Lord could barely see them, and because of this, there were so many displaced people and those who couldn't even get enough to eat in the outer regions of the Land of Fire.
In the hearts of everyone in the Ninja World, there was a fixed class system: common people should starve, and Daimyo, nobles, and Ninja should be high and mighty.
This inherent notion made them unable to resist, and they dared not resist, but if the Daimyo's oppression became stronger, these common people would turn into individual powder kegs.
At that time, the revolutionary forces of the red ideology would become a spark falling into a powder keg.
By then, the wave of revolution would truly be unleashed.
Once the Land of Fire was completely conquered, the next step would be to expand outwards from the two countries of water and fire, bringing all other large and small countries under their control. By then, this world would be completely dominated by the red ideology!
Lelouch did not voice his thoughts; he was the type to act first and then speak! Action would always be faster than words.
So, after only a few days, he had already become a favored person by the Land of Fire Lord.
Half a month later.
Just as undercurrents were surging in both the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.
Naruto, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Nagato, and Konan gathered in the Akatsuki Organization's base in the Rain Ninja Village.
"Nagato, have you really thought this through?"
Jiraiya asked Nagato, who was skin and bones, with a serious tone.
"Yes! Master Jiraiya, I've thought it through. These eyes might bring more tragedies in the future, even leading to the destruction of the entire Ninja World. I can't keep them anymore!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya stopped trying to persuade him and looked at Naruto and Orochimaru, "In that case, let's begin!"
Naruto didn't act immediately but looked at Nagato and said, "Since you're going to destroy the Rinnegan anyway, and we also plan to give you a healthy body, why don't you use Rinne Rebirth once to help revive someone!"
Hearing about reviving someone, Nagato immediately thought of Yahiko.
However, reviving Yahiko was no longer possible, because he had already transformed Yahiko into a Pain puppet, and Rinne Rebirth was no longer effective on him. This was also one of his biggest regrets.
All this time, Nagato had been telling himself, "What if Yahiko is revived? He would still have to live in this twisted world, allowing this twisted world to defile Yahiko's pure soul."
But the truth was, if he could have revived Yahiko, he would have done so long ago.
"If you have anyone you want to revive, you can do it at the same time!"
Naruto added.
Nagato looked at Pain, who was standing to the side, which was Yahiko's corpse, and shook his head, saying, "He has already been transformed into a puppet by me and cannot be revived!"
Naruto heard this and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, he can be revived!"
With that, Naruto looked at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru shrugged, then used a kunai to pry off a bit of flesh and blood from Pain's body.
Nagato did not stop him.
Next, Orochimaru used a White Zetsu that had been prepared in advance for Edo Tensei.
That's right, for today, Naruto had secretly captured several White Zetsu.
After all, White Zetsu were the best sacrifices for Edo Tensei!
Soon, the Edo Tensei version of Yahiko appeared on the scene.
When Yahiko opened his eyes, he was also stunned, "I... I'm not dead, am I?"
Seeing Yahiko, Konan and Nagato both immediately became excited.
"Huh? Nagato? Is that you, Nagato? Why have you become like this?"
Yahiko was also shocked to see the current Nagato.
Konan immediately rushed into Yahiko's arms without a word.
Jiraiya's eyes also turned a little red when he saw Yahiko, who had been brought back by Edo Tensei.
Jiraiya, who had always prided himself on being righteous, was very resistant to a Ninjutsu like Edo Tensei, but when his own loved one was brought back by Edo Tensei, his heart was stirred quite a bit.
