Chapter 248: Rain Stops, Clouds Disperse
Outside the Rain Village.
Konan and Alex walked slowly on the sea surface, with Kaguya Otsutsuki following silently behind.
She looked down at the slightly undulating waves beneath her feet. Even though she had no power and was no different from an ordinary person, logically she shouldn't be able to walk safely on the water surface. But with every step forward, her feet felt no different than stepping on flat ground.
She stared at the two backs in front of her. Presumably, one of them was doing this with some kind of method.
But... Kaguya wiped the rain from her face, finding it somewhat hard to understand. Did these two guys have some fetish for walking in the rain? And walking so slowly??
Obviously, they could reach the Rain Village at the end of their vision in an instant, yet they insisted on walking slowly in the rain??
Incomprehensible...
Kaguya's silver-white long hair was soaked, feeling somewhat heavy. The Akatsuki robe on her body was also soaked through. It clung tightly to her body; the fabric over her chest was especially tight, outlining a devilish figure, full of wet allure.
Like her, there was Konan.
Alex walked beside her, looking sideways slightly. The peaks traversing mid-air were very eye-catching. This scene of being drenched by rain reminded him of the first day of his transmigration, the battle between Konan and Obito here. Also drenched by rain, clothes clinging to skin, full of temptation...
Only there was an obvious change. That is, her bosom was even more magnificent.
Alex was proud inside; this was his credit. All along, he had tirelessly performed ancient massage techniques on Konan almost every day, resulting in the current scale.
He glanced at Kaguya behind him out of the corner of his eye. She was fairly well-behaved and didn't cause trouble. Although she had schemes deep in her heart, they were childish enough to be laughable.
As expected of the Otsutsuki 'Silly Sweet'.
He looked forward to the day she would turn over and become the master...
"Konan." Alex pointed to the sea surface on the left, breaking the silence. "Remember? That's where you fought Obito Uchiha..."
Six hundred billion explosive tags detonating together. The entire sea surface was parted. Obito was calculated and fell into it, with explosive tags piled up like giant mountains on both sides. Then a massive explosion...
That scene, that scale, was secretly staggering even when recalled now. Fresh in his memory.
Konan looked in the direction of the sound. Under the dim light, that sea area was no different from the one before her eyes. Even though there had been that earth-shattering explosion, it had eventually returned to its original state.
Sure enough... time would smooth over everything...
Her fate had been changed by Alex starting from that battle.
Konan exerted slight force, tightening her grip on Alex's left hand, and whispered, "Alex, it's so good to have you."
If not for Alex, she would inevitably have been defeated by Obito Uchiha that day. Dying with a chest full of regret and pain.
Alex turned to meet Konan's gaze. Their pupils reflected each other's similar faces. The surrounding air seemed to become sweet.
Kaguya looked at the two, very speechless. She didn't understand why, being such strong individuals, they still indulged in primitive human romance. She had never been in love, nor did she want to be.
The Otsutsuki clan worshipped power above all else. Nothing and no one compared to the pursuit of power. The clan had always been cold, with no warmth to speak of. Everyone's emotions were very indifferent. Reproduction? That was just to maintain the continuation of the species. They wouldn't have a romance specifically for that...
Kaguya's mind suddenly moved.
Should I pretend to be a girl in love... gain trust, take back my power, and then ambush them to completely turn the tables and become the master?
She considered herself talented in the way of sneak attacks. After all, back then, with power far weaker than Isshiki Otsutsuki, she had managed to ambush and nearly kill that terrifying guy. If she could regain part of the Bloodline Encompassing (Kekkai Mōra) power, with calculation against lack of preparation, the success rate of a sneak attack would definitely be over 90%.
Hahaha...
Alex and Konan's eyes met, both seeing the smile in the other's eyes. They were amused by Kaguya's thoughts behind them.
The Tenseigan's mental sphere had penetrated deep into her body and soul. It transmitted her thinking and ideas back in real-time. In front of them, Kaguya's mind was transparent.
Just this... and she wanted to pretend to be a girl in love, gain trust, and ambush? In the end, she would probably give herself away for free, losing everything...
Alex and Konan shook their heads and smiled amidst Kaguya's puzzled gaze. She had no idea why they were laughing.
The three continued towards the Rain Village.
The sky brightened slightly; morning had arrived. The Fourth Great Ninja War of last night had completely come to an end.
Alex could sense that his teleportation papers had all activated. All the ninjas on that battlefield had been brought back to their respective villages by Hinata, Shion, and the others.
He looked up at the heavy dark clouds in the sky. The drizzling rain pattered on his face, bringing a bit of coolness. Even though it was dawn and the sun rose slowly from the horizon, the light remained very dim due to the cloud cover.
Konan also looked up at the sky, murmuring softly: "The rain in the Rain Village... the Land of Rain... has fallen for too long..."
"From the day I have memories as a child, it has been raining, raining, without beginning or end."
She spread her palm, and rainwater quickly gathered into a small puddle.
"Yahiko once said that the Land of Rain, always shrouded in rain, represents the country weeping; weeping for the civilians living in the Land of Rain who are always in turmoil..."
Uh... Alex nodded silently.
The Land of Rain is crying... It certainly sounded like something that chuunibyou boy Yahiko would say.
"This rain..." Konan reached out her right hand toward the sky. "It's time for it to stop..."
The blue starry sea in her eyes swirled—Tenseigan activated!
Her forehead split open—Rinne Sharingan activated synchronously!
As soon as her voice fell, it was like the law following her speech. Power comparable to a god swept across the sky.
The dark clouds directly above dissipated, then spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. All dark clouds along the way vanished rapidly like snow under a blazing sun. The light of the morning sun shone down without obstruction.
Finally, it illuminated this land from which it had been separated for who knows how many years. The dim sea surface instantly became bright. The haze was dispelled, adding another kind of vitality.
Is this forcibly changing the celestial phenomena with the Bloodline Encompassing and those blue eyes...
Kaguya stared blankly at the sky. Such power and method were far stronger than herself, who was called the Rabbit Goddess back then...
The terrifying fluctuation of power erupted by Konan gradually subsided. All the dark clouds over the Rain Village and the Land of Rain collapsed. People living on this land could finally live under the sun...
She used extremely domineering power to change the atmospheric circulation. From now on, the excess moisture of the Land of Rain would be transported to the Land of Wind, improving the dry climate there.
Hmm?
Alex paused, reaching out toward a certain part of the sea. A slight suction force erupted, and a small black fish was sucked out of the sea with a plop. Suspended in mid-air, it was waving its tail and struggling ceaselessly.
"Haha..." He laughed happily. "This can count as your good fortune..."
Alex perceived slight chakra inside this little black fish. Even more ridiculously, there were White Zetsu cells... This was the little black fish that had swallowed one of Obito's eggs!
He didn't expect to meet it again, and it vaguely showed a trend toward developing into a summon beast.
"Meeting is fate... stay alive..."
Alex sighed with emotion and injected a little power into the little black fish's body. Then he released control, and it fell into the water with a splash. It swam down rapidly, disappearing from sight.
Next time they met, perhaps it would have gained wisdom and become a summon beast...
