The Ninja Continent was not large; after all, the four largest landmasses were occupied by four of the Five Great Nations.
In the original story, at the beginning of Shippuden, it only took Team 7 one day to travel from Konohagakure in the Land of Fire to Sunagakure in the Land of Wind to rescue Gaara.
A ninja's Shunshin no Jutsu was on a completely different level of speed compared to Shirahoshi soaring through the clouds.
In just a few hours, Shirahoshi carried Yami to the Land of Rain.
Because they were flying through the clouds, looking down from Yami and Shirahoshi's perspective, they could see the Land of Rain shrouded in dark clouds.
Especially above Amegakure, the dark clouds contained flowing energy.
This energy was very similar to Haki, but it belonged to a different power system.
Shirahoshi, having seen the memories of the Konoha ninja, knew that this energy should be the Chakra of this world.
As a transmigrator, Yami was even clearer about it. The Chakra contained within the dark clouds above Amegakure was actually a sensory technique named... Ukojizai no Jutsu!
Ukojizai no Jutsu was one of the basic abilities of the Rinnegan. It involved creating rain clouds with Chakra and then infusing Chakra into the falling rain. Every drop of water was closely connected to the Deva Path Pain, or rather, to Nagato.
The existence of anyone touched by the rain would be known by Nagato.
In the original story, Jiraiya used a toad to infiltrate Amegakure, which was a very clever method of infiltration.
Unfortunately, the moment he emerged from the toad's mouth, he was detected by Nagato.
In the Naruto World, Ukojizai no Jutsu was one of the highest-level sensory techniques.
However, compared to Yami's Glare-Glare Fruit, this technique wasn't even worth mentioning.
Yami discovered a new ability of his Observation Haki: it turned out that Observation Haki, like the three great Dojutsu of this world, could sense the existence of Chakra.
"Shirahoshi, release a Bolo Breath at that building. Let's say hello to the temporary strongest of this era!"
As the pink giant dragon circled above the rain clouds, Yami suddenly pointed to a location and smiled at Shirahoshi.
"Yes, Lord Yami."
Having been by Yami's side since childhood and subjected to brainwashing-style education by Carina, Nami, and Robin, as well as being completely obedient to Yami, Shirahoshi's worldview had changed. She no longer possessed that foolish kindness.
Hody Jones, who assassinated Otohime, had long been executed by the Ryugu Kingdom.
Now, upon hearing Yami's command, Shirahoshi immediately opened her massive dragon mouth, gathered a huge ball of fiery light, and then spat a gigantic orange pillar of fire towards the pitch-black, heavy rain clouds below.
The pillar of fire instantly pierced through the rain clouds, blasting a huge hole, and then shot violently towards a steel-like building with undiminished power.
Boom—
The pillar of fire accurately hit the steel building.
In an instant, a huge hole was blasted into the building as well, and all the steel was burned red-hot and melted.
Everyone inside the building, except for two people, was instantly vaporized and departed from this world.
As for the two who didn't die, they were a man and a woman, wearing matching black cloaks embroidered with red clouds.
The man was emaciated, his body pierced with black rods that received Chakra. His lower body was embedded in a special device, making it look like he was sitting in a wheelchair.
The woman had light purple short hair and wore a light blue paper flower in her hair.
This man and woman were Nagato and Konan.
That's right, the one Yami had Shirahoshi attack was not the Deva Path Pain, but Nagato, who controlled the Six Paths of Pain.
Although caught in a surprise attack, Nagato was, after all, currently the strongest in this era.
When the explosion of the Bolo Breath spread, Nagato used repulsion in time to protect himself and Konan.
Then, he used gravitational force to carry himself and Konan as they floated down.
"That... what is that?!"
"A dragon? Does a creature like a dragon actually exist in this world?!"
At this moment, the faces of Konan and Nagato were filled with horror and shock.
There was no helping it; from their perspective, the scene before them was too terrifying.
Looking up, they saw a huge hole appear in the dark clouds in the sky.
Inside the hole, a pink giant dragon, hundreds of meters long, was swaying its body.
This scene of a myth manifesting in reality instantly shattered Nagato and Konan's worldview.
To them, the Gedo Statue was already massive enough.
But compared to the pink giant dragon Shirahoshi had transformed into, the Gedo Statue was simply too small.
At this moment, the pink giant dragon suddenly passed through the hole and flew down above Amegakure.
A scene that shocked Nagato and Konan even more appeared.
They saw a figure actually standing on the head of that pink giant dragon.
What did this mean?
It meant this giant dragon was tamed!
And who on earth was the person who tamed the dragon?
While Nagato and Konan were tense all over, guessing who the dragon tamer was, the man standing on the dragon's head suddenly raised his hand and condensed a transparent white dome of light.
The next second, the man waved his hand gently, and the dome of light disappeared.
But just as Observation Haki could sense the existence of Chakra, Nagato's supreme Dojutsu could also see that the transparent white dome didn't actually disappear; it had instantly expanded to cover the entire Amegakure.
Immediately after, Nagato and Konan's expressions changed drastically.
They saw something that looked like a giant stone statue, but was actually a giant wooden statue, appear out of thin air above Amegakure, suspended in front of the pink giant dragon and the man.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu—"
Seeing the Gedo Statue being transferred from underground to the air, Nagato immediately understood the opponent's goal. He hurriedly formed hand seals, intending to use Kuchiyose no Jutsu to snatch the Gedo Statue back.
Unfortunately, he was a step too slow.
Before Nagato could complete the hand seals, Yami reached out and touched the Gedo Statue.
With all Chakra extracted and no Tailed Beasts currently reclaimed, the Gedo Statue was just a dead husk, fitting the storage conditions of the Spatial Backpack.
Therefore, this husk of the Ten-Tails was directly stored into the Spatial Backpack by Yami.
"It actually worked!"
Yami was also very surprised by this.
He had only meant to try it out, but he didn't expect it to actually succeed.
Others might not know, but Yami knew that inside the Gedo Statue, there were one hundred thousand White Zetsu.
It seemed that in the System's judgment, the one hundred thousand White Zetsu transformed from humans did not count as living things, existing much like clone soldiers and cyborgs.
