Washed Ashore

After shattering the Tailed Beast Ball, Nagasawa did not give Ten-Tails' pseudo-Jinchuriki any time to react. He quickly punched again with Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability.

The air shook!

Crack! Crack!

It was as if the air around the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path cracked.

Boom!!

A huge explosion sounded. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path exploded into countless red dots of light before vanishing into the air, leaving behind only the devastated land.

The collision between Tailed Beast Ball and quake force caused an explosion that almost covered a thousand meters around them. The ground collapsed, and the plants turned into ashes.

The damage caused by the explosion was even more severe than the destruction caused by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path absorbing the earth's life force.

Luckily Nagasawa had Color of Arms Haki to protect himself from the direct collision, as most people would've either dodged it or changed its trajectory.

Facing it head-on was an irrational choice because even though the Tailed Beast Ball looked powerful, a fast Shinobi could easily dodge it.

Therefore, even though the Tailed Beast Ball was powerful, it didn't actually pose a threat to skilled Shinobis unless it was controlled.

"Wind Release: Breakthrough."

Nagasawa expelled a gust of wind, blowing away the dust and smoke from the explosion, and walked towards Tsukuyakawa.

At this time, Tsukuyakawa was no longer as spunky as when he first met Nagasawa. His hair had turned gray somehow, and there were many wrinkles on his face, as if he had aged in a matter of seconds.

Tsukuyakawa woke up when Nagasawa destroyed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Looking at the devastating scene around him, Tsukuyakawa should be very excited. After all, although the damage to the surrounding wasn't that bad, it was a big step to show pain to this world.

But for some reason, Tsukuyakawa did not feel the slightest pleasure. He only felt empty inside.

He even gave up resisting and ignored the approaching Nagasawa. He just sat quietly while seemingly lost in thought.

"You lost." Nagasawa declared the winner.

"Yes, I lost. Kill me. There is nothing worth remembering in this unfair world," Tsukuyakawa said calmly.

Apart from the eight years he spent with his mother, his life for the next 32 years was for the sake of revenge.

"Don't you have any memories about the Golden Organization you created? It must have taken a lot of effort." Nagasawa asked.

"It's just a tool for me to take revenge on the world. There's nothing worth remembering." Tsukuyakawa said with an expressionless face.

"What kind of deal do you have with Danzo?" Nagasawa remembered about the team that Danzo had sent, so he asked,

"I gave him money and ninja tools, and he helps us out. It's that simple." Tsukuyakawa replied.

Fortunately, he was decisive enough to leave Danzo's Shinobi behind. Otherwise, Golden Organization would know that they were coming.

However, Danzo sure was useless. He asked for so much money from the village and made a lot of extra money outside the village, but he could not provide anything useful to Konoha.

"Are you done asking? Kill me and let these cursed eyes disappear for good from this world." Tsukuyakawa said in a low voice.

Because of his red eyes, he endured too many hardships. Now, his death would at least completely end the red eyes.

Nagasawa glanced at Tsukuyakawa indifferently and said, "Cursed eye? Red eye? You're not the only one in the world who has red eyes, right?"

If he remembered correctly, Land of Rivers would have a little boy that possessed the same eye in the future.

Since that little boy had red eyes, his father or mother should also have the potential to awaken those eyes, but they didn't manage to awaken them.

"No one else has these eyes. I searched the entire Shinobi Realm through the power of the Golden Organization, but I did not find any news about red eyes. The Ninja Realm has already forgotten this Bloodline Limit." Tsukuyakawa immediately ruled out the possibility.

He once hoped that a fellow clansman would appear.

However, even after spending a lot of manpower and resources, he still couldn't find anyone with red eyes. He only found some historical legends about red eyes.

"Do you think Golden Organization holds a candle to Konoha?" Nagasawa mocked.

Tsukuyakawa was silent. Compared to Konoha, Golden Organization was obviously not on the same level.

"It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with me." Tsukuyakawa shook his head.

He was going to die, so why should he care about that?

"I don't want to kill you, but I want your Golden Organization to work for Konoha in the future." Nagasawa smiled.

Since he didn't learn anything from the Golden Organization, he might as well recruit them.

This was a crucial and necessary matter.

Because this involved Nagasawa's plan to change the country - Shinobi Village relationship.

At present, Shinobi Village couldn't function without money from the country. The missions from the merchant barely gave any money. The money from Daimyo was their main source of funds.

Perhaps some people would say that Shinobi was so strong, so wouldn't it be fine to rob money from the Daimyo?

That was indeed an option, but the order of the entire Shinobi World would collapse, and ordinary people go through hell.

If Five Great Shinobi Countries robbed money from whomever they saw fit, what would the remaining small villages, Shinobi organizations, and even some rogue Shinobi do?

This was not the situation that Nagasawa wanted to see, so he needed Golden Organization. Although Golden Organization was not strong, it had a wide range of business.

They couldn't necessarily replace the money from Daimyo, but at least they wouldn't be as dependent on Daimyo's funds like now.

"Haha." Tsukuyakawa sneered and did not speak, but his expression clearly told Nagasawa that it was impossible to threaten to kill him.

Was he the kind of person who was afraid of death? He was never afraid of death. He was only afraid that he would die before taking revenge on the world.

Looking at Tsukuyakawa, who was already determined to die, Nagasawa had no choice but to prepare to use the strongest technique, the lecturing technique.

"You said that the world is unfair, but since you know that the world is unfair, why don't you try to change it? Why do you have to take revenge on the world and create more misfortunes? Just because you went through misfortune, you have to bring misfortune to others. Have you ever thought that this was the reason you went through a bitter experience? Hatred will only give birth to more hatred. Rather than dwelling on the past, it is better to cherish the people who care about you now."

After saying that, Nagasawa pointed toward Golden Organization's base. There was a group of people rushing over.

Tsukuyakawa, who was stunned by Nagasawa's series of words, subconsciously looked over.

Although he was far away, his red eyes could see clearly.

"What a bunch of fools. They're just my tools."
