Chapter 6

In the blue skies, a giant ship flew at a comfortable pace while being shielded from view by the clouds. On the Maxim, Naruto sat at the edge as he meditated and controlled the wind.

Storms formed around him and the wind moved at speeds that were impossible through natural causes. It was sharp enough to cut diamond like a hot knife through buŧŧer and fast enough that even lightning would seem slower.

Naruto practiced his element to the extreme with the help of clones and Senjutsu while also training his body, which was already growing stronger with each use of sage mode.

Naruto had decided to be very harsh on himself as he knew that his last battle with Pain was a fluke, he would have lost if Pain had wanted to kill him and even then he lost.

Naruto had taken to self harm to increase his durability and healing, something he had ignored for too long.

The wind would cover him head to toe, giving him cuts everywhere and causing to him to bleed while healing slowly and through continuous practice it had increase the speed.

He could now control the wind within a large range of 20 km, shape it as he wants and strengthen it. The wind had become of a part of him and he was slowly gaining absolute mastery of the element.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw the Kingdom of Alabasta under him, it reminded him of Suna as it was the only place that he knew which exited in the desert.

'It reminds me that I haven't seen much of the world.' Naruto thought as he could only think of one place as a comparison and uplifted him to travel more, which he was going to do now as his goal need him to look far and wide.

'It really looks different from what I have known till now.' Naruto thought as he saw the buildings and the people. He was using his chakra sense to see everything beyond the range of his vision as he didn't have enough control to enhance his vision.

"That is the Capital city Alubarna, where the royalty resides and was the recent stage for conflict." Konan said as she stood behind him and Naruto just listened as he was at least a bit happy that she was doing something useful

"I hope that our trip here is fruitful." Konan muttered and Naruto felt a chill in his heart as he didn't think the kind of result she was hoping for was something he wanted

"I hope so as well." Naruto muttered as he felt the land beneath him, his sage senses covering the whole island.

'Evil exists everywhere, no matter what.' Naruto sighed as he felt disappointment once again, the world was corrupted and he was always forced to see that reality. Any hope of a pure land was pure fantasy and he didn't know if it was actually possible to change everyone.

Orochimaru was a product of his experiences and he believed what he did was right. Danzo was the same and most people are like that, they don't think are evil but the people judge them to be evil. The actions they take are logical in their minds and it is justice, and anyone against them that is evil.

'How can we come to peace when people will not always compromise? When people have their own opinions and if they act on them, it can hurt others. Majority of people are selfish, they do not consider how it affects others.

By killing someone he would cause someone to hate him. He will be a hypocrite if he killed as he would not practice what he said and he would be the same as everyone. It was the law of the Jungle and the strong made the rules, this is what he would enforce if he killed that was what Naruto believed.

Konan understood what Naruto believed in but she knew that he didn't understand that he was risking the lives of the innocents for his pride and principals when the first priority should have been saving the innocents not the wicked.

'He will soon see the cruelty of the world. He was too young to understand before and was always worrying about power but now he has the strength so he should see the bigger picture. Let me see if you will break or not.' Konan thought as she stared at Naruto while the Maxim descended, she wanted to see if he would become what Nagato wanted or will he become a Genocider.

"Ah, what a unique place." Conis commented as she looked down and saw the desert, it was her first time out of the Island and it was quite hot in here

She turned to look at Naruto and she saw that his face was expressionless, 'He is not feeling happy, something bad must have been sensed.'

Conis had become a friend to Naruto so she knew that he could sense the evil in people and it was within a large range so the only reason he would have such a face would be because of it.

"I am okay. Let's focus on our objective; it is to find any information on space time research or any old valuable data. We will need to meet the king for this so be careful." Naruto said as he looked at Conis then Konan and Enel

'While we are here, I will try to see if I can change the bandits.' Naruto thought as he looked down, his goal needed some logical support as the heart can go only so far on just belief

"Father, do you see that?" Vivi, the princess of Alabasta said in a silent tone as she stared into the sky and watched the Maxim come down

"I can see it." King Cobra answered in a calm tone as he steeled his nerves. Things had been hectic since the incident where the Kingdom was almost destroyed and now they were seeing another intruder.

'I can only hope they are not enemies.'

"Pel, go check the situation." King Cobra commanded and his loyal servant transformed into a desert eagle and flew towards the Maxim
