Chapter 727 Payne

What Heijue reported immediately caused Xiao Nan, who was still calm at first, to be thrown into chaos. He couldn't believe it was true.

Her complexion changed and she asked, "How could this be?"

The four villages of Konoha, Yunyin, Yanyin, and Shayin suddenly joined forces to go to Yuyin Village?

Although Renzhuli was plundered and the tailed beast was stolen, the lost village will definitely launch a search operation with 12 percent of its strength.

But in the recent period, due to lack of personnel, all of Xiao's actions have been suppressed and hidden in Yuyin Village, in order to avoid being noticed by these villages and follow the vine to lock on Yuyin Village.

However, the current situation seems to be different from what she imagined.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand how Yuyin was noticed by these villages.

Hei Jue stared at Xiao Nan's flustered face, without reason, and said directly: "What's going on, I'm still sending Bai Jue to investigate. However, those villages may not know Xiao Nan's details, but there is a country that does."

Xiaonan suddenly understood, and his face darkened.

"The Kingdom of Demons!"

Heijue nodded and said: "That's right, they probably released the rumors about Payne outside. And they used their intelligence system all over the ninja world to cut a wound from us, let people in several villages smell blood, and lured them here."

For such a guess, Hei definitely does not have 100% evidence, but for this kind of thing to happen suddenly, he feels that the ghost kingdom is the most suspect.

"Impossible, what is their purpose for doing this? Could it be that the kingdom of ghosts has already..."

Xiao Nan thought of something, besides the gloomy face, there was also a hint of worry.

In these years, Akatsuki has not only conspired against the tailed beasts in each ninja village, but also did not take lightly the ghost country in the west of the mainland.

On the contrary, this country is more dangerous than any other big country.

After sacrificing countless Bai Jue, Yuyin Village also collected a lot of information about the ghost country.

Started from the third Ninja World War, and then went to the kingdom of ghosts to knock on the gate of the kingdom of wind with force, and obtained the powerful cornerstone of becoming a great country. Afterwards, with the country of Waves as the test base, civil war storms began to be set off in many small countries in the ninja world, and then the purpose of remote control behind the scenes was achieved, and more land, resources, and population were involved.

And finally gathered a result - Ninja World War.

In the Fourth Ninja World War more than two years ago, the Kingdom of Demons seemed to have won a huge territory of the Land of Earth as the ending. But in Akatsuki's intelligence system, given this war, the greatest achievement of the Ghost Country is not how much land it won, but how much vital force it wiped out in each village.

In the Four Nations Alliance, more than 10,000 ninjas died in battle alone. Even after two years, these villages are still licking their wounds and have not recovered.

However, at this time, the Kingdom of Ghosts is using Akatsuki as a bait to break the existing balance. Xiaonan naturally knows what this means.

The Fifth Ninja World War.

Heijue was calmer than Xiaonan, and said: "No, it shouldn't be that time yet. If they really prepared everything, then these villages would not simply send a mission, but directly send troops to attack Yuyin and take the tail beast by force."

Xiao Nan calmed down a little when he heard what Hei Jue said.

That's right, if the Kingdom of Ghosts really wanted to break the balance, these villages wouldn't just send missions.

The reason for sending missions is that these villages are not sure about the connection between Yuyin and Xiao, and they are still in the groping stage.

"So, there is still room for maneuver?"

Xiaonan pondered for a moment.

Hei Jue's eyes were deep and deep.

"It is probably impossible. Since the Kingdom of Ghosts has decided to throw out this bait, it will not stop. The relationship between Yuyin and Akatsuki will be exposed sooner or later. The initiative cannot be handed over to the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Xiaonan nodded.

I think Hei Jue's words are justified. Being so passive all the time will only let the kingdom of ghosts reap the benefits.

"What are you going to do?"

"Nagato-sama still needs some time. Let's get rid of these villages temporarily, and also throw out some information about the kingdom of ghosts to muddy the waters in the ninja world. Next, it depends on which side of us and the kingdom of ghosts will move faster."

Heijue said so.

"Then, I will leave these matters to you. I will sit in Yuyin and dismiss the missions from the villages of Konoha."

Xiaonan divides the work.

"Be careful, don't let people like Konoha find out, they will probably be dishonest."

"Don't worry, this is Yuyin, not a place where they can run wild."

Xiaonan's tone was slightly cold.

The current Yuyin is no longer an existence that can be manipulated by villages like Konoha.

If you underestimate it, you will pay the price in blood.

Seeing this, Heijue didn't say anything, just sneaked into the floor and disappeared, as if he had never been there before, without a breath.

It was raining harder and colder outside.

A big river that runs through the forests on all sides of the Land of Fire.

There are dense jungles on both sides of the river bank, hiding all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but Zilai is also used to walking here on the ground, knocking down a huge wild boar that was unlucky to attack him, making him stunned on the ground, and decided that today's lunch is this wild boar.

But before the ingredients on the wild boar were processed, figures in the forest swished, and two figures quickly landed in front of Jiraiya.

They were dressed in Konoha Anbe costumes and animal-shaped masks on their faces, standing in front of Jiraiya.

"Master Jiraiya, this is a secret message from Master Hokage."

"Oh, is it Tsunade? Really, how come this time?"

Jilai also complained, covering his hungry stomach, and took the secret document from Anbu's hand with the other hand.

After reading the contents of the confidential document, Jiraiya frowned slightly.

"Should I represent Konoha as an envoy to Ameyin? For this kind of thing, let Amazo go. I'm not good at diplomacy."

The content on the secret document is to ask him to visit Yuyin Village on behalf of Konoha.

However, Jiraiya has always been not very interested in diplomatic matters. Although he will use the Country of Rain as an important reconnaissance location to launch operations in the future, it does not mean that he wants to enter Yuyin Village.

Judging from the information he got, there should be no connection between that organization and Yuyin.

Furthermore, because this village was once taken over by Konoha, during the period of takeover, Danzo's roots had launched a **** rule there, killing all the blood relatives of the former leader of Yuyin Hanzo, as well as Hanzo's cronies and subordinates and their families. It is said that thousands of people were directly executed at that time, and only a few lucky ones on the list escaped. It wasn't until the Kingdom of Rain regained its independence that these people dared to return to Yuyin to rectify Hanzo's name.

As a result, this led to an irreconcilable blood feud between Yu Yin and Konoha.

When I think of entering Yuyin, I will be stared coldly with hatred by countless ninjas and villagers in Yuyin, and Zirai also feels very uncomfortable.

"But, Hokage-sama..."

Anbe wanted to say something, but Jiraiya interrupted directly:

"Okay, let's just let Tianzang represent Konoha. After all, we can't focus on Yuyin. Moreover, with the assistance of other villages, Yuyin should cooperate with the action."

Jiraiya firmly refused, and handed back the secret document in his hand, so that the two Anbu had no choice but to nod, took back the secret document from Jiraiya, and went back to report to Tsunade.

Seeing the two Anbu leave, Jiraiya also heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, there are two countries he least wants to go to, one is the country of ghosts, and the other is the country of rain.

The former is where the Son of Destruction is, and the latter...is a sinful fate.

Every time he thinks of the Land of Rain, he can't help but think of the three disciples who died during the war.

It seems that their smiling faces are still like holy flowers that bloomed yesterday, and then they were ruthlessly destroyed by the flames of war, and became victims of the game of great powers.

Even the son of the prophecy that he had placed high hopes on and regarded as able to realize peace in the ninja world died young in the flames of war.

"War..."

Ji Lai also felt depressed in his heart.

It's too late to say anything now.

Now the only one who can save this ninja world is the new Son of Prophecy, who is also the last savior of the world.

Located in the rainy village, surrounded by vast inland lakes.

At first glance, it looks like a huge city built on the water.

The rusty steel tower in the rain stands upright in the wind and rain, straight as a spear, and looks like a jungle made of steel from a distance.

The heavy industrial atmosphere has played up the village at some point.

The village that was originally under the rule of Konoha Scarlet has already resumed production. Various shops are arranged in an orderly manner. On the tall steel buildings, there are huge electronic screens playing old advertisements.

Different from the newness of the Ghost Country, the industrial equipment in this country is filled with an old atmosphere.

Especially under the blanket of rain, there is a tragic and desolate atmosphere surrounding this place.

Maybe the road surface has been effectively opened, and there are many pedestrians on the road. Although it may not be very prosperous, it also has a warm feeling of being rich and peaceful.

The missions from several villages in Konoha, received by a ninja from Yuyin, were introduced into Yuyin Village and went to the high tower in the center of Yuyinthat is, the entire Yuyin Village and even the highest administrative region of Rain Country.

The envoys passing by looked at this village that had been devastated in the flames of war. However, at this time, the traces of being burned by the flames of war have long since dissipated, and everyone can feel the peaceful atmosphere in the village.

And whether it is a residential house or a shop, there are sunny dolls made of white paper.

Thinking that the Land of Rain is a country with perennial rainfall, and there are few sunny days in a year, the messengers didn't take it seriously.

"Speaking of which, I have occasionally heard people say that Yuyin Village will have a sunny day every weekend. Is this true?"

A ninja from Sand Hidden asked with a smile to Kami Shinobu, who was leading the way.

Amegashi Jnin, who led the way, also smiled in a 'friendly' way, which was a bit forced no matter how you looked at it.

"Yes, this is a miracle performed by Master Payne. He will block the rainwater above the village every weekend, and break the dark clouds, allowing the sun to shine into the village."

This is actually not a miracle in Yuyin Village.

Even outsiders who come to Yuyin Village can see such a shocking scene on the weekend, and feel that it is the omnipotent **** descending from the earth.

"Really? In other words, so many sunny dolls, are you also arranged by Mr. Payne?"

The ninja from Iwahime asked, without much respect in his tone.

Amein Jnin still only forced a smile, and replied: "No, that's something made by the gods."

Angel?

The ninjas in several villages raised their brows when they heard this.

Some people sneered. Does the leader of this village really regard himself as a 'god'? Even the angels were brought out.

However, after all, this is a matter of other villages. As envoys, they have more important things to do, and they will not criticize this kind of matter. At most, they are disdainful and ridiculed.

Tianzo, who was in the messenger group, came on behalf of Konoha. He didn't put on a disdainful face like other villages. Although he felt that the ninjas of Yuyin Village were rare, but no matter what, it would be better to have less friction.

Yuyin Village is an extremely xenophobic village. The migrants in this village are basically from the Country of Rain, and they rarely see people from other places coming here. Just like Wuyin, they implement a closed-off policy of 'locking the country'.

In the past, Konoha also sent people to test this village, but every time they got nothing useful. I also thought about forming an alliance with this neighbor, but considering that during the Third Ninja World War, Konoha had betrayed Yuyin once, and the root of Danzo is still implementing the **** rule here, so there has been no progress in re-aligning the alliance.

"However, this feeling..."

Tianzang subconsciously stretched out his palm under the raincoat, letting the rain fall into his palm.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the weight of rainwater in Yuyin Village is a bit unusual, and I feel like I'm being stared at.

But the next moment, this feeling disappeared again, as if it had never existed.

Thus, Tianzang looked up at the sky above Yuyin Village. It was still daytime, but the weather above Yuyin Village was very dark. The clouds looked like a huge vortex, and the center was a mass of darkness, like an abyss.

What exactly is this? Illusion? Tianzang felt a little confused for a while.

A sense of depression from nowhere, made him unable to breathe.

However, he didn't notice any abnormalities, so he could only define this feeling as the fact that he was too tired recently, so he had abnormal hallucinations.

"Everyone, this is it. Next, please send one person from each village to follow me to see Master Payne."

Ameyin Jnin stopped in front of the entrance of a high tower, turned around and stared at the envoys from the four villages.

Each village has about seven or eight envoys, totaling more than thirty people.

But there was only one leader.

That is to say, only four people are allowed to enter and visit.

Tianzang and other leaders of several villages looked at each other, then nodded, turned their heads and said a few words to the people behind them, asking them to stay and wait for the result, and the four of them can just go in.

Thus, Tianzang and other four envoys followed Ameyin Jnin into the tower. In the corridor, everyone lifted the raincoat hats on their heads, untied the raincoats, put them on the hangers prepared at the side, and followed them lightly.

Although the high-tower building looks like an industrial building on the outside, there are no elevators installed inside, and you can only walk up through the stairs.

The people who followed were not at all impatient, and no one happened. As a result, there were only footsteps in the corridor, making this space extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of the rain outside could not be heard.

I don't know how long I walked on the long corridor, and finally, under the leadership of Amane Jonobu, I reached the end of the high-rise.

Then there was a straight passage with closed doors on both sides. There were dim incandescent lamps installed on the ceiling of the corridor. Some of them seemed to have not been replaced for a long time and began to flicker. At the end of the road is a door leading to the unknown.

Yamyin Jominin walked to the end, knelt down, and gently opened the door to reveal the scene inside.

There is also a box-like room within a house. The overall frame is made of wood, pasted with translucent paper. There are oil lamps inside, which can be seen clearly. A figure is like a fierce warrior, sitting in it, and the outline of the other party can be vaguely seen.

A group of Yuyin ninjas are arranged around the 'square', and the corner of the wall is also occupied by the figures of Yuyin ninjas.

It means that the interviewed messengers will be seen clearly by the rain hidden ninja before and after, and they cannot make some small movements.

Samurai? Through the shiny wallpaper, Tianzang saw the burly figure of 'Fang Fang'.

According to some information he got, the current leader of Yuyin, Payne, is known as the successor of Sanjiao Hanzo.

As the former leader of Yuyin, Sanshoyu Hanzo is a ninja with superb swordsmanship, almost the best in the ninja world.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the current leader, Payne, received everyone in the posture of a warrior.

But, who is the other party?

In the ninja world, there are many ninjas who know sword skills, but ninjas who are really good at sword skills are actually very limited.

Since the opponent is the successor of Hanzo's will, it will definitely not be easy when it comes to swordsmanship.

Thousands of thoughts were in his mind, but Tianzang still couldn't know what the other party's true identity was.

Mysterious and powerful, such an impression was subconsciously engraved in Tianzang's mind and could not be eliminated.

"Please sit down, the old man feels a little unwell, so I can't come out to meet you in person."

The figure in the wallpaper made a light coughing sound. The voice was old and thick, and there seemed to be signs of deliberate modification.

All of a sudden let everyone abandon the inherent impression that the other party is an old man.

The voices are deliberately faked, and maybe even the people have been modified by the transfiguration technique, which means that the people who are separated from them by a wall are male or female, old or young, it is possible.

Tianzang and the others felt a little displeased, but they still obeyed the order honestly and sat cross-legged on the prepared cushion.

There is no light in the room, only an old oil lamp burning, bringing light.

Above the roof, there is an invisible darkness, bottomless.

"Your Excellency Payne, we are here this time to borrow Yuyin's power and obtain Yuyin's permission to assist us in searching for a group of dangerous international criminals in the Kingdom of Rain. I don't know if Yuyin can..."

The first person who couldn't bear it was Yunyin's messenger. He went straight to the point and stated the purpose of this trip.

"The Hokage of Konoha has already greeted the old man in advance. The old man has also heard a little about the dangerous organization that kidnaps the tailed beasts of various countries. However, I want to know, how did you determine that the members of that organization took root in the Land of Rain under the jurisdiction of the old man?"

Across the wallpaper, came the suspicious voice of the man, puzzled by this.

Tianzang replied: "In the beginning, one of our Konoha Sannin, Jiraiysama, was the first to obtain this information. Later, after repeated investigations in our villages, we found some suspicious traces in the land of the rain. Of course, we do not suspect that Yuyin has colluded with that organization, and we hope to forgive him for any offences."

"Sannin Ziraiya, whose name is also known to the old man. With his verification, this news is probably true. It's just that the old man really didn't expect that in the rainy country under the old man's jurisdiction, there would be such a group of dangerous people, and you would also be involved..."

As he spoke, he continued to cough a few more times.

Immediately, he changed the topic:

"However, this matter has a lot to do with it. Based on the words of your family alone, I can't make a decision immediately. How about you go back first, and the old man will hold a Jnin meeting in the village and then vote. If the vote is passed, you will be notified to each village, and then your villages can..."

Just halfway through his words, he was interrupted by an angry voice:

"Bastard! I don't have time to wait until you slowly hold a jnin meeting before taking action. Moreover, I didn't come to listen to your whining here, but just to inform you about this matter. Whether you agree or not, we Yunyin don't need your Yuyin's consent!"

The one who stood up was Yunyin Emissary. When he said these words, a powerful chakra erupted from his body, tearing the floor under his feet.

Seeing the figure on the opposite side of the wallpaper fell silent, the messenger Yunyin immediately snorted coldly, kicked his feet, his legs were covered with lightning, and rushed forward, clenching his fists hard, regardless of the eyes of the surrounding Yuyin ninjas who began to become unkind.

Facing Yunyin Ninja's sudden difficulties, the envoys from the three villages including Tianzang did not stop them.

In other words, everything that is happening right now is something they have arranged in advance. If the other party delays or disagrees, take another way to reach a 'cooperation' and test this Yuyin's 'God'.

However, what responded to the Emissary Yunyin was a stronger chakra, like a surging tsunami, bursting out with force like a torrent in an instant, crushing the aura of the Emissary Yunyin who was attacking, instantly crushing it without a trace.

Emissary Yunyin froze, sweating like rain, as if seeing something terrible at that moment, the muscles on his face twisted tightly together, snot and tears flowed out indiscriminately, showing an extremely ugly posture.

This terrifying chakra like a torrent came quickly, and a piece of it dissipated, as if it had never appeared before, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, the cold feeling of death at that moment was clearly imprinted in the minds of Tianzang and other envoys from the four villages, and could not be eliminated.

The muscles of the whole body began to tense. Although it was not as unbearable as facing the huge and terrifying Yun Yin Emissary, it also made their spines chill, and they froze in place, unable to move.

In the torrent of chakra mixed with boundless murderous intent, they saw a fantasy like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The head will be separated in the next moment, and it will be like falling in a pool of blood.

"The old man is tired, everyone please go back. Cough cough."

When the old and weak words came, Tianzang and the other four walked out of the door like puppets on a string.

When they walked out of the scary room behind them, they came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and looked at each other.

A wordless horror weighed heavily on their hearts.
