[Naruto·Itachi BG] Reverse Black and White II

It rains all year round in Yuyin Village, and the clouds are often thick all day long, so there is no sunlight. Coupled with the towering and rough steel tower-like buildings and the stretched large drainage pipes, it creates a damp, depressing and decadent atmosphere.

Itachi stepped out of the rain and looked at the tall tower in front of him in silence. The continuous rain for many days has caused the water levels in inland lakes and pools to rise a lot. Along the way, even if the chakra can allow ninjas to walk on the water, the coldness and dampness still linger like gangrene on the bones. It won’t go away.

He doesn't like Yuyin Village.

The torrential rain washes away all the filth in the world, but it still cannot wash away the greed and filth deep in human nature.

"Itachi-san, what are you looking at?" Kisame saw him standing still in the rain for a long time, as if he had turned into a sculpture soaked in the wind and rain, and finally couldn't bear to persuade him, "Being exposed to the rain is not good for your health."

Itachi didn't seem to notice, the rain slowly rolled down along the bamboo hat, melted into the surrounding rain curtain, and disappeared without a trace.

"Speaking of which, the weather in Amegakure Village is really bad..." Kisame didn't care much about Itachi's disregard, and kept talking to himself, "It's been raining all day long, it's wet, and there's even fog. Yindu is drier than here, let alone Konoha! I don’t know what the boss is thinking, and he won’t move..."

"Kissame," Itachi said silently, interrupting Kisame's chatter, glanced at him calmly, and said calmly, "Let's go." After that, he walked up to the tower.

Watching Itachi leave alone, Kisame snorted softly: "Oh, it's true..." Then he complained, but there was no hint of displeasure in his tone, and then followed Itachi's pace.

The unique architectural design of Yuyin Village prevents any rainwater from pouring into the tower. The evening breeze brings a musty smell that lingers in your nose. Itachi and Kisame climbed up the spiral staircase built along the wall of the tower. The red clouds and black cloaks were soaked by the rain, leaving a deep and shallow trail of water wherever they passed, dripping all the way to the tower. The top is not completely dry either.

Payne sat in front of the large bay window, leaning against the window frame casually, looking at the jagged buildings looming behind the rain and fog, wondering what he was thinking about. Xiaonan stood quietly beside him, accompanying him silently, like the stone sculpture of a holy angel hidden in the shadow of the dome pillars in the church, silently and tolerantly spreading its wings of protection, praying devoutly to the gods.

After an unknown amount of time, he moved slightly and glanced sideways at the entrance. The light and shadow flickered, reflecting two tall figures approaching one after another. No movement in Yuyin Village can escape Payne's perception, every flower, every tree, every thing.

Here, he is the God who dominates everything.

"Coming?" Seeing the two figures getting closer, he spoke slowly, his tone without any fluctuation, like a high and impartial god.

Itachi walked out of the shadows outside the door, nodded to Payne in greeting, walked forward, handed a scroll into his hand, and summed it up succinctly in a business-like tone: "It's clear. , this rebellion by the remnants of Sanshouyu Hanzo has "roots" behind it. They launched a feint attack on Yuyin Village from east to west, while the real main force went to the country of Kawakawa. The target is probably the headquarters of "Akatsuki". "

Payne glanced through Itachi's report and asked without raising his head: "Who is in the base now?"

Xiaonan glanced at Payne, then looked away again, and replied calmly: "They're all out. The only ones left behind are A Fei, Jue, and Feng Lan."

Lightning struck in the sky, making Itachi's face turn pale for a moment; in the backlight, Payne's expression became even more dark and unpredictable, leaving only a pair of reincarnation eyes that were piercing and terrifying. The thunder exploded, shaking people's hearts to the point of the earth shattering.

After the roar, there was an eerie silence that could be heard as a needle dropped. The wet rainwater was still dripping, forming a dark circle under Itachi's body, but he couldn't take even half a step out of it. He could only watch as he drew the ground into a prison and trapped himself in a cocoon.

Seeing no one spoke, Xiaonan broke the deadlock and said: "Jue and A Fei can't help. The only real combat power is Feng Lan. It would be a bit difficult for her to deal with "Gen" and the remnants of Sansho Hanzo alone." …”

Forget it if you can't help, as long as you don't fish in troubled waters and hurt others, thank God!

Itachi squeezed his hands tightly in his wide sleeves quietly.

"Oh? Didn't you hear?" Kisame had suffered many losses at the hands of Feng Lan, so he would not let go of the opportunity to bury her. "Uchiha Feng Lan had half a bloodbath before defecting to Konoha. At the "root" level, they can be considered old acquaintances. If they really know each other and know themselves and the enemy, and fight equally, it will definitely not be a problem to survive until rescue arrives..."

Just as he was talking excitedly, he turned around and saw Itachi's expression lowered and his chin slightly raised. Suddenly, thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he had no choice but to swallow them all.

"The "root" is prepared, and I'm afraid it won't be good. "Itachi's tone was calm, as concise and clear as every speech he made in the organization, "Since we have already participated in this matter, let Kisame and I go back to support. "

Both inside and outside his words, he rarely revealed some enthusiasm for the mission. After hearing this, Payne's tense expression relaxed slightly, but his words clearly meant rejection: "No need. Their actions have already been taken. As I expected. It's too late for you to rush back now. The Sapphire Group was near the base before, and I have already sent them back." The purple Rinnegan stared at Itachi intently, as if he wanted to see the mottled spots under his calm mask. Crack said, "I will go back after cleaning up here. After all, she is not the only one in the base."

To his disappointment, Itachi didn't express too much. He just nodded slightly to show that he had no objection.

Itachi knew very well that since Pain had made arrangements in advance, he still told him that Feng Lan was at the headquarters and deliberately emphasized that the headquarters was short of manpower, just to test him. It was also his fault that he didn't calm down and let Payne test out his true thoughts. Now that you have made a mistake, no matter what you try to do to make up for it, it is just trying to hide it. It is better to face it calmly.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first." Just like when he came, Itachi nodded to Payne, said "goodbye" and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." The moment before Itachi took a step, Pain suddenly stopped him, "Since you are here, just complete this task." After that, he threw a scroll to Itachi.

Itachi caught the scroll, opened it and glanced at it without comment, then handed the mission sheet to Kisame with an expressionless face.

After Kisame took the scroll from Itachi's hand, he glanced at it hastily, and his eyes suddenly stopped. He looked back and forth several times to make sure that he was not dazzled. He raised his head and twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "What kind of mission is this?! Handling supernatural events! ?!”

As a ninja, you are likely to encounter any kind of weird missions. Although missions such as "supernatural events" do not occur very frequently, they are not unheard of. However, based on Kisame's past experience in Kirigakure, the final investigation result of the so-called "supernatural incident" was that either the pen was broken, the wires were old and had poor contact, or the love-starved naughty boy was pretending to be possessed by a spirit. To win the attention of parents... In short, those who issue such a commission are not just stupid people with lots of money, but many people with money are stupid. If you are really assigned to this kind of task, in a nutshell, you will win the jackpot and earn money for nothing!

Generally speaking, ninjas are fine, but they have reached the "Akatsuki" level, and they still deal with "supernatural incidents" that are not even as good as D-level commissions. This is a bit hard to explain.

At that time, Kisame never thought that after so many years of cracking down on counterfeit goods, he would actually find a genuine product this time.

"The client has given me a lot of compensation, so you just need to pay a visit. It's up to you how to deal with it." Pain seemed to have the same idea as Kisame, and his tone was perfunctory.

There is no way, the world is big and the funder is the biggest!

So, Itachi and Kisame, who received Pain's instructions, embarked on a journey to become workers and headed for the stars and the sea.

The person who issued this mission was the side chamber of the Daimyo of Kawanoguni. This young concubine was born in a small village in the Kingdom of Sichuan, Kunyuan Village. By chance, he was selected by the daimyo of the Kingdom of Sichuan and brought back. A few days ago, this concubine gave birth to his only son to the daimyo who was in his late twenties. Since then, the mother has become more favored than before, and her status has skyrocketed. When the concubine was enjoying her life, bad news suddenly came to her: her great-grandfather, the village chief who raised her single-handedly, died unexpectedly after a stroke and a fall.

The daimyo's wife, who was kind-hearted and sentimental, cried so much that it made the daimyo's heart ache. She immediately rewarded her with countless rare treasures.

But gradually, the side roommate couldn't even cry anymore. News came from her mother's house that since her great-grandfather passed away, strange things have been happening in the village, and several people have died. In their words, it seemed that they had accidentally touched a taboo that had been spread in the village, and they were afraid that a disaster would be imminent.

When the side room heard this, his grief immediately turned into panic. She had been exposed to it since she was a child, so she was naturally afraid of that taboo. A curse has fallen on the village, and she, not even her son, the future daimyo of Kawanoguni, may be able to escape. So relying on her favor and beauty, she asked the daimyo to find top ninjas with unique skills to solve her problems.

So Itachi and Kisame set out from the Country of Rain and went all the way south. They first went to the Daming Mansion in the Country of Kawa to meet with the concubine and inquire about the basic situation. When the side room saw them, they cried and babbled for a long time, talking about useless narcissism: her great-grandfather was originally an orphan, but was kindly adopted by the old village chief, and took the old village chief's only daughter and his nominal son. My younger sister has inherited the position of village chief; my great-grandfather was very good at carving and used to carve portraits to amuse her when she was a child, but they were destroyed due to taboos in the village; he missed his biological parents very much but could never get what he wanted. ...trivial things like that.

Itachi didn't get much useful information from it, so she left the side room and went straight to her hometown, Qiyuan Village. Because they were ninjas invited by the daimyo's side chamber, the village chief and his family entertained the two of them hospitably, and informed them of all the taboos, curses and their origins spread in the village, down to the smallest detail.

At the same time, Feng Lan and the Qingyu group were kicked out of their home by Payne after bombing the base, and they went all the way north to find a suitable place to settle their new home. As a result, the action routes of the two groups miraculously overlapped in Liyuan Village, regardless of whether the small village could not accommodate these great gods.

It took a lot of time to go to the Daming Mansion and the entertainment side room. Itachi and Kisame were only a day earlier than Feng Lan and the others. After spending the night gathering information at the current village chief's house, the two set off into the mountains early in the morning; Feng Lan and others only arrived in the afternoon that day, so they were perfectly separated.
