Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Bird country.

A small country adjacent to the Land of Rain, poverty and desolation are the first impression this country shows to outsiders.

It is also a neighboring country of the Kingdom of Wind, but the natural climate of the Kingdom of Birds is completely different from that of the Kingdom of Rain. Although the Kingdom of Birds is not as full of yellow sand as the Kingdom of Wind, it is also exposed to rocks, and the farming environment is close to that of the Land of Rain. none.

After traveling a lot, Naruto also has a clearer concept of the five great countries and why they are called the five great countries.

Compared with small countries like Bird and Rain, the natural environment of the five major countries naturally has an advantage.

Not to mention the Land of Fire, basically the entire territory can be cultivated; although the other four major countries also have environmental problems of one kind or another, compared with the small countries, they also have a relatively stable material output.

Even the most abominable Land of Winds, relying on the most extensive land area of ​​the Five Kingdoms, also has a considerable output of goods, especially the output of mineral resources, which is the most abundant among the Five Kingdoms.

The Land of Winds is not poor, only Sand Hidden Village is poor.

Akatsuki organizes a hidden stronghold.

The country of birds is close to the country of rain, and its national strength is weak, so it has no ability to defend itself.

Therefore, this country has naturally become a gathering place for many bounty hunters and underground organizations. There is a mixture of good and bad here, and an inconspicuous passerby on the street may be a wanted criminal in a certain ninja village.

Although the current main activity location of the Akatsuki organization is the Land of Rain, it also has certain external missions. After all, the organization needs financial support to survive.

The underground bounty house is a good choice.

It can be maintained for a long time and is still settled in cash. This funding channel is very popular for powerful organizations.

Nagato, Yahiko, and Xiaonan, no matter who they are, they are all characters who can stand on their own if they go out alone.

Perhaps in the eyes of Naruto and Nagato, Yahiko and Konan are a little bit weaker, but for them, at least within the Akatsuki organization, and even in Ukage Village, they are sure to beat Yahiko and Konan. To be honest, Not much really.

Once again, the two were also taught by Zilaiye for three years, so they can be regarded as the second generation of inheritance.

In the Country of Rain, many people have been defeated in the past.

Therefore, the people in Akatsuki's stronghold in the Country of Birds had to do very simple things. They investigated and confirmed the rewarded tasks, and finally sent the news back to the headquarters of the Country of Rain, waiting for the headquarters to send people to deal with it.

As for whether this kind of killing will conflict with the philosophy of the Xiao organization?

It can only be said that the three of Yahiko walked out of the darkness, yearning for the light, but not blindly yearning for it. They have their own way of dealing with the world.

After verifying his identity with the Akatsuki ninjas at the stronghold, Naruto asked: "Can I contact the people from 'Outer Array' now?"

Outer Array, a very strange organization name, but it is this strange organization that provides a considerable part of the chakra metal in the underground world.

The reward Yahiko gave him was the contact information of this 'outside' organization and the number of transactions per transaction.

"The remaining personnel of the Outer Army's stronghold in the Kingdom of Birds disappeared inexplicably a few days ago." The remaining ninja shook his head, "We can no longer contact them now."

"If you really need it, I can help you contact people from the Kingdom of Wind and ask them to help you contact the people stationed in the outer formation."

"...When exactly was it? The time when the members of the outer formation disappeared." Naruto was slightly stunned and asked instead.

It doesn't make sense. Is his luck so bad?

"Just yesterday, and not only the outsiders, but also the left-behind personnel of several other small organizations left inexplicably." The left-behind ninja folded his arms and said helplessly.

It's really frustrating to be in a situation where other people know what's going on, but you don't.

Especially for intelligence ninjas like them.

"Who are those small organizations?" Naruto asked, touching his chin.

In the country of birds, where fish and dragons are mixed, it is called a small organization, but it can still live so well, and the news is so well-informed. There is no doubt that it is definitely a glove of those big forces.

"'Antu' is most likely the Konoha platform, and 'Meten' is nine out of ten the Sunagakure platform. As for the two 'Iwa' and 'Ken' who are the Iwagakure platform, I'm not sure." The remaining ninja will himself Tell the information you know.

【How do you feel, something is wrong...】

Naruto looked slightly stunned, lost in thought.

After a long time, the ninja who stayed behind couldn't help but call him,

"……Hey Hey hey!"

"Do you still need me to help you contact the people in the Kingdom of Wind?" Seeing him come to his senses, the ninja continued to ask.

"Thank you, no need." Naruto stood up quickly, "Although it may not be appropriate, I still suggest you leave here as soon as possible."

After saying that, he quickly disappeared from the direction he came from.

"……So fast!"

The pupils of the left-behind ninja shrank. It was the first time he had seen such a speed.

After coming back to his senses, he simply packed up his things and left the stronghold without looking back.

The low-level people like them had better listen to the advice of the big shots.

……

Rain country.

On a flat river beach, two forces stood facing each other, and a chilling atmosphere permeated it.

This is the release of the instincts of both parties, an instinct that belongs to ninjas who have experienced fighting.

"Yahiko, I feel something is wrong." Xiaonan looked at Yuren who was opposite, and couldn't help but said.

Yuyin Village's request for cooperation, why didn't it come sooner or later, why did it come at this time.

Besides, Yuyin Village, which has the support of the daimyo of the Rain Country, would sign a contract with such a low-level organization like them so solemnly?

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Nan feels that this matter is weird inside and out.

"Master Hanzo used his own strength to save the Land of Rain that was about to fall off the cliff. How could he, who is called a 'half god', deceive unknown people like us?" Yahiko turned around and gave gave her a relieved smile.

"But..." Xiaonan was about to say something else, but Nagato grabbed her hand.

Nagato looked at the excited Akatsuki members behind him and shook his head slightly.

Now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Originally, the reason why the Akatsuki organization was able to be established relied on a belief, a belief in dedicating oneself to the cause of peace in the Kingdom of Rain.

Rain Hidden Village, even though it has done very little over the years, is still regarded as the orthodoxy of the Land of Rain in the hearts of the vast majority of its members.

Now, their hard work for so many years will be recognized by the "Orthodox", and they will also sign a covenant. With their power, they will force the three hidden villages to sign a peace treaty with the Land of Rain.

This feeling of being recognized and years of hard work to be recognized has already made quite a few members of the organization lose their minds.

Yahiko must have noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't change anything, even if he was the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Human paranoia does not consider reality!

"Are you Yahiko?" Sanshouyu Hanzo, who was wearing a gas mask, looked at the young man not far away, his tone seemed to be filled with emotion and regret.

"I am Master Hanzo." Yahiko stepped forward and looked at the ninjas behind him, "Do you need so many ninjas to sign a cooperation contract?"

"Don't you already understand?" Hanzo said, "Yahiko, you did a great job, but it's a pity that you were born in the wrong era."

"For the future of the Land of Rain!"

"Sorry!"
