[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

In the suite of a high-end hotel in the Land of Rain, Sai is carefully arranging his tie and suit in front of the mirror. The young man in the mirror has a pale face and indifferent black pupils. He glanced down at his watch. The time is It was [-]:[-] in the afternoon, half an hour before the banquet started.

Now Sai's forged identity is Nobu Sakuma, the head of KMWRC (Konoha Microbial Weapon Research Center), and this identity has successfully passed the inspection of the border of the country of rain, and also passed the investigation of Akatsuki's intelligence department.Relying on the identity of Nobuyuki Sakuma and the bait he threw, Saii managed to get a chance to meet Payne, and his mission was to sneak into the Land of Rain to investigate the mysterious man who visited Sasuke four years ago.According to the information obtained by the Fire Country, the Rain Country is one of Akatsuki's strongholds, and the people in charge of the stronghold are Payne and Konan. That mysterious man will be supported by Akatsuki's members, so he must be inseparable from Akatsuki.

KMWRC is a research institution that is active in the black market and specializes in the development of microbial weapons. Its director, Nobuo Sakuma, used to be a researcher at the Konoha Institute of Microbiology. Later, he broke away from the Konoha Institute of Microbiology and established KMWRC. Although it is not a military enterprise in the true sense , but KMWRC is a far more dangerous existence than traditional military enterprises, especially during wartime, countries have invested heavily in the acquisition of these microbial weapons.After World War Three, Nobuo Sakuma was secretly executed by the Fire Nation, and KMWRC became the way for the Fire Nation government to control the trade of biochemical weapons in the black market. However, during the post-war period of peace, the demand for microbial weapons fell to the bottom. So no one outside knew that Nobu Sakuma, the head of KMWRC, was actually dead.

The Land of Rain is a city-state located between the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Wind. Most of its territory is surrounded by the Land of Sichuan to the west and bordered by the Land of Birds to the east. Therefore, the Land of Rain is closely related to Earth, Fire, and The Three Kingdoms of Wind do not border each other, and when the four major nations are at war, the Land of Rain is still peaceful.But Sai knew that hidden under this calmness was infinite killing intent.

It rains here all the year round, and today is no exception. Although it is winter, it is still rainy, and the humid air makes Sai feel very unhappy.Both the clothes and the room were filled with a faint dampness, Sai frowned slightly, thinking whether he should buy a dryer first.

At 45:[-] p.m., the door of the hotel room where Sai was staying was knocked. Sai opened the door, and in front of him was a member of Akatsuki, who bowed respectfully to Sai: "Mr. Sakuma, the car has stopped The hotel is downstairs, please prepare to leave immediately."

"I understand." Sai carried the prepared suitcase, which contained the latest research and development results of the Fire Country Institute of Microbiology.

The car drove through the streets of the Land of Rain, and Sai's eyes fell on the passing buildings outside the car window. There were a large number of stone statues in the Land of Rain, and the dark gray stone statues stood silently in the heavy rain, as if silently expressing themselves with their eyes. Looking at the crowds coming and going in this city, there is an indescribable solemnity and solemnity.The car turned several intersections—Sai memorized the route secretly—and finally stopped in front of a private mansion.

The mansion is a two-story duplex structure with sufficient heating and exquisite furnishings. The first floor is the banquet floor, which is filled with self-service food and drinks, providing a place for high-ranking politicians and socialites to socialize. The second floor is dedicated to Set up for private meetings.After entering the mansion, Saii saw at a glance a man and a woman standing on the second floor condescendingly examining him, it was Payne and Xiaonan.Sai showed a subtle smile, walked steadily through the people talking in pairs on the first floor, and walked up to the second floor to meet Payne's gaze.

"Mr. Sakuma, nice to meet you." Payne held out his hand to him.

"I have admired your name for a long time." Sai replied with a half-smile.

"Sit here, please." Xiao Nan signaled the two to come to the round table. She was wearing a black dress, her hair was coiled up and her white neck was exposed. She was a beautiful woman.

"Mr. Sakuma, did you bring anything?" Payne didn't make a detour, and asked straight to the point about the bait that Sai had thrown earlier.

Saii nodded, and put the suitcase he was carrying on the table, but he was not in a hurry to open it, but looked at Payne: "It is my honor to do business with you, and I hope this will be a good time for both parties. Satisfied transaction."

Payne narrowed his eyes: "So, what price do you want?"

Sai smiled: "The price of a transaction is nothing, I hope to be your stable supplier of microbial weapons, at least until the end of the war."

"Sure enough, he looks like a businessman, and he has a big appetite." Payne sneered.

"We're just making a fortune from the war. If we don't open for three years, we will suffer for three years." Sai said with a smile, "Of course, the final decision is in your hands, or the bigger boss behind you." In your hand, before you make a decision, I have to take out my chips first, so that I can convince you, right?" He opened the combination lock of the suitcase, and inside the suitcase was a set of automatic heat preservation device, and inside the device was a small Small glass bottle.

"Is this the Kyubi virus you mentioned that has undergone genetic mutation?" Payne asked suspiciously.

"That's right." Sai nodded, "I heard that I heard that I once wanted to restart the Kyubi project in the land of water, and wanted to use the Kyubi virus as a biochemical weapon, but this plan was eventually disrupted by the land of fire." He didn't move Looking at Payne's gradually gloomy face, "KMWRC has equipment, experimental bases and scientific researchers that are not inferior to the Konoha Institute of Microbiology. The most important thing is that we can conduct many experiments that are not allowed by the government of the country of fire. Our Scientists... are a bunch of lunatics." Sai whispered close to Payne, and he looked at the greedy and cold light in Payne's eyes with satisfaction.

"We want to test this virus." Payne sat up straight.

"You are welcome." Sai maintained a smiling expression, "This mutant-induced Kyubi virus is just a small gift, if you are satisfied with this mutant virus, we will give you the vaccine after paying the deposit. At that time, if you make up the full payment, we will have time to discuss the next cooperation plan."

"I want to know, besides the mutated Kyubi virus, is there any bigger bargaining chip worthy of us choosing you." Payne asked tentatively.

"I can't disclose it to you yet." Sai smiled, "If we have to say it, we call it the Kyubi Supplementary Plan. Regarding this supplementary plan, I hope to talk to the bigger boss behind you. "

Payne exuded a strong sense of oppression and killing intent. He stared closely at Sai, like a wild beast watching its prey: "I am the leader of Akatsuki."

Saii's palms were in a cold sweat. He was betting on the identity of that mysterious man—that man might be one of Akatsuki's collaborators, or maybe the bigger boss behind Payne—Sai wasn't sure if he could win the bet. .Facing Payne's suspicious gaze, Sai looked at him calmly but not to be outdone, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.From the corner of Sai's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Nan's hand slowly placed behind his back, and he guessed that Xiao Nan was carrying a weapon.

After all, Payne is still a very cautious person.At this moment of confrontation, as long as Saii shows a little timidity or lack of confidence, he will immediately be at a disadvantage psychologically and expose his flaws. Even if he is lucky enough not to be killed by Xiaonan on the spot, it is impossible to retreat from the Land of Rain.

Seeing that Payne didn't continue to speak, Saii's determination increased a bit. He calmly adjusted the collar of his suit, and changed into a comfortable position: "Mr. Payne is a frank person, so I won't hide anything Cover up. Kyubi’s completion plan is the last and most important hole card in the long-term cooperation plan between KMWRC and Akatsuki, and I naturally hope to talk to the biggest boss.”

Payne pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then slowly said: "I will report your proposal to him. As for whether he would like to see you, I cannot give a definite answer."

"I understand." Sai nodded.This time he won the bet.This meant that there was indeed a more important person behind Payne. As for who this person was, Saii had no answer in mind.

Payne closed the lockbox and handed it to Xiaonan: "Since Mr. Sakuma is a businessman, you must also understand that to do a good business, sincerity alone is not enough, and you must have products worthy of customers' favor. "

"Please rest assured that KMWRC, as the most active microbial weapon research and development institution on the black market, naturally deserves its reputation. Since I have the courage to come to your site without assistants and weapons today, I will sit here and have a face-to-face discussion with you. business, it means that I have the confidence and ability to come up with something that will satisfy you." Sai said, "I always like to investigate my customers' information to find the most suitable products for them, and this time is no exception."

"That's good." Payne showed Saii a look mixed with warning and expectation.

Payne took Sai to an underground military prison in the land of the rain. Sai understood what Payne meant. He wanted to select test items from these prisoners to verify the effect of the new Kyubi virus.Sai's eyes swept over the people in the prison. They were watching him and Payne with wary and disdainful eyes. Sai put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked through the long corridor indifferently amidst the lingering eyes.

"The new Kyubi virus can be transmitted not only through the respiratory tract, but also through the digestive tract and skin ulcers." Sai said to Payne, "Therefore, I suggest that Mr. Payne keep the selected test subjects in strict isolation from other prisoners. "

Standing outside the isolation room, Sai and Payne watched impassively as armed soldiers forced subjects to drink drinking water mixed with a highly concentrated suspension of the mutant Kyubi virus.

As early as when he was trained by Anbu, Sai had already learned to abandon his human feelings and nature, and all his actions were centered around completing tasks.Even in the process of getting along with Haruno Sakura, Sai found that the emotions sealed in his heart were like a glacier, but in the cold rain of the land of rain, he quickly adjusted his state and was not moved by the cruel experiment in front of him. .

"I hope that Mr. Sakuma can stay in the Land of Rain until the end of the experiment." Payne looked at Sai's expression, and then said slowly.

"Naturally, I'm still looking forward to meeting Akatsuki's biggest boss." Sai nodded.

In addition to allowing some of the subjects to drink drinking water containing the virus suspension, Payne selected another group of subjects to be kept in the same isolation room as the infected.Sai looked down at the crowd huddled in every corner because of fear, and there was a flash of compassion in his dark eyes.

The Kyubi virus with induced gene mutation can cause pneumonia and respiratory failure similar to that of the unmutated Kyubi. In addition, its most important mutation result is systemic hemorrhage.As the first symptomatic person appeared in the crowd, the invisible fear began to materialize. This symptomatic person first developed a continuous high fever, which caused severe delirium. People in the isolation room watched this with wide eyes. The man sometimes muttered to himself, and sometimes became furious due to the stimulation of sound and light. 48 hours after the onset of symptoms, he died. The necrotic tissue eroded by the virus, and blackened blood continuously flowed out from the corpse's eye sockets, ear holes, and nasal cavity.

Death is very ugly.

When the Konoha Institute of Microbiology handed the suitcase to Sai, he had already told him to be extra careful, but Sai did not expect that the death caused by this mutant would be more tragic and faster than the original virus.The director of the Institute of Microbiology sighed and said: "Inducing genetic mutations on this virulent virus is like opening Pandora's box. I don't know what kind of disaster it will bring." However, facing a suspicious and cautious opponent like Payne, If he didn't use such extreme methods and bait, he would definitely not easily agree to a meeting with Sai.

With the occurrence of the first death, the sickle of death hung high above the isolation room. In less than a week, nearly half of the subjects had died. The isolation room was full of dead bodies infected by the virus. All the subjects seemed to understand and accept their own fate. Facing the food and water that were put in regularly and regularly every day, they no longer resisted, cursed or cried, but obediently picked them up from the ground.Among the survivors, some sat indifferently in a corner of the isolation room waiting to die, and some chose to commit suicide early. Looking in from the transparent tempered glass wall above the isolation room, it can be said to be a shocking scene like purgatory.
