[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

The Land of Rain, which is rainy all year round, seldom clears up, but even when the clouds clear and the fog clears, the country is still gloomy.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings made of steel and stone. On the outside of these buildings, many steel pipes of different sizes and thicknesses are erected towards the sky. The existence of those pipes and sewers of different sizes is naturally a specialty of the Land of Rain. are closely related to rainfall.

There are basically no living people living on the top of these tall buildings with different structures and shapes in the Land of Rain, but there is one thing that is tacit to the residents of the Land of Rain.

That is, their "gods" and "angels" live on the top of a certain tall building, protecting them, the citizens of a small country who have been invaded||abused by a big country.

It was dusk at this time, but the gorgeous scenery that dusk should have did not appear in the sky.

In other countries at this moment, the sky that should be dyed red by the setting sun is now leaden gray, and there are clouds that are thicker than that leaden gray sky and are slowly drifting with the evening wind.

The orange-haired man in the fire cloud robe sat on the edge of the room, looking out at the gradually gathering dark clouds outside through the crescent-shaped hole, and did not speak for a long time.

"Payne," I don't know how long the orange-haired man was looking at, but behind him suddenly appeared a tall, blue-haired woman wearing the same outfit as him.

The orange-haired man called Payne slowly turned his head to look at the blue-haired woman, and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter, Xiao Nan."

This blue-haired woman is the ninja of Yuyin Village who went to intercept Zhou Jianwen's carriage and launched an attack—Xiao Nan. After hearing Payne's response, she slowly responded to her companion with a soft voice, " Never come."

Payne still didn't change his expression, but Xiaonan, who had known each other for many years, noticed something strange in the other's silence.

That is, during the period of Payne's silence, Xiao Nan continued to add, "He brought news of that person, saying that "that person" will come over later. "

As soon as Xiao Nan mentioned "that person", Payne's emotions seemed to become more subtle.

For the existence of "that person" Xiao Nankou mentioned, Payne's mood is extremely complicated.

In fact, if he really wants to say, he still doesn't like the existence of "that person". It has been like this since the first meeting, and it is still like this now; but in order to achieve his goals, cooperation with that person is necessary.

"Let's go first." Thinking of the action plan he had recently explained to the people below, Payne probably guessed "that person" and Jue's purpose for coming here this time.

He stood up from the ground, and then said to Xiao Nan who had been quietly waiting for his response.

When I came to the house, I saw Jue who was already waiting at the side as expected.

The other party was wearing the same fire cloud robe as them. Although the other party's appearance looked no different from that of a human being, his body was divided into black and white parts, and there were two huge leaves on the left and right sides, which made him look It looks more like a plant than a human.

Seeing Payne appearing in front of him, Jue's first words were:

"Kikisame and the others failed."

This is undoubtedly bad news, after all, he personally ordered Zhou Jianwen to the "Zhu Nan" group.

In the "Xiao" organization, apart from the combination of him and Xiaonan, it is impossible to tell which group is the strongest among the other groups-after all, everyone has no real swords and guns to fight without restraint. However, there are some things that he still knows very clearly in his heart, that is, the strength of the "Junan" group is not weak at all.

Whether it is Kisame Kisame, who is one of the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen" and known as the "Tailed Beast Without a Tail", or Chiqu who usually keeps silent but can deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment ...

No matter which one of them, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with on their own.

What's more, is it a mission carried out by their joint forces?

"Do you want to watch the detailed battle process?" Seeing his leader——Payne, who is also the leader of the "Xiao" organization, suddenly fell silent, and then continued, "I have recorded it."

"Let's talk about it after "that person" comes," Payne was silent for a while, but didn't immediately nod in agreement.

If you want to say why, it is probably because he knows that "that person" is actually quite concerned about Masune Jianmin.

After all, it was "that person" who suggested to him to let the "Zhu Nan" team capture Masune Jianwen alive this time.

Jue nodded, and the three sat down on three chairs in the room.

Payne sat cross-legged on the chair due east. On his left was the silent Xiao Nan, and on his left was Jue who was sitting and didn't know what he was thinking. As for the one opposite him, The empty seat is naturally reserved for "that person".

After waiting for about 10 minutes, when the three of them were getting impatient, a figure suddenly and quietly appeared in the room.

The man was wearing an orange || swirl-shaped mask and a dark tights that almost covered his whole body; and his mask and tights, as well as his hair exposed to the air, were dyed Humidity, obviously from the rain just outside.

The three people sitting in the room were all elites, so they naturally discovered the existence of each other. They turned their heads to look at the last person who appeared at the same time, with some dissatisfaction in their emotions.

Not for anything else, just because that person came too late.

It's just that Payne didn't say anything about complaining, neither did Xiao Nan, but Jue, who was sitting opposite Xiao Nan, laughed and teased the important character who came late, "Isn't it too late? Could it be that I met someone on the road?" What's interesting?"

This is a joke, after all, as the rulers of Yuyin Village, Payne and Xiaonan know that before the real dawn, there are almost no interesting things that can happen in this transition.

The visitor responded with a flattering voice, but he was noncommittal about whether Absolute's guess was correct.

His head moved slightly from right to left, as if scanning the three people sitting in the room, and finally his eyes rested on Jue's body, and his right eye looked through the only hole left on the mask. That Kong looked at Jue who seemed to be unaffected by his gaze.

"How is the mission of Kisame going?"

He and Kisame are old acquaintances, after all, they met each other in the Land of Water before the other officially joined "Akatsuki", and Kisame is one of the few who knows his "true identity" exist.

Although he specifically asked Payne to assign the task to the "Junan" group as the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization this time, he did not know that he had also used his own identity to issue it to him before Kanshi Kisame carried out this mission. Same order.

Although he didn't mention the specific reason for arresting Masune Jianwen in that mission, but he clearly told Ganshi Guixie about one thing.

That is to bring Zhenzhou Jianwen over, regardless of life or death.

Hearing the masked man's question, Jue, who was asked by him, spread his hands and shook his head, "Failed."

"Failed?" This unexpected answer caused the masked man's brows hidden behind the mask to frown directly, and he repeated his answer softly, as if he didn't quite understand the reason for this situation.

Kisame Kisame is by no means an underdog, and Chiqu, who is his partner, can be regarded as the veteran of Akatsuki, but this is the combination...

Still can't bring Zhenzhou Jianwen to him?

Even if it's just a corpse.

"Yeah, they ran away," Jue watched as the masked man sat on the last vacant seat, and then released the video he had recorded.

From the time when Kisame Kisame and Chikuma's "Junan" team stopped the carriage driven by Kakashi, until Minou got on the carriage, and then brought the entire carriage and the two bow-wielding men who didn't even get on the carriage. Until the women who were weapons disappeared without a trace, it was played to the three people in front of him one by one.

Watching Jue playing the recorded effects, the already dark room suddenly became more gloomy.

The air seemed to be condensed, making the ninja and even the kage-level masters in the room feel suffocated, and the masked man was the first to react.

The video played by Jue today is not unfamiliar to him, whether it is the torrential rain that falls from the sky and is as dense as the land of rain, but the lethality is thousands of times stronger than the rain. |Explosion||Attack||Strike, or the sudden disappearance, I don't know if it is another escape method of space-time ninjutsu...

They were all met by him and Jue in the country of birds.

It's just that in addition to these, there seem to be some new "surprises" in this video.

For example, the little silver-haired girl who was able to withstand the attack of the "shark muscle" in the hands of the dried persimmon ghost—if he remembered correctly, he had seen this little girl next to Masaki Jianwen in the country of birds. girl.

Another example is the attack from behind them that finally blocked the pursuit of the dried persimmon ghost shark.

The masked man didn't think that it was a ninjutsu attack—it was the same as the explosive ||explosion||attack||strike that fell from the sky, but if it really wasn't ninjutsu, he didn't understand how this kind of attack was achieved of.

Props?

But even the detonating talisman can't achieve this effect, can it?

"Xiao Nan, what do you think?" The masked man turned his head to look at Xiao Nan who was sitting on his left hand side. In his memory, the other party had attacked Zhenzhou Jianwen many years ago because of Payne's order.

Back then, they wanted to catch Makoto Jianmin for the sake of Kyuubi.

Although Kyuubi had been sealed at that time, they didn't know where it was sealed and whether there was someone in Churiki. The only thing they knew was Masune, the fourth Namikaze Minato's secret confidant. Jianwen is one of the few people besides Naruto who knows the answers to these questions.

But at that time, they didn't really want to catch Zhenzhou Jianwen, at most they were probing for a while, with the mentality of "If you succeed, you will succeed, if you don't succeed, you will fall down".

As for why it is not aimed at other high-level members of Konoha Village...

Have you never heard of the saying "persimmons should be picked soft"?

Compared with other high-level people in Konoha Village who may know about this matter, Masamune Jianwen can be said to be the weakest one among them-she was seriously injured in the Second Ninja World War and could not use Chakra. Everyone knows.

If you don't pick her to start, is it possible to go to the already wary fourth generation?

He wanted to, but after missing the best time, it would not be easy to strike at Namikaze Minato.

However, who would have thought that such a woman who cannot use chakra would actually make the people of the "Xiao" organization run into trouble again and again-and they didn't even figure out how she did it .

——I really met a ghost in broad daylight.

"The attack that hit Kisame at the end was very similar to the attack I received at that time," Xiaonan recalled the scene when he confronted Masune Jianmin—to be precise, the people under Masune Jianmin. , "But it seems that there are quite a few people under Zhenzhou Jianwen who can use this trick."

Since it is limited by the Manafune family, the only conjectures that can be obtained are...

"Could it be a secret ninjutsu?"

Xiao Nan shook her head, "I'm not sure. After all, Zhenzhou Jianwen didn't go to the battle in person at that time. It can be seen that her loss of Chakra should not be fake."

"There is no doubt about this matter. After all, it was Tsunade Hime who decided that she could no longer use ninjutsu." The entire ninja world is famous.

——Be good with her || bet on this matter together.

"Then the best guess for this question is that the Masune family has some kind of secret ninjutsu. After the Manasu Jianmin lost the ability to become a ninja, he raised a group of private mercenaries. The secret ninjutsu was handed over to those mercenaries."

The masked man made a guess in a deep voice, although he had never heard of the secret ninjutsu of the Manafune family before.

After all, before Masune's father married her mother, the niece of the fire country daimyo, the Masune family's status in Konoha Village was simply insignificant, so how could it be compared to other ninjutsu masters? The family - such as Nara, the family scene in the mountains?

If the Masune family really has such lethal ninjutsu, even if they cannot become a big family like Uchiha and Hinata, their status in Konoha should not be underestimated.

After all, according to his preliminary judgment, if the so-called "secret ninjutsu" of the Manafu family is used, even if the user is only an ordinary Chunin, one person can probably destroy a city, and ten people can destroy a country.

——The kind that no one survives wherever he goes.

Such an existence is rare for the "Xiao" organization that is in urgent need of manpower, but it is a pity...

The masked man didn't think that the people of the Masune family would really be easily incited.

"Forget it, let's put the matter about Zhenzhou Jianwen aside first," since he failed to catch the living person again and again—even the corpse, let's put it aside for the time being.

After all, according to the information they have about Zhenzhou Jianwen and the observations of several contacts, the other party is by no means a simple-minded idiot, and attacking her again and again will only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Before you can be sure that you can bring back the other party's body, it's better not to worry about that woman who hides too many secrets.

Anyway...

"For the next three years, "Akatsuki" temporarily stopped all activities against tailed beasts. "

Payne is naturally aware of this matter. After all, not long ago, he personally issued this order to all members of the "Xiao" organization, but he didn't know what the masked man meant by repeating the old story.

Payne and Xiaonan, including Jue's puzzled gaze, the masked man, all saw it, and he answered very happily.

"I suspect that a nail has been planted in the "Xiao" organization. "

Hearing what the masked man said, Xiao Nan immediately frowned, and Jue and Payne also showed puzzled and disbelieving eyes.

The four other than the masked man looked at each other, and after sensing the astonishment on each other's faces, they turned their heads to look at the masked man again, but this time it was Payne who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Are you so sure?"

The Akatsuki organization now only has ten members—if the masked man is included.

And besides the leaders behind the scenes, there are also veterans who existed in "Akatsuki" at the beginning of its establishment—such as Chiqu; .

In addition, many of the remaining members of the Akatsuki organization were selected by the masked man himself.

It's ridiculous that there are still spies among just ten people, isn't it?

Hearing the suspicion in Payne's words, the masked man snorted softly, "Of course not, but I've noticed a lot of strangeness here and in the Kingdom of Water recently, so it's better to pay attention."

"Could it be that our actions have attracted the attention of the five major powers?"

"Who knows, I hope it's just me thinking too much."

What the masked man said still made Payne a little concerned, but since the other party said so, he could only answer, "I will pay attention, but I still don't want to cause chaos within the organization for no reason."

It is too unreasonable to speculate that there are spies inside the organization without evidence. Payne doesn't like this kind of behavior that provokes internal conflicts for no reason.

The masked man probably also heard the other party's displeasure, and this matter was originally his guess, so he didn't force it, but just said to Payne, "It's fine if you can pay attention."

If there are really spies in the organization, they will show their feet when the time comes.

So he is not in a hurry.

>>>

At the same time that such a secret meeting was being held in the Land of Rain located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Fire, Wind, and Earth, there was also an undisclosed dialogue going on in Muye Village in the Land of Fire.

"...I have already listened to Kakashi's report on the specific situation."

Namikaze Minato looked at Zhou Jianmin who was sitting in front of him. Although the other party was in a good mental state, he looked a little more haggard than before she went to the Iron Country. Think about what he heard from Kakashiban's report. According to the news, it is not difficult for Minato Namikaze to deduce that the other party is suffering another serious illness.

"I didn't expect to meet members of the "Xiao" organization again this time out, and it seems that this time they are clearly targeting Miss Jianwen. "

It never occurred to him that Zhou Jianwen would encounter such a situation when he was only going to the Iron Country to do business.

If he had known that the "Xiao" organization had already shifted its target to Zhou Jianwen, how could he have allowed Zhou Jianwen to leave the village easily, even with a newly graduated Genin class?

"I was negligent this time, as long as Miss Jianwen is fine."

Zhou Jianwen, who was not in good health at first, became even worse after going to the Iron Country and suffering from the cold. She held the hot tea in front of her. In her spring clothes, she even held a cup of warm tea in her hand at the moment.

"I don't blame you for this, who would have thought that I would meet people from the "Xiao" organization every time I went out?I really don't know whether they love me deeply, or they have changed jobs to be paparazzi. "

Minato Namikaze really doesn't know what a paparazzi is.

But from Zhou Jianwen's tone, he could also guess that this is definitely not something worthy of praise.

"However, it's good for them to come this time. If they don't come, I really don't know what kind of plan they are planning." Also, I won't guess such an important thing because of Qianqu's arrow.

Zhou Jianwen said so, and slowly put the teacup in his hand on the table with a smooth surface, and then said solemnly to Namikaze Minato in front of him, "Their goal is really Kyuubi. "

As soon as Namakaze Minato heard Zhou Jianmin's conclusion, he couldn't help but sighed, "... Really."

"According to the information we got before, the "Akatsuki" organization will not attack the tail beast in the next three years, that is to say..."

Minakame nodded, "We only have three years to prepare."

This is an issue they have already discussed before. As long as Zhou Jianmin and Namikaze Minato know that each other has a clear idea, they will not continue to talk about this issue that everyone understands its importance.

After all, practical actions are the most important thing.

"After I came back from the Iron Country, I have already edited the book for Tsunade to ask her to come back," Zhou Jianmin said slowly to Namikaze Minato, who was looking surprised, "After the Chunin exam is over, I plan to send her "That" is taught to Sakura. "

"Although it may not be possible to succeed—it might be more likely to fail, but I have seen such aptitude in Sakura. If a miracle really happens, I think it will be a great help in future battles. "

At this moment, Zhou Jianwen's eyebrows were crooked with a smile, but what she said made Namikaze Minato's eyebrows wrinkle more and more.

"Whether it is for the village or for Naruto."

Namikaze Minato naturally understood what Zhou Jianwen meant. After all, he had heard Zhou Jianwen mention Zhou Jianwen's plans for his adopted daughter. Similarly, he also knew that once Zhou Jianmin and Haruno Sakura's practice was successful, it would have great impact on the village. It's a good thing for his son Naruto.

"but……"

"Actually, it's not just for the village and Naruto," Zhou Jianwen raised her hand, stopping Namikaze Minato's persuasion, "It's also for Sakura, I hope she will have more people who can protect herself and her companions." The means, so that she and her companions can be safe and sound on the battlefield."

Namikaze Minato couldn't refute this statement.

Seeing that Zhou Jianmin has made up his mind, and knowing her stubborn temper, Namikaze Minato can't say anything else—in fact, he doesn't know whether he wants the mother and daughter to succeed or fail, so in the end he can only choose to resign himself to fate.

If Haruno Sakura really succeeds, it can only prove that this is her destiny.

No one can reverse it.

After talking about Zhou Jianwen's plans for his daughter, Namikaze Minato naturally thought of his son, "Mr. Jiraiya has been back to the village for a while, and I plan to hand over Naruto to him."

Although he and Kushina are unwilling to let Naruto leave them prematurely, Naruto has become a ninja after all, and the "that" he has carried since birth is also doomed that he cannot escape the "that" three years later. catastrophe.

That being the case, then for the next three years, let him be by the side of Mr. Jiraiya who can better teach him to grow.

Namikaze Minato believes that his teacher will be able to teach his son to become a better ninja.

"Sakura will continue to participate in Konoha's mission as a member of the Kakashi class for the next three years," although Tsunade was invited back, but Minu was unwilling to be wronged and finally found a warm Hatake Kakashi's home.

Namikaze Minato also knew that Zhou Jianmin said this because of his ill-fated disciple, and Namikaze Minato naturally accepted her kindness.

"Since this is the case, let's arrange it like this."

Namikaze Minato, who had no intention of changing the configuration of the seventh class, nodded, and finally looked at Zhou Jianmin and couldn't help sighing, "There are only three years left, and I hope Konoha can survive that catastrophe safely after three years."

— But is this really possible?

The author has something to say: the next chapter will switch to three years later, the boss's foreshadowing has been completed, and the next step is to harvest heads like crazy... Do you believe it?
