Chapter 92 Sun vs God (2/5)
Chapter 92 Sun vs. God (25)
Anjiro is the veteran experimental subject who was mistakenly implanted with the Black Sancho Fish three years ago.
Anjuro and Shizune went to great lengths to remove his poison sac. In the end, it was Tsunade who took action in person to complete the aftermath of the operation. She also took advantage of the situation and charged a sky-high price for the operation...
In terms of wealth alone, this little-known man The boy is already as good as half Asuma.
Of course, the insider didn't tell him much about the latter part.
At this time, Yasujiro's eyes were filled with hot tears, and they were overflowing with unbelievable light. He stared at Anjuro opposite him, his shoulders and back were slightly shaking due to excitement, as if he had seen his parents who had been parted for a long time. Relatives.
He had fantasized about meeting Xingjulang again countless times, but he never expected that it would be on such an occasion, without any warning, so suddenly, just like the first time they met back then.
He was only in his early teens at the time, but due to adequate diet and exercise over the years, he was already as tall as an adult.
Coupled with the thick raincoat, large hat and gas mask, at first glance, he looked not much different from the other rain ninjas responsible for guarding the door...
But he did not expect that he would be recognized by Anjuro so easily. come out.
"Anjuro..."
Ignoring the increasingly weird looks from his peers, Anjiro was like a child who was sent to kindergarten for the first time, desperately wiping his tears with the heel of his palms, and making a choked sound at the same time, even under the pouring rain. No sound could cover up this voice, completely exposing his vulnerability to the rain ninja who were working together.
"It turns out you still, still remember me. I thought you... you had forgotten us a long time ago..."
"How is this possible?!"
Xingjuro smiled heartily, "We have dealt with very troublesome enemies together. ! I will never forget the teammates who fought side by side!"
The enemy he was talking about was naturally the poisonous sac of the black pepper fish.
From an ordinary person's perspective, the successful completion of the operation was entirely due to him, Shizune, and Tsunade, but Anjuro took into account the patient's own desire to survive, and that's why he said he fought side by side.
After hearing his unique statement, Anjiro was also sure that this was Anjuro himself and not a fake person.
In this world, only Anjuro can speak like this. Just listening to it makes people feel empowered.
"Then why...have you never come back to see us?"
Anjiro suddenly felt even more aggrieved, not just for himself, but to express the common thoughts of the six children back then.
For three years, they waited and waited, and had several opportunities to leave Kawa no Kuni, but they gave up because they were worried that Anjuro would not be able to find them when he came back.
It wasn't until more than half a year ago that I met the ninja Yasujiro who went to the Land of Sichuan to purchase supplies. I heard from him that the Land of Rain was about to undergo drastic changes, and that it would be led by the "angel" himself. Then I was persuaded to come back together. .
"Didn't you promise? You will definitely come..."
"I did go back, but I just didn't show up!"
Xingjulang walked a little closer, his tone seemed to coax the child.
Although the other rain ninjas were not sure of his identity, based on his appearance and Anjiro's words, they had already made some guesses in their minds and were exchanging glances with no intention of stopping him.
It's just that we have been guarding the gate together for a while. Although Yasujiro is young, he is very hard-working, very independent, and has far more positivity and strength than ordinary people. Now that he has suddenly become such a weirdo, they are somewhat unaccustomed to it...
Although Yu Xingjuro is tall, his face is obviously still very childish. Although he is younger than Anjiro at first glance, he has become a spoiled one. The object is inevitably a little weird.
Is this young boy really the "Sun of Hometown" that many people call him?
[Well, you have the momentum, but you seem to be a little too young. Is it as powerful as everyone says? ]
After hearing Anjiro's answer, Yasujiro raised his head in confusion: "Is that so?"
"Yes. I have gone back many times!"
Anjiro answered affirmatively: "Although I just stopped by to do other things, but I know very well that you worked hard as a postman for half a year, then joined the security team in Heli Town, and learned how to extract chakra! I also know that you saved some money part-time and helped several other children learn basic reading and writing! It's because you did a great job that I left with peace of mind, because you don't need me to do any more unnecessary things, right?"
Anjiro finally stopped crying, feeling the childlike grievances that had been hidden in his heart. , suddenly disappeared a lot.
"So you really know everything..."
Anjiro said this, his face suddenly turned pale, "Then about Hanako's illness..."
Before parting with Anjuro, he promised Anjiro that he would take good care of the others, but the six of them There was still a child who died prematurely.
"Diseases and injuries are different. Even medical ninjas don't have any good solutions!"
Anjuro shook his head regretfully. He had dealt with that child's disease before. It was an incurable genetic disease, even if the doctor was replaced by Tsunade. Can't be saved.
Except for using his clone to come and see the child for the last time before he died, Anjuro himself could not do anything.
"Yasujiro, you have done the best you can to the best of your ability! Don't take things you can't solve as your own mistakes and carry them on you, understand? I think Hanako has a spirit in heaven, and she wouldn't want to You've been blaming yourself for this!"
"..."
Anjiro was silent for a while, his lowered head gradually lifted up, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.
"I understand! Thank you, Anjiro!"
Anjiro didn't feel ashamed when he saw the way the others looked at him.
But then he remembered the real thing - Xingjulang came here to meet the leader of Yuyin Village, not to reminisce with him.
Anjiro suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Their duty is to ensure that no outsiders enter through the gate of Yuyin Village.
After all, the murder of Sanshouyu Hanzo and the change of ownership of Yuyin Village were completely confidential.
These rain ninjas seem to be just gatekeepers, but in fact they are all die-hard loyalists of Lord "Angel", so they accepted this extremely confidential job.
The order they received was to tell everyone who tried to enter the Rain Hidden Village from here that
the ninja demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo would not see any visitors. From now on, the Rain Hidden Village could only be closed, thus blocking the vast majority of foreigners. outside.
As for those who use other methods - such as diving into a lake full of scary monster fish - they have no control over it.
Yasujiro's dilemma is that, first of all, he doesn't want to deceive Anjuro.
Secondly, it is completely unreasonable for him to be the experimental subject of Sanshouyu Hanzo's son, and now he is guarding the gate of Yuyin Village. Even if he wants to deceive, he cannot be deceived.
So he struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go back and report."
The others looked at him in surprise, and the oldest one stretched out his hand, as if to persuade him. After all, the order they received did not include this one.
Although today's rain ninja is not as cruel as Hanzo's period, if Yasujiro does unnecessary things, he will inevitably be suspected, and he may not be able to continue to be a ninja in the future.
But fortunately, before they opened their mouths, they saw a familiar figure floating towards them.
"Angel-sama!"
"It's Angel-sama!"
they shouted one after another. Anjiro, who had just taken two steps, immediately stopped where he was. He opened his mouth and watched the white paper wings getting closer and closer, and finally hovered over Above them, eyes cast their gaze downwards calmly and calmly.
Anjuro glanced at these rain ninjas and found that there was no fear of the strong in their eyes when looking at the angel, but a kind of fanatical admiration. He suddenly had a rough impression of this female ninja whom he had only heard of by name.
Considering that this woman had saved Yiyong's life and that she had provided him with the detonating talisman used to pay for the medical expenses, he bowed slightly to her in good faith, showing sincerity.
Konan was rewarded with that friendly smile, and the memories of her time with Yahiko and Nagato suddenly came back to her. Her heartbeat stopped slightly, and a warmth and sadness filled her body at the same time.
Except for the wings that flap automatically, her body seemed to be completely frozen in mid-air, just looking at the other person quietly and condescendingly.
Seeing this smiling face and the other person's warmth that could be felt even eight meters away, many things she couldn't understand - such as the legend about the "Sun of Hometown" and the unique atmosphere of that village, seemed to be explained. .
This young and outrageous kid just stood there with a trustworthy and powerful aura that could awaken people's hope.
Isn't this what the sun gives people?
Isn't this what the Rain Kingdom lacks most?
[This is a natural leader...]
Xiaonan made a judgment instantly.
What Purgatory Anjurou has is exactly what she and Nagato don't have even with great power.
The only person she had ever seen who was similar to Anjuro was Yahiko, but even with the blessing of the friendship filter, she had to admit that this child had an advantage over Yahiko in this aspect.
[Be sure to let him join the Akatsuki organization. ]
An idea suddenly arises, and then changes quickly.
[No, that's not right! He must be allowed to join the Hidden Rain Village. ]
[The darkness of Xiao is not suitable for such a radiant person! ]
This idea of the same style as Sarutobi Hiruzen came very suddenly, but it was inexplicably reasonable, as if an elephant suddenly broke into Konan's heart, and then stayed there honestly.
After having this idea, she immediately folded her wings into pieces of paper and folded them into her body, and her body slowly fell to the ground.
"I..."
When she opened her mouth for the first time, Xiaonan's voice was a little hoarse, and she had to pause for a moment before continuing: "We finally met, but I didn't expect it would be here, Purgatory Anjuro."
Her tone was soft and steady. , completely unlike the cold and aloof person he was when he first met the righteous hero whose enemy and friend were unknown. He had the feeling of a diplomat who felt like a refreshing breeze. It's also a way of showing kindness.
"Yes. I heard someone said today that you were looking for me, so I rushed here immediately!"
After Purgatory Anjuro left Konoha, he just arrived in the village today and heard about the "angel" coming, so he understood where it was. It has indeed been discovered by Yuyin Village.
After hearing that "Angel" intended to invite them to move into Yuyin Village, Xingjulang decided to come and see if the current Yuyin Village was suitable for everyone to live in.
Last time, the guy with the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths attacked him at the slightest disagreement, and the eyes came out of nowhere. No one knew if there was any new biological experiment being carried out in Yuyin Village.
For the sake of everyone's survival, Xingjulang had to ask clearly, so he rushed over immediately.
"Huh?"
But when Xiao Nan heard this, it was more than that.
"Did you come directly from that village?"
"Yes, I arrived there half an hour after you left. What a coincidence!"
Xiaonan was silent for a moment.
Because she was worried about Nagato's health, after leaving the village, she flew back almost at full speed, faster than most birds, but also consumed more than half of her chakra.
Except for Zetsu, her speed can be said to be the fastest in the Akatsuki organization.
But according to Purgatory Anjuro, he set off half an hour later than him, but arrived here less than five minutes later.
In addition, Nagato sensed that Purgatory Anjuro's chakra was three times that of the last clone...
[It seems to be too powerful for his age. ]
The last time she saw such a child was three years ago...
The way she looked at Purgatory Anjuro showed that in addition to the goodwill she had accumulated, she also paid more attention to him.
[At least better than Loquat Juzo. ]
But in this case, what reason would she use to win this child from "Akatsuki" to Yuyin Village?
However, she forgot that Purgatory Anjuro never said that he came to join Akatsuki from the beginning to the end. It was just the kindness he showed that made Konan ignore this problem.
[Let Nagato meet him first. ]
Considering that Anjuro and Yahiko have a certain similarity in temperament, she felt that she should be able to surprise Nagato. After they get along for a while and the relationship has improved a little, it will be convenient to say anything.
"Let's go, our leader wants to see you."
Let's do it without further ado.
As Konan finished speaking, hundreds of pieces of paper rushed toward her and Xingjulang's feet, and a buoyant force slowly lifted them up.
It seemed that she was planning to take Xingjulang directly back to the tower to meet Pain.
But Xingjulang's feet paused slightly, and a hot wave of air spread out, scattering the pieces of paper, but only scattered.
"Sorry!"
Xingjuro smiled apologetically, "Although it's a little sudden, I want to have a good tour of Yuyin Village. Can we walk? Of course, I will try not to waste time along the way! Please don't worry! "
He came here for inspection this time, so he came very suddenly, giving Yu Yin almost no time to prepare, just to prevent the other party from concealing the true situation inside.
Although the "angel" was kind to Giyu and gave Anjurou some basic affection and trust in her, the future of hundreds of people was related to him, so he had to be more cautious.
"..."
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay." If
he walked faster, it would only delay him for twenty or thirty minutes at most, and maybe Payne could make more preparations.
So she turned her head and signaled the rain ninja gate to open, revealing a long cement bridge leading directly to the island in the middle of the lake where the main body of the rain hidden village is located.
"Anjiro, I'm going to say goodbye first! If there is a chance in the evening, I will go back and disturb you!" "
I know! Even if it's late, everyone will be waiting for you!" Anjiro replied excitedly.
He didn't know what the "god" wanted from Anjuro, but Xiaonan's kindness made him feel at ease.
Xingjulang laughed and followed Xiaonan along the bridge towards the steel jungle over there.
"Do you know that child?" Xiaonan asked.
Xingshourou said simply: "Yes, I once had a "fate" with you! He is a very courageous young man!" "
That's it... then there will be many people in this village who have a 'fate' with you. "Yes."
Xiao Nanyi pointed out, and then her voice became warmer, and she made an umbrella of paper to cover the two people's heads.
"Many people here are alive because of you. As the manager of this village, I should thank you on their behalf." "
You are too polite! I just did what I could."
Anjuro looked around and saw a very huge manta ray passing under the bridge.
When the manta ray walked away, he suddenly stood still, stared into Xiaonan's eyes and asked, "Can I ask you a question? It might be a bit presumptuous." "
Say." Xiaonan looked calm on the surface, but when he said "presumptuous" With this word, she suddenly thought of a precocious little kid who once asked her about her hair.
[You can't be more presumptuous than that kid, right? ]
"Is your ability to manipulate paper a kind of blood inheritance limit?"
[It is indeed not a question that someone who has just met should ask, but it is not considered presumptuous. ]
Many people have been curious about this question, so Xiaonan has nothing to hide, "I am learning a secret technique called 'God's Paper Master's Technique'. But in terms of learning conditions, it is almost the same as Blood Succession Limit." , it requires a certain genetic similarity to be able to do it. What, do you want to learn it?"
Considering that Anjuro is just a child, Xiaonan thinks it is normal to be interested in this kind of technique that allows people to fly.
"I have a junior who will definitely like this technique very much." The
"junior" Anjuro said refers to Kasumashira Tokidou Muichiro. That child spends most of his time looking up at the clouds in the sky. When there are no clouds, he I can fold paper to pass the time and use up my excess imagination.
If Giyuu can let Tokitou have such a blood inheritance limit, then the relationship between the two of them will definitely improve quickly.
For the sake of Giyuu's interpersonal relationship, Anjuro was really worried.
"That's it."
Xiaonan nodded and said casually: "If he has wind, earth, and chakra with two attributes, I can try to teach him..." " Maybe
it won't be so troublesome!"
She formally raised the presumptuous question: "Excuse me, can I have a piece of your hair?"
Xiaonan stumbled, but fortunately the ninja's excellent balance allowed her to stop steadily.
This sudden sense of déjà vu gave her a familiar dizziness.
She slowly turned her head with some self-doubt, and when she saw those big eyes as bright as lanterns, she knew that Anjuro was not just talking, but had raised this question very seriously.
[Could it be that my appearance or something is a bit too much to please the children? Especially a young genius like this...]
Why do two of them ask me for hair?
Suddenly, a horizontal lightning flashed in Xiaonan's mind.
Yes!
She remembered that she had heard the name "Xing Julang" before!
The righteous friend who asked her for hair last time, and the owner of the talking crow, seemed to be called "Xing Jurou".
"Don't you think..."
Xiaonan approached Anjuro with some gaffes, and asked in a low voice, "You want it for your friend, right?" "
That's right!"
Anjuro admitted frankly, optimistically thinking that he could achieve this. desire.
"It's just that he doesn't know how to speak, so I did it for him!" "
..."
[If he can't speak, that's absolutely correct. ]
Xiaonan suddenly thought of the agreement she made with Yiyong at that time, and quickly replaced the top layer of slightly red facial skin with white paper.
[Xiaonan, look at what you promised the children! Why does he still remember it now? ! ]
[Can't, can't continue this topic. ]
Xiaonan made up her mind, her voice suddenly turned cold.
"Tell him to ask me for it himself."
Xiaonan suddenly turned his head and walked forward quickly, while Xingjulang was confused and had to speed up to keep up.
I've made a huge setback, but I still have to write more often...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 93 Sun vs God (3/5)
Chapter 93 Sun vs. God (35)
Yuyin Village looks majestic, mainly because of its unusually tall vertical structure.
But after walking around for a while, Anjuro roughly guessed that the actual area of the island in the middle of the lake was actually less than 1/3 of Konoha, and the population density was even more incomparable.
Along the way, Xingjulang met many enthusiastic "acquaintances" without surprise.
But because of Xiaonan's high status, not everyone dared to approach and say hello to Anjuro.
But when they found Xingjulang, Xiaonan saw the excited expression and tears in his eyes, and became more sure of his previous thoughts - he
must keep this child.
After leaving the not-busy commercial street, the two came to the high tower in the center of the village.
Xingshourou had good eyesight and immediately saw the body hanging on the top of the tower, letting the crows rest on it, and then he stopped where he was.
This sense of déjà vu reminded him of the people of the Kingdom of Rain who were hanged from trees by the Rain Ninja in the past.
At least in terms of style, the two are highly unified.
But this corpse was even more miserable. The gray-brown ribs were exposed to the rain, and the right hand was missing, as if it had been chopped off.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaonan suddenly stopped when she heard the footsteps behind her, and turned around in confusion.
When she followed Xingjulang's line of sight, she couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.
She remembered -
although Purgatory Anjuro had an outstanding record, and among the characters he defeated, there were many close men around Sansho Hanzo, but he had never killed anyone, he just made it impossible for those guys to continue hurting others.
The visual impact of the scene in front of him might be a bit too much for Anjuro.
Apparently, she had no idea what ghosts could do.
"That's Sansho Hanzo."
Konan explained as coldly as possible, and Anjuro slowly turned his gaze back.
"If he died too easily, it would not be able to make up for the damage he caused to this country.
" Hanging him there is also to remind those ninjas who long to return to the Hanzo era not to have unrealistic delusions. "
After capturing Amegakure, Pain bloodbathed Hanzo's relatives and completely eradicated his cronies, but most of the Amegakure who surrendered survived.
These Amegakure were temporarily untrustworthy and are now idle.
Only Konan completed it. After the investigation, we are convinced that they can keep the secrets here before we can use them with confidence.
Hanzo's corpse is undoubtedly a threat to these people, so that they dare not act rashly even after losing their privileges.
"I know! "
Xing Julang said noncommittally: "Please move on. "
When Onimbutsuji Muzan was being punished at the bottom of the Hell, Immortal Mikawa Saneya often sneaked over from the underworld to see his misfortune, and then came back to tell others about it.
Although not everyone wants to know the current situation of Onibatsuji Muzan. , but after listening to it, I feel a sense of emotional release. For example, the insect pillar butterfly ninja is particularly obvious.
For the civilians in this country who have been under the shadow of Hanzo for a long time, just seeing Hanzo's body hanging there can also I felt relieved.
Although Anjuro did not approve of this cruel approach, he could understand it.
However, this behavior also exposed it to a certain extent, and Hanzo's reign of terror was also inherited to a certain extent.
Can I die today ? For Hanzo, anyone could be killed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
After all, in addition to showing strength, the leader of Yuyin must also have the purpose of promoting fear.
If you want to stabilize a chaotic place, fear is not the best, but it is definitely It is the fastest effective method.
And any kind of coercive measures that can bring quick feedback will gradually make people with power and strength addicted.
Since he can suppress everything with violence and terror, why should he bother to find other solutions? Where is the path to trouble?
But if things continue like this...
"..."
Seeing that Anjuro didn't say anything, Xiaonan was very satisfied with the child's sense of proportion.
She and Pain had differences on how to treat Hanzo. She
has a gentle personality. She was not in favor of continuing this style of creating terror from the beginning, because this was definitely not what Yahiko would do. What Yahiko
yearned for was a "completely different" Rain Country.
Therefore, after defeating Hanzo, Konan's thoughts Yes, it is enough to publicly execute him in front of the residents of Yuyin Village to let people know that Hanzo is dead; as for his family and relatives, they can be liquidated according to what they have done, and they should play their due role as much as possible. Function.
For example, how to manage a village of thousands of people? They, the latecomers, have no experience at all, and it is very necessary to use the waste.
However, Nagato's hatred for Hanzo was too unforgettable, and he directly bloodbathed all the top leaders of Yugakure.
In addition, "Madara" and Zetsu fanned the flames, as well as Scorpion and Kakuzu's later appreciation, which is why Hanzo's body has been hanging to this day.
Anjuro doesn't hide his emotions very much, and Konan can tell that he doesn't approve, but he doesn't say anything. .
Before getting acquainted with Nagato, this attitude may be just right.
[After all, he can no longer listen to any objections...]
[These two people should get along well.]
Xiaonan entered the high school with some worry. The open-air elevator room of the tower.
After pressing the button, the two people rose higher and higher amidst the rumbling sound of mechanical operation and the sound of metal friction that sounded like birdsong. The other buildings outside shrouded in hazy mist became smaller and smaller, and occasionally The walking figures gradually became ethereal.
At any rate, she occasionally went downstairs, but Pain always stood on a high place, looking down at the village through this layer of mist...
But if Hiruzen Sarutobi used a crystal ball He couldn't see the truth of Konoha clearly. Standing there, could he really understand the Hidden Rain Village again?
"Dang!" "
At about the height of the twelfth or third floor of an ordinary building, the elevator slowly stopped.
Directly opposite the elevator door was a thick door with a black background and red clouds. In the dim light, it looked like a ferocious beast. The bloody mouth is being closed.
[Why is it so spooky?]
The nine-tailed chakra in Anjuro's body cursed.
[The old man is not the kind of person who can't see the light.]
Anjuro also felt the same. But he didn't want to be the first. Use impressions to evaluate others.
But to be honest, if the red cloud on the door were replaced by a red crescent moon, and it was said that this was the hiding place of Muzan Kibutsuji and Twelve Kisuki, Anjuro would also believe it.
"This is the headquarters of Akatsuki."
Xiaonan led Xingshou Lang a few steps forward, and the door opened silently, revealing a dark and deep corridor.
"Let's go, don't keep Payne waiting too long."
[Nine Lama, have you heard of the name "Payne"? ]
Xingjuro meditated silently in the corridor, but he started to communicate with Kyuubi in his heart.
The interior of this building is not within the coverage of Yutora's art of freedom, so it can be detected by Kagura's Heart Eye.
He could clearly feel that he was approaching a very powerful individual.
The feeling the other party gave him was much stronger than that of the Third Hokage and Tsunade.
The reason why Anjuro used the term "individual" instead of "life" to describe it was because he detected that the chakra in the opponent's body was a ball of stagnant water, and there was no manufacturing process like that of a living person.
It was like cotton stuffed into a rag doll, but it was very different from the puppets of the Kingdom of Wind that he had seen outside.
[Have not heard. It's a strange name, very different from the old man. ]
Kyuubi is in a state of complete concentration -
not only the part in Anjuro's body, but also the body of Kyuubi far away in Konoha, is also trying its best to maintain contact with this side.
He must see clearly what kind of person this guy with old man eyes is!
The footsteps of Anjuro and Konan gradually began to echo, and the two entered an empty room that looked like a church hall.
There are ten low red seats in the center of the hall, which are arranged in a circle around the light beam cast from the skylight of the dome, but the rest of the hall is completely in darkness, looking mysterious and depressing.
[Ten seats, is it because there are ten people in this organization? ]
Xingshou Lang stopped outside the circle of seats at Xiaonan's signal.
"Penn, we're here."
Xiaonan's voice echoed in the darkness.
Purgatory Anjuro saw the powerful individual he had detected quietly emerge from the shadow behind a red seat.
To his surprise, although this young man with short orange hair also had round eyes, he was definitely not the same person he met and fought with last time.
This was the first time he saw the handsome man in front of him.
Anjuro felt an uneasy stirring in his abdomen, and immediately turned his consciousness over.
[Yes! ]
Kyuubi shouted excitedly: [It is indeed the old man's eyes that are right! But why... I always feel that these eyes feel very familiar. ]
Before Anjuro could ask further questions, it added maliciously: [It's so familiar that it makes people feel sick. ]
[nausea? ]
Anjuro is somewhat aware of Kyuubi's limited vocabulary.
When referring to Naruto, his mother, and Uzumaki Mito, Kyuubi usually uses the words "evil" and "hateful".
Only when he was quarreling with Giyu (actually it was the only one quarreling), Kyuubi would use "disgusting" to describe Giyu and all the Uchiha people's eyes.
Anjuro once asked Kyuubi why he hated Uchiha so much, but maybe it was related to some embarrassing past events, Kyuubi did not explain clearly.
But this time, it actually used the same word to describe the man in front of it.
Anjuro was sure of at least one thing - Payne's eyes were probably not dug out from the body of the Sage of Six Paths and then installed.
After all, every time he mentioned the Sage of Six Paths, although Kyuubi occasionally complained, he was generally full of respect and nostalgia.
If Pain's eyes belonged to the Sage of Six Paths himself, it wouldn't have this attitude.
[Most likely, the person in front of me is the descendant of that "god". ]
Sure enough, as if to confirm his guess, when Pain came to Xingjulang expressionlessly, Konan immediately started the introduction session.
"This is Pain, the 'leader' of Akatsuki and the 'god' of the Land of Rain." "
This is the Infernal Anjurou we have been looking for."
Then there was a brief silence that spread in the darkness.
"Nice to meet you! My name is Purgatory Anjuro!"
A loud voice radiated from Anjuro's chest, and the whole space seemed to immediately become brighter.
He extended his right hand to Payne, but Payne had no intention of holding it.
His emotionless eyes scanned Anjuro coldly, and it took him a long time to utter a sentence: "For a person of this age, you are too powerful."
Although Anjuro is tall, his age cannot be concealed. Pain with the Samsara Eye.
The last time Xingshoulang came, he was a clone, and Zhu Shengdao thought he was at least twelve years old. But now that he saw its true form, Payne realized that he was terribly wrong.
The child was only about ten years old.
He had the Rinnegan, and when he was ten years old, he had just learned a few C-level ninjutsu from Jiraiya.
Just when Xiaonan thought that this sudden compliment was Payne's goodwill, she heard the other person's words immediately after.
"Except for the ninja villages of the five major countries, I don't believe that anyone else can cultivate a ninja like you." The
turbulent air flowed out of him without warning, pushing Konan back two steps, and the latter panicked. , and suddenly shouted: "Penn!"
"Tell me, who sent you to the Kingdom of Rain?"
Payn did not make a move, but the circles under his eyes that suddenly shrank to the extreme looked extremely cold. .
The golden-red circles and the lavender circles were like lanterns facing mosquito coils, staring at each other in the tense darkness, but Anjuro was not nervous at all.
Neither he nor Kyuubi felt much malice from the other.
"You misunderstood, I am not a ninja!"
Anjuro's first answer made Konan feel a little familiar - the boy named Giyu also said the same thing back then.
"I don't belong to any country! I'm here just because there are the most people who need my help!"
"If you ask me where I belong, I can only say that the Land of Rain is the starting point of my life in this world! So it has some special meaning!"
This is the truth, so Anjuro said it very calmly.
He was resurrected by Yongyong in the fortress of the Kingdom of Rain.
Of course, when Konan and Payne heard this, they automatically translated it into "I was born in the Land of Rain."
Everyone knows what the starting point of life means.
This child, so tall and tall, speaks in a literary and artistic way, with all kinds of metaphors...
As if to testify for Xingjuro, Xiaonan quickly added: "Penn, the group of children with Hydrangea, he was the one who rescued them back then. Go and get cured. Since then, he has been active in the Kingdom of Rain!"
Sure enough, Payne's momentum calmed down.
It's not that Konan's words had any effect, but based on his observation, Anjuro didn't lie.
Since he was a child of the Kingdom of Rain, he was one of his own, so he gave up the temptation and turned around to walk towards the circle of seats.
Konan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Anjurou with a hint of apology, but the latter just smiled at her, which immediately made her feel at ease.
Now that the temptation is over, it's time to get down to business.
The three of them formed an equilateral triangle, each sitting in a position, just like when they were discussing with "Madara" before.
"Since you are here in person, you must have agreed to my last invitation and decided to join Xiao."
Payne sat upright, with the light pillar in the middle, ready to start psychological construction activities for new employees.
Diagonal Du and Scorpio are attracted by their interests, but for such a half-year-old child, perhaps Akatsuki's purpose can be exaggerated to a greater extent.
"But I still want to tell you in detail about Xiao's philosophy and ambitions, as well as the ultimate goal we want to achieve, which is-"
As his emotions gradually became fuller, Payne's voice became higher and higher, until After rising to the top of this empty room, it seemed as if sacred chants (BGM: ritual) suddenly sounded all around, just waiting for him to finish the last few words of this sentence.
"The world and..."
"Please wait a moment!"
Payne's emotions, which he had spent half an hour alone here brewing, were suddenly interrupted by a louder voice.
What he was about to say was like a cannonball stuck in the barrel and rolling back.
The look on his face when he looked at Anjuro suddenly became very unpleasant -
Kyuubi could not help but feel a little nervous when he sensed this malicious intent.
It wanted to stop Anjuro from talking, but it was already too late.
"You may have misunderstood something!"
Xingshou Lang said loudly: "I am not here to join this organization, but to determine whether Yuyin Village is suitable for everyone to live in!
"But frankly speaking, although it is only in I've been wandering around here for half an hour, but I'm still...
"Very disappointed!"
There are still two chapters of Big Brother, and then about eight chapters of Giyuu, and the Butterfly Ninja will probably appear.
Of course, based on my understanding of myself, it will only be longer and not shorter...
Alas, I can't find the feeling I had before.
I have something to do tomorrow and the day after, so I won't necessarily update, so I'd like to say hello in advance.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 94 Sun vs God (4/5)
Chapter 94 Sun vs. God (45)
Two consecutive mental stimulations made Nagato a little confused deep in another high tower.
Alone in the darkness, he was stunned for a while, and the sluggishness on his thin face gradually turned into raging anger, which immediately manifested itself in Tiandao Payne, who was "remotely controlled" by him.
"Are you teasing me?"
These words were spoken through gritted teeth, and coupled with Tiandao Payne's deep voice, the threat was palpable.
Since Yahiko's death, he and Konan have only two achievements that they are proud of -
one is the establishment of the Akatsuki organization, and the other is the takeover of Amegakure Village.
But this Purgatory Anjuro, even if he refused to join the "Akatsuki" twice in a row, now he still looks down on the Amegakure Village under their rule?
Doesn't this mean that in Purgatory Anjuro's heart, the achievements he is secretly proud of are not worth mentioning at all?
If Anjuro was just a casual passerby, Payne would naturally be too lazy to pay attention to his opinion.
However, both he and Xiaonan attached great importance to this child who had great influence in the Land of Rain, so they cared very much about Anjurou's evaluation. They really couldn't say "childish words" and laugh it off.
What he just heard made Payne, who was immersed in a huge sense of accomplishment not long ago, unable to accept it.
Payne, who had not been violated by anyone in the past ten years, was furious.
At the moment, he didn't directly use Shinra Tenzheng to drive out this brat who was bragging. It was simply because of his young age and his status as a person born in the Land of Rain.
But Anjuro was only one step away from touching the limit of his endurance.
"I never tease others, I just tell the truth!"
Xingjulang was not moved by the anger shown by the other party. He sat upright as usual, without any hint of malice.
"If Amegakure Village still intends to maintain this status quo, I really can't sincerely advise everyone to move here and settle down, because I understand their thoughts!"
Xingjuro is not a volunteer. Most of the time, he is quite considerate of others when he speaks. of feeling.
But this time, he really saw a big hidden danger in this village, so he spoke out without any modification.
Xingjuro would not do such a thing by making others misunderstand him in a major matter.
However, as before, he didn't mean any offense when he spoke, and he still had a slight smile on his face.
To Payne, however, that smile looked like a blatant taunt, tripping over his sensitive nerves.
Just when Payne wanted to do something, Xiaonan stood up before him.
"I don't understand!"
The "angel" looked more serious than ever before, and asked like a prosecutor who was tricked by the defense lawyer: "Could it be said that letting them live in Yuyin Village, which has sufficient supplies, will be better than living in Yuyin Village? Is that place worse where you only have berries and mushrooms to satisfy your hunger?"
[I haven't seen Xiao Nan so angry for a long time. ]
Nagato sighed inwardly, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He also understood why Xiaonan was angry.
During this time, Xiaonan was actually the village chief of Yuyin Village.
Purgatory Anjuro just said that Amegakure Village is not suitable for living. He is undoubtedly directly accusing Konan of not managing this place well.
Thinking of this, he manipulated Payne into silence, intending to see what Anjuro would say.
"Please answer some of my questions first!"
Xingjulang sensed that Payne's malice had subsided slightly, so he no longer guarded against him, but asked directly to Xiaonan: "I have heard that because of the toxicity in the water source, Due to the soil erosion caused by rainfall, the Land of Rain has been unable to provide food on its own since the Second Ninja War. Since a large number of villages outside the Hidden Rain Village were abandoned, the ninjas led by Hanzo accepted employment and almost became this The country's only source of income, isn't that true?"
Xiaonan and Payne looked at each other, a little surprised. They didn't expect Xingjuro to study such a problem at such a young age.
In fact, given the scope of Anjuro's personal interests, he would not be able to say such a thing.
But there was a Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha who trained him as the successor of Hokage.
Every time he chatted with the old man who managed a village of more than 100,000 people, he would gain some insights, not to mention that Sarutobi Hiruzen did this intentionally.
"That's right."
Xiaonan asked, "But what does this have to do with us now..."
"Please listen to me first!"
Xingjulang made a calm gesture.
Xiaonan felt a little calmer and sat down directly next to him.
"In short, the demographic structure of Yuyin Village has been very special since then.
"Because ninjas have become the country's sole economic pillar, and food is completely dependent on purchasing from foreign countries. The only way for civilians to survive is to serve ninjas. In this village, except for some people who work in the power plant, the rest of the civilians either become domestic servants of ninjas, or serve the ninjas in this village in other ways, such as restaurants, custom shops, casinos and bathhouses.
"In other words, the situation in Rain Hidden Village is that for ninjas, any civilian can be replaced at will; and the civilians cannot survive without ninjas! And this has also led to the country of rain only It requires a small number of civilians to operate, and those extra civilians living outside Yuyin Village have become a factor of instability. This is why Hanzo raised a butcher's knife against them! And all of this is simply because they are in The role played in this country is not important at all!"
This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the essential difference between the Rain Country and other big countries -
ninjas do not need their own civilians to produce food and goods for support, so naturally they do not need In a relatively harmonious "military-civilian" relationship like Konoha's, wanting to fight or kill depends entirely on the ninja's joy and anger.
Xiaonan and Payne thought for a while and nodded in unison.
"Then I would like to ask you two, since you replaced Hanzo, what role have the civilians of the Kingdom of Rain played?"
After a short silence, Konan's lips were slightly opened, and his face was slightly pale.
Xingjuro nodded heavily: "You should have thought of it! Because we have to keep the secret of Sanshouyu Hanzo's death, Amegakure Village only uses trustworthy people, so only a few ninjas are working. From what we have just walked along Judging from the situation, except for some civilians who are responsible for repairing the damaged houses and--"
Anjuro pointed to the elevator on the opposite side of the corridor, "except for the workers working in the power plant, most ninjas and civilians are idle at home. ! This situation should have lasted for two months, and I don't know how long it will continue for! I would like to ask, how many residents are there in Yuyin Village now? How many ninjas and how many civilians are there? "
Konan and Payne exchanged a look, and then immediately answered: "Fifteen hundred ninjas, about eight thousand civilians, less than ten thousand people in total..."
Then she added: "But ours There is plenty of food and vegetables. Even if the number of people doubles, everyone can be guaranteed to have enough to eat." "
I can see that you are very serious about getting everyone rid of hunger!"
Anzuro's words made Xiao Nan His face softened, "Then, where does the food come from?"
"...the members of Akatsuki make money, and then go to other countries to exchange it for food and bring it back. There is a dedicated person in charge of it."
She is responsible for the logistics of Yuyin Village. Hosted, but operated by Kakuzu.
He is old, has many connections, and has a reputation for being evil. He can always find a way to buy (rob?) the most food with the least money.
Thinking of this, she emphasized: "Although most people in the village have no jobs, we still give enough food to everyone. When more and more people can be trusted, the situation will get better."
"I know you have good intentions, but the actual situation is-"
Xingjuro pointed to the ground and said the key.
"In the past, the common people in Yuyin Village had to rely on ninjas to live; but now, everyone - whether they are civilians or ninjas, have to rely on the charity of these two people to live! It seems that everyone is full of food and drink. They no longer worry about being bullied, but their insignificance in this village has not changed!
"The masters of this village used to be Hanzo and the ninjas loyal to him, but now, there are only two of them.
"Even if you can trust more and more ninjas, and after a while, ninjas can support this country again, the status of civilians has still not changed! In the eyes of ninjas, they are still dispensable. Especially me In the village they represent, there are many young and old among them. Not to mention serving ninjas, they even need others to take care of them. After coming here, in the eyes of others, they will become those who can get it without a job. The burden of food will lead to more serious hostility!"
Seeing Xiaonan's face become more solemn, Xingjuro brought the topic back.
"Lord Angel, this is why you went to the village to invite everyone to Yuyin Village, but they hesitated.
"Now that Hanzo is dead, their safety is almost no longer a problem. They collect berries and mushrooms in the forest. Although the food is simple, it is enough to support themselves. They are the masters of the village. With the current population, they can sustain it for another ten years until the next generation is born without much pressure! But if you go to Yuyin Village, you will certainly have more choices, but the vital lifeline of food is in the hands of outsiders, that is, the two of you. In the future, it will be in the hands of those more important ninjas. But in this way, it's just like returning to the past. How is it different from livestock waiting to be slaughtered..." "
You two, if we don't solve this basic problem, I can't persuade them to move here! "
Hearing this, Xiao Nan realized that when they managed this country, they had only given away food and security from a high position, but did not discover the unstable factors hidden in the population structure. She couldn't help but pick her fingers in confusion.
This is why The reason why she didn't agree with killing all the senior members of Amegakure at the beginning.
She didn't even think about the details Anjuro said. Managing a village/city is far more complicated than she thought. The
two of them were pure laymen, just doing It was just the most superficial action.
On the contrary, Payne, after being hit one after another, said in a somewhat impatient tone: "After all, you still don't believe that we will treat them well!
"As long as I am here, nothing like what you said will happen. All the people of the Kingdom of Rain are the people of God. I will never let the ninjas do whatever they want just because they are not that important. In my eyes Here, there is not much difference between ordinary people and ninjas."
Speaking of this, Payne said seriously: "I will treat everyone equally. This is the promise of 'God', and the ninjas of the Land of Rain must also obey it, without any exceptions. !"
Otherwise, what awaits those people is his severe sanctions!
Payne really thought so, so he spoke loudly.
This is the characteristic of Payne and most of the powerful people whose power suddenly increased. They think that they can use their strength to solve all difficulties, use their strength to simplify complex problems, and act rashly to show their ideal scenes without thinking about anything else.
"I know you are very powerful! You have the eyes of the legendary Immortal of Six Paths. You are indeed unimaginably powerful!"
Xingshou Lang's words made Pain feel a little comfortable, and he finally heard a compliment about him.
"I didn't expect you to actually know the origin of these eyes."
Payne glanced at Xingshourou approvingly in return for the compliment he just received.
But he would soon regret it.
"But as far as I know, the Sage of Six Paths will also die one day."
Purgatory Anjuro saw the frozen expressions of Pain and Konan at the same time, but he still kept talking.
"The only way the situation you envision can be maintained is if you can always manage this country, but this is obviously impossible! Please see the reality clearly before making a decision!" He
is someone who has experienced the Meiji Restoration.
Many idealized policies are thought to lack foundation and can only be maintained because the person presiding over them is alive or in power.
But once they die or step down, things will immediately change.
"Anjuro, stop talking!"
Seeing Payne suddenly fall into eerie silence over there, Konan quickly stopped Anjuro from continuing.
She stood up and stood between Anjurou and Payne. Then with a comforting look, she stretched out her right hand to reach Payne's shoulder, but Payne held her wrist in mid-air.
"Are you questioning the power of 'god'?"
Payne pulled Konan away slightly roughly and asked almost word for word: "Purgatory Anjuro."
Xiaonan was held by Payne's wrist and said He was speechless and could only wink at Anjuro, but the latter just smiled back.
"I'm just seeking truth from facts!"
Xingjulang ignored Xiaonan's reminder and said his thoughts sincerely without blinking: "You may be killed, you may be overthrown, no one can accurately Predict the future!"
[Even the lord's ability to foresee is not always effective. ]
Right now, anyone who looks at Xingjulang's expression knows that he really thinks so.
This Pain is very strong, but not so powerful that he has no opponent.
When he opened Kagura's Heart Eye in Konoha, he had detected at least two ninjas who could rival Pain, so he had such an idea.
"Really, I understand..."
After hearing this, Payne seemed to sigh, "Because of your age and what you have done for the Kingdom of Rain in the past two years, I have only tolerated you until now. "
He let go of Xiaonan's wrist, and then with a gentle sweep, an invisible force immediately pushed her down onto the seat next to her, and drove her back slowly, submerging her into the surrounding darkness.
"But maybe it was my mercifulness when we met last time that caused a genius like you to have a wrong estimate of the power of God. This was my negligence..." [
"My" mercifulness? ]
Purgatory Anjuro caught a keyword.
The last time he met the circle-eyed person who could summon monsters was definitely not the person in front of him. Why did he say this?
What is the relationship between them?
Without giving him time to continue, Payne slowly stood up.
"In that case, I don't need to waste any more words.
"Experience it well. The power of God cannot be observed with just your ordinary eyes!
"Purgatory Anjuro... If you can survive this blow, you will be qualified to continue talking to me. . "
[Hey! Anjuro! Be careful!]
Suddenly, the nine-tailed chakra in Anjuro's belly vibrated manically, launching the loudest warning in its history.
Pain stared at Anjuro and suddenly became alert, His cold eyes suddenly widened without warning, and he uttered four syllables very clearly -
"Shinra Tenzheng. "
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
