Chapter 16: Village Hidden by Rain (Amegakure)
At the beginning of the lantern, in the land of fire, in a poor village.
This village is located on the edge of the Fire Nation, and most of the people here live by hunting because of the inconvenience of transportation because of its location in the forest.
There is a restaurant + pub + grocery store in the village, and there will be drunks here every night.
In the corner of the restaurant, three men sat around a wooden table with rudimentary food on it.
"How far is it?"
Su Xiao spoke, and the atmosphere of the three of them was a little weird at this time.
Kisame sat beside Su Xiao, with the Samehada beside his hand, ready to swing at Su Xiao at any time, and Itachi sat farther away from Su Xiao.
Kisame coughed dryly. He finally knew why Pain invited Su Xiao to join him. At this time, he was less than half a meter away from Su Xiao. The sharpness made him uncomfortable. The man beside him seemed to be cutting off his head at any time. knife, sharp and aggressive.
"Soon, if you travel overnight, you can arrive in eight hours at most."
Itachi's face was calm, but he began to doubt Su Xiao in his heart. The other party seemed to be eager to join Akatsuki. Considering his identity as a spy, Itachi didn't mention this.
"You desperately want to join us?"
Kisame opened his mouth. Although he is a rebellious ninja, he is a very competent and loyal ninja. In the follow-up plot, Kisame was caught, and the enemy wanted the perceptive ninja to get information in his mind.
The choice of Kisame at that time was admirable. He broke free, and after judging that he could not escape, he trapped himself with the water prison technique, and channeled a shark to devour himself, just to not reveal information. This kind of cruelty and loyalty is very difficult even for enemies. admire.
As long as Kisame joins a certain force and agrees with this force, he will never make any move to betray that force.
"Anbu of Mist Shinobi is chasing me, otherwise why do you think I should join the Iron Country."
"Oh? It seems that you joined us to avoid the pursuit of Kirigakure"
"Yes, I have some grievances with the current Mizukage in Mist Village. If there is a chance, I would like to kill that woman. She also wants to kill me. Mist's Anbu has already chased after the country of fire."
Hearing this information, Kisame nodded. Some people had joined Akatsuki to avoid disasters before, and the Akatsuki organization was a warmonger in the eyes of outsiders.
Akatsuki organization is a mercenary organization that does not belong to any country. They provoked some small wars, and then monopolized the war commissions of small countries at low prices, increasing the scale of wars, and then broke the ninja system of big countries and monopolized all wars.
They share several purposes.
One, gather a lot of money to prepare for the future.
Second, provoking small-scale wars, gradually expanding the scale of wars, and breaking the current system.
Three, capture the tail beast, use the tail beast weapon to conquer and unify the world, thereby bringing peace.
This was Akatsuki's purpose during Nagato's rule. Nagato hated war deeply. He knew that to end the war, a bigger war would need to break out. Only by breaking the Ninja village system could there be true peace.
Nagato's ideal is very good, but unfortunately, as long as human beings exist, the war will not stop.
Jealousy, hatred, discrimination, arrogance, interests, too many things are enough to provoke war.
Although war is cruel, it is an indispensable point for the progress of human civilization.
Knowing that Su Xiao was being hunted down by Mist Ninja Anbu, itachi and Kisame did not show anything, and more than 50% of the members of Akatsuki Organization were chased and killed by various ninja villages.
After a short rest after the meal, the three continued on their way, and the destination was Village Hidden by Rain in the Land of Rain on the border of the Land of Fire.
Although the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Water have similar names, they are far apart.
The Land of Rain is a small country. It rains all the year round, and it is said that it never stops.
Of course, the rain will not stop there, because it is a large-scale ninjutsu barrier. After the enemy enters the country of rain, once they get wet with rain, they will be occupied.
Now Amegakure is the base camp of Akatsuki Organization, and the leader of Akatsuki Organization is Nagato who is also the real leader of Amegakure.
Akatsuki in the current era is unclear about good and evil, and if you want to define it, Akatsuki in this era is an organization that uses extreme means to create future peace.
In the future, after Nagato's death, the Akatsuki organization fell into the hands of Uchiha Obito. Akatsuki at that time was a terrorist organization in the true sense, acting for one person's will.
Therefore, the Akatsuki in this period is different from the Akatsuki in the future. If it is the Akatsuki organization in the later period, Su Xiao will never join.
The three of them walked through the dark night, and because the three of them traveled too fast, Mist Shinnobi Anbu, who was chasing Su Xiao, could only sigh in admiration.
As for the land of rain, Kirigakure Anbu came to die as many times as possible.
After eight hours on the road, the sky was bright.
Different from the previous mornings, today's morning is particularly gloomy, and the sky is covered with gray, which means that it has reached the territory of the Rain Country.
Sporadic raindrops fell, and as several people moved forward, the rain became heavier and heavier.
The rain fell on Su Xiao, the light blue lightning flashed, and the chakra mixed in the rain was instantly devoured.
Itachi, who was running in front, frowned when he looked at Su Xiao, and he clearly felt the sense of energy annihilation.
Su Xiao changed in Itachi's perception, not only the sharpness before, but an inexplicable threat. The other party has a special energy in his body.
Ka Ka Ka ~
Samehada behind Kisame trembled, which made Kisame's face change.
"what happened."
Itachi thinks that Kisame senses the enemy.
"It's okay, Samehada senses some kind of energy, are you right, Byakuya."
"who knows."
Su Xiao put away the Azure Steel Shadow energy, this is just an instinctive reaction.
The rain formation in Rain Nin Village is called "Rainmaker Jutsu/Rain Tiger at Will Technique(Ukojizai no Jutsu)", which is Nagato's ninjutsu, which is used to perceive the enemy.
Now that Su Xiao has arrived near Amegakure, Nagato must have felt it.
The area of Amegakure is not large. The buildings here are tall and the tops are tapered. This is the result of the year-round rainfall.
The cone-shaped roof can avoid roof leakage and noise to the greatest extent, and reduce maintenance costs.
The whole Amagakure is full of metal pipes extending in all directions, similar to heating pipes, and their specific functions are unknown.
"Here, I'll take you to see the leader."
When Kisame spoke, Itachi turned and walked away, walking very slowly.
"Looks like your partner's health isn't very good."
Su Xiao looked at Itachi, who was walking away, and the other party's life aura fluctuated from strength to strength, as if he had overdrawn his body's energy all year round.
"What's the meaning?"
Kisame and Itachi have a good relationship, and the two have similar experiences.
"It's nothing, don't you see the leader?"
"follow me."
...
In Amegakure, a metal high-rise building dozens of meters high, in the top room, the room was dark, only the faint sound of breathing.
"Konan."
The call came, hoarse and tired.
The door opened, and a blue-haired woman walked into the room.
As the woman opened the door, a shimmer of light poured into the room. There was an iron machine in the room, and a man with a withered body and a pale complexion stood on it. The man's hands were linked to the machine, which seemed to be a simple control device.
The man has dull red hair. Because he is too thin, his ribs are clearly visible. The most striking thing is the man's back. Black iron rods are stuck on his back, and there are connection points behind the iron rods.
