Chapter 88: Invasion of Iwagakure  

Thinking of this, Pain was somewhat disdainful. A man with such great power was actually addicted to women.

Pain did not understand, nor did he want to understand. For him, women were a kind of distraction that would only affect the speed of his sealing.

"Brother Pain, come in quickly, what are you doing standing outside?" Sasuke walked towards Pain with a warm face.

Based on the principle of giving Sasuke face, Pain was just about to extend his hand to chat with Sasuke.

However, Sasuke bypassed him directly and pulled Konan inside with his big hand. Pain unnoticeably retracted his outstretched hand to his waist, his eyes extremely cold.

"Konan, long time no see. I miss you so much."

"Sasuke, please respect yourself," Konan tried to break free from Sasuke's grip, but it was doomed to be in vain.

Why would Sasuke let go of a hand he held by his own ability? If Pain hadn't been there, he would have wanted to teach Konan a lesson.

"Pain, do you have anything to discuss with me?" Sasuke gently touched her jade hand under Konan's rolling eyes before letting go.

"Sasuke, the plan to capture the tailed beasts has begun. I want to give you the task of capturing the Four-Tails Son Goku and the Five-Tails Kokuō," Pain said.

The two Jinchūriki are currently in the Hidden Rock Village, which is a bit tricky. He couldn't take action for the time being, otherwise, the subsequent plan would not be easy to implement.

Pain thought of Sasuke. It would not be a waste to leave such a good fighting force unused. Originally, he planned to give this task to the Kismae and Demon duo.

"The Hidden Rock Village?" Sasuke agreed after thinking for less than a moment, "But I need help. How about you lend me Miss Konan?"

Pain decisively refused. How could he let Konan stay with Sasuke? He knew this guy's thoughts very well.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his eyes were somewhat cold, and he clenched his other hand behind his back but still did not choose to attack Pain.

"Hahaha, if you don't want to, forget it. I, Uchiha Sasuke, hate to force others to do things they don't want to do." Even the vigilant Konan didn't notice that a circular black spell was taking shape behind her.

After chatting for a few words, Sasuke sent Pain and the others away, which made Pain feel a little too relaxed. He rejected Sasuke and was ready to fight with Sasuke just now, but Sasuke let them go so easily.

Konan said, "Pain, maybe Uchiha Sasuke's character is not as evil as you think. He is just more playful and cunning."

Pain took a deep look at Konan, "Konan, don't judge a person's goodness or badness by their age."

"We have to see what they have done. Sasuke is different from others."

"He is a born evil person. From the first time I saw him, I knew that the evil of Uchiha was fully displayed in him."

The robes on Pain's body rustled. Looking at the sun that was about to set in front of him, he felt a little tired for the first time.

When will such days end? He lived on the streets in his childhood and suffered from the war.

Fortunately, he was taught by his mentor and had the ability to stand firm in troubled times. But that battle completely killed the warmth in his heart.

The only motivation that supported him to survive was to realize his best friend's dream. He wanted to let the world understand pain, endure pain, and finally wake up and sympathize with others.

After sending Pain away, Sasuke sat down and thought quietly. He had planted the spell on Konan.

As long as it was not activated, the spell would always be hidden deep in the flesh. Even Nagato with the Rinnegan would find it difficult to see through his calculations.

As long as it was guided slightly, the dark chakra would burst out instantly. Even Nagato would die without any defense if he took this move.

Although Sasuke did not think that Pain could pose any threat to him, he still left a little trick. It's better to be cautious, after all, there is Uchiha Obito behind him watching the ninja world.

As for Konan's safety, Sasuke didn't care much. Liking and not using are two different things. There is no shortage of beautiful women in this world.

If she doesn't know what's good for her, she can only be sent to heaven. Sasuke will not be soft-hearted to anyone who blocks his progress.

"Huh, Kimimaro, go to Iwagakure immediately to prepare for the reception. I will be there in two days." Sasuke laughed and said nothing more.

He believed that Kimimaro would seriously complete everything he asked. So far, Kimimaro has not let him down. Kimimaro smiled slightly and disappeared on the spot.

--------

Iwagakure, as one of the five major ninja villages, has been prosperous in recent years and has been expanding militarily.

First, it went to war with Kumogakure in the Third World War, killed the Third Raikage with a trick, and then invaded the south of the Land of Fire.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze and others blowing up the Kannabi Bridge, a war would have been inevitable.

So no one would have thought that someone would dare to challenge Iwagakure, which is still at its peak.

The terrain of Iwagakure and Kumogakure is at two extremes. Kumogakure was built on a high mountain, while Iwagakure is surrounded by rocks.

Such a location has both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that it is difficult for the enemy to invade on a large scale, and the bad thing is that it is difficult for them to communicate with the outside world.

For the development of the village, the Tsuchikage has been trying to solve this problem. He plans to build a train track to the outside world to bring prosperity to Iwagakure. However, this is a huge project.

At present, the ninja world is not peaceful, so Ōnoki can only suppress this plan for now. In fact, he wants to get out of the mountains more than anyone else.

The environment of Iwagakure is too harsh. It can't be compared with Konoha, which is in the center of the ninja world.

Sometimes Ōnoki can't help but sigh. If his predecessor Tsuchikage had been as awesome as Hashirama, maybe Iwagakure would be living and working in the Land of Fire now.

Of course, this is just a thought. He doesn't know how strong Hashirama Senju was, but Ōnoki always thinks of the Shura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, who is as famous as him.

Even if he thinks he has inherited all the skills of Lord Mu, he still doesn't have the courage to face his heart.

The scene of that year seemed to have happened yesterday. The Lord Mu, whom he admired most, was like an ant in front of Uchiha Madara, begging for his leniency.

"Haha, Ōnoki, you are really lame, afraid of a ninja who died a long time ago," Ōnoki smiled to himself.

It was late at night, and Ōnoki finally finished correcting all the documents. He was so sleepy that he just lay on the desk and prepared to deal with it casually for the night.

If he went home at this time, he would wake up Kurotsuchi. Ōnoki didn't realize that a disaster was coming.
