Chapter 201 Things are different, goodbye Nagato
Land of Rain, Dongbo Town.
The Akatsuki organization has developed to the present, and can appear in any city in a grandiose manner.
It can be said that apart from Rain Shinobi Village and the former Daming House, they are the strongest force-this is on the premise that they did not take the initiative to obtain higher rights.
If this fire really burns out, they will immediately become the rulers of the Kingdom of Rain.
On the tallest building in Dongbo Town, members of the Akatsuki organization come and go.
Their existing conditions no longer require them to be in cold and hungry caves every day, but they have a solid mobile base.
The so-called mobile bases mean that no matter where they go, the local aristocratic rulers will take the initiative to give way to their bases.
Some of these nobles are sincere, and some are forced to do it because of the situation.
Yahiko looked at the rare good weather, but his mood was not relaxed.
He put down the pen in his hand and began to think about his next speech plan.
There are not many people hindering them in the Rain Country, and Yahiko has even begun to poach the corners of the Daimyo Mansion.
"The war is over, there is not much time left for us"
The Akatsuki organization has frequently caught spies sent by other countries recently, which shows that they have come out of the haze of war and started to pay attention to this side.
Yahiko wanted to speed up the tempo, but Hanzō of the Salamander was a mountain to climb.
"I don't know what's going on with Konan."
Yahiko was sighing, noticing the movement of cars and horses outside.
Konan is back.
But man has returned, but God seems to have been lost.
"Konan, Konan?"
Yahiko yelled several times, and Konan just seemed to hear it.
"Sorry, I'm a little distracted."
Konan was talking, but he just glanced at him, and the focus of his eyes didn't know where to go.
Yahiko was a little strange: "Didn't you go to Xianyin Island? Have the weapons ordered there arrived?"
Konan nodded: "I brought them all back, enough to arm them, and there are spares."
If the Kingdom of Rain wants to solve the problem quickly, it cannot rely solely on the Akatsuki organization. Ordinary people here who are willing to fight for it must also be armed.
Those people were either strong and strong, or some people who knew katana skills, or some wandering ninjas who had come over.
It won't work for them to fight Rain Shinobi Village, but the private soldiers used to deal with the nobles will be enough.
When it fully blooms, it will be caught off guard and the opposition forces will be unable to attack for a while.
Yahiko was relieved when he heard the news, and he was worried whether Konan's state was related to the failure of the mission.
Since it doesn't matter, he continued: "Now the Land of Fire is testing us more and more frequently, we need to speed up. Maybe we should ask Xianyin Island for support?"
If it was Yahiko in the past, maybe he would be more independent, but he, who has died once, understands that the so-called reserve is useless.
It is really stupid to have a good external force and let yourself lose more for nothing, or even cause the mission to fail.
And to communicate with Xianyin Island, you have to rely on Konan.
Even if Yahiko himself has a good relationship with Xianyin Island, he knows Xianyin Island, or Uchiha Yuye is more concerned about Konan itself.
"Huh? Then I'll go there again?" Konan hesitated.
"Konan, what happened?" Yahiko frowned. Konan was not so hesitant and unconfident in the past.
No matter how you look at it now, Konan is a bit too soft.
"It's nothing." Konan sighed with a complicated expression, and hesitated, "Yuye's big brother is married."
Yu Ye's wedding is not widely spread in the ninja world, basically they take the initiative to invite some people they know, and some people to join in the fun.
The situation in the Kingdom of Rain is obviously not suitable for participating with great fanfare, so Yu Ye didn't deliberately invite them, but just sent information.
But Konan happened to have something to go to, and it turned out that people left faster than the information, and learned in advance.
Konan walked to Xianyin Island and found that when the wedding started, he was in a daze.
Although she knows that this day will come sooner or later, she also knows that she doesn't have the capital to compete with Kurama Qiyue and Hyuga Mio, and she doesn't want to gain a name in the past.
But... I always feel uncomfortable.
Yahiko sighed and scratched his head, not knowing how to relieve.
As a companion who grew up with him since childhood, he is very aware of Konan's feelings for Royal Night.
That kind of complex emotion mixed with family affection, master-apprentice affection and girlish affection is no thinner than pure love.
When this day comes, he also has a premonition.
I just didn't expect it to be at this time.
That being the case, it would hurt a little to let Konan go.
And Yahiko himself has a lot of itineraries to arrange.
He thought for a while, and said: "Hanzō of the Salamander has not found the foothold yet, but there is a general direction. In this case, let's find out the location first, and we can't ask Xianyin Island to help us with everything."
Konan knew that Yahiko didn't look for Xianyin Island immediately because he cared about his own feelings, so he shook his head and said, "There is no need to be vague about this kind of thing. I am going to entrust the task and send it to the intelligence department as soon as possible."
Yahiko heard the words and knew that Konan was no longer a daughter, so she nodded: "Let's entrust the task and find the salamander fish together. Even if Xianyin Island decides to take over the task immediately, it will take two or three days to come here. The sooner we find it Hanzō of the Salamander, the quicker the return mission."
After the two discussed, they quickly entered the working state.
On the first day, the entrusted task was sent to Xianyin Island through the intelligence network.
On the second day, Konan and Yahiko had already appeared in the south-central direction of the Land of Rain.
It's not too far from Rain Shinobi Village, and it's also about the same distance from Damingfu. It's within the reach of the north-south trade road, relatively prosperous and quiet.
The Akatsuki organization sent two teams of elites to slowly shrink and scout inward.
Yahiko summarized the information: "Judging from intelligence and eyewitnesses, Hanzō of the Salamander is indeed here. It is said that it was three years ago. He was seriously injured, and then he came here not long after staying in Rain Shinobi Village."
Speaking of three years ago, Yahiko paused.
The events of three years ago flashed through his mind one by one.
At that time, it was precisely because of his arrest that the Akatsuki organization was almost destroyed.
If Uchiha Yuye hadn't resurrected him and Konan, perhaps the Akatsuki organization would have disappeared long ago.
It seems that Hanzō of the Salamander's injury at that time was caused after the people from Xianyin Island arrived.
Konan fell silent too.
Although the two of them were resurrected, the former trio of the Kexiao organization, the one who survived became the only one missing in the team.
For several years, they did not hear from Nagato again.
It is not known whether Nagato is dead or alive, captured, or imprisoned in a laboratory.
As for a better situation, they cannot imagine.
Because if Nagato is intact, they can't think of a reason why Nagato will not come back.
After the war ended, Konoha liquidated Sunagakure's actions, but did not get any news from Nagato, and no one in Sunagakure even heard of this person.
It was as if it had evaporated from the world.
Konan took a deep breath, tried not to think about that aspect, and focused on the information in front of him.
In addition to intelligence personnel, their information was also provided by local residents.
Those ordinary people who are looked down upon by ordinary forces have long become their eyeliners. This is why other forces can't figure out why they can get information.
As for the information provided by ordinary people, although they are very trivial, as long as the quantity is sufficient, some things that ordinary people can't easily detect can be spliced together.
Like now.
Konan took a look at Hanzō of the Salamander's out shopping and his outing situation, and said, "It seems that this demigod is indeed old, and it looks like an ordinary old ninja."
Yahiko nodded: "But this is a general situation. Even if a tiger is old and its teeth and claws are not sharp, it will still not give up its territory easily."
Konan received the information, and said: "Recently, don't make any moves, so as not to startle the snake."
Their current strength is still difficult to be sure to keep Hanzō of the Salamander behind.
"Wait for support—"
Just as Konan finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.
In the black smoke, flames quickly engulfed the surrounding houses.
Everyone in the Xiao organization was stunned.
"That direction—"
Konan's eyes widened, never expecting that at this time, the place where Hanzō of the Salamander lived was the first to break into chaos.
Yahiko frowned: "The explosion and flames are Hanzo's signature ninjutsu. This guy, did someone accidentally break into it?"
Yahiko quickly counted the number of people and recalled the members of the nearby Akatsuki organization, worrying that his own people had strayed into Hanzō of the Salamander's field of vision.
Konan took a deep breath, and now there are two ways in front of her, or to evacuate quickly, so as not to suffer disaster.
But in this way, if Hanzō of the Salamander finishes fighting and changes places, they will need to spend a lot of time relocating, and Hanzō's vigilance must be higher at that time.
Time is not on their side.
The other way is more risky.
Konan stared at the battle over there, noticing the sudden disappearance of black smoke and flames, only to reappear from other positions soon after.
This strange situation is not the means of Hanzō of the Salamander.
At least it shows that this is not Hanzō of the Salamander fishing.
"Don't check it out, everyone, come with me and have a look!"
Konan signaled Yahiko not to check anymore, and rushed over with the people first.
Another way at this time is to take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Although it is not so safe compared to the first way, for the overall situation, it can achieve the effect of a quick battle.
I just don't know who is there, what is the strength, and what is the purpose.
But since he dared to attack Hanzo at this time, he should have some strength.
Yahiko was just directing, so he didn't notice so many details. Although he was worried, since Konan had given the order, he could only choose to trust Konan at this time.
More than a dozen people at a faster speed passed through the noisy crowd and came to the place where the explosion occurred.
Konan found a place with the highest position, looked over, and was startled.
In the courtyard of the deep house in the distance, the Summoning beast salamander was lying on both sides of the yard—the head was on one side, and the body was on the other.
There was blood all over the ground, and the toxins contained in the blood hissed and melted the turf. It was already dead and could not die anymore.
This is a strong invader!
Konan made an instant judgment.
The Summoning Beast Salamander itself is not weak in combat power, not to mention the advantage of Summoning is that you can hurry up and run when you can't beat it.
To kill a Summoning beast of this level, one must either have absolute crushing strength, or have some special means.
"How about it, do you want to go in directly?" Yahiko turned to Konan in an instant and asked.
The strength of both of them is not weak now, if they join forces, Hanzō of the Salamander in old age cannot keep them.
"I still don't know if it's an enemy or a friend. Look at the situation." Konan stared at the room, where he could hear the sound of fighting, but he couldn't see anything.
Although the people who come are all for Hanzō of the Salamander, sometimes the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily the friend.
Because of the actions of the Akatsuki organization in the country of rain, not many people are angry.
If the other party just has a personal grudge with Hanzo, and doesn't like the Akatsuki organization, rashly intervening may give Sanjiaoyu a chance instead.
The important thing now is to first determine who the other party is.
At this moment, the battle in the room finally came to a preliminary result.
A figure was violently thrown out of the window and fell into the courtyard.
"Still almost?"
Konan thought about it habitually, but soon realized something was wrong.
The figure lying in the yard is actually Hanzo? ?
It's not that Konan deliberately thinks of others failing, but to the people of the Rain Country, the name of Hanzō of the Salamander is the same as the name of Senju Hashirama to the people of Konoha.
That's the indomitable figure from their childhood to adulthood, even through their parents' generation!
It is a demigod who needs to gather an unknown amount of power to be overthrown!
But now, it was Hanzo who was crouching in the yard, spitting blood from the mouth!
Where is the sacred shot, actually——
Konan stared in amazement, through the broken window, she vaguely saw a trace of red hair.
But the man inside quickly put the hood back on, revealing only the black Uzumaki mask and scarlet eyes.
"That's not Uchiha, it's him!"
A familiar image appeared in Konan's mind, but it quickly disappeared.
She recognized that this person was the Sunagakure masked man who gained a lot of fame in the Third Ninja World War. It is said that he was a traitor of the Uchiha family, but no one could tell more specifically, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in fog .
Yahiko frowned and looked at the masked man, thinking that he didn't go directly to intervene just now.
Although they have no direct conflict with Sunagakure, everyone knows that the Rain Country is on the side of the Iron Country, and Uchiha Madara is a hostile force.
The relationship between the two parties is definitely not harmonious.
However, people from Uchiha Madara, why are they here?
And also against Hanzō of the Salamander?
In the yard, the masked man stared at them blankly.
For a while, the two sides fell into an eerie calm.
Only Hanzō of the Salamander's coughing up blood could be heard from time to time.
Not seen for several years, Hanzō of the Salamander is old.
He was already hurting secretly, and he had already started to go downhill a few years ago.
And the hidden injury caused by Hyuga Mio's shot back then completely crushed his body.
The current Hanzō of the Salamander is not even half as powerful as it was at its peak.
More importantly, he no longer had the spirit he had back then.
Even when he fell into a disadvantage at the beginning of the battle, he actually begged for mercy.
The masked man came back to his senses and sighed bitterly.
I don't know if it's lamenting the demise of the demigod, or something else.
Finally, the Gouyu in his scarlet eyes turned.
Hanzō of the Salamander, who was already imprisoned, had half of his body removed.
He also became two halves, and kept company with his pet salamander.
The master of the past, firmly at the pinnacle of the ninja world after the First Hokage era, ushered in the final ending in a calm and almost mediocre way.
In addition to the mentality of strength, his abilities are also restrained by the masked man.
No matter how strong the Body Flicker Technique is, it is only weak in the face of space confinement.
If Hanzō of the Salamander's physical skills still maintain the eight-point state of the year, maybe the masked man will pay a big price.
But when the Hanzo body art is no longer there, and there is no stance of fighting for life, those so-called ninjutsu and so-called poison gas attacks are just means to bind oneself in the face of space exile.
The masked man raised his hand and took away half of the corpse.
Then, he looked back at Konan and Yahiko.
Things are different, and now they are strangers.
This time, treat it as a farewell gift.
Even if they don't know it, the man behind the mask is called Nagato.
