The land of rain.

A long-haired man with a gray face, a thin nose and high cheekbones walked into a dimly lit cave as agreed.

"Is Akatsuki's base located in a place like this? I'm really disappointed. I thought it would be in Hanzo's village."

This man's voice was soft and soft, as if it could deliver cold, moist air directly into one's bone marrow.

He pushed back the hair that was blocking his vision, and his slender eyes were wrapped with snake-like golden vertical cherry-shaped sharp purple eyeshadow that spread to the wings of his nose, strengthening the dangerous and gloomy impression he gave people.

When he walked all the way to the edge of the lake in the deepest part of the cave with disgust in his words, there was a sound of pages being blown by the wind.

"Orochimaru, there is no such thing as Hanzo's village anymore."

Konan appeared on a huge rock, folding her broad wings while correcting Orochimaru's words.

"The demigods of the Kingdom of Rain have been executed and hung on the highest point of the village for public display. Now this country will be protected by the real gods."

After saying this, the orange-haired Tiandao Payne and Jue, who was caught between two flytraps, appeared one after another.

"Since we have the eyes of the Immortal of Six Paths, it makes sense to use the word 'god' here."

Orochimaru looked at the young man who defeated him with just one blow. There was no respect in his eyes, only naked envy and desire.

Then his eyes focused on Xiaonan's face for a while, and he suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel familiar, you guys were from that time..."

"They're already dead."

Pain suddenly interrupted Orochimaru's words, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"clear."

Orochimaru smiled, licked his lips, stretched out his hand and made a "confidential" gesture in front of his mouth.

"Penn, do we really have to let him join us?"

After Konan realized that his identity was exposed, he hesitated. Once Orochimaru couldn't keep his mouth shut and told Jiraiya, the situation would be very troublesome.

Her orange eyes were fixed on Orochimaru, and she said coldly: "Scorpion told me that he sneak attacked a Konoha Jonin who was less than fourteen years old in the Kingdom of Water, and almost died there. Maybe he was very good in the past.

He is strong and has a great reputation, but he is old now and is no different from Hanzo."

"Speaking of this, I have to defend myself a few words."

Orochimaru stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing the face of a young woman, and then even the voice changed to that of a woman.

"If there is any ninja in this world whose strength is not affected by age, then the Scorpion of Red Sand and I, who turned ourselves into puppets, will naturally take our place. As for the matter of the Kingdom of Water, it was not the young jounin who defeated me.

It was the famous Shunshen Shisui. At that time, my last body was already close to collapse, but now that I meet him again, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be..."

"Oh, he is indeed a legendary Sannin. He can even do such things as parasitic souls."

Jue let out a gloomy admiration, and then said to Payne: "You personally recruited him, so you should know his strength. Although I can't trust him, I always feel that he must be able to play some special use."

"Penn, he was also involved in the destruction of this country back then!"

Xiaonan's opinion is completely different.

He glanced at her with a blank look and stopped talking. Silence filled the space, waiting for Payne to make the final decision.

"Since you have inquired about Akatsuki's information, you should know that the tailed beast is our target."

After a long time, Payne finally spoke, "You failed there, so go back there. Try to capture the three tails and come back to see. It will also prove your worth."

After saying that, he raised his hand to stop Konan who was about to speak, and looked at Zetsu: "Is Uchiha Shisui still in the Kingdom of Water?"

Zetsu replied: "Both Uchiha have left the Kingdom of Water and returned to Konoha."

Payne's Samsara Eye looked at Orochimaru again: "If you fail again this time,

You won't have any excuses."

"It just so happens that I am also very interested in the legendary perfect Jinchuuriki."

Orochimaru agreed confidently, and then changed his tone.

"However, I hope to obtain part of the body tissue of Hanzo the Sansho Fish as an advance payment for this mission."

Xiaonan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"no problem."

Payne nodded and ordered: "Zetsu, give Sansho Hanzo his right hand. Then go and inform Loquat Juzo that he and Orochimaru will carry out this mission together."

"yes."

Without saying anything else, he immediately retreated into the ground beneath his feet.

Seeing this scene, Orochimaru's eyes were slightly startled.

The half body of this black and white monster, its fern-like shape, and its ability to escape silently reminded him of the pot that Konoha held on his head.

[So it turns out, the monsters mentioned in Danzo’s secret letter are actually spies sent by Akatsuki to monitor various villages! 】

Considering that the target of the Akatsuki organization is the tailed beasts in each village, it seems reasonable to do so.

"Go to the pass in the northeast of the Rain Country, Orochimaru. Your temporary teammate will be waiting for you there."

After saying that, Payne turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

After Konan gave Orochimaru a cold look, he turned into countless pieces of paper and disappeared.

It turns out that both of them are just clones.

This place is not a base, but a meeting point.

"You are so cautious, do you think you are a god? It seems that the god of the Kingdom of Rain is only as capable as the Kingdom of Rain."

Orochimaru turned around, sarcastically, and walked out of the cave.

"But... the decapitating sword among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? He is really a reluctant traveler."

At the same time, in the tallest building in Yuyin Village, Xiao Nan and Tiandao Pain, who was installing Shura Dao, both received memories sent back by their clones.

"Nagato! It's not time to collect the tailed beasts yet. And wasn't the Fourth Mizukage controlled by Madara long ago?"

Since there were only two of them, Xiaonan called Payne by his first name, eager to know the other person's purpose of doing this.

In order to prove his identity, Madara turned the Fourth Mizukage into a puppet of the Sharingan in front of the two of them. From then on, the real Land of Blood Mist was born.

"Compared to others, Loquat Juzo is too weak."

Payne didn't look back and continued to twist the wrench on Shura Dao.

"Didn't he say that Kirigakure's weirdo 'Miki Kakiyo' will also join Akatsuki? Just in time, let him take over the position of Loquat Juzo."

Xiaonan fell silent.

Currently, she, Pain, and Jue are the apparent members of the Akatsuki organization, and they are the original team members.

The bounty hunters Kakuzu and Scorpion were conquered by Pain and her by force respectively.

Loquat Juuzang was the only one who immediately said he wanted to join after seeing the power of their battle.

But in all fairness, Loquat Juzo is too conventional in every aspect.

If you want to get him to leave the organization and keep the secret secret, without taking action yourself, the only way is to let him die.

But Xiaonan has just adapted to her current status, and she still feels a little unbearable in her heart. After all, during this period, she has been working hard to make money for the organization and has never made any mistakes.

So she thought for a while and said: "The organization is still very short of people, so it won't be a problem to have one more."

"No need, I have found a new goal. Although it is not strong enough now, it has huge potential."

Payne's answer surprised Xiaonan.

"who?"

"In the past two years, isn't there a young man with yellow hair who has been saving people's lives everywhere in the Kingdom of Rain?"

Speaking of this person, even Pain's tone became much gentler, "He tried to sneak into this village and was discovered by Yu Hu's art of freedom. The beast path has found him and will invite him to join Xiao."

The sudden surprise in Xiaonan's eyes cannot be faked.

She has been looking for this person for more than two years, but he, like her, only lives in the description of the rescued person.

The people of the Country of Rain, who like exaggerated metaphors, call him the "Sun of Hometown". This shows how influential the other party is in this country. Xiaonan also naturally believes that the other party is a child of the Country of Rain and the hope of the future.

She knew that all Payne's visions were connected, so she quickly asked: "Did he agree?"

"No." Payne's answer made her a little nervous, "But the beast will knock him out and bring him back."

"Try not to hurt him." Xiaonan requested.

Although it was rumored that the other party had dealt with eight Amegakure Jonin at the same time, Xiaonan knew that that person would never be Pain's opponent.

"He is very strong. Even if he is injured, there will be no big problem -"

Tiandao Payne's voice stopped suddenly, and the wrench in his hand stopped turning.

"What's wrong?" Xiaonan asked.
