Chapter 17: The Withered Wood

"Nagato, how is your health today?"

Xiao Nan looked at Nagato's gaze with some worry, the other party's body was getting worse day by day.

"Fortunately, a new member has arrived, you and Yahiko greet him, he will be helpful for future plans, but the source is unknown, and he needs to be observed for a while."

Yahiko in Nagato is actually a dead man, a corpse controlled by Nagato's ability.

Nagato is able to control six corpses and gives them different abilities, and the six corpses are collectively known as Payne to the outside world.

The six corpses are: Heavenly Dao (Payne Core), Shura Dao, Human Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao.

Among them, the Heavenly Way is made from the corpse of Yahiko, and Yahiko is the former companion of Nagato and Konan.

"Well, which ninja village's renegade is this?"

"It's not a traitor, it's an assassin who has assassinated four generations of Mizukage, be careful when dealing with him, don't get too close to him."

"Why?"

"In terms of information, he rarely uses ninjutsu, he is good at using ninja knives, and his knife skills are comparable to the former Konoha White Fang, his name is White Night, maybe it has something to do with Konoha White Fang, and then pay attention to observation."

Xiao Nan was shocked in his heart, and nodded instead. Of course she had heard of Konoha White Fang, a man who made many ninjas scare with a ninja sword.

Xiao Nan left the room and walked downstairs with Tiandao outside the door.

The way of heaven is Nagato's manipulation, whether it is words or actions, this is actually Nagato in a sense.

"Shall we go together?"

Xiao Nan spoke.

"I won't come forward, you and the ghost shark talk to him."

Although the voice changed, it was Nagato speaking.

'Understood. “

Xiao Nan knew what Nagato meant, and Nagato's personal visit was actually a deterrent to prevent Su Xiao from escaping after refusing to be solicited.

In the back alley of Rain Ninja Village, in an underground room.

"You're usually here?"

Sitting in the damp room, Su Xiao was amazed, the treatment of the members of the Xiao organization is not very good, these traitors will not have an opinion?

The ghost shark sat to the side, seemingly unconcerned about the humid environment.

"I'm a traitor, I can't appear in the open, most of the time we won't stay in Rain Ninja Village, the Akatsuki organization won't restrict the actions of members, just complete the task when there is a mission."

The door was pushed open, and a blue-haired beauty walked into the room, although Su Xiao knew that this was Xiao Nan, he wouldn't show it, it was looking for death, and it was beneficial to hide himself by 'pretending to be stupid' appropriately.

Su Xiao wouldn't be stupid enough to say to Nagato: "I know how things will develop in the future, after you fiercely singled out Konoha Village, you were forcibly lowered by a rich second generation with the halo of the protagonist, so you were said to die. ’

Su Xiao looked Xiao Nan up and down, and I have to say that the real version of Xiao Nan is a big beauty, with a good figure and a unique temperament.

"This is the leader of Akatsuki?"

Xiao Nan didn't have any expression, Su Xiao's unruly appearance is normal now, if there was no such unruliness, he would not have assassinated the four generations of Mizukage, and he almost succeeded.

"I'm not the leader of Akatsuki, but I can represent the leader of Akatsuki."

Xiao Nan sat down and looked at Su Xiao.

"You agree to join us?"

"Agreed."

Su Xiao's simplicity surprised Xiao Nan.

"If I say I don't agree, can I leave alive?"

"I can't."

"I can't."

Xiao Nan and the ghost shark said in unison.

"So, in order to save my life, I am ready to join you, I have requirements in terms of treatment, otherwise don't expect me to help you die hard."

Su Xiao has not shown any flaws so far, he assassinated the four generations of Mizukage was commissioned by someone, and now he has joined Xiao for profit.

"Of course it's fine, what do you want, ninjutsu? Secret arts? Money? Woman? These can be provided to you, but before that, you have to show your value. “

Su Xiao, who was sitting on the chair, sat up straight, wanting to join Xiao not only with a mouth and past deeds, but also to show his own value, so as to gain the trust of the Xiao organization, and finally participate in the operation of capturing the tailed beast.

"Value...... It's what can I do, what am I good at? ”

"Yes."

"Is that so......"

Su Xiao made a gesture of thought.

"I am good at assassination, explosives, intelligence exploration, assassination of enemy leaders, laying cumbersome traps, camouflage, frontal raids, ultra-long-range sniping, up to 1.2~1.4 kilometers ......"

Su Xiao said his specialty, and the more Xiao Nan frowned, the deeper she frowned, she thought that Su Xiao was talking big.

"You're still good at blasting? So what should you pay attention to in blasting? ”

Xiao Nan seemed to be chatting with Su Xiao, but in fact it was not, she was inquiring about Su Xiao's information.

"Blasting is a bit complicated, mainly about the prediction of the terrain and the size, density, and shape of the target, and the environment should also be considered, including ......"

Su Xiao began to introduce the specific knowledge of blasting to Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan is good at using detonation charms, but she is not an expert in explosives, and her method of using detonation charms can be described as simple and rude.

Su Xiao said that Xiao Nan could still understand at first, but in the middle she began to understand a little, as for the final bomb deployment and N multi-chemical formula, Xiao Nan actually listened with a confused face, but she still had to pretend to understand.

"These are the basics of blasting, and about four-fifths of the way through that."

Su Xiao cleared his throat and was about to continue, but the corner of the ghost shark's eyes twitched, and he was about to fall asleep.

"Ahem~, let's talk about these later, let's talk about treatment."

Through Su Xiao's understanding of blasting, Xiao Nan could see that Su Xiao was not talking big before.

"In terms of treatment, I won't open my mouth, I'm now being hunted down by the dark department of the Fog Ninja Village, although they can't do anything to me, but it annoys me, as for the other benefits, I'll talk about it later, after all, I haven't made any contribution now."

Su Xiao won't open his mouth widely, he doesn't have much time left in the main quest, and he has to find a force to join as soon as possible.

"Is this so, we will help you solve the pursuit of the mist ninja, if you want, you can retaliate in the future, but in your private name."

"Yes."

Su Xiao replied very simply, and the heavenly path outside the door walked away.

"Welcome to Xiao, you won't regret your choice today."

Xiao Nan stretched out his hand, and Su Xiao also stretched out his hand.

"I hope."

[Hint: Main Quest: Choice (Completed), Yes/No Submission.] 】

Su Xiao chose to submit, 3,000 paradise coins arrived, and prompts appeared one after another.

[Warning: The Hunter has joined the Akatsuki Organization, and the difficulty of the world area has been greatly increased, and it has been increased to Lv.34, so please be cautious about the Hunter.] 】

[The world difficulty has been increased, and the main quest has been changed accordingly.] 】

[Main Quest: Withered Wood.] 】

Difficulty level: Lv.23

Brief Description: Assist Nagato in destroying Konoha Village.

Quest Information: This is the final part of the main quest.

Mission duration: 60 calendar days.

Rewards: 50,000 Paradise Coins, Soul Crystals (Medium), 10 and 12 attribute points ×.

Task Punishment: -8 for all attributes.

……

After seeing the main quest, Su Xiao's whole person was not good, and he finally knew why so few contractors joined the Xiao organization, the reason was that the difficulty of the world would be greatly increased.

What is the concept of the difficulty of Lv.34, which means that Su Xiao may encounter enemies that cannot be fought against, and the probability of death is very high.

That's the terrible thing about an open world, and the difficulty of the world can be greatly increased by a single move.

Lv.34 is dangerous, but being careful doesn't mean death, it's just world difficulty, not mission difficulty.

Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, from today onwards, he was a member of the Xiao organization, wearing a style uniform to cut people.
