Chapter 372: The Eve of the Storm
The "Land of Rain" was supposed to be a very ordinary small country, but its unique geographical location in the world forced it to take an unusual path.
As we all know, the most powerful countries in the world are the five major powers, and the five big countries like to fight back and forth the most, and what is even more unfortunate is that the "rain country" happens to be in the gap between three of them.
What does it feel like to be a small country, somewhere between three other small countries and three other big ones? It's like a meatloaf in three slices of bread, and everyone eats it.
What's even more unfortunate is that the climate in Yuyin Village, which is the central area of the "Land of Rain", is in the rainy season all year round, and the rainwater flows into the inland lake that surrounds Yuyin Village, and almost the entire village is soaked in water all year round.
Therefore, the buildings of Yuyin Village are mainly made of steel, and there are also a considerable part of stone, which are erected by many large and small steel pipes inside and outside, forming a unique landscape.
In the middle of the rainy night, in the tallest tower on the west side of the "Yuyin Village", a woman wearing a black trench coat embroidered with red clouds, light blue hair, a lilac paper flower on the right side of her head, and a lip stud at the lower end of her lips was walking inside the tower until she came to the windowsill where she could see the stars.
And the man sitting in front of the windowsill, Payne turned his head, looked at the companion who had grown up together, and asked in a seemingly cold tone, "Did you find it?" ”
"Indeed, in the early hours of yesterday morning, the eldest young master of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga, had a conflict with Shimura Danzo, and indeed killed the latter, and then rushed out of the village when he was captured by Konoha to investigate, officially announcing his defection."
When the name Shimura Danzo was mentioned, there was a faint sense of pleasure in Xiao Nan's tone, as if the resentment she had suppressed for many years was suddenly stretched.
She will never forget that the high-level leaders of Konoha Village and Rain Ninja Village colluded with each other to set up that killing Yahiko in that killing situation, and now she is naturally very comfortable to hear the news of Danzang's death.
But even so, Xiao Nan still said in a puzzled tone: "But that Hyuga Imperial Line actually took the initiative to ask to join "Xiao", and that guy has already been recommended to us in advance, aren't you worried that they have other plans?" ”
"Something else...... Hmph, which of the people who joined "Xiao" is not a ghost, but so what. ”
With that, Payne reached out the window and let the droplets fall on his arm, and he didn't feel the chill anyway.
"People are originally in a relationship of mutual use, we are using "Xiao", Ban He is definitely using us, just to see who can achieve the final goal. ”
This truth was absolutely incomprehensible to Payne when he was young, but now he obviously understands it very thoroughly, after all, it is a valuable experience gained from countless times of blood and fire.
But while clearly knowing this truth, Payne also understood another truth, that is, under absolute power, all intrigues and tricks are in vain.
Ban, and yes, although I don't know what you mean by letting such a person in, but as long as it doesn't get in the way of my plans, then everything will be fine, otherwise......
Bang! In an instant, the pair of pupils that claimed to have the power to control life and death and manipulate the six reincarnation abilities suddenly opened, and the distant sky seemed to have a thunderbolt because of the aftermath of this eye, shining between heaven and earth as if it were day.
Is Hinata Goyuki...... A Konoha ninja can actually get the recommendation of Jeho, Itachi and Deidara, and at the meeting in a month's time, I want to see what kind of big shot you are.
After the thunder and lightning, the heavens and the earth returned to darkness, and the pupils of the eyes with the power of the gods slowly closed, as if they felt the faint echo of raindrops falling on the scarred land.
Bang! It was still the same thunder and lightning, and it was still the same sky, at the bottom of the forest north of the "River Country" bordering the "Land of Rain", above the waterfall where a poisonous snake was imprisoned, and the figure of Dou was looming in the faint light.
At this time, he was wearing a very luxurious gold-rimmed white robe, and on the top of the robe was embroidered with a round of crimson morning sun, which looked a bit similar to the "Imperial God Robe" worn by the Hokage, but the style was different, and it was more divine.
In addition to Dou, there were nine other figures in the same robe in this underground space, but they were all wearing hoods so well at this time that they couldn't see each other's specific faces.
But of course, even if you can see the face clearly, this appearance may not be real, after all, the people gathered here are all ninjas with extraordinary strength.
"First ...... Chief, are you really going to do this? ”
At this moment, the cadre-level member standing at the forefront, Uchiha Shin, slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his originally pale cheeks.
For this unlucky guy who had been in Orochimaru's laboratory for many years, was made to be covered in writing wheels, and then Orochimaru's arm was cut off and given to Danzang, he would rarely feel so shocked, which shows how powerful the words of the leader of the "cocoon" just now had on them.
Yes, just this evening, the leader of the "cocoon", Yao Shidou, gathered all the high-level members, including the cadres who had only joined recently, and then held a small meeting to talk about the next small goal of their organization.
"What? Is there anything wrong? ”
After noticing the somewhat uneasy look on Shin Uchiha's face, Dou just smiled softly, with a confident expression on his face.
"However, didn't you say that our goal was to capture all the Tailed Beasts and use the power of the Tailed Beasts to ......?"
"Tailed beasts? Ah, you just forget about that, because our goal is far above it. ”
It's also fortunate that the guy from Shuiyue is not here now, otherwise if he heard what he said now, he would have to jump up in anger, and people desperately ran to catch the three tails, but the leader turned around and said let them forget about it?
"Very good, it seems that there is nothing wrong with joining this organization, our leader is a person with great ambitions."
However, unlike the Uchiha Shin, among the other white-robed figures who were staying below at this time, the man who looked rather burly standing on the side said in his deep voice, as if he was quite interested in the plan just now.
"That's right, at this point, I'm afraid the money we get will have to be calculated in tens of billions, and it's probably enough to buy a country."
At this time, another guy wearing a white robe and hiding his entire body in the robe also said with a smile, judging from his tone, it seemed that he was quite attached to things like silver taels.
"But for this plan to be carried out smoothly, you all have to stay in this base for the next month in order to hone your abilities to the best of your ability, especially ...... The ones who just got the "stand-in". ”
Speaking of this, Dou's gaze swept to the few cadres who had only recently joined the "Cocoon" organization and had obtained new abilities through their stand-ins and "arrows", and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
These guys are extremely strong in their own right, and after receiving the blessing of their respective stand-in abilities, if they go through another month of intensive training, how far can their strength be improved? Moreover, their abilities are not weak......
"Yes!"
With an order, the nine cadres of the "cocoon" said in unison, and then quickly left the place, except for one cadre who looked slender and seemed to be not very old.
"What's wrong? Still have questions? Seeing that the young man seemed to have something to say, Dou also asked with a smile.
“...... Chief, as agreed, the man must be left to me. ”
Although these words did not sound special, they came out of the mouth of this young cadre with a ruthless energy.
Especially the pair of scarlet pupils peeking out of the gap in the hood, the gaze was as sharp as an eagle's sling, which made people shudder.
