"Path, look! We've got an escort assignment, let's go together? Xiao Bury took a task book and said excitedly.

Hayato took the task book and glanced at it roughly, suddenly lacking interest. This is a mission to escort a caravan to the Land of Rain, which is a very small country, at most the size of an ordinary county in Huaxia in the previous life.

The Land of Rain is located to the north of the Kawa Country and northwest of Konoha. It borders six countries: the country of rivers, the country of fire, the country of grass, the country of earth, the country of birds, and the country of wind.

It is equivalent to being in the center of the three great powers of the land of fire, the land of earth, and the country of wind, and it has been a strategic place since ancient times, and it has often become a battlefield for the great powers, and it is a country that is even more tragic than the country of Sichuan.

That's why this kind of organization was born, and at the beginning of its establishment, Xiao was a very peaceful organization. Yahiko, the founder of the organization, established Akatsuki with the original intention of building a bridge of hope to world peace through people-to-people communication, so that people in the whole world can live a peaceful and happy life.

However, Yahiko was killed by Hanzo, and the grief-stricken Nagato changed Yahiko's course and prepared to unify the entire world by force to achieve the goal of peace.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to collect nine tailed beasts, make tailed beast weapons, and also collect a large amount of money to prepare for war.

The members of Akatsuki will accept various quests, and will also complete the assassination missions of the gold exchange, such as Kakuto once killed Jilu, one of the twelve ninja guardians of the Fire Country, and exchanged a bounty of 30 million yen at the gold exchange.

At this time, [Akatsuki] had already controlled the entire Rain Country, and Nagato used the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique.

Rain Tiger Freedom is a perceptual ninjutsu that mixes chakra into rain to perceive enemies.

As long as it's within the range of the rain, it will be perceived by Nagato, and even Jilai can't crack this ninjutsu.

The Land of Rain is a closed country, with only one city, Rain Hidden Village, and before entering the city, you need to go to the gate of the city to be inspected by the guards.

Anyone who passes the inspection is generally not embarrassed, unless you die yourself, kill people and set fires in it, or something like that.

But if you don't enter through the city gate, but just like Jirai, and enter Yuyin Village in an improper way, you will be discovered by Nagato and targeted by people with reincarnation eyes, and the ending will generally not be too good.

Hayato didn't want to go to the Land of Rain, but Koburi and Ohira begged each other, snorting and tearful about the hardships.

"Brother, we haven't done a task for a few days, and we're running out of money......"

"Xiao Bury, the two of us are so poor, we can only live in such a small house, we can't even afford to eat meat, it's really pitiful......"

"Yes, brother, we are in such a poor situation, for some people to eat, for some people to live, and now we want him to do a task together, but he refuses to agree!"

"yes, this man is so ungrateful......"

“...... Okay, okay, don't be a certain person, just say it's just me! Can't I go? Hayato blushed a little at what the little brother and sister said.

And Hayato thought about it, since it was to escort the caravan, it must have entered the city through normal channels, as long as he was honest, there would be no danger in general, and he could also go to the enemy's lair to see the situation, which was a good choice.

......

......

Early the next morning, Hayato and his party escorted a caravan and set off for the Land of Rain.

The caravan consisted of about 20 people, which was considered a large and medium-sized caravan. Unlike the caravans that Hayato had escorted in the Land of Fire before, Hayato had always felt that these merchants were weird.

First of all, many people cover their faces, as if they are afraid of being recognized; Secondly, Hayato tried to go up and talk to him a few times, but the merchants ignored Falto.

"I'm afraid it's not a normal caravan......" Hayato muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Xiao Bury, who didn't hear clearly, asked.

"Nothing."

In fact, it's true, it's not a serious caravan, it's a smuggling gang.

As the Akatsuki organization prepares to start a world war, it is necessary to stock up on a lot of war materials. Not only food, but also combat supplies such as shurikens, detonators, and ration pills are needed.

The Rain Country's national strength is low, and the production of these items is low, which is not enough to meet the needs of the war, and needs to be imported in large quantities, and most of the money earned by completing a large number of tasks is used here.

However, these things are controlled items, and other countries are generally not allowed to sell these items to foreign countries. In order to purchase enough strategic materials, Yuyin Village offered several times the original price.

As a result, many smuggling gangs see business opportunities. These items are being shipped to the Land of Rain for higher profits.

As soon as you enter the Land of Rain, you will see a world made of water.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no sunlight all year round, and the rain never seemed to stop, constantly falling from the sky.

There was moisture in the air, and it was the smell of rain.

The rainy weather for many years has caused water to accumulate everywhere on the ground. The road was muddy and muddy when it was waterlogged, and it was much more difficult to walk than a normal road.

Hayato was forced to use the same skills he used when treading water, which was much better.

Koburi and Ohira seemed to be used to this situation and did not show the slightest discomfort.

"Do you often come to the Land of Rain?" Hayato asked, a little concerned.

Xiao Bury was about to speak, but Da Ping took the lead in explaining: "Well, I've been here a few times and done a few tasks. ”

"Oh?" Looking at the way Xiao Bury wanted to speak and stopped, Hayato felt that things were not so simple.

However, Hayato believed that the two siblings should not harm themselves, otherwise they could only blame themselves for not knowing anyone. Since the two of them didn't want to say more, Hayato didn't ask any more.

The deeper you go into the Land of Rain, the more serious the water becomes, and by the end, the water is so deep that you can't walk freely.

The merchants all got on the boats of the nearby residents, and these people were specialized in this ferry business, and if they wanted to go to Yuyin Village, ordinary people could only take the boat, which gave birth to this business.

After a few more hours of walking, when it was getting late, the group finally arrived at Yuyin Village, the capital of the Land of Rain.

At the gate of the city, there are 4 rain ninjas who are checking the people who have entered the city.

The merchants seemed to have become accustomed to this, and after explaining their intentions and being inspected, the guards let them into the city.

The buildings in the city are completely different from those seen by Hayato in other countries, and most of the buildings in the Land of Rain are skyscrapers made of cement and steel.

Most of the roads in the city are in the form of overpasses or plank roads, which are built by buildings, connecting buildings one by one, and distributed layer by layer.

At the bottom of the road is deep standing water, so you need to row a boat to move freely, but ninjas can also use water treading skills. This floor is basically inhabited, equivalent to the basement of other cities, and only the very poor will live in it.

From the second floor onwards, there will be some civilians living there, and there will also be some shops.

The higher you go, the richer you get, and the more luxurious the shops become.

If you want to tell the status of the people of the Rain Country, it's very simple, just look at the floor he lives on.

Many shops have some angels folded with paper in front of them, although they are only folded from white paper, but they are vivid and expressive. Hayato asked the owners of several shops, and they all said that this angel origami has the potential to bring good luck, and hanging it in front of the store can bless the business of his shop.

Hayato pursed his lips, a little disapproving. He knew that these were probably Xiao Nan's origami, and they could be used as ninjutsu if necessary.
