Chapter Seventy-Three
"Oh, is it a rare sunny day?"
Entering the flight section of Yuyin Village through the secret passage, he looked up at the sky that was beginning to clear overhead, revealing a surprised color.
There will be sunny days like this.
For the leader who commanded many S-class rebels, it seemed that it was possible to change the local celestial phenomena, although it was not easy to do so.
And it will last all day, which is also extremely terrifying for the consumption of chakra.
"But that's fine, you don't have to get wet and drenched in the rain anymore."
Fei Duan doesn't really like rainy weather.
In this country, rain means sorrow and death, and can bring all kinds of misfortunes.
According to the motto of life, Fei Duan has always considered himself a cheerful and lively person, which is completely incompatible with this kind of weather.
Therefore, after entering Yuyin Village at this time, Fei Duan's mood was much better.
"Sect Master, is this the secret base of our church?"
Xue Xue, who was following behind Fei Duan, asked excitedly.
I was curious about this place.
"Uh...... Strictly speaking, it's okay. Although the people gathered here are a group of atheists. β
Fei Duan replied vaguely.
After all, Xiao and Yuyin Village's rule are separate.
The villagers and ninjas of Yuyin Village are completely unaware of Akatsuki's existence.
And Xiao will not interfere with the life of Yuyin Village.
If you want to enter the commercial area of Yuyin Village, you only need to transform or change your clothes, bring the free access card given by Nagato, and you can play in the commercial street of Yuyin Village at will.
However, it is still impossible to promote the cult of evil gods.
Although Nagato would not have any reaction to his promotion of the Cult of the Evil God within Xiao, if he dared to promote it to those villagers and ninjas in Yuyin Village...... It feels like something terrible is going to happen.
But when I think of Xiao's inside, there are a bunch of atheists, and no matter how much they publicize it, they won't change their beliefs.
Alas...... Fei Duan sighed silently, feeling that he had a long way to go due to his responsibility.
"That's right."
Yu Xue tilted her head, looking understanding, but not very understanding.
Entering the tower in the center of the rain from the secret passage may have been in rainy weather all year round, even if the sky is clear today, the air inside the tower still has a strong smell of humidity.
Even though I've been here many times, Feiduan still feels a little unaccustomed.
Walking up to the top of the tower, is Akatsuki's conference room and the location of the leader, Nagato.
If there are no special circumstances, the other party will basically sit here.
Since joining the organization, Fei Duan has never heard of Nagato, the leader of the organization, and has the experience of going out.
If you haven't been out for so long, you can't be moldy, right? Fei Duan's malicious thoughts suddenly filled his entire brain.
"Feiduan, I'm coming back earlier than I thought this time."
In the living room on the top floor of the tower, Nagato met with Hida returning from outside.
There is a lot of space in the living room, but only a few couches are placed here, and the rest of the place is empty.
And the direction facing the door of the living room, there is no wall, it is empty, directly connected to the open-air platform, and the sun shines in.
On a rainy day, you can talk and listen to the sound of the rain here.
"Of course, I don't look at who I am, this level of goal can be done in three or two clicks. But, seriously, can you stop me from doing this next time? If your faith is corrupted by money, the evil god will punish you. β
Fei Duan scratched his head, looking extremely distressed.
As a faithful believer in the cult, he is always in the company of money that is easy to degenerate, and even his heart begins to be dusted.
He placed the black leather suitcase he was carrying in his left hand on the tea table next to the sofa, and there was a heavy noise.
Or rather, the sound of banknotes that annoyed him.
It's sin, it's blasphemy.
"There are three bounty targets, and the bounty amount adds up to 23 million taels, which is a lot."
Fei Duan put down the black leather box full of banknotes.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Nagato nodded in satisfaction, ignoring Fei Duan's complaint just now.
After all, in the absence of team members, Fei Duan can't directly give him difficult tasks.
Let him work for the organization to make money and enrich Xiao's treasury, so that Fei Duan can not only find a job, but also ensure that the other party can complete the task alone.
If he is allowed to go directly to catch the Tailed Beast, he will likely be killed directly without a helper. In that case, you will have to look for a new candidate again.
After all, it is still very difficult to find capable ninjas these days.
Then, Nagato's gaze fell on Yuyuki on the left behind Fei Dan.
"Feiduan, he's ......"
"He's a Xue Xue, my new recruit. How's that, chief, do you think he's up to the mark? I'm going to make him my crew. β
Fei Duan asked with a grin.
ββ¦β¦ Have we met somewhere? β
Instead of responding to Feidan's question, Nagato glanced at Yuxue seriously and asked him.
I always feel that this young man has been seen somewhere.
ββ¦β¦ The Valley of Hypocrisy. β
Yu Xue looked at Nagato's reincarnation eyes and said these four words.
Apparently, he recognized Nagato as well.
The other party used to be outside the valley of hypocrisy and had a relationship with him.
He was very impressed by these reincarnation eyes.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be the 'boss' of the sect leader.
Fate is really wonderful.
"The Valley of Hypocrisy? I see, it's a little ghost at that time. β
Nagato also remembered who the teenager was.
When Ruri Uchiha destroyed the Valley of Hypocrisy, the boy was one of the survivors at the time.
However, at that time, he remembered that the name given by the other party was not Yu Xue, but another unfamiliar name.
Sure enough, at that time, it was a pseudonym.
Ninjas who survive in the Valley of Hypocrisy will live again with a new identity, a new personality, and a new name.
"Well, Chief, do you know Yuxue?"
Now it's Feiduan's turn to be curious.
"There was a one-sided relationship. Well...... In that case, let's let him be a substitute and join you for the time being, Fei Duan. After confirming the ability, it is not too late to proceed with the regularization. β
Nagato doesn't know much about Yuxue's abilities.
Just by feeling, he should be a ninja with good strength.
However, the specific level will still need to be investigated for a period of time, and a decision cannot be made immediately.
The ninjas of the Valley of Hypocrisy have been isolated for many years, and it is unrealistic to want to intuitively understand their approximate level through their 'achievements'.
Therefore, Nagato put Yuyuki in the position of a substitute member, temporarily group up with Feidan, and wait until the observation results come out, and then it is not too late to turn him into a regular.
If the opponent's strength is enough, this is just a simple matter of going through the motions.
"Next, these are the goals."
Nagato thought about it, took out a few more wanted lists, and put them in front of Fei Duan.
Obviously, this is a new bounty mission.
Whether it is Yuyin or Xiao, they are very short of money at this time.
Sometimes, he was very envious of Shiraishi. There are many talents under hand, whether it is technical talents or talents who make money, they are everything. For something as vulgar as making money, you don't need to ask about it personally, and there will be a steady stream of funds delivered to you.
"Hey, Chief, isn't it? I've just come back, and now I'm going to ...... again Is the organization so short of money? β
Fei Duan resisted the urge to curse.
"There's no way, Mr. Orochimaru and Beryuhu need research funds over there."
Nagato patiently explained, not annoyed by the loud shouting of the flying dan.
"Damn, I'm not a bounty hunter who works for money, rather, I hate vulgar money the most."
Fei Duan obviously felt repulsed by the task sent by Nagato.
"Recently, the market has been sluggish, and the bounty business is a money-making industry with relatively high remuneration. Plus the rest of the group has important tasks, and it's up to you to do it. Also, I'd like to take a look at your group's co-production capabilities. β
Nagato's gaze fell on Yuyuki's body.
I hope that through these bounty tasks, I can take a look at the level of Ao Xue's business.
For example, what is the fate with 'money'.
ββ¦β¦β
Feidan sighed in despair.
Vulgar, disgusting, sinful money is corrupting his heart and life.
Let the believers make money without conscience, and they will definitely go to hell after death.
Hurry up and destroy, this hopelessly rotten organization of atheists!
β
The Land of the Valley.
"The results came out, and it was a man named 'Yuxue' who killed these people."
After a long combing and memory review, the interrogation ninjas of the Oni Country finally found a little bit about the murderer from the deceased.
And according to the last memories of the deceased, the appearance of the murderer is drawn.
"Snow?"
Yiji raised her eyebrows, she had never heard of this person at all.
She took the picture of the murderer and saw that it was a delicate young man with brown skin and white hair.
The image is extremely unfamiliar, whether it is the name or appearance, she is the first time to see her.
Being able to deal with so many ninjas at one time, it stands to reason that there will never be no name in the ninja world.
However, in the intelligence system of the Oni no Kuni, there is no such person.
"Can you know who he is?"
Kazuhime asked.
"There is no information about him in the intelligence system, but judging from the extracted memories, he grew up in the Valley of Hypocrisy when he was very young...... Although it is the face of a teenager, its real age is slightly older than its appearance. β
The interrogation ninja replied in distress.
"What about his Blood Inheritance Limit ability?"
"In the extracted memories, he was able to manipulate the soft soil, which was a combination of rigidity and softness. It is more fluid than a simple soil escape, and more tenacious than a simple water escape. It's like making up for the shortcomings of the water escape and the earth escape, and combining the two into one. β
The interrogation ninja gave such an assessment.
"Interesting abilities."
Kazuhime stared at the figure on the drawing, the unknown limit of the blood inheritance, enough to arouse her interest.
"Report this to the authorities and let them investigate this ninja named 'Yuyuki'. Now that the Valley of Hypocrisy has been destroyed by him, he should have fled to another country by now. β
"Yes."
The interrogator answered and went down.
Yiji also stretched, this matter is over for the time being, Gu Zhiguo still needs her to sit in charge for a while before she can go back, I hope there will be no more accidents in the future.
In fact, she thought more about the eastern border of the Oni Country, and confronted the border troops of the Earth Country.
It's a pity that it is still a punishment period, and in a short period of time, she will not be able to reinstate her position.
β
The land of ghosts, Aster City.
This super-modern city, full of industrialization, seems to be undergoing rapid changes every moment.
Compared to the last time she came to the city, Sakura felt that it seemed to be more prosperous.
Even if it's just a shinobi, Sakura knows the city, and in the ninja world, it is called the 'commercial capital' by many big merchants with incredible wealth.
Businessmen from all over the world, big and small, want to squeeze their heads out and start their own businesses here.
Even if it's just a wave of harvesting, it's enough to eat and drink for a few lifetimes.
There are even rumors that there is 'gold everywhere' here.
Just walk around and you can become a billionaire.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the one-family house, you can see more people than in Konoha Village, and even if it is snowing lightly, it can't resist people's enthusiasm to go out.
It only takes two platforms to cross the thriving commercial street of Ziyuan City.
From a geographical point of view, this place is indeed a valuable place.
Thanks to the credit accumulated by his parents over the years, it was the government of the Oni Country that paid it out as a 'salary'.
In addition to this, there is also a store of a medium-sized yakiniku restaurant, which has just turned the Haruno yakiniku restaurant in Konoha Commercial Street into a Haruno yakiniku restaurant in Shion City Commercial Street.
In terms of treatment, it should be considered very generous.
But......
Sakura looked bored at everything in the city, and the gray sky with light snow, a little dazed.
Suddenly changed to an unfamiliar environment, and I didn't know what to do at all.
Except for his family, the rest of the people here are very strange to him.
Moreover, I don't know what kind of arrangement I will passively accept next.
If you are hostile to your past partner......
Sakura thought of the possibility.
This is not impossible, because the relationship between the country of demons and the country of fire and Konoha is very bad.
Not long ago, an extremely tragic war broke out, and judging from the latest news, Konoha ended in defeat after making a part of the compensation...... It is not difficult to see that the relationship between the two sides, which was already like fire and water, has become worse. In this way, it is not impossible for hostilities to break out again and war.
When the time comes, if you also go to the battlefield and become hostile to your past companions......
Fear, hesitation, and panic suddenly occupied Sakura's pupils.
If it weren't for the man named 'Chiba Shiraishi' who mentioned Sasuke's matter that day, maybe he would have managed to leave the country of demons by now.
"If you want to know Sasuke, or if you want to be on the same side as Sasuke, it's better to stay...... The other party said something like this.
What do you mean?
Is there any connection between Sasuke and the country of demons?
Didn't he join Kakashi-sensei and take refuge in the traitorous Orochimaru together?
Why did the man named Chiba Shiraishi say that?
All sorts of chaotic thoughts were born in Sakura's mind, and she decided to stay for the time being and wait and see.
Although it was a little shameful, I had to admit that Sasuke's news made her heart shake strongly.
When Sasuke left, she even had a grudge against Sasuke.
Why leave without saying anything.
Why don't you take her with you......
Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but look embarrassed.
I was ashamed of my naΓ―ve thoughts at that time.
Become a traitor...... It's definitely not that easy, but it means that it will be carried at a heavy cost.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Sakura looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon...... In short, let's take a look at the medical book first.
In any case, as long as there is ability, there will be value of 'utilization' wherever it is.
Everything is false, only your own ability and knowledge will continue to appreciate over time, so that you can get a better life in this cruel world.
Just as she was about to go back to her room, a voice came from below:
"Is it Sakura Haruno?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice, Sakura looked down.
Outside the courtyard wall, a young girl of her own age appeared.
The long black hair is tied with a relatively simple braid, which is placed on the right chest, and the appearance is quite delicate, and it belongs to the girl who looks more and more attractive.
Wearing a ninja costume that is a little more fancy than the average ninja, it should be modified by herself, which fits her figure very well.
He wears a ninja forehead guard with an aster pattern on his forehead, and there is no doubt that he is a ninja who belongs to the military of the Oni no Kuni.
Moreover, to herself, this girl cannot be called a stranger.
If memory serves, the name is Haruka Hanami.
During the middle ninja exam, the only candidate who abstained from taking the test from the six Shinobi in the country of demons who entered the qualifiers.
Walk with yourself and be a medical ninja.
It is said that it also has a very rare blood inheritance limit.
"That ......" Sakura scratched her cheek with her fingers and asked a little puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with you?" β
"I'm Haruka Hanami." Afraid that Sakura wouldn't remember herself, Haruka Hanami introduced her name again, with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, I took you to the medical department to visit according to the orders of my superiors." If I'm not mistaken, you're also a medical ninja. β
"The medical department? Visit? β
Sakura blinked.
"Yes, although you were a Konoha ninja before, but now that you have joined the country of ghosts, it is natural to put you in the right position according to your ability. But since you are a newcomer, the first few days, you are not required to enter the work state, you just need to familiarize yourself with the next work environment. β
Haruka Hanami replied with a smile.
"That's right...... I understand. β
Sakura didn't refuse.
Indeed, Konoha is a place, maybe he won't be able to go back in this life.
As a human being, as a ninja, you have to go on living.
Even if you want to put on a look of seeking death and life, you will only embarrass yourself.
What's more, she is still very curious about the medical department of the Ghost Country.
β¦β¦
The military of the country of ghosts is composed of multiple military bases, that is, military jurisdictions, and non-related personnel are prohibited from entering.
The military gathers all the ninjas in the country and manages them in a unified manner.
The security department is fully responsible for the management of public order in towns and cities.
During non-holiday periods, it is almost impossible to meet ninjas affiliated with the military in Shion City.
Responsible for the security of Ziyuan City and nearby towns, it was the military's No. 1 Military Region that stepped forward and took over in an all-round way.
Since Shion City is the political, economic, and even cultural center of the Oni Country, the ninja power equipped here is also the most powerful.
The closer it is to the jurisdiction of the military region, the more scattered the surrounding buildings are, only a residential area, located outside the military region, far away from the bustle and bustle of the commercial street, and the air is filled with a cold atmosphere of solemnity.
Although the medical department of the Oni no Kuni, which is subordinate to the medical ninjas, is divided into military and civilian, the headquarters of the medical department is located within the jurisdiction of the Shion City Military Region.
In this particular turbulent period, the main forces of the medical sector are also concentrated in the business of the military and serve it.
The white gate was left open and not closed.
The gate is about twice as wide as the main gate of Konoha and can carry more goods.
From the location of the gate, you can also see the various buildings in an orderly manner.
It is roughly divided into an administrative council area, a research base, a medical institution, a ninja school, and a large comprehensive testing ground.
Following Hanami Haruka into here, Sakura only felt that the serious atmosphere here was too strong.
This made Sakura, who came here for the first time, feel very uncomfortable psychologically, as if she was so loose and free, and she didn't belong to such a place at all.
Unlike the noisy places in Konoha Village, where ninjas live together with civilians, even in the core administrative area of the Hokage Building, where residential areas and shopping streets are separated by a few walls, noisy noises can be heard during the day.
But not here, all you feel is cold seriousness.
Because there are no ordinary residents gathered here, except for technical and medical personnel, all of them are ninjas, or reserve ninjas.
Fundamentally, the word 'ordinary' is eliminated here.
Sakura took a deep breath, nervous about the atmosphere.
Tall buildings, barely visible from the outside, with the occasional team of heavily armed patrolling ninjas walking past in front of you.
When passing by the training ground, many ninjas use equipment to practice ninjutsu.
Ninjas strapped to various loads and dressed in thin clothing cut off their stamina and physical strength as they swept around the playground in the cold winter.
Look at the attitude they are accustomed to, and you can see that this is the way they live every day.
In addition to the necessary life and tasks, their only job is not to support their families, but to cultivate, keep cultivating, and make themselves stronger!
This surprised Sakura.
In her many years of Konoha life, the phenomenon of only ninjas cultivating is more like ninjas acting out of some kind of interest and hobby, and there is no subjective compulsion.
It is also common to relax for a long time after a mission.
But the ninjas here are different.
The expressions on their faces told all the time that their cultivation became stronger because this was the work they had to complete, and it was their responsibility and obligation.
And not out of any interest and hobby. When you want to cultivate, you can practice for several days in a row, and when you want to relax, you can also relax for a long time.
The most training for Konoha ninjas is the entrusted mission.
But most of the time the entrusted mission is in a hurry, and an encounter seems to only increase the experience of the enemy, but strength is such a thing, in Sakura's view, the most important thing is to accumulate over time and persevere.
Just like these ninjas in the country of ghosts who regard cultivation as their job and obligation.
It's as if someone has been driving them away with a whip from behind - if you don't, you're blaspheming the ninja profession and you'll die on the battlefield! If you want to live, if you want to get a better life, if you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to make yourself strong!
Sakura was shocked, and for a moment didn't know what to say about this behavior.
This changed her perception of the ninja profession.
Now she finally understands why Konoha lost the war.
This is by no means an accident, nor is it an accident, nor can the victory of the Oni Country be attributed to a fluke...... Rather, it is the result of taking it for granted.
The quality of the ninjas on both sides, the gap is too big!
