[Note: The timeline of the organization of this book refers to the version of the ninja drama "Xiao Chuangsheng"]

Land of Rain.

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

"Is the base of 'Xiao' located in this kind of place? I'm really disappointed, I thought I would be in Hanzo's village. ”

This man's voice is soft, as if he can pass the clammy and cold air directly into the marrow of the person.

He brushed back the hair that blocked his vision, and his slender eyes were surrounded by snake-like golden vertical beams, and the sharp shape of purple eyeshadow spread to the wings of his nose, reinforcing the dangerous and gloomy impression he gave people.

As he walked to the edge of the lake in the deepest part of the cave, the sound of the pages being blown by the wind rattled with disgust.

"Orochimaru, there is no Hanzo village anymore."

Konan appeared on a huge rock, and while folding his wide wings, he corrected Orochimaru's wording.

"The demigods of the Land of Rain have been put to death and hung on the highest part of the village for public display. Now this country will be protected by the true God. ”

After that, the orange-haired Heavenly Dao Payne, and the one who was caught by two flytraps appeared one after another.

"Since there are these eyes of the Six Dao Immortals, it makes sense for the word 'god' to be used here."

Orochimaru looked at this young man who had defeated him with just one blow, and there was no respect in his eyes, only naked envy and longing.

Then his gaze focused on Xiao Nan's face for a moment, and suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel familiar, you are the ...... at that time"

"They're dead."

Payne suddenly interrupted Orochimaru's words, his tone irrefutable.

"Understood."

Orochimaru smiled and licked his lips, reaching out and drawing a "confidential" gesture in front of his mouth.

"Payne, do you really want him to join us?"

After Xiao Nan found out that his identity was exposed, he hesitated. Once Orochimaru can't keep his mouth shut and tells Jiraiya about the matter, the scene will be very troublesome.

Her orange eyes stared at Orochimaru, and she said in a cold voice, "The scorpion told me that he attacked a Konoha shinobi who was less than fourteen years old in the Land of Water, and almost died there. Maybe he was strong and famous in the past, but now that he is old, he is no different from Hanzo. ”

"Speaking of which, I can't help but defend myself."

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

"If there is any ninja in this world whose strength is not affected by age, then I and the Red Sand Scorpion who turned myself into a puppet are naturally the best. As for the matter of the Land of Water, it was not the young Shinobi who defeated me, but the famous Instant Water Stop. At that time, my previous body was close to collapse, but now that I meet him again, it is difficult to say what the result will be......"

"Oh, hehe, it's worthy of the legendary three ninjas, and they can even do such a thing as parasitic souls."

He let out a gloomy admiration, and then said to Payne: "He was personally recruited by you, and you should know the strength." I couldn't trust him, but I always felt that he would be able to do something special. ”

"Payne, he also had a part in the destruction of this country back then!"

Xiao Nan's opinion is very different.

He glanced at her with empty eyes, and then stopped talking. Silence pervades the space, waiting for Payne to make a final decision.

"Since you've inquired about Xiao's information, you should know that the Tailed Beast is our target."

After a long time, Payne finally spoke, "You failed there, go back there." Try to catch the three tails and come back to see it, and you can also prove your worth. ”

After speaking, he raised his hand to stop Xiao Nan, who wanted to speak, and looked at Jue: "Is Uchiha Shisui still in the Land of Water?" ”

Jue replied, "Both Uchiha have already left the Land of Water and returned to Konoha. ”

Payne's reincarnation eyes looked at Orochimaru again: "If you fail again this time, you won't have any excuses." ”

"It just so happens that I'm also very interested in the legendary perfect human pillar force."

Orochimaru confidently agreed, and then his voice changed.

"However, I would like to receive some of the body tissue of Sanshoyu Hanzo as an advance payment for this mission."

Xiao Nan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"No problem."

Payne nodded and ordered, "Absolutely, give him the right hand of the Sanshoyu Hanzo." Then I went to inform Loquat Shizo that this time the mission was carried out by him and Orochimaru. ”

"Yes."

Without further words, he immediately retracted into the ground beneath his feet.

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

Half of the black and white monster's body, fern-like shape, and ability to silently escape to the ground reminded him of the pot that Konoha had put on his head.

[I see, the monster mentioned in the secret letter of the group is simply a spy sent by Xiao to spy on various villages! ] 】

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

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

With that, Payne vanished into a cloud of smoke.

Xiao Nan stared at Orochimaru coldly, then turned into countless pieces of paper and disappeared in all directions.

It turned out that both of them were just doppelgangers.

This place is not a base either, but a base for meetings.

"Are you so cautious that you still think of yourself as a god? It seems that the god of the country of rain is only the instrument of the country of rain. ”

Orochimaru turned around and walked out of the cave with a sarcastic expression.

"But...... Is the beheading broadsword in the ninja sword of the Seven? What a reluctant companion. ”

At the same time, in the tallest building in Yuyin Village, Xiao Nan and Heavenly Dao Payne, who was installing the Shura Dao, both received memories transmitted back by the clones.

"Nagato! It's not time to collect Tailed Beasts yet. And the four generations of Mizukage, haven't they been controlled by Madara a long time ago? ”

Because there were only two people, Xiao Nan called Payne by his first name, eager to know what the other party was doing it for.

In order to prove his identity, Madara turned the four generations of Mizukage into puppets of the Sharingan in front of the two of them, and it was from then on that the real Land of Blood Mist was born.

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

Payne didn't look back, and continued to twist the wrench around Shura Dao's body.

"Didn't he say that the strange man 'Dry Persimmon Ghost Friend' of the fog will also join Xiao? Just right, let him take the place of Loquat Shizang. ”

Xiao Nan fell silent.

At present, the members of the Xiao organization, she, Payne, and the original team are definitely the first team.

The bounty hunters, Horn and Scorpion, were conquered by force of force by Payne and her, respectively.

Loquat Shizang was the only one who immediately said he wanted to join when he saw the aftermath of their battle.

But in all fairness, in every respect, the Loquat Ten Collections are too conventional.

If you want him to leave the organization, you have to keep it a secret, and you don't have to do it yourself, so there is only one way to let him die.

But Xiao Nan has just adapted to his current identity, and he still has some unbearable feelings in his heart, after all, he has been doing his best to make money for the organization during this time, and he has never made any mistakes.

So she thought for a while and said, "The organization is still very short of people, and there is no problem with one more person." ”

"No, I've found a new purpose. It's not strong enough, but the potential is huge. ”

Payne's answer surprised Nan.

"Who?"

"In the past two years, hasn't there been a yellow-haired boy who has saved people's lives everywhere in the Land of Rain?"

Speaking of this person, even Payne's tone was much softer, "He tried to infiltrate this village and was discovered by the Rain Tiger's Freedom Technique. The beast has found him and will invite him to join Xiao. ”

The surprise that suddenly appeared in Xiao Nan's eyes couldn't be faked.

She has been looking for this person for more than two years, but the other party is like her, only living in the description of the rescued.

The people of the Land of Rain, who like exaggerated metaphors, call it "the sun of their hometown", which shows how much influence the other party has in this country, and Xiao Nan also takes it for granted that the other party is a child of the Land of Rain and the hope of the future.

She knew that all of Payne's visions were the same, so she hurriedly asked, "Did he agree?" ”

"Nope." Payne's answer made her a little nervous, "Still, the beast will knock him out and bring him back." ”

"Try not to hurt him." Xiao Nan made a request.

Although it is rumored that the other party has dealt with eight Yuyin Shinobi at the same time, Xiao Nan knows that that person will never be Payne's opponent.

"He's very strong, even if he gets injured, he won't have a big problem-"

Tiandao Payne's voice stopped abruptly, and the wrench in his hand stopped twisting.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Nan asked.

Payne turned his head and said with a hint of incredulity: "He's just a doppelganger...... There is also a brute road, but he was injured. ”

"......" Xiao Nan was stunned for a while, and his body immediately turned into a piece of paper and flew out of the window, "If I go to him, I will definitely convince him!" ”

……

Konoha, the time of the end of school, is also the time of the school year's vacation.

Uchiha Itachi wore a shinobi uniform and stood alone outside the gate of the ninja school under the envious eyes of a group of students.

As for Zhishui, when he was swaggering through the street, he was caught by Inuzuka Paw, who followed the smell, and the other party said that it was time for him to repay the kindness of three years ago, so Zhishui was dragged away without saying anything.

I think he didn't resist, because he was afraid that Yiyong would find him to practice dissolving illusions again.

For his younger brother's hobby, Itachi couldn't find a specific reason. However, since the water stop is not going to appear this time, it is up to him to help Yiyong train!

In this way, you will spend more time with them.

While he was pondering, he suddenly heard a lively and loud "big brother"! The emotions are unusually full!

[It's Sasuke's voice!] 】

Itachi didn't think much of it, thinking that Sasuke was calling him, so he raised his head and smiled, and looked inside the school-

But as a result, he saw that Zuosuke was holding his camera high and rushing towards a group of graduates wearing forehead guards.

And in the middle of nearly twenty graduates, there was a tall yellow-haired figure surrounded by groups.

Zuosuke shouted excitedly, "Big brother! I borrowed Mr. Oishi's camera! ”

His way of saying that every sentence ends with an exclamation mark, Itachi has never seen it at home, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to deal with it, so he could only stare closely at Zuosuke's every move.

"Great! Now we can take a group photo! Sasuke, I'll leave the photo to you! ”

The yellow-haired boy shouted excitedly.

"Then let's start lining up!"

Sasuke also responded loudly.

The crowd immediately dispersed and formed in three columns.

Itachi can see clearly that among this group of graduates, there are Uchiha, who is naturally cold, Hinata who is always pessimistic, and Inuzuka who always smells something.

But at this moment, they all had sincere smiles on their faces, and together they pushed the child who Zuosuke called "big brother" into the middle of the queue.

Zuosuke aimed his eyes at the small hole on the side of the shutter and stretched out his hand to signal: "Shout at me - it's delicious (no wheat)!" ”

"Delicious (wheat-free)!"

A huge wave of sound spread out, and the heavy door of the ninja school's half-open was completely pushed open.

Sasuke pressed the shutter, and all his expressions were frozen when he shouted the "AI" sound!

Purgatory Kyojuro walked out of the crowd, came to Zuosuke's side, turned around and said, "Although everyone is about to graduate, we can still see each other!" In the future, you should smile heartily like this, and never close your heart! No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them bravely, and if you see others in difficulty, you can also help! Remember it! ”

"Remember!"

"Okay! A digression! If anyone finds the task of Shinobi boring, they can hand it over to me! I'll go and complete this task and get half of the honorarium! Everyone met my doppelganger outside, just say it! ”

"Got it!"

"So be it! We'll see you later! ”

Kyojurou waved his hand, but the group of graduates bowed to him in unison.

Xing Shoulang was slightly stunned, and then bowed in return.

Itachi was surprised to see that many of the graduates looked up with tears in their eyes, as if they were reluctant to leave.

At this point, he finally found the real reason why something was wrong with the garrison.

The "culprit" is not the new teacher in the mouth of the waterstop, but a student, or a junior student.

After the graduate left, Kyojuro and Sasuke were still talking about something. Suddenly, he glanced in Itachi's direction with a sense of feeling, and immediately pointed to Sasuke.

"Brother!"

Zuo Suke's surprised voice, and his figure rushing over like a happy puppy, finally filled Itachi's empty heart. At the same time, he also determined that "big brother" and "elder brother" are two completely different titles.

"You're back? I've heard about your attack, are you okay? ”

Sasuke scanned Itachi's body with wide eyes.

"It's fine." Itachi gently stroked Sasuke's hair, "It's you, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've grown a lot taller." ”

He was a little surprised, today was the day of the final exam results of the ninja school, but Zuosuke didn't mean to show him.

Did you not do well in the exam?

Of course, he didn't ask, but looked around: "What about Yiyong?" Isn't he with you? ”

"Oh, this ......"

Zuo Zhu replied: "Yiyong has always not gone to the main gate, so he should go shopping!" ”

Itachi lowered his head in disappointment, and then scooped him up and placed him on his shoulder when Sasuke was unconscious.

"Then let's go home!"

"Good!" Although Zuosuke felt a little ashamed, he didn't refuse, and hurriedly waved his hand at Kyojuro, and left with Itachi.

After Zuo Zhu left, Kyojuro on the playground immediately became a little serious.

Because it was just ......

He tried to infiltrate the clone of Rain Hidden Village and was eliminated.

And the person who eliminated this clone was the green-haired ninja who used a giant shuriken to destroy the carriage he and Yi Yong were riding in three years ago.

But now the other party has not only changed his hair color, but also changed his eyes, and the chakra on his body is also very weird.

Kyojurou raised his finger, and Kagura's eyes spread throughout the village, and he immediately found the location of the righteous chakra.

"That's, in the bookstore on Pedestrian Street? Wait, wait! ”

Kyojurou muttered loudly with some curiosity, "What is Yiyong's mother doing hiding outside the store?" ”
