Yuyin Village looks magnificent, mainly because of its unusually tall longitudinal structure.

However, after taking a turn around, Kyojuro roughly speculated that the actual area of this island in the middle of the lake was actually less than 1/3 of Konoha, and the population density could not be compared.

Along the way, Kyojurou unsurprisingly met many enthusiastic "acquaintances".

But because of Xiao Nan's high status, not everyone dared to approach and greet Xing Shoulang.

But when they found Xing Shoulang, the look of excitement and tears in his eyes, Xiao Nan saw it all, and he was more sure of his previous thoughts-

Be sure to keep this kid.

Leaving the not bustling shopping street, the two came to the bottom of a tall tower in the center of the village.

Kyojurou's eyesight was good, and he immediately saw the corpse hanging on the top of the tower and letting the crow rest, and then stopped where he was.

This sense of déjà vu reminded him of the people of the Rain Country who were hanged by the rain ninja on the tree in the past.

At least in style, the two are highly unified.

Only the corpse was a little more miserable, the gray-brown ribs were exposed to the rain, and the right hand was missing, as if it had been cut off.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Nan suddenly stopped when he heard the footsteps behind him, and turned back suspiciously.

When she followed Kyojuro's line of sight, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

She remembered—

Although Kyojuro in Purgatory has a remarkable record, and among the characters he defeated, there are many henchmen around Sanshoyu Hanzo, but he has never killed anyone, just so that those guys can't continue to hurt others.

The visual impact of this scene in front of him may be a little too much for Xingjulang.

Apparently, she didn't know anything about what ghosts could do.

"That's Sanshoyu Hanzo."

Xiao Nan explained as coldly as he could, and Xingjurou slowly moved his gaze back.

"If he dies too easily, he won't be able to make up for the damage he has done to this country.

"Hanging him there is also to remind those ninjas who are eager to return to the Hanzo era not to have unrealistic delusions."

After the capture of Yuyin, Payne bloodied Hanzo's relatives and completely eliminated his cronies, but most of the surrendered Yunin survived.

These rain ninjas cannot be trusted for the time being, and now they are all idle.

Only after Xiao Nan completed the investigation and was sure that they could keep the secret of this place could he use them with confidence.

Hanzo's corpse was undoubtedly a threat to these people, so that they did not dare to act rashly after losing their privileges.

"I see!"

Kyojurou said noncommittally, "Please move on." ”

When Onimai Tsuji is punished at the bottom of the Infernal Hell, the immortal Minoru often smuggles through the underworld to see his bad luck and then comes back to tell the others.

Although not everyone wants to know the current situation of Onimai Tsuji, after listening to it, there is a feeling that some emotions have been released, such as the insect pillar butterfly ninja is especially obvious.

For civilians in this country who have long been in the shadow of Hanzo, it is a relief to see Hanzo's body hanging there.

Although Kyojuro did not approve of such cruel practices, he could understand it.

However, this behavior has also been exposed to a certain extent, and Hanzo's reign of terror has also been inherited to a certain extent.

If you can hang Hanzo today, you can hang anyone the day after tomorrow.

After all, the leader of the rain must have done this, in addition to showing strength, with the purpose of promoting fear.

Fear is not the best way to stabilize a chaotic place, but it must be the quickest way to achieve results.

And any kind of coercion that can bring quick feedback will gradually become addicted to people with power and power.

If he can suppress everything with violence and terror, why should he bother to find other ways to solve his problems?

And so it goes......

“……”

Xiao Nan saw that Xing Shoulang didn't say anything, and he was very satisfied with the child's sense of proportion.

She and Payne disagree on how to treat Hanzo.

She has a gentle personality and was not in favor of continuing this style of creating horror from the beginning, because this is definitely not something that Yahiko would do.

Yahiko yearns for a "completely different" rain country.

Therefore, after defeating Hanzo, Konan's idea was that it would be enough to publicly execute him in front of the residents of Yuyin Village and let people know that Hanzo was dead; As for his family members, it is enough to liquidate and deal with them according to their own actions, and play their due role as much as possible.

For example, how to manage a village of thousands of people, these latecomers have no experience at all, and it is very necessary to use waste.

However, Nagato's hatred for Hanzo was too unforgettable, and he directly washed all the high-level executives of Yuyin.

Coupled with the fanning of "Madara" and Jue, and the later appreciation of Scorpion and Kakudo, Hanzo's body has been hanging to this day.

Kyojurou didn't hide his emotions much, and Xiao Nan could tell that he didn't approve of it, but he didn't say anything.

Before getting acquainted with Nagato, this attitude may be just right.

[After all, he can't listen to any objections......]

[These two should get along well. 】

Xiao Nan entered the open elevator of the tower with some concern.

At the push of a button, the two of them rose higher and higher amid the rumbling of machinery and the sound of metal grinding like birdsong, and the other buildings outside shrouded in a hazy mist grew shorter, and the occasional figure of a passing person gradually became ethereal.

Anyway, she would occasionally go down, but Payne had been standing on a high place, looking down on the village through the mist......

But if Ape Fei Sun Slash couldn't see the truth of Konoha with a crystal ball, could he really see it when he stood there?

"Dang!"

At about the height of the twelfth or thirteenth floor of an ordinary building, the elevator slowly stopped.

Directly opposite the elevator door was a thick door with red clouds on a black background, and in the dim light, it looked like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast closing.

[How is it eerie?] 】

The nine-tailed chakra in Kyojuro's body sneered.

[The old man is not the kind of person who can't see the light. 】

Kyojuro agrees. But he doesn't want to judge people by their first impressions.

But to be honest, if the red cloud on the door turns into a red crescent moon and says that this is the hiding place of Onimai Tsuji Muru and the Twelve Oni Moons, Kyojuro will also believe it.

"This is the headquarters of 'Xiao'."

Xiao Nan led Xing Shoulang to take a few steps forward, and the door opened silently, revealing a dark and deep corridor.

"Let's go, don't keep Payne waiting too long."

[Nine Lamas, have you ever heard of the name "Payne"? 】

Xingjulang walked in silence in the road, but he communicated with the nine tails in his heart.

The interior of this building is not within the scope of the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, so it can be detected by Kagura's Mind Eye.

He could clearly feel that he was approaching a very powerful individual.

The other party gave him the feeling that he was a cut above the three generations of Hokage and Tsunade.

The reason why Kyojurou uses the term "individual" rather than "life" is because he detects that the chakra in the other party's body is a stagnant water, and there is no manufacturing process like a living person.

It's like cotton stuffed into a rag doll, but it's very different from the Wind Country puppets he's seen outside.

[I haven't heard of it.] It's a strange name, very different from the old man. 】

The Nine-Tails is in a state of complete concentration—

Not only the part of Kyojuro's body, but even the nine-tailed body that is far away in Konoha is also doing its best to maintain contact with this side.

He must see clearly what kind of person this guy with the eyes of an old man is!

The footsteps of Kyojuro and Konan gradually began to echo, and the two entered an empty room that looked like a church hall.

In the center of the hall are ten low red seats, which circle around the pillars of light cast from the skylight of the dome, but the rest of the hall is completely dark, mysterious and oppressive.

[Ten seats, is it because there are ten people in this organization?] 】

At Xiao Nan's signal, Xing Shoulang stopped outside the encirclement of those seats.

"Payne, we're here."

Xiao Nan's voice echoed in the darkness.

Purgatory Kyojuro saw that the powerful individual he had detected quietly emerged from the shadows behind a red seat.

To his surprise, although this young man with short orange hair also had the same circled eyes, it was by no means the same person he had last met and fought.

This is a handsome man, he has seen it for the first time.

He felt a restless stirring in his abdomen, and immediately threw his consciousness over.

[Yes! 】

The Nine-Tails roared with some excitement: [It's indeed the old man's eyes! But why...... I always felt that these eyes felt familiar. 】

Without waiting for Xingjulang to ask, it added maliciously: [Familiar makes people feel disgusting. 】

[Disgusting? 】

Kyojurou has some understanding of the limited vocabulary of the Nine-Tails.

When referring to Naruto and his mother, as well as Uzumaki Mito, the Nine-Tails are used as "vicious" and "hateful".

Only when arguing with Yoshiyo would the Nine-Tails use "disgusting" to describe the eyes of Yoshiyo and all the Uchiha people.

Kyojuro had asked the Nine-Tails why they hated the Uchiha so much, but perhaps it was something embarrassing involved, and the Nine-Tails didn't say it explicitly.

But this time, it actually used the same words to describe the man in front of him.

Kyojurou was at least sure of one thing - Payne's eyes should not have been dug up from the corpses of the Six Dao Immortals and then installed.

After all, every time the Six Dao Immortals are mentioned, although the Nine-Tails occasionally complain, they are still full of respect and nostalgia overall.

If Payne's eyes belonged to the Six Realms Immortal himself, it wouldn't have been this attitude.

[Most of them, the one in front of them is, the descendants of the "god".] 】

Sure enough, as if to confirm his guess, when Payne came to Kyojurou with an expressionless face, Xiao Nan immediately started the introduction session.

"This is Payne, the 'leader' of Akatsuki, and the 'god' of the Land of Rain."

"This is the Purgatory Kyojuro we've been looking for."

A brief silence ensued in the darkness.

"Fortunately! I'm Purgatory Kyojuro! ”

A loud voice radiated from Kyojuro's chest, and the entire space seemed to immediately increase its brightness.

He held out his right hand to Payne, but Payne didn't mean to hold it.

His emotionless eyes scanned Xingjuro coldly, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence: "For a person of this age, you are a little too powerful." ”

Although Kyojuro's figure is tall, his age can't hide from Payne, who has reincarnation eyes.

The last time Kyojuro came was a doppelganger, and Brute Dao thought he was at least twelve years old. But now that he saw it in its true form, Payne realized that he had been wrong.

The child was only about ten years old.

He has the eye of reincarnation, and when he was ten years old, he just learned a few C-rank ninjutsu from Jiraiya.

Just when Xiao Nan thought that this sudden compliment was Payne's show of kindness, she heard the other party's words immediately behind.

"Aside from the ninja villages of the five major countries, I don't believe anyone else can train a ninja like you."

The turbulent air flow poured out of him without warning, pushing Xiao Nan to take two steps back, and the latter panicked in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Payne! ”

"Tell me, who sent you to the Land of Rain?"

Payne didn't make a move, but the circle of eyes that had suddenly shrunk to the extreme looked extremely cold.

The golden-red circles and purple circles looked at each other in the dark tension, but Kyojuro was not nervous at all.

Neither he nor the Nine-Tails felt much malice from each other.

"You're mistaken, I'm not a ninja!"

Xing Shoulang's first answer made Xiao Nan feel a little familiar - the boy named Yiyong also said the same thing back then.

"I don't belong to any country! Here, just because here are the most people who need my help! ”

"If you insist on asking where I belong, I can only say that the Land of Rain is the starting point of my life in this world!"

This is the truth, so Kyojuro said it very calmly.

It was in the fortress of the Land of Rain that he was resurrected bravely.

Of course, when these words were heard in the ears of Xiao Nan and Payne, they automatically translated as "I was born in the Land of Rain".

What is the meaning of the beginning of life, you know everything.

This kid looks so burly, and his speech is quite literary, with all kinds of metaphors......

As if to testify to Xing Shoulang, Xiao Nan also hurriedly added: "Payne, the group of children with Hydrangea was rescued and cured by him back then. Since then, he has been active in the Land of Rain! ”

Sure enough, Payne's momentum reined.

It's not because Xiao Nan's words played a role, but according to his observations, Kyojuro didn't lie.

Since he was a child of the Land of Rain, he was his own person, so he gave up the temptation and turned around and walked to the circle of seats.

Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xing Shoulang's eyes with a hint of apology, but the latter just smiled at her, which immediately made her feel a lot more relieved.

Now that the temptation is over, it is time to get down to business.

The three of them were in an equilateral triangle, each sitting in a position, very similar to when they had a discussion with "Madara" before.

"Since you came here in person, you should have agreed to my last invitation and decided to join 'Xiao'."

Payne sat upright, separated by a pillar of light in the center, ready to begin a psychological construction activity for the new hire.

Diagonal and scorpion, they are attracted by interests, but for such a half-grown child, they may be able to render Xiao's purpose greater.

"But I still have to tell you more about the philosophy and ambition of 'Xiao', and the ultimate goal we want to achieve, which is-"

As his emotions grew, Payne's voice rose higher and higher, reaching the top of the empty room, as if a sacred chant (bgm: liturgy) suddenly sounded all around, waiting for him to finish the last few words of the sentence.

"The World and ......"

"Wait a minute!"

Payne's emotions that had been brewing for half an hour by himself were suddenly interrupted by a louder voice.

What he was about to say was like a cannonball stuck in the bore, and it rolled backwards again.

He looked at Kyojuro's expression, and suddenly became very unpleasant-

Nine-Tails sensed this malice, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

It tried to stop Kyojurou from talking, but it was too late.

"You may have misunderstood something."

Xing Shoulang said loudly: "I am not here to join this organization, but to determine whether Yuyin Village is suitable for everyone's life!"

"But honestly, even though I've only been here for half an hour, I'm still ......

"Very disappointed!"
