Chapter 40: Code Names

It's cloudy, it's wet, and the leaves are still dripping water on the ground.

The scene was a little tense, Payne looked at Kakuto indifferently, Kakuto remained vigilant, and looked at Kakuto and Higashino Yu with the appearance of a happy person, and Higashino Yu put his hand on the hilt of the katana hanging from his waist.

Payne's voice rang out: "Immortal ninja, Kakuto...... I would like to invite you to join ......"

A gust of wind blew, and the sound stopped abruptly here as Higashino moved.

The long knife like a pool of autumn water was pulled out by Higashino Yu, and with the light of the knife, an indescribable momentum rose from Higashino Yu's body.

Kakudu subconsciously glanced at Higashino Yu, and it was this feeling again, the feeling that made him feel like he was going to die.

Payne and Jeho's eyes became solemn, but they were just dignified, Payne was just surprised that Yu Higashino seemed to be more powerful than he thought, and Jue was just marveling at when there was such a person in the ninja world, and they didn't think about what would happen next at all.

The long knife was completely pulled out, and the momentum on Higashino Yu's body seemed to have unlocked a seal, and it rose violently for another while.

"Whew!" The wind seemed to be stronger, as if it was converging on Higashino Yu from all directions.

"Rustle!" The trees in the forest were blown and swayed, "Hunt! Several people's robes were stirred by the wind.

The solemnity on Payne and Jue's faces deepened a little, but they didn't have time to think about it any more.

Higashino Yu had already condensed his sword momentum, his sword had been locked, and his people had already moved forward.

The wind seems to have stopped, and it seems to have completely condensed on Higashino Yu, and time seems to have stood still, and it seems to be because Higashino Yu is too fast.

Payne, Jew, and even Kakudo couldn't see Higashino's movements at all, but they saw a sword light.

The light of the knife was not so bright, it seemed to be a little dim, and it was about the same as today's weather.

Today is a cloudy day, the sky is gray, and it is a little depressing, perhaps because gray is like the color of death.

That's what this sword light is.

Jue finally realized that something was wrong, he found that this knife light was coming towards him, he wanted to hide, but he couldn't do it, probably because this knife light was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react, maybe because this knife light was as depressing as today's weather, so oppressive that people couldn't move.

Probably because of ...... He's dead.

When Payne reacted, he only heard the sound of "bang", and he turned his head to see that it was the sound of Higashino Yu retracting the knife and returning it to the sheath.

[Is this knife over?] Payne thought unconsciously.

He turned his head again to look at the people around him, and he was still standing there like that, without a single scar on his body, but his eyes had dimmed, even darker than the sky was today, the color of death.

"Bang!" The sound of the corpse falling to the ground came at this time, and this sound made Payne suddenly feel unconfident, could his eyes really stop this knife?

He claims to be a god, so what is this sword? Can you slash the gods?

"Who are you?" Payne looked away at Yu Higashino, who was holding his knife with his back to him.

Higashino Yu turned around, "Wang Luffy, a wandering ninja. ”

"......" Payne was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Wang Luffy, Jiaodu, I want to invite you to join Xiao. ”

"Okay."

Higashino Yu agreed quickly, which surprised Payne.

"Don't you ask what Xiao is?"

"I know, an organization with lofty ideals."

Kakuto was also surprised on the side, he still remembered that Higashino Yu had asked him before if he had joined Xiao.

[Could it be that his target is this Xiao Organization?] He already knew that Xiao was coming to recruit me? So found me in advance? Kakudo couldn't help but think.

Payne, who was on the other side, listened to Higashino's answer and couldn't help asking, "Why did you join Xiao?" ”

"Huh." Higashino Yu smiled, "Didn't you invite me?" ”

This is indeed a reason, but it is not the whole reason, mainly after Higashino Yu killed Jue just now, he was thinking, without the mastermind behind Jue, what would happen to Obito? What will happen to Madara Uchiha? What will happen to Nagato? What about the Xiao organization?

Higashino Yu was a little curious about the final result.

For Higashino Yu, "curiosity" and "interest" are enough reasons.

He originally came out with a vest to get materials, and if he thought it was interesting, he continued to play, and if he felt bored or hindered something, he would be sold out of the big deal.

"That's true." Payne replied indifferently, then looked back at Kakuto.

"I'm willing to join in." After thinking about it for a while, Kakudu responded like this.

The reason is also very simple: Wang Luffy is much stronger than him, Wang Luffy has already joined, and if he doesn't join, he will definitely be beaten again and then forced to join.

"Okay, in the future, your code name in the organization will be Beidou, and this is your ring." After saying this, Payne threw a ring to him, and then looked at Higashino Yu.

"If he is killed by you, then your code name will be inherited by you."

For Jue's death, Payne had some mood swings, but the mood swings were not big, after all, Jue was the one who claimed to be brought by Madara Uchiha, and he didn't fully trust it in the first place.

In fact, except for Xiao Nan, he may not trust anyone else.

At the end of the day, the Akatsuki organization is a group of people who come together for various purposes, and Nagato doesn't care what their purpose is, as long as it can help him achieve his purpose.

This is true for the man who calls himself Madara Uchiha, and it is the same for Yu Higashino.

At this time, Yu Higashino responded to Payne's previous words.

"What's his code name?" It was said in the original book, but Higashino Yu doesn't remember.

"Xuanwu."

"It's not good, why don't you change it."
