The village that was once under the bloody rule of Konoha has already resumed production. Various shops are arranged in an orderly manner. On the tall steel buildings, there are huge electronic screens playing old advertisements.

Different from the newness of the Ghost Country, the industrial equipment in this country is filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

Especially under the blanket of rain, a tragic and desolate atmosphere surrounds this place.

Maybe it's because the road has been effectively opened, and there are many pedestrians on the road. Although it's not necessarily prosperous, there is a warm feeling of being a little wealthy.

The envoys from several villages in Konoha were received by a Jonin of Amegakure and were introduced to Amegakure Village. They went to the central tower of Amegakure - that is, the entire Amegakure Village and even the highest administrative district of the Country of Rain.

.

The passing envoys looked at the village that had been devastated by the war. However, by this time, the traces of the war had long dissipated, and everyone could feel the peaceful atmosphere in the village.

Moreover, Sunny dolls made of white paper are hung in front of houses and shops.

Thinking that the Country of Rain is a country that rains all year round, with few sunny days throughout the year, the envoys disagreed.

"Speaking of which, I occasionally heard people say that Yuyin Village will have a sunny day every weekend. Is this true?"

A ninja from Sunagakure asked with a smile to the Amegakure jounin who was leading the way.

The Amegakure jounin who led the way also smiled in a 'friendly' manner, which seemed a bit forced.

"Yes, this is a miracle performed by Master Payne. He will block the rain above the village every weekend, and the dark clouds will break, allowing the sun to shine into the village."

This is actually not a miracle in Yuyin Village.

Even outsiders who come to Yuyin Village on that weekend can see such a shocking scene and feel that it is an omnipotent god descending to earth.

"Really? In other words, are all these sunny dolls arranged by your Lord Payne?"

The ninja from Iwagakure asked, without much respect in his tone.

Amegakure Jounin still just smiled reluctantly and replied: "No, that is something made by the God Envoy."

Divine messenger?

When the ninjas from several villages heard this, they immediately raised their eyebrows.

Some people smiled coldly, did the leader of this village really regard himself as a 'god'? He even brought out the god's envoy.

However, this is the matter of other villages after all. As envoys, they have more important things to do and will not find fault with this kind of thing. At most, they will feel disdain and ridicule in their hearts.

Tenzo, who is in the envoy group, came on behalf of Konoha. He did not show disdain like other villages. Although he felt that the ninjas in Amegakure Village were rare and strange, but no matter what, there was still less friction.

Better.

Amegakure Village is an extremely exclusive village. Most of the floating people in this village are from the Land of Rain. People from other places are rarely seen coming here. Just like Kirigakure, the village implements a closed country policy.

Konoha has sent people to test this village in the past, but every time they could not get anything useful. They also thought about forming an alliance with this neighbor, but considering that during the Third Ninja War, Konoha had betrayed

After Amegakure, Danzo's roots still exercised bloody rule here, so there has been no progress in re-alliance.

"However, this feeling..."

Tenzo subconsciously stretched out his palm under his raincoat and let the rain fall into his palm.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the weight of rainwater in Yuyin Village is a bit unusual, and it feels like I’m being stared at.

But the next moment, this feeling disappeared directly, as if it had never existed.

So, Tenzo looked up at the sky above Yuyin Village. It was still daytime, but the weather above Yuyin Village was very dark. The clouds were like a huge vortex, and the center was dark, like an abyss. Tenzo was frightened.

In a cold sweat, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to stare at the sky for too long.

What is this? An illusion? Tianzang felt a little confused for a moment.

A sense of oppression that he didn't know came from made him unable to breathe.

However, he did not notice anything abnormal, so he could only attribute this feeling to the fact that he had been too tired recently, so he had abnormal hallucinations.

"Everyone, this is it. Next, please send one person from each village to follow me to see Lord Payne."

Amegakure Jōnin stopped in front of the entrance of a tall tower, turned around and stared at the envoys from the four villages.

There are about seven or eight people in each village's envoy group, totaling more than thirty people.

But there is only one person in the lead.

In other words, only four people are allowed to enter and visit.

Tianzang and other leaders of several villages looked at each other, nodded, turned around and said a few words to the people behind them, asking them to stay and wait for the results, and the four of them could go in.

Therefore, Tenzo and other four envoys followed Ugakure Jonin into the tower. In the corridor, everyone lifted the raincoat hats on their heads, untied the raincoats, put them on the prepared hangers aside, and followed them lightly.

Although the tower building looks very much like an industrial building on the outside, there is no elevator installed inside, and you can only walk up through the stairs.

The people who followed were not impatient at all, and no one had any trouble. As a result, there was only the sound of footsteps in the corridor, making the space seem particularly quiet, and the sound of rain outside could not be heard.

I don’t know how long I walked on the long corridor, but finally, under the leadership of Ame Gakure Jounin, I reached the end of the high-rise building.

Then there is a straight passage with closed doors on both sides. The ceiling of the corridor is equipped with some dim incandescent lamps. Some of them seem to have not been replaced for a long time and begin to flicker. At the end of the road is a

A door leading to an unknown place.

The Jonin Amegakure walked to the end, knelt down, and gently opened the door, revealing the scene inside.

There is also a house within a house that looks like a square box. The overall frame is made of wood and is covered with translucent paper. There is an oil lamp shining inside, so you can see clearly. A figure is sitting on his knees like a fierce warrior.

, you can vaguely see the outline of the other party.

A group of Amegakure ninjas were arranged around the 'square', and the corner position was also occupied by the figures of Amegakure ninjas.

This means that the envoys received will be seen clearly by the Amegakure ninjas before and after, and they will not be able to make any small movements.

Samurai? Tenzo saw the burly figure of 'Quangang' through the shiny wallpaper.

According to some information he received, Payne, the current leader of Amegakure, is called the successor of Sansho Hanzo.

As the former leader of Amegakure, Sansho Hanzo is a ninja with superb swordsmanship, almost the best in the ninja world.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the current leader Payne received everyone in the posture of a warrior.

But, who is the other party?

In the ninja world, there are many ninjas who are good at swordsmanship, but the number of ninjas who are truly excellent at swordsmanship is actually very limited.

Since the opponent is the successor of Hanzo's will, he will definitely not be simple in swordsmanship.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Tianzang still couldn't figure out the true identity of the other party.

Mysterious and powerful, this impression is subconsciously engraved in Tianzang's mind and cannot be eliminated.

"Please take a seat. I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'm sorry that I can't come out to meet you in person."

The figure in the wallpaper coughed softly. The sound was old and deep, and there seemed to be signs of deliberate changes.

All of a sudden, everyone got rid of the inherent impression that the other party was an old man.

The voice was deliberately forged, and maybe even the person had been modified using the transformation technique, which meant that the person who was separated from them by a wall could be male or female, old or young.

Tianzang and others were a little unhappy, but they still obeyed the instructions and sat cross-legged on the prepared cushions.

There was no light in the room, only the old oil lamp burned to bring light.

Above the roof, there is an invisible darkness that is bottomless.

"Sir Payne, we are here this time to borrow Yugakure's power and obtain Yugakure's permission to help us search for a group of internationally dangerous criminals in the Kingdom of Rain. I don't know if Yugakure can..."

The first person who couldn't bear it was the Yunyin envoy. He went straight to the point and told the purpose of his trip.

"The Hokage of Konoha has already informed me about this matter in advance. I have also heard a little bit about the dangerous organization that kidnapped tailed beasts from all over the world. However, I want to know how you can determine who is from that organization.

What about those who have taken root in the Kingdom of Rain under my jurisdiction?”

On the opposite side of the wallpaper, the man's confused voice came, feeling puzzled by this.

Tenzo replied: "This information was first obtained by Lord Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha. Later, after repeated reconnaissance in each of our villages, some suspicious traces were indeed found in the Land of Rain. Of course.

, we do not suspect that Yuyin has colluded with that organization, and we hope to forgive him for any offense he has made."

"The Sannin Jiraiya, the famous one is also well-known to me. With his verification, this news is probably true. But I can't believe that such a group of dangerous people have appeared in the Rain Country under my jurisdiction, and I will also give you to him."

Involved..."

As he said that, he continued to cough a few more times.

Immediately, he changed the subject:

"However, this matter is of great importance, and I cannot make an immediate decision just based on your family's opinions. So, you go back first, and I will hold a Jonin meeting in the village and then vote. If the vote is passed, I will report it to all parties.

The villages will be notified, and then your villages can..."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by an angry voice:

"Asshole! I don't have time to wait for you to convene a Jonin meeting before taking action. Besides, I'm not here to listen to you whining here. I'm just here to inform you about this matter. Whether you agree or not, I don't care.

Okay, we Yugakure don’t need your Yugakure’s consent!”

The one who stood up was the Kumogakure messenger. When he said these words, a powerful chakra burst out from his body, tearing the floor under his feet.

Seeing the figure on the other side of the wallpaper fall into silence, the Kumogakure messenger immediately snorted coldly, kicked off his feet, and his legs were covered with lightning. Regardless of the unkind eyes of the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas, he rushed forward and clenched his fists hard.

Faced with the sudden difficulty of the Kumogakure ninjas, Tenzo and other envoys from the three villages did not stop him.
