After Bai Yu finished speaking, he left decisively. Seeing that Yahiko's face was a little ugly, Xiaonan couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Yahiko, what should we do?"
To be honest, although she also respects Hanzo, she does not have the same admiration for him as Yahiko, because of how harsh the living environment in this country is. After becoming an orphan, Xiaonan fully understood.
There are very few people who grew up in this kind of environment and still have their original aspirations and dreams.
As the leader of Amegakure Village, it is not impossible for Hanzo to betray the Akatsuki organization for greater interests.
"We should trust Hanzo more than that unidentified mysterious man, right?" Yahiko asked, but his expression was obviously struggling.
Although Yahiko has a bright mind, he has seen too many dark things in the Land of Rain over the years, so he does not understand everything.
This time Hanzo showed too much trust and respect for their Akatsuki organization, and everything went smoothly.
In the past, Yahiko might have had doubts, but the goal he had worked hard for so many years has finally taken a big step forward. Even if there may be a trap ahead, he must step into it and try.
After all, no matter what, Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin Village who has great goodwill towards them, cannot be doubted by a few words from the mysterious man.
It seems clear at a glance how to choose.
After much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and finally strengthened his belief. He chose to believe in Hanzo, believing that Hanzo had the same belief as them.
"The original meeting time remains unchanged. Next, members of the organization are asked to be careful and pay attention to domestic trends."
Yahiko said solemnly that with their intelligence network, it was impossible to investigate whether Amegakure Village had any malicious intentions towards them, so they could not send people to investigate at all and could only be a little more careful.
"Yahiko, no matter what choice you make, I will support you!" Xiaonan felt Yahiko's struggle and reached out to hold his hand.
Nagato on the side also stepped forward and said: "Yahiko, you are our leader. We will unswervingly implement any decision you make. We must trust your own judgment."
Encouraged by Konan and Nagato, Yahiko regained his confidence and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
The new era is beckoning to them again, how can they hesitate to move forward at this time?
...
The Land of Rain is a crying country, and this is absolutely true.
This country is either raining or about to rain. The continuous rain can easily make people feel irritable.
The sky was getting dark, the small villages near Yuyin Village briefly cleared up, and the ground was slippery and muddy.
Xiaonan patrolled the area as usual.
Due to the lack of manpower and the fact that the small village is located not far from Amegakure Village, and Konan's strength is second only to Yahiko and Nagato in the Akatsuki organization, she patrols alone.
When Xiaonan arrived outside the village, she clearly felt that the village was too quiet.
It was just getting dark, and even if most people went to bed early, the whole village would not be silent, not even the sound of children crying or dogs barking.
"Something's wrong!"
After feeling something abnormal, Xiaonan quickly ran towards the village and soon saw the house collapsed and many villagers lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
She hurriedly came to the unconscious villager's side, stretched out her finger, and tested the other person's pulse.
However, Xiaonan discovered that the other party's body was still warm, but there was no pulse at all.
"not good!"
The next second, the unconscious villager in front of Xiao Nan suddenly expanded rapidly, and then exploded, and a large amount of purple smoke dispersed.
Xiaonan retreated immediately, but the bodies of the villagers around her exploded, and purple smoke quickly covered the entire surrounding area.
"Oops, this smoke..."
Xiaonan jumped into the air. Although she held her breath for the first time, the smoke seemed to penetrate into her body from her skin. Almost instantly, she felt paralyzed and her mind was confused. When she landed, her vision went dark and she fainted. Fall to the ground.
At this time, four ninjas wearing Yuyin Village forehead protectors quickly came from a short distance away, tied up the unconscious Konan, and then took him away on their shoulders.
After the four people left with Xiaonan, the incarnation of the wood spirit emerged from the ground.
Before Bai Yu told Yahiko the information, he knew that they would most likely not believe it.
After all, compared to Hanzo, his credibility as a mysterious person is very low.
So he has been hiding in the dark.
In order to deal with the Akatsuki organization, the most important thing for Hanzo is to kill Konan and Nagato, led by Yahiko. If these three leaders die, the Akatsuki organization will collapse immediately.
Among the three, Xiaonan is the weakest, so the probability of Yuyin Village taking action against her is the lowest. They kidnap one first and then use it to threaten the other two, a classic plot.
After discovering Xiaonan going out on patrol alone, Bai Yu followed him.
As he expected, Yuyin Village ambushed Xiaonan and captured her alive through poison.
Originally, Bai Yu could have helped save Konan just now, so that Yahiko and Nagato would owe him a big favor.
And because there was an attack on a small village near Yuyin Village, it must have been done by people from Yuyin Village, and it was definitely related to Hanzo.
But after a brief contact, Bai Yu learned that Yahiko was a naive person, or that he was an idealist.
Such people are the easiest to trust others and the least willing to speculate on others with malicious intent.
To be honest, Bai Yu likes or admires people like Yahiko very much.
When such a person serves as the leader of an organization, the organization will be very cohesive, because most people who are attracted to idealists will have dreams and beliefs.
However, coupled with the premise of troubled times, idealists will only lead the organization to destruction.
Bai Yu saves Konan, there are only two results, one is to gain the gratitude of Yahiko and Nagato, but Yahiko will still excuse Hanzo, thinking that someone may be able to destroy the alliance, so he pretends to be an Amegakure ninja and attacks Konan.
As for the second possibility, Yahiko and Nagato may not only not be grateful for the convenience, but may think that this is Bai Yu's conspiracy.
Bai Yu always likes to speculate on others with a certain degree of malice. After all, in the world of Naruto, the protagonist's name is Uzumaki Naruto, not Naoki, nor Yahiko.
In troubled times, one wrong move could cost you your life.
Because of his preconceived notions, Yahiko has now placed all his hopes on Hanzo. If he wants to make him see the reality clearly, he must let him taste the pain himself.
"The world has too much malice towards innocent and kind-hearted people. I hope things can change in the future."
Bai Yu murmured in a low voice, even if he can save everyone in the Akatsuki organization this time, he doesn't know if Yahiko will remain the same as before. The emotions contained in him are extremely pure. I don't know if he has experienced such a drastic change. Will the emotion be purer, or will it undergo a fundamental shift?
...
the next day.
Today is the day when the Akatsuki organization and Hanzo meet.
Yahiko, Nagato, and other members got up early.
Although this was a formal meeting, only Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were able to go, but the other members were all in agitated moods.
This time we need to discuss the specific details of the alliance with the three countries of wind, fire, and earth. Although there is still a long way to go before the formal alliance, we can only proceed with the subsequent steps after completing the first step.
From today on, the Akatsuki Organization will truly be on an equal footing with Yuyin Village and become a close partner.
"Nagato, have you seen Konan and Hatosuke?" Yahiko couldn't help but ask when he came to the top of the tower and saw Nagato alone.
"That should be the case. I heard Jiuzuke say yesterday that we need to investigate the entire surrounding area. Xiaonan also went to patrol nearby villages, maybe with Jiuzuke." Nagato replied.
Yahiko frowned slightly: "Today is obviously such an important day."
Nagato asked: "What should we do? Do we want to wait for Konan to come back?"
Hearing this, Yahiko shook his head slightly and said, "No, let's go first. We can't keep Hanzo waiting for too long. When Konan comes back and sees that we are not here, he will rush over as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Nagato nodded.
"From today on, a new era begins!" Yahiko said firmly. At this moment, he had completely chosen to believe in Hanzo.
Not long after the two left.
Jisuke, who went on patrol, returned to the tower stronghold.
He was about to take a rest when a ninja rat climbed down from the rafter carrying a small scroll and quickly came to his side.
"Do you have any information?" Jiuzuke took off the scroll in confusion. The information in the scroll made his expression change.
"Hey! Get up!"
Kusuke shouted.
In the room, the members of the Akatsuki organization who were sleeping soundly woke up from their sleep.
"Where are Boss Yahiko and Boss Nagato!? Have they gone to see Hanzo?"
Jiuzuke asked anxiously.
"Yes, today is the day of the meeting. We set off ten minutes ago." A tall and muscular member of the Akatsuki organization replied.
"No! Come with us!" Jiuzuke said quickly.
"What happened?"
"Members of the organization who infiltrated the border of the Country of Fire discovered that a large number of ANBU members from Konoha have entered the Country of Rain. They are now rushing towards the Rain Hidden Village. Today happens to be the day of the meeting. This is too coincidental. Boss and the others have Danger!"
"Then let's go and provide support!"
A group of more than 20 people quickly left the tower and rushed towards Yuyin Village.
It was raining heavily outside. After leaving the village, the group of people were galloping through the forest.
However, before they could walk out of the dense forest, ripple-like textures appeared in the space they faced. Obito wearing a white swirl-shaped mask appeared in front of them, and then, Black and White Zetsu emerged from the ground.
"At this point, I can't let you go any further."
Obito imitated Madara's voice, with a hint of coldness in his deep voice, and looked at the members of the Akatsuki organization in front of him with indifferent eyes.
At this time, Bai Yu controlled the incarnation of the wood spirit and stood on a tree trunk not far away, with half of his body integrated into the trunk. Neither Obito nor Black and White Zetsu found any trace of him.
"Are you Hanzo's people?" Hatosuke said coldly.
Obito's tone remained unchanged and said: "We are not Hanzo's people, but in order for Nagato to recognize the reality, we cannot let you disrupt the situation."
"Kill him!"
Following Hatosuke's order, more than two dozen members of the Akatsuki organization rushed towards Obito and Black Zetsu.
Obito had no intention of taking action at all, and ordered to Black and White Zetsu at the side: "I'll leave the miscellaneous soldiers to you."
"Really, you can really summon people." Bai Zetsu's main body couldn't help but complain. Although Obito is now playing Uchiha Madara, Bai Zetsu's main body has no respect for him.
Of course, even though he was complaining, Bai Zetsu's movements were not slow, and he immediately summoned dozens of Bai Zetsu to attack the members of the Akatsuki organization.
In Bai Yu's observation, the chakra strength of these white creatures is probably a little stronger than that of chunin, but not as strong as jounin.
However, among the twenty-odd ninjas in the Akatsuki organization, except for the leader Hatosuke, who has light blue oil paint on his face, the others are all at the chuunin level. Only Hatosuke has the chakra strength of the jounin level.
After all, the Akatsuki organization is just a new type of organization in the small country of Rain Country. It is already quite powerful with such a scale.
In Bai Yu's perception, Yahiko also has chakra strength at the elite Jonin level, and Nagato has reached the Kage level.
"What a pity. I didn't expect that Obito's strength would reach this level after not seeing him for such a short period of time!"
Bai Yu, who was watching, sighed secretly.
"Is this the eye technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Facing Jiuzuke's attack, Obito stood directly on the spot, and Jiuzuke's sharp knife directly cut through Obito's neck.
It looked like a ninja sword cutting through the air.
"This is either an illusion or an entity. How come the attack failed? Is it... space ability?!"
Bai Yu reacted quickly, and he clearly felt the spatial fluctuations.
"Obito is indeed different from what he used to be. The Mangekyou Sharingan, space ability, and wood escape have directly raised him from a chunin level to a first-class kage level. I wonder if he can use the same Susanoo as Madara. Huh."
Seeing Obito killing all the members of the Akatsuki organization, Bai Yu sank into the ground and quickly rushed towards the direction of Yuyin Village.
Now Obito, with this spatial ability alone, can be invincible against him and Kushina.
Recalling Obito's cold words and actions just now, it seems that because of Lin's 'death' and Madara's brainwashing, his mind has been distorted.
"Speaking of which, Yahiko and Obito are very similar. That's why Obito hopes that Hanzo can kill Yahiko. After all, people who abandon the past are most afraid of seeing people who are similar to their former selves. Unfortunately, I can't let you do so."
Bai Yu speeds up. He must save Yahiko at the critical moment, so that he can completely gain the trust of the Akatsuki organization.
As for the lives of other Akatsuki members, that was the price of Yahiko's innocence.
"If you advance to level two, you should be able to learn "Dimension Lock". "
The space abilities of Obito and Namikaze Minato made Shiroha feel a little troublesome. In the future, Konoha may be an enemy rather than a friend, and Obito obviously has a psychological problem. Although Lin is the trump card, it is best to rely on yourself. There is a powerful spell "Dimensional Lock" in the "Book of Ancient Yinduo Warlock" that specifically confines space. The initial learning requirements for this spell are extremely high.
After all, when it comes to spatial abilities, being able to do so at the second level is because of the power of the "Book of Ancient Yinduo Warlock".
Many first-level wizards are stuck at first level because they can't find suitable second-level spells.
Every high-level spell is a valuable asset for the wizard.
...
Outside Yuyin Village, under the empty cliff.
This was once the place where Hanzo and the Sannin of Konoha had a decisive battle.
At this time, Hanzo was standing on the cliff, and the ninja beside him grabbed Konan who was tied up with a rope.
And behind him were hundreds of Amegakure ninjas.
On the other side, there is Danzo and the root ninjas under his command.
Although Hanzo was secretly annoyed that Bai Yu had not solved the Akatsuki organization's problem as agreed, he did not put all his hope in Bai Yu and the Uzumaki clan at first.
This trial also strengthened Hanzo's determination to cooperate with Danzo.
"Yahiko, as long as you commit suicide, I will let this woman go. Otherwise, the three of you will die here." Hanzo grabbed Konan and placed the sharp kunai across Konan's neck.
Yahiko looked in disbelief. Everything the mysterious man said was true. It was his innocence that personally brought the Akatsuki organization to a desperate situation.
Whoosh!
The kunai was shot off the cliff by Hanzo and landed at Yahiko's feet.
"That red-haired ninja, kill Yahiko, and I will let you and this woman go." Hanzo's cold voice sounded.
Nagato lowered his head blankly and looked at the kunai at his feet, his hands trembling uncontrollably. Is this the nature of the world?
At this time, Konan on top of the cliff screamed: "Nagato! Yahiko! Leave me alone! Leave quickly!"
"Nagato..." Yahiko looked at Nagato firmly: "Kill me."
Nagato's eyes widened, his breathing gradually became faster, his chest felt tight, and he was a little out of breath.
"Hurry up!" Hanzo urged.
Nagato slowly picked up the kunai. Whether he gave up Yahiko or Konan, he couldn't do it.
Poof!
Yahiko rushed up quickly and bumped into the kunai in Nagato's hand. The kunai penetrated deeply into his lower abdomen, and blood spurted out. At the same time, the poison smeared on the kunai quickly entered Yahiko's body. During this time, he felt that all the strength in his body was rapidly draining away.
"No—! Yahiko!" Konan on the cliff let out a shrill scream.
Nagato's whole body turned to stone in an instant. Yahiko's body was half leaning on Nagato's shoulder, and he said with difficulty: "Nagato, live well with Konan, because you... are the savior of this world."
thump!
After finishing speaking, Yahiko fell into boundless darkness and fell to the ground.
"Yahiko, it's true..." On the other side of the cliff, Bai Yu, who had just arrived, looked at Yahiko's decisive collision with kunai, and couldn't help but sigh, maybe this is the real will of fire. For the sake of his companions, he will give up everything. He went to die without hesitation. Before he even had time to get close, Yahiko moved. Maybe he chose death without thinking in detail.
At this time, Bai Yu moved and quickly ran towards the bottom of the cliff.
Yahiko's injury is fatal to ordinary medical ninjas, but for people like Bai Yu, it is different.
The wood spirit can use the Immortal mode of the Shiky Bone Forest. The Immortal Technique Yang Escape is very helpful in treating injuries.
He could even save Lin from being stabbed in the heart, not to mention Yahiko's current injury.
Of course, the speed must be fast. With the force of Yahiko's impact just now, the wound is probably very large. If there is too much blood loss, it will also be a problem.
Whoosh!
Noticing Shiroha, who was wrapped in a black robe, rushing towards him, Hanzo frowned slightly, waved his hand gently, and all the surrounding Amegakure ninjas threw kunai at Nagato.
The so-called promises are naturally not counted at this time. Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots will definitely lead to endless troubles. Today, we have made a big feud with the Akatsuki organization, so naturally we have to kill all the leading people.
Now that you have done it, you must do it!
Naturally, Hanzo would not be merciful at this time.
The dense kunai was like an airtight net, directly covering the 'bodies' of Nagato and Yahiko.
Ding ding ding ding!
However, Nagato just raised his hand slightly and saw that all the kunai seemed to have hit an invisible wall, making a series of crisp sounds and then falling to the ground.
"Is this... repulsion? Or space ability?" Bai Yu, who was approaching quickly, was stunned.
"Let me help you!" Bai Yu shouted, quickly coming to Yahiko's side.
At this time, Nagato glanced at Bai Yu, and his purple rippled eyes released a violent energy field, which was beyond Bai Yu's imagination.
"This pupil power is..."
Nagato noticed that Bai Yu was the mysterious person who had tipped off the news before, so he left Yahiko under the cliff and jumped up the cliff.
Upon seeing this, Hanzo quickly retreated, leaving Konan where he was.
Nagato had just hugged Konan, who was unconscious due to poisoning, when Hanzo slapped his right hand on the ground.
Fire Escape·Detonate the Flame Array!
The ground beneath Nagato's feet sank rapidly, turning into detonating talismans.
Nagato made a decision in an instant and picked up Konan, while the detonating talisman under his feet quickly climbed up his calf and covered his thigh.
boom!
Hundreds of detonating symbols exploded from zero distance, and with a huge explosion sound, the flames instantly swallowed the figures of Nagato and Konan.
However, the next second, the flames were suddenly bounced away.
It revealed Konan who was completely unscathed, and Nagato whose entire calf was blown to pieces with blood and even the bones exposed.
Having just awakened the heavenly ability of the Samsara Eye, Nagato is not yet familiar with the use of the repulsion ability of "Shinra Tensei", so he can only focus his repulsion power on the protection of Konan. The calf position is covered by a large number of detonating symbols, so the repulsion defense is destroyed Open, legs destroyed.
"Amazing boy, the last ninja who escaped from my fire escape was Jiraiya of the Sannin!" Hanzo walked slowly over, looked at Nagato and sighed. If the threat from the Akatsuki organization hadn't been too great, he would have Really willing to absorb them.
Nagato's eyes turned cold, and the purple rippled Rinnegan immediately released terrifying chakra fluctuations.
"Your eyes!" Hanzo was shocked. Even he was amazed by Nagato's burst of chakra at this moment.
"Psychic art: heretic demon!" Nagato roared.
boom!
The ground shook violently, and a huge humanoid creature burst out of the ground. Although only its upper body was exposed, it was dozens of meters tall, like a huge monster transformed from a tree.
From the neck of the outsider's neck, the Yin Yang Black Rod was protruded. A large number of sharp black rods penetrated into Nagato's body and began to absorb his chakra and life force.
"This is it!" Bai Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes. The huge humanoid creature in front of him actually made him feel connected by blood. This is definitely a fourth-level mythical creature!
But what is very strange is that this mythical creature seems to have only an empty shell, and its power has been weakened to the extreme. It only has the strength of a third-level creature, but the living fourth-level creature is just a legend in the wizarding world of the previous life.
At this time, in Bai Yu's perception, Nagato's vitality and chakra were weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and weak energy fluctuations began to appear in the body of the giant humanoid creature.
"Here's Golem! Why can Nagato summon the body of a fourth-level creature? Are his eyes the legendary reincarnation eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?!"
Immediately afterwards, a dragon-shaped creature composed of purple energy spurted out from the mouth of the heretic demon, and then swept across the entire cliff.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Screams came and went. Under Bai Yu's energy perception, he could clearly sense that the souls of these ninjas were absorbed by the purple energy waves in an instant.
The ability to ignore defense and directly attack the soul is really terrifying!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hanzo and Danzo quickly used the teleportation technique to escape.
Hundreds of ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village and a dozen root ninjas were all killed, with no one surviving.
"Huhu~huhu~" This move seemed to drain Nagato dry, and he lost a lot of weight.
At this time, Yahiko's body trembled violently under Bai Yu's treatment.
On the cliff in the distance, Obito was lamenting that Nagato could directly summon the body. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened.
