The entire ninja world is in a state of ruin, and the wealthy ninja countries don't have to pay too much attention to revitalizing the ninja villages.
However, some poor Ninja nations were basically on the verge of bankruptcy after experiencing this natural disaster.
a.
The land of rain.
Tower.
In a dark room.
Xiaonan slowly walked into the room. She placed two pieces of food in front of Bai Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, and on the table of Nagato's machine chair.
before leaving.
She couldn't help but look at Bai Yu, and sighed in her heart. For the past week, this young man has been sitting patiently like this, like a painstaking monk. This concentration is really admirable.
As expected of someone with such status and strength at such a young age.
What Xiaonan didn't know was.
Along the way, Bai Yu has seen that all his efforts have paid off, and he is lucky enough.
Walk out of the room.
Xiao Nan narrowed her eyes and looked up towards the dark corridor. Her eyes, which seemed to contain starlight, reflected the hunched figures at the end.
This figure was like a hunched reptile lying on the ground.
This is the Red Sand Scorpion who came to the Akatsuki organization headquarters to see if there are any tasks in the organization.
swish swish——
A subtle whistling sound came out.
Xie controlled Fei Liuhu and slowly crawled towards Xiaonan on the opposite side. He always felt that the tower looked a bit depressed today.
Even though this place is deserted on weekdays, it gives Scorpio another atmosphere of upward development.
Without thinking much, he moved on.
Xie's research on the puppet project is extremely expensive, otherwise he would not often fight against one country alone.
The purpose of fighting for a country.
Just to collect a lot of money.
Just this time.
The environment is not good.
The economic systems of many small countries in the entire ninja world have collapsed. Scorpio is not stupid enough to think of plundering a big country like Uchiha, so he can only come to the Akatsuki organization to see if there are any money-making tasks that he can take on.
Mainly because Scorpion's puppet project has made new breakthroughs and needs to purchase some special equipment and metals from major ninja villages. If it weren't for the fact that he had no choice, he wouldn't want to come to the Akatsuki organization recently.
Both ends of the corridor.
The two looked at each other.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Don't wait for Scorpio to speak.
Xiaonan regained her cool posture, looked at the approaching Crimson Sand Scorpion, and said coldly:
"The Akatsuki organization has been disbanded!"
Xie froze on the spot, Fei Liuhu's eyes showed confusion, and he quickly asked:
"Disbanded?"
Such a big Akatsuki organization.
Was it just disbanded?
Xiaonan nodded and said:
"Yes, it's disbanded."
Finished.
She thought about it seriously, if she just let Xia leave, this guy might be recruited by Fake Madara and Zetsu who were on the run.
In order to recruit Scorpion personally.
Xiaonan put a lot of thought into it, and naturally she didn't want to give such a strong combat power point to the other party in vain.
Thoughts abound.
Xiaonan continued to speak:
"Due to differences in concepts, we eliminated the mysterious masked man and Zetsu. If you are still willing to continue to cooperate with me and Payne, then wait here for a while and I will go and tell Payne."
Xie was startled.
Masked man and Zetsu were eliminated?
Disagreement with ideas?
This didn't have any impact on him, but it had a huge impact on the Akatsuki organization.
Without those two guys, there is really no difference between the Akatsuki organization and its disbandment.
"Go tell Payne!"
Xie spoke in a deep voice.
If he were asked to choose between the mysterious masked man and Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization would naturally be more reliable.
one way or another.
Payne once took them to eat meat and drink soup. As for the masked man, he was too mysterious and people always felt that he could not be trusted.
Konan then turned around and returned to the dark room again, looking up at Nagato who was sitting on the machine chair.
Not to mention the top of the tower.
As long as Nagato wants to.
He can monitor everything that happens in the entire tower with just a thought.
So Scorpion just arrived.
He heard and saw the conversation between Konan and Nagato.
However, Nagato was eating and sensed Xiaonan's gaze. He put down the tableware in his hand, picked up the napkin beside the machine chair and wiped the corners of his mouth. He looked at Bai Yu opposite and said in a deep voice:
"What do you think?"
Bai Yu smiled, quickly put down the bowl in his hand, and replied: "Just like Xiaonan has thought about it, we can't give up such a strong combat point, let him continue to cooperate with you!"
He was also afraid that Xia would be fooled away by Obito and Zetsu.
Apart from being obsessed with puppets, Scorpion doesn't have much interest in other things.
Who can bring him benefit.
Who will he turn to?
Bai Yu had thought about it long ago, using his experience in puppetry to poach Scorpion.
Now, we just have this opportunity.
Nagato said:
"Then do as you say."
Xiaonan nodded slightly.
She immediately walked out of the room, and took another look at Bai Yu before leaving. She saw that the young man looked comfortable and content while eating, and seemed to be very satisfied with her craftsmanship.
When I first started practicing with Jiraiya.
Most of the meals for the family in the Frog House were carefully prepared by Xiao Nan. It was also the best time she had spent in her life so far.
From now on, even if they could meet Teacher Jiraiya again, the three disciples would no longer be able to share food with him.
Walk out of the room.
Xiao Nan said to the Red Sand Scorpion who was waiting quietly: "Go in!"
Xie didn't hesitate, dragging Fei Liuhu's Fire Cloud Robe like an insect squirming, into the dark room.
Katsa——
Xie gently closed the door and passed by the hall with six coffins. He looked at Bai Yu in surprise who was sitting cross-legged on the floor eating. The other person raised his head and looked at him with a smile.
scorpion:"……"
This guy!
Xie sneered in his heart, quickly came to Nagato, and looked at Nagato carefully.
Although he has never seen the true form of Tiandao Payne, Scorpio will never forget the aura of those reincarnation eyes in his life.
Xie nodded slightly to Nagato and said in a deep voice:
"leader!"
Nagato said casually: "Sit down!"
scorpion:"……"
He was in the Fei Liu Hu state, and it made no difference whether he was sitting or not.
Compared to this.
Xie was more interested in why Bai Yu appeared here.
Nagato pondered for a moment, and then modified his explanation of how the Akatsuki organization kicked out the mysterious masked person and Zetsu.
Of course he will not tell the core things to Scorpion. He will only tell part of the truth, and Scorpio will definitely understand.
After hearing this, Xie didn't say anything about it. As long as he could still make money by staying in the Xiao organization, it didn't matter who came or left.
As Nagato finished talking about Akatsuki's organizational changes.
Scorpion expressed his approval and was willing to continue to follow the footsteps of the Akatsuki organization.
Nagato was quite pleased with this.
moment.
The two fell into silence.
Bai Yu continued to cook.
Scorpion sniffed the aroma of the food and muttered:
"I recently wanted to purchase a batch of equipment, but my funds are limited. Chief, you can borrow some..."
Nagato narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said: "Okay, you can go find Konan."
Nagato knew that without even thinking about it.
Xie wanted to ask him what he wanted to borrow.
Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief.
This can be regarded as the price the Akatsuki organization paid to keep him, and both Xia and Nagato knew it well.
Nothing happened.
Xie was about to leave, but after glancing at Bai Yu, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at Nagato again and asked:
"Chief, what happened last night?"
Scorpion woke up early this morning and found himself waking up on the basement floor. Referring to the surrounding environment, he had obviously been suspended last night.
It was truly terrifying to be able to make him fall into a coma without even realizing it, and to suspend the extremely heavy Fei Liuhu.
Fortunately, his puppets were not damaged much, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, but after going out, he found that almost all areas, including the Kingdom of Rain, had been invaded by dead trees. He knew that the ninja world...last night, Something terrible happened!
When Nagato saw Xie and asked him about this matter, he looked at Bai Yu again. After Bai Yu nodded in agreement while he was eating, Nagato immediately told Xie briefly about what happened last night.
Xie was very confused that Nagato wanted to ask Bai Yu for his opinion, but it was inconvenient to ask.
After listening to Nagato’s patient explanation.
Scorpion fell silent again.
The ninja world actually contains such terrifying monsters, and they come from outside the world!
Xie secretly sighed in his heart.
It may be the right choice for me to still follow Payne. When facing that kind of terrifying monster, only the reincarnation eye can resist it.
There was no stopping.
With plans for the future, Xie found Xiao Nan on the top of the tower who was arranging other things for the rain ninja.
"Borrow money!" Xie added without any nonsense, "The leader agreed."
Xiaonan did not pause, and brought Xie to the warehouse, where the two had a brief exchange.
Xiaonan counted out the amount the other party wanted to borrow, handed two metal boxes full of banknotes to Xie Hou, and she added:
"Write an IOU!"
scorpion:"……"
However, he didn't have any ink marks, so he still made a patch according to Xiaonan's request.
"Ha... the food you cook is so delicious. It's a pity that I am already a puppet. Otherwise, I really want to taste it myself."
Xie was teasing Xiao Nan while handing the IOU to him.
Xiaonan borrowed the IOU and after confirming the details above, turned around and left without saying anything more.
For Scorpio.
Money is enough.
As for when the money will be repaid, it doesn't matter. As a ninja, he might die soon, so he doesn't have to worry about repaying the debt at all.
Leave the tower.
Xie looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed in his heart. In the entire ninja world, perhaps only a few people including Bai Yu and the leader were awake last night.
If he doesn't make much progress in puppetry, it will be a question whether he can protect himself in future battles.
Xie thought, and then hung the two metal boxes on Fei Liuhu's sword-edged scorpion tail, letting it hang above his head, like a scorpion carrying food with its poisonous tail.
Scorpio finds this very interesting.
Take a few steps.
The stooped Scorpion walked into the dark and damp alley between tall towers.
And at the entrance of the alley he was about to pass, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground. It was Zetsu whose upper body was indistinguishable from that of a pitcher plant.
Inside the amber.
The corners of the scorpion's mouth were slightly raised, and his sword-edged scorpion tail lowered the suspended metal box much, grabbing it tightly.
Hei Jue glanced at the metal box that Xie was guarding, and then analyzed the route that Xie might have taken just now.
It didn't say any words and silently burrowed into the ground again.
Black Zetsu came here to poach the Red Sand Scorpion. Now it seems that the Scorpion who has received the benefits from Nagato will most likely not get close to them.
Xia saw that the other party was very knowledgeable, so he had no intention of telling Nagato about Ze's appearance.
After all, they were still colleagues not long ago.
…
On the edge of the Kingdom of Rain, there is a certain area that cannot be covered by Rain Tiger's magic.
Black Zetsu told Obito the analysis.
Under the tiger-striped mask, Obito's expression became extremely gloomy, he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Another step too slow!"
Hei Jue sighed helplessly:
"Since there is no way to convince Scorpion, and we have lost the Heretic Golem, Nagato, the Rinnegan, and the Akatsuki Organization, we can only try to wake up Madara in advance and let him solve these things."
Obito loosened his clenched fists, and the air in his heart seemed to be released directly. He said feebly: "What can you do?"
Except for the natural technique of reincarnation.
Obito has rarely been exposed to other techniques that can awaken Madara, and all his previous plans were centered around the reincarnation technique.
"Of course!" Black Zetsu sneered: "When I was escaping from the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru traded a forbidden technique with him."
Obito's expression was startled, and then he sighed in his heart: "Ha... no wonder Orochimaru was able to escape from Pain smoothly. It turned out that you helped him secretly!"
Black Jue laughed happily and said: "If it hadn't been like that, we would have been like bereaved dogs after losing Nagato!"
"Tell me your plan!"
Obito said solemnly.
The corners of Hei Jue's mouth turned up slightly and he replied:
"We have to dig out Madara first and borrow something from him. Of course, the Madara awakened through this method will not be unable to reach its peak strength, but it will still be enough to deal with Pain and Bai Yu."
Obito: "..."
Digging spotted grave.
If this was said when Madara was alive, he and Black Zetsu might not even know how they died.
And now.
It seems that this method is feasible.
Obito nodded.
Anyway, he has tried his best over the years. Who would have thought that the ninja world, where everything developed according to their expectations, would kill Bai Yu, and now it has killed so many monsters.
The battle that night not long ago, the battle between the three Ten-Tails, was still vivid in my mind.
The two of them no longer hesitated, and took off the Akatsuki rings they wore on their hands one after another, throwing them casually on the ground. One of them escaped underground, and disappeared in a twisted space.
So far.
Obito and Black Zetsu completely broke away from the Akatsuki organization.
…
…
The land of rain.
Tower.
In the dark room, Bai Yu ate and drank enough, sat cross-legged to digest, and then lay down on the ground casually again, entering the spiritual world.
Keng——
In the white mist space, Yi Shi, who was in the white mist, had already lost the sharpness he had when he first entered this space.
Now he is like a twilight old man, looking lifeless and lifeless, sitting in the white mist, motionless.
In Bai Yu's eyes, a spiritual energy body that was originally no different from ordinary people has become a lot more transparent, and this transparent state is still growing.
With the current stance, even if Wei uses all his power, he cannot open the door to this space.
He knew it too.
After the energy in one's own body is completely absorbed by this space, the outcome will inevitably be death.
But Ishiki is now indeed in a desperate situation.
There is no way around it.
