Chapter 91 Sun vs God (1/5)

Chapter 91 Sun vs God (15)

A few hours ago, the Hidden Rain Village.

The heavy rain controlled by the gods continued as usual, dripping down in this strange steel jungle.

The raindrops were like thousands of tentacles born from the clouds, sensitively covering every inch of land here, greedily sensing everything.

Unlike in the past, even in such bad weather, there were still people frequently jumping and interacting between the gullies of high-rise buildings.

Although compared to a large village like Konoha, the Hidden Rain Village still seemed a little too quiet and empty; but compared to the era of the Salamander Hanzo when residents did not dare to go out at all, this scene was like a dead tree coming back to life, which was a pleasant surprise.

Although there are still many inconveniences in living in this village (such as not being able to go out and keeping secrets), everyone can eat enough, look up at the sky freely, and occasionally say hello to the "angel" passing by in the sky, and no longer have to worry about being bullied or killed by ninjas at will...

Such days are so much better than in the past.

While the residents of Yuyin Village are enjoying their beautiful daily lives, the owner of a pair of lavender circle eyes is standing motionless at the highest point of the city, silently looking down at every figure below.

Tendo Pain's face, inlaid with a black short stick, is extremely stiff, more solemn than Konoha's Hokage Rock, as if nothing or anyone can make him have a trace of worry.

Although this is not what a living person should look like, it just satisfies some people's fantasy of "god".

But in fact, in the heart of Pain, who no one can see, he is somewhat complacent about his achievements over the past two months.

Two months ago, Hanzo, the powerful "Ninja Demigod", was defeated by him without a single blow.

Then, when recruiting talents for Akatsuki, Kakuzu, who had fought against the "God of Ninja", the first Hokage, and Orochimaru, one of the famous "Three Ninjas" - the "Cold Lord" Orochimaru, who was as famous as Jiraiya's master, were all powerless under the power of Shinra Tensei.

Therefore, at this moment, Pein, standing at the highest point in the center of the Ninja World, has unprecedented confidence in his own strength.

If he had doubts about Uchiha Madara's claim that he was the reincarnation of the "Six Paths Sage", then this solid record completely eliminated his slight uneasiness in calling himself a "God".

In other words, although Pein looks stiff now, he is actually very proud in his heart, and he thinks more and more that everything in the world should develop according to his plan.

No one can stop him from moving forward even one step. If there is, then destroy the other party!

Pein is now very sure that no one in this world can be his opponent.

And this power is the reason why he can call himself a god.

Little did he know that this was the idea that Uchiha Obito and Zetsu spent several years instilling in him.

In order to prevent Pein from questioning this, they are working hard to eliminate all Uchiha clan members with Mangekyō Sharingan to prevent him from being hit...

Speaking of which.

Just as Pein was overwhelmed and imagined the infinite brightness of his and Akatsuki's future, he looked up to the north as if someone patted his shoulder.

That was the reaction between the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique and the ninja's chakra -

He clearly felt that it was Konan who came back.

Two minutes later, a figure with white wings on his back and wearing a wide fire cloud robe flapped its wings in the sky, getting closer and closer to Pein's location.

The residents of the Rain Country along the way heard the sound of the wind above, and they all showed gratitude or worship. Some even clasped their hands and knelt down, chanting the name of "Angel" for blessings.

Their hard-won peace was the work of this angel and the God he represented.

"Pein."

This time, Konan seemed a little anxious. She didn't say hello to the people below, but flew straight to Pein without hesitation.

She looked tired, but more guilty. She lowered her eyes and said, "Sorry, I came back too late."

Then, before Pein could reply, she added as usual, "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes, make some food and go to your place. Okay?"

This "you" naturally refers to Pein's manipulator, that is, Nagato himself who can't take care of himself.

That is a special individual who needs others to take care of him even when eating and defecating.

Thinking of Nagato's inconvenience, Konan felt even more ashamed.

This time she was gone for two days, and she didn't even leave a clone. This was the first time since Yahiko's death.

"No need."

Perhaps Konan's comforting tone reminded Pein of his "real situation", and the latter wanted to eliminate his weak part more urgently, so his answer was quite stiff.

In addition, the confidence that had just been brewing was punctured by Xiaonan's gentleness, which also made his answer a little angry: "I manipulate the human world to do these things. There is nothing wrong with you not being here."

As soon as the words came out, Pein regretted it a little, but it was too late to take it back.

After all, it sounded like "You are not as important as you think."

After hearing this, Xiaonan's eyebrows flashed a little panic.

This was not because she was worried that Nagato was dissatisfied with her, but she thought that her absence in the past two days made Nagato feel abandoned.

As the only person who knows the truth (besides "Madara"), Konan is very clear about one thing - that is, how strong Pein is, how sensitive Nagato is.

"Okay. Let's talk about what you have gained in the past two days."

Seeing that Konan's lips were slightly open and she wanted to say something, Pein quickly interrupted her first, trying to cover up the embarrassment between the two with business.

"Did you find the yellow-haired boy?"

He originally had a zombie face, so there was no flaw in this cover-up. Konan couldn't judge his true thoughts by his expression, so she could only answer his question.

"I didn't find him."

Konan shook her head, but she didn't show any disappointment.

Then she changed her tone: "But fortunately, I searched all over the Rain Country these two days, and finally found a village in the jungle between the Hidden Rain Village and the border of the Fire Country. There are about five or six hundred people in total."

"So many people?"

Pein had no expression on his face, but the increase in his tone still revealed his doubts.

For large settlements like this, the Hidden Rain Village is the first to move in. How can there be so many people stranded outside?

"But what does this have to do with the person we are looking for?"

"The village is mostly populated by children and the elderly, many of whom are disabled. There are no strong ninjas, and it is impossible for them to survive there alone. The village is guarded by several huge wild beasts, which they cannot subdue, so I became suspicious."

Konan landed on the rooftop and slowly analyzed the gains of his trip: "After contacting them, I learned that it turned out that the place was opened up by the young man we are looking for.

"His name is Rengoku Kyojuro. Since more than two years ago, he has placed the rescued people there and tamed the wild beasts to protect them. However, there were very few people rescued at that time, and everyone lived in a cave, so it was very hidden. Later, Rengoku Kyojuro rescued more and more people, and the number of people in the village increased, which is why it has reached its current scale. I carefully investigated and found that the people in this village usually collect berries in the rainforest for food and rarely go out. No wonder we have not found them. "

"That's it. "

Pain pondered for a while, then asked: "In that case, didn't you tell them that Hanzo of the Salamander was dead?

"The Hidden Rain Village has just recovered and is in need of population replenishment. They can move here. There is still a lot of food purchased by Kakuzu last time, so subsequent replenishment is not a problem."

"Well, about this."

Konan's face was slightly stiff, and he hesitated for two seconds before saying: "Those people are very wary of the Hidden Rain Village. I also told them about Hanzo of the Salamander and the food. Although they are somewhat tempted, they are still not very reassured. They said they want to discuss it before making a decision."

Sure enough, after these words came out, Pain stopped talking and was silent in the rain like a piece of cold iron.

This is the first time they have been politely declined or even refused to collect vagrants outside.

Pain didn't understand. He killed Hanzo of the Salamander, and the Hidden Rain Village had food and drink, and was protected by him. There were only benefits and no harm. Why would these people hesitate?

To be fair, for Pain, who now regards himself as a god, these people's "disobedience" is indeed a bit ungrateful.

He doesn't believe that this is the decision of those who are seeking survival. This is not reasonable.

[Could it be that those people also obeyed the orders of others? ]

Suddenly, he thought of the fact that he had invited Rengoku Kyojuro to join the Akatsuki organization and was rejected, and his tone became cold: "Could it be that Rengoku Kyojuro arranged them to do this?"

"It shouldn't be."

To Nagato's surprise, Konan answered very straightforwardly.

"According to the people in that village, this child named Rengoku Kyojuro appears every few days, but he doesn't stay for long.

"Every time he brings people here, he will leave after ensuring that the other party is out of danger. He always looks anxious, and no one knows when he will show up next time. Pain, although a little strange, I don't think he seems to be too involved in the lives of these people. In other words, he only wants to save people and has no interest in building his own village and power. He is very different from the rebels we cleared out.

"There are only a few people in the whole village who can extract chakra. This is the evidence."

But there are some things that she didn't say because she was worried that it would cause Pein's hostility.

That is, the people in that village are different from those in the Hidden Rain Village. Although their food is simple, the number of people is limited, and there is no clear leader or manager, until she appeared...

They all feel safe and generous, and their style of doing things is very different from that of the "narrow-minded Rain Country".

Although the Hidden Rain Village looks peaceful, this peace is a compromise under Pein's absolute power. There is still not much trust between people. It seems that for every extra person in the village, the remaining people will worry that they will not get enough food, and everyone is a potential competitor.

But in that village where even the food resources are very poor, it is full of human touch. No one will be given less food just because he is disabled. The better the physical condition, the more people like to take care of others.

This puzzled Xiaonan, but she only thought it was a special feature of small villages, so she didn't tell Pein.

On the other hand, the more Pain thought about it, the more he couldn't understand why Rengoku Kyojuro did these things.

It would be too unbelievable to simply save people's lives without any extended purpose.

This kind of behavior is outrageous in the ninja world where people = tools.

"It's better that you put it this way, he has no ambitions."

Payne couldn't come to a conclusion, so he could only say in a solemn tone: "I admire his potential very much, but if he stands in the way of the Rain Country and the Akatsuki organization, even if he is a strange flower that can save people's lives, It’s a strange weed, so I had to hoe it off.”

God's will should not be shaken or disobeyed. If he was rejected two or three times, what prestige would he have?

Moreover, what seemed to concern him was that in the Land of Rain, his title of "god" was the result of his and Konan's deliberate promotion, in order to overshadow Hanzo's "demigod".

But the other party's title of "Sun of Hometown" was spontaneously called by the people of the Country of Rain out of gratitude.

It should be noted that people do not have God, they just lose the weather vane that guides them.

But if there is no sun, it will be difficult to survive.

Although this title is just a metaphor, it is enough to explain some problems. This guy named Purgatory Anjuro is young, but he is a very influential person. If such a person takes the lead in opposing him, there will be a lot of trouble. After all, it is difficult to win over people's hearts with force.

Suddenly, Pain absurdly understood why Sansho Hanzo wanted to eradicate the Akatsuki organization.

And this young man who has not really met yet is standing in their position back then...

"Pen..."

Xiaonan frowned slightly.

In this case, Payne would not have said it two months ago.

In the past, people like Purgatory Anjuro were only befriended and protected.

But now, Payne is a little different, and he can't see anyone who disobeys him.

When he said those words just now, he was filled with murderous intent, and it didn't look like he was just talking.

Xiaonan didn't know whether this change was good or bad, so she could only make a break to ease the atmosphere.

"I will go to that village again in two days, and maybe I will see him. I will have a good talk with him and explain our philosophy clearly. After all, he is still very young, so we have to be a little patient."

"I know, that's it-"

"Penn?"

Seeing that he suddenly became silent after finishing his words, Konan thought there was something wrong with Nagato's body and kept asking, "What happened?"

"..."

Payne first looked towards the entrance of Yuyin Village, then looked back at Xiaonan, and said in a strange tone: "You don't need to go, he came by himself."

"What?" Xiaonan was stunned for two seconds, and then asked for confirmation: "Purgatory Anjuro?"

"Well, his chakra is very special. I can't remember it wrong."

Payne pondered for a while, feeling even more surprised when he sensed the news from Yuhu's Free Technique.

"The amount of chakra he has is more than three times that of the last time we met. He should be his true form. It seems... he is planning to join us."

Nagato, who was deep in the rain, smiled and felt that he had guessed well.

The other party had experienced the power of the beast way last time. Considering the thinking of a ninja, if he was hostile, he would never take risks himself.

Since the main body has come, it should be with a quite friendly attitude.

Suddenly, the dignity of the god that had been hurt before seemed to be satisfied all of a sudden, and Payne felt much better.

Seeing the tail of Payne's robe fluttering, as if he wanted to take action personally, Xiaonan spread his wings and flew into the sky first.

"Kakuzu and Xia are not here, I will go receive him."

"Hmm." Pain nodded, feeling that this boy was a little different from Orochimaru and Kakuzu, so it would be too much to make a fuss about it in person.

"I will wait for you in Akatsuki's lobby."

"Okay." Xiaonan turned around and flew towards the entrance of the village. The moment he turned around, his face became solemn.

[I hope I really come to join Xiao, otherwise...]

[Nagato can hardly accept being rejected anymore...]

At the same time, the gate of Yuyin Village.

Under the gazes of the gatekeeper ninjas as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, Purgatory Anjuro took off his hat, revealing the golden-red hair that was rumored in the Land of Rain. It was like a solid bright flame that dispersed the surrounding water mist.

"My name is Purgatory Anjuro! I came here this time to meet your leader! Please don't worry, I don't have any hostility!"

He gathered his bamboo hat behind his back and smiled brightly that could keep everyone warm in the pouring rain.

Then, he stretched out his hand to a boy among the gatekeeper ninjas and said hello.

"Anjiro, long time no see!

"Shedding tears is not the etiquette that old friends should have when meeting each other!

"So, let's have a laugh! What do you think?"

My writing technique is still recovering, so I reluctantly read it first, and will change it later...

Because there are many miscellaneous things, I won’t update every day, but if there are no updates for more than two days, I will notify you in advance. I just want to finish writing this paragraph. It may be more enjoyable for you to save a dozen or twenty chapters and read them together.
