Chapter 144 144. Nagato and the Country of Rain

At the Akatsuki organization meeting a few days later.

Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, announced two things. One was the failure of Itachi and Kisame's commissioned mission, and the other was the news that Orochimaru attacked Uchiha Itachi and has now defected from the organization.

Not many people care about the former, and it is just a small and barren country.

However, the news of Orochimaru's defection still aroused the attention of Akatsuki members and started a discussion.

After all, Orochimaru was the former Sannin of Konoha, and the target of his attack was Itachi Uchiha, who was also a traitor to Konoha. It is difficult not to think about it and wonder if Orochimaru coveted Itachi's Sharingan.

At this time, the newcomer A Fei reached out and spoke: "First, the operation to investigate Kirigakure failed, and now he is attacked by Orochimaru. The organization's recent failures are all related to Itachi. It's really strange..."

Hearing this, Itachi and Kisame glanced at Obito, and Obito quickly retracted his head: "I was wrong, two seniors. I didn't mean to tease the two seniors, but it was really weird."

Ignoring Obito, whose acting skills were outstanding, Payne said slowly: "Orochimaru betrayed the organization and should be punished. Who is willing to kill Orochimaru and uphold Akatsuki's rules?"

Xie stood up and said: "Leave Orochimaru to me. I have a grudge with him that has not yet been resolved."

Payne glanced at the members present, his expression became a little solemn, not because there were not many people willing to hunt down Orochimaru, but because there were too few members in the organization.

Especially after Orochimaru defected, the organization couldn't even gather five teams. How to collect tailed beasts in the future.

After the Xiao organization meeting.

Obito found Tiandao and Konan, and under the gaze of the latter, he mentioned the problem of insufficient members of the organization. As the executor of the Eye of the Moon plan, he was actually more concerned about the progress of Akatsuki's collection of tailed beasts than the two of them.

With the current combat power that Akatsuki has, it is okay to concentrate on dealing with one ninja village, but if there is one more, it will be powerless.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to pay attention to the recent defections in the five major ninja villages to see if they could find new rebel ninjas to fill the vacancies among Akatsuki members.

After Obito left, Pain and Konan looked at each other, their eyes full of disgust for Obito.

None of Obito's recent actions have been successful. Not only did he actively manipulate Cardo to provoke Uzushio Village, but his operation against Uzushio Village also failed, leaving Akatsuki to provoke Uzushio Village, its great enemy, for no reason.

After pondering for a moment, Konan asked Payne: "Nagato, what should we do next?"

After Payne spoke some words, he said: "You go and look for rebellious ninjas with the masked man to fill the vacant positions in the Akatsuki organization. I will take advantage of this time to go out and hunt down Orochimaru."

"Nagato, do you want to separate from me?"

"What's wrong, are you worried about the safety of the village? Don't worry, outside ninjas don't dare to set foot in Yuyin Village easily. This is the territory of 'demigods'. Nothing will happen if you leave for a while."

Xiaonan shook his head, stared at Payne and said, "I'm worried about you. Your legs and feet are inconvenient. What if the masked man takes the opportunity to attack you?"

Payne's face was expressionless, but his tone was much gentler:

"I'm the god of the Hidden Rain Village. No matter how powerful the masked man's Sharingan is, he can't be the opponent of the Rinnegan. And it's not that I can't get out of the wheelchair, it's just that my movement is a little inconvenient."

"Orochimaru betrayed the organization. If he is not punished, the rest will follow suit."

"Besides, no one except me can control the Samsara Eye, otherwise the masked man would have taken action long ago."

Konan sighed softly, but still agreed with Nagato's decision to go out. Although to him, Nagato was not an omnipotent god, but Nagato was still the one in the trio who needed protection.

…

After making the decision, Nagato summoned Pain's Six Paths on the spot, and under the leadership of Six Paths, left the Rain Hidden Village.

Walking on the muddy road of the Land of Rain, Nagato felt a little lost as he looked at the steel forest-like Rain Hidden Village in the distance.

After regaining Orochimaru, this was the first time he left the Kingdom of Rain, and his purpose was to punish Orochimaru, a traitor.

The Country of Rain was the place where he was born and raised, and where his parents and comrades died. It was more like his hometown than the Overseas Country of Whirlpool, and the continuous rain also made him feel at ease.

Soon, Nagato arrived at a village in the Land of Rain.

After stopping for a while, the villagers discovered Nagato, who had difficulty with his legs and feet. They quickly invited Nagato to sit at home and invited Nagato to stay overnight and wait until the rain subsided tomorrow before sending him to the town.

Although Nagato tried his best to refuse, he still accepted the kindness of the villagers and felt a little emotional in his heart.

When he, Yahiko, and Xiaonan were wandering, they had always made a living by stealing things. After being often scolded by the villagers, he often cursed these people in his heart.

But when I grew up, I realized that these villagers were acquiescing to the theft behavior of these orphans.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a few malnourished brats to steal things from adults.

Later, he reciprocated the favor and killed Hanzo, the Sanshouyu who ruled the Country of Rain brutally, giving the residents of the Country of Rain a relatively stable environment and the peace they dreamed of...

At this time, the villagers brought mushroom soup and bread to Nagato.

While eating bread, Nagato asked about the situation of the villagers, such as how they were doing recently, whether there were any harassment by stray ninjas, and other topics. Under Painchu's rule, stray ninjas were not allowed to attack villagers.

The villager shook his head: "Thanks to the gods, we have not been attacked by wandering ninjas in recent years, and we have enough to eat, but..."

Nagato noticed that the villagers were hesitant to speak, and immediately asked: "Are there any other difficulties?"

After looking around, the villager said cautiously: "Compared with before, things are pretty good, but taxes have also increased, and the village is also a little dissatisfied with the lockdown order."

"Our Country of Rain is too barren. If we don't communicate with the outside world, we won't be able to buy what we want."

Nagato frowned: "It's good to be able to eat well. The lockdown order is also for the safety of the people. Do you want to return to the war of the past?"

"That's what I say, but people always want to pursue a better life. Although life safety is guaranteed now, it is too depressing. When I met you before, some people still suspected whether you were a spy for the enemy country."

The villagers expressed their inner thoughts, but remained silent on some phenomena.

Nagato fell into silence. He originally wanted to leave the Country of Rain to hunt down Orochimaru on a whim, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he left the Hidden Rain Village.

But he had no idea how to change it, and he didn't know how to change it.

Although he has the power of a god, he has only received three years of education from Mr. Jiraiya. Whether it is personnel management or other aspects, he is not as good as the Rain Country.

With a slight sigh, Nagato left this small village after eating.

The people's livelihood issues in the Rain Country should be solved after Xiaonan comes back. She has managed Yuyin Village quite well in these years, and she will definitely be able to solve the problems faced by the villagers.

As for the god Payne, all he needs to do is ensure peace.

Whether it is peace in the Land of Rain or peace in the entire shinobi world, peace is always better than war.

…

Wandering around the Land of Fire, Orochimaru recruited new subordinates and looked for suitable small countries to build a village.

He does not have high requirements for the country. Firstly, there is no Shinobu Village in the local area. Secondly, the transportation environment is convenient. It would be better if it can be inconspicuous. After all, if Akatsuki and Konoha find out, it will be a big trouble.

In the end, Orochimaru selected two small countries suitable for establishing ninja villages, the Kingdom of Tian and the Kingdom of Waves.

The Country of Fields is located in the north of the Country of Fire, neighboring the Country of Grass and the Country of Earth, and it also meets the conditions of convenient transportation and being inconspicuous. The only trouble is that there is already a small shinobi village with dozens of people above it.

Such a small shinobi village is easy to deal with, but it will cause trouble in negotiating with the daimyo later.

The country of Waves is even simpler. This is a country without shinobi villages. Even the famous names are ignored. The entire country is affiliated with Cardo Shipping Company. As long as Cardo is eliminated, it can be directly included in the pocket. .

But the country of Waves has always been paid attention to by Konoha, and Danzo has also expressed his thoughts. It will be very troublesome to eat it by force.

Although Danzo has been cooperating with him, once his position is known to Danzo, the other party will deal with him mercilessly to prove his position.

It will also become very troublesome after being targeted by Jiraiya and the old man.

At this moment, Orochimaru heard a piece of information on the black market and suddenly became interested in the country of waves.

The news above is very simple. The country of Waves has actually been occupied by Uzushio Village.
