Chapter 739: The Unyielding Rock Hidden
"ah!!!"
In the forest, the last Iwagakure ANBU ninja suddenly covered his chest and closed his eyes in pain.
In an instant, a sharp pain like a knife cutting surged into my heart like a tide.
It was like a sharp blade piercing his chest. He roared involuntarily, and a stream of bright red blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Is this guy... a core member of Akatsuki? We finally found them..."
With a lot of questions in his mind and unwilling to give up his obsession, the man collapsed to the ground powerlessly, trembling a few times and then there was no movement.
"The Iwagakure ANBU? Have they chased us to the Rain Country?"
It was Itachi who stepped out from behind the bushes.
"Well," Kisame nodded, "Judging from their determination, this doesn't seem to be the last batch."
"Oh, what's the point of chasing after him? The tailed beast has been extracted from the Jinchūriki's body, and even the corpse has been taken by Orochimaru as material..."
"Maybe... it's for peace of mind..."
......
Surrounded by steep cliffs and dense woods, it presents a quiet and unique beauty.
However, behind this peaceful land.
Bakutun Hunter led an elite team of Bakutun ninjas and stepped into the mysterious land of the Rain Country.
They were wearing black ninja uniforms and black raincoats, holding sharp weapons and moving forward with determined eyes.
When they passed through the huge cave in the valley, the scene that came into view shocked everyone.
The once prosperous village has now become a ruin, with collapsed houses and mud everywhere, as if the whole world has fallen into chaos. Twisted and deformed corpses are scattered in the mud, as if telling of their pain and despair in life.
A strong anger and sadness surged in Shou's heart. He knew that all this was caused by the disaster of war.
His eyes swept over the rotten corpses and he prayed silently in his heart, hoping to find a clue that would lead to the Akatsuki organization.
Suddenly, Shou discovered something unusual.
Among the pile of corpses, there was a corpse whose head seemed to have been smashed by something. He walked forward and looked at the broken head carefully, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
Perhaps, by studying this skull, they can find traces of Akatsuki members.
Therefore, Shou immediately ordered the ninjas of the Land of Earth to collect all the materials and preserve them properly.
"Oh my, today is such a rare nice day!"
Shou walked through the passage and entered the Hidden Rain Village. He looked up and saw that the sky above his head was gradually becoming brighter, and he couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.
It turns out that it is possible for the Rain Country not to rain?
Huo Guang said from the side.
"But it's good this way. Finally, I don't have to endure the wet rain anymore."
They don't particularly like rainy weather.
Moreover, in this country, rain symbolizes sadness and death, and often brings all kinds of misfortunes.
Following the motto of life, Huoguang always believed that he was an optimistic person, which was really incompatible with this kind of weather.
"Captain Hunting, is this where we can rest temporarily?"
The firelight that followed closely behind asked curiously.
"Well... strictly speaking, it's true. We have to be careful about everything here." Shou gave a vague answer.
Huo Guang could only sigh helplessly, feeling that the responsibility he shouldered was heavy and long, and he had no idea where his own Jinchūriki would be in the Land of Rain.
After a short rest, the group set off again, carefully and cautiously.
Walking along the secret passage into the central tower of the Hidden Rain Village, perhaps because it has been shrouded in rainy weather for a long time, even though the sky has cleared today, the air in the tower is still filled with a strong and moist smell.
Although they have been in the Rain Country for quite some time, the hunters and blast-tun ninjas still feel a little uncomfortable.
......
"Itachi, Kisame, the speed at which you returned this time exceeded my expectations. What happened?"
In the living room on the top floor of the tower, Pain welcomed the Itachi team who had just returned.
The living room is quite large and seems particularly spacious, with sunlight pouring into the room through the windows.
If it is the rainy season, you can discuss business here while enjoying the rain view.
Kisame and Itachi walked over to the sofa and sat down without any hesitation.
"We encountered several groups of Iwagakure ANBU."
Kisame scratched his head and looked helpless.
"We have been working hard day and night, and finally got a new clue - many of our missing peripheral members were killed by the Explosion Ninja of Iwagakure."
After a long and patient process of sorting out and reviewing numerous complex memories, the two men discovered a clue to the murderer.
With the help of the limited clues that remained, they successfully portrayed the murderer's appearance and the characteristics of his ninjutsu.
"Explosive Release?"
Nagato frowned, obviously having never heard of this person.
"So, what about the bloodline limit ability he possesses?"
"According to our analysis, he is able to control soil explosions. This bloodline escape technique has both strong and gentle characteristics. Compared to pure earth escape, it is more fluid;
Compared to pure water escape, it seems to be a perfect fusion of the advantages of water escape and earth escape, forming a new kind of power."
Kisame gave it a very high evaluation.
"Please inform others about this and ask them to investigate these Explosion Ninjas. Since he has set his sights on us, it is very likely that he has more than just these people now."
"Yes."
……
The atmosphere in the hospital was tense and serious.
Beiliuhu, who was lying on the operating table, had tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had just experienced a thrilling battle.
His face looked extremely pale and he bit his lips tightly, as if he was enduring great pain.
His lost right arm has now been successfully reattached by doctors and the wound has been carefully bandaged.
However, even though the bandage was soaked with blood, it still couldn't hide the scarlet color inside, and a small part of the bandage had been dyed bright red.
Standing next to the operating table was Orochimaru.
The basin of clear water next to it had already been stained red with blood, and mixed with the smell of disinfectant, forming an indescribable pungent smell.
"Alright, you better take good care of this arm and right leg. If it happens again, it won't be as simple as a surgery. You don't even know how to cherish your new body!
According to your physical condition, you should be able to recover in half a month." Orochimaru took a deep breath and said impatiently.
As soon as he returned from the laboratory, he immediately started to perform surgery on Bei Liuhu. Although this task was not difficult, the process was very tedious and consumed a lot of his energy.
"Thank you very much, Orochimaru-kun..." Obiru smiled weakly.
"If you really want to express your gratitude, then in the next period of time, please be sure to keep quiet, take good care of your body, and don't go out again," Orochimaru reminded.
His injuries haven't healed yet, yet he wants to go out and fight with Iwagakure's explosive troop. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
But Obito didn't follow the doctor's advice, so Orochimaru became impatient and had to repeatedly emphasize that he should try to avoid strenuous activities during this period, even including training.
Lying on the operating table, Beiluohu stared at the light hanging from the ceiling in the operating room, as if he had fallen into silence.
