Chapter 218 Passing through the Rain Country
The Rain Kingdom is sandwiched between the Grass Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.
Originally, Haneda wanted to take a detour, but then he remembered the promise he had made and headed towards the Rain Country.
The terrain of the Rain Country is a basin. When you reach the mountains on the border, the sky on both sides of the mountains is clearly divided.
The Grass Kingdom had blue sky and white clouds, while the Rain Kingdom was gloomy and heavy rain was falling.
Karin exclaimed:
"What a magical country! Is this the Rain Country? A country where it rains all the time."
"Yes, it's a magical place, but it's called the country of eternal weeping."
Ye Cang returned to his old place and sighed.
During the Third Shinobi World War, she was still serving as the deputy commander here and was a hero of Sunagakure.
I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by the village now.
"Let's go."
Haneda distributed raincoats to everyone and then went down the mountain.
He was heading towards a place with a purpose.
That was the place where Haneda and Yahiko had agreed to meet.
As time passed, Haneda and his group were getting closer and closer to their destination, but a large river heading east to the Land of Fire blocked their way.
"Do we need to cross the river? Just like before, traveling in the Rain Country is troublesome."
Ye Cang looked at the river.
Deidara took out a ball of clay and chewed it with his palm and mouth, and it turned into a giant bird.
"Come on up together, it's faster to fly over, huh!"
Deidara stood on the giant bird and waved to Haneda and the others.
But after a long time, Haneda and the others did not respond, and Deidara followed Haneda's gaze.
A bridge crosses the river, and connecting the bridge is a flat and clean road.
“They still remember.”
Haneda suddenly smiled.
Bai and Kimimaro looked at Haneda in confusion.
Who are they referring to?
A friend of Mr. Haneda?
At this time, Deidara saw that no one came up, but instead walked towards the bridge, and couldn't help but say:
"Hey, hey, hey! It's better to travel with a mount than without one, right? Yeah!"
"Xiao Di, please sit down first. I'll go and take a look at that road."
Haneda waved and walked towards the bridge.
And Bai, Kimimaro and the others followed without hesitation.
Only Deidara was left standing on the giant bird, hovering in place.
“Hehe! What’s so good about this bridge… Hehe, let this bridge see my art! Hmm!”
Suddenly, Haneda's faint voice came from the front.
"Don't blow up the bridge, Xiaodi."
"I understand, Brother Haneda!" Deidara couldn't beat Haneda, so he had no choice but to agree.
He rode the giant bird and flew towards the bridge.
Noticing Haneda's emotional look, Deidara asked loudly:
"Brother Haneda, does this bridge have any special meaning to you?"
The merchants from the Grass Country and the Fire Country who were passing on the bridge looked at Deidara strangely and even quickened their pace.
Haneda looked at the bridge and the caravan in the distance, recalling his past proposal to Yahiko and the others.
“A lot has changed here, too.”
Haneda walked towards the cement road that followed the river.
According to my previous memories, I could follow the river to reach Yahiko and their secret base.
Deidara rode the big bird to catch up with Haneda.
He looked back at the bridge, reluctant to leave.
"I really want to blow up this bridge... let the world marvel at my art, huh!"
…………
Eight pairs of invisible eyes are watching here in the dark.
Those are Pain's Six Paths, Konan and Nagato.
At this time, Xiaonan no longer had the smile on her face that she used to have.
She is dignified and majestic, like an angel.
Nagato was skinny and sat behind Tendo Pain.
"He's already here, do we need to go see him?"
Konan asked as she watched Haneda heading towards the secret base.
Tendo Pain did not speak, and Nagato was also silent.
After a long time, Nagato said:
"No need. After all, he and I do not belong to the same organization. We have different interests and positions."
"He is a ninja of Konoha after all."
Konan bit her lip and said, "Nagato, Yahiko's promise..."
Nagato interrupted Konan:
"I will inherit Yahiko's will and create permanent peace."
"But I am not Yahiko after all. I cannot represent him."
Inside the cave, Nagato and Konan fell silent.
Suddenly, Nagato spoke again:
"What are you here for?"
Da da da……
A man wearing a mask and a red cloud cloak approached Nagato and Konan with the sound of footsteps.
The person who came was Obito, and he said in a deep voice:
"I have already found the organization members you need for you."
"Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, and Biwa Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist."
"Where is the person?" asked Tendou Pain.
"One is in Tian No Kuni, and the other I brought with me is just outside."
Obito looked at Nagato deeply and reminded him,
"Stop doing irrelevant things. No matter how many roads you build, you can't achieve peace."
"Such bridges and roads will only become targets of attack during wartime."
After saying that, a whirlpool appeared out of nowhere in Obito's eyes and he was ready to leave.
Xiaonan retorted:
"This is the road Haneda proposed to change the lives of the people of Rain Country. It is the road to peace!"
"It's up to you, as long as it doesn't affect our plan."
Obito moved his mask and disappeared from Nagato and Konan's sight.
…………
We followed the cement road along the river and came to an abandoned house.
Haneda looked at the dilapidated house, opened the door and walked in.
At first glance, there were large areas of charred black on the walls.
There was a big hole in the ceiling above my head, and the rain went through the hole and hit the floor, making a heavy sound.
It seems that this place has been blasted with a detonating talisman.
Bai asked curiously:
"Mr. Haneda, have you lived here?"
"Yeah." Haneda nodded and walked towards a wall covered with vines.
"Hey ha!" Deidara jumped off the big bird, passed through the big hole in the house, and landed on the ground.
He noticed the familiar and charming charred black on the wall and smiled:
"So this is the house where Brother Haneda lived. The fragrance of art is everywhere, huh!"
Kimimaro noticed that Haneda was holding a wooden sign with a white frog on it and seemed to be lost in memory.
He said to Deidara, "Can you be quiet!"
"No." Deidara turned his head away and refused directly.
Seeing this, if Kimimaro hadn't been worried about disturbing Mr. Haneda, he would have beaten Deidara up.
"Okay, Kimimaro, Xiaodi, this will liven up the atmosphere."
Haneda placed the frog sign back on top of the one with Yahiko's name on it.
He walked to the door and said to Kimimaro and the others:
"Let's go."
"So soon? Brother Haneda! Stay a little longer, take a picture, huh!"
Deidara had already seen that Brother Haneda was worried, so he tried to persuade him.
"No, I already know they don't want to see me."
Haneda opened the door and was about to go out.
Suddenly, he sensed the chakra of explosion and looked back.
A bunch of clay spiders were constantly spitting out from the mouth on Deidara's palm.
"What are you doing, Dee?"
"Blow this place up! Let's turn the place that made Brother Haneda sad into a fleeting beauty!"
"This way, Brother Haneda won't be sad anymore, huh!"
Hearing Xiaodi's explanation, Haneda's mouth twitched.
If Xiaodi really blows up this place, Nagato and Konan will never let him go...
Haneda flicked his fingers, and countless birds flew out and pierced the clay spider.
"Let's go. This place is very memorable."
