Chapter 594: The Immortal of Six Paths is real (5k monthly votes requested)

 Lao Zi was walking all the way south.

Although he was not familiar with the Land of Rain, his initial motivation was to come to see Soyousuke, and it was impossible for him not to investigate the location of the Ninja Sect.

However, Lao Zi slowed down because of his encounter in Baichuan Village.

He did not use the ninja's super-fast marching speed to rush to Liudou City in the southern part of the Land of Rain. Instead, he used Liudou City as the terminal station and moved forward slowly like a traveler on a slow-paced tour.

 This is a very novel experience for Lao Zi.

 In the past, he was either practicing or doing tasks, so he had no time to travel.

The most important thing is that people here won’t look at Lao Zi strangely. He will receive sincere gratitude when he helps the village drive away stray ninjas. In the town, he can eat in restaurants as he likes, and no one will care about him.

 Such a life may be daily life for ordinary people, but for Lao Zi, this is a goal that he did not achieve when he left Yanyin Village.

 Lao Zi really feels that his current life can be called happiness.

Even if he has been spending the night in the wild so as not to disturb the residents of villages and towns, even if he cannot show his true identity to avoid Iwagakure's pursuit.

“Identity is a good thing.” Lao Zi put down his chopsticks after finishing lunch and sighed in his heart.

 He is a person with the ability to think. After thinking carefully, he thought of the reason.

 In the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain, he is just an unknown ninja with no other special status, so he can be appreciated normally and enjoy the life of an ordinary person normally.

 In the Iwagakure Village of the Earth Country, he is a jinchuriki, and the tailed beast that symbolizes evil and destruction is in his body.

If the people of Shirakawa Village knew that he was a Jinchuuriki, would they still thank him sincerely and invite him to their homes?

 Lao Zi doesn’t know, he’s not sure.

“Don’t think too much, just live happily now.” Siwei said with a heroic laugh.

"You didn't become a jinchūriki of your own free will. If you want to blame, it's those who use us tailed beasts as weapons."

 Speaking of this, Siwei couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

They tailed beasts do not fight or fight, they just live quietly in remote corners of the ninja world. They have never taken the initiative to provoke the ninjas. They were captured by the ninjas for no apparent reason and sealed into the jinchūriki.

　　Not to mention that the jinchūriki are not voluntary, nor are the tailed beasts.

 Lao Zi nodded, stood up and went to pay the bill.

He just sighed a little, and his life now is much better than in Iwagakure anyway.

Just the freedom alone is beyond compare in Iwagakure 100 Streets.

After walking out of the hotel, Lao Zi glanced at the street casually and noticed several ninjas dressed as Iwagakure. He didn't pay attention and continued walking southward calmly.

Ordinary Iwagakure ninjas cannot see through his transformation technique. As for the sensing ninjas, there are too few of them. Unless you are very unlucky, you should not be able to encounter them.

 Ōnoki could guess that Lao Zi would not take the initiative to reveal the jinchūriki's identity, and Lao Zi also knew that Ōnoki did not dare to send out Iwagakure ninjas to search.

After all, during the war, if there was a sudden big move in Iwagakure, other great ninja villages would definitely investigate. When the time comes, it would be discovered that the jinchūriki had escaped, and the consequences would not be what Onoki wanted to see.

 Three Iwagakure ninjas walked slowly on the street, carefully looking at every pedestrian on the street.

 Some people felt uncomfortable, but after seeing the forehead protector on the head of the Iwagakure ninja, they finally gave up.

Ordinary people can't afford to offend a ninja. This is a master among ninjas. Ninjas from the five great ninja villages can't be offended even more.

They also saw Lao Zi using the transformation technique, but Lao Zi acted no different from a passerby, so they ignored him.

 Occasionally, when I see some people acting suspiciously, I find a reason to come forward for questioning.

However, Lao Zi discovered a strange thing. The further south he went, the more Yanyin he encountered on the road, which made Lao Zi feel a little strange.

"Did they use some secret technique to lock my whereabouts?" Lao Zi wondered in his heart.

There are too many weird secret techniques and ninjutsu in the ninja world. Lao Zi is not sure if there is any secret technique with this effect in Iwagakure Village.

In the afternoon, since it was dinner time and Lao Zi didn’t have much dry food on him, he spent money to find a villager who was willing to help him eat at his house.

When he was about to move on, he suddenly saw a group of Iwagakure ninjas not far away confronting two red-haired teenagers. One of the red-haired teenagers was wearing a forehead protector from the Land of Rain.

Faced with the wandering ninjas who robbed villagers, Lao Zi would help without hesitation.

  But if it is an internal conflict between ninjas, under normal circumstances, Lao Zi has no interest in getting involved.

The ninja who can kill the innocent people and grab the property of the innocent people in the eyes of Lao Zi's eyes, **** and kill.

 There are many and complicated reasons for conflicts between ninjas. It may be due to the stance between villages, conflicting missions, or personal grudges.

 In this case, it is easy for him to do bad things with good intentions.

Moreover, ninjas and ninjas are equal beings, and Lao Zi is not a real messenger of justice. He has to mediate everything he encounters.

 Lao Zi wanted to change his way to avoid the conflict, but at this moment, Lao Zi remembered his experiences in the Land of Rain.

 Because he acted decisively and did not ask for reward, he helped two villages in total, and twice he was mistaken for a ninja from the Ninja Sect.

This made Lao Zi particularly interested in the Ninja Sect. He saw that the red-haired ninja didn't look like a ninja from the Rain Ninja Village, so he might be a ninja from the Ninja Sect.

 “Let’s go and listen to what they are talking about first.” Lao Zi thought to himself.

In order not to be discovered, Lao Zi found an uninhabited corner and used earth escape to sneak into the ground, quietly arriving near Nagato and the others.

"Your Iwagakure behavior has affected the lives of the people in the Land of Rain, and the Ninja Sect needs an explanation." Nagato said with a serious look on the Iwagakure ninjas in front of him.

Although Iwagakure's actions are not big, for the Ninja Sect who is working hard to create a peaceful and harmonious Rain Country, Iwagakure's behavior is particularly dazzling.

"Nagato, we have no comment. You are also a ninja, so you should understand us. Leaking the mission is an act of treason." The leader, Iwagakure Jonin, replied in a deep voice.

They are not the ninjas specially sent by Ohnoki to find Lao Zi in the Land of Rain, but the ninjas entrusted to be trained by the Ninja Sect.

Since they have been practicing in the Ninja Sect for some time, they are acquaintances with Nagato, so they did not use a threatening tone, but just pointed out their difficulties.

 The main reason is that even if there is a conflict, they cannot be defeated. Nagato is not a soft persimmon, but a powerful ninja who is known as the number one genius in the ninja world.

“You don’t need to give an immediate answer, you can convey the Ninja Sect’s message to Iwagakure Village.

 The Ninja Sect cooperates with Iwagakure Village to train ninjas, and you are one of them. You know the attitude of the Ninja Sect towards cooperation, and we, the Ninja Sect, do not want this matter to affect the relationship between the two parties. "Nagato continued.

 The senior officials of the Ninja Sect have discussed that if Iwagakure does not give a reasonable explanation and continues to disturb the stability of the Rain Country, then they will terminate their cooperation with Iwagakure.

Nagato agrees very much with this decision. The Ninja Sect has worked hard for the peace and stability of the Rain Country for so long. If the Ninja Sect is too timid to take care of it because it is one of the five major Ninja Villages, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

 Xiao Ninja Village originally didn’t dare to mess with the Rain Country. The reason why the Rain Country became like this is because the five major countries regarded the Rain Country as a battlefield.

If you tolerate Iwagakure's behavior now, you may tolerate Konoha in the future, and you may tolerate Sunagakure in the future. By then, there will be no peace and stability in the Land of Rain.

 “It turns out that the village still has such cooperation with the Ninja Sect.” Lao Zi, who was eavesdropping underground, was a little surprised.

It's no wonder that as he walked south, there were more and more Iwagakure ninjas.

 Lao Zi estimated that Ohnoki should have issued a mission to find him to these Iwagakure who had received Ninja training.

If Lao Zi were Ōnoki, he probably wouldn't let his subordinates train with peace of mind at this time. The impact of stopping training for a month would definitely not be as bad as losing the Jinchuuriki.

"I will report to the superiors." The leader Iwagakure Jonin replied.

 Now that it involves the Ninja Sect, it’s really hard for him not to report it.

On the one hand, the Ninja sect and Iwagakure have cooperation, and on the other hand, the Ninja sect's high-end combat power is not weak, and they cannot make waves in the Land of Rain.

 In fact, Iwagakure Jonin himself has a favorable impression of the Ninja Sect and hopes that Iwagakure Village can continue to cooperate with the Ninja Sect.

 Because the teaching quality of Ninja Sect is very high, he really feels that studying here can effectively improve his strength.

But the matters involved this time were too big, and Iwagakure Jōnin had no right to decide anything.

 After saying that, Iwagakure Jonin left with the other Iwagakure.

Lao Zi originally wanted to wait for Nagato and the others to leave and then get out of the ground directly, but Nagato didn’t know why he stood there for ten minutes without moving.

 “Come out, there’s no need to hide.” Nagato said calmly to the ground.

 Nagato has a strong sense of perception. He has long sensed that there is a powerful chakra nearby that he has never felt before.

When Lao Zi used Earth Escape to lurk towards him, Nagato was even more vigilant and ready to take action at any time.

If it weren't for Iwagakure's presence and Nagato's fear of an accident, he would have taken action long ago.

Lao Zi, who was about to use the earth to escape to other places, was a little surprised, "You found me, are you a sentient ninja?" Lao Zi thought for a moment, rushed out of the ground, and stood five meters away from Nagato.

Iwagakure has been away for ten minutes. With the ninja's pace, he has already run a long way, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, the purpose of coming to the Land of Rain is to meet Soyousuke. Since he wants to meet Soyousuke, it is inevitable to meet the Ninja ninja.

 Lao Zi looked at Nagato and Xie, and Nagato stared at Lao Zi with his samsara eyes.

With the blessing of the Samsara Eye, the disguise of Lao Zi's transformation technique was in vain, and Nagato suddenly saw Lao Zi's true appearance.

"What a powerful chakra, no, it seems different from ordinary chakra. Is this his chakra?" Nagato didn't know Lao Zi, but was shocked by the chakra in his body.

 This was the first time he had seen so much powerful chakra.

 Nagato took half a step forward, guarding the scorpion behind him.

  Scorpion is still in a sealed state, unable to use chakra and needs his protection.

Scorpion is very self-aware and quickly takes two steps back.

 From the beginning, he pulled him and refused to let him go, and now he made such an action. It was obvious that his opponent was not simple.

 “These eyes!” The four tails in Lao Zi’s body made a shocked sound.

 He actually saw the same eyes as Hagoromo's in this ninja named Nagato.

"What's wrong with his eyes? They seem to be different from ordinary people's eyes." Lao Zi asked in confusion.

 As for special eyes, he only knew about Konoha's Byakugan and Sharingan.

 “His eyes are exactly the same as those of the Sage of Six Paths.” Four Tails replied.

"Six Paths Immortal? Have you seen Six Paths Immortal? I thought it was just a myth." Lao Zi was a little surprised.

There are many legends about Rokudo Sage. One of the most famous legends is the Rokudo Sage’s Creation Legend. In this legend, the ninja world was created by Rokudo Sage.

 Compared to ordinary people, ninjas can be regarded as superhumans, but the power of ninjas is limited. With the terrifying destructive power of the tailed beast jade, it can only destroy a mountain at most.

Since creation is more difficult than destruction, he believes that the Immortal of Six Paths is just a fictional mythical figure.

"Of course not, I once lived with the Six Paths Sage for a while." Siwei shook his head and said.

 In the long life of the Four-Tails, the time spent with the Six Paths Sage was very short, but the memory was so beautiful that the Four-Tails still cannot remember it.

 For him, that memory was more important than the memory of living alone for hundreds or even thousands of years.

 Seeing the expression of the fourth tail that he had never seen before, Lao Zi discovered a problem. The fourth tail knew him very well, but he didn't know the fourth tail that well.

 This is a matter of course, because before that battle, he was not even willing to call the fourth tail's name.

“Who are you, what is the purpose of coming to the Land of Rain, and why do you want to eavesdrop on the conversation between me and the Iwagakure ninja.” Seeing that Lao Zi was silent, Nagato stared at Lao Zi and asked.

Although he has not yet fought against Lao Zi, Nagato knew that the opponent would not be a simple character just based on Lao Zi's chakra.

 Coupled with the fact that it was a war period, Nagato subconsciously connected Lao Zi with Iwagakure’s activities in the Rain Country.

"Could he be a strong man from a certain great ninja village, and those great ninja villages want to use the Land of Rain as a battlefield?" Nagato's expression became more serious.

 If things have developed to this point, it will be bad news for the Ninja Sect and the Rain Country.

Nagato’s words interrupted Lao Zi’s thoughts about the Four Tails. He thought for a while and said:

 “Are you Nagato? That Soyousuke’s disciple.”

 Lao Zi only knows three Ninja ninjas. Needless to say, the first one is the Ninja Master Soyousuke he wants to meet.

 The second one is Kakuzu, and the third one is Nagato.

Youth martial arts will make Nagato famous in the ninja world. Even if Lao Zi is not interested in this information, he has heard some news.

"I am."

 Nagato silently adjusted his breathing method to reach the peak of his condition.

“You don’t need to know my name, you just need to know that I have no ill intentions and that I came to the Land of Rain just to meet your teacher Soyousuke once.” Lao Zi chose to conceal his identity.

 According to what he saw along the way, the Ninja Sect is a very good ninja force.

However, this was not enough to make Lao Zi completely lower his guard. After all, he had just learned that Ninja Sect and Iwagakure were still cooperating.

If Iwagakure cooperates with the Ninja Sect to catch turtles in a urn, Lao Zi will feel uncomfortable.

 “You want to see Mr. Soyousuke?” Nagato looked at Lao Zi with suspicious eyes.

 He felt like the Great Ninja Village wanted to behead Mu Yue in order to dismantle the Ninja Sect.

"Yes, if Soyousuke is willing to meet, then let's meet. If he is not willing to meet, you should tell me earlier and I will go elsewhere." Lao Zi continued.

 He knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he made such a request without revealing his identity.

But Lao Zi has no choice. The risk would be too great if his identity is revealed.

"Since you don't want to say your name, you must at least explain which ninja village or which ninja force you are from." Nagato wanted to make a cliche.

 “I do not belong to any ninja force.” Lao Zi replied.

Nagato looked at Lao Zi, trying to guess whether Lao Zi's words were true or false based on Lao Zi's expression.

 "There's no way to judge..." Nagato sighed inwardly.

Unsurprisingly, he failed. He is not good at this.

"Whether you agree or refuse, as long as you decide, you can come to this village to find me." Lao Zi said.

 He planned to leave a shadow clone in this village for communication.

 Nagato nodded and finally left with Xie.

 Lao Zi has no intention of fighting, and it is impossible for Nagato to attack Lao Zi just based on his guess.

"Xiao, do you think he is lying?" Nagato looked at Xiao and asked.

 “Which answer scores higher?” Scorpio did not answer directly.

 “The right answer.”

 “That I don’t know.”

Nagato still has the experience of wandering with Yahiko after all. Yahiko has been alone together for a long time since his parents left, so he has no idea what is happening.

"Your teacher is so strong, just let him go. Maybe that person is an admirer of your teacher and will join your Ninja Sect after meeting him." Xie said casually.

Xie Ting hopes that Xuyou will intervene in the accident. Many sealing spells will lose their effect after the death of the caster.

If Soyousuke is assassinated, then Scorpion won't even have to wait a year to find an opportunity to get the puppet back and continue to take revenge.

"Although the teacher is powerful, the enemy may not choose to fight alone. He may send an elite team to surround and kill." Nagato shook his head. Too many strong men in the ninja world died in the siege.

The strength of a ninja is based on chakra. No matter how strong Muyue is, if the enemy is not killed before the chakra is used up, Muyue will be in danger.

 In the end, Nagato didn’t raise any opinions. He just returned to the Ninja Sect and told Mu Yue the information, leaving Mu Yue to make his own decision.

Mu Yue always encourages him to think more and take the initiative, but Nagato knows that his ability is not enough at the moment. He cannot affect Mu Yue's judgment on such important matters.

“Want to see me, powerful and massive chakra, Iwagakure’s unknown actions…”

After Mu Yue connected all the clues, an answer vaguely emerged in her mind.

“Describe his appearance.” Mu Yue said to Nagato.

“He has reddish hair, tied into a high ponytail, and a thick beard. He looks about thirty years old.” Nagato recalled and replied.

Mu Yue was now 100% sure who the person Nagato met was.

“Teacher Muyue, do you want to see him?”
