Chapter 160: Water Country Rebellion
Konan's words made Nagato unable to calm down for a long time.
He can actually understand it...
When Yahiko was still there, he and Konan always regarded Yahiko's decision as their own, and Yahiko was their backbone.
Unfortunately... Yahiko died, leaving only Nagato and Konan as companions.
In order to protect her only close friend, no matter what Nagato did or how many people he killed, Xiaonan would spare no effort to support him because she didn't want to see her companion leave her again.
But it's different now.
There is no longer only fetters in her heart, but also family affection.
Xiaonan has an additional identity as a mother.
"....new student?"
Nagato's heart was also touched by something he had never experienced before...
...
the next day.
Starfish and Sea Cucumber rushed into Xia Yu's office in a hurry.
"Lord Daimyo, we have found the reason why Kirigakure Village failed to fulfill its promise!"
Xia Yu raised his eyes slightly: "Say!"
Haixing placed a letter in front of Xia Yu's desk:
"Early this morning, we received a reply from the Kingdom of Water. It was written by the name of the Kingdom of Water..."
"The letter said that the Taketori clan in the Kingdom of Water launched a rebellion when Kirigakure's large army left the village. Kirigakure has been busy recently pacifying the Taketori clan and has no time to fulfill the promise to us. I hope you can Give me a few more days of grace..."
"What?" Xia Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
That's not right...
Why did the Taketori clan rebel during Terumi Mei's reign? Shouldn't it be the "Blood Mist Sato" period?
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by his own time travel? The timeline is all messed up?
After thinking about it, Xia Yu nodded: "I see. Well, then, please reply to the Kingdom of Water as soon as possible and tell me that I'm not in a hurry. It won't be too late to send the ninjas here after my wife puts down the rebellion..."
"That..." Haixing scratched his head: "Lord Daimyo, I haven't finished what I just said. There are other contents in the letter..."
Xia Yu scolded angrily: "Then why don't you tell me quickly?"
"Yes! The Daimyo of the Land of Water hopes to get your help. Your wife Terumi Mei... it seems that things are not going well..."
"Hmph, how is that possible?" Xia Yu sneered: "I know Terumi Mei's strength very well. It should be no problem to pacify the Taketori clan in a short time."
"Uh... you'd better read it yourself." Haixing stepped forward, opened the envelope, and handed it to Xia Yu.
The new content reads:
'Brother Xia Yu, I hope you can forgive me for what happened suddenly...'
'When we came back, we found that Kirigakure Village had been invaded by the Taketori clan. Since the large army followed us to the country of the sea, the strength in the village was empty, causing the rebels to take advantage of it. Now Terumi Mei is concentrating all his strength and The Taketori clan is competing against each other and has no time to allocate excess ninjas to fulfill the terms promised to you...'
u0027The current war situation is very bad. You may not know about the Taketori clan. They are a ninja clan with blood inheritance limits. The clan members are strong and ruthless. The war has lasted for five days, but there has been no progress yet...u0027
u0027If you can, I hope you can come and help us put down the rebellion for the sake of your wife Terumi Mei. She is now in a difficult situation and the situation is not optimistic. ’
'As long as you can come and help us, once it comes true, I will be extremely grateful, and I will repay you many times the conditions I promised you...'
"..."
Xia Yu closed the letter in his hand and sighed helplessly.
Has Kirigakure Village fallen to this level now?
Even quelling one's own rebellion requires help from others...
But after thinking about it, Xia Yu can actually understand.
During this period, Kirigakure was indeed in a difficult situation.
It just regained its vitality half a year ago. The attack on the Funado clan some time ago cost a lot of combat power, but now the Taketori clan comes again...
"well..."
"Prepare the boat, I'm going to the Kingdom of Water to stay for a few days."
Starfish and Sea Cucumber were startled at the same time: "This... Daimyo-sama, do you really want to go?"
"Yes." Xia Yu nodded: "It is also good for the Kingdom of the Sea to help them. As long as Kirigakure can stabilize as soon as possible, we can receive Kirigakure's compensation as soon as possible..."
"What's more... Terumi Mei is my wife, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
"I understand, then let's prepare the fastest boat!"
Just when Starfish and Sea Cucumber were about to go out, Xia Yu suddenly stopped them:
"Wait, there's no need to prepare the ship..."
"Huh?" Haixing asked curiously: "Lord Daimyo, do you... don't want to go to support?"
"No." Xia Yu shook his head slightly: "I just thought of a faster way to reach the Kingdom of Water."
After saying that, Xia Yu walked to the window, opened it, turned over and jumped out.
"Psychic art!"
"Bang!"
A large amount of smoke appeared out of thin air, and underneath the smoke was a huge female giant with butterfly wings.
"Master, are you looking for me? Are some blind enemies coming to bully you again? Humph! Where are they? Watch me chew them up!"
"There are no enemies, Yingying beast. I want you to be my mount and take me to a place. The faster the better..."
"No problem, come up, Master!"
The Yingying beast lay down and raised its buttocks. Xia Yu was not polite and jumped directly onto the Yingying beast's back from behind.
"Let's go all the way south!"
"Okay, Master. Ride me. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will change my position."
"Huh..."
After that, the Yingying beast flapped its huge wings, quickly soared into the air, and flew southward...
......
At the same time, in a remote valley in the Land of Water.
A man in a white robe, with his eyelids turned outward and two unique ponytails on his head, slowly entered a hidden cave.
The cave was extremely dark. The man walked for a while and came to the prison made of iron bars. With a sinister sneer on his face, he said:
"My good child, come out... It's time to need you."
The man took out the key and opened the iron bars.
A few seconds later, a thin figure walked out of the dungeon.
In the residual light of the lamp, the figure gradually revealed his appearance. It turned out to be a child with a beautiful appearance and a very healing smile.
"Sir, am I...finally needed by you?"
"Yes, Kimimaro, you are the only one who can save our Taketori clan. Not only do I need you, but all the clan members are looking forward to your appearance."
Hearing the words of the man in front of him, Kimimaro lowered his head, and a long-lost light appeared in his eyes.
"It feels so good to be needed."
"It seems that I... am not a lonely person."
This child is called Kimimaro.
Although he is thin and young, he has extremely terrifying power.
The Taketori clan is a ninja clan with a powerful bloodline limit, the 'corpse vein'.
The ability of the 'corpse vein' is to manipulate bones. Most of the clan members in the Taketori clan can use this ability skillfully.
However, the strongest person is this thin child.
Kimimaro has the hardest bones in the Taketori clan. His powerful talent even caused panic among the clan members. He has been imprisoned in the prison here since he was a child.
Until today, he was released.
However, surprisingly, after regaining his freedom, he did not want to vent his anger on his clan members, but sincerely wanted to help those who "needed" him.
Just because of this feeling of "being needed".
Kimimaro could not stand the days of being "alone".
Even if he was just used as a tool for killing, he had no complaints.
"Go, Kimimaro, kill all the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, they are the enemies of the Taketori clan..."
"In the past few years, they have been ruthlessly slaughtered just because we have bloodline limits. Now they are at their weakest, and the era of our clan is about to come, and the most critical person... is you, Junmaro."
"For these clan members who need you, don't control, go and kill as much as you want!"
......
