Chapter 91 Sun vs God (15)

A few hours ago, Yuyin Village.

The heavy rain controlled by the gods continued to pour down on this strange steel jungle.

Each raindrop is like thousands of tentacles sprouted from the clouds, sensitively covering every inch of the land here, greedily sensing everything.

What is different from the past is that even in such bad weather, there are still people frequently moving and interacting among the gullies of high-rise buildings.

Although compared to a large village like Konoha, Amegakure Village still seems a bit too quiet and empty; but compared to the Sanshouyu Hanzo era when residents did not dare to go out at all, this scene is like a dead tree blooming, which is surprising.

.

Although there are many inconveniences to living in this village (such as not being able to go out, strict confidentiality, etc.), everyone can eat well, look up at the sky freely, and occasionally fight with the "angels" floating in the sky.

Say hello, and no longer have to worry about being bullied or killed by ninjas at will...

These days are so wonderful compared to the past.

While the residents of Yuyin Village were enjoying their beautiful daily lives, the owner of a pair of lavender-rimmed eyes was standing motionless at the highest point of the city, silently looking down at every figure below.

Tendo Payne's face, studded with black short sticks, was extremely stiff, even more solemn than Konoha's Hokage Rock, as if nothing or anyone could bother him in the slightest.

Although this is not what a living person should look like at all, it just satisfies some people's fantasies about "gods".

But in fact, in the heart of Payne, who no one can see, he is somewhat proud of his achievements in the past two months.

Two months ago, Sanshouyu Hanzo, the all-powerful "ninja demigod", was easily defeated without even being able to withstand a single blow from him.

Then, when recruiting talents for the Akatsuki organization, whether it was Kakuzu, who had fought against the first Hokage, the "God of Ninja World", or one of the famous "Three Ninjas" - the "Cold" who was as famous as Master Jiraiya.

"King" Orochimaru, also under the power of Shinra Tenzheng, has no power to resist.

Therefore, at this moment, Payne, standing at the highest point in the center of the ninja world, has unprecedented confidence in his own power.

If he had doubts about Uchiha Madara's claim that he was the reincarnation of the "Six Paths Sage" before, then this solid record completely eliminated any uneasiness he had about calling himself a "god".

In other words, although Payne seems to have a rigid face now, he is actually very proud in his heart, and increasingly believes that everything in the world must develop according to his plan.

No one can stop him from taking even one step forward. If there is, then destroy the opponent!

Payne is now very sure that no one in this world can be his opponent.

And this power is the reason why he can call himself God.

As everyone knows, this is exactly the idea that Uchiha Obito and Zetsu spent several years instilling in him.

In order to prevent Pain from questioning this, they are working hard to eradicate all Uchiha tribesmen who possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, so that he will not be hit...

anyway.

Just when Pain's heart was racing and he was imagining the bright future for himself and the Akatsuki organization, he looked up to the north as if someone tapped him on the shoulder.

That was the reaction between Yuhu's art of freedom and the ninja's chakra——

He clearly felt that Xiaonan was back.

Two minutes later, a figure with white wings on its back and wearing a large fire cloud robe flapped its wings in the sky, getting closer and closer to Payne's position.

Residents of the Kingdom of Rain along the way would express gratitude or worship when they heard the sound of the wind above. Some of them would even clasp their hands and kneel down, chanting the name of "angel" to seek blessings.

Their hard-won peace is all the work of this angel and the God he represents.

"Penn."

Xiaonan seemed a little anxious this time. Instead of saying hello to the people below, she flew straight to Payne without any hesitation.

She looked tired, but even more guilty. She lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I came back too late."

Then, before Payne could reply, she added as usual: "Wait a moment, I'll change clothes, make something to eat and then go to your place. Okay?"

This "you" naturally refers to Payne's manipulator, that is, Nagato himself who cannot take care of himself.

That is a special individual who needs others to take care of him even for eating and defecation.

Konan felt even more ashamed when she thought of Nagato's inconvenience.

This time she left for two days without leaving even a clone behind. This was the first time after Yahiko's death.

"No need."

Perhaps Xiaonan's comforting tone reminded Payne of his "real situation", and the latter was more eager to eliminate the weak part of himself, so he answered rather stiffly.

In addition, the confidence he had just brewed was pierced by Xiaonan's tenderness, which also gave his answer a hint of anger: "It's the same as when I manipulate the human world to do these things. If you are not here, there is nothing wrong with me."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Payne felt a little regretful, but he couldn't stop them.

After all, it sounds like "you're not as important as you think."

After Xiaonan heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his brows.

This was not because she was worried that Nagato would be dissatisfied with her, but because she thought that her absence for the past two days made Nagato feel abandoned.

As the only person (other than "Madara") who knows the truth, Konan knows one thing very well - that is, how strong Payne is, and how sensitive Nagato's heart is.

"Okay. Let's talk about what you have gained in the past two days."

Seeing Xiaonan's lips slightly parted and about to say something, Payne quickly interrupted her, trying to cover up the embarrassment between the two with business matters.

"Have you found the boy with yellow hair?"

He had a zombie face to begin with, so there was no flaw in his cover. Xiaonan couldn't judge his true thoughts from his expression, so she could only answer his questions.

"I didn't find him."

Xiaonan shook his head, but did not show any disappointment.

Then she changed her voice: "But fortunately, I searched all over the Country of Rain in the past two days, and finally found a village in the jungle between the Yuyin Village and the border of the Country of Fire, with a total of five or six hundred people. The way it looks.”

"so many people?"

Payne's face was expressionless, but the rise in his tone still revealed his doubts.

For large settlements like this, Yuyin Village gives priority to move in. Why are there so many people living outside?

"But what does this have to do with the man we're looking for?"

"Most of the people in that village are children and old people. Many of them are disabled. There are no powerful ninjas. It is impossible for them to survive there alone. There are a few huge beasts responsible for guarding that village, and those are not them either. He could be subdued, so I became suspicious."

Xiao Nan landed on the rooftop and slowly analyzed what he had gained from his trip: "After contacting them, I realized that it was the young man we were looking for who opened it.

"His name is Purgatory Anjuro. Since more than two years ago, he has placed the rescued people there and tamed the wild beasts to protect them. But at that time, there were only a few rescued people, and everyone lived in caves.

Therefore, it was very hidden. Later, more and more people were rescued by Xingjulang in Purgatory, and the number of people in the village increased, and it reached the current scale. I carefully investigated and found that the people in this village usually

They eat berries from the rainforest and rarely go out, so it’s no wonder we haven’t discovered them.”

"so."

Payne pondered for a while, and then asked: "In that case, didn't you tell them that Sansho Hanzo was dead?

"Ame Hidden Village has just regained its vitality. It is the time when the population needs to be replenished. They can definitely move here. There is still a lot of food purchased by Kakuzu last time, and subsequent replenishment will not be a problem."

"Well, about that."

Xiaonan's face was slightly stiff, and he hesitated for two seconds before saying: "Those people are very wary of Yuyin Village. I also told them about the Sanshou Fish Hanzo and the food. Although they were a little interested, they were still not at ease.

He said that we need to discuss it before making a decision."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Payne stopped speaking and remained silent in the rain like a piece of cooling iron.

This was the first time that they were politely shunned or even rejected when they tried to recruit homeless people from outside.

Pain didn't understand. He killed Sanshouyu Hanzo, Yuyin Village had food and drink, and was protected by him. It was a benefit without any harm. Why on earth would these people hesitate?

To be fair, for Payne, who now regards himself as a god, these people's "disobedience" is indeed a bit disrespectful.

He didn't believe that this was the decision of those who wanted to survive. It was unreasonable.

[Could it be said that those people also obey the orders of others? 】

Suddenly, he thought of his previous invitation to Purgatory Anjuro to join the Akatsuki organization but was rejected, and his tone became cold: "Is it the person named Purgatory Anjuro who arranged for them to do this?"

"Probably not."

To Nagato's surprise, Konan answered simply.

"According to the people in that village, this child named Purgatory Anjuro appears every few days, but he doesn't stay much.

"Every time he brings someone over, he will leave after ensuring that the other person is out of danger. He always looks anxious. No one knows when he will show up next. Payne, although it is a bit strange, I feel that he does not

He is not very involved in the lives of these people. In other words, he only wants to save people and has no interest in building his own village or power. He is very different from the rebels we eliminated.

"There are very few people in the entire village who can extract chakra, and this is proof."

But there were some words that she didn't say for fear of arousing Payne's hostility.

That is, the people in that village are different from Yuyin Village. Although they have a single food, a limited number of people, and no clear leaders and managers, until I appeared...

They all have a sense of security and are very generous, and their style of doing things is very different from the "narrow-minded Rain Country".

Although Yuyin Village looks peaceful, this peace is a compromise under Payne's absolute power. There is still not much trust between people. It seems that every time there is one more person in the village, the remaining people will

You will worry that the food you receive is not enough to eat, and everyone is a potential competitor.
To be continued...
