I'm undercover in Hokage

"He ran away as expected."

Everyone jumped to the highest wall of the maze and gathered together. Looking around, Chitu had long disappeared.

"Maze Earthflow Wall"

"This Akatsuchi uses a one-time secret technique scroll that has been out of print in Iwagakure Village. His status is definitely not low," Jueqi said. "It's just why no information about this person has been collected. Could it be that he is a talent secretly cultivated by Onoki?"

"The old guy still has so many thoughts."

damn

Not to mention Leivos, even Xiaonan was very angry.

I didn’t expect that so many things could happen in just a few hours

First, Zetsu came to tell her that there was a spy from Konoha in the team, and then he caught Kakashi out, but he was tricked and almost let him run away.

Later, when he was about to be caught again, Chitu, who he had recruited himself, rebelled again.

Think about what he said when he joined the team: I, Akatsuki, decided to join Akatsuki for revenge.

Your enemy is Ao Suo from the five people of Xinwu who joined the team together.

What is this thing called?

What's even more outrageous is that Akatsuchi's betrayal was not caught, and even Kakashi took the opportunity to run away together.

Xiaonan looked at Ah Fei who was silent in the distance, feeling angry and suspicious.

These two people were so close just now...

Why did you let the other party escape without saying a word?

And he was the one who took the initiative to stop Kakashi in the first place.

It's so weird.

There must be something going on between these two people

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

She felt that there had been an undercurrent surging within the Akatsuki organization recently.

Ah Fei said he was that person.

Thinking about it carefully, it was after cooperating with that person that the "Akatsuki" that he and Yahiko Nagato created together became more and more unfamiliar...

However, as long as we can achieve the ultimate goal and realize Yahiko's lifetime wish, everything will be worth it.

Thinking of this, Xiaonan could suppress her anger no matter how great it was.

As for the various strange things that happened during this trip to Kirigakure...

Let's wait until we go back and discuss it with Nagato.

Trials and other things will change later, so we can only stop here.

"Okay, let's leave things like this for now. We will return to the Kingdom of Rain immediately."

Now Yeyue and Ren are depressed.

It turned out to be a competition or something...

Are you targeting me?

...

...

The Country of Rain is a small country sandwiched between the three superpowers of Fire, Earth, and Wind where it rains all year round. It is also the largest stronghold of the Akatsuki organization.

Due to its awkward geographical location, the Country of Rain unfortunately became a Shura field where the main force fought during the war between the three countries many years ago.

What's ridiculous is that the three kingdoms of Fire, Earth, and Wind are at war, but the main battlefield is in the Kingdom of Rain. It really doesn't make sense...

But being unreasonable is the biggest principle that big countries believe in.

The Kingdom of Rain withered in the war. The ninjas who protected the country died tragically. The people were wiped out, orphans were in groups, and the country was rapidly declining.

But all this changed after Payne's rule.

Pain ended the separatist war in the country and merged the Rain Country Amegakure and Kawano Country Amegakure into one, providing refuge to the villagers who did not favor the former leader Hanzo.

Since then, the Rain Country has finally had a chance to recuperate after the war, and the villagers have regarded Payne as the "god" who saved them.

After the initial stabilization of the country, Payne no longer had direct contact with the ninjas in the village. Instead, he sent Xiaonan as an "angel" to deliver the orders of the ninja village organization. While he was in "seclusion" most of the time, he would use "Sunday No. It will rain again" to tell the villagers that they still exist.

The reason for this was that Payne was busy planning more important things.

These are the information Xiaonan revealed to Yeyue and others along the way.

It had been three days since their group left the border between Thunderstorm and Rainstorm, and they were about to arrive in the Country of Rain.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Rain, even if Yeyue Kazuto's undercover career officially started, the danger would be doubled, so he had been making insinuations along the way, trying to get more information.

Strangely enough, Xiaonan, who had never been kind to others, was surprisingly patient when facing Yeyue and Ren's questions, so he learned a lot of things without spending much effort.

This made Yeyue and Ren very worried.

Could this Xiaonan be...

Could it be that they discovered my undercover identity?

You want to wait until I'm paralyzed before giving me a knife

A chill ran down his spine and he unconsciously touched his neck with his hand.

Thinking about it, I thought it was unlikely. If I wanted to take action, I should have taken action long ago.

Moreover, the other party also took the initiative to remove the detonating talisman in his body, indicating that he was not suspicious of him.

So how to explain these abnormal behaviors...

Yeyue and Ren sighed.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Complete your own goals first and then talk about it

The current goal is: to break into the enemy, steal information about the Akatsuki organization, find out whether there is a threat to Kumogakure, and return to the village as soon as possible to live out this life peacefully.

Although the beautiful woman next to me is very eye-catching, but for some reason, I still feel that it is more reliable to stay with the macho big brother...

"We're here, ahead is the Kingdom of Rain."

Xiaonan's voice brought him back from his thoughts. When he looked up, he saw a mottled city wall in front of him.

The amazing thing is that there is still a bright sun above my head, but behind the old city wall, in the Kingdom of Rain, there are dark clouds and heavy rain.

It is said that it rains almost 365 days a year in the Land of Rain, so Payne, who has been "disappearing" all year round, uses "no rain on Sundays" to let everyone know that he has always existed.

There is a ninja team stationed at the city gate, responsible for verifying the identities of people coming and going.

"As expected, as Senior Xiaonan said, the inspection is very strict."

Yeyue and Ren noticed that except for their group, almost no one else came in and out from here, but there was still a small team of ninjas responsible for checking.

"Well, this is because the people of the war-torn Rain Country can no longer withstand the devastation and must protect their safety. This will also help our Akatsuki organization to carry out covert activities in the country." Xiaonan explained.

"So that's it..." Yeyue and Ren nodded thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, Akatsuki has secretly controlled a country

This is not something that an ordinary mercenary organization can accomplish. It seems that Brother Raikage's information is not that good.

And protecting people and stuff...

The element of protection may indeed exist, but the element of surveillance and control is probably even greater.

Although Konan sounds nice, think about the Kirigakure rebel ninja before, but he was killed because he didn't take off his mask.

Presumably the "ruling" process she described so lightly was definitely not that simple.

"Kazuto, um..." Xiaonan suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, what's the matter, Senior Xiaonan?" Yeyue and Ren were a little nervous.

Oops, have psychological activities been discovered?

"Well, we are all in our twenties, so don't call me senior anymore." Xiaonan turned and walked towards the checkpoint, "Just call me Xiaonan...sister."

These words were something Yeyue and Ren didn't expect, "Well, okay, Sister Xiaonan..."

I always feel like this young lady...

Something wrong

Under the leadership of Xiao Nan, there was no need to check their identities. The inspection team not only opened the door diligently, but also provided them with raincoats, and the group entered the Kingdom of Rain in a mighty manner.

Unexpectedly, after entering, what appeared in front of everyone was not houses and B&Bs, or shops and restaurants, but rows of water pipes and a lonely bridge.

Under the bridge is a large dark lake. Rainwater discharged from the water pipes pours into the lake, forming a large amount of white foam like pouring beer.

"We haven't arrived yet, why can't we see anyone? Should we go left or right next?" Leivos felt a little uncomfortable. The cold and damp air in the Land of Rain made him very uncomfortable.

"We'll be there soon. We won't go left or right..." Xiaonan stepped onto the bridge. "After we cross the Feimo Bridge, we'll go up."

"going up"

Everyone raised their heads after hearing this, and what came into view were tall towers made of huge stones and steel.

They are built extremely densely and are connected by pipes without any gaps. Among them, a tall tower in the west is the most majestic and towering, looking like it is connected to dark clouds.

Each tall tower is equipped with a developed drainage pipe system, which drains rainwater from the upper city into the large lake in front of it.

Giant towers, steel, pipes, rust, black clouds, heavy rain, the neon lights reflected through the water vapor in the upper city...

Yeyue and Ren twitched their noses and took a breath of moist air.

I didn’t expect that the level of industrialization in the Rain Country was so high.

Standing under this huge, rusty, temperatureless steel building, an inexplicable sense of insignificance and powerlessness arises spontaneously.

It feels a bit...cyberpunk.
