Konoha's Barrier Master

After Uzumaki Makoto and Orochimaru talked about the last question, they were speechless throughout the whole process. They were each thinking about their own thoughts without saying a word. Their speed also increased unknowingly, and as the speed increased, the distance gradually shortened unknowingly. Getting closer to the goal.

At around seven o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them accelerated and crossed the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain - a natural line of dark clouds that formed a layer in the sky - and arrived in the Land of Rain.

As soon as he entered the Land of Rain, Uzumaki Makoto could clearly feel the change in the environment - the already thick clouds above his head deepened in color, and the dark clouds turned into thick dark clouds that gradually deepened and thickened at endless heights, extremely dark. The tones covering the sky look deeper than the night, like a black cloth pulled by the gods to cover the entire sky.

Thin, cool raindrops fall from the sky like silver threads in a slow and steady manner, falling from all directions. When picked up by the wind, they roar, crowd, and fall to one side in the direction of the wind, falling to the ground and splashing on the water accumulated in the puddles. Circular ripples spread out, intersect, undulate, and then gradually become smooth and disappear.

At a glance, there is a dark curtain of rain woven into the sky and the earth. The rising water vapor blocks the sight, making it difficult to see the scenery in the distance. Near my ears, I can hear the sound of the rain falling and the howling of the wind from a distance. , the cold breath made Uzumaki Cheng shrink his neck.

Anyone who comes here for the first time will not be familiar with it. Then, in the vast rain, you can feel the vastness of the world and the insignificance of yourself. Looking at the vast colors, you can see the low heaven and earth, and even the world of heaven and earth is like a maze. It is difficult to walk. The thought that there is no end, my eyes and footprints are locked and I can't see anything clearly. No matter how long I walk, I feel like I am spinning in circles. When fear creeps into my heart, I feel like I will never be able to get out.

It was windy and rainy, and dark clouds were gathering, looking like a precursor to a natural disaster when nature was furious.

It's like a human prison, and no one who enters can escape.

Inexplicably, Uzumaki Makoto had such an idea.

Even Uzumaki Makoto had never seen this scene in his previous life - there were some places with 'abnormal' natural scenes in his previous life, but he had never been there, and even the biggest rain he encountered was just One summer afternoon it was cloudy and it rained heavily. It was said that the rain was very heavy, but he didn't know how heavy it was.

But here, he knew that the rain covered a country.

In this life, he might see these scenes from time to time - if he always went out of the village to do tasks.

For example, in the northeast of the Land of Fire is a country called the Land of Snow. The snow-covered icebergs do not melt all year round and snowflakes still fall from the sky. The temperature there is extremely low. The ninjas there can even use water escape mixed with cold air to use low-quality ice escape— —I have to say that there may be a good place for traveling and eating hot pot. It feels good to wear thick cotton clothes on a snowy day and build snowmen with the people you like in a snow-white environment as far as the eye can see.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can also use ninjutsu to build a house or something... So in the future, do you want to inject Hashirama cells to learn wood escape or something?

Envy?

The premise is that you have a chance to travel through time.

In short, in the next few hours, Uzumaki Makoto finally got to see the amount of water in the Rain Country.

The rain never stopped along the way, and the cold breath came up and down from all directions along the gaps between the clothes and the body, like little snakes trying to get in. The occasional drop of water that got in would make Uzumaki tremble. Shivering.

But after getting used to it, they no longer felt cold. Instead, they only felt uncomfortable with wet clothes sticking to their bodies. Then they put on raincoats.

One of the things humans learned before climbing to the top of the food chain is to adapt to the environment, and this instinct has not been lost with evolution, but a better way is to use some tools to help yourself.

Following Orochimaru all the way in the misty rain, the two finally found the nearest town in the Land of Rain at around eight o'clock in the evening, and this became their chosen place to rest temporarily.

After entering the town, they found the only hotel in the town, opened two rooms, stayed there for the night, and had breakfast the next morning. The town where Ryūnosuke Ubu appears.

The next day, it was unusual for it not to rain in the Land of Rain. After three hours of journey, Uzumaki Makoto and Orochimaru arrived at the town where Ryūnosuke Usumu had appeared before noon.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Uzumaki Makoto was surprised. Because the place was not big, it could be called a town or a village, but there was a place that looked very dilapidated and did not seem to be inhabited.

"Is there the town mentioned in the intelligence here?" Looking at the town in front of him that was even more desolate than the town where he stayed for the night before, Uzumaki Cheng couldn't help but asked Orochimaru next to him with doubts in his heart.

The town is so shabby, and everything you can see is a dilapidated scene, as if there are places that have not been inhabited for a long time, or that have experienced war and the precipitation of time. Time has washed away the life and left only dead silence.

Looking outside, I saw dilapidated houses standing close together. Yes, the house had collapsed and you could see the inside of the house at a glance, but yes, it was still standing.

The exteriors of the low houses were all covered with green vines, and most of the rooms were painted green. The plants were creeping and crawling, completely relying on these human-built objects. All kinds of plants that Uzumaki Makoto didn't recognize were scattered in disorder. They grow in the courtyard outside the house and on the road - there are quite clean ones on the road, and I think people come to clean them from time to time.

Although the roads seem to be cleaned because they are relatively clean, there are still weeds and wildflowers growing wantonly on the roadside to fill the gaps.

There is a road behind the gate of the town. It is not the same as the main road in Konoha Village. Instead, it is blocked by several houses. It is endless as far as the eye can see. From these houses, it can be seen that the entire village was originally built. Sometimes designers are afraid that they may not consider architectural beauty at all.

Although the greenery is good, Uzumaki Makoto doesn't like it here, and at the same time, he still has doubts in his heart.

This place is too shabby and does not look like a place where people live. It is hard to imagine what the other party would do in this village.Thinking about it, if the ninjas of Konoha had not returned to the village, they would not have stopped here to rest.

So what is the purpose of Ryūnosuke Uyu coming here?

Orochimaru took the lead to enter the deserted village. Uzumaki Makoto could only follow him without getting the answer. After walking for a while, Orochimaru began to walk and looked left and right as if he was looking for something. Then he turned to Uzumaki Makoto. The question was asked rhetorically.

"Do you think this is just a ruined village?"

"No?" Uzumaki Makoto looked at the unknown plants growing wildly and spreading leaves at his feet, which were still green as far as the eye could see. "The climate of the Land of Rain is so harsh, it is cloudy and rainy all year round, and the houses here are so dilapidated. There is no one to clean up the plants... Although there are no weeds on the road, I don't think most people would think of living here... Also, people have such strange aesthetics that they think this place is very beautiful and close to nature. ?”

"Ha." Orochimaru didn't say anything but smiled after hearing this. Then he seemed to have achieved his goal. He stopped looking for something. After looking at Uzumaki Makoto, he suddenly walked into a small alley full of weeds in the corner on the left. Said to Uzumaki Makoto: "Follow me, there is no simple abandoned village here."

Despite his doubts, Uzumaki Makoto still followed.

There are weeds and wildflowers everywhere on the roads in the town, including in this alley. Moreover, according to Uzumaki Makoto's observation, the number of plants in this alley is neither too many nor too few among the alleys seen. If Since people live here and move around a lot, shouldn’t we also clean up the weeds in addition to the roads?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Uzumaki Makoto finally followed Orochimaru, turning left and right in the alley. The journey was so complicated that even someone who wasn't a road nerd might get knocked out. After walking for about several minutes, the two of them finally walked out of the maze-like alley.

What appeared in front of them was a room...

hotel.

Uzumaki Cheng blinked:? ? ?
