Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them were silent, and now there was only the silent night wind blowing.

"Should we follow them? They're over there now."

Karin pointed in a direction.

"That direction..."

Ito Toru took a look and shook his head slightly: "No, we won't go there, let's go to the other side."

……

at the same time.

"have they gone?"

"I don't know, let me see..."

"Not yet, don't make any noise!"

Several people hid behind a pillar stealthily, like thieves.

"Strange, how come those guys disappeared here!"

"Come out, we're only going to fight Deidara!"

"It won't kill him, just one blow!"

"come out!"

The shouts came and went.

Now it was completely dark, pitch black and nothing could be seen.

The villagers of Iwagakure searched again and again, but still found few people.

However, their characters are as stubborn as rocks. They will not give up even if they cannot find the person, but will continue to look for him/her.

So they could only continue hiding.

"You've chosen a good place."

Yahiko complained in a low voice, "Deidara, do you usually hide here?"

"of course."

There was unspeakable pride in Deidara's voice.

"Every time I hide here, they can never find me."

"But why do I feel weird..."

Scorpion frowned slightly, he felt something was wrong: "They can find us if they just come in, but why don't they get close to this stone pillar?"

"Deidara, tell me the truth, where is this place?"

"Outside the Tsuchikage Building, they don't dare to break in."

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked: "Why did you bring us here?"

"there's no way."

Deidara spread his hands: "If you don't come here, you can't avoid those mobs, a bunch of vulgar people who don't understand art!"

"It's fine if they're just jealous of my talent, but they're always thinking about beating me up."

“It’s an honor for them to be a part of my art!”

You really deserve a beating...

Yahiko and the others were thinking the same thing.

"Who?!"

Nagato suddenly spoke and looked back warily.

Everyone was startled and looked back as well.

I saw a huge figure standing behind everyone at some point.

"who are you?"

Yahiko looked alert.

"Eh? You're not that..."

Deidara had some impression of this fat man, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while, he just felt that he looked familiar.

"I'm Akatsuki."

Akatsuki answered muffledly, then said to Nagato: "Good perception."

"..."

Nagato did not answer.

"Okay, don't just stand here. Lord Tsuchikage asked me to invite you in."

"Tsuchikage?"

"Why does that old guy want to see us?" Deidara looked unhappy.

"We'll just stay here for a while and then leave, no!"

It can be seen that he has a lot of opinions about Onoki.

"You don't have to go, but you guys..."

Akagi looked at Yahiko and the other three and said, "Lord Tsuchikage asked me to bring you a message. The main reason I invited you to meet this time is to discuss the issue of remuneration in person."

"…Looks like I have to go."

Scorpion's expression darkened.

On the surface, it looked like a friendly discussion of compensation, but in fact it contained a threat.

If you don't come, there's no point in negotiating the compensation.

Given the sinister character of Ohnoki, it would definitely not be a misunderstanding!

"By the way, where are the people from Konoha?"

Akatsuki looked around and said, "Tsuchikage-sama also gave them a message."

"They didn't follow."

"..."

Chitu scratched his head, seeming to be in distress.

"Tsuchikage-sama didn't say what to do in this situation. Never mind. Then just follow me."

"Who said we were going to meet that stinky old man? I'm not going!"

Deidara still looked uncooperative.

"No, you have to go."

Akatsuki grabbed Deidara like he was a kitten.

"What are you doing!"

Deidara was captured again and struggled frantically again.

"If you don't want to attract them, just keep quiet."

Akatsuki's threat was simple but effective.

Then he turned around and looked at Yahiko and the other three in a friendly manner.

"Guys, please."

So Yahiko and his group walked into the Tsuchikage's office building.

This office building is also very Iwanin style.

The only difference from the houses seen outside is that this building is made up of larger rocks.

I don’t know how long it took to build, but it should be quite long.

Because the rocks on the ground already have cracks, and there are some broken small rocks scattered on the ground, when kicked, they will roll for a distance with a clattering sound.

Because it is now night, the detailed appearance cannot be seen clearly, only the magnificent and huge outline can be seen.

As they walked in, there were lights on both sides, and a huge reception room appeared in front of everyone.

Sitting at the highest position was a small figure.

This is the third Tsuchikage - Ohnoki!

He is ugly and doesn't look very impressive.

And a leg was broken.

But it still cannot be underestimated!

"Tsuchikage-sama, I brought them here."

Chitu stepped forward to report.

"Ok?"

Ōnoki glanced at the people below, first looking at Deidara, a complex look flashed across his eyes, then he looked at Yahiko and his group.

"Akatsuki of the Rain Country. Nice to meet you. I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Lord Tsuchikage."

Scorpion took a step forward, looking left and right.

Behind the shadows where the light did not reach, there were vague figures moving around.

At the same time, he also heard a lot of heavy breathing.

"What do you mean by ambushing ninjas on both sides?"

As soon as Scorpion said this, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became solemn!

What? There's an ambush!

Yahiko's heart skipped a beat, and Nagato moved forward a little without being noticed.

Tsuchikage?... I don't know if my Samsara Eye can...

He had no confidence, but he knew he had to stand up.

"Hey! Old man, what do you want to do!"

Deidara's pupils shrank, and he shouted regardless, "They are my recognized companions!"

"If you dare to hurt them, I will never forgive you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Akatsuki suppressed him: "Don't forget that you are from the Iwagakure Village! We are your companions!"

"you put--"

Deidara was silenced again before he could even finish his words.

"stop!"

Ohnoki waved his hands helplessly.

"Don't worry, this is a little surprise I prepared for the Konoha ninjas, not for you."

"..."

"..."

Yahiko and Nagato looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Scorpion seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly recalled that Toru Ito did not follow him before.

Did you even think of this? Ito-san.
