The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 408 New World

"Is this the Land of Rain?"

Weiss raised his head slightly and looked at the lead-gray sky. The dense dark clouds were like layers of thick quilts, covering the sky tightly. Raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, and there was no sign of stopping.

In his memory, the Rain Country was the only country in the entire ninja world that was shrouded in such bad weather all year round.

This country, located between the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Wind, has unfortunately become a battlefield and buffer zone for the game between major powers due to its special geographical location.

Whenever a Ninja World War breaks out, the flames of war will spread to this land without warning, and the people will suffer terribly.

The already barren land became even more impoverished after years of war and endless rainstorms, and the lives of the people fell into an endless abyss of suffering.

It was in this desperate situation that an organization called Akatsuki came into being.

Initially, they harbored lofty ideals, determined to end war, and longed for all countries to put aside their past grievances, coexist peacefully, and bring hope to this scarred continent.

However, times have changed, and now Akatsuki, under the leadership of Nagato, has deviated from its original intention.

Weiss walked forward at a leisurely pace while carefully recalling the plot of Naruto in his mind.

Not long after walking, we were lucky enough to come across a small village.

He stopped for a while, asked the villagers for the direction of Yuyin Village, and then set off again.

Soon after, Weiss was standing in the air overlooking the Hidden Rain Village below.

The scene that came into view made him frown slightly, and he muttered to himself, "What a strange village."

The architectural styles of the Hidden Rain Village vary greatly. Most of them are towering into the clouds and are mostly made of steel.

Based on his understanding of the world's productivity level, it would be impossible for such a modern urban landscape to appear in such a backward environment without special assistance.

And all of this, in the final analysis, can only be attributed to the mysterious and powerful power of chakra.

As soon as Weiss stepped into the area of the Hidden Rain Village, she was keenly noticed by Nagato.

The rain here actually contains Nagato's chakra, which is his unique ninjutsu used to monitor the entire Rain Village.

Weiss did this on purpose.

"Intruder?"

In the dark, a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village lowered his voice and sent a message to his companions.

"Not likely." The companion shook his head slightly and responded with the same telepathic technique, "Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble."

"Tourists?" Another ninja asked in confusion.

"Idiot, where do the tourists come from here?" The ninja next to him couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

After Lord Nagato defeated Hanzo, the Hidden Rain Village has been implementing a closed-door policy and adhering to the principle of secrecy. How could there be tourists?

After a brief exchange, the ninjas hiding in the shadows quickly made a decision: "Don't act rashly. Report everything to the Angel."

They thought they were acting in secret, but they didn't know that their every move was exposed to Wes's gaze like they were naked.

The information was transmitted extremely quickly and soon reached Xiaonan. A thoughtful ninja even attached a photo of Wes so that Xiaonan could understand the situation firsthand.

"Someone I've never heard of." Tendo Pain's hollow and majestic voice rang out in the room. He lowered his head slightly, looking at the information in his hand, his eyes expressionless. "An unknown ninja."

"There's certainly no relevant intelligence, but the fact they were able to invade the village suggests they're quite powerful." Xiaonan frowned, a hint of caution in her eyes. At this crucial moment, any slight disturbance could affect the organization's carefully crafted plan.

"The plan has reached a critical moment. Could it be that spies have been sent from other villages?"

"He's just an ordinary man." Another Payne said nonchalantly.

"Leave this person to me."

After a little thought, Xiaonan decided to take action himself to test the true strength of this uninvited guest.

At this moment, Weiss was already strolling on the streets of the Hidden Rain Village, and the atmosphere around him seemed particularly strange.

The people on both sides of the street, whether they were passers-by in a hurry or vendors who were usually hospitable, seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding at this moment, and kept their distance from him, as if he was a transparent person who did not exist in this space at all.

The faces of the vendors, who were originally full of smiles and trying to attract business, immediately became expressionless the moment they saw Wes. They deliberately avoided his gaze and pretended not to see him.

The other people in the Hidden Rain Village also ignored Weiss's existence and went about their own business. However, when they passed by him, they would unconsciously speed up their pace, as if staying for even a second longer would get them into trouble.

But Wes didn't care about it at all. He still walked at a leisurely pace, wandering aimlessly on the slightly deserted streets, as if he was just a curious passerby, admiring the unique scenery of this unique village.

"coming."

Weiss noticed something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, outlining a subtle arc, and then he slowly turned around.

Konan was wearing the iconic Akatsuki uniform with a black background and red clouds. She had a graceful figure but exuded a cold aura.

She walked towards Weiss step by step, her eyes full of vigilance and scrutiny.

"I remember your name is Xiaonan?"

Weiss spoke first, his tone sounding a bit nonchalant, as if he was just chatting casually.

“Who the hell are you??”

Xiaonan's heart suddenly tightened, and the danger of Weiss instantly increased several levels in his mind.

You know, in the organization, everyone is called by code names, and very few people know her real name. How could she not feel fearful that this person of unknown origin could call out her name?

"You don't look like you'll say it yourself."

Before Xiaonan finished speaking, she had already formed seals with her hands. Countless papers poured out from behind her, surrounding Weiss in an instant, forming an airtight circle.

"Paper Escape, Paper Prison Technique"

Xiaonan shouted softly.

The paper seemed to have a life of its own, clinging to each other tightly, wrapping tighter and tighter, trying to bind Weiss's hands firmly.

However, Xiaonan had no intention of taking Wes's life at the moment. She just wanted to use this trick to knock Wes unconscious so that she could ask him later where he knew her name from.

In the blink of an eye, Weiss was completely covered by the layers of paper, and his figure could no longer be seen from the outside.

"So easy?"

Xiaonan looked at Weiss who was wrapped tightly in paper, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
