Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 230 Xiao Nan's New Mission

Rain-Hidden Village.

It rains all year round.

When autumn came, nothing had changed.

Inside a building primarily constructed of steel, a group of people carried a corpse to the tallest tower.

A moment later, white pieces of paper floated out of the rain.

"Lord Angel!"

All the ninjas knelt down and shouted.

The paper fragments coalesced into a young woman with wings and long, blue-purple hair.

Xiao Nan.

She glanced at the seven corpses on the ground.

They were all ninjas.

Moreover, they came from different ninja villages.

Among them were ninjas from the five major villages.

They were all there to gather intelligence.

Although Amegakure is insignificant in the eyes of the five great villages, its leader, Hanzo, who is known as a demigod, cannot be ignored.

He disappeared without a trace after the Second Shinobi World War.

The various ninja villages have always wanted to know what he's doing, so they've never stopped sending out intelligence agents.

But all of this was ultimately in vain.

Any ninja who enters Amegakure will be detected by the eyes of God.

Xiao Nan raised her hand, and countless origami scrolls lifted up the seven corpses, which followed her toward the tower.

"Nagato".

She stopped and said, "These seven people were the ninjas who recently invaded; they have all been dealt with."

Pain turned his head, his Rinnegan scanning the seven corpses.

After a few seconds of silence, he pointed at the two people with a blank expression and said, "Keep them as backups for Liudao."

Xiao Nan nodded, and with a thought, the two corpses flew to the top of the tower, to the place where the bodies were stored.

As for the other five corpses, they will be moved to another tower.

The tower beneath our feet is for Nagato's exclusive use.

If the Six Paths of Pain are damaged, they will be remade using the corpses here.

"Nagato, I have received two pieces of information about the Tailed Beasts."

After Xiao Nan finished disposing of the body, she said, "It's up to you to decide."

"you say."

Pain's tone was completely calm.

Even the tailed beasts are no exception.

In his view, although the tailed beasts are distributed among various ninja villages, they will eventually belong to him.

We're just letting them keep it safe for now.

This is the confidence of being a god.

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure died at the hands of the demon Mouryou from the Land of Demons."

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and said, "Although Bai Zetsu didn't witness it, someone saw it with their own eyes, and after using various methods to inquire, it should be true."

"It's alright. The Two-Tails' resurrection time is relatively short and will not affect our plans."

Pain, the Deva Path, looked at the Hidden Rain Village in the distance without paying any attention.

"Um."

Konan nodded, then asked, "The Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura Karatachi, is about to die. Is there anything we should do?"

Three tails?

Pain paused upon hearing this.

He recalled that the ninja who called himself Uchiha Madara had suffered a crushing defeat against the Three-Tails.

When they returned, they were in a rather disheveled state.

The report also mentioned a mysterious Wood Release master.

Although he didn't care, being able to defeat Uchiha Madara undoubtedly showed he had some skill.

Perhaps we can recruit him into the Akatsuki organization.

We still don't have enough manpower, so we're not making the expected money.

"Xiao Nan, you choose two people to make the trip yourself."

Pain spoke up, "If you encounter the Wood Release ninja that Madara Uchiha mentioned, bring him back."

The Akatsuki organization recruits members primarily through fighting and verbal sparring.

For example, Sasori, who had not yet reformed himself, was beaten up by Konan and then persuaded to join.

Deidara was the same; he was invited by Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Sasori who blocked his door.

The reason Konan was sent out this time is because it involves Madara Uchiha.

Of course, the person behind the skin is Obito Uchiha.

Xiao Nan never trusted him.

She suspected he was hiding something after his crushing defeat in Kirigakure.

However, without evidence, we had to give up.

Pain knew about her, so he simply sent her on the trip.

If we could encounter a Wood Release ninja, we could find out what happened back then.

If we can't find it, bringing back the Three-Tailed Fox is not bad either.

"Um."

A flicker of emotion flashed in Xiao Nan's orange eyes.

She was indeed quite interested.

It wasn't the so-called Wood Release ninja, but Uchiha Madara.

She wanted to understand why he was so obsessed with Kirigakure.

Perhaps we can glean his true identity from this.

"Then I'll leave first."

Xiao Nan turned around and descended the tower.

She stood at the doorway, looking at the relentless rain before her, lost in thought.

She also had some understanding of Madara Uchiha's abilities.

The Wood Release ninja who could defeat him was certainly not weak.

"Let's bring Kakuzu and Hidan along."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Nan came up with an answer.

Kakuzu is a versatile individual who knows the Five Elements Escape Technique and has five lives.

Hidan is a follower of Jashin and possesses immortality. He can perform sacrifices as long as he obtains the blood of his enemies.

If you have strong teammates, this ability is practically unbeatable.

The day after the incident involving the demons ended.

The news spread throughout the ninja world.

Compared to Natsume and Shion working together to seal the demon, the deaths of the two Yugito are more worthy of discussion among the various ninja villages.

Of course, apart from the Hidden Cloud Village, most people were gloating.

The death of the Jinchuriki and the rebirth of the Tailed Beasts mean that a huge fighting force has been lost within a few years.

The Hidden Cloud Village is known for its domineering ways, and many people are happy to see this.

However, with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage present, it wasn't too much weaker.

Therefore, no ninja village took this opportunity to start a war.

The Hokage's Office in Konoha Village.

After Kurenai left, it became quiet.

Natsume casually picked up a document.

It belongs to Jiraiya.

He recently left Konoha to pursue the evil man who destroyed Mount Myōboku.

It was mainly because the Great Toad Immortal was urging them on.

This made Jiraiya feel deeply uneasy.

Therefore, it is no longer certain whether Natsume is the Child of Prophecy, and the plan is to find the Child of Destruction first.

Otherwise, if Mount Myoboku disappeared, he would lose his direction in life.

Natsume put down the documents and immediately headed to Shikkotsu Forest.

"Natsume-sama."

His appearance was noticed by a slug not far away.

It was half his height and looked quite huge.

However, it is still a split form of the Slug Sage.

"I'm looking for the Slug Fairy."

Natsume smiled politely, said goodbye, and headed deeper into the forest.

A moment later, the slug sage's boundless body filled his vision.

"Natsume-chan."

Although it spoke in a rather gentle tone, its large size made its voice sound deafening.

"You said you needed to talk to me last time, what was it?"

The Slug Immortal couldn't wait to ask.

It still remembered what Natsume said when he summoned it in the Underworld not long ago.

If it were the Great Toad Immortal, he would probably have forgotten about it completely long ago.

So, it's all because of loneliness.

"It's something important."

Natsume gazed at it and asked, "What is the relationship between our Shikkotsu Forest and the other two great holy sites?"

The slug immortal was stunned upon hearing this.

It clearly hadn't expected Natsume to ask that question.

"not bad."

The slug immortal thought for a moment and said, "The three holy lands have maintained an alliance for over a thousand years. If you have something you'd like to ask them for help, I can convey it on your behalf."

They don't compete or fight, and they even treat contract holders well.

Natsume thought to himself, "As expected, Shikkotsu-no-Rin is the only one I can get along with."

Needless to say, Mount Myōboku spends all his time ordering around contractors.

Yongji-dong is slightly better, but it has a bad temper.

For example, the Ten Thousand Snakes.

Orochimaru had to prepare offerings every time he used it.

When faced with danger, it doesn't care about the life or death of its contractor and runs away as fast as it can.

In comparison, Shikulin seems like paradise.

Of course, this is related to the Slug Sage's personality.

Having lived for so long, and being a lonely individual, he is very good to his contractors.

At least they treated each other as normal partners.

Is the alliance strong enough?

Natsume smiled and said, "If one day Mount Myōboku encounters an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, will you intervene?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise and seriousness flashed in the Slug Immortal's eyes.

It slowly asked, "You also know about Gamamaru's prophecy?"

"Jiraiya, the contractor of Mount Myōboku, was a ninja from Konoha. He told me that."

Natsume explained casually.

"I see."

After a moment of silence, the Slug Sage said, "If that person only targets Mount Myōboku, I might be able to protect myself. But I'm afraid he's after all three sacred lands. In that case, I won't be able to escape either."

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

This answer was exactly what he expected.

They may be allies, but when it comes to fighting to the death, things are hard to say.

Having lived for over a thousand years, they still cherish their lives.

Regarding Ryuchi Cave, Natsume believes his thoughts are the same as the Slug Sage's.

After all, those snakes were even more ruthless.

There's no reason for me to risk my life for the Great Toad Sage.

Of course, this is on the premise that the matter only involves Mount Myōboku, and not the three sacred sites.

"You're asking this because you know who the person in the prophecy is?"

The slug fairy subconsciously raised its head and looked down at him.

"Slug Sage, is your Skynet login still working?"

Natsume met its gaze and spoke calmly.

"How...how did you know about the Skynet login device?!"

The slug fairy's enormous body trembled in fright, and the Wet Bone Forest seemed to be struck by a massive earthquake.

This secret is known to only one person.

The former emperor of the ancestral kingdom.

The Slug Sage didn't tell a second person, or rather, a second creature.

After all, it was a betrayal of the three holy lands.

It assumed that after Isshiki Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki perished together, no one would know this secret anymore.

Now that it's suddenly being brought up, it's naturally alarmed.

"Why don't you take a look at it?"

Natsume smiled.

When he arrived at the Wet Bone Forest, he sensed the Heavenly Net login device that he had given to the Slug Immortal.

Because of the disappearance of the sacred tree, it has ceased to function.

But now the server has been transferred to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He can restart it.

The slug fairy felt a tremor in his heart.

It immediately had a bad feeling.

If Skynet reappears, it means that woman has returned.

But that's impossible.

The moon is still in the sky, just fine.

The slug fairy remained silent for a moment, then his body trembled again.

The ground cracked open not far away, revealing a huge black cube.

This is the special SkyNet login device that Natsume gave it.

It lowered its head and touched the black square with its antennae.

"Create happiness with your heart."

A startup prompt sounded.

The slug fairy froze on the spot, a look of terror on its face.

How is that possible?!

It finally understood who the toad pill's prophecy was referring to.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She possesses the most unique eyes in the ninja world: the Rinne Sharingan.

At the same time, there is sufficient reason and strength to destroy Mount Myōboku.

Three thousand characters.
