The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 408 The New World

"Is this the Land of Rain?"

Weiss tilted his head slightly, looking up at the leaden sky. The dense dark clouds were like layers of thick cotton blankets, covering the sky completely. Large raindrops pelted down, showing no sign of stopping.

In his memory, only the Land of Rain was perpetually shrouded in such harsh weather throughout the entire ninja world.

This country, situated between the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind, unfortunately became a battlefield and buffer zone for great power rivalry due to its unique geographical location.

Whenever a ninja war breaks out, the flames of war will spread to this land without warning, causing immense suffering to the people.

The already barren land, under the onslaught of years of war and endless torrential rains, has become even more impoverished, plunging the lives of the people into an abyss of endless suffering.

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

Initially, they harbored lofty ideals, determined to end wars, and hoped that all nations could set aside their past grievances and coexist peacefully, bringing a glimmer of hope to this scarred continent.

However, times have changed, and now Akatsuki, under Nagato's leadership, has strayed from its original purpose.

As Wes carefully recalled the plot of Naruto in his mind, he walked forward at a leisurely pace.

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

He paused briefly, inquired about the direction of Amegakure Village from the villagers, and then set off again.

Shortly after, Wes stood in the air, looking down at Amegakure below.

The sight that came into view made him frown slightly, muttering to himself, "A strange village."

The architecture of Amegakure Village is quite unique, with most buildings towering into the clouds and constructed primarily of steel.

Based on his understanding of the world's productivity level, he knew that in such a backward environment, without special assistance, it would have been impossible for such a modern urban landscape to emerge.

Ultimately, all of this can only be attributed to the mysterious and powerful chakra.

As soon as Wes stepped into the territory of Amegakure, he was keenly noticed by Nagato.

The rainwater here actually contains Nagato's chakra, a unique ninjutsu he used to monitor the entire Amegakure village.

Weiss did this intentionally.

"Intruder?"

In the shadows, a ninja from Amegakure whispered to his companion.

"Doesn't seem like it." His companion shook his head slightly and replied using telepathy as well. "Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be here to cause trouble."

"Tourists?" another ninja asked in confusion.

"Idiot, where did you get these tourists?" The ninja next to him couldn't help but whisper a rebuke.

After Lord Nagato defeated Hanzo, Amegakure has maintained a policy of isolation and secrecy, so how could there possibly be tourists?

After a brief exchange, the ninjas hidden in the shadows quickly made a decision: "Do not act rashly, report everything to the angel."

They thought they were acting discreetly, but little did they know that their every move was exposed to Wes's gaze as if they were naked.

The intelligence was transmitted extremely quickly, and it soon reached Konan. A thoughtful ninja even attached a photo of Wes so that Konan could know the situation as soon as possible.

"Someone I've never heard of." Pain's hollow yet authoritative voice echoed in the room. He lowered his head slightly, looking at the intelligence report in his hand, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "An unknown ninja."

"Indeed, there is no relevant intelligence, but the fact that this person was able to infiltrate the village indicates that he has considerable strength." Xiao Nan frowned, her eyes revealing a hint of caution.

At this critical moment, any slight disturbance could affect the organization's carefully planned scheme.

"At this crucial moment in the plan, could it be that spies from other villages have been sent?"

"He's just a mortal," Payne said nonchalantly.

"Leave this person to me."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Nan decided to take matters into her own hands and investigate the true nature of this uninvited guest.

At this moment, Wes was already strolling on the streets of Amegakure, and the atmosphere around him seemed particularly strange.

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

The vendors' faces, which had been beaming with smiles as they solicited business, instantly turned expressionless the moment they saw Wes, and they deliberately avoided eye contact, pretending not to see him.

The others from Amegakure ignored Wes's presence, each going about their own business. However, when passing by him, they would unconsciously quicken their pace, as if lingering for even a second would cause some trouble.

However, Wes didn't seem to care at all, continuing to stroll aimlessly through the somewhat deserted streets, as if he were just a curious passerby, appreciating the unique scenery of this distinctive village.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"They're here."

Wes sensed something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, forming a faint curve, before he slowly turned around.

Konan was dressed in the iconic black Akatsuki uniform with red clouds, her figure graceful yet exuding a cold aura.

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

"I remember your name is Xiao Nan?"

Wes spoke first, his tone casual, as if he were just chatting idly.

"Who exactly are you??"

Xiao Nan's heart tightened suddenly, instantly raising the level of danger Weiss posed in her mind to several notches.

You see, in the organization, everyone addresses each other by code names, and very few people know her real name. How could she not be wary of this person of unknown origin who could call her by name so easily?

"Judging from your expression, you won't say it on your own."

Before Xiao Nan finished speaking, her hands had already formed a seal in a flash. Countless papers poured out from behind her, instantly surrounding Wes and forming an impenetrable encirclement.

"Paper Escape and Paper Prison Technique"

Xiao Nan gave a soft shout.

The paper seemed to come alive, clinging tightly together, wrapping itself tighter and tighter, trying to bind Wes's hand firmly.

However, Xiao Nan did not intend to kill Wes at this moment. She just wanted to use this move to knock Wes unconscious so that she could find out from him where he learned her name.

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

"So easy?"

Looking at Wes, who was wrapped up tightly in paper, Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
