Konan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked with a hint of worry, "His recent actions are increasingly confusing to me. Nagato, do you really believe him?"
Payne walked to the window and looked out at the country that only knew how to cry:
"This is a cursed and twisted world. Without understanding pain, there will be no true peace, and people will never understand each other..."
"Just because I cooperate with Madara doesn't mean I trust him. It just happens that... we are going down the same path."
Hearing this, Xiaonan also looked out the window:
"I used to think that in life, there is no need to force yourself to choose a path you don't like. It doesn't matter if you live or die at will. But no matter which path you choose, I will never forget to protect my most precious companions. This is why I have always agreed to you following Madara, because this is your decision..."
"But from the moment my child was born, I suddenly seemed to understand that life and death are the cycle of nature..."
Payne turned his head and said, "Xiaonan, what do you want to say?"
Konan walked over to Pein and placed the newborn in Pein's arms.
"Nagato, I have never forgotten Yahiko's pain. Until yesterday, I never stopped reminiscing about the past. But now it is different. A new life... is my hope."
"I hope... this can be your hope too."
......
Chapter 160: Water Country Rebellion
Konan's words left Nagato unable to calm down for a long time.
He actually understands what I mean...
When Yahiko was still around, he and Konan always regarded Yahiko's decisions as their own, and Yahiko was their backbone.
Unfortunately...Yahiko died afterwards, leaving only Nagato and Konan to depend on each other.
In order to protect her only best friend, Konan supports Nagato with all her might no matter what he does or how many people he kills, because she doesn't want to see her companion leave her again.
But it's different now.
There is no longer only bondage in her heart, but also family affection.
Xiaonan has taken on the role of a mother.
"....A freshman?"
Nagato's heart was also touched by something he had never felt before...
......
the next day.
Starfish and sea cucumber rushed into Xia Yu's office in a hurry.
"Damiyo-sama, we have found the reason why the Hidden Mist Village did not fulfill its promise!"
Xia Yu raised his eyes slightly: "Speak!"
Haixing placed a letter in front of Xia Yu's desk:
"Early this morning, we received a reply from the Land of Water. It was written by the Daimyo of the Land of Water..."
"The letter said that the Taketori clan of the Land of Water took advantage of the fact that the Kirigakure army left the village to launch a rebellion. Kirigakure has been busy suppressing the Taketori clan recently and has no time to fulfill its promise to us. I hope you can give us a few more days..."
"What?" Xia Yu frowned slightly when he heard that.
its not right...
Why did the Bamboo Clan's rebellion occur during the reign of Mei Terumi? Shouldn't it have been during the "Blood Mist Village" period?
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by my time travel? The timeline has been messed up?
After thinking about it, Xia Yu nodded: "I see, well, you guys should reply to the Water Country as soon as possible and tell them that I am not in a hurry and it won't be too late to send the ninjas after my wife puts down the rebellion..."
"That..." Haixing scratched his head: "Master Daimyo, I didn't finish what I said just now. There is other content in the letter..."
Xia Yu angrily scolded: "Why don't you just tell me now?"
"Yes! The Daimyo of the Land of Water hopes to get your help. Your wife, Mei Terumi... doesn't seem to be going well..."
"Humph, how is that possible?" Xia Yu sneered: "I know very well the strength of Terumi Mei. It should be no problem to pacify the Taketori clan in a short period of time."
"Uh...you should read it yourself." Haixing walked forward, opened the envelope and handed it to Xia Yu.
The new content reads:
"Brother Xia Yu, please forgive me for this sudden incident..."
"When we came back, we found that the Hidden Mist Village had been occupied by the Taketori Clan. Since a large group of people followed us to the Kingdom of the Sea, the village was left without any fighting force, allowing the rebels to take advantage of the situation. Now, Mei Terumi is concentrating all her strength on fighting the Taketori Clan, and has no time to allocate extra ninjas to fulfill the conditions promised to you..."
"The current war situation is very bad. You may not know the Taketori clan. They are a ninja clan with bloodline limits. The clan members are strong and ruthless. The war has lasted for five days, and there has been no progress so far..."
"If possible, I hope you can come and help us put down the rebellion for the sake of your wife, Mei Terumi. She is now deeply trapped in a difficult battle and the situation is not optimistic."
"As long as you can come to help us, once it is accomplished, I will be extremely grateful, and I will repay you many times over for the conditions I promised you..."
"..."
Xia Yu closed the letter in his hand and sighed helplessly.
The Hidden Mist Village, has it fallen to this point now?
Even to quell his own rebellion he needed help from others...
But on second thought, Xia Yu could actually understand it.
During this period, Kirigakure did have a lot of bad luck.
They just recovered half a year ago, and lost a lot of combat power in the attack on the Funato clan some time ago, and now the Taketori clan comes...
"Ugh..."
"Prepare the boat. I'm going to the Water Kingdom for a few days."
The starfish and the sea cucumber were both startled: "This... Lord Daimyo, are you really going?"
"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded: "Going to help them will also be good for the Sea Country. As long as Kirigakure can be stable as soon as possible, we can receive compensation from Kirigakure as soon as possible..."
"Besides...Mei Terumi is my wife, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
"Got it, then let's go prepare the fastest boat!"
Just as Hai Xing and Hai Cucumber were about to go out, Xia Yu suddenly called them:
"Wait, no need to prepare the boat..."
"Hmm?" Hai Xing asked curiously, "Master Daimyo, do you... not want to go to support?"
"No." Xia Yu shook his head slightly: "I just thought of a way to get to the Water Kingdom faster."
After saying that, Xia Yu walked to the window, opened it, and jumped down.
"Psychic art!"
"boom!"
A large amount of smoke appeared out of nowhere, and under the smoke was a huge female giant with butterfly wings.
"Master, you're looking for me? Are there blind enemies coming to bully you again? Humph! Where are they? Watch me chew them up!"
"There is no enemy, Yingying Beast. I want you to be my mount and take me to a place. The faster the better..."
"No problem, come up, Master!"
The Yingying beast crouched down with its buttocks raised. Xia Yu didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto the back of the Yingying beast from behind.
"Let's go, all the way south!"
"Okay, Master. Ride me. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will change the position."
"call..."
After saying that, the Yingying beast flapped its huge wings, quickly soared into the air, and flew towards the south...
......
At the same time, in a remote valley within the borders of the Water Kingdom.
A man in a white robe, with bulging eyelids and two unique ponytails on his head, slowly entered a hidden cave.
The cave was extremely dark. The man walked for a while and came to the prison made of iron bars. He said with a sinister sneer on his face:
"My good child, come out... the time has come when you are needed."
The man took out the key and opened the iron bars.
A few seconds later, a thin figure walked out of the dungeon.
In the residual light of the lamp, the figure gradually revealed its appearance. It turned out to be a child with a beautiful appearance and an extremely healing smile.
"My Lord, am I...finally needed by you?"
"Yes, Kimimaro, the only person who can save our Taketori clan... is you. Not only do I need you, but all the clan members are looking forward to your appearance."
Hearing the words of the man in front of him, Kimimaro lowered his head, and a long-lost light appeared in his eyes.
"It feels so good to be needed."
"It seems that I... am not alone."
This child's name is Kimimaro.
Although he is thin and young, he possesses extremely terrifying power.
The Taketori clan is a ninja clan that possesses the powerful bloodline limit 'Shikotori'.
The ability of the 'Corpse Bone Vein' is to manipulate bones, and most members of the Taketori clan can use this ability skillfully.
However, the strongest person is this skinny child.
Kimimaro has the strongest bones among the Taketori clan. His powerful talent even caused panic among his clan members, and he has been imprisoned in the prison here since he was a child.
He was not released until today.
However, surprisingly, after regaining his freedom, he did not intend to vent his anger on his tribesmen, but instead sincerely wanted to help those who "needed" him.
Just because of this feeling of being needed.
Kimimaro couldn't stand being alone anymore.
Even though he was just being used as a tool to kill people, he had no complaints.
"Go, Kimimaro, go and kill all the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village. They are the enemies of the Taketori clan..."
"In the past few years, we have been ruthlessly slaughtered by them just because we have bloodline limits. Now they are at their weakest. The era of our clan is about to come, and the most crucial person... is you, Gumaro."
"For the sake of those people who need you, don't control yourself, just kill as much as you want!"
......
Chapter 161: Mei Terumi vs. the Bamboo Clan Leader and Core Members
“Rub, rub, rub….”
In the jungle, Kimimaro was running towards the Hidden Mist Village alone, holding a bone blade in his hand.
"I will kill all the ninjas in Kirigakure. Only in this way can my clan members recognize me! They will recognize my existence and regard me as a companion!"
Just as he secretly made up his mind, two figures, one big and one small, walked towards him from a distance.
Kimimaro's eyes narrowed and he quickly appeared in front of the figure.
"Who are you? Are you ninjas from Kirigakure?"
The two figures, one was tall, carrying a big knife behind him and had a half-bandaged mask on his face.
The other one was short in stature and looked about a few years older than Kimimaro, but Kimimaro couldn't quite tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
They were none other than Zabuza and Haku.
Zabuza was somewhat surprised by Kimimaro's sudden appearance. Feeling the strong murderous aura bursting out from Kimimaro's thin body, Zabuza subconsciously reached for the beheading sword behind him. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and replied:
"We are not Kirigakure ninjas..."
Hearing Zabuza's answer, Gumaro quickly retracted his murderous intent and apologized with a hint of apology:
"Really? Sorry to bother you..."
After saying that, Kimimaro no longer paid attention to the two of them and ran away without looking back.
Seeing Kimimaro leave, Zabuza retracted his hand that was holding the beheading sword and couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is very strong..."
