Darui's analysis calmed Xi down a lot. He suppressed his urge to defecate and said, "We know his motive for taking us away. Then why did he dig up the graves of our ancestors?"

Darui shook his head and said, "This is just like the masked woman who was able to resurrect after being killed. I can't figure it out!"

"The only thing I can confirm is that the enemy's real purpose is to recruit the three of us! They let us escape repeatedly because they want us to see the difference in power, wear down our will, and let us figure it out and surrender on our own!!"

"Then, there are only three options before us!"

"First, end it yourself and fundamentally frustrate the enemy's plan!"

"Second, abandon the position of Kumogakure and join the enemy, but I believe that this will be more painful than killing us!"

"The third path is the one I want to take. Listen carefully..."

——The art of spiritual communication!!!

In the rain, Darui plotted loudly: "Let's pretend to surrender to the enemy first!!! Live with humiliation and endure the burden!! After gaining the enemy's trust, find a way to find out the truth about the enemy's ability, and then..."

Perrin had beautiful eyes, a charming smile, and her laughter was like a silver bell, echoing in the rain.

"Hehehe~ Then, kill me~, and then return to the Hidden Cloud Village, and return to the respected Raikage~, right? Not bad~ Darui, it's amazing that you can come up with such a plan~~~!!!"

"hiss!!!"

The air...suddenly still!

Chapter 94 Take advantage of the situation!

The cold raindrops hit Darui's face. Despair spread from his scalp to his toes. He collapsed in the mud, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.

"It's over. The enemy has learned of my plot, and my only way out has been blocked!"

"Honestly, why... did it turn out like this!?"

The only thing he could think of at this moment was to end his life on his own and live up to Yunyin's cultivation of him.

As he thought this, he had already grasped the knife in his hand and slashed it towards his neck.

But one hand grabbed the blade. It was Xi.

Xi's face showed constipation and a fearless look: "Darui, don't you feel aggrieved to die like this?"

"Since there is no way out, let's fight to the death! Fight him vigorously! It's better than being treated like a kite by the enemy and being entertained to death!"

Darui looked at Xi with emotion: "Honestly, Xi, I am surprised that you can say this."

Xi smiled and said, "Thanks for taking care of me along the way, otherwise I would have collapsed long ago. Since I'm about to die, let me show off for once! What do you think, Samui?"

Samui said, "After we kill this guy, I won't run away! I'm going to go to the bathhouse, take a bath, and wait for Hanzo to kill us cleanly!"

"It seems that the decision has been made." Darui's mouth curled up into a determined smile, and he stood up. "Let us do it vigorously, and then go to death together!"

"Hehe." After Perrin smiled playfully, the voice under the mask suddenly changed: "If you want to die, it's not that easy."

Huh!? This guy's aura suddenly changed...

"I will take the lead in the attack, and we will end this quickly!" Darui wrapped the Lightning Chakra around the blade, and Samui and Xi followed closely with knives in their hands!

"In order to respond to your awareness, I will take some real action!" After Perrin formed a seal, she slapped the ground with her little hands.

——Psychic art!

"Bang!" A huge lizard descended from the white smoke, blocking the three people's path! !

Xi was shocked: "What? Summoning such a huge summoning beast...!?"

"She can even communicate with humans, so it's no wonder that she uses a spirit beast!" Darui continued to charge, and at the moment the lizard's tongue rolled over, lightning flashed under his feet, and he instantly reached the side of the lizard!

"It's definitely aimed at the main body!!"

The lizard's ellipsoidal eyes glanced at me, and its tongue swept across...!!

Darui never expected that the lizard's tongue was so flexible. He couldn't dodge it and was whipped away!

"Damn it." He was about to get up when his legs went weak and he fell to his knees. His left arm hung limply and he completely lost consciousness.

"Is this a poison that paralyzes the body?"

He tried to prop himself up with his ninja sword in his right hand, but the numbness had spread throughout his body and he fell down.

Fortunately, Samui and Xi avoided the lizard's attack range when Darui was blown away.

He breathed a sigh of relief and sarcastically said to Perrin who had come up to him, "If you are licked by the lizard's tongue, you will be poisoned. I heard that Hanzo used the highly poisonous salamander as a means of attack. Ha, as his lackey, it is appropriate for you to use a poisonous lizard."

Perrin said, "Why do you think I'm Hanzo's lackey?"

Darui said: "Oh, that's the only way to think about it. Yugakure is Hanzo's world, and Hanzo has the ambition to challenge the five great nations. Who else would do such a thing!"

"Just give up on Hanzo. Kumogakure would rather die than succumb to force!"

Perrin said, "That's really sorry, but Hanzo has no chance to give up because he's already dead."

Darui raised his eyes in shock: "What did you say...?!"

Perrin said, "Also, I expected that you probably wouldn't succumb to force, but I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with. You're right. I want to recruit the three of you, but it doesn't have to be just you three. If it doesn't work this time, it's really not worth investing any more energy in."

Darui recovered from the shock of Hanzo's death and said calmly, "Haha, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill me!"

“Hehehe.” Perrin laughed, “No hurry, we’re already here, it’s not too late to have some fun before killing.”

Samui and Xi retreated to a distance and looked anxious when they saw Darui imprisoned.

Suddenly, the ninja sword in Samui's hand fell to the ground, and his arms were raised uncontrollably and put together above his head.

"Samui, what's wrong with you?"

The fear of the unknown made Samui panic: "No, I don't know, it seems like something grabbed my hand from above my head!!"

"Ah!!!" Suddenly... Samui screamed, and her feet actually left the ground, about half the height of her body, and her legs began to bend and stretch, driven by an irresistible force, spreading to both sides. The posture was as if there was an invisible person behind her, holding her up with his hands around her legs!

“No, that disgusting… thing!! Don’t, don’t touch me!!”

"Sam, Samui..." Xi was just about to go to the rescue when Jiao Pei airborne in front of him and grabbed his throat with his hands!

"Huh?" He glanced and saw blood flowing from the corner of Sam's mouth.

"Oh, do you want to bite your tongue and commit suicide?"

"Crack!" Di Yuanyu's tentacle fist stretched out and grabbed Samui's throat from a distance!

"Don't even think about it!!"

The King of Hell rises!

"Uh uh uh uh uh..." Xi and Samui opened their mouths at the same time, their tongues floated out, and both were caught by the hands that stretched out from the mouth of the King of Hell.

Darui was trembling all over. "Stop! Stop it!!"

Perrin glanced down at him and said, "Aren't you ready to die? Then why are you asking me to stop?"

Darui's eyes were almost bleeding: Damn it, it's not what I thought. If I die like this, I will be as insignificant as an ant...

I'm sorry... I really can't bear to watch you die.

Darui said, "Let them both go... I promise to serve you!"

Perrin said, "Oh? How can I trust you? What if you are just pretending to be loyal to me? I will be the one being taken advantage of."

Darui suddenly raised his head and said, "Then remember this! I will be loyal to you in the future! A disciple of Kumogakure will never make an oath against my will with the lives of my companions!"

Perrin exclaimed, "Beautiful."

Darui took off the forehead protector of Kumogakure and carved a mark of treason with a kunai!

Although this knife was engraved on the forehead guard, it felt like it was engraved on the heart, and it hurt so much that it made blood drip!

I'm sorry, Boss, I'm sorry, Master Bi... For the sake of my companions' lives, I betrayed my hometown! I will continue to live with this humiliation and glory! !

Samui and Xi's tongues retracted into their mouths, and Samui was let go by the two Peiwu.

Xi: "Damn it... what did Darui do?!"

Samui: "Don't be willful, kid!"

Xi: “What did you say!!”

Samui held the soil tightly under him. "Daroi sold out his hometown to save our lives. Anyone can blame him and abuse him! Only the two of us can't!! Listen, Xi, no matter how unwilling you are or how much you want to die!! Becoming his accomplice is the only choice we can make as companions!!"

Go ahead, she took off the forehead protector with her turbid hands, gritted her teeth and carved the mark of a traitor!

"Goodbye, my little brother, Atsu!! Goodbye, my hometown, Kumogakure!! And, I can finally take a bath!"

"Oooooh...!!" Then, Xi, the youngest of the three, with tears of pain in his eyes, engraved the mark of a traitor.

Goodbye... Dad, Mom, I probably don’t have the qualifications to return to the memorial in my hometown to pay tribute to you!

Just like that... after many twists and turns, the three most promising young men of Kumogakure were successfully recruited by Nagato.

Nagato left Konan's lap and slowly walked to the tongue of the relief outside the tower. He looked at the heavy backs of the boys and girls in the rain and muttered to himself in a deep voice.

"Darui, Samui, Xi, one day in the future, you will never regret your decision today. I, Nagato, will promise you in the name of the savior!"

(Haha, I wanted to write something funny and weird, but it turned serious as I was writing)

Chapter 95: Minato is holding it back!

Minato told Jiraiya all about his trip to Amegakure all night long.

"Teacher, overall, I feel that Nagato doesn't seem like a vicious person."

Jiraiya had a bandage on his shoulder and was staring at the ripples in the teacup with a gloomy look.

"In fact, I also realized later that when Payne attacked me, he repeatedly left room for maneuver. But... he actually had the opportunity to tell me the whole story without fighting."

"But he attacked me without saying anything. Does he think from the bottom of his heart that I, as a teacher, am not a reasonable person?"

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat bitter.

After all, the one who hurt him was a disciple whom he had high hopes for.

"Teacher, have some hot tea first." Minato added hot water to Jiraiya's cup.

"Thank you." Jiraiya picked up the teacup and drank it in small sips.

Minato supported his chin with one hand, his calm eyes filled with thoughts and considerations.

"I have some vague guesses about what you just mentioned."

"Eh?" Jiraiya raised his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Minato said with a hint of fear: "When I just approached the tower where Nagato was, I vaguely felt that there was a dark and ominous chakra lingering beside him!"

"But when I approached, the chakra disappeared in an instant. If that was not my illusion, the being that suddenly disappeared had a space-time ability that was no less than mine."

Jiraiya quietly tightened his grip on the teacup, "Are you saying that the reason why Nagato attacked me is related to that person of unknown origin?"

Minato nodded: "We can't rule out this possibility!"

This possible fact comforted Jiraiya a little. He drank the tea in the cup and sighed, "I didn't expect... things have become more complicated."

Minato smiled and said, "That's true, but if it weren't for Jiraiya-sensei's investigation into the Hidden Rain Village, we wouldn't have known these secrets."

Jiraiya said in a low voice: "What surprised me the most was that Danzo actually assisted Hanzo and participated in the encirclement and suppression of those children. Yahiko died because of this. No wonder Nagato would not hesitate to attack Konoha, but what I don't understand is Pain's ambiguous actions in the Uchiha clan."

"Logically speaking... Nagato possesses the Six Paths Eye's Samsara Eye, so he shouldn't have any thoughts about the Uchiha's Sharingan, right?"

"Regarding this point." Minato paused slightly, "Fugaku and Shisui probably know something."

Jiraiya raised his gaze.

Minato said: "During the cleanup mission at Mount Kikyo, Shisui lost an arm. Although he claimed that it was caused by accidentally touching a trap, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is something else going on."

"Mr. Fugaku did not mention a word about this, and I did not bring this matter to the surface and look at it through a magnifying glass, considering the need to maintain the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

Some things, if they are not weighed, they are not even four ounces, but once they are weighed, they weigh even a thousand pounds.

Minato, who understood this principle well, made a wise judgment and did not give people like Danzo in Konoha any chance to make trouble.

But to Teacher Jiraiya, he revealed his true thoughts without reservation.

"Minato, are you saying that Shisui losing his arm might have something to do with Nagato?"

"Nagato attacked Konoha, visited Uchiha, and Shisui lost his arm on Mount Kikyo. There was only a short period of time between them. It is indeed a cause for concern."

"What concerns me more is...if this is true, why did Fugaku and Shisui keep silent? I can feel that Fugaku trusts me as the new Hokage, so what on earth has he been through that would make him choose to hide all this from Konoha and me."
