Konoha: I have a gravity training room

"What are these two doing? Have they encountered the enemy?"

Xia Mu quietly used the telescope technique and finally got a clearer view. He saw an old man with red hair and a red beard standing opposite Deidara. Even though this old man didn't appear much in the original work, Xia Mu recognized him at a glance.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, Lao Zi!

It seems that because Lao Shi had a bad relationship with the Tsuchikage, he ran away from the village, so it is normal for him to be outside.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zi actually encountered two people from the Akatsuki organization.

Hmm? Perhaps that's not the case. Perhaps Deidara and Sasori's target is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki? After all, with Ohnoki and Kurotsuchi both searching for Deidara, there's no way Deidara would return to the Land of Earth just to fulfill a bounty. Other countries can also fulfill bounties.

It is very likely that these two are coming for the Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village!

"Logically, this should be handed over to Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. Putting aside the grudge between Deidara and the Iwagakure Village, even with regard to the Four-Tails Jinchuriki's Melt Release, it would be more appropriate for Hoshigaki Kisame, who is skilled in Water Release, to come. In the original novel, it was Hoshigaki Kisame who captured Murasaki, so what is the situation now?"

Xia Mu was indeed a little confused, but it was impossible to follow the original work now.

After he leaked a lot of information about Akatsuki members in advance, and after Akatsuki's finance minister Kakuzu was killed, Akatsuki might have made other decisions.

Look at Deidara and Scorpion, weren’t they also forced to come out and take on bounty missions?

So it’s not surprising that they came to the Hidden Rock Village!

Xia Mu convinced himself and continued to watch the battle.

Deidara controlled the white spiders to creep quietly through the smoke and dust, attempting to sneak up on Old Purple. At the same time, he quickly made several clay birds to distract Old Purple.

But Lao Zi is not an ordinary person, and Deidara's little tricks are not enough in his eyes.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

He rushed forward while forming seals, spitting out huge balls of magma from his mouth: "Molten Release: Burning River Rock Technique!"

call!call!call!

A huge magma ball came roaring and was ignited by the high temperature along the way. The clay spiders that Deidara quietly released and the clay birds released in the air were all ignited and exploded on the spot. However, the magma ball still moved forward, completely enveloping Deidara and Scorpion.

Deidara had no choice but to quickly make a giant clay bird, which carried him and Scorpion into the air and successfully avoided the lava ball.

But Lao Zi continued to raise his head and spit out smaller magma balls into the air. This time the magma balls were not only dense, but also very fast, which scared Deidara so much that he hurriedly controlled the giant clay bird to dodge.

..... ..... ...

"This old man is so dangerous!"

Deidara was laughing, reaching his hands into his ninja tool bag. The big mouth in his palm immediately devoured the clay and chewed it frantically. "This old man is not easy to deal with. The large clay will probably be blown up by the magma. It's better to use something small. Or C1 Clay Spider. As long as one of them can climb onto the old man, I can blow him to death!"

As he spoke, the mouth that was chewing rapidly in the palm of his hand opened, and white spiders were created one after another.

Deidara controlled the giant bird, constantly dodging Lao Zi's magma ball, and when it flew over Lao Zi's head, he immediately dropped a bunch of clay spiders.

Seeing that the clay spider was about to fall on Lao Zi, Deidara was very excited. He made a seal and shouted: "Art is explosion! Drink!"

boom! boom! boom!

Tiny spiders, huge explosions.

Lao Zi seemed to be completely overwhelmed by the explosion, which made the smile on Deidara's face even wider.

Just when he was about to see whether Lao Zi was dead or alive, the ground suddenly burst into flames, and Lao Zi's figure was seen in the flames. His whole body seemed to be covered by magma, and a tail grew behind him!

This is about to use the power of the tailed beasts!

"Deidara! You little brat! Why didn't Ohnoki teach you well? In that case, let me kill you today!"

"Melting Chakra Mode!"

The next second, Lao Zi transformed into a magma man and rushed directly into the air, causing a violent explosion in the air.

Chapter 201 Watching a Play

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's why Hoshigaki Kisame should be the one to come!"

Xia Mu enjoyed the show very much, but he regretted that there were no melon seeds and drinks. He must remember to prepare some next time.

Deidara and Scorpion had already turned over and fallen from the sky, but Deidara was very unhappy when he saw his giant clay bird being blown apart.

He doesn't recognize the art of clay being exploded by magma!

However, for the sake of his life, he quickly made another clay bird to save himself and Scorpion.

However, Lao Zi flew towards the two of them, obviously using the Earth Style: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique of the Hidden Rock Village, which enabled him to fly in the air. Facing Deidara, who could only fly with the help of clay creatures, air combat was not a problem at all.

"Damn it! This old man is ruining my clay art!" Deidara cursed.

"Are you regretting your decision now, 'Five Five Three'?" Scorpion said indifferently, "You shouldn't have attacked the Four-Tails Jinchuriki before. Otherwise, how could we have ended up in this situation?"

"Master Scorpion, have you forgotten that you also agreed?"

Deidara yelled, "If Kakuzu hadn't died, why would the leader have sent us out on bounty missions to earn money? When we encountered the Jinchūriki, I just suggested we just capture him so we wouldn't have to continue doing money-making missions. Didn't Master Scorpion complain that making money was a waste of time, so he agreed?"

Scorpion of the Red Sand did not refute, but said: "So, your clay art is not good, so let me do it."

As he spoke, a gun barrel suddenly extended from the puppet's mouth, and the next second a beam of high-pressure water shot out from the gun barrel, hitting Lao Zi directly. When the water met the magma, it evaporated madly, making a non-stop sizzling sound, and Lao Zi was completely submerged in the surging steam.

Deidara was almost angry when he heard Scorpion say that his art was not good, but when he saw that the high-pressure water column was indeed more effective than his bomb, he remained silent for a while.

He thought it was not that his clay bombs were ineffective, but that the clay bombs did not work well when encountering lava.

Water can still control magma. No one has ever seen anyone using a bomb to blow up magma, right?

"Ahem! You really have some skills!"

Lao Zi's voice came from the steam, but before the steam dissipated, a huge ape emerged from the steam, and its huge body gave people a strong sense of oppression in the air.

It is the complete form of Four-Tailed Son Goku!

Deidara was drunk: "Hey, hey, hey! Master Scorpion! You pissed him off with your splash, and now he's activated his Tailed Beast State!"

Scorpion of the Red Sand said decisively: "We are not suitable to deal with him. Lava Release is too troublesome. It is better to let Kisame do it. We are unlikely to catch him now. Let's retreat first."

Deidara didn't even want to refute, and controlled the clay bird to fly away.

But Lao Zi didn't want them to leave: "None of you can leave! All of you, come and die!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and condensed the Tailed Beast Ball in front of his big mouth. The tremendous energy made Deidara's face a little stiff. No matter how powerful his clay explosion art was, it seemed that it could not explode the Tailed Beast Ball.

Bang! The Tailed Beast Ball flew out, instantly submerging the Clay Bird.

Moreover, the Tailed Beast Ball continued to move forward, and after a few seconds it exploded in the distant mountains and forests, instantly sweeping across a large area, scaring the birds and beasts within a radius of more than ten miles and causing them to flee in all directions.

"He released the Tailed Beast Ball as soon as he disagreed with something. Old Purple has a bit of a bad temper!"

After watching such a good show, Xia Mu regretted not bringing any melon seeds.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the two men were nowhere to be seen, as if they had been blown to ashes. However, Xia Mu could clearly see that the two men had already used substitution techniques to escape, and were not touched by the Tailed Beast Ball at all.

After the show, Xia Mu also planned to leave.

However, at this moment, Heitu and Chitu, who heard the noise, also rushed over and recognized the four tails.

"Is it Lao Zi? Why is he here? Who is he fighting with?" Heitu and Chitu couldn't help but scream.

"Huh? You two...Oonoki's granddaughter and apprentice?!"

Old Purple left Iwagakure in his early years, when Kurotsuchi and Akagi were still young, and he never expected to see them again. However, thinking of Ohnoki, Old Purple was very unhappy.

So he cursed, "Little girl, is your grandfather Ohnoki still alive? He taught me such a good apprentice! That brat Deidara actually attacked me and rebelled against him!"

Kurotsuchi couldn't help but get angry when he heard the first half of the sentence, but was shocked when he heard the second half: "You saw Deidara?!"

Lao Zi was even more upset: "What Deidara? That brat is already a traitor, and he still dares to provoke me. I just fired a tailed beast ball at him. I'm not sure whether he is dead or alive, but there is no body anyway!"

Kurotsuchi's eyes were red: "How could you do this! Deidara, he is, he is..."

But she couldn't say what for a long time. She couldn't say that he was her childhood sweetheart and good senior brother, so he couldn't be killed... But Deidara was definitely a traitor, and he even attacked the Jinchuriki, and the Jinchuriki just fought back. What could she say?

She could only pray that her Didarago was lucky enough to survive.

Xia Mu didn't continue watching and just dodged away using Flying Thunder God.

First, he went to a deserted area, quickly wrote a piece of information, sent it to Tsunade using Flying Thunder God, and then continued to follow Deidara and the others.

His mission this time is to determine the location of Akatsuki's headquarters, so he can't go back yet.

However, the fact that the Akatsuki organization attacked the Jinchūriki of the Iwagakure Village was a serious matter and naturally had to be reported.

What Natsuki didn't know was that Tsunade convened a meeting of senior executives as soon as she received the information and highlighted the threat posed by the Akatsuki organization.

The two elders, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, even threatened that once they found the Akatsuki organization's headquarters, they should take the initiative to wipe it out.

After all, Akatsuki's target is the Jinchūriki, so it's not a good idea to be on guard all the time. It's better to concentrate the forces to completely eliminate the threat and avoid worrying about it.

However, the strength of Akatsuki is still uncertain.

The three groups that have appeared so far are all extremely powerful. It is completely unclear whether there are more powerful people and how strong the leaders are.

With so much 1.4 intelligence unclear, taking the initiative to attack is obviously reckless, or even stupid. Obviously, the two old Dengs don't have to fight themselves, so they are talking without any worries.

After a debate, there was no result, and Tsunade was not in a position to make a decision on her own.

This matter is of great importance, and even if she is the Hokage, she dare not act rashly. Moreover, she actually has no idea of ​​a good solution, so she can only hope for collective wisdom.

After the meeting, she called Tiantian over and gave Xia Mu a note.

It was already evening by then, and the sudden appearance of the note left Xia Mu speechless. He secretly complained that Tsunade was too inefficient and had only replied now.

And the reply is even more speechless:

Continue surveillance and find Akatsuki's base camp.

So you guys have been in a meeting for so long, and in the end you came up with this, isn't it the same as not having a meeting at all?

Chapter 202 Returning to the Village (Today also has 30,000 words)

Xia Mu didn't bother to pay attention and continued his slacking off journey.

But what Natsuki didn't expect was that Deidara and Sasori had no intention of returning to the Land of Rain. They kept wandering around doing bounty missions, as if they had completely taken over Kakuzu's role.

Xia Mu followed him for two months.

Fortunately, he entered the Gravity Training Room on time every day, and his daily training plan was not delayed at all. As for the special laboratory on the first of each month, even if there were no new research projects at the moment, it was not wasted. Instead, it was fully developed into various moves, mainly the three bloodline limit moves of Storm Release, Wood Release, and Magnetic Release.

After two months, Xia Mu could clearly feel the improvement in his strength.

As for whether it has reached the super shadow level, it is really hard to say. You have to fight with a real super shadow to know.

However, the only Super Shadow currently seems to be Tendo Pain, but now is not the time to confront him. As for others, such as Uchiha Obito, this guy probably doesn't actually have Super Shadow strength, but is just relying on Kamui to do whatever he wants. He can't even open Susanoo, so he's not that strong.

Of course, Xia Mu had no intention of underestimating Uchiha Obito, and he was also very wary of the bug-like move Kamui.

　21 It seems that I need to develop some techniques to counter Kamui, otherwise it will be very troublesome to face this madman in the future.

On this day, Deidara and Sasori suddenly headed south and finally entered the Land of Rain.

Xia Mu thought about it and did not rush in. Instead, he created a shadow clone and asked the shadow clone to change into the appearance of another person, and let the shadow clone continue to follow him into the Rain Country.

But the real body hid away first, not wanting to be discovered by Tendo Pain.

After the shadow clone entered the Rain Country, rain immediately hit him in the face. It was difficult to understand how the Rain Country, with its geographical environment, could have continuous rain all year round.

But don’t try to understand the things in the second dimension, because even this world is distorted anyway.

When the shadow clone was planning to look for Deidara and Scorpion, it suddenly felt a figure appear in the gloomy sky, and the shadow clone exploded the next second.

Xia Mu's real body received the memory of the shadow clone and immediately used Flying Thunder God to dodge away.

Today, the Rain Country has been completely closed. Any suspicious elements that sneak into the country and are caught in the rain will be sensed by Pain's Rain Tiger Freedom Technique and then eliminated immediately.

That's why Xia Mu didn't rush in, but sent a shadow clone to test the waters.

As expected, Pain is really strong.

In the sky of the Rain Land, Tendo Pain looked puzzled.

"Shadow clones? Did someone follow Deidara into the Land of Rain? Or is someone specifically investigating the Land of Rain? Well, no matter who it is, no matter what conspiracy it is, it means nothing in front of God!"

On this side, Xia Mu flashed to a safe place and couldn't help yawning.

Now we should be able to go back.

Although he had known for a long time that Akatsuki's headquarters was in the Land of Rain, knowing was one thing and having evidence was another, so he couldn't make up a story.

Plus, he didn't really want to go back to the village for the time being.
