Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

He thought the villagers' question was very strange. He wasn't wearing a Rain Ninja forehead protector, so why did they think he was a ninja from the Ninja Clan?

"Ninjas who are generally willing to help and don't ask for money are probably ninjas from the Ninja Clan." The villager answered honestly.

Recently he heard that some ninjas from the Shinobi Sect had come to the north, and considering Lao Zi's performance, he thought that Lao Zi might be a ninja from the Shinobi Sect.

"Where are the ninjas from Rain Village?" asked Lao Zi.

Compared to the Ninja Clan, he felt that the Rain Village was the force that maintained order in the Rain Country.

After all, Rain Village was a ninja village established in the early days of the village, while the Ninja Clan was a new ninja force that was established not long ago.

The villagers looked at each other and no one spoke.

Although no one answered, this is still an answer.

Lao Zi didn't ask any more questions. He created a shadow clone and carried the four wandering ninjas away.

After walking a distance away from Shirakawa Village, kill the four stray ninjas and then continue forward.

"Sosuke, Ninja Clan..."

Chapter 594 The Sage of Six Paths Really Exists

Lao Zi walked all the way south.

Although he was not familiar with the Rain Country, his initial motivation was to come and see Sosuke, and it was impossible for him not to investigate the location of the Ninja Clan.

However, due to his experience in Shirakawa Village, Lao Zi slowed down his pace.

He did not use the ninja's super fast marching speed to rush to Liudao Castle in the southern part of the Rain Country, but used Liudao Castle as the final stop and moved forward slowly like a traveler on a slow-paced tour.

This is a very novel experience for Lao Zi.

In the past, he was either practicing or on missions, so he had no time to travel.

The most important thing is that people here don't look at Lao Zi strangely. If he helps the village drive away stray ninjas, he will receive sincere gratitude. In the town, he can eat in any restaurant and no one will care about him.

Such a life may be a daily routine for ordinary people, but for Lao Zi, this was a goal he had not achieved when he left the Iwagakure Village.

Lao Zi truly feels that his current life can be called happy.

Even though he had been spending the nights in the wild in order not to disturb the residents of the villages and towns, even though he could not show his true face in order to avoid being pursued by the Iwagakure.

"Identity is a good thing." Lao Zi put down his chopsticks after lunch and sighed in his heart.

He is a man with the ability to think, and after careful consideration, he figured out the reason.

In the eyes of the people of the Rain Country, he is just an unknown ninja without any other special identity, so he can be appreciated normally and enjoy the life of an ordinary person normally.

In the Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village, he is the Jinchūriki, and the tailed beast symbolizing evil and destruction is in his body.

If the people of Shirakawa Village knew that he was the Jinchūriki, would they still thank him so sincerely and invite him to visit their homes?

Lao Zi didn’t know, he wasn’t sure.

"Don't think too much, just live happily now." Four-Tailed said with a heroic laugh.

"You didn't volunteer to become a Jinchūriki. If you want to blame someone, blame those who used our tailed beasts as weapons."

At this point, Siwei couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

These tailed beasts do not fight or compete with each other, but live quietly in remote corners of the ninja world. They have never taken the initiative to provoke the ninjas. They were captured by the ninjas inexplicably and sealed into the bodies of the jinchūriki.

Not to mention that the Jinchūriki were not voluntary, even the tailed beasts were not voluntary.

Lao Zi nodded, stood up and went to pay the bill.

He was just expressing his emotion a little bit. His life now was much better than in Iwagakure anyway.

The freedom alone is far superior to Iwagakure.

After walking out of the hotel, Lao Zi casually glanced at the street and noticed a few ninjas dressed in Iwagakure costumes, but he didn't care and continued walking south with a calm look on his face.

Ordinary Iwagakure ninjas have no way of seeing through his transformation technique. As for the perception ninjas, there are too few of them, so unless one is extremely unlucky, one will probably not encounter any of them.

Ōnoki could guess that Lazumi Murasaki would not take the initiative to reveal the identity of the Jinchūriki, and Lazumi Murasaki also knew that Ōnoki did not dare to send out Iwagakure ninjas to search on a large scale.

After all, during the war, if Iwagakure suddenly made a big move, the other major ninja villages would definitely investigate. If they found out that it was the Jinchuriki who ran away, the consequences would not be what Ōnoki wanted to see.

The three Iwagakure ninjas walked slowly on the street, carefully looking at every pedestrian on the street.

Some people felt uncomfortable, but when they saw the forehead protector on the Iwagakure ninja's head, they finally gave up.

How could ordinary people afford to offend ninjas? These are the top ninjas. The ninjas from the five major ninja villages are even more difficult to offend.

They also saw Lao Zi using the transformation technique, but Lao Zi behaved no different from an ordinary passerby, so they ignored him.

Occasionally, when I see someone behaving suspiciously, I will find a reason to approach and question them.

However, Lao Zi discovered something strange. The further south he went, the more Iwagakure he encountered on the road, which made Lao Zi feel a little strange.

"Could it be that they used some secret technique to lock onto my whereabouts?" Lao Zi wondered.

There are so many strange and bizarre secret ninjutsu in the ninja world, and Lao Zi is not sure whether the Iwagakure Village has a secret ninjutsu with such an effect.

In the afternoon, as it was time for dinner and Lao Zi had no dry food on him, he spent money to find a villager who was willing to eat and have dinner at his home.

When he was about to move forward, he suddenly saw a group of Iwagakure ninjas confronting two red-haired boys not far away. One of the red-haired boys was wearing a forehead protector from the Rain Country.

When faced with a wandering ninja robbing villagers, Lao Zi will help without hesitation.

But if it is an internal conflict between ninjas, Lao Zi generally has no interest in getting involved.

In Lao Zi's eyes, ninjas who are able to kill innocent people and rob innocent people of their property are hopeless ninjas, and they can do no wrong no matter how they beat or kill them.

There are too many and complicated reasons for conflicts between ninjas. It could be due to the positions between villages, conflicts in missions, or personal grudges.

In this situation, it is easy for him to do bad things with good intentions.

Moreover, ninjas are equal to each other, and Lao Zi is not a true messenger of justice, so he doesn't have to mediate every problem.

Lao Zi wanted to change the route to avoid the conflict, but at this moment, Lao Zi remembered his experiences in the Rainy Land.

Because he acted decisively and did not ask for any reward, he helped two villages in total, and both times he was mistaken for a ninja from the Ninja Clan.

This made Lao Zi particularly interested in the Ninja Sect. He saw that the red-haired ninja's dress did not look like a ninja from the Rain Village, so he might be a ninja from the Ninja Sect.

"Let's go and listen to what they are talking about first." Lao Zi thought to himself.

In order to avoid being discovered, Lao Zi found an empty corner and used earth escape to sneak underground, quietly arriving near Nagato and the others.

"Your actions of the Iwagakure have affected the lives of the people of the Rain Country. The Ninja Clan demands an explanation." Nagato said seriously to the Iwagakure ninjas in front of him.

Although Iwagakure's actions were not big, they were particularly eye-catching for the Ninja Clan, which was working hard to build a peaceful and harmonious Rain Country.

"Nagato, we have nothing to say. You are also a ninja, you should understand us. Leaking the mission is an act of treason against the village." The leading Iwagakure jonin replied in a deep voice.

They were not ninjas sent by Ōnoki to the Land of Rain specifically to look for Lao Murasaki, but ninjas trained by the Ninja Clan.

Since they had trained in the Ninja Clan for some time, they were familiar with Nagato, so they did not use a threatening tone, but simply pointed out their own difficulties.

The main reason is that he can't win if a conflict arises. Nagato is not a soft persimmon. He is a powerful ninja who is known as the number one genius in the ninja world.

“You don’t need to give an immediate answer. You can convey the Ninja Clan’s intentions to the Iwagakure Village.

The Ninja Clan has a cooperation with the Iwagakure Village to train ninjas, and you are one of them. You know the Ninja Clan's attitude towards cooperation, and we don't want this incident to affect the relationship between the two sides. "Nagato continued.

The top leaders of the Ninja Clan have discussed that if Iwagakure does not give a reasonable explanation and continues to disrupt the stability of the Rain Country, then they will terminate their cooperation with Iwagakure.

Nagato fully agreed with this decision. The Ninja Clan had worked so hard for the peace and stability of the Rain Country for so long. If they were to be cowardly and not dare to intervene just because the other party was one of the five major ninja villages, then all previous efforts would be in vain.

The Small Ninja Village never dared to provoke the Rain Country. The reason why the Rain Country became like this was because the five major countries regarded the Rain Country as a battlefield for wrestling.

If we tolerate Iwagakure's behavior now, we may have to tolerate Konoha in the future, and then tolerate Sandagakure again. By that time, there will be no peace and stability in the Rain Country.

"It turns out that the village has such cooperation with the Ninja Clan." Lao Zi, who was eavesdropping underground, was a little surprised.

No wonder there were more and more Iwagakure ninjas as he headed south.

Lao Zi guessed that it was Oonoki who issued the mission to the Iwagakure who were receiving training from the Ninja Clan to find him.

If Lao Zi was Ōnoki, he probably wouldn't let his subordinates train with peace of mind at this time. The impact of stopping training for a month is definitely not as great as the loss of the Jinchūriki.

"I will report this to the higher-ups." The leading Iwagakure jonin replied.

Now that it involves the Ninja Clan, he really has no choice but to report it.

On the one hand, the Ninja Clan has cooperation with Iwagakure, and on the other hand, the Ninja Clan's high-end combat power is not weak, so they cannot make any waves in the Rain Country at Iwagakure.

In fact, the Iwagakure Jonin himself has a good impression of the Ninja Clan and hopes that the Iwagakure Village can continue to cooperate with the Ninja Clan.

Because the teaching quality of the Ninja Clan is very high, he really feels that studying here can effectively improve his strength.

However, the matter involved this time is too big, and the Iwagakure jonin has no right to decide anything.

After saying that, the Iwagakure Jonin took the other Iwagakure away.

Lao Zi originally wanted to wait for Nagato and the others to leave and then drill out of the ground directly, but for some reason Nagato stood there for ten minutes without moving.

"Come out, no need to hide anymore." Nagato said calmly to the ground.

Nagato has a strong perception ability. He had long ago sensed that there was a powerful chakra nearby that he had never sensed before.

When Lao Zi used the earth escape technique to sneak up on him, Nagato became extremely alert and was ready to take action at any time.

If it weren't for Iwagakure's presence, Nagato would have taken action long ago because he was worried about accidents.

Lao Zi, who was about to use earth escape to escape somewhere else, was a little surprised. "They found me, is it a sensory ninja?"

Lao Zi thought for a moment, then rushed out of the ground and stood five meters away from Nagato.

Iwagakure had been gone for ten minutes and with the speed of a ninja, they had already run very far and there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, his purpose of coming to the Land of Rain was to meet Sosuke. Since he wanted to meet Sosuke, meeting the ninjas of the Shinobi Clan was inevitable.

Lao Zi looked at Nagato and Sasori, and Nagato also stared at Lao Zi with his Rinnegan.

With the help of the Rinnegan, the disguise of Lao Zi's transformation technique was useless, and Nagato immediately saw Lao Zi's true appearance.

"Such powerful chakra, no, it seems different from ordinary chakra, is this his chakra?" Nagato didn't know Lao Zi, but was shocked by the chakra in his body.

It was the first time he had seen so much and so powerful chakra.

Nagato took a half step forward and protected Scorpion behind him.

Scorpion is still in a sealed state, unable to use chakra, and needs his protection.

Scorpion was very self-aware and quickly took two steps back.

From the beginning he was holding him and not letting him go, and now he was doing this, it was obvious that his opponent was not simple.

"These eyes!" The four tails in Lao Zi's body made an extremely shocked sound.

He actually saw the same eyes as Hagoromo in this ninja named Nagato.

"What's wrong with his eyes? They seem to be different from ordinary people's eyes." Lao Zi asked puzzledly.

As for special eyes, he only knew about Konoha's Byakugan and Sharingan.

"His eyes are exactly the same as the Six Paths Sage's eyes," the Four-Tails replied.

"Six Paths Sage? Have you seen the Six Paths Sage? I thought it was just a myth." Lao Zi was a little surprised.

There are many legends about the Six Paths Sage. One of the most famous legends is the legend of the Six Paths Sage's creation of the world. In this legend, the ninja world was created by the Six Paths Sage.

Compared to ordinary people, ninjas can be considered superhumans, but there are limits to a ninja's strength. With the terrifying destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball, it can only destroy a mountain at most.

Creation is more difficult than destruction, so he believes that the Sage of Six Paths is just a fictional mythological character.

"Of course not, I once lived with the Sage of Six Paths for a period of time." Four-Tails shook his head.

Compared to the Four-Tail's long life, the time it spent with the Sage of Six Paths was very short, but the memory was so beautiful that the Four-Tail still remembers it.

To him, that memory was more important than the memory of living alone for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Seeing Siwei showing an expression he had never had before, Lao Zi discovered a problem. Siwei knew him very well, but he didn't know Siwei that well.

This was a matter of course, because before that great battle, he was unwilling to even call the Four-Tails by its name.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to the Land of Rain? Why are you eavesdropping on my conversation with the Iwagakure ninja?" Nagato saw that Lao Zi didn't say anything, stared at Lao Zi and asked.
