The Land of Rain.

Perennial rains have kept the country shrouded in clouds, the climate is humid and cold, and bright sunshine is rarely seen.

Also because of the extremely bad weather, foreigners and even caravans are reluctant to come to the Country of Rain, and the latter itself is closed to the country.

It can be said that the outside world has very little knowledge of the Kingdom of Rain.

At most, they know that the country is severely divided and has been fighting for years. The ninja village it belongs to is Amegakure Village, and its leader is Sanshouyu Hanzo, who is known as the "demigod" in the ninja world.

However, there are exceptions.

Orochimaru, for example, is very familiar with the Land of Rain.

After all, whether it was the origin of the name Sannin, or his later role as the commander-in-chief of the battle line, and the experience of fighting against the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja here, he knew this place very well.

Just knowing each other does not mean that he likes this country where it rains all year round and there is no light.

Secretly following Konan, Scorpion, and Beiruhu all the way, although he roughly guessed the destination of the former from the beginning, when he actually arrived here, Orochimaru still licked his lips with his long and thin tongue.

‘Sansho Fish Hanzo!’

When he thought of this man who had given him the title of Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru's golden vertical eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

I don’t know how this man is doing now?

I had heard before that since the end of the war in the Kingdom of Rain, the other party has been hiding in a tightly defended fortress and rarely goes out.

Orochimaru originally thought that this old guy had reached his age and was ready to wait for death.

Looking at it now, maybe the other party has some conspiracy secretly!

Right now, an organization called "Akatsuki" is constantly recruiting S-class rebel ninjas, and the plan must be big.

Its member Xiaonan is from the Kingdom of Rain, and the Akatsuki organization is based in the Kingdom of Rain.

Orochimaru didn't believe it if he said that Sansho Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village, had nothing to do with it.

"Things are getting more and more interesting!"

Noticing that Konan and his party were heading towards the Hidden Rain Village at an unabated speed, Orochimaru's curiosity became more intense.

He, who thinks he has the best ability to save his own life, will not miss such interesting things when he has nothing to do.

"Perhaps, this time I can say hello to an old friend."

Orochimaru smiled excitedly, and then his whole body turned into a water snake, following it along the rivers and lakes that are most abundant in the Land of Rain.

Half an hour later.

The Yuyin Village with its large number of steel spiers becomes increasingly clear in the rain curtain.

Orochimaru, who easily passed through the security force outside the Amegakure Village and arrived at the village, took it out from the mouth of the water snake. When he was about to use the disguise technique to better explore the Amegakure Village, his face suddenly changed as his whole body was being beaten by the rain.

Change.

"There seems to be something wrong with this rain..."

Although the rain falling from the sky seemed very ordinary, Orochimaru, a scientific research geek and one of the best in chakra research, immediately noticed something was wrong.

Soon, I saw his snake-like long bloody tongue sticking out, getting some rainwater and then retracting it.

After feeling the taste of rain in his mouth, Orochimaru finally said with certainty:

"The smell of chakra! So this rain is not caused by nature, but by man-made... magic!"

Then, he raised his head and looked at the heavy rain that enveloped the entire Yuyin Village, and said with great interest: "Very good detective skills. Also, what a huge amount of chakra!"

It’s hard to imagine that someone could continuously perform such a wide range of techniques.

Are there such people in Yuyin Village?

Or was it the work of the mysterious Akatsuki organization?

Orochimaru didn't think too much. The master of the current technique undoubtedly discovered him, so this interesting action was interrupted here. He quickly left and disappeared in the Rain Hidden Village.

At the same time, in the tallest spire of Yuyin Village, Tiandao Pain, who was performing the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique and taking in everything in the village, opened his reincarnation eyes, walked to the top terrace, and looked down calmly.

Everything below.

"What's wrong?"

On the side, Uchiha Obito, who saw Payne's sudden behavior, asked curiously.

"Someone broke into the Hidden Rain Village. It looks like he is Orochimaru, one of the Sannin of Konoha." Pain said directly.

Payne still has fresh memories of the man who was as cold as a snake and wanted him, Yahiko, as soon as they met.

"Orochimaru? Didn't it mean that he died in the hands of the Fourth Hokage a few years ago?" Uchiha Obito said in surprise.

Knowing how ridiculously powerful the Fourth Hokage was, it was hard for him to believe that Orochimaru could escape from the former.

"It's indeed him," Payne said calmly.

Only such a person can quickly see through his Rain Tiger Freedom Technique and disappear into Yuyin Village in a short period of time, even if he cannot find the other party for a while.

Hearing Pain's affirmation, Uchiha Obito no longer struggled with the authenticity of Orochimaru's fake corpse, and immediately suggested: "In that case, we can take this opportunity to invite Orochimaru to join the Akatsuki organization."

With the Fourth Hokage as a huge threat, Uchiha Obito naturally hopes that the power he can gather on his side will be as strong as possible.

Payne nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Bygones are bygones.

Now he claims to act with "godly" thinking and will not care about the minor contradictions in the past.

At a time when the Akatsuki organization is in need of talents, Orochimaru, who came on his own initiative, is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

"But before that, we have to fight first. After all, it is difficult to persuade such a person verbally. Payne, do you need my help?" Uchiha Obito asked.

Payne refused: "No, I can just take action myself. Besides, Orochimaru has disappeared now, so we have to wait."

"Orochimaru escaped the Rain Tiger Free Technique?" Uchiha Obito said in surprise.

He still knows a lot about the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique.

Even if he didn't know the technique beforehand, he couldn't discover the special characteristics of rainwater at all.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru realized something was wrong so quickly.

So he is worthy of being one of the Sannin of Konoha.

Uchiha Obito shook his head slightly in his heart.

Although he has a lot of ninjutsu knowledge left behind by Madara, there is still a lot of gap between him and those veteran strong men in terms of background.

It is not easy to maintain the character of "Uchiha Madara".

Even so, he also knew that Payne had always had doubts about his identity.

If I didn't constantly impart some knowledge about the Samsara Eye, Heretic Golems, etc., or even the secrets of the ninja world that I had never heard of to stabilize the other party, it would be difficult to guarantee that the other party would not do anything when the doubts deepened.

At this moment, Pain, who didn't know what Uchiha Obito was thinking, didn't care about Orochimaru's disappearance.

His eyes turned to Xiaonan and the other three who had returned from their mission.

The latter entered Amegakure Village with his front foot, and Orochimaru followed him with his rear foot.

If there is no connection, it is absolutely impossible.

"You don't have to look for it. Orochimaru will naturally come to your door later." After Payne finished speaking, he turned and left.

Next, he has to go meet the new members of the Akatsuki organization.

Uchiha Obito, who is now just a non-staff member and has no intention of joining in immediately, did not follow.

Looking at Payne's leaving figure, his eyes were full of contemplation.

.......

In the hall inside the tower, Payne, who had received the letter from Xiaonan in advance, was not surprised by the unplanned arrival of Beiliuhu.

After the two parties met, not to mention how surprised Xie and Bei Liuhu were when they saw the real leader of the Akatsuki organization, especially the latter's pair of purple spiral eyes.

Pain said concisely and concisely: "Welcome to join the Akatsuki organization. I am Pain, the leader of Akatsuki. From now on, you, the Scorpion of Red Sand, will be the Jade Girl of Akatsuki, and you, Beiliuhu, will be the Suzaku of Akatsuki."

After saying that, Payne took out the ring engraved with "jade" and "zhu" and handed it to the two of them. After giving some necessary instructions, he added: "Right now, the Akatsuki organization is still dormant and will occasionally do some bounty tasks. Big

You can make your own arrangements most of the time, and the organization will not interfere."

"Sounds pretty good. If possible, I would really like to spend my time on my own research. I wonder if there are enough materials and venues here?" Bei Liuhu asked as he took the ring.

Now that his strength has been greatly reduced, he will not go back to Mount Sumeru out of caution.

Being able to protect this seemingly powerful Akatsuki organization is the best choice.

Payne, who knew Bei Liuhu's ability, complied with his request and said: "Yes, if you have any requirements, submit a report in time and the organization will satisfy you."

Beiliuhu's joining, regardless of his personal strength, will undoubtedly be of great help to him who possesses the beast path.
