______________________________________
Konoha 40 years, April.
Mount Miaomu.
Towering trees, unbelievably large stone statues and mushrooms are the characteristic landscape here.
The sound of frogs and insects is endless, giving people a strong sense of vitality.
"Xiao Shuimen, next I want to tell you something about Xianshu."
One of the two great sages of Mount Miaomu, Fukasaku Sage, said seriously to the blond boy sitting in front of him.
The blond boy is Konoha ninja Namikaze Minato.
As a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, he naturally signed a psychic contract with Mount Miaomu, and he can choose to practice immortal arts that are more powerful than ninjutsu at Mount Miaomu.
Minato had longed for the art of immortality for a long time, so when Sensei Fukasaku said this, his expression was extremely solemn.
"yes."
"The so-called celestial art is to fuse the chakras you cultivated with the natural energy absorbed from the outside world to form a unique celestial chakra system. Once cultivated successfully, celestial arts can increase illusion, ninjutsu, and body arts by several times or even more than ten times. You should know something about natural energy, right?"
"Yes, Teacher Jiraiya has already told me about natural energy."
Minato replied.
"That's good. If you want to practice immortality, you must learn to perceive natural energy. But don't underestimate the perception of natural energy. Some people can't reach the first stage of perceiving natural energy after ten or ten years. It is very difficult for you humans to perceive natural energy."
Immortal Fukasaku knew that Minato's talent was very high, but since ancient times, more than 95% of the human beings who came to Mount Miaomu to practice celestial arts ended in failure.
"That is to say, Shen Zuo is an immortal. Immortal art is a method that is known and difficult to practice, right?"
"That's right. So when you humans are practicing fairy arts in Mount Miaomu, you will take some assistance. This is toad oil. Applying this on your body can strengthen your perception of natural energy."
Immortal Fukasaku pointed to the oil pond next to him and said.
"I see."
Minato couldn't wait to enter the cultivation stage of immortal art.
"By the way, Immortal Fukasaku, where did Teacher Jiraiya go? After coming here, I haven't seen anyone else."
Before Minato learned the art of immortality, he thought of something and asked.
"Little Ziraiya? He went to the Elder's place."
Sensei Fukasaku answered Minato's question.
Compared to Minato, Jiraiya has been practicing immortal arts for many years. However, due to lack of effort and limited talent, he is still in the initial stage of only being able to perceive natural energy.
Even at this stage, Jiraiya's ability to perceive natural energy is not effective every time.
To be honest, Sensei Fukasaku almost wanted to give up on Jiraiya, the idiot student.
Fortunately, he has accepted a disciple with even better talent. He believes that with Minato's talent, the success rate of practicing immortal arts will be much higher than that of Master Jiraiya.
The most important thing is that Minato is a single-minded person, and he will never lose sight of important training.
"Is the big toad a fairy?"
Minato looked at the shockingly large building in the distance.
His teacher was there since he came, communicating with the ruler of Mount Miaomu, the Great Toad Immortal.
"A few years ago, the elder made a prophecy about the future of the ninja world. Xiao Zilai also seemed to be full of confidence, but his heart had actually become very impatient."
After all, it is a huge event that involves the entire ninja world, and Konoha naturally cannot avoid that terrible future. To Jiraiya, Konoha is a village that is more important than his own life and needs to be protected.
He will definitely not allow that kind of thing to happen.
Immortal Fusaku has lived for nearly a thousand years, and has long since turned his back on the world.
Minato wisely didn't ask what the prophecy was. For him, it was too early to know such a thing.
Even if asked, Immortal Fusaku might not answer his question.
His purpose of coming to Mount Miaomu at this moment is only to get in touch with the first stage of fairy arts and prepare for the perfect cultivation of fairy arts in the future.

The country of rain.
The rain fell like a torrent, covering up the hustle and bustle of the world.
A group of people walked under the rain curtain, and could only hear the sound of torrential rain and the icy chill brought by the rain.
They passed by a village that had been dilapidated for a long time, and saw many dead bodies on the side of the road.
There are men and women, old people and children waiting to be fed. They either starved to death or were frozen to death.
A group of skinny wild dogs gathered around and bit the corpses. Then they whimpered a few times and fell down too.
Why was this village destroyed, and by whom.
This kind of truth has long been unknown.
Because of this kind of cruelty, it is happening every moment in the Land of Rain.
It might be a passing ninja from a big country, or a wandering ninja from outside, or a bandit.
In short, there are simply too many possibilities.
If you really want to investigate the truth, you will get nothing more than these types of answers.
"No matter how you look at it, it's like hell on earth..."
One of them said.
Passing through many places along the way, the impression of this country is that the economy is depressed, internal chaos, bandits and bandits are rampant, and the people are displaced.
Desperate. cry.
pain. sad.
It's like an unstoppable virus, raging arbitrarily in this country, ruthlessly harvesting lives.
"There's no way, this small country, even if the war has been away for six or seven years, it's impossible to recover... Rather, after the war, this kind of chaos has not diminished at all."
"The 'little girl' oppressed by a big country, lingering on the ground in naked clothes..."
One of them showed a wry smile.
Many years ago, he was also a member of this country.
To be honest, even as a former member of this country, he still hates this country and the system here.
Every day there are people fighting, killing, looting, and dying here.
"Speaking of which, what is our indicator for coming here?"
"Xiao."
"Ah, that rookie organization that has become very famous in the Land of Rain recently. I heard that they want to liberate the Land of Rain and achieve real peace."
One showed appreciation.
"They are just so-called wild bulls now. Although they are young people with beautiful dreams, they underestimate the cruelty of this ninja world. But no matter what, their will is worthy of recognition, and their dreams are also very good. To absorb Akatsuki into our organization is an order given to us by the leader."
The leading ninja didn't wear a forehead protector, but a pair of sharp eyes had penetrated through layers of rain and saw the person they were looking for not far away.
Across this dilapidated village, which was like a purgatory on earth, a few people walked towards the front, a path built around the mountain, and walked towards the bare mountain top.
They were wearing coir raincoats tied with straw to keep out the wind and rain, and light yellow hats, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
"We found them."
"Hurry up and finish the task. The organization is in urgent need of fresh blood. After Xiao, there will be others to recruit."
Halfway up the mountain, seven or eight people gathered to rest in the cave.
They are an organization called 'Xiao'.
It was established in the Land of Rain two years ago. The ninjas in the organization are also ninjas from the Land of Rain, but they are not affiliated with the Hidden Rain Village official.
The members of this organization are mainly young people in their teens and twenties.
They freely talk about their beautiful dreams for the future in the organization. They want to change this crying country and bring real peace to this country.
But it is by no means an easy task to end the various domestic turmoil caused by the war.
Even Hanzo of Yuyin Village doesn't have this ability.
Because the opening battlefield of the Second Ninja World War was set in the Land of Rain, the country's economy has not recovered so far, and it is even worse than a few years ago.
Furthermore, they also have to consider living problems and solve basic food and clothing.
They are determined to change the country, so they must lead by example and not burn, kill, or loot.
So I can only look for the residents of the Land of Rain who need help. However, due to the economic downturn in the country, those residents give very little rewards, and sometimes the rewards are only a few steamed buns.
But Xiao's people did not refuse because of this.
They always take the cheapest income and do the hardest work.
There is already too much darkness in this country, and it is good to bring a little bit of warmth and light.
"Yahiko, we have run out of ammunition and food now, when will we have a mission?"
A member of Akatsuki cried miserably to the leader—a boy named Yahiko who was only in his teens.
"You people, listen carefully. The so-called ninjas must not only learn to endure pain, but also endure hunger. What is mere hunger? Look at me, I don't feel hunger at all."
After finishing speaking, the boy named Yahiko's stomach growled louder than the others.
Yahiko immediately blushed.
The rest of the people laughed loudly, and the somewhat tragic atmosphere was dispelled a lot.
It's not that they really can't persevere. After all, when Xiaochu was built, it was much more difficult than this kind of predicament.
At least they still have a skill now, they have gained a reputation, and they can help their country more.
One day, there will be sunshine after the rain.
All of them firmly believed that that day would come.
This country will be illuminated by light.
This belief taught them to be strong and patient. When the time comes, their knowledge will definitely resound throughout the world and truly change this impoverished country.
Let the people here no longer be insensitive, no longer suffering, no longer shed tears.
Just hungry...
Immediately, stomach growling sounds rose and fell in the cave.
"Brother Yahiko is right. A ninja must endure everything. Mere hunger is nothing!"
"oh!"
The rest of the people agreed and got along happily.
A cute girl with blue hair was making origami, looking at this group of companions who were all pretending to be smiling, she also smiled.
Sitting silently in a remote place, the unobtrusive red-haired boy also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Changing this country and bringing real peace is not only their dream, but also their mission in life.
No matter how poor and miserable this country is, it is still their motherland.
They will never abandon this country.
No matter how painful the days are, there will be a day when you will get over it.
Just as they were talking and laughing, footsteps came into the cave.
Akatsuki's ninjas all looked serious and looked towards the entrance of the cave.
He was able to approach this place silently, and it was only discovered now... No, it must be the sound of footsteps that were exposed on purpose.
The person here is very powerful.
There were five people standing at the entrance of the cave.
Wearing a coir raincoat that smelled of rain, and a wet hat, with only his eyes exposed, he looked at Xiaozhong Ninja silently.
"Who are you?"
As the leader, Yahiko took the initiative to stand up, showing a hearty smile, as if he did not show any hostility because of the strange aura on the five people.
"Are you the leader of Akatsuki?"
Ninja, the leader of the five, asked softly.
He took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing an unfamiliar male face, about thirty years old, with withered white hair.
"Yes. I am Akatsuki's leader, Yahiko."
Yahiko observed the white-haired ninja. There was no trace of aura in his body, and his strength was well hidden.
Very strong.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
The white-haired ninja smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner.
Yahiko was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking him.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, may I ask if you are..."
"Just call me Worm Man."
Worm Man, what a weird name. Yahiko didn't know whether to complain or not.
"Mr. Insect Man came to see us for something?"
"Yes, we want to obtain the power of your Xiao."
The worm man directly explained his purpose of coming, his eyes were very solemn, and he did not hide anything.
Yahiko and the rest of Akatsuki were stunned.
"You can tell...it means..."
A Xiao ninja frowned and asked.
"The five of us belong to an organization. The leader of our organization is very interested in you, Xiao, after learning about what you have done in the Land of Rain, so we invite you, Xiao, to join the organization."
After a short silence, Yahiko shook his head, smiled politely and said: "Sorry, we, Akatsuki, have no intention of joining other organizations."
Akatsuki's other ninjas also nodded, agreeing with Yahiko's point of view.
From the very beginning, they were required to join an organization whose details were unknown. No matter how you looked at it, things were full of abnormalities.
"Don't you want to hear about our conditions?"
Zong Nan didn't think that Xiao would submit to him just by speaking out loud.
"condition?"
"Yes. The leader knows that you want to change this impoverished country. He will give you weapons and food, and even quell the chaos in this country."
"Then what do we need to pay?"
"Because the organization's base is not in the Country of Rain, after joining, you need to temporarily leave the Country of Rain and come back at the right time to reform the country. At that time, you can mobilize the organization's armed forces, food, and even more resources. I can assure you of this."
Zong Nan acted like he was doing business, without the slightest personal emotion.
It's just expressing the original meaning of the order issued by the leader of their organization.
"Although it is very attractive, please forgive us for rejecting it. We will not abandon this country."
Yahiko said categorically.
"It's not for you to abandon the Land of Rain, but for you to go to our organization to learn advanced technology and important ideas, and then bring them back to change this impoverished country."
"That's no different from abandoning. Now is the time when the country needs us the most, and we won't leave."
After Yahiko finished speaking, he just stared at Zong Nan.
After being silent for a minute, the worm man smiled wryly, and sighed, "Well, everyone has their own aspirations, and we won't force them. These are treated as greetings."
With that said, he took out a scroll and put it on the ground.
"This is?"
"There are some food and winter supplies sealed inside. I know you don't want to accept other people's charity, but remember, this is not charity. It's not our organization's public funds, it's my personal support to you."
Yahiko looked at Chongnan in surprise.
Looking at the torrential rain outside, Zong Man sighed faintly: "I used to be a member of this country, but I was also a member of the organization, so I can't act emotionally. Therefore, this is not my charity to you, but just a trivial return to my past motherland."
Yahiko and the others were slightly moved.
Yahiko took a step forward and said, "In this case, then join us, let's change this country together."
After Yahiko finished speaking, Zongnan and the other four looked at Yahiko, their eyes revealing the meaning of rejection.
The worm man pondered for a while and said: "Although your dreams are good, I don't think you have the power to change this country. You haven't realized what the core essence of the matter is... let's stop here. We should go too, there are other tasks to do."
The worm man turned around and planned to leave.
"etc!"
Yahiko called him to stop.
"What else is there?"
"Who is your leader?"
Yahiko asked seriously.
The worm man paused, smiled and said, "I can't tell you his real name. If you have a chance to meet our leader, you can just call him 'Doctor'."
After finishing speaking, he left here with his four companions, leaving everyone in Xiaozhi with astonished faces.
doctor?
who is it?
I've never heard of such a character in the ninja world.
"Hide the code name?"
Yahiko stroked his chin and thought.
Obviously, this is not a person's name, but a code name used internally by his own people.
Then, Yahiko picked up the scroll left by the worm man, and the rest of the people also looked curious.
Then Yahiko spread out the scroll, and after checking that there was no problem, he unlocked the spell on it.
They saw sealed heavy wooden boxes, about a dozen of them.
After opening one of them, I was stunned by the full amount of food inside, and began to swallow my saliva.
Not just food, but also many medicines and excellent ninja tools.
For their Xiao, this is undoubtedly a timely help.
"Brother Yahiko, how do you want to distribute it?"
"Take part of it, and distribute the rest to those who cannot afford to eat."
Yahiko also covets these grains, but compared to them, there are more people who need these supplies to survive this year.
The rest of the people didn't object. They were used to this kind of hard life. If they wanted to enjoy happiness, they would have left this country long ago and went to other countries to find a stable job. There is absolutely no problem with food and clothing.

After separating from Akatsuki, the five of them went down the mountain along the circular road.
The five people on the road didn't say a word. Although they had expected that Xiao's people would most likely not join their organization, they still felt a lot of regret.
They also want to change this country, but they can't do anything with their passion alone.
Moreover, it is far from enough to make this country peaceful.
Peace is only the foundation of development.
Akatsuki's power is too fragile.
I hope they can understand this truth after being beaten to death by the hammer of reality.
They have done everything they can to help here.
"They will distribute most of the supplies to the people of the Land of Rain."
One of them broke the silence.
"Ah, a temporary charity can't change anything. After this year, what will they do next year? They haven't realized what they really need to change this country. Compared to checking and filling the gaps in the current Rain Country, what they need is to sink their hearts into learning and awaken the numb hearts of the people of the Rain Country, rather than indulge in temporary charity and compassion."
The worm man exhaled, and issued a ruthless sentence.
"A country that depends on the pity and charity of others will not become rich and strong. It will only get weaker and weaker, and the people will become weaker and weaker. Now their vision and their limit are here."
Several people communicated while walking.
Suddenly one of them stopped abruptly, stretched out his fist and smashed the rock wall next to him. With a scream, a strange humanoid creature whose whole body seemed to be covered in white paint was pulled out of the wall by him, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com brutally, and strangled him by the throat.
"You bastard, you were able to find me—"
The white humanoid creature looked at the ninja who dragged himself out of the rock wall in amazement and strangled him by the throat like lightning.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a click, his throat was crushed, and he died.
"What's this?"
"Who knows, he has been monitoring us before... No, the guy monitoring Akatsuki is Akatsuki's enemy?"
The male ninja who dragged the white creature out of the rock wall was not sure about the identity of this strange humanoid creature.
"It doesn't look like normal human beings. Transformed humans? It's similar to some of the doctor's modified creatures, but this life force is much stronger than ordinary people, and it still remains in the body after death..."
The worm man squatted down, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Take it back and show it to the doctor. He has always been interested in this kind of weird creature that seems to transform humans."
Insect Man's opinion got the nod of the other four people.
At this moment, the land in front of him began to rise abruptly. It was a protruding object that looked like a human head, with a pair of black eyes that looked like black holes.
A pale golden light emerged from the eyes of the black hole, which was not dazzling.
The sticky mouth and the head are all made of mud, and there is a deep and thick sound coming from the mouth.
The five people saw that this even weirder clay creature did not show fear, but knelt down on one knee and saluted the creature.
Its exposed head is just a part of a complete creature.
The worm man smiled, and said to the clay figure in front of him, "Long time no see, Your Excellency, General Earth. Does the doctor have any new orders?"
