บท 91: chapter 91 Sun vs. God (3/5)
Chapter 91 Sun vs. God (3/5)
Amegakure Village looks majestic, mainly because of its unusually tall vertical structure.
But after walking around for a while, Kyojuro roughly guessed that the actual area of the island in the middle of the lake was actually less than 1/3 of Konoha, and the population density was even more incomparable.
Along the way, Kyojuro met many enthusiastic "acquaintances" without surprise.
But because of Konan's high status, not everyone dared to approach and say hello to Kyojuro.
But when they found Kyojuro, Konan saw the excited expression and tears in their eyes, and became more sure of her previous thoughts - she must keep this child.
After leaving the not-busy commercial street, the two came to the high tower in the center of the village.
Kyojuro had good eyesight and immediately saw the body hanging on the top of the tower, letting the crows rest on it, and then he stopped where he was.
This sense of déjà vu reminded him of the people of the Kingdom of Rain who were hanged from trees by the Rain Ninja in the past.
At least in terms of style, the two are highly unified.
But this corpse was even more miserable. The gray-brown ribs were exposed to the rain, and the right hand was missing, as if it had been chopped off.
"What's wrong?"
Konan suddenly stopped when she heard the footsteps behind her, and turned around in confusion.
When she followed Kyojuro's line of sight, she couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.
She remembered - although Rengoku Kyojuro had an outstanding record, and among the characters he defeated, there were many close men around Sanshouo no Hanzo, but he had never killed anyone, he just made it impossible for those guys to continue hurting others.
The visual impact of the scene in front of him might be a bit too much for Kyojuro.
Apparently, she had no idea what demons could do.
"That's Sanshouo no Hanzo."
Konan explained as coldly as possible, and Kyojuro slowly turned his gaze back.
"If he died too easily, it would not be able to make up for the damage he caused to this country. Hanging him there is also to remind those ninjas who long to return to the Hanzo era not to have unrealistic delusions. "
After capturing Amegakure, Pain bloodbathed Hanzo's relatives and completely eradicated his cronies, but most of the Amegakure ninjas who surrendered survived.
These Amegakure ninjas were temporarily untrustworthy, but now they are idle.
After Konan completed the investigation, they were convinced that they could keep the secrets here before they could be used with confidence.
Hanzo's corpse is undoubtedly a threat to these people, making them dare not act rashly even after losing their privileges.
"I know! "
Kyojuro said noncommittally: "Please move on. "
When Kibutsuji Muzan was being punished at the bottom of the Hell, Shinazugawa Sanemi often sneaked over from the underworld to see his misfortune, and then came back to tell others about it. Although not everyone wants to know the current situation of Kibutsuji Muzan., but after listening to it, They feel a sense of emotional release.
For the civilians in this country who have been under the shadow of Hanzo for a long time, just seeing Hanzo's body hanging there can also make them feel relieved.
Although Kyojuro did not approve of this cruel approach, he could understand it.
However, this behavior also exposed it to a certain extent that Hanzo's reign of terror was also inherited to a certain extent.
Today if Hanzo can be hung up, anyone may be hung up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
After all, in addition to showing strength, the leader of Amegakure must also have the purpose of promoting fear.
If you want to stabilize a chaotic place, fear is not the best, but It must be the fastest-acting method.
And any coercive measure that can bring about quick feedback will gradually make people with power and strength addicted.
Since he can suppress everything with violence and terror, why should he bother to find other methods?
But if things continue like this...
"..."
Seeing that Kyojuro didn't say anything, Konan was very satisfied with the child's sense of proportion.
She and Pain had differences in how to treat Hanzo.
She did not approve of continuing this style of creating terror from the beginning, because this is definitely not what Yahiko would do. What Yahiko yearns for is a "completely different" Rain Country.
Therefore, after defeating Hanzo, Konan's idea was that it would be enough to publicly execute him in front of the residents of Amegakure Village to let people know that Hanzo is dead; as for his family and relatives, they can be liquidated according to their respective actions, and they can play their part as much as possible. For example, how to manage a village of thousands of people? They, the latecomers, have no experience at all, and it is very necessary to make use of the waste.
However, Nagato's hatred for Hanzo was too unforgettable, and he directly bloodbathed all the top leaders of Amegakure.
In addition, Thanks to "Madara" and Zetsu fanning, as well as the later praise from Sasori and Kakuzu, Hanzo's body has been hanging to this day.
Kyojuro doesn't hide his emotions very much, and Konan can tell that he doesn't approve, but what about him? I didn't say anything.
This attitude may be just right before you get to know Nagato.
[After all, he can no longer listen to any objections...]
[These two people should get along well.]
Konan is a little worried Entering the open-air elevator room of the high tower.
After pressing the button, the two of them rose higher and higher amidst the rumbling sound of mechanical operation and the sound of metal friction that sounded like birdsong. The other buildings outside shrouded in hazy mist became increasingly... The short, occasionally walking figures gradually became ethereal.
At any rate, she occasionally went downstairs, but Pain always stood at a high place, looking down at the village through this layer of mist...
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't see the truth of Konoha with a crystal ball. Can you really see it clearly from standing here?
"Dang!"
At about the height of the twelfth or third floor of an ordinary building, the elevator slowly stopped.
Directly opposite the elevator door is a thick door with a black background and red clouds. In the dim light, it looks like the closing bloody mouth of a ferocious beast.
[Why is it so spooky? ]
The nine-tailed chakra in Kyojuro's body cursed.
[The old man is not the kind of person who is shady. ]
Kyojuro also feels the same way. But he doesn't want to judge others based on first impressions.
But to be honest, if the red cloud on the door turned into a red crescent moon and said that this was the hiding place of Kibutsuji Muzan and Twelve Kizuki, Kyojuro would also believe it.
"This is the headquarters of Akatsuki."
Konan led Kyojuro a few steps forward, and the door opened silently, revealing a dark and deep corridor.
"Let's go, don't keep Pain waiting too long."
[Kurama, have you heard of the name "Pain"? ]
Kyojuro meditated silently in the corridor, but he started to communicate with Kyuubi in his heart.
The interior of this building is not within the coverage of Rain Tiger at Will Technique, so it can be detected by Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
He could clearly feel that he was approaching a very powerful individual.
The feeling the other party gave him was much stronger than that of the Third Hokage and Tsunade.
The reason why Kyojuro used the term "individual" instead of "life" to describe it was because he detected that the chakra in the opponent's body was a ball of stagnant water, and there was no manufacturing process like that of a living person.
It was like cotton stuffed into a rag doll, but it was very different from the puppets of the Kingdom of Wind that he had seen outside.
[I have not heard of it. It's a strange name, very different from the old man. ]
Kyuubi is in a state of complete concentration - not only the part in Kyojuro's body, but also the body of Kyuubi far away in Konoha, is also trying its best to maintain contact with this side.
He must see clearly what kind of person this guy with old man eyes is!
The footsteps of Kyojuro and Konan gradually began to echo, and the two entered an empty room that looked like a church hall.
There are ten low red seats in the center of the hall, which are arranged in a circle around the light beam cast from the skylight of the dome, but the rest of the hall is completely in darkness, looking mysterious and depressing.
[Ten seats, is it because there are ten people in this organization? ]
Kyojuro stopped outside the circle of seats at Konan's signal.
"Pain, we're here."
Konan's voice echoed in the darkness.
Rengoku Kyojuro saw the powerful individual he had detected quietly emerge from the shadow behind a red seat.
To his surprise, although this young man with short flowing orange hair had the same circled eyes, he was definitely not the same person he met and fought with last time.
This was his first time meeting this handsome-looking man.
He felt an uneasy stirring in his abdomen, and immediately turned his consciousness away.
[Yes! ]
Kyuubi shouted excitedly: [It is indeed the old man's eyes that are right! But why... I always feel that these eyes feel very familiar. ]
Before Kyojuro could ask further questions, it added maliciously: [It's so familiar that it makes people feel sick. ]
[nausea? ]
Kyojuro is somewhat aware of Kyuubi's limited vocabulary.
When referring to Naruto, his mother, and Uzumaki Mito, Kyuubi usually uses the words "evil" and "hateful".
Only when quarreling with Giyu, Kyuubi would use "disgusting" to describe the eyes of Giyu and all Uchiha people.
Kyojuro once asked Kyuubi why he hated Uchiha so much, but maybe it was because of something embarrassing, Kyuubi didn't say anything clearly.
But this time, it actually used the same word to describe the man in front of it.
Kyojuro was sure of at least one thing - Pain's eyes were probably not dug out from the body of the Sage of Six Paths and then installed.
After all, every time he mentioned the Sage of Six Paths, although Kyuubi occasionally complained, he was generally full of respect and nostalgia.
If Pain's eyes belonged to the Sage of Six Paths himself, it wouldn't have this attitude.
[Most likely, the person in front of me is the descendant of that "god". ]
Sure enough, as if to confirm his guess, when Pain came to Kyojuro expressionlessly, Konan immediately started the introduction session.
"This is Pain, the 'leader' of Akatsuki and the 'god' of the Land of Rain."
"This is the Rengoku Kyojuro we have been looking for."
Then there was a brief silence that spread in the darkness.
"Nice to meet you! I am Rengoku Kyojuro!"
A loud voice radiated from Kyojuro's chest, and the whole space seemed to immediately become brighter.
He extended his right hand to Pain, but Pain had no intention of holding it.
His emotionless eyes scanned Kyojuro coldly, and it took him a long time to utter a sentence: "For a person of this age, you are too powerful."
Although Kyojuro is tall, his age cannot be concealed from Pain with Rinnegan.
The last time Kyojuro came, he was a clone, and he thought that kyojuro was at least twelve years old. But now that he saw his true form, Pain realized that he was terribly wrong.
The child was only about ten years old.
He had the Rinnegan, and when he was ten years old, he had just learned a few C-level ninjutsu from Jiraiya.
Just when Konan thought that this sudden compliment was Pain's goodwill, she heard the other person's words immediately after.
"Except for the ninja villages of the five major countries, I don't believe that anyone else can cultivate a ninja like you."
The turbulent air flowed out of him without warning, pushing Konan two steps back. Konan panicked and suddenly shouted: "Pain!"
"Tell me, who sent you to the Kingdom of Rain?"
Pain did not make a move, but the circles under his eyes that suddenly shrank to the extreme looked extremely cold.
The golden-red circled eyes and the pale purple circled eyes looked at each other in the tense darkness, but Kyojuro was not nervous at all.
Neither he nor Kyuubi felt much malice from the other.
"You misunderstood, I am not a ninja!"
Kyojuro's first answer made Konan feel a little familiar - the boy named Giyu also said the same thing back then.
"I don't belong to any country! I'm here just because there are the most people who need my help!"
"If you ask me where I belong, I can only say that the Land of Rain is the starting point of my life in this world! "
This is the truth, so Kyojuro said it very calmly.
He was resurrected by Giyu in the fortress of the Kingdom of Rain.
Of course, when Konan and Pain heard this, they automatically translated it into "I was born in the Land of Rain."
Everyone knows what the starting point of life means.
This child, so tall and tall, speaks in a literary and artistic way, with all kinds of metaphors...
As if to testify for Kyojuro, Konan quickly added: "Pain, the group of children with poison sac, he was the one who rescued them back then. Since then, he has been active in the Kingdom of Rain!"
Sure enough, Pain's momentum calmed down.
It's not that Konan's words had any effect, but based on his observation, Kyojuro didn't lie.
Since he was a child of the Kingdom of Rain, he was one of his own, so he gave up the temptation and turned around to walk towards the circle of seats.
Konan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kyojuro with a hint of apology, but the latter just smiled at her, which immediately made her feel at ease.
Now that the temptation is over, it's time to get down to business.
The three of them formed an equilateral triangle, each sitting in a position, just like when they were discussing with "Madara" before.
"Since you are here in person, you must have agreed to my last invitation and decided to join 'Akatsuki'."
Pain sat upright, separated by the light beam in the middle, ready to start psychological construction activities for new employees.
Orochimaru and Sasori are attracted by their interests, but for such a child, perhaps Akatsuki's purpose can be exaggerated to a greater extent.
"But I still want to tell you in detail about Akatsuki's philosophy and ambitions, as well as the ultimate goal we want to achieve, which is-"
As his emotions gradually became fuller, Pain's voice became higher and higher, until After rising to the top of this empty room, it seemed as if sacred chants (bgm: ritual) suddenly sounded all around, just waiting for him to finish the last few words of this sentence.
"The world and..."
"Please wait a moment!"
Pain's emotions, which he had spent half an hour alone here brewing, were suddenly interrupted by a louder voice.
What he was about to say was like a cannonball stuck in the barrel and rolling back.
The look on his face when he looked at Kyojuro suddenly became very unpleasant.
Kyuubi could not help but feel a little nervous when he sensed this malicious intent.
It wanted to stop Kyojuro from talking, but it was already too late.
"You may have misunderstood something."
Kyojuro said loudly: "I am not here to join this organization, but to determine whether Amegakure Village is suitable for everyone to live in!"
"But frankly speaking, although it is just in After wandering around here for half an hour, I am…"
"Very disappointed!"
