Even against the newly debuted Yahiko and his two companions, they would not underestimate them in the slightest; they would fight with all their might, just as a lion would fight a rabbit.

It was precisely this personality trait that led Hanzo of the Salamander to adopt a relatively closed-off policy after the Second Shinobi World War in order to reduce the chaos in the Land of Rain and minimize the influence of neighboring countries.

"Lord Hanzo? Hmm, he's even more cowardly than a ninja."

In the darkness, Kiyoshi's mocking voice rang out.

"Be careful, there are enemies!"

"Damn it, this place is two kilometers away, how did he get here without anyone noticing?"

"Maybe they're not in the same group as the ninjas in front, but some other ninjas who came here."

"Calm down everyone!"

Jie Naihan threw several flashlights on the ground as a light source.

Raindrops pattered onto the flashlight, slowly sliding off.

drop.

Ripples spread across the small puddle.

Jie Naihan formed a hand seal and suddenly threw the umbrella in his hand towards Qing Si.

Puff puff!

Countless books flew out from the umbrella ribs, densely shooting towards Qing Si.

Ninja Art: A Thousand Books of Rain and Dew!

"Earth Release: Earth Pillar Explosion".

Kiyoshi formed a hand seal, and a thunderous explosion resounded from the ground, the resulting shockwave sending all the senbon flying.

Rumble…

The air explosion on the ground formed a straight line, continuously heading towards the Rain Village ninja.

Kiyoshi's appearance also allowed others to see the family crest on his body.

"It's the Uchiha!"

"Ah! My legs!"

The rain-hidden ninja was instantly paralyzed from the waist down by the explosion, and his breathing gradually weakened.

"With a little more practice, the entry for Earth Release Jonin will be mine."

Based on the scale of the project, Qing Si gained a sense of his current level of proficiency.

This ninjutsu was part of a deal with Samui.

"Bury you here."

Kiyoshi had no interest in interacting with the group of ninjas; the delicate Mikoto was waiting for him.

After forming the hand seal again, he punched the damp soil.

boom.

Under the influence of Earth Release chakra, the ground shattered into countless pieces of fine yellow sand, which rolled up in waves like ocean tides.

Earth Release: Earth and Rock Flow.

Kiyoshi's hand seals were formed so quickly that the Rain Village ninjas couldn't react at all.

After hearing the sound of fine sand rubbing together, my whole body was buried in the sand.

Any ninjutsu will become much more powerful when supported by a large amount of chakra.

With the added benefits of Kiyoshi's chakra control and Earth Release ninjutsu, the quicksand swirled around their bodies like waves, leaving them no time to form hand seals.

Finally, it was swept deep underground and crushed by the weight of the earth.

The next moment, Kiyoshi's figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Mikoto leaned gently against the tree trunk, as raindrops slid down the tall canopy, shimmering like silver threads in the night.

The embers of the campfire illuminated her gentle face, flickering in and out, as if she were breathing in sync with the sound of the rain.

Her hand was still raised to the air, as if she were trying to grab someone, looking lost and bewildered.

After a while, just as she was about to reach her hand back, a familiar, warm hand grabbed hers.

"Mikoto, I'm back."

Kiyoshi's voice rang in her ears. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kiyoshi suddenly appear in front of her, holding her hand.

The thin black lining was soaked by the rain, revealing the outline of his strong muscles. The hem of the shirt clung to his legs, which only accentuated his tall and straight figure.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing a few cool strands to flutter in Qing Si's hair, bringing with them the damp scent of earth soaked by rain.

"Mikoto, I'm back."

Mikoto, seeing Kiyoshi suddenly appear, disregarded the fact that she was holding hands with him and quickly asked:

"It's nothing."

"It's nothing, just a bunch of ninjas from the Land of Rain. I took care of them all."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

The round trip took less than thirty seconds, and most of the time I only managed to catch a few words of their conversation.

"Why won't you let me go? It's the duty of the Jonin leading the team."

"What if Mikoto catches a cold from all this coming and going?"

“My sister isn’t that fragile.”

Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Mikoto's lips curled up slightly.

She was clearly pleased with Kiyoshi's statement, but she quickly suppressed that smile.

Her gentle, pretty face tightened slightly, and she said seriously:

"Don't make decisions on your own in the future. We are companions, and even more so, we are our clansmen."

Mikoto's words carried a hint of reproach.

What if something happens to Kiyoshi?

"Got it, Mikoto-san."

Kiyoshi knew that Mikoto was concerned about him, so he didn't bring up the matter again. He leaned slightly closer to Mikoto, maintaining the same posture where the two of them were leaning against each other.

In the gray night, the firelight flickered beside the two, casting orange-yellow spots on the wet mud.

Mikoto quietly raised her eyes and looked at Kiyoshi through the misty rain.

His eyes were slightly lowered, and a few glistening drops clung to his long eyelashes.

Mikoto gently leaned close to Kiyoshi's shoulder, feeling the warmth spreading from his chest, and all the chill in her heart dissipated.

The night passed quickly.

After Kiyoshi and Mikoto quickly washed up, they woke up Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.

I won't be able to get to the agreed location until this evening, so it's best to go earlier.

After tidying up, the group continued on their way.

……

"Thank you so much to everyone in Konoha this time."

Upon arriving at a village, Shennong spoke to Mikoto.

"This is our duty."

Mikoto's expression was flat.

The employer pays the ninja, and the ninja completes the mission.

This is a very equitable job.

"Everyone from Konoha, why don't you stay here for the night?"

Shennong pointed to the sky, saying that after a day's journey, night had fallen.

The difference this time was that they arrived at a village with many houses.

Seeing Mikoto nod after hesitating, Shennong smiled.

Let's start reviving Zero-Tail from here.

Kiyoshi, who had been observing Shennong, caught this hint of a smile, but remained unmoved.

"You must be Shennong, the physician."

While the group paused briefly, a group of people dressed in black robes walked in.

Their robes were clearly specially designed, with a long red line on the left side where there was an opening.

He wore a grayish-white waist armor, tied with a white cloth belt.

"I am Shennong."

Shennong smiled kindly and went to talk to the person in front of him.

The leader was an orange-haired boy.

Behind him, besides a group of black-haired ninjas, there was also a red-haired boy and a blue-haired girl.

Kiyoshi recognized them at a glance.

Akatsuki!

Akatsuki is still in its early stages, an ordinary mercenary organization whose initial goal is to achieve peace, change the country, and build a bridge of hope to world peace through communication between people.

Chapter 263 First Encounter with Konan, the Richest Woman in the Ninja World!

This is a group of typical idealists, genuinely thinking about saving the country.

However, this will inevitably attract many awakened people to join Akatsuki, affecting Hanzo's rule.

From that moment on, it was destined that Akatsuki and Amegakure would have a battle. In the original story, Obito took advantage of Yahiko's death to bewitch Nagato.

In the end, Akatsuki became an evil organization composed of S-rank rogue ninja from various countries.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, her short blue hair swaying in the evening breeze, tied up in a hairpin shape at the back, with a pale blue paper flower on her right side.

She inexplicably felt that Kiyoshi was staring at her.

"I'm just curious who you are."

Qingsi spoke.

At this time, Konan still seemed quite young, about five or six years younger than Minato Namikaze's generation.

What Kiyoshi was concerned about was how well Konan had improved her "explosive tag" making skills.

In the battle between Konan and Obito, Konan used the "God's Paper Technique" to disguise 600 billion "explosive tags" as a sea, which then exploded all at once.

This power is unparalleled in the entire ninja world.

In the entire ninja world, apart from Konan, no one else can replicate such behavior or possess such resources.

The essence of the "explosive tag" is to seal the "fire" element into a talisman, which is a piece of paper engraved with a sealing technique.

Moreover, they are expensive to produce, and ordinary ninjas would not use many "explosive tags".

Even a ninja village like the Flame Village in the Land of Mountains, which can mass-produce "explosive tags," cannot do this.

The entire ninja world, including all ninjas, that is, those who are currently employed, retired, newly enrolled, members of different schools, rogue ninjas, etc.

It is estimated that the number will not exceed 600,000.

The concept of 600 billion is that each person possesses more than one million explosive tags, enough to cause the entire ninja market to collapse.

Therefore, no country could produce so many "explosive tags," and no one has the money to buy so many. The Akatsuki organization is no exception.
