404 Encounter.
It has been three days since the tailed beast peeled off the seal.
Nandou stood in the rain and felt the tranquility of this moment. He really liked the rain. The raindrops hit the eaves, like a strange music.
Hearing the sound of rain can make people relax.
"Someone sneaked into the Land of Rain, in the East Street Tavern." A figure wearing a red cloud-black windbreaker walked out of the rain curtain.
"I understand." Nandou frowned slightly. He didn't like anyone to disturb him.
But the person who came is the boss of the Akatsuki organization and one of Nagato's substitutes Tiandao.
The beast path is responsible for sealing the tailed beast, and the other six Paths of Payne can move freely.
...
In the East Street Tavern of Rain Country, Kakashi, Itachi and Izumi sneaked in with the Hell Butterfly.
Izumi did not have a psychic contract with the Midbutton clan of Xiaomeng Valley, but she had the memory of Bailing. After Nandou left Konoha Village, she found Xiaomeng Valley again according to her memory, and then signed a psychic contract with her.
The Hell Butterfly can sense the aura of the contractor, so the Kakashi trio came to the Land of Rain.
There are only a few people in the cold tavern.
"Why did Nandou come to the Kingdom of Rain?" Kakashi looked around and found that not many people were paying attention to them, so he asked in a low voice.
"Hell Butterfly can't be mistaken." Izumi said affirmatively.
"He's here."
Dingling!
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and the doorbell remembered it. A figure wearing a red cloud and a black windbreaker and a hat walked in.
"So it's you."
Nandou snapped his fingers with a snap, and everyone in the tavern fell asleep.
"Nandou, I finally found you..." A hint of joy flashed in Quanmi's eyes, and she stood up and prepared to run towards Nandou.
Kakashi was surprisingly calm at this time, and he quickly reached out to block Izumi.
Izumi frowned, but saw Itachi shook her head slightly and signaling her to look quietly.
Kakashi's approach is very correct. First, we need to determine whether Nandou is himself, and secondly, we need to determine whether Nandou is the former Nandou.
"There is a problem." Kakashi looked at Nandou seriously.
Nandou raised his eyebrows without saying a word, he was waiting for Kakashi to say the rest.
"How should we face you now? Can we still regard you as a companion who can be entrusted to the back?" Kakashi could see that Nandou was acting according to his will.
He can't tell whether Nandou is an enemy or a friend now.
"The answer to this question depends on you."
“Depending on us?”
"That's right, it depends on you." Nandou sat down in the seat, poured himself a glass of water, and then spoke quietly.
"You think I am a companion, then I am a companion."
"Is that so? Can you explain why it appears here?"
Kakashi felt a little relieved, but he did not relax his vigilance. After all, this is an exclusive rain country.
They are unpopular intruders, and the appearance of Nandou is so swaying that it is likely to have something to do with Yu Ninju Village.
"I recently joined an organization called Akira, so I'm here!"
"Xiao? A mercenary-like organization?"
Kakashi has heard a little about Akatsuki, but he is not very concerned about it.
"The boss knew someone was invading, so let me deal with you." Nandou spread his hands helplessly and expressed his position.
In fact, he was secretly telling Kakashi a message.
Someone invaded the base of the representative Akatsuki organization in Rainland, and asked him to solve the problem that the representative Kakashi and others were discovered.
Kakashi had such an IQ that he understood the hidden meaning in Nandou dialect almost instantly.
"It seems that this battle is inevitable."
“That’s right.”
Swallowing!
The shuriken broke through the air, and the strong wind roared, and Nandou avoided Kakashi's sudden move.
At this moment, Nandou glanced at a figure that had appeared in front of him from the corner of his eyes.
"Close-body fighting technique?" Nandou raised his eyebrows slightly. Did Kakashi think he was the little guy who just joined the team?
Buzz!
The pupil power of the Eternal Eye suddenly overflowed, and the powerful mental power directly impacted Kakashi's mind.
Kakashi's body was swept out with a whip and stiffened, as if he had lost consciousness. His consciousness was immersed in the desolate world, and the earth was like a swamp and had nowhere to focus.
Gululu...
Kakashi's body sank into the swamp bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye it was completely swallowed by the endless swamp.
"Teacher Kakashi?"
Bang!
Nandou's body sank. With his short body, he easily avoided Kakashi's whip legs, and at the same time kicked out Kakashi's other foot standing on the ground.
Kakashi's body broke through the sky, Nandou rotated with a side kick and hit Kakashi in the chest.
Clang!
Kakashi's body smashed into the bar counter like a cannonball, and the wall shook.
"Leaving here, this is not what you should come here." Nandou put away the smile on his face and said coldly.
"Let me be with you and I'll stay." Izumi suddenly said.
Nandou frowned slightly, and he looked at Izumi strangely. For some reason, he felt that Izumi had changed. Chakra was colder than before, but his eyes were softer than before.
On the other side, Itachi stood up with Kakashi.
Kakashi coughed, his face pale, his eyes sank while covering his chest.
At least three internal bones were broken, and this kid's strength was as strong as flying day by day.
"Although I don't know what you want to do, I will support you." Izumi took a step forward and stood in front of Nandou without any warning.
"Izumi, don't go over!" Kakashi couldn't help but change his face when he saw this and he quickly shouted.
"You..." Nandou opened his mouth, and seeing Izumi's eyes made him think of someone, someone who was about to remember.
"If you want to say that my strength is too weak..."
Izumi took a deep breath, and then chakra condensed into her eyes. Two three-sided fan-shaped kaleidoscopes appeared in her scarlet pupils.
Maneidoscope Sharingan!
"Are you cheating?" Nandou subconsciously said what he said in his heart.
I couldn’t use Sharingan two months ago, but I was a marleidoscope all at once?
I wonder how long it took his Sharingan to evolve from a guekuyu to a marleidoscope? Is it a full ten years?
"I'll stay." Izumi said again.
"Didn't you say that the boss asked you to solve the intruders? If we let us go like this, it would be difficult for you to do it, right?"
"I will stay as a prisoner and let them go."
"Izumi!" Kakashi walked out of the ruins with a anxious look on his face. He didn't need his companions to save himself with his life.
Itachi stood aside with a calm expression on his face, and he did not say a word or make another move from beginning to end.
In his perception, everything Nandou does is meaningful.
Since Nandou left the village and joined the so-called Akatsuki organization, there must be his reason.
As for what this reason is, maybe it is not time to say it out yet.
"You really want to follow me?" Nandou frowned slightly and looked at Quanmi for no reason. He could see the seriousness in Quanmi's eyes.
This little girl is not kidding...
"Yes." Izumi replied firmly.
"Oh well!"
