(The timeline of the Akatsuki organization in this book is based on the version of the game "Naruto: Ultimate Storm" ninja drama "Akatsuki Creation". That is, Nagato officially started recruiting members of the Akatsuki organization after he killed Sansho Hanzo.

There are still two years left at this point.)

The itching sensation caused by the wound woke Yiyong from his deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a wooden vaulted ceiling covered with vines.

White rose flowers hang on it like white clouds dotting the sky, some are scattered in a corner, and some bloom together.

As for the light source here, it is the big hole on the other side of the roof.

The rare sunshine in the Land of Rain pours in from there. Where the light shines, the vines that break through the floor look particularly strong.

"hiss……"

Yiyong propped himself up with his elbows and looked around, but saw no one else.

The last thing he did before losing consciousness was to use the second type of water wheel to bring himself and Hydrangea to the river. Then he used Water Release: Wave Ride Strike and floated down the waves with Hydrangea.

Traveling at that speed, even if the rain ninja who went to pursue Nobujuro came back in time, it would be impossible to find where they were going.

Although it was a bit risky, Yiyong was unable to use his legs at the time and could only make dangerous moves.

Now that he appeared in this strange house, but there was no Hydrangea, he was inevitably worried about her safety.

[Speaking of legs...]

Yiyong's eyes quickly moved down and he took off the black robe covering his body.

His shoulders, neck and head, which were directly hit by the ceiling, as well as his knees that were cracked due to weight and friction, were all carefully bandaged.

The gauze and bandage are very clean, and each has a piece of white paper pressed tightly against the connection point like Velcro. This treatment method is very special.

He focused his eyes and found that the gravel, sand and other foreign matter in the skin of the most injured knee had been removed, and the muscle tissue was slowly growing under the effect of the drug. This was why he was awakened by a numb and itchy feeling.

s reason.

Now that Giyuu has woken up, he can use the transparent world to control the nerves and blood vessels at the wound to connect and heal faster. I believe it will not take long to be intact. Of course, if he uses medical ninjutsu, his recovery speed will be even faster.

will be faster.

[Such a delicate bandage is unlikely to be made by Hydrangea. Now we must find her first...]

Yiyong carefully stood up from the floor.

In order not to stretch the affected area as much as possible, he looked like a mummy that had come back from the dead, and his movements looked stiff and funny.

After getting up, Yiyong noticed that he was lying on a huge frog jumpsuit, which was equivalent to his "mattress".

Judging from the dull, ointment-like color, no one has worn it for a long time.

In the shadows in the corner of the room, there are three smaller frog jumpsuits, half leaning against the wall, like three lazy children taking a nap.

[Someone has lived here. It seems that it should be someone else’s home, but it has been abandoned...]

Yiyong shook his head and stopped trying to figure out the whereabouts of the three owners of the trumpet frog suits.

He held on to the wall and moved forward little by little, because the door to exit was right in front. After walking outside, he was attracted by the three cards on the wall on the left hand side, and looked towards the light.

Two red cards, together with a card with a frog pattern on a white background, were hung on the wall with a strong rope.

There are three names written under the three cards, from left to right: Nagato, Yahiko and Konan.

Combined with the frog card above [Xiaonan]'s name, Yiyong roughly understood that these were the owners of the three children's frog suits.

[So, that large frog suit...]

He turned around with something in mind, and sure enough, he saw another frog card with a white background on the opposite wall.

The name below is "Jiraiya", which should be the adult who takes care of the three children.

[I seem to have heard this name from someone, it should be someone who wrote a book.]

Giyuu had some impressions of the word "Jiraiya". He thought about it but couldn't remember which book it was.

When I get back to Konoha, I can just go to the bookstore to verify it.

Thinking of this, Yiyong continued walking towards the door without stopping.

Through the gap in the cracked door, he had already seen the figure of Hydrangea squatting on the ground outside. The sound seemed to be that he was cleaning something. After confirming that the other party was still alive, Yiyong immediately felt relieved.

But before he could open the door and say hello, the sound of wind blowing through the pages of a book sounded above his head.

Yiyong raised his eyes and saw that a square piece of paper was clinging to the edge of the blasted hole in the roof. It was blown by the passing breeze, but he refused to fly out of the house. Unexpectedly

of tenacity.

The next moment, more identical square pieces of paper appeared at the entrance of the hole. First they were swirling as if they were blown up by the wind, and then they were intertwined and overlapped one by one, and the color gradually changed.

In less than five seconds, a purple-haired woman with huge paper wings hung above the entrance of the cave. This move was somewhat similar to Shisui and Itachi's Crow Clone Technique.

The woman had her back to the sun, and was dyed with a golden halo by the sunlight. Her pair of emotionless orange-red eyes looked condescendingly at Yiyong. The black robe she wore was exactly the same as the one that had been put on Yiyong before, but

Nothing special.

Neither of the two people, one big and one small, said anything.

The two pairs of extremely similar indifferent eyes showed no information that could be read or written - no hostility, no fear, no surprise, nothing. They were like two wooden men, competing to see who could not bear it first.

This silence.

But as we all know, when playing this kind of game, the only one who wins is the brave.

Three minutes later, the purple-haired woman's lip-studded mouth slightly tilted downwards, and her body slowly descended from the hole. The wings that were slightly in the way immediately turned into scattered papers adhering to her body.

.

"I heard from a person in the settlement that someone was looking for me everywhere, so I followed the clues to find him."

Her voice was also cold, as if she was deliberately trying to sound cold.

"Last night, I found you on a tree trunk in the river not far away, and brought you here nearby."

"..."

Yiyong looked at the bandages on his body and uttered two words: "Thank you."

"It's too early to say thank you."

The purple-haired woman's eyes became a little stern, and several square pieces of paper flew away from her and stuck to Yiyong's wrists and knees.

Yiyong did not dodge, but felt that the two pieces of paper on his wrist were extremely tight against his skin, even to the point of oppression.

"When a person lies, his or her pulse changes. I can read your pulse through the paper. If you let me know that you are lying..."

She made several seals with her hands, and the two pieces of paper stuck to Yiyong's knees immediately had the word "explosion" added to them.

Shisui had reminded Giyuu that he should be careful of three things in the Land of Rain - poison, detonating talisman and teleportation technique. Now he is really more and more impressed by the first two of them.

Seeing that Yiyong had no intention of asking questions or begging for mercy, the purple-haired woman simply asked directly.

"Did you kill the Sansho Koga?"

While searching along the way, she saw the body of Sansho Koga cut in half, and heard Hydrangea's later description.

However, when she saw the injuries all over Jiyong's body, she really couldn't believe that it was such a child, in this physical condition, who had defeated one of the strongest ninjas in the Land of Rain——

He didn't even have time to use the psychic and teleportation techniques that the other party was good at.

"Um."

Yiyong nodded calmly.

The reason why he chose to stay at that time was partly because of the situation.

On the other hand, it was Hydrangea's declaration of revenge that made him decide to completely eliminate the initiator of this transplant experiment.

Less than two months after this transplant experiment started, the Sansho Fish Koga has already killed more people than the ordinary Skeleton Ghost kills in a year. Giyuu can no longer wait for the next opportunity. In addition, if Hydrangea

He will want revenge, and other children will inevitably have the same thoughts. It is better for him to clean up this nightmare so that they can get out of the shadow of this tragedy as soon as possible.

"Who sent you to kill him?"

"no one."

"Which country are you a ninja from?"

"I'm not a ninja. The country can't say that."

We cannot talk about the country and the Ninja Village. This is what Shisui emphasized, in order to avoid political friction.

The woman frowned.

She was not satisfied with this answer, but Yiyong's pulse was completely the same as before.

A child who can endure the pain caused by such an injury and can kill three jonin at the same time in a desperate situation must have gone through quite rigorous training, so there is a high probability that he is a genius ninja from a certain great ninja village.

This is also the reason why she is so defensive about the righteous hero even after she clearly helped him.

"Why did you go to find Sansho Koga, and why did you take away the other children?"

"I was looking for my missing friends and found them there by the way. As for rescuing them, weren't you doing the same thing?"

Yiyong retorted and asked, "You are the 'angel' they call you. You go around distributing food to the settlements in the Land of Rain, right?"

From the moment he saw the pair of wings, he already knew the identity of this woman.
