"Chief, did you let them go on purpose?"
Seeing that Pain didn't speak for a long time, Hiruko stretched out and came to him slowly, looking cynical.
Pain nodded slightly, with a deep light in his eyes, and his voice was cold and mechanical, echoing in the silent rain curtain, as if with an unquestionable authority.
"Now is not the time to completely break with Konoha. Senju Tobirama cannot die here."
Hiruko shrugged, showing an indifferent expression, and did not ask again.
At this time, the rain was still pouring down, and the entire Land of Rain was shrouded in hazy water vapor.
There was water everywhere on the streets, and the rainwater hit the dilapidated houses, making a ticking sound, as if the city was groaning in pain.
"Konan, how is Zetsu's situation?"
After a while, Pain's eyes fell on Konan and continued to ask.
Konan frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and answered softly.
"If I didn't catch it, I should have gone to find Madara."
Pain nodded, without saying anything more, turned around and walked towards the direction of the tower. His figure looked a little lonely in the rain, but his steps were very firm, and there was a splash of water with every step.
Konan and Hiruko looked at each other, then followed Pain.
The figures of several people gradually blurred in the rain, and finally disappeared in the direction of the tower.
Inside the tower, the light was very dim. Only a few weak rays of light filtered in from the small windows high up, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.
Nagato was sitting on a slightly worn chair, staring blankly ahead, as if thinking about something.
Konan and Hiruko walked into the tower, and their footsteps sounded particularly loud in the silent environment.
"Nagato, what should we do next?"
Nagato was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Continue our plan, I still need a little time."
"However, Konoha has noticed our actions, and they will not just sit idly by." Konan said worriedly.
"Humph, what can Konoha do?" Hiruko snorted disdainfully, "We Akatsuki Organization are not vegetarians either. We dare to let them die if we dare to come."
At this time, Nagato frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, especially Uchiha Yan. I still can't understand his strength."
Hearing Uchiha Yan's name, a complicated look flashed in Konan's eyes.
"Konan, seal the Land of Rain border and don't allow anyone to enter or exit." Pain paused and continued to give instructions, "Land of Birds, Land of Waterfalls and Land of Lightning can also leave it alone for the time being."
Konan nodded, without any hesitation in response to Nagato's order, and said, "Okay!"
Then he turned around and walked out of the tower, spread out his snow-white paper wings, and flew towards the Land of Rain border in the rain.
"Hiruko, how's the research on that Crystal Ball going?" Pain turned to Hiruko and asked.
Hiruko shrugged helplessly, "The progress is very slow. Even if I combine the knowledge you told me, it will still take some time. It would be great if I could find an object that can be used as a reference!"
In response, Pain said nothing, slowly closed his eyes, and began to think about the next plan.
In Konoha, sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
In Hokage Building, Yan was sitting in the Hokage's seat, carefully examining the map on the table.
It marks the distribution of various forces and recent developments.
Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
The surrounding ninjas stood quietly, waiting for his instructions.
"Senju Tobirama Is there any news over there?" Yan suddenly asked.
A ninja stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Lord Hokage, we have not received any message from Lord Tobirama yet."
Yan frowned slightly, "Strengthen the intelligence collection on Land of Rain. Once there is any information, notify me immediately."
"Yes, Lord Hokage." Ninja responded, then turned and left Hokage Building.
At the same time, Senju Tobirama and Anbu members had just left the Land of Rain border.
Senju Tobirama walked at the front of the team, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
In this operation, there was a big problem with the intelligence.
No one expected that all the combat members of Akatsuki Organization would be in Land of Rain. They don't want their feelings elsewhere, right?
You know, within the sphere of influence of Land of Rain, apart from Land of Birds and Land of Waterfalls being relatively stable, their disputes in Land of Lightning are very fierce.
There are countless various forces, big and small!
Originally Sasori of the Red Sands was in charge, but now Akatsuki Organization no longer even manages Land of Lightning.
He must be planning something shameful!
However, while Senju Tobirama was meditating, they passed a dense forest.
At this time, Senju Tobirama suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
He felt that the surrounding environment was somewhat abnormal, and a large number of chakra fluctuations of unknown origin appeared not far away.
But after crossing the Land of Rain border, you have already reached Land of Fire.
This is their base camp, but you always have to be careful!
"Everyone, be careful, there may be an ambush around." Senju Tobirama said softly.
When Anbu members heard Senju Tobirama's words, they all increased their vigilance, clenched their weapons, and prepared to deal with possible dangers.
At this moment, a group of ninjas dressed in black rushed out of the woods with weapons in hand.
They all wear masks on their faces so that no one can see their faces clearly.
As soon as he saw this posture, he knew that the other party had bad intentions, so Senju Tobirama shouted loudly.
"Ready to fight!"
At the same time, both hands quickly Hand Seals.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
A water dragon flew out of his hand and rushed towards the opponent.
When the opponent saw the water dragon coming, they all evaded it. Their movements were very agile, and they jumped out of the water dragon's attack range with a few big jumps.
Just as the opponent was avoiding the water dragon's attack, the Anbu members also launched an attack.
The two sides instantly fell into a melee.
Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique made him feel like a fish in water in the melee. He quickly shuttled through the woods, constantly avoiding the enemy's attacks, and at the same time launching ninjutsu to counterattack.
For a time, it caused huge casualties to the opponent, and people kept falling down amid the screams.
During the fierce battle, Senju Tobirama found that the opponent's attack method was somewhat familiar. He carefully observed the opponent's movements and clothing and made a guess in his mind.
"Are you the ninjas of Kirigakure?"
The other party didn't answer and just continued to attack.
Senju Tobirama became more certain of his guess.
Kirigakure and Akatsuki Organization have already cooperated, but the question is why they appear here.
There was no time to think, a large number of Shuriken cut through the air and came roaring.
Senju Tobirama Hands fast Hand Seals,
"Water Release·Water Curtain Jutsu!"
A huge water curtain rose in front of him, like a huge blue barrier, blocking the opponent's attack.
