The rain never stops.
This is the fate of Land of Rain, as if even the sky is crying for this war-torn land.
Senju Chen was walking alone among the ruins, holding an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.
The shoes under my feet stepped on the water-logged ground, making a crisp sound of "plop, plop", which was the only rhythm in this dead city.
He did not hide his whereabouts, just like a traveler walking in the rain, walking calmly and directly towards the largest and most dilapidated old factory marked by Hatake Sakumo.
The purpose of his trip was to "make friends" in an honest way.
When he was still a hundred meters away from the factory gate, Senju Chen felt that at least four obscure sights were locked on him from different corners.
These should be peripheral members of the "Akatsuki" organization.
They didn't act rashly, they were just watching carefully.
Senju Chen Turn a blind eye and move on.
When he stepped onto the cracked cement steps in front of the factory, those sights disappeared, replaced by the many Chakra inside the factory that suddenly became tense and full of hostility.
Senju Chen's face showed a smile with some curiosity and kindness. He put away the oil-paper umbrella, let the cold rain wet his soft black hair, and then pushed open the huge iron door that was ajar and made a sad creaking sound.
Behind the door is a wide and empty space.
The huge machines stood silently in the shadows, like sleeping steel behemoths. The light cast from the damaged holes in the dome intertwined with the diffuse rain and fog, forming visible pillars of light.
Very quiet.
So quiet... too quiet.
It was the third step Senju Chen took into the factory.
The murderous intention exploded in a silent place!
"Water Release·Water Trumpet!"
A low roar full of anger and determination sounded from the high platform on the right!
Yahiko's figure jumped out, with Hand Seals's hands, a turbulent stream of water was like a beast out of the cage, not directed at Senju Chen himself, but accurately bombarded the ground under his feet!
Wow--!
The stagnant water was attracted by the violent Chakra and turned into a curtain of water rising into the sky, instantly blocking Senju Chen's vision. At the same time, the slippery ground underfoot made any high-speed movement extremely difficult.
This is not a fatal attack, but the starting point of tactics - dividing the battlefield and restricting movement!
Almost at the same time, deadly threats struck from all directions!
Sssssssssssss--!
Countless white Paper Shuriken condensed from Chakra, like a flock of migrating birds or a swarm of life-seeking bees, shot out from the shadows on the left, behind, and even above the head! They drew weird arcs in the air, blocking all directions where Senju Chen could dodge.
Each Paper Shuriken is as thin as a cicada's wing, but as sharp as a knife, and makes a tooth-piercing cutting sound when rotating.
It's Konan.
However, this is not the end.
An invisible wave flashed in the air.
Senju Chen was keenly aware that the density of the air around him had changed in an instant, and a force was pulling on his windbreaker, trying to delay his reaction even for a tenth of a second.
Wind Release!
Although it was weak, the timing was perfect, and it perfectly coordinated with Paper Shuriken's attack.
Trinity joint strangulation!
First Yahiko creates chaos and obstacles, then Konan launches all-round fatal attacks, and finally Nagato provides subtle assistance and reinforcement in the dark.
This combination is smooth and smooth, without any sluggishness, and is enough to make any experienced ninja instantly feel jealous.
Do they think they are killers sent by Hanzo of the Salamander?
There was no panic in Senju Chen's eyes.
At that moment when the water curtain rose and the paper rain fell, what flashed in the depths of his clear eyes was... amusement and approval.
'Good cooperation, much better understanding than those so-called elite teams. Yahiko's decision-making, Konan's precision, and... the "kind" Nagato, how can you not bear to deal with me as an uninvited guest?'
He even had the leisure to evaluate his opponent's attacks.
The next moment, all the noise in the outside world seemed to slow down.
Water drops, pieces of paper, light and shadow are broken down into slow frames in his dynamic vision.
"The welcome ceremony is a bit... too warm."
A chuckle resounded in Senju Chen's heart.
His figure left a blurry afterimage on the spot.
Poof.
Like a popped blister.
The water curtain stirred up by Water Release was penetrated by countless Paper Shuriken, tearing apart the black afterimage.
However, there is no blood, no physical sensation of being hit.
"What?!"
Yahiko's pupils on the high platform suddenly shrank.
Konan was also shocked. She could feel that all her Paper Shuriken was in vain!
Where are the people?!
"Up there!"
A slightly hoarse young boy's voice, suppressing shock, sounded from the deepest part of the factory.
It's Nagato!
Yahiko and Konan looked up sharply.
I saw the figure of Senju Chen, and at some point, it had appeared on a transverse steel beam dozens of meters above their heads.
He still maintained that relaxed and comfortable standing posture, as if the fatal siege just now was just a harmless joke. He looked down at the three of them, the harmless smile on his face, but at this moment, in the eyes of Yahiko and Konan, it seemed so... dazzling.
"The response is good." Senju Chen's voice came from above, clearly reaching everyone's ears, "Especially you, the one hiding at the back... Nagato, right?"
"You can sense my position before I activate it. Your perception ability is outstanding."
Hearing the other party call his name directly, Nagato's body stiffened suddenly.
He slowly walked out of the huge mechanical shadow.
His striking long red hair covered half of his face, and his covered eyes were full of vigilance and disbelief.
He couldn't understand.
At that moment, how did the other party disappear and how did he appear at that location? That was not Body Flicker Technique. Body Flicker Technique would have traces of the flow of Chakra, but just now... there was nothing.
It's like... moving out of thin air.
"Who on earth are you?!" Hearing the other party shout out Nagato's name, Yahiko's heart tightened. He raised his head and asked sternly. He had Hand Seals again with one hand, and the other hand was tightly holding the short knife at his waist, and his body was as tense as a bow.
"What is your purpose here? Did Hanzo of the Salamander send you here?!"
"Make friends."
Senju Chen jumped down from the beam and landed lightly ten meters in front of the three people, causing a circle of tiny ripples.
He spread his hands and still had that gentle smile on his face, as if he was facing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Don't be so nervous."
"I told you, I'm here to make friends."
Yahiko is quite handsome, just a few points behind me.
Hey, what a beautiful young lady. This is Konan. Although I have seen her in anime in my previous life, she is more beautiful in real life than in the comics. If this happened in my previous life, I would have to add her on WeChat.
The non-mainstream boy with red hair and half-faced face is probably Nagato, the "Pain" who will stir up the whole Shinobi World in the future, but now he is still a healthy and kind-hearted boy.
Senju Chen swept over Yahiko, who looked guarded, and Konan, who looked cold, and finally landed on the red-haired boy.
