Chapter 11 - 11: Kill The Salamander
Chapter 11 - 11: Kill The Salamander
The first mission was executed perfectly.
Uehara Naraku was extremely arrogant, exactly what Pain wanted.
Akatsuki's revenge is to be fair and honest. He will use the power of a God to destroy the rule and will of Hanzo of the Salamander.
The two people who were Hanzo's mortal enemies, Konan and Pain know that the ninja demigod was a cautious and suspicious person will gather all his cronies to protect his safety.
No matter what happens, Hanzo would never think that after Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the Warring States period, someone will appear that could destroy a Shinobi village with their own power.
The rain continuously pouring.
Konan took Uehara Naraku and hid in a cave to avoid the rain.
There's a fire in front of them with two grilled fish on it, because they don't know how to cook quickly using fire ninjutsu.
Konan stretched out his hand to stir the grilled fish rack then carefully check the fire and whispered: "It will take a while to cook..."
"It's okay, I'm not yet hungry."
Uehara Naraku didn't care and just watched her attentively asked in a low voice, "Konan-sensei, do you really like grilled fish?"
"..."
The woman fell silent.
After a long time, Konan nodded and said: "At the beginning when Yahiko, Nagato and I were still practicing under Jiraiya-sensei because the war between Ame no Kuni (country of rain) and Kaze no Kuni (country of wind) was not over yet. The food was scarce, we often fill our hunger with grilled fish..."
"Is Jiraiya one of Konoha Sannin?"
Uehara Naraku saw that she was very interested in mentioning the past, and focus on the topic: "That's a very famous ninja, I have heard his name..."
In fact, he has not only heard of his name.
Even in his life, Uehara Naraku knew this well. Of course, he was more interested in the famous masterpieces of Jiraiya.
It is a pity that most bookstore owners in the Shinobi world are more upright and resolutely refuse to sell the book "Icha Icha Paradise" to a twelve-year-old boy. In actual fact, they are out of stock.
However, the bookstore owners don't mind selling another book, "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" with the same author Jiraiya.
As everyone knows, this is a slow-motivating book.
Uehara Naraku bought this book out of curiosity.
After reading a few pages, Uehara Naraku realized that this book was actually a chicken soup in the Ninja world. His original intention was to soothe those who have experienced the pain of war.
Unfortunately, ninjas don't like chicken soup for the soul.
Compared "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" to "Icha Icha Paradise" which has some colors is more popular with ninjas who are always in the dead door.
A generation of great writers has embarked on the road of no return to the intimate series.
Of course, Jiraiya's name is better than the intimacy series, one of Konoha Sannin, the toad sage of mount Myuboku, the disciple of Third Hokage, the teacher of Fourth Hokage, etc...
The white-haired old man has too much influence on the Ninja world.
"Jiraiya-sensei is indeed very famous."
Konan took off a grilled fish, handed it to Uehara Narako, and whispered: "He is not as arrogant and cruel as Orochimaru. It is precisely after hearing his deeds that we went to look for his traces and became his disciples. "
"After that?"
"Later..."
Konan frowned recalling the past bit by bit and whispered: "Later, we spent three years together, until Jiraiya left, every day was very fun. "
"It seems that Konan-sensei missed those days very much!"
After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he lowered his head and took a bite of the grilled fish.
Konan's face was very serious and said: "Because that is indeed worthy to remember."
If possible, Konan wishes that Nagato doesn't have such power as it is now, or rather, they don't create the Akatsuki organization. She only hopes to continue to live those ordinary days.
"If I have a chance, I would also like to meet the Jiraiya-sama."
Uehara Naraku chuckled lightly and added: "I hope he will not be as bad as Orochimaru in the organization."
That white-haired hero is worth seeing.
And in his side missions, there is a lot about Jiraiya.
Although it is difficult to find a trace of Jiraiya now. Jiraiya will also appear in Konohagakure during the Konoha Chunin exam in a few years.
As long as you go to Konoha, you will be able to accomplish many tasks!
"Well, stay away from Orochimaru in the future, he is not a good person."
Konan patted Uehara on the shoulder, looked directly into his eyes, and told him seriously: "Except for me and Pain, no one else can be trusted."
"..."
Uehara Naraku blinked, murmured a few words in his heart looked at Konan, and nodded he said: "Hmm, okay Sensei."
"Okay, after eating rest early."
Konan rubbed his hair and whispered: "Tomorrow we have to attack another Outpost. Maybe we will meet a few tricky guys."
Uehara Naraku was slightly surprised, what could be tricky about the combat power level of those Ame ninjas he encountered?
Even if there are a few Jonin, can they beat Konan?
Uehara still thinks too one-sidedly.
Amegakure has always been among the top in countless small ninja villages in the ninja world, second only to the five big countries, and even dared to declare war on the surrounding big countries when it was its peak strength. Although it was still suppressed back and forth on the ground in the end, its strength should not be underestimated.
The second Ame outpost to be attacked by Konan and Uehara Naraku is on a deep mountain and ridge. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are many ninjas, and their alert level is higher than ordinary ninja outpost.
When Naraku Uehara and Konan climbed the mountain, they looked at the barren mountain with serious faces: "Sensei, are they building a ninja outpost here, is there any use?"
"Because The Salamander is raised here."
Konan raised her finger and a paper butterfly fell on her fingertips, turned into white paper, and integrated into her body.
"Salamander?"
Uehara Naraku raised his head in surprise and scanned the unremarkable barren mountain: "Isn't that the summoned beast of Ame leader Hanzo?"
As a ninja beast lurking in the deep mountains of Ame no Kuni (country of rain), the Salamander has become a nightmare on the battlefield with its powerful and poisonous body.
Salamander is a kind of summoned creature that does not belong to the three holy places in the Ninja world, but it's comparable in strength. Many ninjas died because of the poison of Salamander. Konoha Sannin was also suppressed by it and Hanzo.
"That's right."
Konan nodded took out a scroll and whispered: "Salamander is very poisonous. During the Second Ninja World War, if a ninja did not have a gas mask, he would not be able to survive on the battlefield..."
"F?injutsu, kai!"
After she finished speaking, Konan took out two ugly-looking gas masks from the sealed scroll, and handed them to Uehara Naraku: "Put it on, neither of us are medical ninjas. We must ensure that we will not get hurt."
"…it is good."
Uehara Naraku took it with a weird expression.
