Chapter 594 The Six Paths Sage Is Real (5k Monthly Ticket Required)

Lao Zi went all the way south.

Although he was not familiar with the Land of Rain, his initial motivation was to meet Sosuke, and he could not help but investigate the location of the Ninja Clan.

However, due to his experience in Shirakawa Village, Lao Zi slowed down his pace.

He did not use the super-fast marching speed of the ninja to rush to the Six Paths Castle in the south of the Land of Rain, but took the Six Paths Castle as the terminal station and moved forward slowly like a traveler on a slow-paced tour.

This was a very novel experience for Lao Zi.

In the past, he was either practicing or on missions, so he had no time to travel.

The most important thing is that people here will not look at Lao Zi with strange eyes. He will receive sincere gratitude for helping the village drive away stray ninjas in the village. He can eat at restaurants in the town and no one will care about him.

Such a life may be daily for ordinary people, but for Lao Zi, this is a goal he did not achieve when he left the Hidden Rock Village.

Lao Zi really feels that his current life can be called happy.

Even if he had been spending the night in the wild in order not to affect the villagers and townspeople, even if he could not show his true face to avoid the pursuit of Iwagakure.

"Identity is a good thing." Lao Zi put down his chopsticks after lunch and sighed in his heart.

He is a person with thinking ability. After thinking seriously, he thought of the reason.

In the eyes of the people of the Rain Country, he is just an unknown ninja, without any other special identity, so he can be appreciated normally and enjoy the life of ordinary people normally.

In the Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village, he is a Jinchūriki, and the tailed beast symbolizing evil and destruction is in his body.

If the people of Shirakawa Village knew that he was a Jinchūriki, would they still thank him so sincerely and invite him to their home as a guest?

Lao Zi didn't know, he was not sure.

"Don't think too much, just live happily now." The four-tailed said with a heroic laugh.

"It's not your own will to become a Jinchūriki. If you want to blame someone, blame those who use our tailed beasts as weapons."

At this point, the four-tailed couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The tailed beasts did not fight or compete, but lived quietly in a remote corner of the ninja world. They had never provoked the ninjas, but were captured by the ninjas for no reason and sealed in the bodies of the Jinchūriki.

Not to mention that the Jinchūriki was not willing, the tailed beasts were not willing either.

Lao Zi nodded and got up to pay the bill.

He just sighed a little, and his current life was much better than that in Iwagakure anyway.

The freedom alone was a hundred blocks away from Iwagakure.

After leaving the restaurant, Lao Zi casually glanced at the street, and noticed a few Iwagakure-dressed ninjas, but he didn't care, and continued to walk south with a calm face.

Ordinary Iwagakure ninjas couldn't see through his transformation technique, and as for the sensing ninjas, there were too few of them, and unless they were unlucky, they shouldn't encounter them.

Ohnoki could guess that Lao Zi would not take the initiative to expose the identity of the Jinchūriki, and Lao Zi also knew that Ohnoki didn't dare to send out Iwagakure ninjas to search.

After all, during the war, if Iwagakure suddenly made a big move, other major ninja villages would definitely investigate. If they found out that it was the Jinchuriki who ran away, the consequences would not be what Ohnoki wanted to see.

Three Iwagakure ninjas walked slowly on the street, carefully looking at every pedestrian on the street.

Some people felt uncomfortable, but when they saw the forehead protectors on the heads of Iwagakure ninjas, they finally gave up.

Ordinary people can't afford to offend ninjas. This is still the best among ninjas, and ninjas from the five major ninja villages are even more unacceptable.

They also saw Lao Zi using the transformation technique, but Lao Zi's performance was no different from that of passers-by, so they ignored him.

Occasionally, when they saw some people who behaved more suspiciously, they found reasons to step forward and question them.

However, Lao Zi found a strange thing. The further south he went, the more Iwagakure he met on the road, which made Lao Zi feel a little strange.

"Did they use some kind of secret technique to lock my whereabouts?" Lao Zi wondered in his heart.

There are too many strange secret techniques in the ninja world, and Lao Zi is not sure whether Iwagakure Village has such an effect.

In the afternoon, since it was time for lunch and Lao Zi didn't have much dry food, he spent money to find a villager who was willing to eat at his home.

When he was about to move on, he suddenly saw a group of Iwagakure ninjas confronting two red-haired boys not far away, one of whom was wearing a forehead protector from the Rain Country.

Facing stray ninjas who robbed villagers, Lao Zi would help without hesitation.

But if it was an internal conflict between ninjas, Lao Zi generally had no interest in intervening.

In Lao Zi's eyes, ninjas who could kill innocent people and rob innocent people of their property were hopeless ninjas, and it was right to kill them no matter how they were beaten.

There were too many and complicated reasons for conflicts between ninjas. It could be the positions between villages, conflicts in missions, or personal grudges.

In this case, it was easy for him to do bad things with good intentions.

Moreover, ninjas were equal to each other, and Lao Zi was not a real messenger of justice. He had to mediate everything he encountered.

Lao Zi wanted to change his route to avoid the conflict, but at this moment, Lao Zi remembered his experience in the Rain Country these days.

Because he acted decisively and did not ask for compensation, he helped two villages in total, and both times he was mistaken for a ninja from the Ninja Clan.

This made Lao Zi particularly interested in the Ninja Clan. He saw that the red-haired ninja did not look like a ninja from the Rain Village, so he might be a ninja from the Ninja Clan.

"Let's go and listen to what they are saying first." Lao Zi thought.

In order not to be discovered, Lao Zi found an unmanned corner and used earth escape to sneak into the ground, quietly coming to the vicinity of Nagato and the others.

"Your actions of Iwagakure have affected the lives of the people of the Rain Country, and the Ninja Sect needs an explanation." Nagato said with a serious face to the Iwagakure ninjas in front of him.

Although Iwagakure's actions were not big, for the Ninja Sect who were working hard to create a peaceful and harmonious Rain Country, Iwagakure's actions were particularly glaring.

"Nagato, we have nothing to say. You are also a ninja, you should understand us. Leaking the mission is a betrayal of the village." The leading Iwagakure ninja replied in a deep voice.

They were not ninjas sent by Ohnoki to the Rain Country to find Lao Zi, but ninjas commissioned by the Ninja Sect to train.

Because they had practiced in the Ninja Sect for some time, they were acquainted with Nagato, so they did not use a threatening tone, but just pointed out their own difficulties.

The main reason is that they can't win even if there is a conflict. Nagato is not a soft persimmon. He is a powerful ninja with the title of the first genius in the ninja world.

"You don't need to give an immediate answer. You can convey the meaning of the Ninja Clan to the Hidden Rock Village.

The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Rock Village have a cooperation in training ninjas. You are also one of them. You know the attitude of the Ninja Clan towards cooperation. We don't want this matter to affect the relationship between the two sides." Nagato continued.

The top leaders of the Ninja Clan have discussed that if the Hidden Rock Village does not give a reasonable explanation and continues to disrupt the stability of the Rain Country, then they will terminate their cooperation with the Hidden Rock Village.

Nagato agrees with this decision. The Ninja Clan has worked hard for the peace and stability of the Rain Country for so long. If they are afraid to intervene just because the other party is one of the five major ninja villages, then the previous efforts will be in vain.

The small ninja village didn't dare to provoke the Rain Country. The reason why the Rain Country has become like this is because the five major countries regard the Rain Country as a battlefield for wrestling.

If they tolerate Iwagakure now, they may tolerate Konoha in the future, and then tolerate Sandagakure in the future. By then, there will be no peace and stability in the Rain Country.

"So the village has such cooperation with the Ninja Clan." Lao Zi, who was eavesdropping underground, was a little surprised.

No wonder there were more and more Iwagakure ninjas as he walked south.

Lao Zi guessed that it should be Ohnoki who issued the task of finding him to the Iwagakure ninjas who were receiving training from the Ninja Clan.

If Lao Zi was Ohnoki, he probably wouldn't let his subordinates train at ease at this time. The impact of stopping training for a month would definitely not be as great as the loss of the Jinchuriki.

"I will report to the higher-ups." The leading Iwagakure jonin replied.

Now that it involves the Ninja Clan, he really can't not report.

On the one hand, the Ninja Clan has cooperation with Iwagakure, and on the other hand, the high-end combat power of the Ninja Clan is not weak. They can't make waves in the Rain Country.

In fact, the Iwagakure jonin himself has a good impression of the Ninja Clan and hopes that the Iwagakure Village can continue to cooperate with the Ninja Clan.

Because the teaching quality of the Ninja Clan is very high, he really feels that studying here can effectively improve his strength.

However, the matter involved this time was too big, and the Iwagakure jonin had no right to decide anything.

After saying that, the Iwagakure jonin took the other Iwagakure away.

Lao Zi originally wanted to wait for Nagato and the others to leave and then drill out of the ground directly, but Nagato didn't know why he stood there for ten minutes without moving.

"Come out, no need to hide." Nagato said lightly to the ground.

Nagato has a strong perception ability. He had long sensed that there was a strong chakra nearby that he had never sensed before.

When Lao Zi used earth escape to sneak over, Nagato was even more alert and ready to attack at any time.

If it weren't for the Iwagakure, Nagato would have been worried about accidents and he would have taken action long ago.

Lao Zi, who was about to use earth escape to go out to other places, was a little surprised, "You found me, is it a perception ninja?"

Lao Zi thought for a while, rushed out of the ground directly, and stood five meters away from Nagato.

Iwagakure had been away for ten minutes. With the speed of a ninja, he had already run a long way, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, his purpose of coming to the Land of Rain was to see Sosuke. Since he wanted to see Sosuke, it was inevitable to see the ninjas of the Ninja Clan.

Lao Zi looked at Nagato and Sasori, and Nagato also stared at Lao Zi with the Samsara Eye.

With the blessing of the Samsara Eye, Lao Zi's disguise of transformation was useless, and Nagato saw Lao Zi's true appearance at once.

"Such a powerful chakra, no, it seems to be different from ordinary chakra, is this his chakra?" Nagato did not know Lao Zi, but was shocked by the chakra in his body.

It was the first time he saw so much and so powerful chakra.

Nagato took a half step and protected Sasori behind him.

Sasori was still sealed and could not use chakra, so he needed his protection.

Sasori was very self-aware and quickly took two steps back.

From the beginning, he pulled him to prevent him from leaving, and now he made such a move, it was obvious that the opponent was not simple.

"These eyes!" The four tails in Lao Zi's body made an extremely shocked voice.

He actually saw the same eyes as Yuyi in this ninja named Nagato.

"What's wrong with his eyes? They look different from ordinary people's eyes." Lao Zi asked in confusion.

Regarding special eyes, he only knew about Konoha's Byakugan and Sharingan.

"His eyes are exactly the same as the eyes of the Six Paths Sage." The Four-Tails answered.

"Six Paths Sage? Have you seen the Six Paths Sage? I thought it was just a myth." Lao Zi was a little surprised.

There are many legends about Rokudo Sage, one of the most well-known legends is the Rokudo Sage Creation Legend. In this legend, the ninja world was created by Rokudo Sage.

Compared with ordinary people, ninjas can be regarded as superhuman, but the power of ninjas is limited. With the terrifying destructive power of the tailed beast jade, it can only destroy a mountain at most.

And creation is more difficult than destruction, so he believes that the Sage of Six Paths is just a fictional mythical figure.

"Of course not, I once lived with the Sage of Six Paths for a while." Siwei shook his head and said.

For the Four-Tails' long life, the time spent with the Sage of Six Paths was very short, but the memory was so beautiful that the Four-Tails still cannot remember it.

For him, that memory was more important than the memory of living alone for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Seeing the expression of the fourth tail that he had never seen before, Lao Zi discovered a problem. The fourth tail knew him very well, but he didn't know the fourth tail that well.

This is a matter of course, because before that battle, he was not even willing to call the fourth tail's name.

"Who are you? What's the purpose of coming to the Land of Rain? Why do you want to eavesdrop on the conversation between me and the Iwagakure ninja?" Seeing that Lao Zi didn't speak, Nagato stared at Lao Zi and asked.

Although he had not yet fought against Lao Zi, Nagato knew that the opponent would not be a simple character just based on Lao Zi's chakra.

In addition, it was a time of war, so Nagato subconsciously connected Lao Zi with Iwagakure's activities in the Land of Rain.

"Is he a strong man from a certain great ninja village, and those great ninja villages want to use the Kingdom of Rain as a battlefield?" Nagato's expression became more serious.

If things have developed to this point, it will be completely bad news for the Ninja Sect and the Rain Country.

Nagato's words interrupted Lao Zi's thoughts about the Four Tails. He thought for a while and said:

"Are you Nagato? That Soyousuke's disciple."

Lao Zi only knew three ninjas from the ninja sect. Needless to say, the first one was the ninja master Soyousuke he wanted to meet.

The second one is Kakuzu, and the third one is Nagato.

Youth martial arts will make Nagato famous in the ninja world. Even if Lao Zi is not interested in this information, he has heard some news.

"I am."

Nagato silently adjusted his breathing method to allow his condition to reach its peak.

"You don't need to know my name. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions and that I came to the Land of Rain just to meet your teacher Soyousuke." Lao Zi chose to conceal his identity.

According to what he saw along the way, the Ninja Sect was a very good ninja force.

However, this was not enough to make Lao Zi completely let down his guard. After all, he had just learned that the Ninja Sect and Iwagakure were still cooperating.

If Iwagakure cooperates with the Ninja Sect to catch turtles in a urn, Lao Zi will feel uncomfortable.

"You want to see Mr. Soyousuke?" Nagato looked at Lao Zi with suspicious eyes.

He felt like the Great Ninja Village wanted to behead Mu Yue in order to dismantle the Ninja Sect.

"Yes, if Soyousuke is willing to meet, then let's meet. If he is not willing to meet, you should tell me earlier and I will go elsewhere." Lao Zi continued.

He knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he made such a request without revealing his identity.

But there is nothing Lao Zi can do. The risk would be too great if his identity is revealed.

"Since you don't want to say your name, you must at least explain which ninja village or which ninja force you are from." Nagato wanted to make a false statement.

"I don't belong to any ninja force." Lao Zi replied.

Nagato looked at Lao Zi, trying to guess whether Lao Zi's words were true or false based on Lao Zi's expression.

"There's no way to judge..." Nagato sighed inwardly.

Unsurprisingly, he failed. He is not good at this.

"Whether you agree or refuse, as long as you decide, you can come to this village to find me." Lao Zi said.

He planned to leave a shadow clone in this village for communication.

Nagato nodded and finally left with Xia.

Lao Zi had no intention of fighting, and it was impossible for Nagato to attack Lao Zi just based on his guesses.

"Xiao, do you think he is lying?" Nagato looked at Xiao and asked.

"Which answer scores higher?" Xie didn't answer directly.

"The right answer."

"Then I don't know."

After all, Nagato still has the experience of wandering with Yahiko. Yahiko has been alone for a long time since his parents left, so he doesn't know how to observe what is happening.

"Your teacher is so strong, just let him go. Maybe that person is an admirer of your teacher and will join your Ninja Sect after meeting him." Xie said casually.

Xie Ting hoped that Suyou would intervene in the accident. Many sealing techniques would lose their effect after the death of the caster.

If Soyousuke is assassinated, Scorpion won't even have to wait a year to find an opportunity to get the puppet back and continue to take revenge.

"Although the teacher is powerful, the enemy may not choose to fight alone. He may send an elite team to surround and kill." Nagato shook his head. Too many strong men in the ninja world died in the siege.

The strength of a ninja is based on chakra. No matter how strong Mu Yue is, if the enemy is not killed before the chakra is used up, Mu Yue will be in danger.

In the end, Nagato didn't raise any opinions. He just returned to the Ninja Sect and told Mu Yue the information, leaving Mu Yue to make his own decision.

Mu Yue always encourages him to think more and take the initiative, but Nagato knows that his ability is not enough at the moment. He cannot affect Mu Yue's judgment on such important matters.

"Want to see me, powerful and massive chakra, Iwagakure's unknown actions..."

After Mu Yue connected all the clues, an answer vaguely emerged in her mind.

"Describe his appearance." Mu Yue said to Nagato.

"His hair is reddish, tied into a high ponytail, and his beard is very thick. He looks about 30 years old." Nagato replied after recalling.

Mu Yue is now 100% sure who Nagato met.

"Teacher Mu Yue, do you want to meet him?"
