Chapter 171 The Heavily Guarded Rain Village (Subscription Request)

The noise in his ears was suddenly cleared.

The closed door well isolated the noise of singing and dancing in the room from the outside world.

Except for the extremely slight shaking caused by the boat's movement, it seemed that only Ryosuke was left in the world.

Sitting quietly in his own single room, a wooden box with a very casual appearance was placed on the wooden table next to Ryosuke.

This box, whether in terms of material, texture or the iron lock embedded in the box, is extremely ordinary, without any highlights, which makes people feel bright.

But it was such a broken box that made him go all out without any thought, using the fastest speed that this body could burst out, and rushed directly into the water to pick up the broken box.

"Even the devil fruit has appeared..."

Although there is only a wooden box, there is no key.

But with Ryosuke's means, he naturally does not need ordinary means to open the lock.

He just flicked it lightly, and the iron lock on the wooden box was directly sunken as if it had been hit by a hammer.

The lock cylinder inside was also damaged, and it was no longer useful for keeping the contents of the box.

Stretching out his palm, Ryosuke opened the broken box.

Among them, a fruit with a very strange appearance and a spiral pattern on the surface was lying quietly.

This was a product from Bruno's world, one of the many powers of One Piece.

It was also a coincidence that although those pirates did not live in the world of the Great Navigation, they accidentally obtained the power of that world when the world was invaded.

But unfortunately... these pirates lost to their own caution after all.

Not from the world of One Piece, not knowing those secrets of the sea, as an ordinary person, after seeing such a fruit, of course, they would not choose to eat it in one bite.

They cherished their lives and took the path that ordinary people would generally choose. They did not dare to easily taste this fruit that looked like it was poisonous, but chose to treasure it.

Perhaps... they wanted to sell this fruit that looked extremely strange to those wealthy nobles who had too much money to spend.

But it was precisely this caution and rationality that caused this group of people to miss the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step.

As long as they eat the fruit, even ordinary people will have superpowers unique to the fruit itself, such as Bruno, who could open a door frame from the void anytime and anywhere. He is a devil fruit user.

But at the same time, while having abilities, the user will also have defects.

For example, when soaked in sea water or touched by a special mineral called seastone, the body will become weak and the fruit ability will be suppressed.

There are also cases where the mind is affected by the fruit ability and the living habits are changed. For example, if you eat an animal fruit that can turn into various animals, you will be infected with the habits of those animals.

Although these defects are not so significant, they are extremely fatal if they are placed in a battle where even the smallest details will be infinitely magnified.

What's more, Ryosuke doesn't know what type of fruit this is and what kind of changes it will bring to his body.

Therefore, the temptation of the devil fruit is extremely deadly to ordinary people, but for Ryosuke, who is extremely proficient in the five elements of Yin and Yang escape techniques and has powerful bloodline abilities, eating this fruit is undoubtedly a shackle for himself.

It is better not to eat it...

After weighing the pros and cons, Ryosuke suppressed the idea of ​​taking the fruit and gently picked up the fruit and placed it in his hand.

He did not know the ability of the devil fruit in front of him.

However, it is very likely that it is the legacy left by the dead Bruno in this world, that is, the door-door fruit.

After all, all devil fruits are unique, and unless the ability user dies, there will be no fruits of the same type.

After Bruno died in their world, his ability might be condensed into a fruit again and appear in this world, or even the one in Ryosuke's hand.

Unfortunately, without the illustrated book, he could not accurately distinguish it.

But it is not that there is no way to try to distinguish it...

In the eyes under the faint fluorescence, Ryosuke's vision can see through the surface of the fruit and see its internal structure clearly.

Unfortunately, there was nothing special about it. It was no different from ordinary fruits, and it did not contain any extraordinary energy.

But there was another possibility, that is, some of the power contained in it was beyond his current ability.

It seemed unlikely to avoid defects and directly obtain its own ability without swallowing it, or even explore this ability.

As this idea fell through, the room fell into complete silence.

Without any extra movements, Ryosuke just stared at the fruit quietly for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to have another idea and raised his other palm.

The light blue chakra on his palm was extremely rich.

But just when Ryosuke wanted to cover the surface of the fruit with his big hand, his movement stopped again, and he withdrew the chakra on his palm with a look of regret.

Forget it, there is only one devil fruit for now, so let's put the research aside for now.

Rather than wasting this fruit on research that may not produce any results, Ryosuke thinks it is better to take it back to the family to increase the family's combat power.

By the way, he can also observe all the physical changes of the other party after he takes the fruit.

Thinking of this, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​research, took out an empty scroll and sealed the fruit in the scroll to avoid losses during the journey.

Let's put the devil fruit aside for now, and we need to spend some time to study it after returning to the village.

Ryosuke has other things to face.

"Ninja..."

Just walked to the door, and before the people outside reached out to knock on the door, he had already opened the door.

Smiling and nodding to the boat owner who was holding his arms in a daze outside, Ryosuke said gently and very affirmatively: "Have you arrived in the Rain Country?"

The Rain Country is a small or medium-sized country in the ninja world.

Its territory is not large, it is just an island several times larger than the Wave Country.

After passing through several remote villages, the rustling drizzle became more and more dense as Ryosuke got closer to the center of the island.

The climate of the Rain Country is shrouded in rain all year round, and the air is filled with an extremely damp feeling.

If Ryosuke did not let the chakra flow in his body from time to time, even if he was holding an umbrella and not wet by the rain, he would inevitably be slightly damp.

"Finally, it looks like a country..."

Looking at the towering towers in front of him and the people coming and going, Ryosuke was quite emotional.

The tower-shaped building is the architectural style formed by the Rain Country due to the continuous rain all year round, which is not available in other countries.

Although he has been in this ninja world for ten years, he has rarely traveled to foreign countries.

This Rain Country is the third country he has set foot in, ranking second among the foreign countries he has seen.

Walking in this town that can be regarded as a "capital", Ryosuke was amazed by what he saw and heard.

The towns ahead were just like some small villages outside the Fire Country, just gathering places surrounded by ordinary fences, poor and even without many people.

It was not until now that he was close to the center of the country that he saw a gathering place of the size of a town in another country, and saw a relatively large flow of people, which can be said to be extremely rare.

Compared with the Wave Country, which was completely a small fishing village before, the territory of the Rain Country is just a little larger.

Not to mention the five major countries such as the Fire Country, even the Iron Country, which is also a small and medium-sized country, cannot compare.

However... this does not mean that the national strength of the Rain Country is not as good as that of the Iron Country.

"This sir..."

Ryosuke stopped a hurried pedestrian on the side of the road casually, and asked in a gentle voice, "I would like to ask, this... Which company owns the famous ironware or ninja tool store in the Rain Country?"

When he got off the boat, he had already disguised his face and concealed his identity as a ninja, and continued to pretend to be an ordinary businessman.

Although the Rain Country is not prosperous, merchants often come and go for goods, so the people here are not surprised by his foreign face, but some people glance at him from time to time.

However... Ryosuke is a stranger after all, and he still attracts a lot of attention from this ambitious country.

Especially in the Hidden Rain Village near the center of the Rain Country, there are traces of ninjas.

"Sorry, I don't know."

The pedestrians looked very hurried, but seeing Ryosuke's luxurious clothes, they didn't show any face because they were stopped, and left in a hurry after leaving an answer.

He didn't ask more questions or answer more, and Ryosuke was also happy not to make up any nonsense.

He chose to ask this anxious person, and he also considered this aspect.

But noticing that the prying eyes in the dark had not dissipated, he could only helplessly continue to pretend to be a businessman from the Iron Country, asking about the famous ninja tools and ironware merchants in the Rain Country.

Until Ryosuke had almost walked through half of the town, those secretly spying eyes gradually dispersed.

"Really alert, and the individual strength is not weak."

Looking at the backs of those people leaving through his white eyes with amusement, Ryosuke secretly gave himself a 99-point performance for this wave of acting.

This feeling of playing with the world is quite interesting.

Just now, since Ryosuke stepped into the town, ninjas have gradually followed him secretly to observe his identity.

These rain ninjas are not weak in size. Judging from the level of chakra control, they are generally at the stage of Chunin.

Since he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, Ryosuke didn't choose to alert the snake, but cooperated with their observations to play such a play.

However, judging from the level of these rain ninjas, although the Rain Country seems to be poor, it is actually much better than the Iron Country in terms of national combat power.

And this priority is not because of its secretly ruling power, the Akatsuki organization, but because the Hidden Rain Village itself has a stronger combat power than the Iron Country Samurai Group.

Ninja is the main profession in this world after all.

And the former leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo, is even known as a demigod.

"This is a country that sacrificed all its comfort and enjoyment and contributed everything to the development of military power."

With a sigh, Ryosuke could probably guess why a country with such combat power had what he had seen and heard before.

Perhaps... once under the rule of Hanzo, this country was not so resolute.

But now, this country is in the hands of the Akatsuki organization, which is ready to be enemies with the whole world, so this idea of ​​focusing on military power is more firmly implemented.

But these have nothing to do with Ryosuke. He is not such a nosy person. Apart from the things he cares about, it is quite troublesome.

After finding a restaurant to stay temporarily, Ryosuke did not continue to choose to hurry on.

This is the last town away from the Hidden Rain Village. Leaving here means completely entering the central area of ​​the Rain Country.

Not far from the restaurant, there is a huge iron gate that is tightly closed.

As long as you pass through the iron gate and walk a distance, you will arrive at the Hidden Rain Village.

The Country of Rain does not have the systems of daimyo and nobles like other countries. Only the armed organization of the Hidden Rain Village rules the country.

Located in the central area of ​​the entire country, the Hidden Rain Village is surrounded by two towns of a certain size in the country, which is also the limit of what outsiders can explore in this country.

Before coming here, Ryosuke skillfully collected some information about the Hidden Rain Village.

First of all, the road from this town is not allowed to be entered by anyone outside the Hidden Rain Village, and there is a warning of no passage on the iron gate.

Whether it is merchants, travelers from other countries, or natives of the Country of Rain, they are not allowed to approach the central area, let alone enter the Hidden Rain Village.

Tracing back to the reason, there are many different opinions from various countries in the ninja world.

But Ryosuke knows that the reason for prohibiting outsiders from entering the village is entirely because the existence of the Akatsuki organization cannot be exposed.

As the headquarters of Akatsuki, the Hidden Rain Village not only has the Outer Path Demon Statue that Uchiha Madara "stole" from the moon, but also has a number of famous S-level rebel ninjas.

In order to hide their identities and purposes, no news is allowed to be leaked before their "peace" plan is completed.

This is also the reason why Jiraiya has been out of the village for many years, but he only knows that there is a hidden force like Akatsuki in the ninja world, but he can't find its location.

Although Ryosuke knows that this is the headquarters of Akatsuki because of his memories of his previous life.

But even if he has a strong strength, it is difficult to sneak in quietly.

Holding a bamboo pole to prop up the window, Ryosuke's vision has passed through the closed back door of the town not far away and entered the central area.

However, with his white eyes, he can't see through the Hidden Rain Village directly here for the time being. His field of vision is only close to the Hidden Rain Village, and it is already the limit if he doesn't even reach the entrance of the village.

Although there was no way to see through the Hidden Rain Village directly, Ryosuke could still easily observe most of the hidden Hidden Rain Ninjas on the road from this town to the nearby Hidden Rain Village.

In addition to these ninjas, the more troublesome thing was the rain in the sky.

When approaching the Hidden Rain Village, the rain from the rain clouds in the sky was no longer ordinary rain.

In the tiny raindrops, Ryosuke could clearly see the existence of chakra.

Although he personally judged that it was impossible for anyone in this ninja world to have such a huge amount of chakra to continuously supply rain, and to detect the entire village in this way.

But... nothing is absolute, and Ryosuke is not a person who would be so arrogant as to think that he is omniscient and omnipotent.
