Ninja World

The night rain is silent.

The two people walked out of the inn one after another.

There aren't too many people on the street now.

Life in the Land of Rain is like this, even in the richest towns. Only a few pubs still have lights on, and the nightlife can only be enjoyed by ninjas and upper-class nobles.

Most people hurried back home as soon as it got dark and closed the doors and windows tightly.

Because night is the most dangerous time in the Rain Kingdom.

Pairs of empty eyes have begun to appear in the dark alley.

He stared straight at the passers-by on the street, taking advantage of the cover of night to gradually reveal his fierce look.

Displaced refugees have become the most dangerous people in the Rain Country.

Someone's eyes fell on the boys and girls in tandem.

Uchiha Chen's eyes turned sideways slightly, showing a chill.

"roll."

The prying eyes in the darkness disappeared in an instant.

Having been wandering for too long, they have developed the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Just by meeting this young man's eyes, he subconsciously sensed danger and hurriedly retreated.

Aburame Eri also put away the bugs in her sleeves.

He frowned slightly.

“Has this country always been like this?”

She was asking Uchiha Tatsumi.

"kindness."

He didn't say much, just nodded.

The situation now is much better than what they were back then.

After all, this is a time of peace, and he and Konan Yahiko were at the end of the Second Ninja War.

The land of rain is devastated.

The atmosphere was slightly silent, and the two people headed towards the tavern they had set at the beginning.

According to the information obtained from the tip, Tian Meiling will appear in this small town in the Kingdom of Rain in recent days.

So the root team came here smelling the smell.

But there is one more question…

Tian Meiling has already taken refuge in Kirigakure Village, so why does she still appear in the Land of Rain with such arrogance?

He didn't seem to care about Yuyin Village's attitude.

You must know that neither Amegakure nor Kirigakure are good-tempered organizations. What they are best at is drawing swords on each other when they disagree.

There is no intelligence to support any collusion between Kirigakure and the distant Amegakure.

Can't figure it out.

But don’t lose your vigilance.

Because this might not be a trap set by Tian Meiling, after all, she is a woman who can trick Konoha Anbu around.

The two of them walked side by side on the street and had nothing to say for a while.

To outsiders, the relationship between the two looks like friends but also seems a bit distant. They walk side by side, but there is a Milky Way distance between them.

Just walking

What are you doing so far away?

Light rain was still dripping from the sky, as fine as a cow's hair.

The weather in the Land of Rain is like this and there are not many violent storms, but this kind of drizzle that lasts for four or five days like the rainy season is unbearable.

The footsteps made a sound as they stepped on the stagnant water in the street.

Water splashes everywhere.

The silence lasted for a long time, and then there was a trace of undetectable embarrassment.

But Aburame Eri seemed completely unaware. She didn't know whether to say that this fair-skinned girl had a big personality or that she was too withdrawn.

To the point of not being sociable.

Uchiha Tatsu finally took the lead and couldn't help it.

asked out loud.

"Welly."

"You said your bugs hate rain..."

After a pause, he didn't know why insects hated the rain and had to collect information.

But I still asked.

"Then why did you call me out?"

The voice fell, and the atmosphere remained silent.

Aburame Eri was slightly startled, as if she didn't react immediately.

There was a little confusion on his little face.

Uchiha Tatsu's cheeks darkened slightly.

"Don't tell me you forgot."

"Oh no.."

Aburame Eri seemed to react and blinked. She didn't need to wear glasses at night and had a pair of black pupils.

It's just that the light is a little scattered and the look is a little dull.

It seems that the Aburame family has quite a problem with their eyesight.

"No, I didn't forget."

Then rejected it outright.

The two people were talking as they walked.

However, a dark shadow quietly approached behind the two of them at some point, holding a bright sharp knife in its hand.

The insect in the girl's hand was slightly restless.

But her voice was still so calm.

"I want to ask you to help me kill someone..."

Uchiha Tatsumi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This time it was really beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that Aburame Eri came to him because she wanted his help to kill someone.

She actually has enemies in the Kingdom of Rain?

"who?"

I was a little curious and then asked.

...

The black figure behind him was startled by the conversation between the two just now.

I didn't expect that this young-looking girl would kill someone if she opened her mouth or shut her mouth.

I felt a little timid for a moment.

But the intense hunger in his stomach kept urging him to take risks.

The desire to survive is the instinct of living things.

"damn it…"

He cursed secretly in his heart.

He watched two people walk out of the inn, presumably carrying money with them.

I have been hungry for three days, and now all the rationality in my brain has been lost, leaving only the most primitive urge to find food.

The cheeks were smeared with harsh chemicals.

Then he stabbed Eri Aburame in the back of the heart with a knife.

"Die..."

"A member of the Shangshui family."

"Upstream water?"

It was obvious that he had never heard of this family.

There are countless families, large and small, in the ninja world, and not every family deserves to be known by Uchiha, who stands at the top of the family.

Then Uchiha Tatsu stretched out his hand and pinched the wrist of the person behind him.

Then twist it hard.

There was a crisp sound of broken bones, and a low wailing sound of pain, and the bright sharp knife in his hand fell.

But there was no sound of the sharp knife hitting the ground.

"Spare your life!"

The man opened his mouth wide.

Severe pain hit my wrist, and for a moment the world was spinning, and the knife in my hand fell.

Subconsciously, I wanted to beg for mercy, but my words just fell.

The sharp knife had already been inserted into his chest.

Pierced his heart.

There was also a suppressed sound of blood spurting.

He fell down onto the muddy street with a thud, staining the earth red.

"yes..."

Aburame Eri turned back to look at the body that had fallen to the ground, then looked at Uchiha Tatsu's hands that were not stained by even a drop of blood, and then pursed her lips slightly.

It's getting crisper and neater.

He was not given any chance of survival.

"The Upper Water Family."

He just casually killed a hungry homeless man, and it wasn't even worth the two of them talking to him.

Although fate is unpredictable.

But as long as you work hard, you won't end up like this.

"It's a ninja family from Iwagakure Village."

Seeing that Uchiha Tatsu didn't know, Aburame Eri explained.

"Like our Aburame family, they are a family of secret arts who are good at controlling insects."

"therefore."

"The feud between our two families has been going on since the Warring States Period."
