Soon, Kakuzu and Sasori received the first mission issued by Pain, working with Musashi and Konan to recruit new members.
Originally, Musashi, Kakuzu, and Sasori were supposed to go together, but Xiaonan felt that the three of them had only been in for a short time and might not be reliable, so he thought about going to supervise.
According to White Zetsu's information, the four of them arrived at Mount Sumeru, which is located on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.
"Is that guy really worth the four of us coming together? This is a bit of a waste of manpower. I have enough time to kill two million-level bounty ninjas."
On the way up the mountain, Kakuzu said in a deep voice, without a trace of trying to hide the dissatisfaction in his words.
Xiaonan glanced at Jiaodu calmly, then said: "The organization naturally has its own arrangements, everything is just for safety.
Once the organization has recruited all the members, we will proceed with the two-person team operation mode."
Kakuzu reluctantly accepted Konan's words and said nothing more.
But for some reason, he seemed to feel inexplicably irritated when he saw Xiaonan, as if the two of them had conflicting horoscopes.
Kakuzu was a little confused, but he was too lazy to think about it. Women would only affect the speed at which he made money.
He had met many women during his wanderings in the ninja world, many of whom were spendthrift girls who liked to spend their husbands' money recklessly.
Kakuzu couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about it. It was too horrible. He actually spent his hard-earned money on those meaningless luxury items. He didn't want to become anyone's money bag.
"There are four people's auras in the northwest direction, but they are not particularly strong. I don't know if they are the Hiruhu we are looking for." Musashi sensed it and then said.
"The information didn't mention Bei Liuhu's strength, but only mentioned that he has great potential in forbidden techniques. I'll go take a look first."
After saying that, Xiaonan transformed into a pair of huge paper wings, flapped them and flew into the sky.
"It's great to be able to fly. The various ninjutsu and secret techniques of the ninja are so convenient. It's worthy of the existence that ended the samurai era." Musashi exclaimed enviously as he looked at Konan who was flying.
The more his strength continued to increase, the more he understood the reasons for the warriors' desolation.
Compared to the various abilities of the ninja, the samurai is really too monotonous, all he does is chop with a knife.
Perhaps this is also the reason why all countries made an agreement with the Iron Kingdom that the warriors of the Iron Kingdom are not allowed to learn ninjutsu and that everyone should not invade each other.
Those guys left over from the old days are no longer a threat, just let them have fun on their own.
"Oh, you're not a ninja?" Scorpion became interested and asked Musashi.
He thought Musashi was the kind of ninja who was good at swordsmanship.
Although Scorpion had rarely seen this kind of ninja and had never fought with it, he had heard of a lot of them. Among them, the Hidden Cloud Village, which was famous in the ninja world for its ninjutsu, had many sword masters.
The Hidden Mist Village, which is famous in the ninja world for its assassination techniques, also has many masters of swords, and even has the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Also, Konoha White Fang, who once killed his parents, was a master with a knife.
But after listening to Musashi's words, it seems that he is not a ninja, but a samurai
Indeed, Scorpion seemed to have never seen the other party use ninjutsu.
"Of course I'm not a ninja, I'm a samurai from the Land of Iron," Musashi replied.
This is not something worth hiding, and it is easy to find out. Before he left the Iron Country, he was quite famous and was a well-known genius swordsman in his place.
He also obtained the Menkyo Kaiden of his school, the Myojin Shinnen-ryu.
(The name of the genre is just random, don’t bring it in if it really exists)
It is not easy to obtain Menkyo Kaiden, which is the highest level of permission certificate of the school. You must get the teacher's approval in the battle to obtain it.
"Samurai, those people from the Land of Iron, they're really rare." Kakuzu glanced at Musashi.
He had lived for so long and had never seen many real warriors.
Of course, the samurai he was talking about were not those people who dared to call themselves samurai just by holding a sword and wearing decent armor.
Now the only people who can be called samurai in the ninja world are those in the Iron Kingdom.
The samurai of the Iron Kingdom don't like to go out very much because there are ninjas everywhere outside.
Ninjas also don't like to go to the Iron Country because the weather there is cold and it is covered with snow all year round. Moreover, compared to other countries in the ninja world, it is like another world in terms of its system and culture.
Even their leader is still called the general. Was this a title from a thousand or two thousand years ago
Perhaps those who like to study the history of the samurai era will like Iron Kingdom.
"Yes, it's rare. Maybe if you leave the Iron Country, you will feel abandoned by history."
"You're just deceiving yourself." Kakuzu sneered.
"I have to say, you really deserve a beating." Musashi said bluntly.
You can complain about your hometown freely, but you can’t say anything about others.
"I don't know what special effects the samurai's heart will have. I haven't tried it yet." Kakuzu replied fearlessly.
Kakuzu has never been afraid of anyone, and this young man dares to speak rudely. He must let him know the cruelty of the ninja world.
Looking at the two people who suddenly started quarreling, Xie said kindly: "You have to fight faster, it will be difficult if Baihu comes back."
Scorpion wished that one of Kakuzu and Musashi would die, or even better, both of them would die, so that he could use them as puppets. Therefore, it was impossible for him to stop the fight, and it would be more like just cheering them on.
After all, they are not familiar with each other, so you are thinking too much if you expect them to love each other.
But what Scorpion wanted to happen did not happen in the end because Xiaonan came back.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the tense situation between Musashi and Kakuzu, Konan asked indifferently.
"He cursed the Iron Kingdom, and I wanted to chop him down," Musashi answered honestly.
"I want to teach the younger generation what it means to respect the elders." Kakuzu was also very blunt.
"Don't cause trouble now, solve it yourselves when you go back." Xiaonan said coldly.
She knew that desperate criminals like Kakuzu and Scorpion were unreliable. If she hadn't come, these people might have fought each other first.
Both of them gave Xiaonan face, stopped temporarily, and followed Xiaonan to Beiluhu's base in Mount Xumi.
"I looked around from the sky, and apart from here, there are very few signs of human activities in other places. This should be it." Xiaonan said.
After saying that, Xiaonan waved his hand and a few pieces of paper floated to the door of the Beiliuhu base.
Boom!
!
There was a loud explosion, and the burst of fire illuminated everyone's face.
Xiaonan directly blew open the door of the Beiruhu base.
"Let's go in." Xiaonan said coldly. With the huge white paper wings on his body, he seemed like an angel without any human emotions.
