Chapter 228: Rebellious Serpent (1)
Chapter 228 The Rebellious Snake (1)
Valley of Hypocrisy, in the forest outside.
From this place, you can just see the collapsing mountain.
The five of them, Jiaodu and Chongnan, were already waiting there, watching the spectacular scene of the collapse of the mountain together.
The place called the Valley of Hypocrisy has been completely turned into a ruin and no longer exists.
"Before coming here, I never thought that the Valley of Hypocrisy would be such a place."
The worm man sighed with emotion.
The villagers living inside are all defected ninjas, who have abandoned everything outside, and used the transformation technique to pretend to be another person to live again... It is simply self-deception.
It can only be said that these people are very sad for denying their past life in this way.
What's more, this kind of peace is still based on the influence of illusion, so it looks even more hypocritical.
"As long as there is war in this world, people who want to escape from **** will still yearn for such a place."
Tu Nan and the others looked at the collapsed mountain and expressed their feelings.
The people living here cannot be said to be incompetent, but they are already exhausted just by surviving in this world.
They live alone in the world, and even if they live in the world, they feel that they are superfluous. Then, the Valley of Hypocrisy is their only refuge.
It's just that, even if they don't break this peace, someone else will break it sooner or later.
There is no shame in escaping. The most rare thing for human beings is the courage to face difficulties.
"Compared to this, you should be more concerned about the loss of me, an elderly person. I have been running around for a few days without a break for you, and all the work of collecting debts has been canceled these days. How do you plan to compensate?"
Jiang interjected incomprehensibly.
"You never rest, do you?"
The worm man was a little speechless.
"Can that be the same?"
corners narrowed their eyes, flashing a dangerous light.
"Got it, how about ten million taels?"
"If you think your life is only worth ten million taels, then pretend I didn't say so."
"..."
Why do you suddenly feel that Mr. Kakutsu is much more interesting?
Compared with money, the bug man cares more about this issue.
At this time, Liuli came over, and nodded when she saw that nothing had happened to Kadotsu and Chongnan.
"This mission is considered a perfect solution. When you act later, remember to be careful, and don't fall into the enemy's trap easily."
"yes."
The five people in Xuanyuan responded at the same time, with serious faces.
This trip to the Valley of Hypocrisy can be said to let them know that they are also seriously inadequate in some respects.
Even if you perform various bounty tasks in the underground black market and fight various enemies, there are still enemies in this world that make them helpless.
Compared to Jiraiya, one of the Sannin who was defeated by them, there are stronger ninjas.
The water in the ninja world is very deep, and one or two enemies as difficult as this time will appear somewhere.
"Let's go."
Liuli turned her head and took a deep look at the collapsed mountain, the unnamed village chief was crushed under the mountain.
In that situation, it is impossible to survive.
The nameless village head who lost all important people due to the war has no meaning in life.
His life was over when he decided to build the Valley of Hypocrisy.
The one who fought her before was just the false personality that the nameless village chief had molded himself decades ago.
Therefore, for him, death is the real relief.
These are bad times, and Promised Land doesn't exist.
Only when you have power can you protect everything you cherish.
Fear and fear are the most meaningless things.
When Liuli and the others left, the villagers in the Valley of Hypocrisy who were not far away did not step forward to stop them, but just watched the collapsed valley with complicated and sad expressions.
But everyone didn't say a word. The self-awareness was affected by the illusion of the unnamed village head, and they understood this.
Even so, they are still willing to return to live in this false village.
"Build a new one."
So, after a long silence, someone spoke.
This sentence infected other people, they all nodded and chose to agree.
They can no longer live in the real world.
Their consciousness has surrendered to that falsehood.
So, even if it’s a disguised peace, if you keep using the illusion of peace to paralyze yourself, you don’t want to go back to the real ninja world.
But they all understand that they are just going from one **** to another hell.
They are all ninjas, mastering all kinds of ninjutsu, they just need to open up another Valley of Hypocrisy.
Among them, there was a child who didn't take any action. Instead, he stared at Liuli and the others who had left the Valley of Hypocrisy with an almost resentful gaze, as if he wanted to keep their figure firmly in his heart.
It was this group of people who destroyed their homeland.
Let them breathe the dirty and ugly air outside...
Obviously they just want to live an ordinary life, why should they be treated like this?
Or in other words, it’s just rejection and jealousy of outsiders.
Why saw the peace and beauty here, but didn’t agree with it at all, but continued to return to reality. Isn't the peace here worthy of their cherishment and nostalgia?
The seeds of hatred were etched in the heart of this child.

"Master Nagato, the Valley of Hypocrisy seems to have been destroyed..."
Bai Jue brought Nagato to the Valley of Hypocrisy three hours later.
Here they see the villagers who are constantly toiling to rebuild the Valley of Hypocrisy.
This time they don't plan to build a village on the mountainside, but start to expand a peaceful paradise underground.
The original valley of hypocrisy has completely collapsed and no longer exists.
"..."
Nagato, who had a panoramic view of all this, also silently watched the scene in front of him.
Without saying much, Nagato turned around and planned to leave.
Suddenly at this moment, a childish voice came from my ear:
"Are you also here to destroy the peace of the Valley of Hypocrisy?"
These words made Nagato stop in his tracks. The one who spoke was a boy about ten years old who was standing under the shade of a tree, staring straight at Nagato, and asked such words.
Nagato also looked at this child, it should be the child of the Valley of Hypocrisy.
But he heard that the Valley of Hypocrisy is a place where defected ninjas are concentrated. This child did not use the transformation technique, that is to say, this is his appearance.
However, here lies the strangeness.
This child, who may not even be ten years old, has a not-so-weak Chakra in his body.
His strength may be stronger than most of the villagers working there.
Most importantly, this kid has seen blood, and probably even killed people himself, and a lot.
The eyes that ignore the world are not those ordinary children who are ignorant of the world.
Nagato shook his head and replied: "No, I came here to find the village chief, but it seems that the Valley of Hypocrisy has been destroyed."
"Looking for the village chief?"
The child pointed to the original ruins of the Valley of Hypocrisy and said: "The village chief was buried there, and he is dead now."
When he said this, his face was a little ferocious and distorted.
But then calm again.
"Really...that's a pity. I had something to do with him. Now that he's dead, let's let it go."
According to Bai Zee, the village head of the Valley of Hypocrisy is a powerful illusion ninja who was once defeated by Uchiha Madara.
Because all the acquaintances in the world died in the war, so I escaped everything in the world and came here to live in seclusion.
And used illusion on himself to make himself forget the past, and fabricated a false personality to serve as the village head here.
His illusion is very special and can be released in a large area. The reason why the Valley of Hypocrisy has been peaceful for many years and has not been disturbed by anyone is because of his extremely powerful illusion of range.
And use the sense of smell to trick the enemy, as long as you step into the territory of the valley of hypocrisy, you will be unknowingly affected by the illusion.
The longer he stays here, the deeper the level of illusion becomes, the less likely he is to defeat the village chief.
He originally thought that since the village head also has the ideal of peace, he must be interested in Akatsuki.
As long as he can be persuaded to give up the illusory peace similar to the infinite monthly reading style, he can become Akatsuki's help.
After all, his illusion. According to Bai Jue, Madara also spent a lot of effort to break free from his illusion.
Those who have regrets and remorse will be manipulated by his illusion to become puppets.
Such a powerful person should not bury his life here.
At the last moment of life, it is good to contribute to the splendid fireworks of the world.
Now that I think about it, this wish is impossible to come true.
"By the way, can you tell me who destroyed this place?"
Although the operation failed, it was not without gains.
The village head of the Valley of Hypocrisy, although his strength has declined due to his age, is not something that any ninja can defeat.
If you can recruit the ninja who defeated the village head of the Valley of Hypocrisy, it is also a good choice.
The child replied without hesitation: "It's a woman in a black tights with red eyes. She can control a huge blood-colored giant and defeat the village chief."
"Red Eyes...Scarlet Giant..."
Nagato murmured, and a person suddenly appeared in his mind.
Bai Jue also suddenly realized and shouted: "Isn't that Uchiha Ruri? What is she doing in the Valley of Hypocrisy?"
"Uchiha... Liuli?"
That kid seemed interested in it.
Before Nagato opened his mouth, Bai Jue started to talk too much: "She is an extremely dangerous woman, and she is a hateful woman who likes to show off her tricks whenever she meets her!"
A Fei once said that in this world, there are two people he fears most, one is Madara and the other is Ruri.
Different from people like Madara, Ruri is a ninja who loves fighting more.
My favorite way of fighting is to throw my ultimate move first, and mercilessly destroy all enemies in front of me.
"Bai Jue, shut your mouth, there is no need to tell a child about this kind of thing."
He could clearly see the hatred in this child's eyes.
This child wants revenge on Uchiha Ruri who destroyed the Valley of Hypocrisy.
However, Nagato doesn't think he can do this.
Letting him know about Liuli is just to let him die in vain.
"However, this child seems to have extraordinary power. Maybe he can cause some trouble for Uchiha Ruri in the future."
Bai Jue scratched his head and said.
"Even so, it shouldn't be done."
After Nagato finished speaking, he left directly from here.
Bai Jue did not leave immediately, but looked at the child and asked, "Little devil, what's your name?"
"Name? My name is Yi... No, my name is Bubuyue."
He answered Bai Jue like this.
Bai Jue smiled and said: "You are really interesting. You are worthy of being a person in the Valley of Hypocrisy. Bubuyue...is a false personality created by you."
"That's not true! I'm Bubuyue!"
The child answered in a loud voice.
"So, the people here are very hypocritical. You have forgotten your real name, and you can only simulate a false personality to survive in the world. I have never seen such a poor person as you."
Bai Jue smiled amusedly, and then, under the dissatisfied eyes of the boy every step of the way, he got into the soil.
"If you can cause some trouble for Uchiha Ruri in the future, this trip will not be in vain. However, it is impossible for a kid like you to grow to that height in a lifetime."
Didn't care about Bai Jue's deliberate provocation, Bu Buyue just looked at Yuankong.
"Uchiha Ruri...I will kill her..."
Destroyed his hometown and killed the great village chief he respected and loved. This revenge must be avenged!
◎
"Is it a hypocritical place created by illusion? It seems that your experience this time is quite rich."
After reading the mission report and having a general understanding of the mission's execution process, Baishi smiled at Liuli with great interest.
After knowing all the true features of the Valley of Hypocrisy, Baishi couldn't help but lament how profoundly war has devastated human beings.
In order to avoid the persecution of the war, the unnamed village head defected from the original village, just to open up a refuge village from the world—Valley of Hypocrisy.
In the past, there must have been many ninjas like Wuming Village Chief who suffered from wars.
It's just that they don't have the strength of the nameless village chief, and they have died on the road to peace.
"Yes, although I don't like to use illusion very much, but this time it can be regarded as an increase in my further thinking about illusion."
Liu Li replied with a smile.
She is also belatedly aware, in fact, the illusion of the nameless village chief has already enveloped all the land in the Valley of Hypocrisy.
If it wasn't because of his old age and frailty, his strength was greatly reduced, and it might not be that simple to break that illusion.
But there are not so many ifs in the world.
After all, without such years of accumulation, the illusion of the nameless village chief would not be so terrifying.
The anonymous village head’s decades of research on illusions has already led her to order the water dragon **** to bring it out of the Valley of Hypocrisy.
The thinking and research on illusion above opened Liuli's horizons.
Olfactory illusion is definitely an extremely rare type of illusion in the ninja world, and even rarely studied by people.
Unless you don't breathe, you will be eroded by this illusion.
In the future, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan in the ghost country will have another way to learn illusion.
"Then I can only look forward to it."
Shiraishi is not proficient in illusion, he can only say that he knows how to use it.
Moreover, the way of releasing the illusion is too rigid, and it has little meaning against the enemy in actual combat.
He is very good at dispelling illusions, and his best is the study of Yin Dun and Yang Dun.
Shadow Dancer is a manifestation of Yin Dun.
And his healing fairy art is the combination of Yang Dun and immortal art.
He believes that if he continues to practice the healing art, he may be able to regenerate a broken limb.
"By the way, this is a gift for you."
Liuli took out a palm-sized glass bottle from the ninja bag.
It was half full of water.
"This is?"
Holding this glass bottle, Shiraishi didn't know what it was for a while.
"In the dictation of the unnamed village chief, he called this kind of water hallucinogenic water, which can emit a smell similar to natural breath, so that the enemy can be tricked by illusion. The Xuanyuan people were knocked down by the aroma produced by the wildflowers eroded by this kind of water."
"Why is that corner..."
"Probably because he has a special body structure."
Xuan Yuanzhong's body, although modified, is actually no different from ordinary humans.
The body is transformed only for the convenience of using secret techniques.
And Kakuzu's body... To be honest, Shiraishi doesn't think it's human anymore.
Only the surface layer of the body is still a human part, and inside the inner cavity, apart from a few hearts, there are a lot of black tentacles with 'life'.
According to Kakuzu, his physical endurance far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and his illusion resistance is also very high.
It should also benefit from the secret technique called 'Earth Resentment'.
"If this is the case, this water does have high research value. But is this the only point?"
"It's gone. The river was affected when the mountain collapsed, and it has been destroyed now. The fragrance has also disappeared from the river, and only this little native water remains."
"..."
The words of 'violent waste of things' still failed to come out of Baishi's mouth.
"That's how it is. The remnants of the Blood Mist faction need to be wiped out as soon as possible. I hope there will be no more troubles on Xuanyuanzhong's side."
Holding the glass bottle containing hallucinogenic water, Shiraishi sighed.
After all, Yakura’s money was collected, and if things are not done well, Xuan Yuanzhong’s signboard will be smashed.
However, Baishi didn't think Xuan Yuanzhong's luck would be so unlucky.
Valley of Hypocrisy and Nameless Village Chief are definitely rare in the ninja world.
◎
April, Konoha.
"The above is the entire content of this meeting, and it is now dissolved."
In a brightly lit meeting room, all the people here are wearing hooded windbreakers, mainly in black and white.
At the front of the conference table, there are two people sitting.
Judging from the body shape, it is a man and a woman.
The two of them are the minister and deputy minister of Konoha Anbe.
He was born in the Konoha celebrity Sarutobi clan, and is also the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the third generation of Hokage who is now in charge of Konoha.
Although the two of them do not make a statement, most of the time they are secretly operating to protect Konoha, but their strength exceeds most of Konoha's jounin.
It is said that if the two join forces, even Sannin will suffer a lot.
In fact, a ninja who achieves such a position must not be a weak person.
After the two of them announced the dissolution of the meeting, the Anbu members present walked towards the meeting room.
"Kakashi, you stay."
Just as a relatively short Anbu was about to walk out of the conference room door, he was stopped by a calm male voice.
Kakashi's face under the mask was slightly surprised, but he didn't show any abnormality. He paused at the door, then turned and walked back into the conference room.
"Minister, Deputy Minister, do you have any orders?"
Anbu's work is very busy, that's for sure.
For Kakashi, it makes no difference whether he works under Sensei Fourth Hokage or under Third Hokage.
However, compared to the previous days under Minato, there are still normal holidays now.
After all, the Anbu personnel under Minato had to gather together themselves, and many things could only be done by Kakashi.
Three generations of Hokage don’t need to do this at all. There are quite a few ninjas who are as strong as him, or even surpass him.
Kakashi is very curious about the purpose of the two people in front of him calling him back. If there is anything, just say it at the conference table just now, and there is no need to negotiate in private.
"Actually, there is a secret mission, and I want you to lead your own team to investigate it."
"Secret mission?"
Kakashi blinked.
"Do you know about the recent disappearances in the village?"
"I've heard something... Doesn't it mean that the progress is going well?"
Kakashi asked strangely.
He knew about this matter.
In February of this year, there were many cases of missing persons in Konoha.
Missing people range from ordinary people to the ninja class.
"In fact, the progress has not been smooth, but because of the public opinion outside, I have to say this. Before you, there are three teams to carry out the investigation, but the progress is not much, I hope your team will also intervene. Because in the Anbu, I suspect that a nail has been buried. That's why that person can always avoid the Anbu's tracking."
"If this is the case, it is not difficult to guess."
Kakashi wanted to say that there are only a handful of people with this ability in Konoha.
First is strength, and then a ninja who understands Anbu and can reach into Anbu, the target is easy to lock.
High-level elders, high-level advisors, Sannin, other than that, there is no one else.
But Kakashi felt strange, if Orochimaru and Danzo did it, why didn't he know it at all?
It seems that those two people did not trust him completely. That's all Kakashi could explain.
"That's the way it is. Due to some rules, it is necessary to seize conclusive evidence."
One of the two ministers said solemnly to Kakashi.
They obviously also targeted some characters, but once some high-level ninjas are involved, they cannot be convicted in a few words.
Anbu can only carry out the arrest if he has the evidence, otherwise he has violated the rules.
Because I am Anbu, I have to regulate myself in every word and deed.
"Yes. I see."
Kakashi nodded, and assured the two ministers that he would investigate the matter seriously.
"Kakashi...is he trustworthy?"
It was a woman who asked the question.
The masked man next to him responded: "Among Anbu, there is no more credible ninja than him. He is the one who saved Jiraiya's life. Even he can't be trusted. Who else can be trusted?"
The man seemed to admire Kakashi very much.
The woman nodded, thinking that what her husband said made sense.
If even Kakashi is untrustworthy, then there will be no more credible members in Anbu.
(PS: The second chapter will be later)
