Naruto: I Sell Jars in Konoha Village.

Chapter 206 Pain: A building that shouldn't exist has appeared in Amegakure; I should have know

"yes!"

One of the Root ninjas nodded immediately, his gaze calm and his tone unwavering.

"Remember, don't act rashly. Observe their movements first and see what Hiashi Hyuga is up to." The Root ninja's voice carried a hint of authority and instruction.

"clear."

After a brief exchange, the Root ninjas dispersed in unison.

Moving silently along both sides of the street like a ghost, they followed Hyuga Hiashi and Hanabi while maintaining a distance without leaving a trace.

Every step was carefully calculated to ensure that it would not make any noise and would not be noticed by the Hyuga father and daughter in front of them.

Hiashi Hyuga, carrying Hanabi, strode forward, completely unaware of the pursuers lurking behind them.

His mind was filled with anxious thoughts, and he was eager to get to the original location of Lin Mo's shop as soon as possible.

Behind him, the Root ninjas watched their every move with icy, piercing gazes, their eyes flashing with the ruthlessness and caution characteristic of Root members.

Along the streets, the morning light shines through the towering buildings of Konoha Village, casting shadows on the ground.

But these Root ninjas seemed to be walking in the invisible shadows, silently following in Hyuga Hiashi's footsteps, waiting for their chance to strike.

As Hiashi Hyuga's pace quickened, the expressions of the Root ninjas grew increasingly solemn.

They seemed to realize that there might be some unknown secret hidden behind this pursuit.

Not long after they left, the Root ninja stopped, their faces filled with shock.

Because in their line of sight, they could see Hyuga Hiashi with Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Hanabi standing in the street, seemingly looking at an open space.

For a moment, the group looked at each other.

They thought they were going to see something secret.

And then I saw Hiashi Hyuga standing on the street with his two daughters??

Hiashi Hyuga, who had stopped, saw the empty ground in front of him.

Except for the fact that the familiar, mysterious jar shop has long since disappeared, the surrounding buildings and streets remain unchanged, as if nothing has changed.

Witnessing this scene firsthand, Hiashi Hyuga's expression was extremely grave.

He clearly remembered that he had been chatting amicably with Lin Mo here yesterday, and even opened the jar yesterday.

But today, it all seems like a dream, disappearing silently into the twilight.

"Gone... really gone."

Hiashi Hyuga's throat tightened slightly, and he muttered to himself, as if unwilling to accept the reality before him.

Feeling the cold morning wind brush against his face, Hiashi Hyuga was completely unable to calm the anxiety and fear in his heart.

Lin Mo's mysterious shop is not only his hope for personal power enhancement, but also the key to the Hyuga clan's rise in status within the village!

With the item in the jar that can rapidly increase strength, the Hyuga clan may have a chance to surpass their past in this world.

However, the shop has now vanished without warning, as if it had never existed.

Why did it suddenly disappear?

Hiashi Hyuga frowned deeply, his mind filled with countless questions and speculations.

It's perfectly fine, there's no reason for it to suddenly disappear.

Or is it that Mr. Lin Mo doesn't intend to stay in Konoha Village for a long time?

But if that's the case, why didn't you give them a heads-up?

Hiashi Hyuga stared intently at the empty space in front of him, trying to find a clue in this familiar ground.

But everything seemed so calm, as if the mysterious shop from yesterday was just a figment of his imagination.

For a moment, Hiashi Hyuga's face turned grim, and a great worry welled up in his heart.

If Lin Mo never comes back, then his plan to improve his strength will completely fall through.

The Hyuga clan will also miss this rare opportunity.

More importantly, Hiashi Hyuga knew that if the Hyuga clan did not make a breakthrough in strength, their status in Konoha would only become more and more marginalized in the future.

After all, Danzo was already eager to take action against the Hyuga clan.

After a moment of contemplation, Hiashi Hyuga turned his head and looked at Hinata and Hanabi, who were standing beside him with bewildered expressions.

The two of them were also in the shop last night, so they might be able to provide some clues.

"Hinata, Hanabi, what did you see in the shop yesterday?"

"Has Mr. Lin Mo said when he will leave?"

Hiashi Hyuga spoke in a low voice, his brows furrowed with worry, and his eyes held a hint of urgency.

Hinata and Hanabi exchanged a glance after hearing what Hiashi Hyuga said.

Recalling yesterday's events, Hinata hesitated and said, "Mr. Lin Mo did not say he would leave. Yesterday, Hanabi and I trained under Tsunade's guidance."

"We went out for lunch, and we even had drinks in the evening. Mr. Lin Mo was very happy at the time."

"yes."

Hanabi nodded and added, "We haven't heard anything about the shop suddenly disappearing either." Hearing Hinata and Hanabi's words, Hiashi Hyuga frowned even more.

His gaze swept back and forth across the open space, as if hoping that Lin Mo would suddenly emerge from some corner and explain all the changes that had occurred.

However, the reality was harsh: only a few scattered morning breezes blew across the open space, and there was no sign of the mysterious shop.

Hiashi Hyuga felt very heavy-hearted.

The promising future that was once held in high regard has now vanished into nothingness.

Taking a deep breath, Hiashi Hyuga suppressed the anxiety surging within him and tried to make his voice sound calm: "In that case, it seems we can only continue to wait and hope that Mr. Lin Mo is only temporarily gone, and not completely gone."

"By the way, Father."

While they were talking, Hinata Hanabi suddenly remembered something and quickly whispered, "Tenten-nee might know that when we parted ways at the izakaya last night, she left with Lin Mo-nie."

"And normally, Sister Tiantian and Brother Linmo have a very good relationship."

"Maybe Sister Tiantian will find out."

Thinking back to the time she saw Lin Mo and Tian Tian walking together last night before she left, Hinata Hanabi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga narrowed his eyes.

It really is so.

The kid at the ninja tool shop has a good relationship with the shop owner.

"I see."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly: "Then let's go back first. You can go to the ninja tool shop again this afternoon."

"Huh? Go down?"

Hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Hanabi Hyuga was somewhat confused: "Can't we go there now?"

"The ninja tool shop might not be open yet."

Hiashi Hyuga shook his head slightly and said, "Moreover, we have already attracted the attention of quite a few people along the way." As he said this, Hiashi Hyuga's gaze was calm, and he glanced disdainfully at the hiding place of the Root ninja not far behind him.

Because he is standing on the street now.

With more and more pedestrians around, the Root ninja had no way of knowing why he had come here.

I can't think of anything even if I rack my brains.

"So that's how it is."

Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Hyuga Da and Hanabi Hyuga understood.

Immediately afterwards, Hiashi Hyuga left with Hanabi Hyuga and Hinata, and they wandered around.

The Root ninjas who witnessed all of this had their eyelids twitching violently.

"Is this bastard playing us?"

"We were followed by him and he discovered us; he definitely saw us in his last glance."

Several Root ninjas looked grim.

They thought they would discover some secret, but unexpectedly, they were tricked by Hiashi Hyuga. Knowing that they were being followed, he still rushed over, making them think that they would find something.

They found nothing.

Hiashi Hyuga's "actions" disgusted them first thing in the morning.

Immediately, several Root ninjas fled away with grim expressions.

And at this very moment.

the other side.

Amegakure Village.

This place is shrouded in thick clouds all year round, as if the sun's radiance has never touched this land.

The rain fell like threads from the sky, like an endless curtain, densely sprinkling every corner of the village.

The entire village was enveloped in the tear-like rain, and occasionally a few pedestrians could be seen hurrying by on the muddy streets.

Their figures were quickly blurred by the rain and mist, as if they had blended into the heavy atmosphere.

The buildings on both sides of the street are old and dilapidated, mottled from rain erosion, and covered with moss on their gray walls.

Raindrops fell on the tiles, making a continuous pattering sound, as if telling a silent lament for the village.

Towering buildings stand in the center of the village.

That is the core of Amegakure.

The towering buildings appeared particularly desolate and lonely in the rain.

Countless raindrops slid down the tower walls, like silent tears, flowing down this cold building.

At the top of this tower, Payne and Konan were walking side by side.

Payne's cold, stern face appeared even more serene under the dark clouds, and his Rinnegan eyes gleamed with a profound light.

Xiao Nan followed closely behind.

Her face was as cold and aloof as an ice sculpture, and her long blue hair was intertwined with the rain, exuding a unique cold beauty.

The rain pelted the two of them, as if they were the true masters of this rainy realm amidst the endless curtain of rain.

"Payne, this time we need to deal with..."

Xiao Nan's voice was deep and calm, with a hint of coldness.

Her tone blended seamlessly with the chill of the rain, sounding incredibly calm and focused.

However, before she could finish speaking, Payne suddenly stopped.

Payne's figure appeared incredibly solemn in the rain.

Those deep Rinnegan eyes were fixed on the rain curtain in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had caught some strange aura.

Konan noticed Payne's unusual behavior and stopped, turning to look at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Pain, what's wrong?"

Payne's eyes narrowed slightly, raindrops slid down his face, and a deep light shone in his purple pupils.

His voice carried a hint of coldness as he whispered, "There's a problem... Under my Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, a building that shouldn't exist has appeared in Amegakure."

"architecture?"

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Subconsciously, her gaze followed the direction Payne was looking.

But in the rain, it was impossible to see the outline of the so-called "building".

Most importantly, Konan didn't quite understand what Payne was saying.

It's important to know that Pain's Rain Tiger Technique is an ability that combines perception with weather control.

Its main functions are to control rainwater and monitor the movements within the entire Rain Village.

By using this technique, Pain could sense any anomalies in the rain, including fluctuations in chakra and intrusions by outsiders.

But Payne just mentioned a building?

"Yes."

Pain nodded, his brow furrowing deeper, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't belong here, and it has never appeared in any records of Amegakure."

"Its existence is as if it appeared out of thin air on this land."

"The most crucial point is that I didn't detect any fluctuations in chakra, but I could sense something unusual."

Payne's voice was filled with heavy wariness and coldness, as if the building itself were some kind of potential threat.

Upon hearing Payne's words, Konan's eyes flickered slightly.

Did buildings suddenly appear out of nowhere in Amegakure?

She wouldn't have believed it if those words hadn't come from Payne's mouth.

She could understand that people could appear out of thin air.

But architecture?

"Even a sealing scroll cannot seal a building inside."

Xiao Nan spoke softly, "Should we go and confirm?"

"need."

Pain's voice was as steady and calm as the cold rain: "Every drop of rain on this land is my eye. I will not allow any unknown entity to disrupt the order of Amegakure."

As he spoke, Payne slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of rain, as if he were looking at the mysterious building.

In those cold, ethereal eyes, an unfathomable light gleamed.

Beneath his feet, endless rain continued to fall like tears, as if to engulf the entire village in this endless curtain of rain.

"I'll go now."

Konan spoke softly and flew directly towards the place Payne had indicated.

At this moment.

In the jar shop.

When Lin Mo got up, he found that Tian Tian was still fast asleep.

Yesterday, the blanket I put on Tiantian was thrown aside by her.

Lin Mo: "

He's already awake, but Tian Tian still hasn't gotten up. That doesn't make sense.

However, looking at Tian Tian who was fast asleep, Lin Mo shook his head, got up, and went out.

As expected, the jar shop has now arrived in the new ninja village.

I should also check where my shop has ended up this time.

With a touch of curiosity, Lin Mo went downstairs and gently pushed open the door.

A wisp of damp, cold air immediately rushed towards him, mixed with fine, continuous rain. The chill was penetrating for only a moment before Lin Mo frowned slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the scene before him.

The gray sky hung low, and thick, dark clouds almost pressed down on the rooftops of the buildings.

The entire sky seemed to be soaked in leaden ink, shrouding the village.

The rain poured down from the sky without stopping, hitting the ground with a monotonous but undeniable pattering sound.

The buildings in front of me are towering and imposing, each exuding a cold and heavy industrial feel, as if they are interwoven with countless steel pillars and water pipes, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Rainwater flowed down the steel pipes, leaving long watermarks on the walls, making the village appear even more desolate and gloomy.

Lin Mo looked ahead and found that the village was full of mechanized style.

Countless iron towers and pipes crisscrossed the area. It seemed as if every corner was soaked by rain, and everywhere was damp and cold.

The dim light could not penetrate the overcast sky, making the whole village appear exceptionally cold and gloomy, like a dark world drenched by rain.

"Rain Village?!"

Looking at the surroundings, Lin Mo's eyelids twitched slightly.

How did I end up here?

The environment in this ninja village is not good.

Compared to Konoha Village, it's worlds apart.

Besides, there aren't many wealthy ninjas here.

Although he knew that Amegakure could not possibly be covered by rain in middle age, it was a ninja village that never saw the sun.

This means I won't see the sun for the next month.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo was speechless.

Damn it.

They might as well rot in Konoha.

The thought of spending the entire month in this awful place made Lin Mo's teeth ache.

Compared to Konoha, this ninja village is far inferior.

He wouldn't have thought this way if it were any of the other major ninja villages.

"Tick-tock!"

"Tick-tock!"

The rain continued to pound tirelessly against the ground, echoing in his ears.

Lin Mo stood at the door, feeling the cold air coming from outside, pondering his next plan.

He had no idea about the environment of Amegakure.

At the very least, you need to find the shops and streets here yourself.

This is really a headache.

"Tap tap tap Just then, a light and rhythmic footstep sounded in his ear."

Amidst the muffled sound of rain, the footsteps sounded exceptionally clear.

Lin Mo, who was just about to go back inside, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking out of the rain.

The man wore a long robe with a black background and red clouds, the hem of which swayed slightly in the wind and rain, making him appear exceptionally solemn and mysterious.

"Reacted that quickly?"

Seeing the clothes through the rain, Lin Mo rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

I just opened the door.

As the footsteps drew closer, rainwater streamed down the person's clothes, as if forming a water barrier around her.

As she approached, Lin Mo also saw a cold and indifferent face.

Her long purple hair was wet from the rain and clung to her cheeks.

Her eyes were as deep and still as a lake in the rain, cold yet mysteriously unapproachable.
