Chapter 158 - Rainy Night

A busy day passed, and night slowly fell in the Land of Rain.

Because there were no tools to help, and the rain and accumulated water interfered, the engineering difficulty of the Land of Rain construction site was far above that of Wave Country.

However, the ordinary Ninja of the Land of Rain were more numerous than those of Wave Country, with one being able to top several ordinary workers. In addition, with the assistance of Earth Release and Water Release, the progress was not much slower.

Because the power supply was destroyed and has not yet been restored, lighting is provided by more traditional torches and candlesticks. When the sun goes down, work has to stop.

After getting off work, the workers eat in the cafeteria, return home, chat briefly with family and friends, and then turn off the lights to rest.

Following the traditional work and rest schedule of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

When the last candlelight in the housing area went out, and only the dense sound of rain and the faint sound of snoring could be heard in the night, the mice began to move quietly.

In the dark, in the housing area where only a few sparks flickered, several pairs of eyes seemed to light up slightly, and there were faint shadows flickering, hiding in the shadows and moving lightly and silently.

Whirr—

It seemed as if a breeze blew by, and even the rain became a little more rapid.

A Black Shadow appeared outside Naruto's temporary office building.

Because it was only temporarily built, the appearance of the office building was quite simple, and there was not even a single staff member on duty outside.

The Black Shadow was wearing a black combat uniform, and even his entire head was wrapped in a black scarf, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

Standing in front of the office building's door, the Black Shadow formed hand seals, performing a unique secret technique.

His mouth opened and closed silently, but no sound was made.

"I'm preparing to sneak in, you keep a lookout for me, remember to remind me if anyone comes over."

After speaking, the Black Shadow did not act directly, but waited quietly in place for the other party's response.

After a moment, a vague but familiar voice came.

"Don't worry, I'm already in position, the three of them have already turned off the lights to rest, I will send a signal if there is anything unusual."

Hearing this, the Black Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, then I will sneak in."

After speaking, the Black Shadow gradually began to lower the sound of his breathing and heartbeat, and his whole person completely merged into the shadows.

He couldn't help but be cautious. Although he had never seen the three little brats take action these days, the civilians here praised them as if they were gods.

Having traveled the Shinobi World for so many years, he understood that he could not underestimate anyone, especially the old people, women, and children.

Especially since the commission fee this time was not low. If it was just a simple reward, it would not be possible to have such a high amount.

And the content of the reward was information about the Land of Rain. He didn't know exactly what information was needed, and he didn't have that much time to play stealth here, so he simply came to this office building to find it.

He was quite confident in his disguise ability and infiltration ability. He relied on this method of merging into the darkness to steal countless confidential information.

He relied on this ability to specialize in accepting tasks to steal information at the Underground Exchange for a living.

Without a sound, the door of the office building quickly opened a crack, and the Black Shadow entered the office building like a ghost, squatting in front of the door, looking around.

His eyesight was better than ordinary people, even in dark spaces, he could see the surrounding outlines clearly.

"The files should be on the second floor."

The Black Shadow glanced around roughly, finding it to be just an ordinary living room.

He continued to feel around gently, and soon found the stairs leading to the second floor.

Gulong...

In the silent and dead office building, a subtle sound rang out like a thunderclap, it was the sound of a wooden wheel rolling over the floor, coming from above the stairs.

Gulong gulong—

The sound kept coming, getting closer and closer.

Right above the stairs!

The Black Shadow didn't hesitate at all, his right hand directly pressed on the hilt of the knife at the back of his waist, and immediately looked up.

"Gulu!"

The Black Shadow swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

In the pitch-black world, he couldn't see the other person's appearance at all, he only saw an even deeper Black Shadow, and a pair of Purple Eyes that gradually lit up in the darkness.

Those Purple Eyes appeared particularly enchanting and terrifying in the pitch-black space.

"I didn't expect that the rat would find its way here first."

A low voice sounded in this dark and silent environment, which made the Black Shadow even more horrified.

He didn't expect that at this time, there would still be someone in this office building.

Chiang!

The short knife at the back of the Black Shadow's waist was instantly unsheathed, and the whole person pounced towards the Black Shadow on the stairs like a cheetah.

Now that he was exposed, there were naturally infiltration methods after exposure.

Although he was better at infiltration, his fist and foot skills were not weak either.

Just as he was about to jump up with all his strength, suddenly, it was as if an invisible mountain crashed down, and that incomparably huge force slammed into his body like a surging torrent.

In an instant, his whole person was like being slapped **** the ground by a giant hand descending from the sky, making a muffled "bang" sound.

This sudden heavy blow caught him off guard, and he only felt that his internal organs seemed to have been shaken out of place, and a heart-wrenching pain instantly spread throughout his body.

Before he could stay on the ground for long, a powerful suction force suddenly came, as if an invisible hand was tightly grabbing his body, not giving him any chance to resist.

In an instant, he only felt like a light leaf, completely losing control of his body.

Immediately afterwards, his whole person suddenly rose into the air as if by magic.

Accompanied by the whistling wind and the feeling of weightlessness brought about by the rapid ascent, he sped straight towards the top of the stairs. The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see his figure clearly.

"Ugh!"

Letting out another muffled groan, he only felt his head being grabbed by a hand.

When he opened his eyes again, a pair of swirling eyes emitting a strange purple light appeared in front of him!

Those eyes were like a bottomless vortex, seemingly capable of sucking in a person's very soul.

"Spare... spare me..."

Nagato didn't give him a chance to waste words. Immediately afterward, it was as if he saw his own appearance from a third-person perspective.

"Received a bounty from the Underground Exchange? That's not a bad idea."

Nagato, having pulled out the other party's soul, also saw all of their memories.

He had originally planned to eliminate all the rats entering the Land of Rain tonight, but he didn't expect someone to come knocking on his door.
