Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 294: Convergence (Subscription, monthly ticket)

"I was injured and just woke up not long ago."

Lin Yi covered his chest lightly. Although the wound had healed, the discomfort still lingered in Lin Yi's heart.

Tsunade noticed his actions and asked in a low voice: "Injured? Are the people from the Root organization still bothering you?"

"I'm fine. I just went to the underworld before and suffered some minor injuries there." Lin Yi said calmly.

"The underworld!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade exclaimed in unison, with looks of disbelief on their faces.

Apparently, the two had not expected that Lin Yi had gone to the underworld during the three days he disappeared.

"What's going on? Why did you end up in the underworld?"

Tsunade didn't care about much at the moment, and hurriedly came to Lin Yi and asked.

"To take care of some things."

Facing Jiraiya and Tsunade's questioning, Lin Yi briefly recounted his experiences in the underworld.

His narration left the two legendary ninjas stunned.

Obviously, the true situation in the underworld was completely beyond their imagination.

Jiraiya and Tsunade originally had some fixed understandings and expectations about the underworld, but Lin Yi's description completely overturned their concepts.

"Master Tsunade, Master Jiraiya, all the ninjas have arrived."

As the two were discussing whether or not creatures from the underworld were considered alive, an ANBU member stepped forward to report to the two, interrupting their discussion.

The two stopped talking and turned their eyes to the ninjas who had already gathered nearby.

This group of ninjas is not Konoha's top force, because the main force has all been sent to the front line.

The ninjas in the village now are either new generation forces like Tsunade and Jiraiya, who are regarded as the future hope of the village; or some older ninjas whose combat effectiveness has declined.

Now, even the village's reserve forces have been mobilized by Sarutobi Hiruzen, which is enough to show the urgency of the battle situation on the front line.

"I won't say any more nonsense, let's all go."

Under Tsunade's command, the group marched towards the Rain Country in a mighty manner.

The Rain Country, a country located between several powerful countries, has an extremely awkward geographical location. It is surrounded by six countries, and the strength of each country is far beyond it.

Especially the three big countries among them - the Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Wind Kingdom. They are like three mountains pressing down on the Rain Kingdom.

In such an environment, the Rain Country had almost no possibility of development. As long as it showed the slightest intention of expansion, the joint suppression of the three major countries would come immediately.

Therefore, the economic situation in the Rain Country has always been very bad, and the country has been in a state of turmoil for many years.

Coupled with the continuous heavy rain, the people here are living in dire straits.

According to statistics, the average life expectancy of civilians in the Rain Country is only 28 years old, a figure that cruelly reflects the chaos in the country and the suffering of its people.

However, it was this chaos and suffering that laid the groundwork for the establishment of the Akatsuki organization.

In such an environment full of oppression and despair, people are eager for change and for a force that can lead them out of their predicament.

The Akatsuki organization came into being in such a background.

Unfortunately, under the invasion of the aliens, the Akatsuki organization, which had not yet taken shape, was stillborn. After half a day's march, Lin Yi arrived at the blockade of the Fire Country with the large army.

Looking around, the border is full of patrolling soldiers, who closely monitor every corner to ensure that no monsters can sneak into the Fire Country.

In addition to the ninjas of Konoha, Lin Yi also noticed that the army of the Fire Nation was involved in the blockade.

The army was fully armed and on high alert, demonstrating how seriously the Fire Nation took this crisis.

It is clear that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation is fully aware of the threat posed by this monster.

Any negligence, even missing just one monster, could bring catastrophic consequences to the entire Fire Nation.

"Tsunade-sama, Hokage-sama has been waiting in the tent for quite some time."

When Lin Yi followed the large group to the camp gate, he discovered that the two ninjas at the gate were the two gatekeepers on duty in Konoha Village.

This time, after seeing Lin Yi, the two did not stop him and let Lin Yi enter the camp with the main force.

In the tent, Lin Yi discovered that there were not only people from Konoha in the entire camp.

In addition to the ninjas from Konoha, he also saw ninjas from Kumogakure, Kirigakage, and Sandakage.

These people seemed to be a ninja team that originally infiltrated the Fire Country to carry out a mission, but with the end of the Ninja World War, their mission was also suspended.

Now, these ninjas from different villages gather together to face new threats.

Lin Yi walked around the camp and soon found the exclusive camp built by the contractors.

Under the influence of Samsara Paradise, the natives will subconsciously ignore these items that do not conform to their conventional cognition.

However, the contractor will not be affected, so it is very convenient to identify.

After arriving at the camp, Lin Yi discovered that there were actually familiar faces inside the camp, including the people’s teacher, his teammate from the previous trial world.

When he saw Lin Yi, a look of surprise appeared on the other person's face, and then he hurried forward to greet Lin Yi.

"Doctor, I didn't expect you to be in this world."

"What's the situation now?" After Lin Yi made a few polite remarks, he directly asked the people's teachers about the current situation on the front line.

"The situation is very grim. The Fire Nation's army is completely useless against these aliens. They can only rely on ninjas to kill these monsters. However, there are too few ninjas, and they are unable to surround the monsters for a while."

The people's teacher gave Lin Yi an overview of the current war situation in the Rain Country, which was roughly consistent with Lin Yi's previous speculation.

The Fire Nation's army patrols near the border, not because the Fire Nation is unwilling to eliminate these monsters, but because the five major countries lack sufficient strength to deal with them.

At present, it is already quite difficult for the five major countries to maintain this blockade line.

Without the support of ninja villages in other small countries, the number of ninjas from the five major countries alone would not be enough to completely block the border of the Rain Country.

"We are also discussing specific countermeasures. Would you like to come in and listen?"

After the teacher finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yi into the tent, where there was a lot of noise going on.

A shield-wielding main tank and a mage were having a heated argument, with their views diametrically opposed.

The wizard waved his staff and expressed his views excitedly: "Entering the Rain Country now is undoubtedly suicide! Haven't you seen how terrifying those alien armies are? If it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's perseverance, our front would have collapsed long ago. I strongly oppose venturing into the Rain Country now. We should wait until the deadline of the mission to make a decision."

The main tank retorted without flinching: "If we don't go in now while the number of aliens is still small, and wait until their number increases, it will be a real dead end. We can't sit idly by and watch the number of alien monsters continue to grow. We must take action as soon as possible."
