Su Xiao walked on the streets of the Hidden Rain Village. There were few pedestrians, and those who passed by seemed hurried.
The Hidden Rain Village is the base of the Akatsuki Organization, heavily guarded. Subordinate ninjas are not allowed to leave the village, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Su Xiao's destination was the back street of the Hidden Rain Village, where a tall building housed the Camp Shop.
The Camp Shop is a very unique department. Su Xiao had visited it once in the Ghoul world.
This Camp Shop is different from the last one. The Naruto World is an open world, unlike the Ghoul world.
Arriving at the iron building of the Camp Shop, the building was tall and sharp, reaching dozens of meters high.
As soon as he entered the building, Su Xiao immediately felt several gazes upon him. There were many ninjas guarding inside.
Su Xiao speculated that this so-called Camp Shop was actually the logistics department of the Hidden Rain Village, not just for him to trade items, but for other Akatsuki members as well.
Tap, tap, tap...
Su Xiao walked up the specially designed stairs. The higher he went, the more ninjas were surveilling. By the time he reached the tenth floor, there was a ninja secretly watching every few meters.
He arrived on the twenty-first floor, where it was very quiet. A window resembling a general store appeared not far away.
An old man, thin and dispirited, sat behind the window. On the old man's wrist, Su Xiao faintly saw a black metal ring.
This metal was similar to the metal rods embedded in Pain's six bodies, and this old man was an ordinary person, not a ninja.
"Who are you?"
The old man looked Su Xiao up and down, then was taken aback when he saw the ring on Su Xiao's hand. It was precisely because of the 'Ring of the Void' that Su Xiao could reach here; otherwise, he would have been stopped by the ninjas along the way.
These ninjas were confidants of Nagato and Konan. The ring represented Nagato, which was also Pain.
Pain is the god of the Hidden Rain Village, and Konan is the Divine Messenger. Despite this, the Akatsuki members still acted discreetly within the village.
"What do you wish to trade?"
As soon as the old man spoke, a long list of items appeared before Su Xiao's eyes.
Seeing the first item on the list, Su Xiao's pupils contracted.
The item list included:

...
There were dozens of items on the list, most of which were low-level ninjutsu. Items belonging to Nagato could be exchanged for with Faction Contribution Points, while those belonging to other Akatsuki members required item exchanges.
Among these items, Su Xiao desired two the most.
One is the Light Gold-quality [Space Rune], which is a quality above Dark Purple. This grade of item has already started to involve space, and its power is undoubtedly strong.
Open worlds are dangerous, but the potential for rewards is higher.
Although the level of [Space Rune] is not enough to block the space teleportation of Reincarnation Paradise, it can definitely block space ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God.
If he had this item, even Uchiha Obito might be at a disadvantage. However, there is a high risk when imprinting this item, and even Nagato, its holder, had not used it, so careful consideration is needed.
The second item Su Xiao wanted was [Fire Jutsu: Great Dragon Fire Technique]. Although it's just a B-Level Ninjutsu, its power is great and its release speed is fast. In Reincarnation Paradise, its price is not lower than some A-Level Ninjutsu.
The difficulty of obtaining this item is not low and requires an item exchange with Itachi.
After checking the Camp Shop, Su Xiao directly left the Hidden Rain Village. Although the mission time was as long as two months, there was much he needed to do.
He had a faint feeling that other Contractors might not have as much time, and with different factions comes different mainline tasks. It would be best if he could confirm the other Contractors' stay duration.
If the other Contractors' stay durations are shorter, then the pressure in the later stages would greatly reduce, and he wouldn't have to worry about other Contractors interfering.
...
After leaving the range of the Hidden Rain Village, Su Xiao put on the Akatsuki uniform and wore the Ring of the Void on his finger. If any Contractor saw Su Xiao now, they'd be dumbfounded.
The border of the Land of Rain is the River Country. Once reaching the River Country, the Ring of the Void can sense the positions of nearby Akatsuki members.
After confirming the direction, Su Xiao rode on Bubu Wang to continue the journey.
After several hours of traveling, a special fluctuation came from the ring on Su Xiao's hand.
"Bubu, stop."
Bubu Wang slammed on the brakes immediately and performed a sliding motion. This goofball recently thought this move was cool.
While Su Xiao was sensing the fluctuation on the ring, Bubu Wang's sudden drift directly threw him out.
After adjusting his weight in mid-air, Su Xiao landed steadily, and Bubu Wang, sensing something was wrong, took cautious steps back.
"That drift was really cool."
Su Xiao stared at Bubu Wang with a gentle smile on his face.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao pitifully, as if saying: 'Master, put down the slipper, we can talk this out.'
Just as Su Xiao was about to deal with Bubu Wang, the fluctuation on the ring became more intense, a signal released by Nagato. This was only a possibility, indicating Nagato had something to discuss with him.
"Phantom Lantern Body Jutsu."
Although Su Xiao had no chakra, the ring was acknowledged by Reincarnation Paradise, so using mana value would allow him to perform this technique.
