rain,
It kept falling.
The patter seemed to have no end.
Four ninjas wearing black hooded raincoats were walking up and down in the forest.
Suddenly, the leader Middle-aged Ninja seemed to have discovered something.
"Stop!"
As he finished speaking, several people landed on four big trees respectively, maintaining a dispersed formation and looking ahead vigilantly.
Standing in a big tree a hundred meters away were two ninjas, but they both looked like teenagers.
"Hanzō's subordinate?" Middle-aged Ninja named Daibutsu glanced at Forehead Protector, the two of them, with a solemn expression on his face.
Land of Rain is the sphere of influence of Hanzō. Although there is endless chaos here, as long as it is not a ninja of Five Great Nations, you still have to look at the face of this "Demigod".
It's just... since when did Hanzō start taking care of such trivial matters?
Daibutsu As mercenaries, their mission was to attack a village. Hanzō shouldn't be able to care about such a trivial matter, otherwise Land of Rain wouldn't be in such a mess.
"It is forbidden to pass here!" The young man with yellow hair said in a deep voice.
However, he was still in the stage of changing his voice. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, he still had the feeling of a drake's voice.
"Hanzō, do you want to interfere in our mission?" Out of caution, Daibutsu did not take action immediately.
"No, although we carry Forehead Protector from Hidden Rain Village, we are not the subordinates of Hanzō. If we must say..." The yellow-haired boy thought for a while and said in a firm tone, "We are the guardians of Land of Rain——"
He was about to say the name of that popular organization, but when the ninja on the other side heard that he was not Hanzō's subordinate, he started talking nonsense with Hand Seals, and immediately started to fight.
"Earth Style? Rock Pillar Spear!"
Middle-aged Ninja took the lead and rushed to the front. In an instant, Earth Style used it on the two people not far away.
"Rude, no patience at all!" Yahiko snorted coldly.
Even though his opening remarks were a little silly, he wasn't a rookie either.
Land of Rain No different than other places, this is the land of Fourth Shinobi World War. Since Second Great Ninja War, it has been in a state of turmoil.
He and his friends have been fighting since they were young, and their combat experience is no less than those of adult ninjas.
"Nagato!" Yahiko shouted, and his legs suddenly moved back hard, avoiding Rock Pillar Spear while using his hands Hand Seals.
"Water Release? Water Trumpet!"
There was basically no reaction. Middle-aged Ninja rushed over from the opposite side and was torn into pieces.
"Earth Clone?"
At this moment, an attack suddenly appeared from behind the two of them.
"Earth Style? Rock Stealing Rod!"
Middle-aged Ninja shot out a row of sharp rock sticks from his sleeves and flew over.
"Water Release? Water Formation Wall"
Nagato jumped out suddenly, and a wall of water blocked the attack.
The moment Daibutsu took action, the remaining three people rushed over. The four people immediately formed a circle, surrounding the two teenagers in the middle.
But Yahiko and Nagato didn't show any fear. They had seen this kind of scene too many times, and they couldn't arouse the slightest emotion.
Ten minutes later, Middle-aged Ninja Daibutsu was panting and hiding behind a big tree, his face full of disbelief.
At first he didn't pay much attention when he saw the two teenagers, but who would have thought that when they fought, he realized that the two of them were as strong as monsters.
Especially the quiet red-haired boy.
He stood aside silently, looking like a gangster, but in this moment, he actually played all five series Ninjutsu. What's even more frightening is that he didn't even mean to exhaust his chakra.
What kind of monster is this?
There is no doubt that Daibutsu is a little scared.
Carefully using the big tree as a cover, he took a quick glance and found that three teammates had been subdued. He decided to escape immediately.
As for my companions... I'm sorry, but my own life is more important.
In his long fighting career, he has long been accustomed to abandoning his teammates and escaping alone.
Even if the fighting power of both sides was similar, he didn't want to fight anyone, not to mention that the fighting power displayed by the two teenagers in front of him was obviously much higher than his.
"When I become powerful, I will come back to avenge you!"
However, just when Daibutsu was cautiously trying to leave secretly, Nagato discovered him.
"Over there."
At this time, Nagato's Rinnegan has not yet been developed to a very high level, but even if it is just some simple insight, this guy in front of him cannot hide it.
"Damn it."
Daibutsu quickly accelerated and ran away like crazy.
However, after only running for more than a hundred meters, a "bang" Kakkō suddenly exploded beside him, and the huge impact sent him flying backwards.
It's a Explosive Tag trap!
Daibutsu shook his head and climbed up from the ground in disgrace, but a handful of Kunai was already placed on his neck.
"I surrender." He immediately raised his hands in surrender.
He is just a mercenary and has no reason to fight for it.
Yahiko smiled, then took out a rope and tied the four people together.
Daibutsu felt relieved. If the other party wanted to kill people, they would not tie them up.
Yahiko clapped his hands, took a step back and said, "I can let you go, but there are conditions."
"What conditions?" a Chunin asked eagerly.
"You can leave, but you must promise not to attack this village again."
"That's all?"
This requirement is too simple!
That Chunin was a little confused. He thought he was going to sell them to Land of Earth to mine coal.
"Simple?" Yahiko raised his eyebrows. It sounds simple, but how many people can do it?
Many ninjas thought that they would not kill people, but would turn around and come back again with missions.
They have encountered many such people who break their promises.
Therefore, Yahiko coughed and reminded:
"Don't take chances. If I find out that you don't keep your promise, you won't be so lucky next time. I will sell you to Land of Wind to dig sand!"
Chunin shuddered.
Daibutsu said seriously, "I can promise not to attack again, but the employers will not give up. There will definitely be other ninjas coming."
Yahiko smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but until the employer gives up the idea of attacking and is willing to negotiate, whether it is dozens of attacks or hundreds of attacks, we will stay with you until the end!"
Daibutsu raised his eyebrows. I thought these two teenagers were geniuses before, but now they feel they are too naive!
"As a reward for letting us go, I would like to remind you that such passive defense is useless. Finding the employer directly and killing him is the fastest solution!"
Yahiko shrugged.
"Maybe, but that will only add more hatred. I firmly believe that people can understand each other and resolve all disputes peacefully.
This is why I won't kill you. "
"Are you... a fool?"
In the world of ninjas, you are too naive to talk about peace, right?
The Chunin poked Daibutsu with his movable index finger, fearing that he would anger the two teenagers.
He is still young and would rather go to Land of Water to cut sugar cane than dig sand in Land of Wind.
But the yellow-haired boy was not angry, but showed a hearty smile, exuding the dazzling brilliance of the Virgin.
"We Akatsuki! We are fighting to change this concept. We will use power, but we will not use it excessively, nor will we kill people at will.
Knowing the pain, everyone can understand each other by opening their hearts and communicating. Only in this way can hatred in the world be reduced and true peace be achieved.
In fact, you also look forward to peace, right? "
Chunin was stunned. He also felt that the head of the ninja in front of him was going crazy.
Are humans... creatures that can understand each other?
Aware of the other party's eyes, Yahiko coughed and pulled up a few grasses from the ground.
"I know you think I'm an idiot. A piece of grass is very fragile, but if there are three of them together, it will be very..."
The grass broke in response.
"..."
This time, not only that Chunin, but also the other three people moved their buttocks back, fearing that Yahiko would get angry and kill several of them.
Yahiko sighed.
"Forget it, if three doesn't work, just gather them into a bundle. In short, as long as we have dreams in our hearts, continue to gather like-minded companions, open our hearts, and infect more ninjas to join, we can realize our wish for peace!"
After half an hour of brainwashing, as agreed, Nagato took out Kunai and cut the rope.
Before leaving, Daibutsu felt a little dizzy. He took a deep look at Yahiko, then turned and left.
On the way back, Yahiko was a little unhappy with a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Nagato, is my speech (Talk no Jutsu) bad?"
"No, I think what you said is very good." Nagato said honestly, "Every night before I go to bed, your voice echoes in my head."
Yahiko: "..."
Akatsuki Organization's base is in a remote town.
From a distance, the outer wall of the building looks like it is made up of pipes, with a metallic texture and a rust color.
Although this style is not very aesthetically pleasing, it is in line with the atmosphere of Land of Rain... Because it rains all day here, such chopsticks are easier to drain.
After entering the base, a group of ninjas immediately surrounded them.
"Boss, how about completing the mission?" A fat man came over licking his face.
Almost all the ninjas in Akatsuki Organization are older than the three in Yahiko.
But Yahiko is the leader, and most of the members joined Akatsuki because of his unique personal charm.
Moreover, these ninjas are either Rogue Ninja or from Yehu Zen. Without System's training, his strength is incomparable to Yahiko and others.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what the boss shouted.
"If the boss takes action, then there will definitely be no problem." Ten no Kyusuke came over and boasted.
There were strange patterns painted on his face. For those who didn't know, they thought they were Sage Mode.
"Boss, there are a lot of commissions recently, some of them are trivial. Do we have to complete them all?" "A bald man complained loudly while holding the task list in his hand.
"Everyone should do it. Everyone should help those who are in need. This is our mission at Akatsuki Organization."
"Oh, I really wish it could be as big as Hanzō, so it wouldn't be so busy." Ten no Kyusuke said with envy.
He is from Hidden Rain Village. He used to be Hanzō's subordinate, and later became Rogue Ninja.
Yahiko smiled and said, "We will definitely become an organization that will not lose to Hanzō one day."
After chatting with their subordinates about trivial matters, Yahiko and Nagato walked to the second floor.
Leaning on the railing, Yahiko whispered, "Unknowingly, Akatsuki Organization has grown stronger."
Nagato nodded. "Everyone resonates with your dream Yahiko."
"Well, if everyone unites, we will be able to achieve the peace that Teacher Jiraiya said." Yahiko encouraged himself.
"By the way, where did Konan go?"
Konan was injured in the last mission, so he didn't go out with the two of them this time to recuperate in the base, but he didn't see her when he came back.
"She just went out, so you don't have to worry."
The sound came from a distance, and a young ninja slowly approached, with an extremely warm smile on his face.
Hearing what Ida said, Yahiko nodded. He already knew where Konan had gone.
This ninja named Ida suddenly came to the door one day and said that he wanted to join Akatsuki.
This person is very capable and knows a lot about management. He manages the organization in an orderly manner, which Yahiko relies on very much.
When he is away, it is usually left to Ida to manage the organization.
But Nagato frowned. He didn't like this person very much. He always felt that his smile was... a bit fake.
He has a delicate mind and is very keen in this regard, so he has always been wary of Ida.
After all, Akatsuki Organization came out of nowhere. Although it is still very weak now, it will always attract the attention of some people.
Land of Rain forces are crisscrossed, and Nagato does not want the organization created by Yahiko to realize his dream to be used by others.
No one can hurt Yahiko!
"What's the matter, Ida?" Yahiko asked without paying attention to Nagato's abnormality.
"There are two things I need to report to the leader." Ida said softly.
"First, a ninja contacted us today. He said he was interested in our concept of peace and wanted to sponsor us."
"Oh, what kind of ninja is he?" Yahiko was a little happy.
In many cases, tasks within the organization are free of charge. Funds and materials are indeed very scarce. It is also for this reason that the organization has been unable to grow.
Everyone needs to be happy, and love alone... can't generate electricity.
A signature smile appeared on Ida's face, "I don't know either, but the other party said that he will come again in five days and hopes to meet you."
"Yeah." Yahiko nodded, "What about the second thing?"
"While collecting intelligence today, I got a piece of news."
"What news?"
"Hanzō has begun to gather troops and seems to be declaring war on Konoha."
"What?"
Yahiko's face changed.
