Three months later, in the Rain Country of the otherworld.
Nagato and Konan were discussing their plans to seek cooperation with Konoha.
"There will probably be a lot of resistance on this trip to Konoha. Although Yahiko and the others have already put in a good word for us, this involves financial transactions after all. We still need to prepare for the worst."
Konan spoke seriously to Nagato.
Nagato nodded as well. "I understand. I just hope things go smoothly this time, so that the Rain Country can get off to a good start."
By now, everything in the Rain Country was ready.
The farmers had all been assigned their respective breeding grounds. All that remained was to find a partner and establish a cooperative relationship, then they could purchase fish fry from Konoha for cultivation.
"I hope the Hokage can reach this agreement with us. The Rain Country truly needs an opportunity."
Konan smiled slightly. "We will, Nagato. We definitely will."
Amegakure had now been completely rebuilt, and all the villagers had moved back.
The newly reborn Amegakure was filled with laughter and joy. The village built by the workers from Torikaze's World was quite similar in style to Konoha, though it also incorporated elements unique to the Rain Country.
Yet the resulting village was not ugly in the slightest. On the contrary, it possessed a distinctive charm that the people of Amegakure greatly loved.
A new village, a new country—this gave the citizens of the Rain Country new hope.
They only had to look up to see bright, clear skies instead of endless torrential rain. That was what moved them most.
And once everyone learned that all of this had been brought about by Akatsuki, they began to worship Akatsuki immensely.
This left no dissenting voices anywhere in
