The night deepened.
The rain fell even harder than before. Even for the Land of Rain, where rainy days were the norm, this was unusually heavy rain.
Looking up at the sky, Haku spoke in a voice only he could hear.
Do you also want to use my hand to change this country? But isn't that what Nagato is supposed to do under Madara Uchiha's guidance? If I interfere, history will change. I wonder whether Naruto will still be born in the future.
But why should I care about that? I need more Energy Points right now. The enemies Yu sensed will probably arrive sooner than expected. Those people who call themselves the Divine Race possess all kinds of abilities.
After glancing at the sky once more, Haku saw that it was nearly time for his appointment with Sugiki. Under cover of night, he headed for Rain Mountain Castle again.
Meanwhile, inside Rain Mountain Castle, at the lord's residence.
Sugimoto knelt on one knee before Mifune.
My lord, I dealt with the traitor. But is the Land of Rain still our Land of Rain? Is Amegakure still our Amegakure?
After hearing Sugimoto's words, a dangerous glint appeared in Mifune's eyes.
Do you know what you're saying?!
My lord! Lord Hanzo is no longer the Lord Hanzo we originally chose to follow. Ever since the Land of Rain lost to the other great nations, Lord Hanzo has lost his breadth of spirit.
The look in Mifune's eyes grew increasingly dangerous.
Stop talking, Sugimoto! Lord Hanzo is Lord Hanzo!
But Sugimoto seemed not to notice Mifune's grim expression as he continued.
*My lord, we need Lord Hanzo to realize that he is no longer the invincible Lord Hanzo of the Shinobi World. He can no longer force other shinobi villages to yield
