On the other side, Danzo saw Orochimaru leaving simply, and the gloom on his face almost dripped with water.
"They are all a bunch of guys who don't have Will of Fire!"
Danzo took a long breath and forced himself to calm down, with a fierce look in his single eye.
"Sarutobi!"
"And Jiraiya you guys."
"Watch it!"
"I will definitely prove that I am right!"
Land of Rain,
In a cave near Amegakure,
Although it was raining lightly outside and it was very cold and humid,
But it's different inside the cave. There's a light for every ten steps, and moisture-absorbing hay is spread under the feet.
Obviously there are traces of people living there regularly.
After walking dozens of steps, the lights suddenly came on, and there were about a dozen people in black robes standing in the middle.
Among them are young people and middle-aged people, ordinary people and ninjas.
Surrounded in the middle is a heroic young man with short orange hair.
"Chief!"
"We really don't have enough food now!"
"Now that the outside world is fighting a war, Land of Rain's commercial transactions cannot operate at all."
"And both merchants and village households are collecting grain."
"There is no way to buy food!"
A middle-aged member in black robe had a worried face.
"Our Akatsuki members don't even have enough food to eat!"
Yahiko also has a face full of sorrow,
No matter how full your ideals are, you have to face reality.
Ninja World The ideal of peace is too far away, and now the reality of rescuing war orphans and refugees cannot be faced, and even they themselves have to run out of water and food.
Another member chimed in and said,
"Yes, Chief!"
"We don't even have enough food to eat now!"
"We also need to help those refugees and orphans."
"It's really hard to make ends meet!"
Then the member paused and then persuaded,
"But chief, I heard that Master Hanzo has extended an olive branch to our Akatsuki."
"As long as we come under his command,"
"It will give us enough food and operating funds!"
"We will all have food and clothing to worry about by then!"
A female voice suddenly sounded, with anger,
"Shut up! Ishito!"
"Hanzo has always wanted to annex our Akatsuki!"
"They do little things to us over and over again!"
"It's just that we all turned a blind eye!"
"Maybe he is behind this food crisis Push Hands!"
"How can it be"
"Okay Konan!"
Yahiko spoke, interrupting Konan,
"No matter what, Master Hanzo is Land of Rain's hero."
"If it weren't for Master Hanzo, Land of Rain would be subject to more wars now."
The original Hanzo was called Demigod of the Ninja World. Naturally, he was so arrogant that he single-handedly declared war on the three major powers and made the world recognize his strength and status.
In this way, Land of Rain is now feared by others, and no country will easily use Land of Rain as a battlefield.
But Yahiko also knows that Hanzo is now old and frail, his spirit is no longer strong, and he no longer has the original heroic spirit in doing things for others.
He even just wants to survive with Amegakure, for fear that his former enemies will come to him and cause trouble.
Yahiko will not agree to be a chess piece under Hanzo, which would violate Xiao's original intention of committing to Ninja World's peace.
"I heard that the war between Land of Wind and Land of Fire is over"
Yahiko slowly spoke out his decision,
"Konan, you have the strongest mobility. Take the members who know ninjutsu to Land of Fire to try to exchange supplies."
"Use the Explosive Tag you made."
"As for Master Hanzo."
"I will talk to him alone with Nagato."
"Even though I can't work under him."
"But anyway we all grew up in Land of Rain"
Although it is clear that the current Hanzo probably has no ambition and is still on guard against Akatsuki,
But Yahiko believes that they are all citizens of Land of Rain, and what he does is to help the citizens of Land of Rain live better.
Hanzo should not be unreasonable to this extent.
"But Yahiko."
Konan is a little anxious, because she thinks that Hanzo has always been unkind to them. Even if they negotiate, Yahiko cannot go there alone, at least they have to bring the members of Akatsuki with them.
Yahiko waved his hand, interrupting Xiaoyu's next exhortation.
"We must believe in the power of communication!"
"Isn't this exactly our original intention?!"
Konan was stunned when he heard this, because this was indeed their original intention of establishing Xiao, to exchange for peace through non-violence.
"Okay."
Yahiko patted Konan on the shoulder,
"Just pack up and leave immediately."
"We really don't have much food, and we need to hurry up."
After saying that, he and other members took Nagato to discuss the details of the negotiation with Hanzo, leaving only Konan standing there with a worried expression.
Time waits for no one, Yahiko naturally knows the importance of food. Without food, the entire Akatsuki material structure will collapse, let alone Ninja World peace.
That night, Yahiko took Nagato and several members of Akatsuki to meet with Hanzo.
Fortunately, Yahiko is not completely wary of Hanzo.
He did not take Amegakure to meet Hanzo rashly, but asked someone to send a message, and made an appointment with Hanzo in a wilderness somewhere outside Amegakure.
Amegakure The wilderness outside,
The light rain is still pattering. In this country, rain is as deeply rooted in people's hearts as the air. It's up to you whether you can adapt to it or not. It has become a part of your life.
Yahiko, along with the taciturn Nagato, and several Akatsuki members with some level of ninjutsu, were waiting here early.
They did not wear tools to block the rain and let the rain beat on their bodies because they were not needed in this country.
"Coming!"
Yahiko opened his eyes and looked at the figure speeding in the distance, feeling a little excited and nervous in his heart.
This was the first time he saw Hanzo of Amegakure, the man known as Demigod.
Even his teacher Jiraiya was a bit shorter than this man at his peak.
Even the title Jiraiya Sannin was given by Hanzo, which shows the content of this man's title Demigod.
Most of the other members of Akatsuki had similar reactions,
Only Nagato, who was born in the Uzumaki Clan, has a sharper perception. He frowned, and Rinnegan under his long hair slowly turned, as if he sensed a different meaning from the negotiation.
Although Hanzo has long passed his prime, his basic skills of endurance are still there, and he led a group of Amegakure Ninja to the meeting place in just a moment.
At this time, the distance was shortened, and through the pattering rain, Yahiko could see Hanzo's face clearly.
Wearing a Amegakure Ninja vest with a cape and a gas mask that he never takes off on his head, he is not tall but has a strong temperament, and his exposed eyes reveal a confident and suspicious look.
His whole person exudes the temperament of a leader and conspirator, making him intimidating at first glance.
Hanzo of the Salamander also looked at the young Yahiko in front of him, a little surprised.
The person who established the famous Akatsuki in the Land of Rain area was actually this young man who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"It's a surprise"
"Akatsuki's leaders are actually hairless boys."
Hanzo of the Salamander A deep male voice came out from behind the mask. Because of the mask, the voice did not sound clear, but it carried a certain kind of firm majesty.
Yahiko recovered from Hanzo's style. Faced with Hanzo's contempt, he seemed calm.
" Master Hanzo was also very young when he became famous."
"Youth doesn't mean anything..."
"Especially for the profession of ninja."
"Isn't it?"
Hanzo indeed nodded appreciatively upon hearing this.
Although Hanzo is suspicious and good at conspiracy, it does not mean that he does not appreciate talented young people.
On the contrary, he has always admired talented young people. This was true when he met Mifune, and the same was true when he met Sannin.
"You are a talent, Yahiko."
"He also has extraordinary abilities."
Hanzo There is no expression on the face covered by the mask, but there is a look of consideration in his eyes.
"You have such a talent, why don't you join Amegakure?!"
"You seem to be a child of Land of Rain too!?"
Yahiko nodded,
"Yes, I was born in Land of Rain,"
"It is precisely because I was born Land of Rain that I can understand the sorrow of Land of Rain!"
"Amegakure is different now than before."
"The current Amegakure is just a purely violent organization!"
Yahiko Thinking of the hardships he has experienced since he was a child, Amegakure's ninjas did not play a decent role in it. Instead, they were just helpers.
"Amegakure has no regard for the civilians and peace of Land of Rain!"
"On the contrary, it is gradually destroying this country!"
Hanzo's tone did not change even slightly when he heard the words, and the expression behind the mask showed no emotion or anger.
"So."
"Are you accusing me, Yahiko."
"I, the leader of Amegakure, am not doing a good enough job!?"
Yahiko shook his head,
"I didn't mean that, Master Hanzo"
"The citizens of Land of Rain all know the efforts and results you have made for Land of Rain."
"You're just going in the wrong direction."
"War and violence cannot solve Land of Rain's problems! Let alone the needs of the Land of Rain people!"
"What we need is peace and communication!"
"It is peace achieved through mutual understanding!"
Hanzo listened to these words quietly, his eyes gradually became a little complicated,
"Yes, that's what it is."
"I thought I was a careerist or a doer"
"It turns out they are a bunch of brats with naive ideas."
Although what Yahiko said was very ridiculous, for some reason, Hanzo couldn't laugh.
Because once upon a time, he also had some naive thoughts and wanted to find a place for Land of Rain in Ninja World.
But obviously he failed. Land of Rain is too small and its geographical location is too special.
No big country will allow Land of Rain to be truly powerful and independent, which would be very dangerous for them.
For this reason, they don't mind joining forces to deal with Hanzo. The so-called Demigod, under the power of a big country, is just someone with God Script.
Or maybe only the real God of Shinobi can do such a thing,
Hanzo thinks of the Konoha ninja who became famous in this ninja battle,
'Is it Konoha again?'
'First Sannin. Then the new god'
'When will a small country like ours come to its fore?'
