Land of Rain, Amegakure.
In a building, Hanzo of the Salamander looked out the window at the village.
Since cooperating with Trading Company, who Kakuzu represents, their Amegakure has also developed.
The originally dilapidated village has also been renovated with high-rise buildings and new houses, and there are more and more people on the streets. The faces of the people in the village, both Ninja and the common people, are full of hope.
This is what he hopes to see most, and it is his honor as the leader of Amegakure to be able to witness all this.
But he still felt like something was missing.
Thinking about it, Hanzo of the Salamander left the bed and returned to his office. He sat on a luxurious leather chair and was covered with a complete Tiger Hide blanket. The table was made of precious Sandalwood. There was a crystal chandelier above his head, and there were various rare ornaments on the display cabinet behind him.
It rains all year round in Amegakure, and the outside looks extremely humid, but the office is indeed very dry. Several Dehumidifierss are operating to keep the expensive objects in the office dry.
It doesn't mean anything, it just means money.
The money earned in just one year is more than all the money they have accumulated since Amegakure was founded.
"What am I missing?"
Hanzo of the Salamander picked up the crystal-carved cup and poured himself a cup of Red Wine. He took off his gas mask and took a sip when no one was around.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk~!"
There was a knock on the office door. Hanzo of the Salamander put down the crystal cup and put on the mask.
"Come in!"
A Ninja from Amegakure walked in.
"Sir Hanzō, Kakuzu would like to see you."
"Kakuzu? Oh, count the time, it's time to pay dividends again."
Hanzō probably guessed what Kakuzu was going to do and nodded.
"Let him come over."
"Understood."
Soon Kakuzu was brought into Hanzo of the Salamander's office.
"Oh my, Hanzō leader, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days. I see that your complexion is getting better and better."
Seeing Kakuzu and Hanzō also gave them a rare laugh.
"Haha, this is all thanks to Mr. Kakuzu. You and Trading Company behind you have brought huge benefits to us Amegakure and allowed us Amegakure to develop.
As the saying goes, it is easier to do things if you have money. After having enough funds, I, the leader, can do a lot more easily and my complexion will naturally improve."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Come and sit down, Mr. Kakuzu, you just want to have a drink with me."
Most people are not qualified to drink with Hanzo of the Salamander. After all, Hanzo of the Salamander has Poison Gland transplanted into his body, which makes him highly toxic every time he breathes in. He has to wear a special gas mask to communicate normally with other people.
But Kakuzu is fine. Kakuzu, who has transformed his body with the help of Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique, is not so afraid of poisons. Ordinary poisons have no effect on him. Even if they are specially made poisons, the worst thing is to change his heart.
This advantage also makes Kakuzu one of the few people who can drink and communicate with Hanzo of the Salamander.
"Okay, it just so happens that I'm also a little greedy for wine."
Kakuzu was not polite to Hanzo of the Salamander, so he sat down and took the wine glass from Hanzo of the Salamander.
The two of them didn't talk about money. After all, they had worked together for such a long time, so they still had the tacit understanding they should have.
The two chatted over the fine wine. Kakuzu told about what he had experienced when he was running business, and Hanzō talked about the things he encountered when he was the leader.
The two of them had a pretty happy chat.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Kakuzu took out a Sealing Scroll.
"Chief Hanzō, I am here to give you this month's dividend. The dividend money is all in this Scroll. You have passed it and counted the amount."
"No need, we have been cooperating for such a long time, and I have watched the changes you have brought to Amegakure. I don't need points or anything like that. I believe you."
"Yes, then thanks to the trust of leader Hanzō, I'll toast you."
Saying Kakuzu picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Okay! Come on, I'll fill it up for Mr. Kakuzu."
Hanzo of the Salamander also poured a full cup for Kakuzu with his own hands.
Kakuzu continued.
"Chief Hanzō, actually, one of our Trading Company wealthy businessmen admires you very much and thinks that you are a rare Shinobi World hero. With the power of a village, you can fight against several big Shinobi Villages. This kind of courage has never been seen before. He asked me to bring you a few gifts. I hope you will accept them."
"Oh! Any of you Trading Company appreciate me!?"
Hanzo of the Salamander is also a little surprised.
"He also asked you to bring me a gift."
"That's right, Hanzō leader, please take a look."
Kakuzu took out Sealing Scroll and opened it in front of Hanzo of the Salamander.
There are two more things on the table, one is Solid Gold Statue from Ibuse, and the other is the Rain Shadow Hat that has been prepared for a long time.
When I saw that Rain Shadow Hat, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't take my eyes away anymore.
"This is! This is, Rain Shadow Hat?"
"That's right, that wealthy businessman thinks that you, leader Hanzō, have the qualifications to be on equal footing with their so-called Five Kage by fighting several big Shinobi Villages, so he specially asked someone to customize such a Conical Hat. I hope you will like it."
"I like it. Of course I like it. I like it so much. This wealthy businessman of yours Trading Company really understands me. He is really a confidant I have never met."
Hanzo of the Salamander stretched out his hands and picked up Rain Shadow Hat with some excitement.
Kakuzu said with a smile.
"Then please ask Rain Shadow to bring Conical Hat to see if it's suitable."
Hearing Kakuzu call himself Rain Shadow, Hanzo of the Salamander felt particularly comfortable. He raised Rain Shadow Hat and put it on his head.
"It's suitable, it's really suitable, but there's still something missing."
"Is there anything left?"
Kakuzu was also stunned for a moment, no, what else does this guy want? Is he so greedy?
"Yes, there is still a little something left, but I have prepared it before."
Hanzo of the Salamander stood up and walked to a Rosewood carved cabinet. He opened the cabinet door. There was only one piece of clothing hanging in this huge cabinet.
Kakuzu could tell what kind of clothes it was, it was Rain Shadow Robe that matched Rain Shadow Hat.
The white robe has purple raindrop patterns on the lower part and edges, and there are several large characters written on the back, First Rain Shadow.
Good guy, it turns out that this old boy has prepared this for himself a long time ago.
Seeing this Rain Shadow Robe Kakuzu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was exactly what Boss Chiba guessed.
Hanzo of the Salamander put on Rain Shadow Robe, straightened Rain Shadow Hat, turned around and asked.
"How about it, Mr. Kakuzu, does this fit me well?"
Kakuzu clapped his hands and applauded.
"It's so suitable. As expected of Master Rain Shadow, you should wear this outfit and become the Rain Shadow of Amegakure, and the Sixth Shadow of Shinobi World."
"Hahaha, Mr. Kakuzu said it well. Later, thank that wealthy businessman for me for giving him the opportunity to visit our Amegakure. I will entertain him well."
