The drizzle drifted in the wind, and the rain, which had lasted for more than half a month, finally showed signs of an end.

It's just that at the southern end of the river country, many places have become a river country.

The saturated earth could not absorb the sudden abundance of rain, the rivers swelled past the levees, the fields were submerged, and the vegetation was uprooted by the torrent.

In addition to the stoic trees that survived the trees and their foliage becoming more and more washed and verdant, the heavy rain was a complete disaster.

First the sand ninja advanced, then Konoha followed as a response, and then the mist ninja of the water country showed his ambition across the sea, and the country of the river has been ravaged in recent years, and he can't imagine that he will now suffer from the power of heaven and earth.

The people of the country of rivers have a heart that has been destroyed and ruined, and they are almost crushed in the end.

However, there is no mercy in war, and it does not take into account the sorrow of small countries and widows.

If you are weak, you will be beaten, and if you are backward, you will be bullied.

After the miserable and miserable, at most it is just a sigh of the strong man acting on the spot.

A torrential rainstorm that raged for more than half a month pushed the suffering people of the River Country to the brink of despair, and suppressed the battle line of the Sand Shinobu in the River Country before the collapsing cordon.

With the help of this heavy rain, the misty shinobi swept away the land of the river country that the sand ninja had worked hard to seize for several years, and even if the heroes of Hakura returned, they could only guard the border of the country of the wind, and several river country cities that had accepted the rule of the sand ninja were struggling to resist and were in danger.

The rainstorm that was so abundant that it brewed into a disaster helped the fog shinobi too much, and the suppression of the sand shinobi was too great.

Between the increase and decrease of the rainstorm bonus, the fog ninja is like a fish in water, but the sand ninja is bound as if his limbs are trapped.

Even Ye Cang's scorching escape, in the midst of the wind and rain, did not have the power of a thousand armies.

has struggled to support until now, and finally survived the suppression of the torrential rain, but Sand Shinobi no longer has the heart to continue fighting.

Although the torrential rain has receded, the flood of mud still gives the mist shinobi a huge boost, but it only turns the suppression of the sand shinobi's limbs into a shackle to the feet.

In addition to risking his life with all his life, the war in the country of rivers is no longer able to fight for the sand ninja.

Standing at the head of the city, feeling the rain gradually fading in the wind, Ye Cang looked at the mud flow of Heze outside the city from afar, and his face sank like water.

The mist ninja, who was supposed to take advantage of the situation, seemed to have received some order, and recently suddenly stopped the attack, allowing the sand shinobi to breathe a little and continue to maintain the last front that was already on the verge of collapse.

Exhausted and frustrated, the busy Sand Shinobi, who had been numbed by the blow, didn't have the heart to care why the Kirist Shinobi suddenly gave up a great opportunity, but mechanically strengthened the defense line that even they themselves had no confidence in.

The morale of the sand ninja has been eroded like the land of the river country in front of him.

At this moment, only Ye Cang understood why the mist ninja gave up the opportunity to level the sand ninja in one fell swoop when the situation was good.

The latest order in the village has already been delivered to her.

Sand Shinobi is going to make peace with the Fog Ninja, no, to be more precise, it should be that the Sand Ninja is going to surrender to the Fog Ninja.

The battle line of the country of rivers is no longer sustainable, and the village is wholeheartedly determined to fight to the death with Konoha in Kikyo Mountain Castle, and for the aggressive and pressing Mist Shinobi, the village is ready to surrender completely without sending a single point of assistance.

A feeling of betrayal filled my heart.

After several years of struggle alone in the country of rivers, he single-handedly supported the entire front, but in the end, all the efforts and toils became a thing of the past, and he was thrown out as a bargaining chip for surrender.

Although he had expected that there might be such a day, when the truth really came to him, Ye Cang still couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

He earned the title of hero because of his activity on the battlefield of River Country, but now it seems that it became a joke after the village finally decided to give the order to surrender to the Kiri Shinobi.

What kind of hero is a hero who has lost his victory?

Is this for me to die to preserve my own glory and be a tragic hero who lives and dies in symbiosis with the Land of Rivers?

Abandoning the land of the River Country, what other chips can you throw against the aggressive Fog Shinobi?

The cool breeze gradually blew and became colder, like a silk drizzle intermittently and finally disappeared, standing at the head of the city and looking into the distance, Ye Cang's eyes were not focused, and he thought of a lot of churning thoughts, and finally only a cold body remained.

She thought of the first time she saw Inuzuka Fang dressed as Maki.

"If it's then, you'll have more snacks."

The words that were mocking at the beginning echoed in the ears like morning bells and dusk drums.

The topic of betrayal seems to have never been thought about, but at this moment, recalling Inuzuka's words, Hakura was silent.

Kiri Shinobu named her as an emissary to negotiate, and the order issued by the village made it clear that this was a secret mission that was not to be known to the second person.

Everything seems to have been told by the guy who still hasn't been able to confirm his exact identity, but has only remembered his voice.

"Isn't Lord Hakura still leaving?"

The sudden appearance of the darkness was as cold as the usual indifference, and the urging in a questioning tone was as cold and hard as the mask on his face.

"It's not your turn to command my actions."

I don't know how much the dark department who came to convey the order knows, but it's no longer the original Ye Cang, who is dedicated to fighting diligently and doesn't know how to doubt and guard at all, and he doesn't have a good face for this dark department who wears a tanuki mask and refuses to leave after delivering the order.

"Lord Hakura......"

The dark part of the tanuki mask wanted to say something more in his hard, dead-like voice.

"Whew~"

A gust of wind rose, Ye Cang didn't have the slightest intention of communicating with him again, jumped out of the city wall, and after a few breaths of acceleration, he disappeared into a torrent of mire.

The darkness was silent, and he watched Ye Cang's figure disappear from his gaze, and silently followed.

Until the figures of the two men disappeared into a stubborn jungle rooted in the swamp, and at the foot of the waterlogged city wall, after a few bubbles, a toad with a tadpole tail appeared, its bulging eyes turned around and peeked around, and then sank into the water again.

"Jiraiya-sama, the sand shinobi you let watch has already acted!"

Far away in Konoha's camp, Jiraiya was lying on the high desk strewn with documents and drooling, when a small green-skinned toad jumped in and screamed in a loud voice that was completely disproportionate to his body.

"Ah~"

With a big yawn, the scattered documents were a little messier, and Jiraiya opened his eyes with a drunken flush on his face, stretching his waist.

"It's you Shikamaru. Okay, I see, you go and help me inform the water stop and the little ghost of Inuzuka Fang, I'll prepare. ”

"Okay, Jiraiya-sama."

The loud-voiced Lion Pill got the order, and jumped and walked away happily, very conscious of free labor.

"Is this the start of action? It seems that Sand Shinobi is a little impatient, but Jiraiya has rested long enough, and it's time to get active. I don't know if the kid from the Wind Shadow will come this time, I hope his injuries have healed, otherwise it won't be fun to fight. ”

Carrying the forbearance bag, carrying the psychic scroll on his back, he swept away his drunkenness and opened the curtain.

Outside the tent, the world after the rainstorm is clear, and the sky is sprinkled with sunlight, although the ground is still waterlogged, but it is a vigorous atmosphere of renewal.

"It's sunny, it's a nice day. There will be a good omen this time, too. ”

Raised his hand to build a pergola, looking at the cloudless blue sky, and he was in a good mood.

"Jiraiya-sama! I brought them over. ”

In the distance, there was a loud voice from Shikamaru.

Inuzuka Fang led the white pill, and Shizuki had the lion pill on his shoulder, and he was striding forward.

"Everyone, then, let's go!"

Zilai also waved his hand, and he was in high spirits.

After the rainstorm, the sun is just right, and they are about to face an event that is likely to change the current battle situation in the ninja world.
