The Land of Rain in the Hokage World is an interesting place, and when the surrounding five great powers were still semi-agrarian civilizations, a town full of steam gothic style like a steel jungle has been established.

Moreover, this town is not a place where Sanshoyu Hanzo, the leader of the Land of Rain, is entrenched. Rather, it is the headquarters of the Xiao Organization, which has only been established for a few years and is beginning to take shape.

As for the reason, it is necessary to talk about the very unscientific technology tree in this world and the three views of most people that are different from ours.

In this world, because of the existence of chakra, many things that cannot be achieved by human power in our cognition and can only be achieved with the help of mechanical power can be completed by hiring ninjas using various escape techniques.

As a result, with the demise of heavy industry, the significance of steel in this world has been seriously underestimated.

With the exception of a few tools for civilians, the greatest use of this resource is to create cold weapons for ninjas and samurai.

Only a part of the samurai survived as outcasts of the era in which chakra was popularized, and they gathered under the command of the Iron Country Commander known as Mifune.

And the land of iron has also become the largest producer of weapons and forbearance because of the iron ore resources enriched underground.

Ironically, the self-proclaimed neutral Iron Country is truly neutral because it has a steady stream of high-quality shurikens, kunai, and ninja swords to the five major ninja villages.

What's even more ironic is that every time the ninja war starts every ten years, the daimyo of the Iron Country and a large number of blacksmiths will secretly pray that this war will last longer and be larger.

This is the same reason as the so-called "when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", and the war forced the five great powers to exchange their huge wealth for murderous weapons produced in the Iron Country.

However, at this time, when the daimyo and blacksmiths of the Iron Nation ended their celebration and began to count the wealth gained in this war.

The true leader of the country, Admiral Mifune, was standing in his own yard with a wry smile.

Are the five ninja villages really desperately fighting each other with red eyes?

No, they carefully control the scale of the war in tacit understanding.

They spy on the leader of their own samurai nation.

Once you have any undesirable ambitions because of false prosperity and prosperity......

Then, the ninjas who are still catching and fighting each other will unite in an instant and step on the last pure land of the samurai in this world!

Hanzo, old friend, is this the peace you want in your heart?

Let's end the topic that has gone off the rails and move our perspective back to the town where the Rain Country Dawn organization is located.

With the national power of the Land of Rain, will such a cold and sturdy steel jungle really be forged?

Of course not.

But the war-hardened refugees have discovered:

Steel-forged buildings are better protected from the ravages of ninja battles than once warm but fragile houses......

In contrast to the once cohesive village of communion, a small, inconspicuous room in an indifferent edifice insulates itself from the deceit and plunder of strangers......

Compared with harvesting insignificant food in the barren land, rushing around in the troubled times to earn meager profits; Picking up the discarded weapons that can be found everywhere in the land will make you even more satisfied.

……

The rainy and lewd ghosts walk in the daytime, and the south wind blows mercy for the rest of life.

"This town made of steel is a kunai that the surrounding powers have pierced deep into the chest of the rain country!"

Yahiko stood on a high platform in the building where the Akatsuki Organization headquarters was located, looking at a pedestrian on the street beneath his feet.

It was a hobbling old man with a large basket behind his back.

A little girl of a few years old sat in a basket with two pieces of shuriken in her hand, trying to put them together.

The old man walked slowly towards the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization, and came to the gate.

Two members in black robes looked at the old man and greeted him with a smile:

"Uncle Fujian, it's been a long time."

"Yes, uncle, you haven't come out to pick up scrap metal for a few months!"

The old man showed a hint of flushing on his face, and covered his mouth with his hand:

"Ahem......

Hey, this damn weather, my back injury is ...... again"

The little girl behind him suddenly pouted angrily and debunked:

"Lie!

Grandpa has been playing mahjong with his neighbors recently!

Lost all living expenses! ”

"Haha! That's right, Uncle Fujian. ”

"We don't need to be debunked by Kissie, we know it.

How can anyone cough with a back injury......"

The old man smiled very awkwardly, and scolded his granddaughter for eating inside and out.

I wanted to trick some sympathy and sell scrap iron for a high price, you little bastard!

I won't buy you candy when I go back!

At this moment, a woman walked out of the building of the Akatsuki organization.

She was dressed in a robe with red clouds on a black background, her light purple and blue hair combed into a dignified style, and a delicate paper flower on the headband.

With a smile on her beautiful face, she looked at the little girl behind the old man.

"Lord Konan!"

"You've worked hard."

Xiao Nan walked to the old man's side, pinched the little girl's face, then took the shuriken fragment in her hand, and said softly:

"Little girl, don't play with this kind of sharp weapon, it's easy to hurt yourself."

As she spoke, she stretched out her other hand, and a delicate and beautiful paper flower magically bloomed on her palm.

The little girl happily held the paper flowers handed over by Xiao Nan in both hands, blocked the rain with her body, and played with it in her arms.

"Lord Konan!

If it's not you......

I don't know how I'm going to live with this kid......"

The old man wiped his tears excitedly and sighed.

Xiao Nan looked at the raindrops falling on his palm, and said with a smile:

"There's always hope, right?

One day, we will make this country stop crying and let the sun shine on this land.

This is the meaning of our organization's name......"

As she spoke, she raised her head and met Yahiko's eyes on the high platform.

Yahiko on the high platform was handsome for only three seconds, and Xiao Nan, who had been quietly peeping, suddenly raised his head to look at him, making him hurriedly take a few steps back.

A hand calmly caught his shoulder, Yahiko turned his head, and Nagato's long red hair came into view.

"I said you, be a little calmer.

As the leader, you have such a frizzy personality......

It's hard for us! ”

Yahiko touched his orange hair and laughed to hide his embarrassment:

"Haha!

Isn't the so-called companion that I don't have to hide my true side in front of you? ”

He looked at the group of companions gathered behind Nagato, who had different identities, but all gathered around him because of their common ideals and beliefs!

"Right, guys?!"

"Indeed, Chief."

"But, how long are you going to make Lord Xiaonan wait!"

"Yes! If you're not in a hurry, we'll be anxious for you! ”

"Haha! My face is red again! ”

"Don't laugh!

You guys!

What about the majesty?! ”

Everyone laughed and scattered, leaving Nagato standing still comforting Yahiko, whose face turned red.

"Look, I'll just say it, a little majestic......"

"But think about Mr. Jiraiya, isn't his terrible personality the same as the Megatron Ninja World now?"

"I think that's mainly due to the other two people who are on the same level as him......

But ah, seriously. ”

Nagato suddenly smiled evilly and slapped Yahiko with his elbow, and continued:

"When will you officially confess to Xiao Nan?"

Yahiko sighed and said:

"You didn't see it that time.

She didn't say it, before the organization had developed.

Don't want to be in a relationship? ”

"Hey! Are you really an idiot?

That was obviously her perfunctory remark when she politely refused to confess to Dosuke!

It's like: I'm sorry, you're a good guy or something. ”

Yahiko looked at Nagato with some hesitation, why did this single Wang like him suddenly become a love mentor today?

I saw Nagato confidently take out a book from his sleeve, point to the title of the book "White Album" and say:

"This is a new book by Mr. Jiraiya, which I bought from the Land of Fire.

It's a pure love-oriented love. ”

Yahiko took the book and flipped through the preface:

"This story is not fictional, it is a semi-autobiographical ...... based on my own personal experience"

Then quietly flipped a few pages and continued to watch.

"Although he wrote it like this, from what I know about him......"

"Even if the actor's name is his own name, but this is absolutely impossible!

The personal experience of Mr. Jiraiya! ”

The two said in unison.

Yahiko carefully tucked the book into his sleeve, and said:

"Tomorrow we will complete the creation of the armistice alliance between Iwa Shinobi and Konoha Ninja!

I read the book behind closed doors and ......"

As he spoke, he had already revealed a longing portrait of an idiot.

"Hey, hey! Wake up!

Don't fall in love in your dreams like Jiraiya-sensei! ”

Nagato waved his fingers desperately in front of his eyes, finally interrupting Yahiko's fantasy......

Yahiko suddenly turned around energetically and stretched out his arms as if to embrace the land.

"Nagato, we are one step closer to our ideal!

Yesterday, Hanzo-sama sent a secret letter to inform me.

He promised that after the conclusion of the armistice pact, more men would be sent to join our organization.

Moreover, he will give us some financial support, which is what we are most in need at the moment! ”

Yahiko lowered his head guiltily and said slowly:

"Watching my companions spend their days busy with these dangerous but unpaid tasks......"

Nagato comforted:

"There is no way to do it, the civilians of this country are too poor to pay for the task of exterminating the traitors and bandits."

Yahiko took the words softly with a sad face:

"So......

Even if it's contrary to the original purpose of our organization.

Xiao Nan in order to maintain everyone's most basic living needs.

She can only buy discarded weapons and ninja tools picked up by civilians, and hire blacksmiths to re-smelt them into new killing weapons......

And then sell it to these big countries to maintain the basic operation of our organization! ”

He picked up a kunai, and clenched it with green tendons on the back of his hand, blood dripping to the ground through his fingers.

"How many times has she cried alone in her room in the middle of the night......

I know, it's because of her inner insecurity and guilt!

How many civilians and children will be killed by these murderous weapons, flowing out of our hands......"

Nagato walked over to Yahiko's side, and he looked up at the hazy sky with his reincarnated eyes that were different from ordinary people.

"But that's all going to pass, right?

As you just said, we are moving towards our ideals!

One day, the nation will stop this incessant weeping.

People can work according to their interests and talents, or in the fields, without fear of disaster coming at any time.

Or sell in the bazaar without worrying about the profits you earn being taken away by robbers.

In the hands of the children, they will no longer hold broken shurikens and kunai, but toys and books......

When people raise their heads, their faces will be happy and contented, and not apathy, numbness, insecurity and pain!

It will be a face that has not been bullied!

Sand Hidden Village, Rock Hidden Village, and ...... Konoha Village!

No one can use this country as a colosseum for wrestling, and no more! ”

Nagato's reincarnation eyes showed a glimmer of danger, and the sky seemed to sense the wrath of the vision, and a flash of lightning crossed the dark clouds......

At the same time, the sky of Konoha Village is cloudless, and the good vegetation environment brings warm and humid air to the village.

A breeze blew through the window into the Hokage's office, and Mizuto's blonde hair swayed in the wind.

He sat quietly at his desk, holding in his hand the scroll that had been sent by the Toad Yin of Myoki Mountain not long ago.

He looked intently at the secret letter that the teacher had written to him in the scroll, over and over again......

He sat motionless from the afternoon to the end of the afternoon like a sculpture.

The sunlight outside the window changed its angle little by little, and when the last rays of light fell into the ground with the setting sun, Watergate stood up.

He quietly walked out of the office and out of the Hokage Building, smiling and responding to the civilians and ninjas who greeted him along the way, and finally walked to the door of the Sarutobi Mansion.

The doorbell rings.

"Stinky boy, don't go open the door yet."

"You're annoying, old man!"

The door opened, and the cynical ape Fei Asma looked at the water gate outside the door, and finally honestly bowed his head and greeted:

"Lord Shidaime!"

Then he staggered out with the water gate and slipped out of the house.

Mizumon entered the courtyard of the Sarutobi Mansion and saw a Japanese slash dressed in civilian clothes.

Hizaki didn't seem surprised by his visit, but just nodded.

"Let's go to the living room."

In the living room, after serving two cups of tea, Sarutobi served two cups of tea, chatted casually with Mizuto and then took his leave, leaving the space to the two Hokage.

Hizashi and Mizuto knelt at the ends of the coffee table, hot tea in his hand, his palms shaking slightly, the warm steam making his face blurred.

Shuimen pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands to the ground, lowered his head and said sincerely:

"Master.

I visited today for the day I was in the office......

I apologize to you, I shouldn't have been so arrogant and rude! ”

Ri took a sip of tea and said:

"Raise your head!"

Mizuto looked up in some surprise, and was greeted by a smile of encouragement.

"I'm only relieved, so how can I blame you?

Child, you must know that as the Hokage......"

Richo shook his eyebrows, and the stern gaze of the three generations appeared in his eyes again:

"Your authority is not to be challenged in Konoha!

What is Konoha?

It's our home, but it's also an alliance of ninjas armed to the teeth!

What is Ninja?

It is a murderous weapon that is ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than ordinary people!

As the Hokage, you need to have enough authority to intimidate all the ninjas in the Konoha Hidden Village.

At the same time, you must also have enough affinity to make them identify with you and be willing to be driven by you.

You have to restrain these more than 10,000 people, make them an army, and always be ready to fight to the death for the sake of Konoha and the interests of the Fire Country!

Have you ever seen an army in history that listened to two voices?

Don't forget, even the Pillar Teacher back then didn't tolerate Madara's provocation in the end! ”

Hizai drank the tea from the cup and placed it on the table.

He pointed to the teacup and said:

"Being a Hokage is like making a good cup of tea.

Tolerance and strictness are like tea powder and boiling water in this cup.

Not only do you have to learn to be kind and severe, but ......

You need to select talents rationally, and you can't just use people who are calm and wise like Shikaku Nara.

You've done a good job of taking the initiative to resolve the conflict with the Uchiha clan, so that the young people in that family who have long been eager to make a difference can be used by you, which is good! ”

Hinata narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the words of Mr. Kazuma's deathbed.

At that time, he and Tuanzang knelt in front of the teacher's sickbed.

"Sun, you are wise and forgiving; Tuanzang, you are iron-blooded and resolute.

You guys...... I am the two most proud disciples of the Thousand Hands!

Tuanzang, your strength and vision are still a little worse than those of the Sun Slash......

From now on, you will support him with all your heart!

Be the root that supports Him in the darkness, sacrificing your personal merit and honor for His prestige.

Otherwise, I'm worried that after I'm gone, the Uchiha, Hinata, and other families will be ready to move......

After all, you're all too young.

You have to remember the sacrifice that Danzo made for you, don't live up to our trust, and strive to become a ......

Qualified Hokage ......"

He and Danzo silently wiped away their tears and stepped onto the stage of the war caused by the attack on the teacher of the first place.

A few years later, the prestige of the Shinobi Ape Flying Sun Slash resounded in the ninja world, and people no longer questioned Konoha's supremacy after the loss of the Senju Brothers and Madara Uchiha......

With this famous name forged by iron and blood in what would later become known as the First Shinobi War, it is no surprise that he became the third Hokage.

Hizai stretched out his hand with a complicated face, trembling and pointing to the remaining tea powder in the teacup and continued:

"But the old tea will dry up one day......

He once poured all his tea powder, but now it stubbornly condenses at the bottom of the teacup and refuses to leave. ”

With murderous intent in his eyes, he said:

"Since he is so ignorant of current affairs, then he can only contribute his last bit of strength!

I gave him a chance, right?

If he listens to my persuasion and hands over the power of the root of his hand......

Then I'm going to save his life no matter what!

And now......

Hiding him is my last test for you!

Child, I've always been worried that you're still too much like me and Jiraiya's nature, too kind......"

Hizai stood up, looked down at the water gate, and smiled with satisfaction:

"You surprised me.

Compared to me and Jiraiya, your nature is actually more like Mr. Kazuma!

In just a few months, I had already made up my mind that I had made the wrong choice!

You are a far superior heir to Orochimaru. ”

Watergate's face showed a hint of guilt, he took out the secret letter from Zilaiya and opened it on the table:

"Since Danzang's so-called plan was not at your behest......

Then, let me, an unsuccessful master, solve this trouble for my disciples.

Four generations, you can't get the blood of the Konoha Ninja in your hands!

Whether it is infamy or sin, I will bear it myself.

Of course, this is also for the sake of my three disciples in the Land of Rain, as well as a certain fierce woman......

Try to be a good Hokage!

If the controversy and backlash caused by this incident is too great, then declare that I have betrayed Konoha and become a traitor......"

Tears welled up in the corners of Watergate's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Teacher, he ......"

Richo rubbed Watergate's long golden hair like a child, and lit his pipe with a smile:

"As a teacher, is it wrong to protect your disciples?"
