160, the land of rain × Hanzo's appreciation
On the other side, Danzo saw Orochimaru simply leave, and the gloom on his face was almost dripping.
"It's all a bunch of fatherless guys!"
Danzang let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down, a fierce look in his single eye.
"Ape Fly!"
"And you guys..."
"Look!"
"I'm going to prove I'm right!"

Land of Rain,
In a cave near the village of Rain Ninja,
Although it was raining lightly outside, it was very cold and damp.
But inside the cave is different, there is a light in ten steps, and the soles of the feet are covered with hay that absorbs moisture.
Apparently there are traces of people living in it regularly.
After walking dozens of steps, the lights suddenly brightened, and there were more than a dozen people in black robes standing in the middle.
Among them are young and middle-aged, ordinary people and ninjas.
Surrounded in the middle is a handsome young man with short orange hair,
"Chief!"
"We really don't have enough food now!"
"Now that the outside world is at war, the trade of the Rain Nation is not working..."
"And the merchants and the village households are stockpiling grain."
"There's no way to buy food!"
A middle-aged black-robed member with an anxious face,
"We know that our members don't have enough food to eat!"
Yahiko's face was also full of sorrow,
No matter how full the ideal is, we have to face reality.
The ideal of peace in the ninja world is too far away to face the reality of the relief war orphans and refugees, and even they themselves have to be starved of food and water.
Another member chimed in,
"Yes, Chief!"
"We don't have enough food to eat now!"
"And to help those refugees and orphans..."
"It's really hard to make ends meet!"
Then the member paused, and then persuaded,
"But Chief, I've heard that Hanzo-sama has given us an olive branch..."
"As long as we are under his command,"
"You'll be able to give us enough food and money to work!"
"We'll all have food and clothing when the time comes!"
A female voice suddenly sounded, with anger,
"Shut up! Stone Man! ”
"Hanzo has always wanted to annex us!"
"Repeatedly, they have made small moves against us!"
"It's just that we all turn a blind eye!"
"This food crisis may have him behind the scenes!"
"How can it..."
"Okay Xiaoyu!"
Yahiko opened his mouth and interrupted Xiaoyu's words,
"No matter what, Hanzo-sama is a hero of the Land of Rain..."
"If it weren't for Hanzo-sama, the Land of Rain would have suffered more wars now..."
At the beginning, Hanzo was known as the demigod of the ninja world, and he was naturally full of pride, and declared war on the three great powers with his own strength, and let the world recognize his strength and status.
In this way, the current rain country is feared, and no country will use the rain country as a battlefield at every turn.
But Yahiko also knows that the current Hanzo is old and decrepit, and his heart is no longer angry, and he has no original pride between doing things for others.
He even just wants to survive in the village of Yu Ninja, for fear that the enemies of the past will come to him for trouble...
Yahiko would not agree to be a pawn under Hanzo's command, which would go against Akatsuki's original intention of working for peace in the ninja world.
"I heard that the war between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire is over..."
Yahiko slowly spoke his decision,
"Xiaoyu, you have the strongest mobility, take the members who know ninjutsu to the land of fire to try to exchange supplies..."
"With the detonator you made..."
"As for Hanzo-sama..."
"I'll talk to him alone with Nagato..."
"Even though I can't work under him....."
"But anyway, we all grew up in the Land of Rain..."
Although he knows that the current Hanzo is probably not aggressive, he is still on guard against Xiao,
But Yahiko believes that they are all citizens of the Land of Rain, and what he does is to make it better for the people of the Land of Rain...
Hanzo shouldn't be unreasonable to this extent.
"But Yahiko..."
Xiaoyu was a little anxious, because she thought that Hanzo had always been uneasy and kind to them, and even if she negotiated, she couldn't go over alone, at least she had to bring Xiao's members.
Yahiko waved his hand, interrupting Xiaoyu's next admonition,
"We have to believe in the power of communication!"
"Isn't that what we were meant to be?!"
Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when she heard this, because this was indeed their original intention to establish Xiao, to exchange non-violence for peace.
"Alright..."
Yahiko patted Xiaoyu's shoulder,
"Pack up and go."
"We really don't have much food, we need to hurry..."
After speaking, he and the other members took Nagato to discuss the details of the negotiation with Hanzo, leaving Xiaoyu alone to stand in place with a worried expression.
Time waits for no one, Yahiko naturally knows the importance of food, without food, the material structure of the entire Xiao organization will collapse, not to mention the peace of the ninja world.
That night, Yahiko took Nagato and a few other members of the Akatsuki organization to meet with Hanzo.
Fortunately, Yahiko is not completely wary of Hanzo,
There was no recklessness to take the rain ninja village directly to meet Hanzo, and it was a message to be passed on, and Hanzo made an appointment somewhere in the wilderness outside the rain ninja village.
The wilderness outside the village of Rain Ninja,
The light rain is still dripping, and in this country, the rain is as deeply rooted in the hearts of people as the air, and it has become a part of your life.
Yahiko, with the taciturn Nagato, and several members of the Akatsuki organization who have some ninjutsu level, waited here early.
They didn't wear the tools to keep out the rain, and they let the rain lap on their bodies, because they didn't need it in this country.
"It's coming!"
Yahiko opened his eyes and looked at the figure coming from afar, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited and nervous in his heart,
This was the first time he had seen Hanzo of Rain Ninja Village, the man known as a demigod.
Even his teacher, Zilai, was a little shorter in front of this man's peak.
Even the name of Jiraiya Sannin was given by Hanzo, which shows the content of this man's demigod title.
Several other members of the Akatsuki organization mostly reacted similarly,
And only Nagato, who was born in the Vortex clan, would have a more acute perception, he frowned, and the reincarnation eyes under his long hair slowly turned, as if he sensed a different meaning from the negotiation.
Although Hanzo has long passed his prime, the basic skills of Shinobi are still there, and it only takes a moment to lead a group of rain ninjas to the meeting place.
At this time, the distance was shortened, and through the dripping rain, Yahiko saw Hanzo's face clearly.
Dressed in a rain ninja vest with a cape, wearing a gas mask on his head that has not been taken off all year round, he is not tall but shows a strong temperament, and his exposed eyes reveal a confident and suspicious look.
The whole person reveals the temperament of a leader and a conspirator, which is intimidating at a glance.
Sanshoyu Hanzo also looked at the young Yahiko in front of him, a little surprised,
The one who established the famous Xiao Organization in the Rain Country was actually this half-grown boy who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
"It was an accident..."
"The leaders of the Xiao organization are all hairless boys..."
Sanshoyu Hanzo made a deep male voice behind the mask, and because of the mask, the voice didn't sound clear, but it had a certain firm majesty.
Yahiko came back to his senses from Hanzo's demeanor, and in the face of Hanzo's contempt, he seemed calm,
"Wasn't Hanzo-sama very young when he became famous..."
"Being young doesn't mean anything.."
"Especially for the ninja profession..."
"Isn't it..."
Hanzang nodded with some appreciation when he heard this,
Although Hanzo is suspicious and good at intrigues, it doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate talented young people.
On the contrary, he has always admired talented young people, and when he met Mifune, he met Mifuna, and the same was true when he met Mishinobi.
"You're a talent, Yahiko..."
"It also has a superhuman capacity..."
Hanzo's face covered by the mask didn't show any expression, but there was a look of consideration in his eyes,
"You have such a talent, why don't you join the Rain Ninja Village?!"
"You seem to be a kid who grew up in the Land of Rain, right!?"
Yahiko nodded,
"That's right, I'm from the Land of Rain,"
"It is precisely because I was born in the Land of Rain that I can know the sorrow of the Land of Rain!"
"The current Rain Ninja Village is different from before."
"The current Rain Ninja Village is just a purely violent organization!"
Yahiko remembered the hardships he had experienced since he was a child, and the ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village did not play a decent role in it, but were all goods who aided and abetted the abuse.
"The Rain Ninja Village is not thinking about the civilians and peace of the Rain Country!"
"On the contrary, it is gradually destroying the country!"
Hanzo's tone didn't change at all, and the expression behind the mask couldn't show joy or anger.
"So...."
"You're accusing me, Yahiko..."
"Am I, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, not doing well enough!?"
Yahiko shook his head,
"I didn't mean that, Hanzo-sama..."
"The people of the Rain Nation know the efforts and results you have made for the Rain Nation."
"It's just that you're going in the wrong direction...."
"War and violence will not solve the problems of the Rain Country! Not even the needs of the people of the Land of Rain! ”
"What we need is peace and communication!"
"It is peace achieved by mutual understanding!"
Hanzo listened to these words quietly, and gradually his eyes were a little complicated,
"yes, I see..."
"I thought I was a careerist or a doer..."
"It's a bunch of imps with naïve ideas..."
Although what Yahiko said was very ridiculous, inexplicably, Hanzo couldn't laugh again.
Because once upon a time, he also had a certain naïve idea and wanted to plan a place for the country of rain in the ninja world.
But apparently he failed, the size of the Land of Rain is too small, and the geographical location is too special.
There will be no great powers that will allow the Rain Nation to be truly strong and independent, and that would be a very dangerous thing for them.
For this reason, they don't mind joining forces to deal with Hanzo, the so-called demigods are just people with god characters under the power of the great powers.
Or maybe only a true ninja god can do such a thing,
Hanzo remembered the Konoha ninja who became famous in this ninja war,
"Is it Konoha again..."
'First of all, three ninjas... And then there is the new god...'
'When will it be the day when a small country like ours will emerge.....
