Land of Rain.

A country of extreme bad luck.

At the same time, it borders the three great powers of the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire.

Whether it was the First Ninja War or the Second Ninja War, they were all reduced to the battlefields of the Three Kingdoms.

And the country's climate is perennial rainy weather, bordering its southwest, the country of wind with yellow sand everywhere, which is completely two extremes.

The particularity of the climate has led to a serious shortage of food production in the Land of Rain, coupled with the scourge of the ninjas of the Three Kingdoms from time to time, making the already small number of farming opportunities even more scarce.

The ninjas of the three major countries naturally ignored these, and the evil consequences naturally fell on the inhabitants of the rain country.

Poverty, hunger, skinny, poor, and hopeless ......

Any word that symbolizes suffering can be applied to the heads of the inhabitants of the Land of Rain, and it will not be half abrupt.

Holding an umbrella, Naruto walked slowly from a town, numb, helpless, and hollow, the unifying look of everyone here.

Burglaries, street robberies, happen all the time.

The strong swing the knife at the stronger, while the weak often swing the knife at the weaker.

The perennial war has caused the society of the Land of Rain to lose its most basic order.

When bullied by ninjas from other countries, there are people who grovel and endure in silence; Some people erupted in silence and sacrificed their precious lives for their country and their loved ones.

And this kind of action, in the eyes of the groveling, is so ridiculous;

Perhaps it was the heroic feats of these heroic men that deeply pierced their humble and ridiculous self-esteem.

These kneeling down have intensified their oppression of their own compatriots, and their actions are worse and more cruel than the 'invaders' they have done.

In the dark alleyway, a thin woman with a hungry face was dragged into the darkness by two ruffians.

The people around him seemed to have long been commonplace, just glanced at it silently, then withdrew his gaze and continued to be busy with the livelihood in his hands.

And the woman who was dragged in didn't seem to have encountered this kind of suffering for the first time, although there were struggles, but more helplessness and pain.

"Need help?"

At the entrance of the alleyway, a boy in an open-chested kimono whispered to the woman.

“…… Come on. Instead of the slightest expression of excitement, the woman shook her head frantically and urged him in a hoarse voice.

Those who fall into darkness will especially cherish the light that shines on her through the layers of dark clouds.

The ruffians glanced at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

In the chaotic rain country, clean and neat clothes are a symbol of status and strength to some extent.

If they dare to swing their fists at the strong, how can they be street ruffians.

"Understood." Naruto nodded slightly, slowly closed the umbrella, and took a few steps to walk in front of the two ruffians.

Although it was him who looked up, for some reason, it was the two ruffians who kept retreating.

Or perhaps, they felt the temperament of a strong man in this boy.

"To be honest, I look down on you."

The moment the words fell, Naruto's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the figures of the two ruffians suddenly flew out, as if they had been hit hard by a high-speed moving chariot, and slammed into the walls on both sides.

After a slight pause, it slowly slides down the wall.

The woman looked at him excitedly as she looked at this scene, "Are you, the ninja-sama of the Dawn Light?" ”

"No, I'm just a passerby." Naruto helped her to her feet and shook his head slightly.

Dawn Light, also known as the Dawn Organization, is a rebel army that was born out of the oppression of the ninjas of the Three Great Kingdoms and dissatisfied with the inaction of the Rain Ninja Village.

In the eyes of most people in the Land of Rain, the ninja of the Dawn is the light of hope that is about to lift the dark clouds that loom over the Land of Rain.

"Thank you." The woman bowed in thanks.

Naruto reopened the umbrella, looked her up and down, and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"The Land of Birds." The woman pulled the hair from her forehead.

"Can you tell me what you used to do?" Naruto asked, the woman's words and deeds were not like ordinary women's.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Hand her the umbrella.

"Mother was a shrine maiden." The woman put the umbrella over the heads of the two and said.

"Yes." Naruto nodded slightly, didn't ask too much, and leaned over to find out the money from the two ruffians.

Give the money to the woman.

"I don't." The woman shook her head in refusal.

"It's not much, but it's enough for you to live for a while." Naruto put the thing in her hand.

After a long period of lack of nutrition, her body has reached the brink of collapse.

Compared with him, the money is obviously more useful to the woman.

Money, for him, enough is good, too much is a waste.

What he desires, money can't buy.

"Thank you." After much hesitation, the woman accepted it and bowed again in thanks.

"I can take you to the next town."

Looking out of the alleyway, with those wolf-like peeking eyes, Naruto suggested to the woman.

"I'm sorry."

Obviously, she also understands that she can't get along in this town anymore.

"May you ask where you're going?"

"Go find the 'Dawn Light'."

……

“…… How's it going? ”

The young version of Shimura Danzo looked at the masked samurai not far away and asked.

"Yes." The samurai stared into his eyes, and after a moment, nodded slowly.

"The right choice, the future of the Land of Rain lives on in your hands."

"The information about the 'Xiao Organization' will be delivered to you one after another." Shimura nodded with satisfaction, got up and left, with a comfortable posture, as if he was the master here.

But the surrounding rain ninja, including Hanzo, who sits in the main seat, all turn a blind eye to this.

And in this regard, Shimura Danzo seems to have expected it for a long time.

In terms of strength, neither of them is enough for the demigod Sanshoyu Hanzo to fight, after all, this leader of the Rain Ninja Village is the only one who has been given the honorific title of God after the first Hokage.

It is precisely because of his existence that the Land of Rain and the Village of Rain Ninja can maintain the situation on the verge of being shattered in front of them in the destruction of the three major countries again and again.

But it's also a pity that his background in a small country doomed him to not become a real 'god'.

Even if the strength of Sanshoyu Hanzo is strong, in today's ninja world, even if the individual's strength is strong, it can only be placed in second place.

The strength of the whole, the strength of the ninja village, is the real strength.

As long as Sanshoyu Hanzo dares to do something to him now, tomorrow Konoha ninjas will dare to come to the city.

One ninja can't beat him, ten ninjas can't beat him, what about a hundred? What about a thousand?

Today's rain ninja can exist, more because it is just a piece of chicken ribs, a piece of tasteless food and a pity to discard, it is not worth the three major ninja villages to spend too much effort on it.

The reason why the three major powers chose to open up a battlefield in the Land of Rain is not because of her 'rich' resources, but simply compared to other options, the Land of Rain is more suitable.

If the Land of Rain had remained neutral as it had been in the past, Danzou would not have appeared here.

But it's a pity that the 'Akatsuki Organization' that has been active in the Land of Rain recently, has greatly hindered Konoha's interests in the Land of Rain.

Even if the actions of the 'Xiao Organization' are so righteous in the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain.

But in Danzo's view, as long as it blocks Konoha's interests, it must be eliminated.

As for the so-called 'justice', that is something that only the victors are qualified to write.
