The Land of Rain, a small gathering area, some thinly dressed civilians of the Land of Rain are working hard to build houses here, it is not yet summer, and there is a lot of rain here, many civilians are so cold that their teeth are chattering.

In this case, it is extremely easy to get injured when doing any physical activity or exercise, but they did not stop building, after all, it is undoubtedly cost-effective to take a little risk of injury in exchange for having a safe and weather-proof home.

In addition to civilians, there are also some ninjas, most of whom are carrying the ninja forehead guards of the Land of Rain, and some are ninjas from the ninja villages of the surrounding countries.

"Thank you, big man."

A big man more than two meters tall walked out of the house, and an old man with a hunched waist was constantly grateful, and the big man showed a somewhat shy smile, shook his head, and walked to another house.

"The fire is rising! Let's come over and bake the fire, boil some water and cook some food by the way. ”

At this time, in the central clearing, a young man with purple and red hair shouted loudly, and in front of him, there was a bonfire, which was very rare in the rainforest of the rain country.

After all, the wood here, whether it is alive or dead, has a very high water content, and it is difficult to use it as fuel, but for ninjas, it is just a matter of effort.

But now, the warm bonfire made people forget about this, and they all gathered towards the campfire, no longer bothering about the difference between civilians and ninjas, just enjoying the rare warmth.

The young man also stepped away from the campfire, making more room for the civilians, and when the big man saw that everyone was resting, he also put down the thick, long, and heavy log on his shoulders and walked towards the young man.

The young man walked over to an orange-haired boy and sat down and said, "In two days, this place should be completed, Yahiko, where is the next location?" ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Yahiko looked at the young man, and the big man who came over, and said, "Old Zi, Han, if it weren't for you, we would have spent at least twice as much time. ”

Han waved his hand, picked a place and sat down, even if he was sitting, he gave people an extremely tall feeling, he looked at the smiling people around the campfire, and said:

"I never knew there was such a difficult place in the ninja world before."

"This is the helplessness of small countries, financial shortages, limited funds, need to be used on central buildings, only in this way, can we ensure that the territory will not be easily invaded, as for the civilians. I can only be wronged.

Unlike large countries, the daimyo and shinobi villages have the funds and manpower for emergency disaster response, and they also have enough resources to drive the development of the entire country, so that they will not be unable to provide food and clothing to the people. ”

Yahiko's face was full of emotion, and he said: "My biggest dream is to let everyone at least have food and clothing, you see, just food and clothing are enough to make them smile happily."

The Land of Rain is a country of sorrow, and the heavens seem to pour out all their tears here, so the people here don't see the sun and don't see smiles, but I believe that everything will be fine.

If the Land of Rain can also be full of happy smiles, then other countries and other people also have ways to be happy, don't they?

Although it is not the first time that Lao Zi and Han have been invited, nor is it the first time they have been refused, I still want to ask, are you willing to stay and help us? ”

Hearing this, Lao Zi put his hands behind his head and lay directly on the wet boulder, he activated the ability that was very simple in the past, but. The rain beneath him hadn't been dried up, and he remembered that he didn't seem to be able to use the power of the Tailed Beast anymore.

He sat up again and said, "Yahiko, your dream is great and touches me, but I am a ninja of Iwakuin Village, and I will not betray my village.

Maybe one day, I will be able to disarm and return to the field, and I will also travel this world, like you, and try my best to help those I can help, right? ”

Lao Zi actually said less, he is not only a ninja in Iwain Village, but also a tailed orc pillar force in Iwain Village, maybe disarming and returning to the field is just a beautiful dream for him.

He could be grateful to Yahiko for saving them, and chose to stay in the Land of Rain for a while, reciprocating the kindness, and enjoying it, but staying in Iwain Village for a long time would not agree.

Han also nodded and said, "I'm just like him, don't forget, ninjas sometimes have fewer paths to choose than civilians. ”

Yahiko nodded helplessly and said, "What I understand is that I am too greedy, but having you here will make me feel a lot more down-to-earth." ”

This is what Yahiko intended. The penultimate persuasion, as for the last one, it may be the day when Lao Zi and Han decide to leave the Land of Rain and return to Yanyin Village.

Lao Zi looked at the lost Yahiko and said, "Actually, you also know our identity, don't you?" How long we can stay here is not something we can decide for ourselves.

We didn't choose to leave now, or earlier, because we were running away, because we lost something very valuable, and we didn't dare to go back to the village until we got it back. ”

"Well, I understand, it's just a little reluctant."

Yahiko nodded, Lao Zi stretched his waist, and said, "By the way, Yahiko, when you saved us that day, did you meet the enemy we were fighting against?" I still don't understand how he defeated me and Han. ”

When the words fell, Han's eyes were also on Yahiko, Yahiko was a little flustered in his heart, as a disciple of Jiraiya, he had also heard the legend of Mu Dun, and he also knew that it was a force that was intolerable in today's ninja world.

But the one who has this power is Sakamoto Tatsuma, the big brother who saved them, so Yahiko tried to maintain his composure on the surface, shook his head, and said:

"I don't know, but when I arrived, the two of them had already fallen to the ground, and I didn't see anyone else."

"Is that so? It seems that the enemy is moving too quickly. ”

Lao Zi didn't force to ask, but withdrew his gaze, in fact, he could guess that Yahiko should know the truth, and he also wanted to know what the truth was.

After all, he and Han were defeated at the same time, and even the four tails and five tails were defeated, and it was to the extent that the strength of the tailed beast could not be recovered for several months now

When they were sober, neither the White Yasha Tatsuma nor the Golden Flashing Wave Feng Shui Men showed the strength to do this, otherwise the two would not have been dealing with them at that time.

But what really happened after they fell unconscious, was there a new enemy, or . After they fell unconscious, what did Tatsuma do to him and Han's bodies, or seals?

Only by knowing Konoha's methods, the next time they fight Tatsuma or the others of Konoha, can they have corresponding precautions, and those who know the truth, except for the four and five tails who can't respond, and the initiators, may only know the three Yahiko who saved them.

But no matter what Yahiko said, he still saved the two of them, although Lao Zi knew that since Konoha chose to let him and Han go, in fact, the danger to their lives had been lifted, and they would all be alive if Yahiko saved them or not.

It is possible to judge a person's good deeds, not from the results, but from the deeds, and it is a fact that Yahiko saved them, and it also provides a space where they can rest, so as not to be questioned as soon as they return to the village.

So. Since Yahiko refuses to tell the truth, then they will wait, maybe when the strength of the Four Tails and Five Tails recovers, they will also be able to learn the truth from the mouths of the Four Tails and Five Tails, or . The village found out the truth and came to pick them up.

Yahiko saw that Lao Zi no longer asked, and his hanging heart was also relaxed, Lao Zi and Han both observed, after all, Yahiko was only a teenager, and he was still too immature, but since he had decided, he should not change his course.

Lao Zi even took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Yahiko, do you know why among the five major countries, daimyo and ninja villages coexist? Even the first generation of Hokage Senju Pillars, who was so powerful back then, only chose to establish a ninja village instead of a ninja country? ”

Yahiko shook his head, he hadn't thought about it, maybe he didn't want the war to continue?

Lao Zi explained: "It's very simple, because the daimyo will actively develop the country's economy more than anyone else, and the inheritance of hundreds or even thousands of years has also allowed their roots to surround the entire country and touch every corner.

If the hasty banning of daimyo is like what Hanzo did back then, then the economic development of the entire country will come to a standstill or even regress.

Perhaps if the ninja is given enough time, he can regain control of the entire country's economic lifeline and lead the country's development again, but during this transition period, no organization will be able to resist it.

Even if it was the Fire Nation back then, if the Thousand Hands Pillar rashly banned the Daimyo, then the ninjas from other countries would rush into the Fire Country to plunder, they might not be able to defeat the Thousand Hands Pillar, but they could defeat the Fire Country.

This is true for big countries, and the same is true for small countries, you can save a hundred civilians, a thousand civilians with your like-minded ninja companions, but . It can't save the whole country.

So you're going to take a different path, one that is at least different from Hanzo. ”

Yahiko opened his mouth and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's up to you, I'm not from the Land of Rain, my understanding of this place comes from others, and what I've seen and heard in the past few months, only you, who were born in the Land of Rain, know how to go to this country."

Yahiko, who didn't get an answer, couldn't help but feel a little lost, he lowered his head and pondered, Lao Zi reached out and patted his thin shoulder, and said, "I hope that in the future ninja world, there will be news from you." ”

"I'll do it!"

Yahiko nodded vigorously, he looked longingly at the gray sky, and in the gray rain clouds, two flashes of gold and silver shuttled through.

"You two, you seem to be very laid-back, huh? The ninja world is in chaos because of you. ”
