On the other side, when Danzo saw Orochimaru leaving simply, the gloom on his face almost dripped with water.

"They are all a bunch of guys without a king or a father!"

Danzo let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down, with a fierce look in his single eye.

"Sarutobi!"

"And Jiraiya and you guys..."

"Watch it!"

"I will definitely prove that I am right!"

.......

.....

country of rain,

In a cave near Yuren Village,

Although it was raining lightly outside and it was very cold and humid,

But it's different inside the cave. There's a light for every ten steps, and moisture-absorbing hay is spread under the feet.

Obviously there are traces of people living there regularly.

After walking dozens of steps, the lights suddenly came on, and there were about a dozen people in black robes standing in the middle.

There are young people and middle-aged people, ordinary people and ninjas.

Surrounded in the middle is a heroic young man with short orange hair.

"leader!"

"We really don't have enough food now!"

"Now that the outside world is fighting a war, the commercial transactions in the Kingdom of Rain cannot operate at all..."

"And both merchants and village households are collecting grain."

"There is no way to buy food!"

A middle-aged member in black robe had a worried face.

"Our Akatsuki members don't even have enough food to eat!"

Yahiko's face was also filled with sadness,

No matter how full your ideals are, you have to face reality.

The ideal of peace in the ninja world is too far away, and now the reality of rescuing war orphans and refugees cannot be faced, and even they themselves have to run out of water and food.

Another member chimed in and said,

"Yes, Chief!"

"We don't even have enough food to eat now!"

"We also need to help those refugees and orphans..."

“It’s really hard to make ends meet!”

Then the member paused and then persuaded,

"But chief, I heard that Master Hanzo has given us Akatsuki an olive branch..."

"As long as we come under his command,"

"It will give us enough food and operating funds!"

“We will all have food and clothing to worry about by then!”

A female voice suddenly sounded, with anger,

"Shut up! Stone Man!"

"Hanzo has always wanted to annex us Akatsuki!"

"They do little things to us over and over again!"

"It's just that we all turned a blind eye!"

"Maybe he is behind this food crisis!"

"How can..."

"Okay Xiaoyu!"

Yahiko opened his mouth and interrupted Xiaoyu's words,

"No matter what, Hanzo-sama is the hero of the Land of Rain..."

"If it weren't for Lord Hanzo, the Kingdom of Rain would be suffering from more wars now..."

At the beginning, Hanzo was known as the demigod of the ninja world, and he was naturally very arrogant. He single-handedly declared war on three major countries, and made the world recognize his strength and status.

In this way, the Kingdom of Rain is now feared by others, and no country will easily regard the Kingdom of Rain as a battlefield.

But Yahiko also knows that Hanzo is now old and frail, his spirit is no longer strong, and he no longer has the original heroic spirit in doing things for others.

He even just wants to survive in the Rain Ninja Village, for fear that his former enemies will come to trouble him...

Yahiko would not agree to be Hanzo's chess piece, as that would go against Akatsuki's original intention of devoting himself to the peace of the ninja world.

"I heard that the war between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire has ended..."

Yahiko slowly spoke out his decision,

"Xiaoyu, you have the strongest mobility. You will take the members who know ninjutsu to the Country of Fire to try to exchange supplies..."

"Use the detonating charm you made..."

"As for Hanzo-sama..."

"I will talk to him alone with Nagato..."

"Even though I can't work under him..."

"But no matter what, we all grew up in the Land of Rain..."

Although it is clear that Hanzo now probably has no ambition and is still on guard against Akatsuki,

But Yahiko believes that they are all citizens of the Land of Rain, and what he does is to help the citizens of the Land of Rain live better...

Hanzo should not be unreasonable to this extent.

"But Yahiko..."

Xiaoyu was a little anxious, because she thought that Hanzo had always been unkind to them, and even if they negotiated, Yahiko couldn't go there alone, at least he had to bring the Akatsuki members with him.

Yahiko waved his hand, interrupting Xiaoyu’s next warning.

"We must believe in the power of communication!"

“Isn’t this exactly our original intention?!”

Xiao Yu was speechless when she heard this, because this was indeed their original intention of establishing Xiao, to exchange for peace through non-violence.

"alright..."

Yahiko patted Xiaoyu's shoulder,

"You pack up and leave immediately..."

"We really don't have much food, we need to hurry up..."

After saying that, he and the other members took Nagato to discuss the details of the negotiation with Hanzo, leaving Xiaoyu alone standing there with a worried look.

Time waits for no one, and Yahiko naturally knows the importance of food. Without food, the entire material structure of the Akatsuki organization will collapse, let alone the peace of the ninja world.

That night, Yahiko took Nagato and several members of the Akatsuki organization to meet with Hanzo.

Fortunately, Yahiko is not completely wary of Hanzo.

Instead of rashly going directly to the Rain Ninja Village to meet Hanzo, He asked someone to pass on the message and made an appointment with Hanzo in a wilderness somewhere outside the Rain Ninja Village.

The wilderness outside Yuren Village,

The light rain is still pattering. In this country, rain is as deeply rooted in people's hearts as the air. It's up to you whether you can adapt to it or not. It has become a part of your life.

Yahiko, along with the taciturn Nagato and several members of the Akatsuki organization with some level of ninjutsu, were waiting here early.

They did not wear tools to block the rain and let the rain beat on their bodies because they were not needed in this country.

"Coming!"

Yahiko opened his eyes and looked at the figure speeding in the distance, feeling a little excited and nervous in his heart.

This was the first time he met Hanzo from Rain Ninja Village, the man known as the Demigod.

Even his teacher Jiraiya was a bit shorter than this man at his peak.

Even the title of Jiraiya Sannin was given by Hanzo, which shows the content of this man's title of demigod.
