Most of the other members of the Akatsuki organization had similar reactions.

Only Nagato, who was born in the Uzumaki clan, had a sharper perception. He frowned, and the samsara eyes under his long hair slowly turned, as if he sensed a different meaning from the negotiation.

Although Hanzo has long passed his prime, his basic skills of ninja are still there, and he led a group of rain ninja to the meeting place in just a moment.

Now that the distance was closer, Yahiko could see Hanzo's face clearly through the pattering rain.

Wearing a rain ninja vest with a cape, and a gas mask that he never takes off on his head, he is not tall but has a strong temperament, and his exposed eyes reveal a confident and suspicious look.

His whole person exudes the temperament of a leader and conspirator, making him intimidating at first glance.

Sansho Hanzo also looked at the young Yahiko in front of him, a little surprised.

The person who established the famous Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain was actually this young man who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"It's a surprise..."

"The leaders of the Akatsuki organization are all hairless boys..."

A deep male voice came out from behind Sanshouyu Hanzo's mask. Because of the mask, his voice didn't sound clear, but it carried a certain kind of firm majesty.

Yahiko came to his senses from Hanzo's demeanor. Faced with Hanzo's contempt, he seemed calm.

"Hanzo-sama was also very young when he became famous..."

"Youth doesn't mean anything..."

"Especially for the profession of ninja..."

"Isn't it..."

Hanzo actually nodded appreciatively when he heard this.

Although Hanzo is suspicious and good at conspiracy, it does not mean that he does not appreciate talented young people.

On the contrary, he has always admired talented young people. He did this when he met Mifune, and he did the same when he met Sannin.

"You are a talent, Yahiko..."

"He also has extraordinary abilities..."

There was no expression on Hanzo's face that was covered by the mask, 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 child who grew up in the Kingdom of Rain, right!?"

Yahiko nodded,

"Yes, I was born in the Kingdom of Rain,"

"It is precisely because I was born in the Land of Rain that I know the sorrow of the Land of Rain!"

"The Rain Ninja Village now is different from before."

"The current Rain Ninja Village is just a purely violent organization!"

Yahiko thought about the hardships he had experienced since he was a child. The ninjas in the Rain Ninja Village did not play an upright role in it, but were just helping others to do evil.

"The Rain Ninja Village has no regard for the civilians and peace of the Land of Rain!"

"On the contrary, it is gradually destroying this country!"

Hanzo's tone did not change at all when he heard the words, and his expression behind the mask showed no emotion or anger.

"so...."

"Are you blaming me, Yahiko..."

"Is it because I, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, didn't do a good enough job!?"

Yahiko shook his head,

"I didn't mean that, Master Hanzo..."

"The citizens of the Kingdom of Rain all know the efforts and achievements you have made for the Kingdom of Rain."

"It's just that you're going in the wrong direction..."

"War and violence cannot solve the problems of the Country of Rain! It is not the needs of the people of the Country of Rain!"

"What we need is peace and communication!"

“It is peace achieved through mutual understanding!”

Hanzo listened to these words quietly, his eyes gradually became complicated,

"Yeah, so that's what it is..."

"I thought I was a careerist or a doer..."

"It turns out they are a bunch of brats with naive ideas..."

Although what Yahiko said was very ridiculous, Hanzo couldn't laugh for some reason.

Because once upon a time, he also had some naive thoughts and wanted to find a place for the Rain Country in the ninja world.

But obviously he failed. The size of the Kingdom of Rain is too small and its geographical location is too special.

No big country will allow the Country of Rain to become truly powerful and independent, which would be very dangerous for them.

For this reason, they don't mind joining forces to deal with Hanzo. Under the power of a big country, the so-called demigods are just people with the word god.

Or maybe only a true ninja god can do such a thing,

Hanzo thought of the Konoha ninja who became famous in this ninja battle.

'Is it Konoha again...'

'First the Sannin...and then the New Gods...'
