From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

In particular, the Akatsuki organization is really implementing this idea.

So, what reason is there to mock and despise a group of people who appear to be so naive in their ideals, pursuits, and even dreams?

No, they're even cute.

But, in this cruel world, naiveté is not a good word after all.

Not everyone has the same noble and pure pursuits as the people in Akatsuki.

For example, Hanzo the Salamander.

He has never been naive. Before his fall, he was a man of great talent and strategy. How could such a person be naive?

Now, it has simply become disgusting and nauseating.

As of now, there is an irreconcilable conflict between Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village.

This is a power struggle.

The power surrounding the Rain Kingdom.

Just as Diarmuid said, if Akatsuki cannot become the true spokesperson for the Rain Country, then in what capacity can it conduct the so-called "communication" with other countries?

Not to mention pacifism.

Therefore, after the Akatsuki organization has developed to a certain extent, it will inevitably fight for power in the Rain Country.

At present, all the power of the Rain Country is concentrated in one person, that is the former guardian of the Rain Country, Hanzo of the Salamander, who is respected as a "demigod" in the ninja world.

Perhaps decades ago, with his great talent and tolerance, Hanzo of the Salamander might have been able to coexist peacefully with the Akatsuki organization and even transfer power perfectly.

But now, Hanzo of the Salamander is nothing more than a puppet of power. He guards the land of the Rain Country. No one can touch his last power. Whoever tries to touch it will be killed by him!

In a cave in the Akatsuki base, three young men were gathered together, discussing something.

"The Third Shinobi World War is over. They left nothing behind except blood and destruction..." said a very beautiful young girl with short indigo hair and a paper flower on her temples.

From her tone, you can tell that she hates war.

It was Xiaonan, and next to her stood a man with bright red hair. The man also looked very young, but from his behavior, he seemed to have a weak character.

His long bangs covered his eyes, which prevented him from looking unique from ordinary people.

Because this guy has a pair of reincarnation eyes.

There is no doubt that he is the poor man chosen by Uchiha Madara, Nagato.

Or perhaps we could call him Uzumaki Nagato, even though he didn't have that last name, and he might not even know that his bloodline came from the Uzumaki clan. …

Standing opposite Nagato was a guy with short orange hair who looked very sunny and cheerful. From his lively expression, it could be seen that this guy's personality was much more cheerful than Nagato's.

And he also looks like a hot-blooded idiot.

That's true. If he wasn't passionate and naive enough, how could he have created the Akatsuki organization?

This person is Yahiko.

The three of them were all war orphans from the Land of Rain. Luckily, they had met Jiraiya during the Second Ninja World War and had formed a master-disciple relationship with him.

It was also for this reason that they learned the power to protect themselves from Jiraiya.

No one actually died in the war.

Of course, outside, Jiraiya received the news about the death of the three of them. While feeling sad, he also accepted the result, thinking that his disciples had already died.

"Don't be too discouraged. It's time for us to get busy. There are still many people out there whose homes and villages have been destroyed. We should help them rebuild them." Yahiko said with a smile.

Nagato opened his mouth, but seemed to be afraid to say something.

After seeing his action, Yahiko patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Nagato, what do you mean? We grew up together as brothers. Come on, tell me what you want to say."

As if encouraged by Yahiko, Nagato smiled shyly and said, "Yahiko, what should we do about the Hidden Rain Village?"

Konan also spoke up at this time: "Yes, Yahiko, they think we are trying to win people's hearts and minds, and told us not to do it again, and warned us. ...That is Hanzo of the Salamander, and Jiraiya-sensei is no match for him."

Yahiko's expression also became a little angry, and then he said, "Hanzo of the Salamander betrayed the Land of Rain and its people. Not only did he not help with the reconstruction, but he also asked us to stay out of it. What kind of logic is this? Anyway, I will not obey his orders!"

Nagato was stunned for a moment, but quickly said, "I will always support you, Yahiko."

Xiaonan also smiled and said, "Me too."

"The three of us, no, our Akatsuki organization is united and works together, so we would give up the pursuit of our ideals just because of the threat from Hanzo of the Salamander!" Yahiko said happily.

But in the end, none of the three of them could really come up with a way to deal with Hanzo the Salamander.

It's as if, with everyone united and working together, we can inexplicably change everything.

Innocence and romance are fully displayed.

At this moment, a sneer and disdain came from outside.

"Who!?" Yahiko asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Then, two figures walked in from outside the cave, one wearing a one-eyed mask that looked like a vortex, and the other looked like a black and white combination, with half of his body black and the other half white.

Without a doubt, it is Obito and Black and White Zetsu.

"Nice to meet you. I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Uchiha Madara..." Uchiha Obito said in a slightly hoarse voice.

It seems that this can make him look more mature.

"Uchiha... Madara?" Yahiko looked at the masked man in front of him in confusion.

...asking for flowers. Because they were taught by Jiraiya, they had some knowledge of Konoha. They had naturally heard of Uchiha Madara and others.

Even people who are not from Konoha would have heard of it.

But the question is, hasn't Uchiha Madara been dead for decades?

"You may feel confused, but those are all fake." Obito said again, then took off the rain hat on his head, raised his head, and the Mangekyō Sharingan was revealed under the single eye of the mask.

This is undoubtedly more convincing.

For a moment, Yahiko was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should believe this guy's identity.

But soon, he stopped worrying about it and asked directly: "What are you, a big shot like you, doing here?"

"Looking for you, or you could say I'm looking for him." Obito pointed at Nagato.

Nagato was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Yahiko stood in front of him, like an older brother protecting his younger brother, and asked, "What do you want to do with Nagato?"

"It seems that you also know that he has a unique power, the Rinnegan... the legendary Sage's Eye." Obito said with a smile.

He naturally knew that it was Uchiha Madara who placed the Rinnegan on Nagato, but he would not say it out loud, just to make Nagato believe that he was the real 'man of destiny'.

...0 "So what? If you want to hurt Nagato and take his eyes, we will not be polite to you even if you are Uchiha Madara!" Yahiko said in a deep voice.

"No, you misunderstood. I never intended to hurt Nagato or be your enemy. I came here just to reach some cooperation with Nagato. ... His power should not be covered up like this." Obito said with a smile.

"What cooperation?" Yahiko asked directly.

"Of course, I pursue world peace just like you do. But forgive me for being frank, you are too naive to actually try to achieve this through communication..." Uchiha Obito said.

To be honest, even when he was not evil, he was not so naive.

Now I feel like these people are talking nonsense!

After a brief pause, Uchiha Obito continued, "Your actions are unacceptable. In my opinion, if you want people to listen to you, you must first have the ability to convince them. I have a plan that may be able to help..."

"No need to say more!" Yahiko interrupted Obito directly, and then he said very firmly: "From the first time I saw you, I knew that you could never understand the thoughts of us weak people, let alone our pursuits. From the beginning, we were not on the same path..."

"The thoughts of a weakling?" Obito smiled and looked at Nagato. "You too? Do you think you're a weakling?"

Nagato still looked somewhat weak, but nodded quickly. He felt that Yahiko was right.

Moreover, he trusted Yahiko more, so naturally he would not stand on the side of Uchiha Madara.

Obito smiled and nodded, "Okay, weaklings. ...Oh, I should say weaklings with the power of God... Hehehe..."

He was not in a hurry to do anything, nor did he intend to use force to coerce Nagato.

In fact, when he faced the Rinnegan, he still felt a little guilty. After all, he was not the real Uchiha Madara, so using force was no longer an option.

"People who have power but act with the mentality of the weak will be manipulated by this world sooner or later. Maybe in the future, you will change your mind. Today, just treat it as getting to know each other..." Uchiha Obito said softly.

Then he waved his hand, turned around and left the cave with Hei Bai Jue.

After Uchiha Obito left, Yahiko frowned and said, "What a weird guy..."

Nagato was secretly thinking...

He said……

Do I have the power of God?

Can I use this power to help Yahiko?

Chapter 555: Hanzo's plan, Kushina prepares for pregnancy.

Walking on the road leaving the Rain Country, Uchiha Obito said casually: "It is obvious that trying to convince him in this way will not work at all." "Then what do you want to do?" Black Zetsu asked.

"A sunny, bright, innocent person full of hope for the world doesn't fit in with our plans at all," Obito said.

But before Black Zetsu could speak, Obito smiled again and said, "But it doesn't matter. After all... I was once such a person."

Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, and White Zetsu asked, "So what you mean is, you want him to experience the same pain as you? So that he can understand you?" "Maybe..." Uchiha Obito murmured softly.

A few days later, in the Hidden Rain Village.

In a spacious courtyard, many ninjas were closely guarding the courtyard.

Hanzo of the Salamander, known as the demigod of the ninja world, is in this courtyard at this moment.

He was sitting cross-legged at a tea table, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking tea.

A ninja from the Hidden Rain Village was half-kneeling in front of him, and behind Hanzo stood some guards, without any slackness.

Sure enough, this former hero has now become a coward.

"So, they refused my order?" said Hanzo Salamander while drinking tea.

As he spoke, because he was drinking tea without wearing a gas mask, the lavender poisonous gas lingered between his words.

Fortunately, everyone in the room was wearing a gas mask, so they were not afraid of being poisoned to death by him.

"Yes, Lord Hanzo, Akatsuki has rejected your order and has already begun to act." The ninja from the Hidden Rain Village said in a deep voice.

"Alas, what a bunch of stubborn guys." Salamander Hanzo sighed, the strong poison seemed even more terrifying.
