Konoha from the Heart

Chapter 398 Rain Ninja Village

The country of rain is in sight, crossing the moat bridge, you can faintly see countless tall towers standing in the rain.

"It's so spectacular. By the way, the scale of Urenin Village is bigger than Konoha."

Kakashi said: "The Land of Rain has no big names, and all power belongs to Hanzo alone. This is also one of the reasons for the perennial wars in the Land of Rain. As long as life is unsatisfactory, those homeless people will naturally unite to resist "

Kakashi explained.

From the heart: "It seems that the new leader has done a good job in this aspect"

Kakashi said: "Be careful. Judging from the current information, whether Hanzo has stepped down is still not confirmed. After all, he was originally called a demigod. Maybe he made a breakthrough a year ago, or he was so arrogant that he thought he had become a god." The real god may not even know."

"Are you kidding yourself..."

"Come and stop!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the rain curtain ahead.

The three of them had already spotted the ninja guarding the bridge ahead, and upon hearing that, their pace slowed down.

Soon two ninjas from the Land of Rain holding spears came to the three of them, and one of them asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Kakashi took two steps forward, took out a scroll from his hand, and said, "We are Konoha's messengers, and we are here to send an invitation for Hokage-sama to join the Chunin Exam. Master Hanzo for an interview."

While speaking, Kakashi observed the expressions of the two of them, seeing that they were only on guard and had no other reaction, he thought to himself, "Either that god is Hanzo, or he was prepared."

Cong Xin also paid attention to the two, but what he looked at was the forehead guards on their heads.

"The four vertical lines are the forehead guards of Urenin Village, which are the same as in the anime, but the manpower does not seem to be as many as in the anime"

This kind of small detail is not clear from the heart, so it can't be used as a reference.

Moreover, it seems that the Akatsuki organization in the anime settled in Urenin Village after Naruto's Chunin exam. Now it is obviously because of Congxin's random entry that Nagato and the others are ahead of schedule.

Now when encountering conflicts with anime, Cong Xin immediately thinks of his own reasons, instead of complaining about Kishimoto's unreasonable settings.

Of course, where there is no conflict, if there is something to complain about, Cong Xin will still complain.

For example, are these seemingly all-metal towers in front of you really immune to being struck by lightning?
A guard put away his spear, took the scroll, opened it, and saw that there was a mark confirmed by the border guards on it, so he asked his companion to put away the weapon as well.

He looked at the three of them up and down, but didn't recognize them for a while, so he pointed to Jiraiya's forehead and said, "This person's forehead guard doesn't look like Konoha's!"

Cong Xin joked: "I'm getting older, and my hairline is relatively receding, so I changed it to my own customized one."

These words immediately made Zilai very angry.

That Yuren naturally didn't believe it either, with such thick white hair and hairline, he was just kidding, but he didn't delve into it.

There was an order in the village long ago, and the three people who met Konoha didn't have to stop them. Naturally, he would not interfere with God's will.

That is God, and who can hide it from the eyes and ears of God.

Nagato had indeed noticed the arrival of the three of them long ago.

From the moment they entered the Land of Rain, Nagato got the news, and Yusi on the outskirts of the capital had already exposed the whereabouts of the three to him.

Of course, the three of them never thought about hiding their whereabouts.

That's why Nagato informed his subordinates in advance to lead the way on the bridge.

Outside the capital, although there are legends of gods and traces of angels, the information is not detailed, and there are more intelligence inside the capital.

There are some things that Nagato does not intend to let outsiders know now, especially Konoha's people.

In the tallest tower in the west of the capital, Nagato said in a flat voice: "The people from Konoha have arrived."

When Yahiko heard the words, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go to meet him quickly, I haven't seen Teacher Jiraiya for a long time."

Nagato said: "Yahiko, I have already told you the whole truth of the matter. Back then, even if Mr. Jiraiya didn't know about it, it was also led by Konoha. Now Mr. Jiraiya is here, you think you are here to catch up with us Is it?"

Xiaonan said: "Mostly they came here to test. Donghua (Pu Shi) and Nandou (Kimame) attacked Konoha, which has exposed the Akatsuki organization. The previous waves of Konoha's spies were also killed by us, so Jiraiya also The teacher must have come to test it.”

Yahiko was silent.

How could he not have thought of this, but he had too many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Zilaiye for advice.Among the three, he respected Ziraiya the most.

"I know, but there is always one party who has to let go of their hatred before the conflict can be resolved, isn't it?" Yahiko said slowly.

This point of view was something he had understood from an early age.

At that time, Zilai also asked him how to treat his enemies, and he replied without thinking: "Even if we want peace, we must vent all the hatred before we talk about it." Then he said painfully: "But, if this is the case, the hatred will last forever." If it cannot be resolved, the war will never be stopped, and the peace will be farther and farther away.”

Such candor, such a mind and insight, let Zilai also appreciate it.

Therefore, he also wrote this thought of Yahiko into his first book.

He also once regarded the three as the hope of peace.

Nagato said: "Yahiko, your ideal is our ideal, but don't you understand until now? Even if you have the idea of ​​giving up hatred, others may not accept peace, only to make everyone feel pain , will yearn for peace from the bottom of my heart.”

"Stop talking, Nagato"

In fact, Yahiko's ideal had been given up the moment he died.

He gave up his hatred for Hanzo, took the initiative to go to the appointment, and stepped into the trap. What he faced was the tragic death of his companion. His heart was actually desperate at that time.

That's why he took the initiative to slam into Nagato's sharp blade.

In the end, his request was just to let Nagato and Xiaonan live well, not to let them continue their so-called ideals.

But now that he has been reborn, the form has changed drastically.Nagato took another path, the path of terror and suppression.

It seems that the results are good, the land of rain has ended the civil strife, the ninjas are strictly restrained, and the life of the poor is stable.

But the peace under this horror is far from his original ideal. He is very confused, and he needs someone to guide him.

Zilai was the person he was waiting for in his heart.

So ever since Nagato told him that Jiraiya had entered the country, he had been waiting for this day, waiting for his teacher to tell him what to do.

Nagato could probably guess what Yahiko was thinking, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He could forcibly stop Yahiko, but he was unwilling to do so.

Since Yahiko was resurrected and returned to his side, most of the past hatred has been resolved, and now he can look at the problem objectively.

"First of all, what is the attitude of Konoha's people is still uncertain. You haven't fully adapted to your new body yet, so it's too dangerous to meet rashly. Secondly, they asked to see Hanzo in the name of sending a letter this time, so it's still Let Hanzo come forward first, find out their purpose, and then decide other things, what do you think, Yahiko?"

Yahiko was a little hesitant, he didn't believe that Jiraiya would harm him, but once he also believed that Hanzo would not harm him, and then the entire organization was almost wiped out.

Xiaonan said: "I agree with Nagato, Yahiko, your safety is always the first."

"Okay." Yahiko finally nodded, "However, I still hope to resolve the conflict through dialogue."

Nagato showed a rare smile and said: "Don't worry, you will always be our leader, your opinion is our opinion"

Yahiko said: "I won't show up directly, but you have to let me see the process of your communication, I know you can do it."

Nagato said with a smile: "It's easy, you don't even need ninjutsu, come with me"
