Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

The dark sky, the drizzling rain, and the tall buildings made of steel and concrete.

This is the Rain Village in the Land of Rain.

As a ninja village that once single-handedly started the Second Ninja World War.

There is no doubt that the Rain Village was once powerful.

Under the leadership of Hanzo Salamander, the leader who was known as the demigod, the Rain Village once possessed a strength comparable to the five major ninja villages.

Unfortunately, a war completely destroyed the wealth accumulated by the Rain Village over more than ten years.

Since then, the Hidden Rain Village has never recovered.

In addition, Hanzo of the Salamander, who once stood at the pinnacle of ninjas, could not resist the invasion of time and gradually grew old. He lost his absolute dominance over the Hidden Rain Village, and the Hidden Rain Village began to enter a state of disorder.

Thus, the Akatsuki organization came into being!

The chaotic Rain Village became the best soil for the growth of Akatsuki.

Add to that the chaotic ninja world and the personal charm of Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

In just a few years, Akatsuki has grown into a mercenary organization with nearly a thousand ninjas.

Although most of these ninjas are not very strong, you have to know that even in the entire ninja world, apart from the five major countries, the only ones that can have this number of ninjas are the former Rain Village and Takigakure.

However, although the Akatsuki organization has become so powerful, they still have no idea of ​​overthrowing Hanzo of the Salamander, because to the entire Akatsuki organization, the current Hanzo of the Salamander is still one of the people they respect.

During the Second Ninja World War, why did Hanzo of the Salamander declare war on the Sand Village and Konoha? It was because Hanzo, who grew up in the Land of the Rain, was accustomed to the sadness of being a small country sandwiched between big countries, and wanted to change all that.

Although he ultimately failed, Yahiko considered himself the successor to this will.

This is what the Akatsuki organization is doing now...

--------------

"boom!"

As thunder lit up the sky, heavy rain poured down.

In a village somewhere on the border between the Rain Kingdom and the Bird Kingdom.

Five ninjas wearing black robes with red clouds gathered here.

They are the current leaders of Akatsuki.

Leading the group was an orange-haired boy named Yahiko, and next to him was a blue-haired girl named Konan. Beside them were a ninja who looked like Buddha named Daibutsu, and a ninja with patterns on his face named Habusuke.

Behind the four of them was Nagato, who looked very inconspicuous with red hair.

Although Akatsuki now has nearly a thousand ninjas, there are only a dozen or so true jonins.

And these five people are the best among the more than ten people.

Looking at the information they had just received, the five people looked somewhat discouraged and unwilling.

The news that the Kazekage of the Sand Village, the Raikage of the Kumo Village, and the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village met in the Land of Birds meant that these three major ninja villages did not take the warnings from their Akatsuki organization seriously at all.

"Damn it, what do these big country ninja villages think of other people's countries...Waging war on the land of other countries that claim sovereignty..."

Hatosuke roared.

The reason why he was so angry was because he was born in the Bird Country.

During the Second Ninja World War, he became an orphan on the battlefield and was exiled to the Rain Country, where he became a ninja of the Rain Village.

"This is the arrogance of a great country!"

The big Buddha looks compassionate.

Feeling the surprising atmosphere in the house, Konan, who had grown into a beautiful woman but still had some little girlish temperament, looked at the silent Yahiko and asked.

"Yahiko, what do we do now?"

Konan looked rather worried, this action was decided by the leader Yahiko after he had tried very hard to convince everyone, but in fact many people did not support it, because they did not think that the three major ninja villages would care about a small mercenary organization like theirs.

In fact, it is true!

Hearing Konan's words, Yahiko turned his head to look at Konan's gentle gaze. His heart moved, and he scratched his head and smiled.

"Sorry, it seems that I am indeed naive!"

Konan was relieved to see that Yahiko could still laugh.

The big Buddha said comfortingly.

"It's not your fault, Yahiko. We are just too weak. These big ninja villages don't take us seriously at all."

The Buddha's words made the five people in the house quiet down again.

After a while, Yahiko raised his head and spoke seriously.

“I still want to give it a try…”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Try it, what do you mean, what are you going to do?"

Konan asked nervously.

This made Hatosuke, who had always had a crush on Konan, a little jealous, but he was also worried that Yahiko would do something stupid.

Yahiko's gaze was determined.

"I'm going to meet these three shadows, if possible..."

Before Yahiko could finish his words, he was fiercely refuted by several people. Even Nagato, who had always been taciturn, spoke.

"What!?"

"You are crazy!!!"

"No, absolutely not. What if they..."

Yahiko looked at those caring eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his face, but his tone was very firm.

"From the establishment of Akatsuki three years ago to now, we have been preparing for a long time, isn't it just for this moment? If we let this war continue, it will definitely become like the last war, affecting the entire ninja world. By then, how many people will die, and how many people will become orphans like us when we were children? In that case, what is the point of our efforts for so long?"

Yahiko's gentle but firm words stunned the four people in the room.

They wanted to say something in rebuttal, but the words were stuck in their throats and they couldn't utter them.

"Can..."

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool..."

Seeing that everyone cared about him so much, Yahiko smiled foolishly and said.

"I won't be so stupid as to go and meet them. Besides, those three Kages may not be willing to see me."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Aren't the three Kages going to the Land of Birds soon? In the name of the leader of Akatsuki, I will request to meet with the three Kages separately. If they are willing to see me, I will try my best to persuade them..."

Jiusuke said through gritted teeth.

"It won't work."

"I understand, I know, but we have to try to know, otherwise, everything we do will be meaningless."

The atmosphere in the house became quiet and depressing again.

There was only the sound of heavy rain and rumbling thunder outside.

This is the despair of living in this ninja world!

But at this moment, Nagato, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Yahiko, I'll go with you..."
