"But why is this area so peaceful?"

Jiraiya looked at the quiet and peaceful scene around him and couldn't help but ask the people around him.

He felt that this place was very different from the Rain Village rumored by the outside world.

There is absolutely no sign of the devastation after the war, and it can even be said to be a prosperous scene.

"The reason why the war in the village has disappeared is all thanks to Lord Payne." A middle-aged woman said with a smile.

She was full of reverence for Payne, as if he were the savior of this land.

"Yes, Lord Payne is really great, we are all very grateful to him!" another villager echoed.

His eyes sparkled with hope and longing for a better life in the future.

"I can't thank you enough, thank you so much!"

Everyone said, their praises for Pein endless, which surprised Jiraiya.

"Pein?" Jiraiya felt a little doubtful.

He had never heard of this person, but judging from the reactions of these people, he seemed to have extremely high prestige here.

"That's right! It's Lord Payne." The middle-aged woman answered affirmatively.

Her tone was firm and proud, as if it was an inestimable honor to be a citizen of Payne.

"Then...where is Hanzo of the Salamander?" Jiraiya continued to ask.

He remembered that Hanzo was once the leader of the Rain Village and a powerful ninja.

However, no one mentions his existence now.

Hearing the name Hanzo of the Salamander, the surrounding ninjas stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

There was a nervous look on their faces, and they seemed to be afraid of Hanzo.

The middle-aged woman looked frightened and did not dare to answer.

She lowered her head, her lips trembling, as if she was worried that she would get into trouble if she said the wrong thing.

"Sorry to bother you, sis."

When Jiraiya saw this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

He decided to leave for now to find out more about Pain and Salamander Hanzo.

He realized that there must be some unknown secret hidden in it. As a ninja, it is his responsibility to uncover the mystery and protect the safety of the village.

He realized that something important might have happened here, so he decided to leave quickly.

Jiraiya came to a dessert shop and ordered a few skewers of desserts.

His attention was attracted by a strange paper crane hanging above the dessert shop.

"What is that?" Jiraiya asked the female clerk curiously.

"That symbol is an angel! Don't you know?" The female clerk replied with a smile.

"Now if you place the angel's origami as a decoration in front of the temple, it is said to bring good luck!" she continued to explain.

"Angel...what's going on?" Jiraiya was full of doubts.

"The country is no longer divided into two, it has even been unified."

He recalled the information he had received previously and felt very puzzled.

"Besides, shouldn't the chief of this Hidden Rain Village be Hanzo of the Salamander?"

He remembered that he had once crossed paths with this legendary figure.

"It seems that I have to investigate carefully here..." Jiraiya thought to himself

He decided to find out more about the truth behind this mysterious change.

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly noticed an adult nightclub not far away.

His eyes immediately lit up and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, it looks like there will be a fierce battle waiting for us tonight!" Jiraiya said to himself

Then, he couldn't wait to walk quickly towards the nightclub.

As soon as I entered the nightclub, I saw many young and beautiful girls.

But he was not attracted by them. He quickly locked onto a mature and steady woman and chose her without hesitation.

After a while....

"This guest is really interesting and always likes to joke." The woman said with a smile.

"No, I'm not kidding. Every word I said is true and I would never lie." Jiraiya answered seriously.

"Really? That's great. I feel honored to receive such compliments from you." The woman smiled happily.

At this time, Jiraiya asked curiously:

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Shou Gang," the woman replied gently.

"Hmm... Moritsuna... Such a familiar name." Jiraiya muttered to himself.

"What's wrong? Do you know anyone else named Shou Gang?" the woman asked curiously.

"No, you two don't look alike," Jiraiya explained.

"Besides, I came all the way here!" Jiraiya said

After hearing Jiraiya say this, the woman finally reacted.

She clapped her hands in sudden realization, and then said enthusiastically:

"Really? So you are not from this village!"

Jiraiya looked at the woman, a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and replied:

“Yes, I am a mercenary, wandering around looking for work opportunities.

"I recently heard that there are some tasks here that require manpower, so I came here to see if there is any work suitable for me."

The woman asked curiously:

"So, how did you know about our village? Did someone tell you about our village?"

Jiraiya thought about it and said:

"Hmm... I think I heard someone mention something like 'Sansho Hanzo', but I don't know the details."

The woman's face changed and she quickly covered her mouth.

She lowered her voice and said to Jiraiya:

"Hush! Don't ever mention that name here!"

Jiraiya asked with some doubt:

"Why? Is this person dangerous?"

The woman nodded nervously and explained:

"Yes, if you are mistaken for Hanzo's companion, you will be killed immediately! He is a very scary person!"

"I heard that all the rain in the village now is Lord Pain's ninjutsu. Anyone who is caught in the rain will be known no matter who they are or where they are."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes widened and he showed a surprised expression.

He murmured to himself:

"Is that so? That's really scary! I have to be more careful."

Not long after, Jiraiya left the nightclub and began wandering the streets.

However, he soon spotted two Amegakure ninjas.

The two Rain Ninja noticed Jiraiya and took the initiative to greet him.

Jiraiya reacted quickly, using ninjutsu to capture them and tortured them severely.

At the gate of Rain Village, Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki had just arrived.

They looked up at the sky and felt the raindrops falling.

"Sister Yuxi, this rain seems to be man-made." Kaguya reminded.

Yuxi nodded to show her agreement:

"That's true! But it looks like it's going to stop soon."
