Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

The journey was uneventful and we arrived at the territory of the Rain Country.

Standing on the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom.

Jiraiya looked at the country he once fought for with a complicated expression.

He was still a young boy at that time, but now he has entered middle age.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

"Teacher Jiraiya!! What's wrong with you!" Seeing Jiraiya's absent-minded look, Okamoto Dousuke raised his voice and shouted.

"Ah! Zusuke!" Jiraiya suddenly came to his senses and looked at Okamoto Zusuke who was standing next to him.

In the past, there were also several boys who were about the same age as Okamoto Dousuke, who would chase after him and call him teacher.

Now this country is about to face another disaster that does not belong to them!!

This is the tragedy of small countries.

Even though this country has the existence of the demigod Salamander Hanzo, it can still only survive in the cracks between big countries.

"No, I just felt inspired! Let's go and meet Minato!" After Jiraiya said this, he took the lead and walked towards the garrison where the ninja army was stationed.

Okamoto Dousuke and Jiraiya had just approached the camp.

In the camp, the ninjas from the logistics department were using earth escape techniques to actively build defensive fortifications.

The ninjas who were dispatched this time, led by their respective captains, began to prepare their own tents.

Minato Namikaze was constantly checking the map and planning the camp.

"Teacher!" Minato Namikaze saw Jiraiya coming.

Immediately went to meet him.

"Dousuke!!" Minato Namikaze greeted Okamoto Dousuke.

"Brother Minato!" Okamoto Dousuke also replied to Minato Namikaze.

"Teacher, do you have any other suggestions?" Minato Namikaze asked Jiraiya.

"No, just take care of the details!~" Jiraiya looked at the busy camp and nodded to Minato Namikaze.

"What actions is Iwagakure taking now?" Jiraiya asked Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "I have already sent out scouts. I think there will be news coming back a little later!!"

"Information has just been sent back! There is no sign of Iwagakure around!" said Minato Namikaze.

"Well, it's consistent with the intelligence we got when we came out. Iwagakure has only gathered, but has not yet set out for the border!" Jiraiya nodded.

"Now we just have to wait for the spies from Iwagakure!" said Minato Namikaze with emotion.

Around the Konoha Ninja Army camp, Minato Namikaze had already dispatched reconnaissance ninjas to investigate the situation.

Then Namikaze Minato turned his gaze to Okamoto Dousuke, and said with a smile and a sincere tone: "Dousuke, I'll have to rely on your medical department again this time!"

"Brother Minato, you're welcome. This is what we should do!" Okamoto Dousuke replied with a smile.

There has been no fighting yet, so everyone is in a more relaxed mood.

"Brother Minato, what is the reaction of the Hidden Rain Village?" Okamoto Dousuke asked Namikaze Minato with a little curiosity.

Unlike the River Country where Konoha went to war with Sunagakure last time, the Rain Country now has its own ninja village. Although it is not a big ninja village, the ninjas of the Rain Village are also very difficult to deal with.

What is even more noteworthy is the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo the Salamander, a man with the title of demigod.

"No news for now!" Minato Namikaze shook his head.

This time, Konoha sent troops to fight against Iwagakure within the borders of the Rain Country and the Earth Country.

Before the ninja army set out, Konoha had already notified the Hidden Rain Village.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire also informed the Daimyo of the Land of Rain that the war between Konoha and Iwagakure would try their best to avoid harming civilians.

Although Shimura Danzo's original plan did not succeed, the Fire Country's Daimyo Mansion, under the leadership of the current Daimyo, still supports Konoha with all its might.

Hidden Rain Village!

The drizzle kept falling.

Tick ​​tock!

Under the eaves of the Chief's Building, a steady stream of rainwater was collected by special tiles and dripped continuously from the outlet of the tiles onto the bluestone slabs on the ground.

The places where the raindrops fell formed small puddles due to the falling of water all year round.

Inside the Chief Building.

A middle-aged man with a brown breathing mask on his head crossed his arms over his chest.

There are two extended filters on both sides of the mask. The tail ends of the filters are decorated in bright red, which looks particularly domineering in this country with continuous rain.

"Lord Hanzo, what do you think?" a man with long blue hair said to the man in front of him who was called demigod.

Salamander Hanzo, the man known as demigod, was looking coldly at the man with long blue hair in the audience.

"Hmm!" Being stared at by Hanzo, the man with long blue hair instantly felt the pressure.

"Damn it, is this the pressure that a man who has earned the title of demigod in the ninja world has to bear? His aura and eyes alone are almost enough to make me want to take action!" The man with long blue hair gritted his teeth, staring at the man in front of him who was called demigod.

"Even though they have already entered middle age, they still have such a deterrent power. No wonder the Hidden Rain Village can survive among several big countries."

"I need to think about it!" Hanzo looked away and looked at the sky where it was raining.

"The fall of rain cannot be changed by personal will!!" Hanzo sighed.

"Lord Hanzo, Konoha's ninja army has already entered the border of the Rain Country!" Hanzo looked away, causing the blue-haired man to breathe a sigh of relief.

The pressure that Hanzo brought to him just now was really too great.

"So what? This is a war between you, Iwagakure, and Konoha!" Hanzo still looked up at the sky where rain was falling.

It seems that the sky has the answers to all.

"The Hidden Rain Village will not intervene in the disputes between your big countries!" Hanzo said lightly.

"Lord Hanzo, Konohagakure is the largest hidden village in the ninja world. Once they have time to withdraw their troops from Kumogakure, how could Konoha be willing to hand over the gateway to the Rain Country to you, the Hidden Rain Village?" The man with long blue hair continued to persuade.

"And I heard that the commander of the Hidden Cloud Village is Orochimaru. Based on Orochimaru's personality, do you think he will let the Hidden Rain Village go?"

"Orochimaru?" Hanzo was obviously stunned when he heard the name.

Those three amazing ninjas still look as vivid and lively as ever.

It seemed as if the three boys and girls who had fought with him had been only yesterday.

Among them was the young man with pale skin and cold eyes, as if he was staring at his prey.

Hanzo still cannot forget it to this day.

"Lord Hanzo, you need to think about the future!" the man with long blue hair continued as he looked at the moved Hanzo.

"The leaves on the mountain are covered!!!"
