Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

In a small valley in the Kingdom of Rain.

The members of the Akatsuki organization are undergoing repairs and daily exercises in the valley.

Although before, relying on the power of Nagato, they successfully stopped the battle between the four jinchūriki of Iwagakure and Jiraiya of Konoha, preventing the war between the two great powers from igniting again, but it was also Because of that battle, the members of the Akatsuki organization came to understand a fact——

In addition to Nagato, who is the core combat power, even Konan and Yahiko, who have also practiced with Jiraiya for a period of time, have become very limited in the role they can play in Kage-level battles.

This is a big blow to the members of the Akatsuki organization.

We all finally came together from war-torn countries for the common ideal of peace. No one wants to have to look at the backs of their companions and feel sad in pursuit of their dreams, and no one wants to be a companion. A burden as we move forward.

Therefore, recently, under the leadership of Yahiko, the Akatsuki organization has entered a stage of struggle and cultivation for all members.

Nagato was very happy about this.

The stronger the companions are, the more chance they have to survive while building a bridge to peace. Being able to become the cornerstone of peace is great enough, but who doesn’t want to see for themselves what the scenery will look like after peace comes? Woolen cloth?

So of course, as the strongest person in the Akatsuki organization and the person with the most proficient ninjutsu, Nagato shouldered the task of guiding everyone in their practice. Even after every day of practice, he would be so tired that he needed someone to support him before he could return to himself. He went to the room to rest, and Nagato was always working happily.

"Hey, Yahiko, can't you give Nagato a little more rest?"

In the rain-sheltered hut, looking at Yahiko who started sparring with Nagato who was finally free, Xiao Nan frowned and wanted to go forward and pull Yahiko over to lecture her, but before she could wait, she When she got up, Uzumaki Huo Rin, who was sitting next to her, took her hand and said with a smile:

"It's okay, Xiaonan. They just practiced a little harder and harder. It's not to the point where they need to be forced to take a rest. Besides, even if they really fall down from exhaustion, won't I still be there?"

"That's not possible," Xiaonan took Uzumaki Huo Rin's hand, pulled her sleeve up, pointed at the tooth marks on it that had not yet dissipated, and said seriously: "Huo Rin, you are also our Akatsuki companion, even if you The people of the Uzumaki clan have very strong vitality, and they should never be used casually!"

"I will use the ancestral medical ninjutsu of the Uzumaki clan to heal ordinary fatigue and minor injuries. This is my last trump card to protect everyone who is in danger of their lives."

Seeing Uzumaki Rin's smile that became brighter and brighter after integrating into the Akatsuki organization, Konan, who was obviously the younger one, sighed like an older sister. She raised her hand and rubbed the other person's red hair while using a gentle tone of care for her stupid sister. said:

"We will try our best not to use this card, Huo Lin."

"But it's better than nothing - ah, what is this?"

Uzumaki Rin rubbed Konan's hand, then pointed at a white snake that somehow got into the house with a scroll in its mouth, and asked with a surprised look on his face.

"That's..." Xiaonan looked along Uzumaki Huoren's finger and raised her eyebrows strangely, "That's the psychic beast that Kaguya Rei used to communicate with us... Didn't we just meet him a few days ago? How come there is suddenly news that needs to be conveyed by a psychic snake?"

Xiao Nan stepped forward and took the scroll from Bai Snake's mouth. Bai Snake opened his mouth and spit out a special-shaped token. Then he quietly curled up and waited for Xiao Nan's reply.

"Tokens, and scrolls..." Xiaonan pondered for a moment, stood up and walked under the eaves, shouting to Nagato and Yahiko who were still sparring in the rain outside: "Nagato, Yahiko, come and take a look at this, Kaguya It seems that Lian has something to entrust us with."

"Huh? Why is that guy in trouble again?"

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first," Nagato said thoughtfully as he stopped doing the seals on his hands: "When we separated from him before, he had an expression that said he had a chance to win and was going back to do big things. Now, Those who come to contact us are probably related to things at that time."

After temporarily suspending today's practice and teaching, Nagato and Yahiko walked into the house together, and opened the scroll with Konan——

Bang.

"Oh, you three are here. Good afternoon."

Kaguya Rei's shadow clone appeared from the scroll and greeted the trio.

"What is so important this time that you need to specifically use the combination of shadow clone + psychic beast to contact us?"

Yahiko folded his hands, looking up and down at Kaguya Rei's new outfit of blue and white hat + wordless blue and white royal robe, and said in wonder:

"By the way, you changed into new clothes today...do you have anything to say?"

"Is this it?" Kaguya Rei pulled the clothes on her body and spoke in a slightly raised tone, "This has not been completed yet, but after I return from the task that needs to be entrusted to you, it will become my mission. The symbol and proof of the Fourth Mizukage.”

"The Yondaime? Mizukage?"

Nagato was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief:

"Did you succeed in the coup? In Kirigakure? In the Water Country, one of the five major countries!?"

"Why, do you think I have to go back and continue to keep a low profile, be forbearing, and grow up, and wait until the war completely wipes out Kirigakure's family fortune before I stand up like a squirrel and reap the fruits of victory? That would be too late. "

Kaguya Rei shook her finger and said to Nagato: "When you are convinced that you have the ability to change this country, and when this country has to make changes, it is always more meaningful to take the initiative to try than to wait for the so-called opportunity to come... …What do you think, Nagato?”

"...The Kingdom of Rain has not reached that point yet." Nagato was silent for a while and said slowly: "Hanzo is just a little keen on self-preservation now. The Hidden Rain Village and the Kingdom of Rain still need him. strong to maintain basic peace."

"Well, if you think so, let's make a bet, Nagato."

Kaguya Rei took the token that she gave to White Snake from Konan, threw it away casually, and said to Nagato, Yahiko and Konan:

"In a few days, I will hold armistice peace talks with the Third Hokage of the Land of Fire at the place where the First Hokage held the Five Shadows Conference, and sign a peace agreement for a period of time in the future. I would like to invite you as an independent organization to come as The witnesses and guards of this peace negotiation will give you a chance to become famous in the ninja world... What do you think, are you willing to accept this commission?"
