"The Kusagakure Village has responded, saying that the alliance is too important and must be carefully considered.
They want to hold a meeting with us at the border between the two countries to discuss the alliance between Kusagakure and Rain Village, and you, the leader, must attend. Of course, the leader of Kusagakure will also go."
Yuuto Sagi lowered his head and announced the response from the Kusagakure Ninja to the "God" of the Rain Village.
Not long ago, Pain suddenly asked them to send an envoy to Kusagakure, saying that the Rain Village wanted to form an alliance with the Kusagakure Village.
Yuto Sagi didn't quite understand Pain's intention. The alliance of ordinary ninja villages was meaningless because small ninja villages had no say in the ninja world.
Whether there will be a war or not is controlled by the big ninja village. The small ninja villages are simply unable to resist. No matter how reluctant they are, they can only be forced to cooperate with the actions of the big ninja village.
Of course, Yuuto Sagi doesn’t think that Amegakure is just an ordinary small ninja village. During the Second Ninja World War, one of the protagonists was from Amegakure.
Although the Rain Village failed in the end and failed to shake the status of the five major ninja villages, it had already accomplished what the other small ninja villages could not do. It launched an attack on the big countries and caused them certain damage.
"Holding a meeting at the border between the two countries to discuss the alliance..." Payne's eyes flashed with thought.
"Promise them." Payne said expressionlessly.
It's just the Grass Village, not to mention that it is at the border between the two countries. Even if he goes to the heartland of the Grass Country, so what? Can the Grass Country deal with him
"I understand. I will reply to them immediately." Zuo Muyuto nodded and stepped back.
Pain's indifference did not make him feel uncomfortable. After all, he was the "God" who replaced Hanzo.
Not a demigod like Hanzo, but a true god.
Anyone who has seen Pain in action will think that the title of "God" is well-deserved. His powerful and strange abilities allow him to defeat his enemies without even making any hand seals. He can just stretch out his hand and the enemy will be defeated.
Isn't it natural that gods have cold personalities? They are not mortals like them. This is what Zuo Muyuu thinks.
In fact, he rarely sees Pain, or rather, everyone rarely comes into contact with Pain. Usually, it is the "angel" Konan who contacts them on behalf of "God" and gives orders.
But recently the situation has been the opposite. The "angels" have disappeared, and "God" has come out to preside over affairs.
Fortunately, although Pain rarely appears, his prestige in the Hidden Rain Village is still very strong. No problems have occurred and everything is still operating normally.
Yuuto Sagi quickly responded to the Kusagakure side, saying that their Rain Village had agreed to the meeting, and that the two sides could hold the meeting at the border of their territories, and that the leaders of both sides would attend.
After finishing the work, Zuo Muyuu couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
"Chief, we are suddenly forming an alliance with the Kusagakure Village. Are we planning to unite with other small ninja villages to fight against the big ninja villages?"
It was obvious that Zuo Muyuto didn't think his leader was a law-abiding person.
If they had been law-abiding, they would not have launched a rebellion and overthrown Hanzo's rule, allowing him to lead the Hidden Rain Village and rule the Rain Country.
Moreover, after successfully killing Hanzo and overthrowing Hanzo's rule, Pain did not announce his achievement of killing the demigod Hanzo to the ninja world in a high-profile manner, but chose to block the news, allowing outsiders' influence on the Rain Village to remain in the period of Hanzo's rule.
From this we can see that Pain has great ambitions. If he was just pursuing ordinary fame and fortune, then if he made his success public, his name would be famous in the ninja world because he killed the demigod Hanzo, but Pain did not do that.
Sagi Yuto personally participated in the rebellion and made considerable contributions in it. If it were not for the contributions he made back then, he would not have been valued in the Hidden Rain Village today.
You know, before the rebellion, his status in the Rain Village was not low.
"No matter what it is, as long as it can make the Hidden Rain Village better, I will keep following it." Zuo Muyuu looked into the distance. There were dark clouds ahead and rumbling thunder. It was going to rain again.
In Saki Yuto's memory, the sky in the Hidden Rain Village was always so gloomy, and it rained a lot all year round, which is why it was named the Rain Country.
Therefore, the buildings in the Hidden Rain Village are particularly unique, with tall towers with pointed roofs, and there are a large number of dense pipes in the village.
Sagi Yuuto became a ninja just before the Second Ninja World War, which was the most glorious time for the Hidden Rain Village.
Everyone is full of confidence and feels that they can replace the five major countries or make the Hidden Rain Village the sixth largest ninja village.
The same was true of Sagi Yuuto at that time, he had strong confidence in the Hidden Rain Village.
They have a powerful ninja army, each ninja is proficient in assassination, and they have a powerful leader who is revered as a demigod and a half-zo by the people in the ninja world.
Why can't they become a great ninja village? Why can't the Rain Country, with a village like the Hidden Rain, become a great power and enjoy the resources of a great power.
But unfortunately, the power of the Five Great Nations was beyond their imagination. Perhaps in high-level battles, Hanzo did not lose to the ninjas of the Five Great Nations. He defeated Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, and gave them the title of Three Ninjas.
But below the top levels, the Hidden Rain Village failed completely, and almost every level of ninja was inferior to the ninja of the five major countries.
Their jonin can't beat Konoha's jonin, their chuunin can't beat Konoha's chuunin, and their genin are no match for Konoha's genin...
Failed, the Hidden Rain Village failed, and paid a heavy price for it.
After this, Hanzo seemed like a different person. He was no longer as brave as before. He had the power of a demigod, but he needed someone to guard his safety 24 hours a day.
Faced with the rising power of the Rain Kingdom, he remained vigilant, and ultimately killed someone for fear of having his position threatened.
Such a Hanzo can no longer lead the Rain Country forward. He is no longer the brave man who dared to swing his sword against stronger ones. Now he is just the evil dragon that is afraid of being conquered by the brave.
Therefore, Yuto Saki decisively became the Akatsuki's internal support in the Hidden Rain Village. He believed that the new Akatsuki was more suitable to lead the Hidden Rain Village forward than Hanzo who had become a dragon.
The time agreed upon by both parties was not very long, and they soon arrived at the location agreed upon by both parties.
Three days before the agreed time, the Rain Village and the Kusanagi Village sent ninjas to patrol around the meeting place and also set up a simple meeting room.
When the Grass Ninja leader saw Pain with the Rain Ninja, he was stunned for a moment, but he was the leader of the Ninja Village after all. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still quickly greeted Pain.
"What a promising young man! The Hidden Rain Village is really low-key. I guess other ninja villages in the ninja world are like me. I thought the leader of the Hidden Rain Village was still Hanzo." The Kusanagi leader said with a smile.
"Hanzo? He's just a loser from the old era. Let's discuss the issue of the alliance." Payne said indifferently.
When the Grass Ninja leader heard what Pain said, the look in his eyes changed when he looked at Pain.
I originally thought that it was Hanzo who pushed forward the successor. According to what he said, it might be that the young man in front of me used an unfriendly way to force Hanzo to step down and become the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.
It is even possible that Hanzo may not be alive now.
The Grass Ninja leader felt that he had to be careful with the young man in front of him.
This young man's martial arts skills must be very impressive, as he was able to force the demigod Hanzo to step down.
Both parties walked into the conference room and sat down. The conference table was a rectangular wooden table. The Grass Ninja leader and Pain sat on the short side, while the others did not sit down but stood behind their leaders.
"Since we are going to form an alliance, what I want to ask is, after the alliance between the Kusagakure Ninja and the Hidden Rain Village, in what areas will they cooperate?" asked the Kusagakure Ninja leader with a smile.
He was also quite surprised by the arrival of the envoy from the Hidden Rain Village, as they suddenly said they wanted to form an alliance.
But the Grass Ninja thought of a series of major events that had happened recently and came up with a possibility.
What kind of village is the Hidden Rain Village? It is the village that started the Second Ninja World War. Although it is a small ninja village, it is a small ninja village with an extraordinary experience. It has fought with real swords and guns with the big ninja villages.
At this point in time, the Hidden Rain Village suddenly found the Kusagakure Ninja and asked for an alliance. It was hard for the Kusagakure Ninja leader not to think of something wrong, as the Hidden Rain Village had a criminal record.
The Kusanagi leader guessed that the Hidden Rain Village was trying to stir up trouble again, and wanted to start the Fourth Ninja World War again like the Second Ninja World War.
To be honest, the Kusagakure leader was somewhat tempted.
He is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, otherwise he would not be bold enough to send his assassins to receive the peace information from Iwagakure Konoha and try to provoke a war between the two countries.
He was not looking forward to the upcoming peaceful ninja world at all.
You five big countries can go to war whenever you want and wage war wantonly on the territories of their small countries.
When you get tired of fighting and want peace, hold a meeting, shout something, and everyone will stop moving. You have to have peace.
There is opportunity only in chaos. Only in the chaos of war, when the five major countries consume each other's strength, will the Grass Ninja have a chance to take over. This is what the Grass Ninja leader has always thought.
If the Hidden Rain Village is willing to raise the banner to stir up trouble and start a war, the Kusanagi will be very happy to see it.
Of course, this is just his guess after all, so the Grass Ninja leader has to meet with the leader of the Hidden Rain Village in person to test his true thoughts.
"Since you are the leader of a ninja village, you should know how severe the persecution of small ninja villages and countries by the five major ninja villages is." Nagato was too lazy to play along with the leader of the Grass Ninja and said directly.
Although he was the leader, Nagato had not developed the habits of a politician and still preferred to be direct.
After hearing Nagato's blunt words, the Kusagakure leader was almost certain that the Alliance between the Hidden Rain Village and the Kusagakure was definitely not a simple cooperation.
"Of course I understand. They come and go in our territory at will, and they want us to cooperate with them. They have a lot of resources and bully us..." the Grass Ninja leader said in a deep voice.
If he were in another place or talking to another person, he would not say these words.
He dared to say this because the other party was the Hidden Rain Village, the village that once raised its sword against the big countries and was hit hard by the five big countries.
Hearing the words of the Grass Ninja leader, Pain nodded expressionlessly. Although they were not a country, in this ninja world, no matter how small a country it was, they all lived humbly in front of the big countries.
It’s okay for some small countries in poor locations. The big countries are too lazy to take your remote place, which has no strategic significance.
But if it was an important place like the Hidden Rain Village that bordered three major countries at the same time, it would be terrible.
If a Ninja World War breaks out, the Rain Country will most likely not be able to stay out of it, since it is in such an awkward position, sandwiched between three major countries.
Sometimes even the Hidden Cloud Village has to come to the Rain Country to cause trouble.
Because there are too many choices here, you can go directly to Iwagakure by going north, you can go to Sandagakure by going southwest, and you can go to Konoha by going southeast.
This is really hard for the people of the Rain Country, they are really being blamed.
Although ninjas will not deliberately kill civilians, war is cruel. If a ninja encounters some civilians from an enemy country while injured, guess what he will do for his own safety.
"The big countries are always like that. They start wars for their own interests, and then talk about peace with a righteous look after the war. The small countries have no say in this at all..." Nagato began to prepare to talk about what he was going to do.
"You guys go out." The Grass Ninja leader temporarily interrupted Nagato's words and asked all his men behind him to go out.
Nagato thought about it and asked the Rain Ninjas behind him to leave.
"The Rain Village wants to establish an alliance with the Kusagakure Village to advance and retreat together. I hope that when the Rain Village fights against the big country, the Kusagakure Village can support the Rain Village." Pain said directly.
Seeing Pain being so direct, the Grass Ninja leader could only say that he was indeed a young man, and his directness made him envious.
He used to be a straightforward person, but as his position got higher, he became more cunning and his speech became more mysterious.
Although he had guessed this before, the Grass Ninja leader was still shocked when he heard Pain say with his own ears that he wanted to attack the Five Great Nations.
Although he has always wanted to replace the five major powers, he does not have the courage to say such words.
Those are the five major countries, those are the five major ninja villages. They only need to send out a team of elite ninjas to destroy a small ninja village.
"The Kusagakure Ninjas are also very indignant about what the five major nations have done and are willing to unite with the Rain Village, but we Kusagakure Ninjas do not have the strong strength of your village, so we may not be able to join the battlefield to help the Rain Village at the first time." The Kusagakure Ninja leader thought for a while and said.
He agreed, because this sudden peace was not in the interests of the Kusagakure ninja.
But the Kusagakure leader certainly doesn't want to take risks. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. It is better to be humble than to be hit hard by the five major countries.
So what the Grass Ninja leader was thinking was that if the Hidden Rain Village showed the strength to compete with the five major countries, then he would join in the fight.
If it is still just as serious as the Second Ninja World War, then of course we will pretend nothing happened. Anyway, the fate of the Hidden Rain Village that lost the war will definitely not be good, and they will not have the strength to retaliate against the Kusanagi.
