Konoha: Naruto from Sekiro

Chapter 55 The Kingdom of Rain

Rain country.

A country with extreme bad luck.

At the same time, it is bordered by the three big countries, the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind.

Whether it was the first Ninja World War or the second Ninja World War, they were all reduced to the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, the country's climate is perennially cloudy and rainy. It borders on the southwest, and the country of wind, which is full of yellow sand, is completely two extremes.

The particularity of the climate has led to a serious shortage of grain production in the Land of Rain. Coupled with the frequent disasters of the ninjas of the Three Kingdoms, the few farming opportunities are even rarer.

The ninjas of the three major kingdoms would naturally ignore this, and the consequences would naturally fall on the residents of the Land of Rain.

Poverty, hunger, skinny, half-clothed, hopeless for the future...

Any words that symbolize suffering can be applied to the residents of the Land of Rain without being abrupt.

Holding an umbrella, Naruto walked slowly through a town. Numbness, helplessness, and emptiness were the unified expressions of everyone here.

Robbery and robbery in the street happen all the time.

The strong wield their knives at the stronger ones, and the weak wield their knives at the weaker ones.

Years of wars have caused the society of the Land of Rain to lose its most basic order.

When being bullied by ninjas from other countries, some people bowed their knees and endured silently; some broke out in silence and sacrificed their precious lives for their own country and their loved ones.

And this kind of behavior, in the eyes of humble people, is so ridiculous;

Perhaps it was the heroic feats performed by these heroic people that deeply hurt their humble and ridiculous self-esteem.

These kneeling people, on the contrary, intensified their oppression of their compatriots. What they did was worse and more cruel than the 'invaders' they did.

In a dark alleyway, a thin, yellow-faced woman was dragged into the darkness by two young hooligans.

The people around seemed to be used to it for a long time, they just glanced silently, then withdrew their gaze, and continued to be busy with their livelihood.

And it seems that the woman who was dragged in was not the first time to encounter this kind of suffering. Although she struggled, it was more helpless and painful.

"Do you need help?"

At the entrance of the alleyway, a boy in an open-chested kimono asked the woman softly.

"... Hurry up." Instead of showing the slightest expression of excitement, the woman shook her head frantically, urging him with a hoarse voice.

Those who fall into darkness will especially cherish the light that shines on her body through layers of dark clouds.

The green ruffians looked at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

In the chaotic country of rain, clean and tidy clothes are to some extent a symbol of status and strength.

If they dare to punch the strong, how can they be street thugs.

"Understood." Naruto nodded slightly, slowly closed the umbrella, took a few steps, and walked in front of the two young ruffians.

Although he was the one looking up, but for some reason, it was the two youths who kept retreating.

Or maybe, they felt the aura that belonged to the strong in this boy.

"To be honest, I look down on you guys."

The moment the voice fell, Naruto's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the figures of the two green ruffians flew out suddenly, as if they were hit hard by a chariot moving at high speed, and hit the walls on both sides heavily above.

After a slight pause, it slowly slid down the wall.

The woman looked at this scene and looked at him excitedly, "Are you, Master Ninja of the Light of Dawn?"

"No, I'm just a passer-by." Naruto helped her up, shaking his head slightly.

The Light of Dawn, also known as the Akatsuki Organization, is a resistance army that emerged as the times require when it is dissatisfied with the inaction of Yuren Village under the oppression of ninjas from the three major nations.

In the eyes of most people in the Land of Rain, the ninja of the Light of Dawn is the light of hope that is about to lift the dark clouds that hang over the Land of Rain.

"Thank you." The woman bowed and thanked.

Naruto opened the umbrella again, looked her up and down, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"The country of birds." The woman rolled up her hair between her foreheads.

"Can I ask what you used to do?" Naruto asked, the woman's words and deeds were not like ordinary women.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it." Handed her the umbrella.

"My mother used to be a shrine maiden." The woman said, putting an umbrella over the heads of the two of them.

"Really." Naruto nodded slightly, without asking too much, leaned over and took out the money from the two young ruffians.

Pass the money to the woman.

"I don't need it." The woman shook her head and refused.

"Although it's not much, it's enough for you to live for a while." Naruto put the things in her hands.

Long-term lack of nutrition has brought her body to the brink of collapse.

Compared with him, the effect of this money on women is obviously greater.

Money, for him, is enough, too much is a waste.

What he longs for, ordinary money cannot buy.

"Thank you." After much hesitation, the woman accepted it and bowed again in thanks.

"I can take you to the next town."

Looking out of the alleyway, those wolf-like peeping gazes, Naruto suggested to the woman.

"Excuse me."

Obviously, she also understands that she can no longer survive in this town.

"May I ask, where are you going?"

"Go to 'Light of Dawn'."

……

"……so what have you thought of?"

The young Shimura Danzo, looking at the masked samurai not far away, asked.

"Yes." The samurai stared into his eyes, and nodded slowly after a while.

"With the right choice, the future of the Kingdom of Rain will continue in your hands."

"The information about the 'Akatsuki Organization' will be sent to you one after another." Shimura Danzo nodded in satisfaction, got up and left, with a comfortable gesture, as if he was the master here.

But the surrounding Urenin, including Sanshoyu Hanzo, who was sitting in the main seat, turned a blind eye to this.

In this regard, Shimura Danzo seems to have expected it.

In terms of strength, both of them are not enough to beat the demigod Sanshoyu Hanzo. After all, the leader of the Urenin village is the only one who has been honored as a god after the first Hokage.

It is precisely because of his existence that the Country of Rain and the Village of Rain Ninja were able to maintain the situation that was on the verge of fragmentation in the face of repeated devastation by the three major powers.

But it's also a pity that he was doomed not to become a real 'god' due to his origin in a small country.

Even if Sanshoyu Hanzo is strong, so what, in today's ninja world, even if personal force is strong, it can only be placed second.

The strength of the whole, the strength of Ninja Village, is the real strength.

As long as Sanshoyu Hanzo dares to attack him now, Konoha's ninjas will dare to attack the city tomorrow.

One ninja can't beat him, ten ninjas can't beat him, what about a hundred?How about a thousand?
Today's Yuren can exist more because it is just a tasteless piece of chicken rib, a piece of tasteless food that is a pity to throw away, and it is not worth the three big ninja villages to spend too much time on it.

The reason why the three major powers chose to open up their battlefields in the Land of Rain was not because of its "abundant" resources, but simply because the Land of Rain was more suitable than other options.

If the Kingdom of Rain remained neutral as before, Danzo would not appear here.

But it is a pity that the recently active "Akatsuki Organization" in the Land of Rain has greatly hindered Konoha's interests in the Land of Rain.

Even the actions of the 'Xiao Organization', in the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain, are just.

But in Danzo's view, as long as Konoha's interests are blocked, it must be eliminated.

As for the so-called 'justice', that is something that only the victors are qualified to write.
