Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

The land of rain.

The rain fell in torrents.

Sixty kilometers outside Yuyin Village, on a stone bridge over a huge lake.

Yahiko and his friends met with Salamander Hanzo.

The dripping rain flowed across their faces as the young Akatsuki leader Yahiko and the salamander Hanzo representing the Hidden Rain Village looked at each other, with a huge salamander sitting behind Hanzo.

“What an amazing young man!”

Under the mask, Salamander Hanzo made a sound of admiration.

As this was the first time the two sides met, he was surprised by the immaturity of these Akatsuki members.

He somewhat unexpectedly extended his hand.

Yahiko was stunned at first, but then he stretched out his hand tentatively.

The two sides held hands together.

The things that worried everyone in Akatsuki did not happen, and everything was peaceful.

Yahiko also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Greetings, Master Hanzo!"

Of course you have to act the whole thing, said Salamander Hanzo coldly.

"Little ghost, I believe you should know what I mean. What is your choice?"

Although Yahiko can be naive at times, he is relatively calm when it comes to everyone.

"If we can make a contribution to the peace of this world, our Akatsuki organization will naturally take the lead!"

"Then I can save myself some time talking. It's stupid to stand here. Let's go over there and talk!"

"Ok!"

--------------------------------

In a village in the Land of Rain.

As time passed, the two sides talked for a long time about this cooperation.

Hanzo of the Salamander also discovered the innocence and hope for peace shown by Yahiko, which made him see his former self and made him suddenly feel a little regretful, perhaps he had done something wrong.

If this kid in front of him could really join the Hidden Rain Village and be trained by him personally, perhaps he would really become a leader who could lead the Hidden Rain Village onto a new path.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Well, here's the last question. I heard that you are familiar with the Kazekage of the Sand Village?"

Yahiko was stunned, but then spoke honestly.

"No... I just met Mr. Luo Sha a few times by chance. I can't say I'm familiar with him."

A gleam of light flashed in Hanzo's eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Are you sure you can convince the Kazekage? Judging from the strength shown by the Kazekage now, it won't be easy to get him to participate in the Five Kage Tournament."

Yahiko was not sure either, so he could only say.

"I'll try my best!"

"I see. That's the end of today's conversation. We'll keep in touch once you have the results."

"Okay! Then, we'll take our leave, Master Hanzo!"

Under the drizzling rain, Salamander Hanzo looked at the figures of Yahiko and others who disappeared in the rain with a complicated look.

"What a shame. Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Master Hanzo, we have already set up an ambush on their way back. We have also captured the female ninja named Konan, and the ninjas of Konoha have also killed all the members of the Akatsuki organization who came to support them."

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Hanzo snorted coldly.

At this point, he finally understood why that guy named Danzo suddenly became interested in their Rain Country. In addition to undermining the reputation of the new Hokage and preventing the Five Kage Conference, he also wanted to take revenge on the Kaze Kage.

However, Hanzo didn't care. After all, he had come this far and there was no turning back.

"Get ready to do it!"

------------------

On the way back to the Akatsuki base.

The members of Akatsuki organization showed happy smiles on their faces, which was rare.

Before they came again, they did have a lot of concerns, especially after receiving Luo Sha's reminder, but the whole process was much easier than they thought. The former demigod: Salamander Hanzo, was also easier to talk to than they imagined.

"You are indeed someone I once respected!"

Yahiko thought of this, looked at Nagato beside him, and said happily.

"Nagato, the peace we have been pursuing for so long finally sees a glimmer of hope!"

Seeing Yahiko so happy, the young Nagato also showed a smile on his face.

The people in the Akatsuki organization following behind him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I return this time, I will go to the Sand Village myself. I will try my best to convince Mr. Luosha."

But at this moment, suddenly, a huge sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

His eyes noticed the sparks rising from the ground.

Yahiko's pupils shrank sharply, and at the same time, he shouted loudly.

"careful!"

Yahiko's reminder was timely, but it was too late.

The smooth progress of this meeting allowed Akatsuki and his group to completely relax their vigilance.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Violent explosions were heard throughout the valley, and smoke filled the entire valley. After the explosions, the attacks did not stop for a long time, and kunai fell from the sky.

It was not until everything was over and Yahiko, who was in the center of the trap and under the protection of Nagato, could see everything around him clearly.

"what happened?"

All the companions who followed them were seen with mutilated bodies and fell to the ground with kunai stuck in their bodies.

Those wide-open eyes seemed to express their unwillingness.

Nagato, who was protecting Yahiko, revealed his ripple-like Rinnegan at this moment and watched everything in fear.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from all directions. Yahiko turned his head and saw the ninjas surrounding them and the one leading them, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village whom he had just met not long ago: Hanzo Salamander!

"What!??"

At this moment, Yahiko's eyes were filled with disbelief, anger and pain.

They were talking so happily just now, why did he suddenly kill them?

Is this their real plan?

Salamander Hanzo, who was standing in front of everyone, said this with a cold expression.

"Why? If I have to give a reason, there is only one: Rain Country does not need any Akatsuki organization. To me, your existence is too much of a hindrance."

"!!!"

Yahiko and the others understood.

"In other words, all the conversations just now were fake? For the peace of the Hidden Rain Village..."

"Of course, that was just a show to make you relax your vigilance, kid, you are too naive. Do you really think that you can change this hateful ninja world by yourself? Don't be ridiculous. For the five major countries, our Rain Country is just a tool they will think of when they want to use it. Even if the Five Kage Conference is held this time, nothing can be changed."

Yahiko gritted his teeth tightly.

Why, the long-awaited peace is right before our eyes, but now it has become nothing.

But Yahiko had no time to feel unwilling and sad, because the appearance of a figure made his face change drastically.

His beloved Konan was captured by the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village and appeared in front of him.

"Yahiko, run away, don't worry about me, Hanzo and Konoha have joined forces, Yuusuke and Daibutsu, and everyone else..."

In the drizzling rain, tears mixed with rain flowed down. Yahiko, who understood Konan's words, his pupils shrank and his face turned pale. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

But Hanzo didn't give them time to chat, and a kunai flew in front of them.

"The red-haired guy over there, use that to kill Yahiko, and then I will let this woman go with you..."
