Naruto: Starting from the pursuit of Tsunade

As the four of them gradually went deeper into the Rain Country.

Yahiko and the other two frowned deeper and deeper. What kind of hell on earth was this?

The villages we passed through were almost uninhabited, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere.

The dilapidated houses and bridge holes, places where people could take shelter from the rain, were filled with ragged people.

There was no trace of life on people's faces, and their empty eyes were full of despair.

Even here there are still small armed forces trying to drive them away.

It was like driving cattle and sheep, and they didn't treat these refugees as human beings at all.

This is even worse than the situation when they left.

Xiaonan tried to go forward to help several times but was stopped.

Yahiko also sympathized with them, but he could save them temporarily, not forever.

Exposing oneself without reason is a big taboo.

"Why, haven't you seen it before?"

Kakuzu glanced at the three of them with a mocking look, thinking that they were still too young.

He has traveled to countless countries and witnessed too many tragedies.

These scenes couldn't touch him at all.

"Do you have any compassion?"

Xiaonan immediately retorted.

"Flowers in a greenhouse, this is not Konoha."

"Put away your ridiculous sympathy."

"War is the main theme of the ninja world."

Kakuzu sneered, sympathy is worthless in the face of war.

"you......"

Xiaonan was furious, but didn't know how to refute.

Having not experienced as much suffering as in the original work, she is still somewhat naive at this time.

"You're right, but we are not flowers in a greenhouse."

"Don't you want to know why we came to the Rain Country?"

"I can tell you now."

"We must personally end the war in the Rain Country and allow the people here to live and work in peace."

Yahiko stopped and faced Kakuzu.

"You guys in Konoha really have a big appetite."

Kakuzu didn't think this was a great ideal, it was just a means used by Konoha.

Those in power never care about the lives of ordinary people, they only care about their own interests.

"It doesn't matter if you have a big appetite or a small appetite."

"Wouldn't it be nice to end the war?"

If before he just wanted to complete Kawakaze's instructions, now Yahiko has his own impulses.

After all, this is their hometown and the place where their parents are buried.

"You guys are welcome to do whatever you want. I just want to make money."

"There should be quite a few prey with large bounties here."

Kakuzu avoided Yahiko's determined gaze and walked past him and continued forward.

Once upon a time, I seemed to have had such a look.

"We can do this."

Nagato patted Yahiko's shoulder, and they both felt the same way.

"Let's go, or your money bag will disappear."

Xiaonan pursed his lips, and Kakuzu had already walked a long way away.

The three of them smiled at each other and chased after him.

In fact, they were not worried about Kakuzu running away because that was not a wise choice.

At least for now, Kakuzu's strength is far from recovering to its peak.

When night fell, the four had not yet found a hotel to stay in.

As for a comfortable hot spring restaurant, it is even more of a luxury.

Today, there are absolutely no conditions for doing business in the Rain Country.

It is still a long way to the secret intelligence point.

"That's it."

"I'll go to the intelligence point tomorrow."

After finding a relatively secluded valley, Nagato made a few simple seals and a small mud house rose from the ground.

"I'm going to find some wood."

Kakuzu walked out of the house with a slightly tentative look in his eyes.

"Find more."

Unexpectedly, no one stopped him, and Yahiko even told him to find more.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"

Kakuzu stopped and couldn't help but ask.

Are they too naive or am I too complicated?

"You can try."

Nagato smiled a harmless smile, which made Kakuzu feel unsure.

This guy is the most difficult to deal with.

"I'm just kidding. I'll be right back."

Kakuzu hurriedly rushed into the rain and disappeared.

"Are you not afraid that he will run away?"

Xiaonan was worried about that private money from the bottom of his heart.

If it happened to me, what would it matter if Kakuzu ran away?

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to gamble."

After just a few days of getting along, Yahiko had almost figured out Kakuzu's personality.

This is also why he is suitable to be a commander.

"I'm here."

Nagato quickly built a stove with mud. His perception ability was no exaggeration.

"I knew you were the best, Nagato."

Rather than betting on human nature, Konan still believes in Nagato's strength.

The three of them worked for a while, preparing the ingredients and the pot and waiting for Kakuzu to come back with the wood.

It wasn't long before Kakuzu returned to the house with a large bundle of wet wood.

In the 'first confrontation', the three little ones won.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the rain gradually subsided and the four of them started galloping again.

Finally we arrived at the intelligence point before nightfall.

Following the hidden special marks, Nagato successfully found the message scroll in the tree hole.

When he opened the scroll, his hands shook unconsciously.

"Are you that excited?"

"If we really meet, you will faint."

Yahiko patted the back of Nagato's head and teased.

They all knew who left the message, but the person who left the message was kept in the dark.

Nagato ignored it until he saw the familiar handwriting, and then his hands calmed down.

After reading it, he put the scroll into his arms and took out the map to find the direction.

"Is it far?"

Xiaonan asked out loud.

"It's not far. We can get there in about a quarter of an hour."

Although Nagato tried hard to restrain himself, one could still hear the joy in his tone.

"Then let's go, what are you waiting for?"

Yahiko took the lead and ran towards the direction Nagato pointed.

He is so anxious about his brother's situation, so it would be good to see him a second earlier.

"Looks like he's an acquaintance."

The matter was already so obvious, how could Kakuzu not see it?

"none of your business?"

Xiaonan is still at odds with the person in charge of the money, and she feels uncomfortable unless she argues with Kakuzu.

"Did I talk to you?"

Kakuzu gradually felt that this little girl Qiqi was quite interesting.

It's a spice for a boring journey.

"Ah!!! I'm so mad."

Konan was still a little naive and was really pissed off by Kakuzu.

"Okay, just say a few words."

"He's a very important person."

Nagato's next words were a response to Kakuzu.

"I can see it, it should be a girl."

There is no word love in Kakuzu's dictionary, but that doesn't mean he has never experienced it.

"Ah."

Nagato responded softly, and Xiaonan jumped in anger.

Asshole Nagato, he didn't even speak up for me.

"It's a good thing, but the place is not very good."

The current environment in the Rain Country is indeed terrible, so Kakuzu's disgust is understandable.

“It’s a good place to see her.”

Nagato looked straight ahead, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

......

In less than a quarter of an hour, the four arrived at their destination.

This is a dilapidated village with only a few pedestrians around.

Perhaps because it is close to the territory of a powerful force, the situation here is slightly better.

At least you can see people living there, and there are no armed forces running around.
