Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Rain Country, the pattering rain continues.

Konan stood by the window, watching the rain outside, a faint smile gracing her usually cold face.

Compared to her past self, this was truly a world of difference.

Nagato, sitting beside her, nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the scroll in his hand, then raised his head and smiled at Konan.

“What are you thinking about, so intently?”

Konan turned her head and smiled. “I was wondering, what would Yahiko think if he saw the Rain Country as it is now?”

“Although it still rains every day, everything here has changed, hasn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Nagato nodded, his gaze also turning to the window.

“Yes, the change is truly too great.”

The changes in the Rain Country were something they, as the actual managers of this country, were most aware of!

Since the water source transfer plan with Sunagakure, coordinated and negotiated by Hidekazu of Konoha, began two or three years ago...

Sunagakure has undergone considerable changes, and they have also gained unimaginable benefits.

A large amount of funds poured in, coupled with Konoha's preferential policies towards them, which allowed their village to develop.

Furthermore, because of the construction of pipelines, Konoha and they jointly employed many Rain Country residents, and this project also earned these people a lot of money.

With money comes development. Even though the Rain Country is still plagued by heavy rain, this rain is no longer a source of sorrow for the people of this country!

“However, Konoha's investment in those small countries they obtained from Sunagakure is too great.”

Nagato thought for a moment and continued, making Konan chuckle.

“Their development of those small countries is essentially for their own benefit, after all, they have completely extended their hands in and have no intention of leaving.

As for us, they haven't reached out, have they? Besides, we have also gained a lot of experience from their development of those small countries.”

“Yes.”

Nagato nodded, but he was somewhat envious in his heart.

“The development speed of those small countries seems to be even faster than ours.”

“After all, they have Konoha backing them, there's nothing to be surprised about.”

Konan knew what Nagato meant. He wasn't complaining that Konoha wasn't investing enough in them, but rather felt that his own development speed couldn't keep up with those small countries.

“We just need to take our time, don't think about chasing after them.

Our current life, the current life of the Rain Country's people, is already unimaginable compared to the past.

Don't underestimate ourselves, and don't deny our efforts, Nagato.”

Everyone being able to eat their fill is actually not a simple matter in any country.

Konan and the others had been rained on, so they naturally longed for the Rain Country to move forward in this direction. With Konoha's help, their situation was constantly improving.

They also believed that everything would be better in the future!

“I know, I'm just a little emotional, and a little unbelievable.”

Nagato smiled, looking at the pattering rain outside, truly a gift from heaven to them.

And also Zhiyua Hidekazu, without him, there probably wouldn't be the Rain Country of today!

“By the way, Konoha has invited us to this year's Chunin Exams. Should I appear as Hanzo?

And as you know, that Uchiha Obito has some bad intentions, we have to do something no matter what.

Besides, that guy seems to be more and more suspicious of us.”

“I've already discussed this matter with Pakura, she will remind Hidekazu.”

Konan gently shook her head and smiled. “Moreover, I'll lead the team this time, I have experience with this.

And you also need to deal with Uchiha Obito and the others to obtain more information.

If we divide the work well, there won't be any problems, will there?”

“Yes.”

Nagato nodded, then suddenly he was a little puzzled.

“Konan, why do I feel like you're looking forward to this mission?”

“Yes, I'm looking forward to it.”

Konan didn't deny it, her gaze turned to the window again, and accompanied by the pattering rain, she softly said.

“He has helped us so much, we should do something too.

Besides, everyone has been busy these years, and there hasn't been a chance to see each other properly.”

“How is the situation, Orochimaru?”

In a laboratory in Otogakure, in the Land of Rice Fields, Uchiha Obito looked at Orochimaru and asked in a low voice.

“Don't worry, there will be results soon.”

Orochimaru was not in a hurry, he licked his tongue and smiled.

However, his gaze also swept over the silent Uchiha Itachi beside him, and the smile on his face became even more brilliant.

“After all, you and Itachi-kun have promised me that you will give me Uchiha Sasuke's eyes when the time comes, so I have to work harder.”

“. . .”

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, but the hand hidden under his sleeve had already become stiff. Uchiha Obito was a little helpless, and he said.

“We will do what we promised you, just like this village, all the equipment inside, didn't we promise you and do it?”

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile when he heard this, without opening his mouth, Otogakure was something he started planning and preparing before leaving Konoha!

But it is undeniable that in the subsequent development, especially the high-speed development in the past three years, he couldn't do it without the help of Uchiha Obito and the others.

In short, whatever he wanted, Uchiha Obito would try to find a way.

Whether it was stealing, robbing, people, things, or any material, he got it!

As for the price he had to pay…

Actually, it's not really a price to pay; it's something he himself wanted to study carefully, or rather, to study in a different direction.

What he most yearned to study was the Sharingan, and Wood Release, as well as the secrets hidden behind them.

It's just that now it has become, reanimation of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!

Although…

He doesn't have an in-depth understanding of Impure World Reincarnation, but he doesn't mind giving it a good try.

"Alright, that should be about right."

Watching the wandering ninja in front of him, who had been implanted with some Hashirama Senju cells, 'fermenting' to the right degree, he quickly formed hand seals.

"Then, Ninjutsu · Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

In an instant, a strange summoning mark appeared beneath the wandering ninja.

Almost instantly, the wandering ninja let out a shrill scream, but this scream was quickly extinguished.

Countless paper scraps, as if from the Pure Land, quickly enveloped him completely, and his appearance began to undergo tremendous changes.

Before long, a man with long, brownish-black hair and wearing red armor appeared before them!

His eyes were tightly closed, but he possessed a unique chakra that made everyone understand that he was definitely not a simple character.

Moreover, no matter who present saw his face, they would involuntarily utter his name, because he was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!

"Did it succeed?"

Obito Uchiha looked at this man, and even though he could tell that this person didn't seem as strong as he had imagined.

He still couldn't help but feel a trace of threat, and he himself didn't know what was going on.

"First Hokage-sama…"

Itachi Uchiha's fist clenched even harder. He actually loathed everything that was happening before him, but for the sake of his younger brother, he had to endure it.

Moreover, the appearance of Hashirama Senju really made him see a glimmer of hope, but he quickly discovered the problem.

"Why does it feel like the First Hokage's aura is off? Orochimaru, did you fail?"

"Not a failure, but not a success either."

Orochimaru's eyes also narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"After all, this is the first attempt, and many problems need to be corrected. Fortunately, we still have some time.

But I also need your help. The First Hokage is currently facing two problems.

One is that if he is too strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to control him, and he will directly rebel and join the Leaf Village camp.

The other is that if he is too weak, I'm afraid he won't achieve the effect we want. We need to improve it properly during this time."

"That troublesome?"

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but frown when he heard this, this situation seemed to be more troublesome than he had imagined.

"That's normal. After all, if you want this kind of technique to be effective, it's impossible without some cost."

Orochimaru smiled indifferently, his gaze shifting from Hashirama Senju to Obito Uchiha.

"I heard that the Tsuchikage and Raikage will both provide some support this time, and the Kazekage is already prepared, right?"

"Yes, indeed."

Obito Uchiha nodded. The pressure from Shusawa Shihana was really too great.

Whether it was those large ninja villages, or Akatsuki, they were already feeling a bit of a headache because of Shusawa Shihana.

To put it bluntly, Shusawa Shihana almost 'forced' these large ninja villages in the ninja world to band together.

Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Konoha's ally, Sunagakure, have all chosen to cooperate in private, even with Akatsuki!

This kind of thing was unimaginable in the past, but this absurd scene actually unfolded.

"Alright, I understand. If there are any problems, tell me when the time comes. Tell me what you need.

I will try to help you solve them. Although this time is a test, we must at least have enough power to test their bottom line.

Especially, Shusawa Shihana's bottom line, he is too dangerous!"

"Don't worry, as long as there are enough materials, I can do a good job."

Orochimaru licked his lips, this answer really made him feel satisfied.

The main reason he hasn't chosen to leave now is probably because Obito Uchiha is really giving too much.

Of course, there are also some other factors in it, such as Shusawa Shihana almost blasting apart these so-called Mangekyo Sharingan.

This made Orochimaru's interest in Wood Release far exceed the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Moreover, this group of failures doesn't seem to lack Sharingan, even if they can't obtain the Mangekyo, he can still use ordinary Sharingan for research.

What's more, Itachi Uchiha, who killed his entire family, still has a younger brother, which would be a good material.

Therefore, he stayed here as a matter of course, with no intention of leaving.

"Besides, now someone is even helping me to carry out the attack on Konoha, so what reason do I have to leave?"

Orochimaru's gaze returned to Hashirama Senju, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and gently lick it.

He is also really curious, what level has Shusawa Shihana reached now?

Moreover, he heard that the current Hokage of Konoha is still his teacher, the Third Hokage, but in reality, many things have already been handed over to Tsunade to handle.

Since that's the case, he doesn't mind helping out.

Letting his old classmate, old friend, and old teammate truly sit on the Hokage's seat.

"You guys, you're really late."
