Chapter 85 Invitation
After obtaining the Rain Shadow Hat, the Salamander crew, whose spirit had been crushed by Izuna's sword, regained their confidence and planned to formally announce themselves as the First Rain Shadow at a later time.
The moment this decision was announced, the entire village of Amegakure was in an uproar.
The reason is simple: during the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo of the Salamander had reached the pinnacle of prestige in Amegakure. When he announced his intention to become the Amegakurekage, the entire village naturally supported him.
As for the attitudes of those big villages, who cares? In the eyes of the people, their Lord Hanzo is invincible.
Of course, within a village, there are those who are blindly fanatical, and there are also those who are clear-headed. They know that if their leader does this, they will inevitably be targeted by the five great ninja villages, and then Amegakure will be in trouble.
However, this small group of clear-headed people seem insignificant in the face of fervent public opinion. Without sufficient power, they are simply unable to resist the prevailing trend.
At Chiba Manor, by the river, Tetsuya and Izuna are fishing.
As usual, Yi Daqi brought a piece of intelligence, but along with the intelligence, there was also a beautifully framed invitation.
"Oh, there's something new this time?"
Tetsuya looked at the invitation in Ichidoki's hand with some surprise.
"Yes, boss. This is the tentacle monster's letter, and this is Hanzo the Salamander's invitation."
"Hanzo the Salamander's invitation?! Interesting, is this an invitation for me?"
Tetsuya accepted Kakuzu's letter and Hanzo's invitation.
While Tetsuya was examining the envelopes and invitations, Izuna handed his fish basket to Ichidoki.
One against seven stared wide-eyed at the sight of the full basket of fish.
Tetsuya opened the envelope and began to read.
In the letter, Kakuzu briefly explained what had happened in the Land of Rain. One of the key points was that, under Kakuzu's influence, the leadership of Amegakure had begun to indulge in extravagance.
At the same time, he handed over what Tetsuya had given him to Hanzo the Salamander, and this straw hat became the key to igniting Hanzo the Salamander's ambition, as Hanzo the Salamander planned to take up the position of Amekage.
"Interesting, is it Hanzo, the Salamander of the Rain Shadow?"
Tetsuya casually handed the letter to Izuna, who was interested, and opened the invitation.
Mr. Chiba, it is as if we have met in person.
Although I have never met Mr. Chiba, we have long admired each other. You are my confidant. In the vast ninja world, few understand my thoughts and desires, and you are one of them.
Although I am not talented, I am ambitious and dedicated to governing the country. I will cultivate land and raise troops, prepare for war, drive out foreign enemies, stabilize the country, and safeguard peace in the region.
Now that the country is stable and the people are prosperous, I intend to ascend to the position of Rain Shadow and deter all villains from all directions.
I cordially invite Mr. Chiba to attend this ceremony and witness this glorious moment in my life.
After reading the contents of the invitation, Zhe couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
"Why does Hanzo of the Salamander speak in such a refined manner? He doesn't seem like a warrior at all. It looks like someone else wrote it for him."
Izuna glanced at the contents of the invitation.
"That's normal. He's the leader of a ninja village, after all. He must have a few educated advisors around him. But judging from the quality of this invitation, I guess that salamander's advisors are just half-baked."
"Haha, so Izuna, you're quite knowledgeable in this area?"
"It's alright. Back in the Warring States period, when ninja clans officially clashed, there was a process of issuing a challenge. I usually wrote the challenge letters for our Uchiha clan. As for my brother, he just needed to fight with all his might."
"Hmm, that's great. As expected of Madara Uchiha's external brain."
Izuna didn't respond to Tetsuya's words, but instead put away his fishing rod and said...
"Then, it's time to head to the Land of Rain."
"That's right, how about we go together?"
"I am not interested."
Izuna shook his head.
"If I really go to the Land of Rain, I'm worried I won't be able to control myself and might stab that guy again."
"Okay, so what are you planning to do? Stay here alone?"
"Hmm, it's nice to be alone. It's a good opportunity to study those three forbidden scrolls."
Ever since Izuna learned that Tetsuya was not dead, he also became interested in those three volumes of forbidden techniques that could kill.
Tetsuya thought about it carefully and immediately imagined Izuna opening the Eight Gates, using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to summon the Susanoo army, and rushing up to blow up others with the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique.
I shuddered and shuddered. Good heavens, that was too violent! The scene was too gruesome to bear.
"Fine, whatever makes you happy."
Nagato and his two companions have been back in the Land of Rain for some time now, in this country that was once poor and impoverished.
However, since the Chiba Merchant Guild reached a cooperation agreement with Amegakure, the Land of Rain has changed quite a bit, and it took them some time to adapt to and understand the current Land of Rain.
The three of them used the seed money given to them by Tetsuya to buy a house as their residence.
Standing upstairs, the three looked down at Amegakure today. Although it was still wet everywhere, it seemed much more vibrant than the Amegakure they had seen before.
"As expected of a teacher, the arrival of the Chiba Trading Company has brought tremendous changes to this village and this country."
Xiao Nan couldn't help but sigh.
Nagato nodded.
"Yes, and what Mr. Kakuzu said back then was also right. All the problems of the Land of Rain in the past were ultimately due to its poverty. Now that it has money, everyone in the Land of Rain is gradually getting better."
Yahiko, on the other hand, seemed somewhat excited.
"Doesn't this further prove that what Tetsuya-sensei taught us is all useful and real? As long as we put all the skills that Tetsuya-sensei taught us into practice, we will be able to develop the Land of Rain even better and let everyone live a good life!"
Moreover, the Land of Rain is just the beginning. As long as the Land of Rain is well managed, we will be able to gradually influence the entire ninja world. At that time, the era of peace in the ninja world will come under our own efforts!
Nagato, Konan, isn't this what we've always longed for?! Now, the road to our ideal era has appeared before us!
"That's right, that's exactly it! The road to an ideal era has already appeared before us!"
Inspired by Yahiko, Nagato also became excited, and Konan smiled as she watched the two of them.
Yahiko stretched out his right hand and shouted.
Come on, let's work together!
The three people's hands were stacked together.
"Go! Go! Go!" *3
The three of them made up their minds to use the skills they had learned to change the ninja world.
The actions of the three were observed by a white creature.
"Oh my, the person Black Zetsu is looking for has finally appeared. I have to hurry and bring this news back. With news of these three people, Black Zetsu shouldn't be so irritable anymore."
White Zetsu slowly merged into the underground and left Amegakure.
