Naruto’s Hidden Shadow Snake

"What happened just now?"

Three boys and girls came out of the rain curtain. The leading boy had eye-catching orange-red hair and looked like a leading brother. He looked very sunny.

Following behind was a purple-haired girl with a plain umbrella, with a delicate appearance and a white paper flower on her head.

"People here seem to be very vigilant."

The girl shielded the orange-haired boy from the rain. If you look carefully, you will find that the umbrella is also made of paper, but it is not afraid of water at all.

"I haven't been back for a long time, three years have passed in a flash..."

The last boy had the same eye-catching long dark red hair, covered one eye, and looked at the people in a hurry around him with the other purple magical eyes.

These three people are Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato three years later. After finishing their cohabitation practice with Jiraiya, they come into contact with the outside world again, but find that the situation in this country is different from what they imagined... .

This is the core of the Rain Kingdom, Urenin Village, which Hanzo had rebuilt three years ago. came here.

Along the way, the three found that the country was not peaceful and was still poor and backward.

They thought that Urenin Village, where Hanzo was in charge, would be different, but everything in front of them still disappointed them greatly.

"Tch! I remember that Hanzo defeated the ninjas of the Five Great Nations and became the ruler of the Land of Rain. I didn't expect this place to be so bad!"

Yahiko frowned and looked at the streets where the liver was filthy. People were walking with their heads down, looking lifeless.

It stands to reason that although the land and earth conditions in the Land of Rain are a bit bad, most crops are difficult to grow, and floods often occur.

But sandwiched between several major countries, with the guarantee of peace and independence, such a location has great trade value, which is equivalent to a special transit point.

As long as you do some transactions and tasks between big countries, you should be able to become prosperous.

At the very least, they shouldn't be poor, just like those remote and small countries without military protection.

It's just that when the three of them looked at the sparse upper bunks along the street, many of them were actually upper bunks with the logo of the Land of Fire, and occasionally caravans from other countries could be seen.

It is common to see gorgeously dressed Fire Nation businessmen and even ninjas on the street, all of them proud.

However, the people from the Land of Rain avoided it and did not dare to provoke and make trouble at all. Yahiko even saw someone accidentally bumping into a wealthy businessman from the Land of Fire. The businessman apologized.

"Damn! How unreasonable!"

Yahiko was furious, "Is this the so-called Land of Rain? It's a shame!"

Although the former Land of Rain became a buffer zone for great power wars, the forces of Rain Ninja at that time fought against each other and were unanimously hostile to outsiders.

They have cultivated ninjas who are good at assassination. Although the assassination ninjas in Wuying Village are strong, they have also killed many ninjas from the five major countries alone. Therefore, people like Danzo appeared and raised the banner of the revival of the rain country. With the strength, you can pull up a huge army in an instant.

Under the leadership of Hanzo, the rain ninjas won the victory with a large number of people.

But now, the Kingdom of Rain has won status and peace, but in the eyes of the three, it looks like a lifeless, humble slave who has lost his vitality!

Especially... minions from the Nation of Fire?

"I think there must be something wrong!"

The three of them looked at each other and disappeared at the same time.

half an hour later...

"Damn it! Hanzo would make such a stupid decision!"

"boom!"

In a noisy tavern,

Maitreya slammed his fist on the table angrily, panting violently.

After their investigation, they learned that the reason why the country of rain is like this is entirely the result of Hanzo's agreement with Konoha's cooperation agreement.

Three years ago, Hanzo and the Konoha Elders signed a cooperation agreement, and then the Kingdom of Rain opened up trade, allowing Konoha to set up factories and mines, and at the same time hire its own ninjas to serve Konoha.

Soon, the fragile local economy of the Land of Rain collapsed, completely becoming a dumping ground for the Land of Fire.

All the resources of the Land of Rain were purchased cheaply by Konoha, and the people became Konoha's cheap labor force, so it was naturally miserable.

As for the benefits that Hanzo obtained through this "traitorous" method, it is said that they all fell into his own pockets, used to attract a large number of rain ninjas, firmly consolidate his dictatorship, and at the same time better squeeze other people and attack everything Rebels.

In the end, the economy of the Land of Rain collapsed completely, and even many resource areas were labeled as the Land of Fire.

Without the war, a large number of civilians are still displaced. People from the Kingdom of Fire stepped forward to "support" the Kingdom of Rain, and then more blatantly controlled the lifeline of the Kingdom of Rain.

It even established a Konoha Academy of Sciences. The ninjas in it are said to be from Konoha, and they can arrest the ninjas or civilians they fancy without any restraint. Urenin will never interfere!

The strange thing is that everyone knows about the ambition of the Fire Nation, but Hanzo seems to be unable to see it, and instead experiences cooperation.

In the past, the Kingdom of Thunder wanted to continue to help the Kingdom of Rain to attack the Kingdom of Fire under the banner of the Kingdom of Rain, sending troops to the Kingdom of Rain, and taking the opportunity to take a share of the pie.

What surprised people was that Hanzo and Konoha teamed up to deal with these people, making Raikage furious and yelling at Hanzo for being crazy.

Of course, on the surface, the Kingdom of Rain will also cooperate with other countries in general, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Konoha is basically the "master" of the Kingdom of Rain, and has "privileges", and it is just normal cooperation with other countries.

In the Land of Rain, even the commoners of Konoha are the same as the uncle.

"I can't believe it. We were still very optimistic about this guy back then. I didn't expect..."

Nagato sat in the corner, the dim light in the tavern swallowed him, only one purple eye could be seen.

"Don't you find it strange? Why did Hanzo do this, what did Konoha promise him, or is there something unspeakable about Master Hanzo?"

Xiaonan wondered, "I always feel that things are not easy. Do you still remember the 'Fire Viper' Ye Long who was said to have made an agreement with Hanzo first? I think there is something wrong with this person!"

"Hehe, who knows, that viper is still a dead snake, I must see this bastard to look good when I see him!"

Yahiko waved his fists and said angrily, not knowing that they had actually met each other a long time ago.

He glanced at the wine glass on the table. He came here only to collect information, and ordered the cheapest glass of wine to prevent the waiter from driving them away.

At this time, Yahiko, who was in a terrible mood, took it directly and gulped it down.

"Yahiko, how can you drink alcohol?!"

Shocked, Xiaonan snatched the wine glass, only to find that Yahiko had basically finished drinking it.

"Bah! Is this kind of thing really for people to drink?" Yahiko blushed and cursed.

"We are ninjas now, Mr. Jiraiya told us not to drink alcohol." Nagato whispered in the corner.

"Hi... You said Mr. Ziraiya?"

Yahiko was stunned for a moment, and hiccupped, "Hehe, Jiraiya-sensei usually drinks a lot... hiccup!"

Bitter wine entered his throat and made his heart ache, thinking of Jiraiya who spent three years together day and night, taught them all skills, and protected them when they grew up, Yahiko gradually fell silent.

Jilai is also the most grateful person in their life, allowing them to come into contact with the world of ninjas. His behavior changed the three people's views on Konoha's ninjas, and even Nagato gradually let go of his inner hatred.

Because he believes in the concept of Jiraiya, even if the reality is dark, he can create peace through his own efforts.

One day everyone can understand each other, then there will be no more wars in the world, and the hatred in the past will be resolved.

But... the Kingdom of Rain is also peaceful today. Is this really the peace he dreamed of? Is it really the beautiful world Mr. Jiraiya described to him?

There are no longer large-scale wars in the Land of Rain, and the five major countries no longer invade easily, but the people here look lifeless.

Those who were completely defeated by the economic means of the Fire Nation, and finally displaced, their expressions of lovelessness, in Nagato's view, looked like walking dead.

This kind of peace, compared with the vigorous and epic war that the people of the Land of Rain stubbornly resisted the invasion of a big country three years ago, why can’t I see the slightest light, only darkness and despair?

Nagato remained silent, and the peace that Jiraiya said seemed to be correct, but the "peace" before his eyes was so false and disgusting.

Looking at these insensitive Urenin and the hideous-faced exploiters of the Nation of Fire, Nagato inexplicably had the idea of ​​tearing it apart with war and violence...

"What are we going to do next?"

Xiao Nan looked at the two who fell into silence and said helplessly.

Even if they have learned a whole body of skills and are full of praise from Zilai, they still have to eat.

Once Yahiko's idea was to become a ninja and use his own power to change the country, defeat the invaders, and even conquer the world.

However, now that the war is over, Xiaonan is unwilling to say that everyone will become Urenin.

She knew that it was impossible for Yahiko to agree, and even she herself was unwilling to be a subordinate of Hanzo like that, and become his running dog to squeeze the country!

But... how to live without being a ninja?

They don't seem to have any skills other than their talents as ninjas!

Then do petty theft? Or rely on the strength of ninjas to work as laborers? Or, like ordinary people, rely on the money Jiraiya left them to do some small business to make ends meet, and spend their lives as mercenaries in those caravans?

No kidding! How is this possible?!

In this chaotic country, which powerful ninja can still live like an ordinary person?

Don't say I'm sorry for my own strength, but also I'm sorry for the kindness of Teacher Jiraiya's teaching!

So what to do? All three were in trouble.

Even if you do business, you will be ruined by the merchants of the country of fire. If you want to be a caravan guard, you don't have to think about the disgusting faces of the merchants of the country of fire.

"Damn! Why is this happening?!"

Yahiko smashed the table angrily again, his eyes were full of anger, even Nagato was extremely irritable.

In the past three years, everyone knew that his talent was terrifying, and Zilai also placed high hopes on him.

Only after I came out did I realize that the times have changed, but my own abilities have not been developed...

"screw you!"

Maybe because he was drinking, Yahiko smashed the wine glass with a punch.

In the end, no one expected that the wine glass drew a wonderful arc and landed impartially on the feet of the people at the other table in the distance.

"Damn it, it's someone who doesn't have eyesight throwing things around, scaring me!"

In the distance, a man who looked like a ball stood up abruptly, his huge belly rattled against the floor, and the width and height were not much different by visual inspection.

"brush--"

This fat man seemed to have some identity, and the four tough guys beside him stood up at the same time, looking around fiercely, with Konoha Ninja's forehead guard on their foreheads.

In an instant, the noisy tavern became quiet. Someone recognized this as a wealthy businessman from the Land of Fire, and Yu Ren would be polite when he saw it.

What bad luck!

The three secretly murmured that something was wrong, Yahiko also bowed his head and remained silent.

Fortunately, several people looked in the direction of the wine glasses flying over. There were many people in the tavern, and they were all sitting in the corner.

But unexpectedly, the fat rich businessman was taken aback and felt very upset. He pointed at a man next to their table and said, "This troublemaker dares to attack me, you go and deal with him!"

"brush--"

The two Konoha ninjas acting as bodyguards jumped up in an instant, and in the panic and screams of the crowd, they pressed the drunk and unlucky ghost and beat them violently.

"Ahhh!"

The others hurriedly dispersed, watching the unlucky ghost scream again and again, but no one spoke up for him.

It is said that some people are indifferent and insensitive in their eyes!

"Hmph, this is the fate of offending me, Miduo!"

The rich merchants of the Land of Fire were extremely proud, but the faces of Yahiko and the others were hideously terrifying.

"What happened?"

After all, this is Yuren Village, and it is a place like a tavern. Two Yuren soon appeared at the door.

But after seeing the rich businessman and the four Konoha ninjas, the two turned their heads and left without saying a word.

"Hahaha! Hit me to death!"

The rich businessman was even more proud of this, and Konoha Ninja hit harder!

The four of them are actually ninjas, and they are also the kind of cannon fodder in Konoha, but they came here to make money because of the cooperation between the Kingdom of the Rain and Konoha.

In the Land of Rain, Konoha ninjas seem to have received special treatment. Although they don't know it too well, they will naturally understand after staying for a long time.

In the Land of Fire, ninjas cannot attack civilians, and they will be severely punished if they are found out, but in the Land of Rain, the rain ninjas don’t care about themselves, who will care about them?
