rock ninja log

Three years, how long can it last?

It took time for the companions to gradually forget the pain caused by Uehara's death, and it took time for the two orphans adopted by Uehara, Tachibana Michizuki and Tachibana Yutate, to become genin. Unfortunately, they failed the chunin exam.

It’s no big deal, just take the exam next year.

The companions in Uehara Village take good care of the two little devils. Although everyone is very busy, they often send them interesting toys and countless snacks, almost spoiling them rotten.

"It's not a big deal if you fail," Yako comforted the two brats like a big sister, "You are still young. You know, even Uehara only became a chuunin at the age of thirteen..."

When Uehara was mentioned inexplicably, Yazi felt bad again.

In the past three years, so many things have happened. Yako and Muranaka got married, and received many congratulatory gifts, including gifts from the daimyo, as well as those from Konoha Hyuga. Because of Hinata, Yako became the third Hokage.

All the congratulatory gifts were received.

For an ordinary chuunin, this is quite remarkable.

Feng Ga's efforts to compete with Feng Wroga for the head of the Feng Demon clan failed. He went to the Kingdom of Wind and found a well-known sand ninja puppet master to serve as a technical consultant there.

Well, the Scorpion of the Red Sand, this name was something that my companions heard mentioned by Uehara a little bit.

My companions in the village have received Elaeagnus jujube from the Kingdom of Wind several times, and it was from the Scorpion.

Except for the Elaeagnus angustifolia, the last thing sent was a letter, which was after Uehara was swallowed by the box. Without the recipient, the companions didn't know what to do with the letter, and in the end, they had to lock it on the desk in Uehara's bedroom.

After keeping it for three years, the envelope has already turned yellow.

Among the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village, except for the Five-Tails Jinchūriki who came back once during Kari and Mayi's wedding, there has been no news about him since.

The village took the opportunity to plan a secret arrest operation, but the operation ended in failure. The senior officials of Iwagakure Village underestimated the power of the Sharingan.

If we were to find the two Jinchūriki, Murasaki and Han, who seemed to have evaporated, only the Akatsuki in the future would be able to do it.

Speaking of Akatsuki, this organization that has gained a great reputation in the Land of Rain is not doing well. Under the orders of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha organized ten ninja schools in one fell swoop with great courage, one of which was the most top-secret one.

, it is the school established by Danzo to train killing machines and intelligence personnel.

In the turbulent, barren and weak Rain Country, the most indispensable thing is orphans who are homeless, have no identity and no one cares about them.

Danzo captured orphans to expand the student pool of the spy school and cultivate more tools.

The three of them, Nagato Yahiko and Konan, who began to grow up in the battle and blood and fire and swore to protect the Land of Rain, have become more and more mature and become more and more difficult for Danzo.

Since the confrontation between Akatsuki and Danzo, Danzo's minions were driven back from the Land of Rain by the Akatsuki for the first time.

Danzo's entire army was wiped out, including the seven jounin, more than twenty chuunin, and more than a hundred ninja trainees.

In the Land of Rain, continuous rain all day long and gloomy sky are the same as the fate of this country. The sun will never be seen.

In the dense forest, there is an abandoned camp at the root of Konoha, but now it belongs to the Akatsuki.

Black plastic body bags are neatly arranged in rows and rows. The violent rain falling on the body bags makes a crackling sound, falling on the leaves makes a pattering sound, and falling on the soil gradually makes a sound.

Whispering sound.

What should it feel like when rain falls in your eyes?

Yahiko raised his head and looked at the gray sky. The dense and elongated raindrops shot down one after another.

For the weak guys, grief doesn't mean much. The ceremony of silence for the dead companions was long ago, but no one could move it for a long time.

Half of the people died, and no one was happy.

Young Akatsuki, as young as their average age of less than sixteen, looks overwhelmed by the burden, but the bloody dawn clouds on the dark red robes represent more than just death.

Blood is the ultimate in red tones, and red is the ultimate in warm tones. The cold rain country is like a caged country under endless rain, and the blood-colored red clouds of Xiao are like a flame that cannot be extinguished.

"Nagato, fighting can't solve everything." His companions were also silent. Yahiko stretched out his hand to catch the rain, "War is just a continuation of politics."

"In addition to learning how to fight, we should also learn how to develop ourselves." Yahiko turned his head and looked at his companions with a smile. His face was very pale due to excessive blood loss, "There are more important things than teaching everyone ninjutsu and teaching everyone how to fight.

."

"However, there are still a quarter of children who cannot master ninjutsu. This is the most important thing at the moment." Xiaonan retorted. As a beautiful big sister, she has a natural affinity for the little ghosts, so she teaches the little ghosts.

Among the three companions, she took on the most responsibility.

Too many children have died, and she is the saddest one. It is very urgent to make more children stronger.

"We can't just rely on fighting to survive," Yahiko still shook his head stubbornly, "Sanshouyu Hanzo has already tried it once, and even he failed..."

"Yahiko, I hope this is an excuse for losing the will to continue fighting." That's what best friends are like. They say everything without reservation. If there are differences of opinion, it doesn't hurt to have a fight.

In fact, that's what Nagato and Yahiko did later.

Nagato thought Yahiko had said depressing words and hated him. Everyone couldn't do anything that Sansho Hanzo couldn't do. The Akatsuki were going to regard Sansho Hanzo as one of them who exceeded their goals.

As for Yahiko, he just wants to adjust the development of the Akatsuki. It is best not to have battles or anything like that happen again. The blood of the Akatsuki cannot be cheaper than the rain in the Land of Rain.

Neither of the two could convince the other for the time being, so they had a fight on a river. Xiaonan happily cheered for the two of them.

—

"Yahiko, you'd better convince me." Nagato pushed Yahiko into the water, raised his fist high, and then lowered it.

"There are only eternal interests, but no eternal friends, Nagato, have you heard of this sentence?"

This sentence? Nagato frowned and realized that he had never heard such a bastard's words before. He punched Yahiko into the water.

This is the ninja world.

Nagato was very angry when Yahiko said such bastard words, and he doubted whether Yahiko would betray everyone.

"Don't look at me like that," Yahiko climbed out of the river and threw the scroll to Nagato with a smile, "I didn't say such a bastard thing."

The Akatsuki are in short supply of supplies, and there are not many scrolls either. What can Yahiko properly preserve in the scrolls?

"Ninja Diary..."

The latest issue of the Ninja Diary, I don’t know who caused the topic, is about analyzing the Second Ninja War. The Iwa Ninja and Konoha declared war, but they united with Konoha to attack the Cloud Ninja because of the chakra cannon set up by the Kumo Ninja at the border of Earth Country.

.

A certain Iwa Ninja kid who was in the second grade of junior high school said that he should first seize the Kumo Ninja's chakra cannon and then use the chakra cannon to destroy the Kumo Ninja. This was the most appropriate method at that time.

This triggered an unprecedented debate in Iwagakure.

Kari discovered in the manuscript left by Uehara, "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." He himself had heard this sentence said by Uehara, so he was impressed by it.

The Third Tsuchikage thought that Kari had such a thorough understanding of politics, and was quite pleased.

"I'm thinking that protecting the Kingdom of Rain does not require us to rely solely on ourselves," Yahiko said firmly under the tree, "Now that I think about it, Konoha has too many enemies. However, we also have many enemies. It seems...

…There are so many enemies that are unnecessary.”

"Do you have a solution?" In "Ninja Diary", there were too many lengthy exchanges of words in the air, and Nagato became interested.

"Not yet."

"However, I think the core is the word profit."

"Benefits?" Nagato seemed to be interested, and he motioned for Yahiko to continue.

"Ninjas or villages who have had hatred against Konoha, they hope that we can cause more trouble to Konoha, right? Iwa ninja Kumo ninja Kiri ninja are the same, fighting Danzo, these may be a help."

"Speaking of which, we have ambushed the Kumo ninja team several times, right?" Yahiko frowned.

"That's right." Nagato nodded, "But we left no traces."

"This kind of battle doesn't have to happen at all."

"But, they have already reached the vicinity of our base."

"Then knock them out and send them back!" Yahiko smashed his fist, "The strategy will change in the future. We will start to contact the outside world and establish relationships with as many other ninja villages as possible."

"Also, we can take over the ninja mission."

Having said this, Yahiko himself felt a headache.

The Rain Ninja under Sansho Hanzo are somewhat famous in the ninja world, but the Akatsuki have not yet fully entered the ninja world stage.

How should we undertake the mission? Should we bear the name of Yu Ren? But in this case, the meaning of forming Yu Ren will be lost.

The idea is interesting, but how to implement it is difficult.

The members of Xiaozhong joined in and started discussing.

"Well, here's the question." The rain in the sky turned into ink at some point, and the ink disappeared in a flash. "If Xiaozhong is compared to a product that has no reputation and wants to sell itself, how about comparing Xiaozhong to a product that has no reputation and wants to sell itself?

How to do it?"

It's Hei Yu, he disappeared for so long and then came back.

"There are many ways."

"First, do a good job in publicity."

"Do you know the method of publicity?"

In unison, a large group of children shook their heads in confusion.

"Have you ever seen the most common commercial advertisement?" Heiyu said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, there was another wave of shaking heads in response.

What has happened to the Kingdom of Rain? Commercial activities have long since disappeared.

"Okay, what if there is a newly opened flower shop in a certain town in the Land of Fire, but many people don't know there is a flower shop there?" Heiyu was very hungry, and he gnawed.

While eating dry food, he observed the ignorant children.

"We can go tell them." This is the method given by Yahiko.

"How to tell?" Heiyu sneered. "He walked over and grabbed every passerby and said, "We have opened a new flower shop. Do you want to come and have a look? It's very rude."

"We won't be so rude," Yahiko refused to admit defeat, "I will bow!"

"Pfft!" Heiyu burst out laughing, "Even if you bow and disturb me on my way, I will still be bored."

"In terms of commercial advertising, first of all, the lowest cost is flyers and the like. Printing products, offers, activities, discounts and the like on paper..." Heiyu, his brother is now a Wutong bomber.

The manager of the chicken shop branch.

As Kuroyu's only top line, Hara died, and no one in Iwagakure knew that he was an intelligence agent. Not many people purely liked killing Kuroyu who ran his brother's fried chicken restaurant. Kuroyu wanted to give up his identity as a ninja, so he rushed to help.

Just fine.

Kuroyame completed Uehara's mission brilliantly, and he got close to the three Nagatos before Akatsuki was formed. Gradually, in addition to being responsible for monitoring them at all times, he actually developed an inseparable friendship with Akatsuki.

"However, this method is not suitable for ninja hiring missions."

"The best way is to sign contracts with the famous names of various countries. But this is too difficult for you."

"Alternatively, it would be useful to go to a magazine or something, preferably a business magazine."

It is almost pitiful that the three people who lead the Akatsuki, Nagato Yahiko and Konan, hardly understand how to use diplomacy to gain a chance for survival. Regarding organizational development, there is no one to teach them how to do it.

The only experience I had was gained with the blood of my companions. Because I encountered an ambush, I began to form an intelligence team within the organization. Because there were rebellious personnel, I had no choice but to establish a censorship method full of loopholes.

Because excellent companions often died, a rough selection mechanism was established, and so on.

Jiraiya taught the three Nagatos all the skills they need to be excellent ninjas. However, for how to form a huge organization and maintain its good development, ninja skills are far from enough. What's more, they have to

Protect the entire Kingdom of Rain.

Responsibilities far exceed abilities, which can easily lead to tragedy.

Strength is the simplest and most direct way to rely on. When you see your companion die, the easiest way is to work hard to improve yourself and hone a more powerful ninjutsu. If your companion dies again, then work harder and learn a more powerful ninjutsu. In the end

, there is a high probability that you will take the wrong path for the sake of strength.

It would be unfair for the three Nagatos who have never even seen the ramen shop advertisement to compare them with Namikaze Minato who has the best Ichiraku ramen in the ninja world at his door.

Even without Madara and Obito, due to the limited growth environment, Nagato and the other three would probably be just another Sansho Hanzo. They are powerful enough, but not powerful enough to become a code that can change the balance of the scale, so they can only do nothing.

…

"You said that there is no way to find a suitable employer. Well...sending personnel to investigate is quite satisfactory. I don't think it is good."

“If there are no employers, create them.”

"For example, you just need to find a super rich guy, and then pretend to be a rebel and pose a threat to him."

"Then, as Xiaozhong... no, you can't go directly to the door to provide help. If you let him encounter you accidentally, then he will entrust you to protect him..."

The three of them, Nagato, looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Then... what if the other party is a kind-hearted rich man? This idea was rejected by the three of them as soon as it came up. In the ninja world, there may be rich good people, but there are definitely many rich bastards.

—

The Akatsuki were about to go out, and a messenger gave Sansho Hanzo a commission agreement, asking them to pay attention to Konoha's movements and beware of ninjas infiltrating Konoha.

When a large box of mixed coins from various villages with blood stains on them was placed in front of Sanshouyu Hanzo, I didn't know what he should think.

At first, he only drank alcohol. For a strict and self-disciplined ninja, drinking was rare and unbridled. But from time to time, Sanshouyu Hanzo would get himself drunk from time to time, maybe because he was old.

Sanshouyu Hanzo may be dead, but for the time being, he still has the name of demigod.

Ninjas don't care who entrusts them.

Without dispatching other rain ninjas, Sanshouyu Hanzo went to the Fire Country with a bottle of sake, destroyed three of the Fire Country's root bases, and pulled out two outposts.

Okay, the mission is completed, there will be no ninjas infiltrating Konoha for the time being.

When he returned, he had not yet finished the bottle of sake.

Sarutobi could no longer turn a blind eye to the turmoil on the border and the resulting diplomatic disputes. He had to ask Danzo to restrain himself.

-

The cool and cool Xiaozhong started to take jobs, and they were cautious. They only took a small job.

An unscrupulous businessman who manufactures psychotropic drugs entrusted Xiaozhong.

"Okay, is that all?" Yahiko pulled out a list of items from the trembling merchant's hands, "C-level mission, three hundred of us Akatsuki people will escort you to the Kingdom of Waves, commission is 100,000, right?"

There was a sound of swallowing saliva obviously out of fear. The businessman with a sly look looked at the group of ninjas in the "Ninja Mountain and Ninja Sea" and stammered, "No... no problem!"

It's just a box of medicine, divided into small boxes. There are so many ninjas that one person can't divide a small box...

In short, this unscrupulous businessman had a very strange experience, as if he, as Erha, were protected by three hundred tigers and escorted the bones snatched from the mouths of ants.

Nagato and the others learned about commercial promotions.

Xiaozhong has investigated this wretched businessman. He is just the last link in a large underground organization, and Xiaozhong needs the resource network behind him.

This businessman must have regretted it. If he had known that there were so many ninjas to protect him, he would have hired them to hack the boss to death, and then hack the boss's boss to death.

After this time, there were rumors in the industry that there was a conscientious ninja organization. It was just a C-level commission worth 100,000 yuan, and they sent hundreds of ninjas to protect it.

Someone tried to see if there were really such cheap ninjas, but it was two hundred thousand, and there were not three hundred ninjas, just one hundred.

After a while, it became a B-level commission of 500,000 yuan, and the other party sent fifty ninjas.

Xiaonan is not in the commissioned task, he has another task.

Paper was turned into two wings, and Xiaonan flew in the sky, passing over a town, and countless pieces of paper fell down.

With the ability to control paper, you can even save printing costs.

The advertisement on the simple leaflet is no different from the small advertisement such as undertaking waxing of aircraft carriers and polishing of mobile phone films.

Later, Xiaonan, who transformed into a messenger of justice, and another team of companions received a mission to find a lost child, and a mission to help an old man pull out his car after it fell off a cliff.

Commission received.

Xiao's predicament has completely opened up a new situation. The basic source of funds has been established, and the pressure to endure food and medicine has been reduced. From now on, Xiao can continue to grow.
