I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Other than that, nothing was gained.

Tailed beasts are the most sensitive beings in the ninja world. Even he must be careful now.

Caution means inefficiency.

But on the other hand, if it is a task for the village, it will be very convenient for him to complete it.

The Kingdom of Sichuan is the same as the Kingdom of Stone. The land is in a strip shape and is sandwiched between the two kingdoms of wind and fire. However, its natural environment is much better than that of the Kingdom of Stone.

The climate here is closer to that of the Fire Nation.

The ANBU who was attacked has recovered from his injuries. He described everything in detail at that time. Konoha Hidden Village has basically deduced the entire process of the attack on this ANBU team.

What Uchiha Shingen has to do is very simple. In this situation where the five major ninja villages are gathered together, the person who attacked Konoha ANBU must be found out.

It doesn't matter whether he is the real murderer or not, the person who did it cannot escape.

Several Anbu have died in Konoha, which means that Konoha's deterrence has declined, or that someone wants to test Konoha's reaction.

Danzo Shimura did a lot of bad things, but there was one thing he did right.

Any actions that may lead to the deterioration of Konoha's deterrence or are taken based on the deterioration of deterrence will be taken immediately to eliminate further possibilities.

Uchiha Shingen has finally influenced the direction of so many things, and to reach this point, he doesn't want to fall short.

Uchiha Shingen was not interested in the mountains and rivers of the Kawa Country. He followed the clues compiled by the ANBU and searched for them.

In the forest behind him, there were longing figures.

When approaching the scene of the ANBU attack, Uchiha Shingen finally turned around.

The forest behind him is silent.

"You are looking for death, so you can't blame me."

He pressed his hand on the ground, and the earth rumbled. Yellow sand rushed out from the earth, dyeing the forest yellow.

An entire primeval forest with deep roots and lush leaves was swallowed up by the sea of ​​sand.

When the trees were swallowed up, a figure jumped up, but was immediately caught by the sand rushing out of the sand sea, and was dragged in together with the trees.

Uchiha Shingen did not leave any trace of cleaning up the scene, leaving such a warning, he turned around and continued to the scene of the attack.

When he arrived at the scene, there was no one following him.

It was obvious that this place had been "cleaned", but what was even more obvious was that while the "cleaner" was being professional, it seemed that he had accidentally left flaws.

Uchiha Shingen said that if he was allowed to do it, he could do it more naturally.

He didn't have much interest in the evidence left by the other party.

Biting his finger, he used psychic skills.

An ordinary-looking red toad, about the size of a dog, appeared accompanied by white mist.

The toads of Miaomu Mountain are far more interested in non-combat areas than in combat areas.

If the toad in front of me were to fight, a genin could knock it off its butt with just one kick.

But if anyone can carry it to solve murder cases in the ninja world, it would be Kogoro Mouri in the ninja world.

You don’t have to do anything, just follow along.

This is a toad with chakra sensing.

Even if there is only a small amount of chakra left, it can still sense it.

It's more of a talent than a skill. The whole Miaomu Mountain is just a toad.

The red toad squatted on the spot for a while, then began to move northwest.

Uchiha Shingen was not in a hurry, he followed.

It's just that this journey takes a bit long.

Finally, when the toad finally stopped, what appeared in front of Uchiha Shingen was a city lined with towers.

The rain was freezing.

"Thank you, Heita." He said.

The red toad nodded at him, exploded a cloud of smoke, and went back to Mt. Miaomu.

Uchiha Shingen looked at the city ahead and felt that there was no surprise.

Dense chakra appeared before his eyes.

This is Yuyin Village.

The Ame Hidden Village did not have the barrier technology that could cover the entire ninja village until Nagato became their leader.

But Nagato's barrier technique was half-full, so he used a trick - the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

Uchiha Shingen walked towards the village.

He is not Jiraiya and does not need to infiltrate.

The environment and situation are completely different.

Walking into the range of the Rain Tiger's Free Technique, the surrounding area is basically filled with the color of chakra, reflecting another effect of the Rain Tiger's Free Technique.

But for Uchiha Shingen, it's not a big problem.

His careless appearance also attracted the attention of the rain ninja who guarded the rain hidden village.

When he walked to the door, a team of rain ninjas were already waiting here.

"Stop comers." The leader of the rain ninja made Shen Gongbao's standard action, "Please identify yourself."

"The person who came to ask questions." Uchiha Shingen approached, and these rain ninjas saw his face clearly, and all of them opened their eyes wide.

"Where are the people who attacked Konoha ANBU?"

"Sir Shingen, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. We are in alliance with Konoha. How can we attack and kill our allies? Please come in and let our leader explain to you in detail."

"Lead the way." Uchiha Shingen didn't care. He walked through the road made by the rain ninjas and walked into the rain hidden village.

Chapter 19 Goodbye Nagato

Nagato is the leader of Amegakure Village, which is no secret to the top leaders of the five ninja villages.

This kind of behavior where one person plays two roles can only deceive him for a while.

No matter what, there is Uchiha Shingen in Konoha.

Hanzo has always had a cooperative relationship with Konoha. Once Hanzo died, the connection was severed.

Is this okay?

The Land of Rain is such an important place. It was the Sandaime and Shimura Danzo's common opinion to support Hanzo in destroying Akatsuki. After that, Konoha has also maintained financial assistance to Raingakure.

The reason why Nagato could endure it for so long was because the Akatsuki organization lacked strength and was unwilling to confront Konoha Hidden Village.

It's just that Hanzo is getting more and more unsatisfactory, and his status in the eyes of the Hokage Building is getting lower and lower. From the beginning, I will kill anyone who threatens Hanzo, to a situation where Hanzo can't hold it anymore, and if he takes the initiative to ask for help, I will kill him. , and must show his affinity towards Konoha.

The Sandaime was also very sad about this. After all, he was an old guy of the same era as him, but he became like this bear as time went by.

During the Yondaime period, Konoha's attitude towards Amegakure Village was already bottom-line. Hanzo did not need to rule, but he had to be pro-Konoha.

When Hanzo's regular contact disappeared, Namikaze Minato did not hesitate and entrusted the situation to Uchiha Shingen, who took the initiative to ask for help.

Then, Uchiha Shingen, who thought he had a flexible bottom line but was regarded by outsiders as the representative of the Konoha martial arts faction, drove a thousand Konoha ninjas directly to the gate of Amegakure Village.

That was the second time Uchiha Shingen met Nagato since he snatched the Second Tails Brigade.

As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting.

The meeting between the two parties was very harmonious. They both highly praised each other's ninjutsu accomplishments. The rain ninjas and the Konoha ninjas hugged each other warmly in the heavy rain, expressing their longing for each other and fully reaching a consensus. .

Konoha and Amegakure have established diplomatic relations for decades and have a long-standing friendship. Now that I have just chosen a new leader, I came here to express my congratulations. I am deeply moved.

Nagato said that he was willing to work with the fourth generation team of Konoha to jointly plan a blueprint for the development of relations between the two villages. Uchiha Shingen even patted his chest and expressed his attitude generously, and would actively promote the cooperation and friendship between Konoha and Amegakure, and maintain relations with Amegakure. The tradition of brothers helping each other remains unchanged.

After that, the rain ninjas reluctantly bid farewell to the brothers from Konoha who came from afar. It was a joy to congratulate brothers and sisters.

That day, Nagato understood why Hanzo had the name of "demigod" but was willing to be the guard dog of the Third Hokage.

This has nothing to do with personal preferences or even political pursuits.

Amegakure is the strongest small village around Konoha, and Konoha is the strongest large village around Amegakure, that's it.

Today, Uchiha Shingen is here again. This is his second time coming to Amegakure Village.

This was the third time Nagato met Uchiha Shingen himself.

They hadn't seen each other for several years, but their spirits were completely different.

When the two met for the second time, Nagato, who had avenged his personal revenge, was somewhat relieved of some of the burdens in his heart. He was a little less sharp and a little more grand than before, because from now on he would only work hard for the great cause.

Now that we met again, Nagato looked a little more haggard.

He still had a firm pace and a straight waist.

Around the Kingdom of Rain, except for a ruined Kingdom of Stone, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. Each one is stronger than the other, and each one is more ruthless than the last.

Today's Nagato is the replica of Hanzo when he was young. He has achieved peace for the Land of Rain with his strong enough personal strength.

Uchiha Shingen can drive a thousand Konoha ninja troops to the gate of Amegakure Village, but that doesn't mean that others can.

Nagato may not be a qualified organizational leader at the beginning, but he is willing to learn. The most rare thing is that he returns to school without changing his original intention. The current Amegakure Village may be the most united village in the entire ninja world. , Nagato conquered Yugakure with strength, but what unites Yugakure is not force but personality.

Under his leadership, Yu Ren completely changed.

Nagato didn't come alone to see Uchiha Shingen, there was also Konan who was inseparable from him.

The two of them were sitting in a small reception room with relatively simple furniture, a small table, a few chairs, and cabinets for storing tea sets and tea leaves.

Where Uchiha Shingen is sitting, on the left is the door leading to the high platform outside the house, and on the right is the entrance to the room.

Xiaonan made tea for the two of them, then sat aside and remained silent.

Nagato sat opposite Uchiha Shingen. The teacups in front of them were filled with steam. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Nagato spoke first.

"Long time no see, Shingen-kun."

"Ame Hidden Village is developing quite well." Uchiha Shingen did not touch the tea, "Are you still wearing Akatsuki clothes?"

"There are some things that need to be done in the name of Akatsuki, which are conducive to the stability of Yugakure." Nagato said.

This is also the organizational character created by Nagato for Akatsuki.

The third-party ninja organization that exists to protect the peace of the Land of Rain is a collaborator of the Hidden Rain Village. Some things that are inconvenient for the Hidden Rain Village are entrusted to Akatsuki, and the demands of the Hidden Rain Village are also realized.

"Including attacking Konoha ANBU?" Uchiha Shingen actually didn't believe that Akatsuki or Amegakure did this.

At this stage, Nagato's purpose is still to ensure peace in the Land of Rain.

Akatsuki needs war to strengthen itself, but it will not be at the expense of peace in the Land of Rain.

Even if we want to start a war, we won't do it on our own doorstep.

"We didn't do it."

"But the traces of chakra left point to Yuyin Village. Words can deceive people, and evidence can be created. The traces of chakra are real."

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, changing day and night. This is a natural phenomenon.

Chakra traces are also there, they will be there after using them.

"Ame Hidden Village is different from the past. There will be many outsiders coming in and out." Nagato said.

He is also telling the truth.

Today's Yuyin Village is not dilapidated. The towers are built one after another. When night falls, the neon lights flash. The haggardness that has been ravaged by the war has retreated. The once dilapidated residences have become bright and can be seen from a distance.

Rain can't cover up the prosperity of this city.

This is Yahiko, Konan and his childhood wish, and now it has come true.

Nagato would never destroy this beautiful scenery.

"You are a ninja with chakra perception. You know that I am not lying, and your Yutora Freedom Technique is not in vain." Uchiha Shingen said, "If the murderer is not a member of Amegakure, then he once passed by Amegakure. Let’s be honest with each other, who is it?”

Nagato frowned.

He does know something.
