Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 194 Yahiko and his two companions stroll through the new town

The land of rain.

New town.

Yahiko and his two companions entered through the entrance and looked around at the clean and tidy houses.

"It's so clean."

The Land of Rain has never seen such a scene before; it's been a long time since we've seen a city like this.

"It felt like nothing had happened."

Nagato said with a sorrowful expression.

Even Xiao Nan felt inexplicably sad.

The war took away their families.

Yahiko hugged the two of them tightly.

"Hehe, what are you thinking about? Let's have a good look around today!"

Yahiko put his arm around the two of them and walked forward. There weren't many pedestrians on the road, and although they were all very thin, they had a lot more smiles on their faces.

The new city has only been established for a short time, and many people are still not well taken care of.

The three of them strolled into the market.

Looking at the large fish on the stall, Yahiko couldn't help but lick his lips.

In the past, he would have definitely tried to take it back, but now that they are qualified ninjas, they don't need to do those things anymore.

"It's you."

The stall owner suddenly looked at Yahiko in surprise.

"It's you, boss." Yahiko chuckled awkwardly. Wasn't this the boss of the fishmonger he used to steal fish from at the market?

I didn't expect to run into you here.

"Would you like one?"

The boss was no longer as fierce as before, but rather more amiable.

"We have no money."

Yahiko shook his head. Jiraiya-sensei had always taken care of their meals, so there was no need to think of any other solutions.

"It's yours for the taking." The fish stall owner smiled and shook his head. "After all, it's rare to see someone like you who steals and then returns it."

"Hehe." Yahiko chuckled twice.

In order to become disciples of the Three Ninjas, they returned all the stolen items.

After all, they only stole it to survive, and they couldn't waste it if they didn't need it anymore. Besides, they also felt somewhat indebted.

"Take it."

The owner used a fishing net to collect the fish and handed it to Yahiko.

Yahiko accepted it without hesitation and responded politely.

"Thanks."

Although Jiraiya-sensei could bring them food, such fish were still rare.

"When you grow up, it would be best if you joined the army of the Land of Rain. There's plenty of food and drink there, and it's not dangerous."

The boss gave a reminder.

"The army of the Land of Rain?"

The three of them, Yahiko and his companions, were filled with questions and exchanged glances.

Does the Land of Rain have such a thing?

Seeing that the three didn't understand, the boss explained, "It was said to have been established to protect the Land of Rain, and many young people and children have joined it."

"I heard the food is pretty good, and they even give out money every month."

Although some people said that this money was due to domestic tax issues in the Land of Rain, they didn't find any taxes, and on the contrary, they felt that things were cheaper than before.

As the fish stall owner, he knew the answer.

Previously, the nobles collected taxes, taking as much as they could. Now, the Rain Kingdom only takes a symbolic amount.

It didn't have much of an impact on them.

Although they collected a lot more items, it still didn't add up to what those nobles collected in a single day.

"Is there really such a good thing?"

Isn't that stupid?

The three of them exchanged glances, all feeling the absurdity of the situation.

They did know about armies; many cities and noble families had armies, but those armies weren't very strong. They would run away quickly when they encountered ninjas, and they had never seen soldiers paid.

Isn't it just that when a nobleman gives an order, a group of farmers gather and become an army?

I've never heard of anyone giving you food and money at the same time.

"There's a recruitment office over there; you can go take a look."

The stall owner pointed to the end of the street.

Filled with doubt, the three of them headed towards the recruitment office, unable to fathom why the army would provide both money and food.

They had never heard of it before, and soon the three of them arrived at the so-called recruitment office.

I saw that the area in front of me was wrapped up in layers upon layers.

"How lively!" Yahiko looked at the scene in surprise. The noisy sounds gathered together, but instead of being jarring, they gave him a strange sense of peace.

The Land of Rain hasn't seen a scene like this in a long time.

"Quiet! Quiet down!" A man stood on the platform with a megaphone, silencing everyone.

"The Rain Army is now fully recruited! Only the Money Army is left. The Money Army requires that the person be physically able, no younger than twelve and no older than thirty."

At the sound of the man's voice, everyone stopped as if a pause button had been pressed.

Everyone's face showed a struggle, as if they wanted to sign up but were also terrified.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Yahiko pulled the adult next to him aside and asked curiously.

The man glanced down at the three children beside him and sighed, "You just arrived in the new city, right?"

Yahiko and the other two nodded.

"The two armies established in the new city are the Rain Army led by the demigod Hanzo and the Money Army led by the katakatsu-sama."

"However, the Rain Army has stricter requirements, making it difficult to get in, while the Money Army has much simpler requirements, yet many people have been killed by Lord Kakuzu for making mistakes."

"How could you do this?" Xiao Nan glared at the man angrily. "Why should I be killed for making a mistake?"

Even Yahiko frowned.

He hates people who kill indiscriminately.

But most importantly...

"Why would Lord Hanzo lead an army? And how can ninjas form an army alongside ordinary people?"

Wouldn't ordinary people then become a burden?

Yahiko looked puzzled.

The man looked Yahiko up and down.

"Didn't you know? The ninjas of the Land of Rain have become an army, and by joining the army, we can also have the same power as the ninjas." The man felt something was off and explained, "You should say we've become ninjas, just with a different name."

"How is that possible?" The three Yahikos looked at each other in disbelief. Didn't their teacher Jiraiya say that people without the talent to condense chakra cannot become ninjas?

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to have been done by the newly appointed Daimyo of the Land of Rain. Moreover, these armies were also formed by the Daimyo of the Land of Rain. Even Lord Hanzo was willing to give up his identity as a ninja for the sake of the Daimyo."

Of course, these are all just rumors.

"Didn't the daimyo abandon the Land of Rain?"

Yahiko and the other two felt their minds were in complete disarray.

"Yes, so he's newly appointed. I heard that Lord Kakuzu saved him by accident. Having witnessed the chaos in the Land of Rain, the new daimyo decided to build an army for the Land of Rain, just to protect it, like the Land of Iron."

The above are mostly speculations, but they are widely circulated in the new city.

The three children left the new city in a daze.

After all, the information received in a single day reconstructed the perceptions of the three individuals.

They didn't even have time to ask Qian Jun about the murder.

on the road.

Yahiko suddenly raised his fist and roared, "I've made up my mind!"

So what have you decided now?

Nagato and Konan looked at Yahiko.

"I've decided to join the military after graduating from Jiraiya-sensei, and then build an army to bring peace to the world."

"I've already thought of a name."

"Let's call him Xiaojun!"
