Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"Wow......"

Hydrangea had never seen such a scene before, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears. It would have been fine if she was killed by the ninja from another village, but the fact that the other party also insulted the Rain Country was really unbearable for her.

"I won't allow you to insult the Rain Country like this. I'll run farther away before I die this time!"

Hydrangea finally lowered her voice, with a hint of despair and begging in it.

"I insulted the Rain Country?"

Seto Chihiro repeated, with a half-smile on her face: "Aren't you the one who has been insulting the Rain Country?"

"you!"

"What are you!"

Seto Chihiro snorted coldly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Haven't you always regarded the Rain Country as the one that needs charity? Isn't it because Hanzo Salamander challenged the surrounding countries at the same time that the Rain Country was dragged into the war? I never intended to give you charity, it's just what you always think."

"It was you, Konoha, who set up a war zone in the Rain Country and killed the civilians in the zone. Isn't that what it is?"

"Where did you learn all this?"

"These are things that are well known in the Rain Country."

"Then why did Konoha set up a war zone in the Land of Rain?"

"I……"

The hydrangeas were silent.

Why did Konoha start a war in the Land of Rain?

"Can't you answer that?"

Seto Chihiro continued, "If it wasn't for Salamander Hanzo who directly started the Second Ninja World War, do you think Konoha would have been able to set up a war zone in the Land of Rain?"

"But...if Konoha didn't force the Rain Country to invade it, why would that guy named Salamander Hanzo start a war against Konoha?"

Hydrangea also quickly found the loophole in the problem and spoke in an aggressive tone.

"Hehe, you can't answer me, right? I knew that ninjas from big countries like you are just that despicable!... Wait, what do you mean by that look?"

As Hydrangea was talking, she felt Seto Chihiro looking at her as if she were a fool, which made her so angry that she even bit her lip without realizing it.

"You asked a very good question, but I'm sorry, Konoha may have restricted the Rain Country in some aspects, but it has never intended to invade the Rain Country."

Hydrangea gnashed her teeth, her already angry heart becoming even more furious.

Seto Chihiro thought for a moment, untied the vines on Hydrangea, looked at the latter and said, "You may not believe this, but this is the history of the ninja world. The Fire Nation, except for not lending a helping hand to the Whirlpool Nation during the war, has never had any plans to invade. In the first, second, and third ninja world wars, they were basically passive participants."

This statement is true. Konoha's Will of Fire was influenced by Hashirama Senju. Almost all successive Hokage have never invaded other ninja villages. On the contrary, the fertile land of the Land of Fire has been coveted by other ninja villages.

Even during Sarutobi Hiruzen's reign, even if they won a foreign war and became the victor, they would not ask for supplies from the defeated country. This was also a continuation of Hashirama Senju's desire for peace, but it just seemed a bit stupid.

"You're lying!"

Hydrangea didn't quite believe it. She yelled, "As a big country, how could Konoha not exploit small countries!"

Seto Chihiro shook her head and continued to speak patiently: "When Senju Hashirama established the ninja village, he established a relationship with the daimyo of the big country. The big country needs to provide the ninja village with economic support, and the ninja village needs to protect the safety of the big country. Ninjas usually complete missions to earn cash, and killing people at will will be rejected by the same village. As for the exploitation you mentioned, it is actually more of the merchants from various countries who make money from the national disaster, set up gambling houses, and traffic people. They are the ones who make the Rain Country worse."

"..."

Hydrangea couldn't believe what she heard. She stood there in a daze with her lips slightly parted.

Jiraiya on the side widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

You know, the hatred between countries is very complicated, and there are all kinds of prejudices among the people. Even he can't guarantee that he can convince the girl with purple hair.

But this kid...seems to have actually done it!

I must tell Tsunade everything I heard today!

Maybe a second Senju Hashirama will appear in the ninja world!

Jiraiya was very excited. He even suspected that this little brat might be the reincarnation of the first Hokage. The way he looked at and thought about problems was something that even some jonin could never think of so carefully. The most important thing was that he didn't even think of using force to oppress.

"Humph!"

After a long silence, Hydrangea's momentum began to disappear. Although she felt that what the other party said was right, it did not mean that she agreed with the other party.

"Even so, it's still related to the great power. You are using the funds of the Fire Nation. You are all birds of a feather."

"You're right, we are indeed birds of a feather."

"..."

The anger in Hydrangea's heart rose again. It was a waste of her time to believe in the one-sided words of a ninja from a great country.

"But... even among these birds of a feather, there are many different beings, just like you who are hunted by the Rain Ninja but still love the Rain Country. As a ninja of Konoha, I also hate gambling and human trafficking. In order for the ninja world to usher in true peace, I am willing to take action for it."

"..."

Not only did this guy admit it, but...

Hydrangea couldn't believe every word she heard.

"Do you think I will believe you if you say that? You must be lying to me!"

Although Hydrangea still looked like she was lying to her, her tone and expression were not as firm as before.

"I'm lying to you?"

Seto Chihiro smiled with a veiled smile: "You didn't believe what I said from the beginning, did you?"

"I..." Hydrangea was speechless.

"Actually, if you want to see if I'm lying, there's a very simple way to tell if I'm lying. Do you dare to try it?"

"How dare I not."

Hydrangea made up her mind to expose the lies of this Konoha ninja.

Of course, it wouldn't be a loss if she wasn't exposed.

For Hydrangea, who was born in the Land of Rain, if there is really someone who can bring peace to the ninja world, then the Land of Rain might also usher in sunshine.

"What on earth is the method you are talking about?"

"It's very simple. That is, you will stay by my side in the future and witness with your own eyes the peace that comes to the ninja world!" Seto Chihiro spoke each word clearly, fearing that Hydrangea might not hear clearly.

Things had developed to this point, and Jiraiya didn't quite understand why it had turned out this way, so he could only stand aside quietly.

The room also became quiet after Seto Chihiro said this. Apart from the sound of rain outside the window, there could also be heard the sound of banging next door.

After a few seconds, Hydrangea raised her head and said, "I can promise you, but how can you guarantee that everything you say is true? And why should I believe that you can bring peace to the ninja world!"

Seto Chihiro seemed to have thought of the answer long ago, and immediately said: "In the next period of time, we will go to meet with Hanzo of the Salamander, and then I can guarantee the authenticity of what I said. After returning to Konoha, I will meet with the Hokage and conduct a series of training for you. What do you think of this?"

"..."

Hydrangea remained silent.

It’s not that she was dissatisfied with the conditions, but it was precisely because the conditions were too satisfactory that she was at a loss. Her heart was shocked beyond words at this moment.

Could it be that I have some unknown secret? !

Am I a genius?

Or does this group of Konoha ninjas want to kidnap and sell her?

Salamander Hanzo...

Although Hydrangea had no idea about the origins of this group of people in front of her, she had heard of the name of Hanzo of the Salamander. These people were definitely not unknown people as they tried their best to protect the Rain Country from the attack of a big country and were able to meet a figure like Hanzo!

Besides...

She was also somewhat concerned about whether it was this Salamander Hanzo who provoked the war between several countries in the Rain Kingdom.

After Hydrangea figured it out, she no longer hesitated: "I promise you!"

Seto Chihiro raised the corner of her mouth, not caring at all about the confusion on Jiraiya's face.

For him, it is either not doing it or doing it well. The order of the new world will never allow the products of the old era to remain in this world.

All he paid was a few promises, but what he received was indeed a person who was good at psychic communication.

With his current strength, it is more than enough for him to teach Hydrangea in ninjutsu.

Chapter 9 Seto Chihiro: Demigods look down on orphans?

The next morning, it was drizzling.

After breakfast, Seto Chihiro followed Jiraiya to visit the demigod of the ninja world.

Jiraiya and Kakashi didn't say anything about the Hydrangea incident, and under Kakashi's interrogation, the three men explained why they were chasing her.

Since the end of the Third World War, Hanzo Salamander has not appeared in people's sight, except for occasionally recruiting some ninjas to act as guards so that the ninjas of the Rain Country believe that he is not dead.

In this situation, both the Rain Ninja who became Hanzo's guard and those who did not became guards, all became among the strongest in the Rain Country. Bullying the weak and exploiting ninjas who were weaker than them had become the norm in the Rain Country. On the surface, Hanzo the Salamander was still the ruler of the Rain Country, but large and small jonin groups had made this country a mess.

In the blink of an eye, Seto Chihiro and her group arrived in front of a unique building. Before they could inform the guard, a group of Rain Ninjas surrounded them.

The leading Rain Ninja was a Chunin, holding a harpoon covered in blood, and looking at them warily.

"Who are you!"

"We are Konoha's ninjas, and we submitted a request for Konoha to form an alliance with the Rain Country a few days ago."

"Alliance? Everyone, put down your weapons for the time being!"

The leader obviously knew that there were some things that were beyond his control. After telling the people around him to keep an eye on them, he turned and walked into the building.

The waiting time was undoubtedly long. Seto Chihiro simply looked towards the building, observing the outer structure while sensing the situation inside.

He discovered that there was a ninja on the top of the building, whose chakra was slightly less than Jiraiya's. This must be the chakra of Hanzo of the Salamander himself.

Although Hanzo of the Salamander fought against three ninjas alone at the beginning, he was in his prime, which was equivalent to the peak period of his life. In the final analysis, the title of demigod was still a bit watered down.

With Jiraiya's current strength and the antidote, he is sure to win.

"I guess you are Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas. Hanzo-sama has been waiting for you in the attic."

At this moment, a large number of figures suddenly emerged from above, and a ninja with a scar on his face walked out with a stiff smile.

Jiraiya was not angry because the other party emphasized the matter of the Three Ninjas. Instead, Kakashi, who was standing aside, handed over the document representing his identity.

So the Rain Ninja took the document carefully, and after looking at it for a few times, his brows frowned slightly, and his eyes kept wandering between Hydrangea and Seto Chihiro: "Jiraiya, Kakashi, Seto Chihiro... Hmm? Why are there four of you?"

Jiraiya glanced at Seto Chihiro, and after seeing the latter's apologetic eyes, he said helplessly: "This little girl is called Hydrangea. She is an orphan we took in from the Rain Country. She is from the Rain Country and poses no threat."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, should we say that you are worthy of being a ninja from a great country? You are so compassionate that you would even want to save an orphan on the street. There are so many orphans in the Rain Country, why don't you save them all? I need to ask Master Hanzo about this matter."

Seto Chihiro looked at the departing figure of Rain Ninja and felt a little nervous: "Thank you, Master Jiraiya."

Jiraiya waved his hand, his face full of sarcasm: "No need to say thank you, you should comfort your girlfriend! Oh, it's good to be young!"

Seto Chihiro nodded, thinking that now that she was powerful enough, she would find an opportunity in the future to show Jiraiya off.

If it was Orochimaru who was standing here just now, that Rain Ninja would definitely be dead.

While he was thinking, the Rain Ninja walked out of the house again with five clearly visible handprints on his face.

"This orphan cannot go in. Master Hanzo is not someone that anyone can meet!"

When the surrounding Rain Ninjas heard this, they all showed unkindness and hostility. It was very difficult for them to meet Lord Hanzo, let alone a little orphan.

Kakashi's brows furrowed involuntarily as he analyzed the current situation: "There are only three of our names in the letter, and there is really nothing we can do if these Rain Ninjas refuse to let us in. Why don't I create a clone to protect her."

"Use a clone to protect her?"

Seto Chihiro glanced at Hydrangea.

The latter's face was full of humiliation, and he looked at the group of Rain Ninjas in front of him with resentment.

"You still remember our request, right? I will prove that what I said is true, but you must stay by my side in the future and witness the peace of the ninja world."

"I......"

Hydrangea clenched her fists and looked at the contemptuous eyes of the rain ninjas around her. She wiped her tears, and then her tears connected into a line like a relay. She sniffed her sore nose and finally burst into tears in grievance.

She is not just any nobody, she can also sacrifice her life for the Rain Kingdom.
