Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

But how did Chihiro know these things?

We are the same age...

As Kurama Yakumo was thinking, she became distracted and walked towards the Kurama clan on her own, completely forgetting that she was still holding some documents in her hands.

"Ms. Yakumo? Yakumo..."

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted." Kurama Yakumo trotted back and handed the documents in his hand to Shizune.

"Are you still thinking about your junior brother?" Jingyin asked.

Ever since the eldest daughter of the Kurama clan went to school, she has basically been running to the Senju clan whenever she has time. Although she often plays with Karin, sometimes she always looks at her junior brother unconsciously.

Jingyin couldn't say she was familiar with that kind of eyes, but they were definitely filled with an emotion called longing.

"No, it's not."

Kurama Yakumo shook his head, looking a little flustered and said hurriedly: "It's completely dark now, I'm leaving, Miss Shizune!"

After saying that, Shimokura Yakumo disappeared from Shizune's sight. Shizune smiled, her expression gradually became thoughtful, and she muttered softly; "It's great to be young!"

At the same time, Seto Chihiro and others who were far away in the Land of Rain rejected the kindness of Hanzo of the Salamander and found a random hotel to stay in.

The reason for their refusal was because that group of Rain Ninjas wanted to defeat them all the time in an attempt to regain the lost dignity of Salamander Hanzo. In their eyes, Hanzo's dignity was more important than their own lives.

Although Hanzo explained it many times, it still had no effect.

“I’m so tired today!”

As soon as Seto Chihiro entered the room, she threw herself onto the bed and closed her eyes comfortably.

Most of the buildings in the Rain Country are made of iron, and the weather is humid. Sleeping on the ground for a long time is not good for the body, because raised beds are a necessity of life in this country.

Jiraiya and Kakashi, who had just walked into the room, couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the scene in front of them.

But in the end, he kept silent, intending to let the little guy have a good rest.

At this moment, Seto Chihiro suddenly turned her head with an expression that said 'I've figured it out', and looked at the silent Hydrangea, then at Jiraiya.

"what happened?"

Jiraiya looked at Seto Chihiro blankly, wondering what this kid was thinking.

After all, this kid is quick to act. It was him who sparred with the Rain Ninja, it was him who defeated the Salamander Hanzo, and even healed Hanzo.

Although...

These things can be avoided.

"Nothing, I just feel that those eyes are more powerful than I thought. I wonder if I can be immune to the Sharingan's illusions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya and Kakashi in the room shook their heads at the same time. They certainly knew what this illusion of the Rangan was referring to.

"Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary." Jiraiya's face was extremely solemn, and he stopped it without thinking.

"That's right. These abilities are far from what Konoha's analysis team came up with. But since Hanzo was able to escape the scene safely, there must be a chance to crack it," Kakashi agreed.

Seto Chihiro nodded and did not mention anything about Kotoamatsukami again. Instead, she glanced at the system panel several times.

Looking at the tasks that were about to be completed, I felt a little happy and immediately clicked on the rewards I received today.

They returned to the room only after finishing their meal, and now was a good opportunity for them to learn the Water Teleportation Technique from Hanzo of the Salamander.

Chapter 15 Hanzo: I once again made a deal with the Hokage's assistant

In front of the government loft of the Rain Country.

The cold raindrops passed through the ends of his hair and slowly dripped onto the ground. Salamander Hanzo was in a complicated mood at this moment, and he looked at the group of Rain Ninjas with a serious expression.

The threat lurking in the Rain Country, which is destroying the peace between countries and attempting to take over this country, must be eliminated.

Only after all the remnants of Akatsuki are killed can he safely hand over the Rain Country to Kamida.

He will give his last bit of faith and give a thorough explanation to the ninjas of the Rain Country before leaving.

Konoha sent a new Hokage to assist Jiraiya, and the strength of the child named Seto Chihiro should not be underestimated. By then, he will definitely be able to wipe out the Akatsuki organization...

"Kantachi! Are these the Rain Ninjas in the Land of Rain who are still willing to follow me?"

Salamander Hanzo looked at the Rain Ninja in the audience and asked the Salamander Kanda.

All government affairs of the Rain Country in recent years have been handled by Shen Da. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 60 jonin, but there are only more than 30 people in the audience now.

"Master Hanzo! Do you need me to capture all those people?"

"This matter is my fault. If I hadn't lost my faith over the years, how could I have let them down? When you become the leader of the Rain Country in the future, you must not be like me."

"Master Hanzo, this is not your fault..."

"Shen Da, stop talking! This is a mistake I made in the past, and it's time to end it all!"

Without waiting for the Salamander Godart to finish, Hanzo turned to look at the Rain Ninja in the audience, took a deep breath, and prepared to tell about his mistakes over the years and prepare for his future fate.

“The end of life is not death, but the loss of one’s faith.”

"Perhaps many people are curious about why I have been living in seclusion in the attic for all these years. It is because I lost my faith in a battle and died several years ago. All that is left is an aging body. I stay in the attic all day long, indulging in money and luxury..."

As Hanzo's right-hand man, Salamander Kamada began to worship Hanzo since he heard the name Hakuzo. He regarded this man who protected the Rain Country as his lifelong goal.

Although he already knew the content of today's meeting, Shen Da still couldn't help feeling suffocated in his heart.

"But just yesterday, this body woke up again, urging me to fulfill my final mission!"

"I should have been asked to complete this mission during the Third Ninja World War, but due to various reasons, it was delayed until now."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, an organization called Akatsuki was born in the Land of Rain. Even I was shocked by their use of dialogue to resolve disputes."

"However, the leader of Akatsuki is called Yahiko. He brought the Rain Ninjas who joined him and used dirty means to murder the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. It was because of this incident that I learned the true face of Akatsuki..."

"They sing praises of peace on the surface, but secretly instigate wars in an attempt to control the Rain Kingdom."

"At the beginning, I reached an agreement with Shimura Danzo of the Land of Fire, intending to kill the leader of Akatsuki alone, and as for the deceived Rain Ninja, I planned to let them all go."

"But, unfortunately, that battle was lost."

When Hanzo Salamander thought back to the past, he felt a little uncomfortable. In that battle, only one person came back, and he survived like a deserter.

"this time..."

"The Hokage assistant of Konoha has appeared in the Rain Country again, and is once again with us to face the Akatsuki Organization! I ask all the Rain Ninjas to give me another chance to help search for the whereabouts of the Akatsuki Organization, so that I can completely eliminate this hidden danger hidden in the Rain Country!"

"The enemy is very powerful. Just report any suspicious areas you find. I and the ninjas of Konoha will then work together to eliminate this hidden danger!"

"At the same time, after this incident is over, I will end my position as the leader of the Rain Country, and Shen Da will be the new leader!"

This sentence was like a bomb, and the Rain Country Ninjas below instantly became excited.

"Master Hanzo! Please continue to serve as the leader of the Rain Country!"

"I am willing to stand with Master Hanzo!"

"I swear to believe in Hanzo-sama!"

Although Lord Hanzo has been staying in the attic for the past few years, enjoying the power of the leader all day long, in the eyes of these Rain Ninjas, this is what he deserves.

After all, without the Salamander Hanzo, there would be no Rain Kingdom today.

"..."

Seeing the excited Rain Ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander was touched. He turned his head and said solemnly: "Kantachi! The Rain Country is now in your hands. You must protect it!"

"Hanzo-sama!"

The Salamander Konda knelt on one knee, his tone revealing a heartfelt respect: "The leader of the Rain Country still needs you."

"Let's talk about it later, Kamada." Salamander Hanzo helped Kamada up.

There was no mandatory order, just like the last words of an old man.

Only he himself knows that his hand seal speed, physical fitness, and chakra are no longer as good as before.

If Jiraiya had not happened to come to the Land of Rain, he would probably still be immersed in the illusions of the past.

This time, he launched another attack on Akatsuki not only for himself, but also for the future of the Rain Country.

......

Not far from the government building.

Chihiro Seto, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Hydrangea watched the speech of Salamander Hanzo in silence.

Jiraiya and Kakashi looked at each other and frowned, not knowing what to say. Seeing things developing in a bad direction but being unable to stop it was really outrageous.

But now they have no way to tell the truth, otherwise they may need to guard against the attack of Rain Ninja.

"Now that we have Hanzo helping us, we should be able to find Nagato soon, right?"

Seto Chihiro sighed, not noticing the increasingly desperate looks of the two people behind her.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The Rain Ninjas in the distance were arranged in groups of three and dispersed in different directions. Salamander Hanzo stood in the heavy rain and looked up at the dim sky.

Seto Chihiro withdrew her gaze and took out a scroll from her arms, which contained some basic water-attribute ninjutsu.

"These are for you. You stay in the hotel for the time being. We still have tasks to complete. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me at any time in the evening."

"I..."

Hydrangea stretched out her hand subconsciously, then quickly retracted it after realizing what was happening.

It was not because she intended to deny the previous agreement, but out of her inner self-esteem, she refused to obtain the ninjutsu so easily.

At least let yourself show your own value...

"Can you let me stay with you? I can actually help!"

Chapter 16 Confession

"You want to come with us?"

Seto Chihiro glanced at Hydrangea and saw her stubborn expression, as if she would not accept the gift scroll unless she could go with them.

Although her chakra level reached that of a Chunin, all her talent was focused on summoning techniques. Coupled with long-term malnutrition and the strain on her body from refining chakra, she could only be said to have predicted her future in advance.

With such strength, it would be somewhat dangerous to follow them.

Hydrangea straightened up, looked at Seto Chihiro unconvinced, and whispered: "What's wrong? I'm very strong too."

Although she didn't know what Seto Chihiro was thinking, the reason for not letting her go must be related to her strength, and she also mastered unique ninjutsu.

Hydrangea took out a piece of paper and pointed it at the ground under the puzzled gazes of Jiraiya and Kakashi. A vortex of time and space appeared from the piece of paper, sucking the rain into the paper continuously.

This is an ability that Hydrangea discovered accidentally after learning to refine chakra. It can use a medium to absorb or release objects.

"This is my own perfected ninjutsu. Although I can only release some ninja tools now, I can still help you get some things... If you encounter danger, I will stand far away."

"Can you show me this paper?"

"Ok."

The piece of paper was only the size of a palm. Seto Chihiro took the paper and examined it. She found that the material of the paper was similar to the storage scroll, and there were obvious signs of polishing around it. It was obvious that it was cut from a scroll.

At this time, Jiraiya took the piece of paper from Seto Chihiro's hand, stroked it twice, and looked at the hydrangea with interest.

He really didn't expect that a little girl could actually study time and space ninjutsu. Although the function seemed relatively simple, in terms of talent, she was one in a thousand. Little did he know that there were only a few ninjas in the entire ninja world who were good at time and space ninjutsu.

He believed that the boy wanted Konoha to accept Hydrangea because he felt sympathy for the girl's situation.

For Konoha, taking in orphans is not without precedent. As long as the family background is clean, it's fine. But if it's a ninja, Konoha generally won't take him in unless he has special bloodstains. After all, there is no guarantee that an orphan with chakra will not be a spy sent by other villages.

However, given Tsunade's love for this kid, she would definitely meet all of his requests, so he agreed to Seto Chihiro's request.

But now it seems that this kid is lucky. For Hydrangea, who has the talent for space-time ninjutsu, becoming a ninja of Konoha can be said to be the best thing.

At the same time, Seto Chihiro walked up to Hydrangea and a huge spiral shuriken appeared in her hand: "Have you ever tried to absorb ninjutsu into a card and then release it?"

"Absorb and release ninjutsu?"

Hydrangea stared blankly at the 'shuriken' that was constantly gathering, and then reacted: "I think I can give it a try."

She took out another piece of white paper, and as chakra was injected into the paper, it began to generate a vortex of space and time, sucking in the Wind Style Rasenshuriken bit by bit.

But before three seconds had passed, the vortex of time and space disappeared from Hydrangea's hands.
