Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

This is perhaps the tragedy of small countries?

For the sake of the country and the village's development, Hanzo the Salamander ultimately declared war on three countries simultaneously.

In this great battle, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru joined forces to fight against Hanzo of the Salamander, earning them the title of "Konoha's Three Legendary Sannin".

It must be said that Hanzo the Salamander is indeed quite powerful. Not only did he dare to declare war on three countries at the same time, but he was also able to suppress their combined attack single-handedly.

Even though Tsunade and the other two are still in the growth stage, Hanzo's strength is undeniable.

Lianye only knew the general plot of the ninja world storyline, and wasn't very clear about some specific details.

In his memory, Hanzo of the Salamander was not bad in the early stages, but later, due to old age and changes in mentality, he listened to Danzo's instigation and chose to suppress the Akatsuki organization, which led to the death of the Akatsuki leader Yahiko. He was eventually killed by Pain, who was controlled by Nagato.

"Why go to the Land of Rain?" Scarface frowned, somewhat displeased.

As is well known, the Land of Rain is a country where it rains all year round and the environment is very humid.

Such an environment is not very friendly to a cat; its fur will get soaked by the rain, turning it into a drenched cat...

Other smaller cats are fine; they can perch on a human's shoulder.

Scar's size is similar to that of a large dog, making it impossible for a human to hold it like other cats.

Seeing the fat cat's reluctant expression, Lian Ye smiled and comforted him, "I'll buy you a raincoat later."

"Is there really a need to travel in such a backward environment?" Scarface muttered to himself, but could only reluctantly agree.

Who told Lord Madara to already give the mission?

Moreover, it also hopes to eat delicious food every day by the chef's side.

For a delicious grilled fish, getting a little rainwater on it is no big deal; it can shake itself off with a couple of shakes.

And so, the man and the cat set off for the Land of Rain.

While urinating, Scarface relayed information to Madara Uchiha: "Lord Madara, that kid Renya is planning a trip to the Land of Rain. I'll contact you then."

Lian Ye witnessed the whole thing from a short distance away, but could only turn her face away and pretend she knew nothing.

Good guy, really good guy!

This fat cat didn't take him seriously at all. Is it not even going to act like an informant anymore?

If he dared to imitate Fat Cat—passing a message to Uchiha Madara in front of Senju Tobirama—he would immediately be chopped into mincemeat by the enraged Senju Tobirama.

If it weren't for Ban's sake, this fat cat would have been chased away long ago.

"Kid, did you just see that?" Scarface's eyes narrowed into slits as he saw Lian Ye not far away.

It then belatedly realized that it had been a bit too loud.

So what? If you have a problem, just go find Lord Madara!

As Lord Madara's right-hand man, it made such a serious oversight.

It seems that this was because Lianye bribed me with grilled fish during this period. This situation must never happen again.

Its owner is Uchiha Madara, not the cook in front of you!

At least that's how it is now...

"No, I didn't see it." Lian Ye adhered to the principle of avoiding trouble and was too lazy to argue with a fat cat.

Since Madara Uchiha had Scarface monitor him, it meant he hadn't given up on recruiting him. He believed that Madara would invite him to join the "Eye of the Moon" plan the next time he came.

In this way, Danzo Shimura and the others will be out of danger.

"That would be best, meow." Scar nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself that this kid was quite sensible.

Thankfully, Lianye didn't go to Lord Ban to complain, otherwise its cat life would have been over.

If Lord Ban knew, he would definitely think it was more trouble than it was worth. He would then choose to use other cats instead of his capable assistant.

To prevent this from happening, the only option is to threaten the kid into shutting up.

Lianye stared at the fat cat with some suspicion, suddenly wondering what Madara Uchiha's purpose was in doing this.

If you really want to monitor him, why send this stupid cat?

If Lianye couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, Madara Uchiha wouldn't attack him.

Perhaps they were just bored; that's not impossible...

Inside the cave.

"Ban, why did you send Scarface out?"

Hashirama Senju looked at Madara with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he wanted Scarface to follow Renya.

“We can’t stay here forever,” Madara Uchiha explained. “Let Scarface follow Renya; we can find him then…”

Since Hashirama wasn't trying to persuade Renya to stay, he could only try to find a way to meet her again.

With Scarface following, finding Lianye would be a piece of cake.

Madara actually saw through Hashirama's little scheme to prevent him from contacting Renya, but he just didn't pay attention to it.

Hashirama Senju's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this; Madara was indeed still thinking about Renya.

He should have stopped Scarface from leaving.

Chapter 282 Is it fun to bully the weak?

The land of rain.

Rain continued to fall from the sky, pattering dully on the muddy road.

A person and a cat walked slowly through the dim woods, each step sinking into the soft soil.

Lian Ye tugged at the collar of his raincoat, and the icy rainwater seeped in through the gaps, sliding down his back and bringing a chill to his bones.

"Tsk, the geography of the Land of Rain is even worse than I imagined."

He knew that the Land of Rain was rainy all year round, but he did not expect the situation to be so bad.

Living in such a country is miserable enough, but to make matters worse, it's tacitly designated as a battleground by the major powers. No wonder Hanzo of the Salamander launched a war against the three kingdoms in the future, and the Akatsuki organization developed the ideal of achieving peace in the ninja world.

It seems they were all forced into this situation...

Ninjas born in powerful nations never care about the feelings of residents in smaller countries. That's just how the world is; the strong can manipulate the weak at will.

If we want to change this situation, we must fight back with even greater power. But the reason why small countries are small countries is because they rarely produce powerful ninjas.

Without a powerful ninja to lead them, they were simply no match for a great power.

Perhaps this is the tragedy of small countries.

Even though other ninja villages treated the Land of Rain as a battlefield, they could only silently endure it.

"I told you not to come to the Land of Rain, meow, your fur is all wet." Scarface had been complaining to Renya ever since he arrived in the Land of Rain.

Despite wearing a specially made straw hat and raincoat, the rain still managed to ruffle its originally fluffy fur into clumps, making it look like a drowned rat.

It shook itself, splashing water droplets, but was quickly soaked again by the new rain.

"Bear with it, we'll be at Amegakure soon." Renye didn't stop, looking at the map in her hand that was wet with rain.

They were less than 30 miles away from Amegakure.

There were signs of a battle on both sides of the road. A large tree was cut in half, and the cut was charred black, clearly caused by a fire-style ninjutsu.

A shuriken was stuck in a rock not far away, its metal surface already rusted.

There are several craters on the ground, each about two meters in diameter, with the edges cracked in a radial pattern. These are likely the remains of the explosive tags.

Several ninjas had fought at this location before.

Such scenes are countless in the Land of Rain, where all nations regard this place as a battlefield, and occasionally one can see ninjas from other villages moving through the forest.

Although the war is over, small-scale conflicts between countries continue.

The Land of Rain has long been used as a battleground by ninjas from various ninja villages.

Scar jumped over a small puddle, its tail held high to avoid getting muddy.

"It seems this place has seen quite a few battles..."

Lian Ye's ears twitched slightly, and she suddenly raised her hand to signal the fat cat to be quiet.

“Someone’s there.” His expression turned serious, and his hand was already on the hilt of his knife.

Scar immediately became alert, all the fur on its back stood on end, and its tail was taut and straight.

The sound of rain was mixed with faint metallic clanging.

Lianye gestured for the fat cat to be quiet, and the two of them stealthily moved toward the source of the sound.

As they passed through a dense thicket of bushes, the sight before them made Lianye frown.

Five corpses lay scattered in the mud, rainwater washing over their wounds and diluting their blood into red streams.

Judging from the headbands, one is from Sunagakure, and the other four are from Amegakure.

Rain pounded against the muddy ground. Lianye and Fat Cat hid behind a crooked tree, secretly observing the standoff in the open space ahead.

Five ninjas stood several dozen meters apart, the air thick with killing intent.

Three Rain Village genin formed a defensive formation back to back. The leader was a boy of about fifteen years old, whose left arm hung unnaturally, and blood kept seeping from his shoulder, staining most of his body red.

His two companions were in no better condition.

One had his right hand pierced by a kunai and could only kneel on one knee. The other had a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his abdomen and was breathing rapidly.

On the other hand, the two Sand Ninja on the opposite side were not seriously injured, and their faces were full of the smugness of victors.

Lianye noticed that the older Sand Ninja was holding three senbon needles in his right hand, which were clearly poisoned.

"Sunagakure, you've gone too far! How dare you openly attack Amegakure ninja on Amegakure's territory!" the injured Amegakure youth gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with pain.

The younger Sand Ninja scoffed, his right hand flashing across the ninja tool pouch at his waist. "The weak must be killed by the strong!"

He turned to his companion and said, "Captain, let's hurry up and finish this, this rain is so annoying."

The older Sand Shinobi narrowed his eyes, "The weak should just obediently accept their death!"

Before he finished speaking, three poisoned senbon needles shot out from the air, aiming straight for the vital points of the three Rain Ninja.

The boy from the Rain Village barely managed to swing his intact right hand, throwing out his remaining three shuriken to intercept, but only managed to knock down two.

The third senbon grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

"Watch out!" shouted the Rain Ninja who had been injured in the abdomen, while simultaneously forming hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"

A thin wall of water rose from the bottom, barely blocking the shuriken thrown by the Sand Ninja.

However, after using his ninjutsu, the Rain Ninja collapsed to the ground, his abdominal bandages completely soaked in blood.

"Need any help, meow?" Scarface asked softly.

Lian Ye shook her head. "Let me think about it again."

His hand had already reached for the kunai in his ninja tool pouch.

These people were all only genin and chunin level, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

The young Sand Ninja seized the opportunity to charge forward, wielding a short sword in each hand, towards the Rain Ninja who was kneeling on one knee.

"go to hell!"

The injured rain ninja couldn't get up in time and could only barely raise his kunai to block. The sound of metal clashing was particularly crisp amidst the rain.

The Sand Ninja's short sword pressed down on the kunai, slowly closing in on the Rain Ninja.

Just then, the Rain Ninja, who had seemed exhausted, suddenly sprang into action, a lit explosive tag appearing in his hand, which he hurled at the older Sand Ninja who was watching the spectacle.

"Big brother, be careful!" The young Sand Ninja quickly disengaged from the battle upon seeing this.

"boom!"

The explosion kicked up mud and water, but due to the distance, the older Sand Ninja was not seriously injured.

His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals: "Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!"

The violent airflow dispersed the rain curtain, and three Rain Ninja were sent flying.

The lead boy crashed heavily into a tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The other two fell heavily into the mud, instantly losing their ability to move.
