Among the rolling hills.
Yahiko and Nagato were standing at the entrance of the cave, looking in the direction of Rain Village.
Their brows were filled with worry.
Rumble
The angry thunder came, and the mountains echoed for a long time. The sound was like thousands of drums.
In the blink of an eye, the rain suddenly became heavier.
The sound of rain came together and roared, and the sky seemed to have opened countless holes. The heavy rain gathered into a waterfall and fell toward the earth.
At this moment, Yahiko and Nagato's eyes lit up, and their eyebrows relaxed.
In the rain, konan, who had turned the paper into wings with a dance of paper, fell from the sky.
Yahiko hurriedly pulled konan, who was soaked in rain, into the cave closer to the fire. He asked,
"How is it? Is the person who entered the Rain Village today Uchiha Tunan?"
Konan lowered her head with a face full of self-blame, shook her head and said,
"The Rain Village is under martial law, and there are ninjas everywhere.
I don't dare to land to investigate the information. "
Yahiko nodded silently. Nagato said from the side,
"Yahiko, the intelligence personnel in the small town have confirmed with the members who came back from Konoha.
This time, the people from Konoha were Uchiha Tunan and his men.
Based on the direction and time they left the town, they must have been the ones who entered the village to meet Hanzo.
He has been capturing our members for almost a year.
Now that he has met Konoha's people, it is possible that he will harm the organization."
Yahiko sighed heavily, looked at the burning fire, and said in a deep voice,
"No, Lord Tunan has met us once.
The two of you should also be able to feel that Lord Tunan is a person who loves peace.
If not for Lord Tunan's reminder, we would still be on the wrong path. "
After saying that, Yahiko slowly stood up and came to the cave entrance.
Looking out, the heavy rain blocked off the distant mountains.
Yahiko stretched his hand out of the cave and felt the bean-sized raindrops falling on his palm. He closed his eyes and muttered,
"The war is not because everyone can not understand each other, but because the population and resources are severely uneven.
We can't change the environment of the big country. The only thing we can do is help the Rain Country become a middle-tier country to stay away from war. "
With that, Yahiko opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. He said with a determined face,
"This is my hometown. It has rich resources.
As long as the Rain Country can be outside of war, everyone can live happily. "
All of a sudden, Yahiko's eyes focused, and he discovered that the dark clouds that were as thick as lead iron were penetrated by a black dot from top to bottom.
A ray of golden sunlight just happened to shine through the temporarily opened cloud tunnel to the cave where Yahiko was.
Yahiko looked at the bird that was rapidly falling from the sky and shouted, "Who is it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, konan and Nagato, who were roasting fire in the cave, stood up and stood behind Yahiko, looking at the sky vigilantly.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them could clearly see that it was a big golden bird that had jumped down from the sky.
"swoosh!"
Along with a high-pitched cry, Uchiha Tunan jumped down from the back of the big bird and landed firmly in front of the three of them.
"I mean, it's raining so heavily. How can there be birds flying in the sky?"
Uchiha Tunan ignored the three of them and walked straight to them. He smiled gently at Konan and said,
"Sorry, I followed you.
I hope you don't mind. "
Hearing this familiar voice, Yahiko instantly put down his guard and said happily,
"Lord Tunan!"
"Long time no see."
Uchiha Tunan nodded with a faint smile on his face. Then, he walked into the cave and said slowly,
"This time, the higher-ups of Konoha sent me here to help Hanzo clear out the illegal organization with the intention to rebel.
Before I came, I heard about the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization. At that time, I immediately thought of you.
You guys are really great. "
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan had already entered the cave and sat down, taking off his trench coat and starting to warm at the fire, Yahiko took a few steps forward and anxiously explained:
"Lord Tunan, we don't have any thoughts of rebelling against Lord Hanzo.
We just want peace in the Rain Country. "
Uchiha Tunan shook the slightly moist windbreaker on his face and said unhurriedly,
"As far as I know, you have been recruiting members into the organization over the past few years.
It had become the biggest illegal organization in the Rain Country and even in the whole world.
Such a huge force, no matter which country it was in, was a time bomb."
Yahiko came to sit opposite Uchiha Tunan. Nagato and Konan stood behind him.
"We just want to gather more people to make peace louder.
In this way, under the influence of the public opinion, it would be easier for Lord Hanzo to listen to our suggestions.
Moreover, we hardly deliberately recruited new members. Most of the current members joined on their own after hearing about our deeds and the purpose.
We can't just turn away those who love peace, can we?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Tunan nodded in realization. Then, he frowned and whispered,
"But in Hanzo's eyes, you are expanding your power in the name of peace, wanting to show your claws and teeth when your wings are full, so as to overthrow his ruling organization.
Now you have succeeded in becoming a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh.
I was ordered wait to get rid of you. "
Yahiko sighed heavily, and said with a bitter face,
"I understand that Hanzo has a misunderstanding with us. I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to him.
However, he has always been staying in Rain Village. If we gather too many people, I'm afraid that it will deepen the misunderstanding.
If I go alone, what if he catches me?
He can't understand my persuasion. If he kills me, the Akatsuki organization will not be far from falling apart. "
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Uchiha Tunan with a hopeful expression and said with an expectant tone:
"Lord Tunan, can you help us?
You are the messenger of Konoha, and Lord Hanzo will definitely give you face.
Please be our middleman, and ask him to come out for a talk."
A strange expression appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face as he said,
"How could you think of asking me for help?
I just told you that I was sent by Konoha to help Hanzo destroy you. "
However, Yahiko simply smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I know Lord Tunan won't do that."
Uchiha Tunan said with a puzzled expression,
"Why?
Do I look like the kind of person who is soft-hearted?
You should know that I came this time under the orders of the higher-ups of Konoha.
I won't betray Konoha even if I die. "
Yahiko's face turned serious, and he shook his head.
"But since the first time we met, we talked.
I knew you were someone who yearned for peace.
Some time ago, I also heard about you in Konoha.
A person whose heart is full of love and courage, even able to influence the Evil Tailed Beasts.
How could he not understand the reason and be fond of peace?
I believe that I can not judge the wrong person."
