The confrontation happened in an instant, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
Kakashi didn't understand why the other party was so hostile. It was normal for ninjas to go to other countries to carry out overt missions during non-war periods.
Although there will be some cold stares and secret obstructions, it is rare to draw swords against each other like this.
Not just any country dares to mess with Konoha's golden brand.
call out!
A paper kunai landed at the midpoint between the two opposing sides, and a young girl flapped her wings and floated in the air.
"Continue with your mission. The Konoha ninja is on an escort mission. Chief Yahiko has approved it."
"Yes."
"Konoha's ninjas...don't move around randomly in the Rain Country. Just walk along the continent and you will find the country."
As the ninja dispersed Kakashi was still staring at the woman who flew away, the wings behind her seemed to be made of paper.
The special secret technique of Rain Ninja is not simple.
The conversation just now indicated that the mission approval was not given by Hanzo of the Salamander, but by Chief Yahiko... I still have to make note of this.
This person may be the newly rising leader of the Rain Village and has strategic significance for Konoha.
The ninja's instinct to collect intelligence was taking over, and Kakashi could only control himself from going too far.
The rest of the journey seemed to have been arranged in advance by the female ninja, and there were no unexpected events.
Just keep going along this main road, listening to stories as you move forward.
After walking for a while, Kakashi realized that everything in the Rain Country seemed to be just starting out. Most areas still felt similar to the Fire Country, and perhaps the previous scene was a rare occurrence.
So the focus is still on Adam's story.
When the two of them walked into a courtyard in the capital of the Rain Country on the last day, Kakashi knew that the story had ended there.
"The first attack on the Red Earth Continent to liberate slaves was a huge success, letting the world know that there are always some people who are determined to light a light of resistance in the dark world."
"Mr. Adam, is this the meaning of the lamp? Burning everything you have to seek an uncertain future, just to let everyone see a moment of light..."
"Everyone has their own understanding. I don't know how you can feel from it. But Noah's words must not only mean that he wants to see that little light."
Kakashi felt a little emotional. Although the protagonist was very stupid and overestimated his own abilities, he was determined to do an impossible task from the very beginning. This spirit was particularly shocking.
Or maybe it is out of touch with reality that can shock people. This time, surviving from the red earth continent was a terrible price. But even though he survived a narrow escape, he did not achieve much, and only saved those slaves.
It sounded like a fairy tale, but in his understanding, this was absolutely unreasonable.
In the world of ninja, no one would invest so many resources in a group of people of little value. Kakashi, who has experienced the war, has a say on this.
Unless the person to be rescued has special value, such as intelligence or a special status.
Otherwise, the Hokage would not issue such a task. This is common sense.
Chapter 38 Is this also the will of fire?
Even if someone exceeds the duties of a ninja, they will never get permission from their superiors. Such people will even be regarded as outliers, such as... Hatake Sakumo.
"Mr. Adam... In reality, no one would be so stupid. People like this will pay the price."
"Believe me, the world wasn't like this at the beginning. It will be even less like this in the future, because people instinctively yearn for a better life."
"It's just that some people are at a loss after their instincts awaken, some people have power but use it in the wrong direction, and some people will be completely extinguished by the darkness around them."
“So the fire that can really make it to the end is lit by people standing on the shoulders of countless people.”
Kakashi was a little bit unable to deal with such a decisive answer. He felt that with his strength as a jonin, he could only live in a muddle-headed way. How could you, a scholar who couldn't even walk when traveling far, have such courage?
It seems that there is an urge to take this story seriously. It turns out that the author cannot write such a wonderful story without being invested.
In the end, Kakashi began to give the answer based on his own understanding, which was a slide to the other extreme.
"This world still relies on strength to speak."
Maybe if he was strong enough, he could have rescued Rin alone, and Obito wouldn't have died there. Maybe if he was strong enough, he could have protected his friends, and Kirigakure wouldn't have had the chance to carry out such a cruel plan.
"To some extent, it is true. In the extraordinary world, the strongest individual has the most say. But only by suppressing everyone in this world can the rules of the world be changed.
"But I have a better way, that is the will of fire!"
Will of Fire? Kakashi was deeply puzzled. Could this thing be used here?
“To unite many powerful people, and then to help those without power to grow.
As long as we unite together, we can generate more flames, illuminate deeper darkness, and help more people out of suffering. Isn't this the will of fire of Konoha?"
"Is this also the will of fire?"
"This is the Will of Fire. When you have a talent beyond that of ordinary people, you must seize it. You must understand the historical mission you can undertake."
……
Suddenly Kakashi thought of something.
Could this task have been arranged by his teacher or Lord Jiraiya? Otherwise, why would there be such a knowledgeable person who understands the meaning of fire to tell this story? It's such a coincidence.
It just so happened that the author was a friend of Jiraiya-sama, and it just so happened that this friend also highly praised the Sandaime-sama's Will of Fire. It just so happened that he left the village to carry out a mission at this time, and it just so happened that this story really relieved some of my emotions.
The ninja world does not believe in coincidences, so Kakashi asked with a meaningful tone.
Mr. Adam also smiled meaningfully.
He took out several books and calligraphy and paintings from the bag, among which several calligraphy works signed by the Sandaime were revealed, as well as Jiraiya's signed version of the Genshin Ninja Legend.
All these indicate that Adam seems to have a very good relationship with Konoha's top leaders.
“I don’t know how they knew this story, maybe Jiraiya told them.
I didn't expect that Kakashi-kun would be the one to carry out the escort mission, but the sadness of a boy losing faith at this age made me want to share this story with you.
I don't know why this was arranged, maybe it's compensation? Maybe they hope you can be more excited."
Kakashi keenly grasped a key word: compensation?
"That's unclear. Asuma didn't explain it clearly. I guess he really doesn't know."
"By the way, I know that ninjas pay attention to intelligence, but the Rain Country is a small country and really can't bear the attention of a big country."
"So...it's okay."
"If you are still confused in the future, you can write to me or ask me to come and play. It is also good to know so many friends at the end of life."
“The story of this book has just begun.”
"Ah."
After getting the certificate, Kakashi turned around and walked towards Konoha.
He knew a little about Adam's body. There was no need to say much about the fate of a body that was too weak to walk for a long time.
So I may not be able to see him next time.
This is one of the rare friends that Kakashi feels sorry for. Although he is not a ninja, he seems to be standing at a higher angle.
After discussing and listening to stories along the way, Kakashi's thinking has become a little clearer, and his confused state has been greatly improved.
As for the Will of Fire...he always felt that what Adam said was different from what the Third Generation said.
And the so-called compensation made him even more concerned. There must be a very difficult story to tell.
Sharingan? Or...father?
So he secretly made up his mind that since the ninja world was now in a peaceful period, it would not be excessive to conduct a brief investigation.
When Kakashi left, Noah regained some of his energy.
From the moment he stepped into the Land of Rain, he felt a force nourishing his body and mending the cracks in his body from the source.
Moreover, the erosion of the Yin-Yang Seal continues, and it feels like my body will recover a lot in a few years.
Is it the Holy Grail that has already fallen silent? Is the will of this world repairing itself at the root?
You will know just by waiting. Then it will be time for you to make drastic changes to the world.
A figure fell from the sky.
"Teacher, you are finally back. The Rain Country is in a mess right now. Go and help everyone. Everyone is almost exhausted."
Xiaonan fell from the sky, and the anxiety in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.
It turns out that the Rain Country had a lot of problems running smoothly after leaving Noah, but Konan has been able to work around the clock since returning from Konoha.
To be frank, the art of flying was developed during this extremely busy work, and the flying speed became faster and faster.
Back at the high tower of Rain Village, everyone's progress speed was at least three times faster than before, and Yahiko was almost buried in the pile of papers in the conference room.
"Teacher Noah!!!" "Teacher is back?" "Oh my god, he's finally back." "I don't want to be the honorary leader of Akatsuki anymore."
Everyone seems to be in a very bad mood.
"Don't be anxious, just do it one thing at a time. Let me first understand what you have done, okay."
The full-time secretary Xiaonan came online and with a wave of her hand, several thick stacks of documents came over and smashed on the desk.
Oh~~ so many, luckily I have a cheat.
"Xiaobai, let's merge."
Xiaobai...your mother.
He hadn't had a rest either. Those leaders took turns installing plug-ins, and even Bai Zetsu, with his unique physique, felt tired.
The speed reading function of the Sharingan is online. As long as the brain can bear it, all the information can be recorded at super high speed.
The division of farmland was simple and went very smoothly after the nobles’ constraints were removed.
It was nothing more than counting the number of people, measuring the land, and allocating it according to the number of people. Everything from farm tools to farming methods could be done according to the plan.
Chapter 39: Konoha's Changes and Return
The productivity of ninjas is a drop in the bucket when it comes to agricultural issues. Earth escape techniques can be used to level the land, water escape techniques can be used to drain rivers, and even fire escape techniques used for land reclamation are used by some people in the village.
It’s just that I know very little, and my chakra is really insufficient.
A normal Chunin will use up all his mana after releasing just three or five ninjutsu. A Jonin will have a lot more, but not to the point where he can use it for farming.
Breaking rocks and mountains is the biggest consumer of chakra, so improving farming machinery needs to be put on the agenda.
Puppetry...we need to hurry up and find an expert to modify it.
The lack of population is a big problem. Years of war and harsh living environment have made the existing labor force very small.
It is not realistic to expect everyone to give birth to babies on the spot. Attracting population from other countries... is tantamount to provoking war again.
We can only encourage childbirth and find ways to stimulate it by giving out money.
The work of guiding the refugees down the mountain had already been done. As for the bandits and the like, those who were guilty were all executed, and those who were not guilty of serious crimes were sent to the construction site in the Rain Country for transformation.
This was the inside story of the Rain Ninja arresting people that Kakashi saw when he came in.
Elsewhere, progress has been even worse.
As for the textbooks, because Orochimaru has temporarily returned to Konoha, the knowledge of subjects such as mathematics is still very simple.
Now the basic knowledge is written by Nagato. After Jiraiya's teaching, their knowledge base is still slightly deeper than that of the ninjas from the Rain Country.
It’s just that Jiraiya’s cultural level… Thank goodness that Minato received his basic education at the Ninja School, otherwise his path to becoming Hokage would probably be a bit bumpy.
The progress of the language subject is also very difficult. According to the concept of combining education with language, the content of study should be simple yet profound, which is something that people from those schools in the country of Rain cannot do at all.
It's still basically very traditional class content, and after a few months there's still no progress.
In the end, Yahiko simply tried to give this job to Hanzo of the Salamander, and his reason was very simple.
As the leader of the Rain Ninjas who wrote the Will of Rain, what's wrong with writing something else?
Hanzo? !
I really want to kill this little bastard with a breath of poison gas. Don’t you know where the Will of Rain came from?
