……

Akatsuki's base.

"Tsunade-sensei, I think we've arrived."

Kiyoshi looked at the steampunk-style building in front of him, which was covered with many pipes for draining rainwater.

Tsunade nodded.

"Princess Tsunade?"

Nagato and Yahiko were both taken aback when they saw Tsunade.

Every country has its skilled ninjas, whose fame spreads far and wide.

Without a doubt, Tsunade is such a person.

“Nagato, Yahiko, right? Jiraiya would be very happy to know that you are alive.”

Tsunade smiled.

Those three children from back then have all grown up now.

She and Jiraiya were both disciples of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and were fellow students. These three children were Jiraiya's students, so they could call her their senior uncle.

"It is also a pain in our hearts that we cannot see Jiraiya-sensei."

Yahiko explained to Tsunade.

They simply couldn't leave their posts, and Konoha wasn't a place they could just go to whenever they wanted.

"That guy knows you're still alive, so he won't care about anything else."

Tsunade shook her head.

"So, Mr. Kiyoshi is Lady Tsunade's disciple?"

Yahiko asked, puzzled.

I've never heard of Tsunade taking on any disciples.

Since the last war, Tsunade's whereabouts have become unclear, and she has kept a much lower profile in the ninja world.

"Hmm, newly recruited. We've come to see how you're doing. We heard you've established an organization for peace purposes?"

Tsunade patted Kiyoshi on the shoulder.

Although it was agreed that Kiyoshi would formally accept him as a disciple only after he had completed the "Yin Seal" training, given Kiyoshi's progress, it was probably a done deal.

She had never seen a ninja who could master the "Yin Seal" so quickly. Even when Grandma Mito taught her, she didn't learn it this fast.

Therefore, Tsunade tacitly accepted Kiyoshi calling her teacher.

"We, Akatsuki, fight for peace. Lady Tsunade and Mr. Kiyoshi, please come with us."

Yahiko stood up.

He wanted to introduce Akatsuki to Tsunade.

Tsunade experienced the war firsthand, and it's said that her younger brother even died in it, so she can definitely understand their pain.

If the Akatsuki's peaceful ideals can be spread and more people become aware of them, that would be a good thing.

"Let's go take a look."

Tsunade lowered her hand from Kiyoshi's shoulder.

Kiyoshi is taller than her, so she has to stand on tiptoe every time, which is quite tiring.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

The group began to stroll around Akatsuki, and Yahiko enthusiastically introduced them to Akatsuki's recent situation.

Xiao Nan frowned slightly during the journey.

As a woman, she is very sensitive to gazes.

She always felt that Kiyoshi's gaze was subtly looming over her.

Xiao Nan tightened the heavy black robe around her body, making her graceful figure appear even more defined, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

She quickly took a few steps forward and walked beside the long gate.

Yahiko was standing in front of Tsunade and Kiyoshi.

……

It was dusk.

Kiyoshi closed the panel of entries in front of him.

Because he went deep into Akatsuki's territory, he also unlocked an entry called "Akatsuki Rising (Blue)," which increases his ability to incite others with language by 40%.

Kiyoshi knew that he had obtained this entry at a very opportune time. If it had been any later, when Nagato turned to the dark side and Obito joined Akatsuki, their base would no longer be a place they could come to at will.

"somebody is coming."

Kiyoshi's gaze suddenly turned to a certain spot.

"people?"

Tsunade wondered.

This is the Akatsuki's base, and there are Akatsuki members everywhere. Isn't it normal for people to come here?

Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were also puzzled.

"Hanzo has sent people to make contact with us!"

Skanda Kyushu walked over excitedly.

Hanzo?

Yahiko was stunned.

He had just spent two or three hours with Kiyoshi and Tsunade.

Now Hanzo has sent people again.

Do the Akatsuki have this many guests today?

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing an eyepatch appeared behind Kyusuke, revealing only his left eye.

He pulled down the gas mask and placed it around his neck.

Qing Si's eyes flickered slightly.

That man was a confidant of Hanzo the Salamander, and his name was Kanzo.

There is only one possibility for approaching Xiao now.

That means Hanzo the Salamander had set a trap.

In the original story, Akatsuki thought Hanzo had acknowledged their efforts and was excited to make contact with him.

As it turned out, it was a trap. Konan was captured and used to threaten Yahiko and Nagato.

In the end, Yahiko died, Nagato turned to the dark side, and Hanzo crippled his legs.

This resulted in him being able to sit on a puppet machine made with "heretical power" for the rest of his life, requiring Konan to protect his main body closely.

While Kiyoshi was observing Kanzo, Kanzo was also observing Kiyoshi and Tsunade, revealing a deep sense of apprehension.

As expected... the people of Konoha have been in contact with Akatsuki.

It was Tsunade again, along with an Uchiha.

Kanzang looked closely at Qingsi's face and was startled.

Isn't this Uchiha Kiyoshi, who's been making headlines lately?

It is said to be as fast as lightning and unparalleled in lightning techniques, hence the name "Black Lightning"!

Kanzang composed himself, looked at one of the orange-haired youths, and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, are you the leader of Akatsuki, Lord Yahiko?"

"it's me."

Yahiko knew that this man was Hanzo's right-hand man, a man of high status.

He was curious as to why Hanzo had come to contact them.

Even though Xiao has been developing rapidly during this period, it is able to recruit many talented and ambitious people every day, as well as a large number of people who trust it and entrust it with their projects.

However, its scale is ultimately incomparable to that of Amegakure, and it lacks the manpower to complete all the requests; this is a difference in foundation.

“My name is Kanzō, and I am from Amegakure…”

The explorer began by introducing himself.

Then he began to explain his purpose for coming.

The gist of it is that Hanzo heard that the Akatsuki organization had recruited many excellent ninjas and insisted on treating the world with peace rather than force.

Therefore, Hanzo the Salamander greatly admired him and specially sent him here.

"This is a personal letter sent by Lord Hanzo on my orders."

Kanzang handed a scroll to Yahiko.

Yahiko took it, opened it, and his pupils contracted.

"is this real?"

His tone betrayed his joy and surprise; he hadn't expected the content to be like this at all.

"Lord Hanzo wants to see you in person. He has acknowledged Akatsuki!"

The exploration and discovery process announced this exciting news.

The members of Akatsuki immediately beamed with joy, unable to contain their excitement. This meant they could now operate openly and become an official organization.

Seeing the joyful expressions on the faces of the Akatsuki members, Kiyoshi's eyes remained calm and unwavering.

Slowly, a smile appeared on his face.

This group of people were simply not well-educated; compared to farmers, they only had weapons called ninjutsu.

Their ideals are too lofty, and they mistakenly assume that others share the same thoughts.

In the end, he was framed.

"Lord Hanzo also hopes that in the future, he can entrust you with the task of negotiating with the three surrounding countries."

Kanzang's next words were like another shot of adrenaline for the Akatsuki members.

"The negotiation mission between the three kingdoms... is fantastic, brother."

"Are we really capable of undertaking such a heavy responsibility?"

"If this task can be resolved, wouldn't the Land of Rain be able to usher in true peace?"

The Akatsuki members were discussing it excitedly.

"Yes, but it's best to come with fewer people. This matter shouldn't be publicized, as there are many spies from other countries in the Rain Kingdom."

The exploration of the treasures is described again.

"Please inform Lord Hanzo that we understand."

Yahiko showed the scroll to Nagato and the other Akatsuki members.

After receiving a definite answer, the old man smiled and quickly left.

"Kiyoshi, it's time for us to go too."

Seeing that the Akatsuki organization was thriving and fighting for peace, Tsunade felt relieved.

Jiraiya found out, and he might even insist on coming to see them.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

They will stay in the Land of Rain for a few days, which will be enough.
