Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

After entering the Land of Rain, a new problem arose for the Minato team.

How do I find Nagato? How do I find the Rinnegan?

Jiraiya told Minato that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and that he was located within the Land of Rain.

Apart from that, Jiraiya didn't tell Minato any more information.

Firstly, Jiraiya didn't have much time at the time, and secondly, so many years had passed that Jiraiya could hardly remember Nagato and the other two.

The mission for Minato's team was decided upon by the Third Hokage on short notice.

After all these years, what has become of Nagato? Where is he making his fortune? Is he dead? Was his Rinnegan taken away?

These are all factors that the Watergate team needs to consider and the scope of their investigation.

Minato stroked his chin, analyzing the situation, and then made a decision: "Let's find out about the situation in the Land of Rain first! I'll be in one group, and Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai will be in another group of three, with Kakashi as the captain."

"yes!"

Minato's team was divided into two groups: Minato alone in one group, and Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai in another group.

However, before carrying out the mission, Minato gave Kakashi his Flying Thunder God kunai and secretly left a communication toad to accompany them.

If anything happens, you can send a signal to Minato at any time, and Minato will arrive immediately.

After all, this was an S-rank mission, and there was always the risk of encountering Madara Uchiha. Minato certainly couldn't leave Kakashi and the other two unattended.

After Minato left, Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai went to the spot in town where the most elderly women were to ask around.

Lin thought that if Kurenai and Minato were paired together, she could have a date with Kakashi alone.

The cool, drizzling atmosphere is perfect for a date between two people, where they can connect heart to heart.

Rin looked at Kakashi's profile. His eyebrows and eyes had the unique handsomeness of a young man, and his hair was slightly curled up, giving him a sharp look like a ninja.

The current Kakashi is like a sharpened sword, unlike the Kakashi who looked like a deer after Obito's death.

Rin blushed. It was so good that Obito was still alive, and Kakashi had regained his energy. Things would only get better.

Hong watched Lin's lovestruck expression from behind and sighed, feeling like a third wheel.

Then she thought of Liao Wu, and Hong clenched her fist.

Uchiha Ryougo, you died a lucky death, otherwise I, Kurenai Yuhi, would have made you pay dearly.

The three of them concealed their headbands and entered the town's izakaya (Japanese pub).

The atmosphere inside the izakaya was different from the quiet and cold atmosphere outside; it was quite lively inside.

Various bottles and glasses of liquor were displayed on the bar, and patrons sat in front of the bar, chatting casually with the busy owner.

The owner skillfully prepared the dishes while responding with a smile.

The Land of Rain is known as a country that is always weeping, caught between three great powers and manipulated at will.

But the people still held onto hope, believing that Lord Hanzo would lead Amegakure to protect them.

Kakashi, along with Rin and Kurenai, sat down at the bar and quietly listened to the conversation of a group of wandering ninjas.

"I heard that a young man has joined the Akatsuki. He has medical ninjutsu skills comparable to Tsunade. As long as someone is still alive, he can revive them."

"That's amazing, is it really true?"

"Of course it's true, that medical ninja also has superhuman strength."

"When Lang Ren went to cause trouble, he smashed a boulder the size of a house with one punch, scaring many people so much they wet themselves."

"Everyone says he inherited Princess Tsunade's true skills, which is why he has such superb medical ninjutsu."

"Because he saved lives and possessed remarkable ninjutsu skills, Lord Hanzo bestowed upon him the name Yakukanra."

A medicine shrine is a small, exquisite pavilion containing medicinal herbs, signifying that the person possesses superb medical skills.

The character "罗" refers to Garuda, a yaksha in Buddhism, implying immense power.

The name Yaokanluo suggests that this person has superb medical skills and extraordinary abilities.

Kakashi thought to himself, then continued to listen attentively.

"I heard that Lord Hanzo has offered a large sum of money to recruit Lord Yakukanro. Once Lord Yakukanro joins Amegakure, he will become the number two person in Amegakure."

"Lord Hanzo is so courteous to scholars?!"

"Of course, this is a medical ninjutsu on par with Princess Tsunade. Even the great ninja villages would fight tooth and nail for it."

"However, Lord Yaokanluo refused, saying that his goal was to unify the world, and that he joined Akatsuki to end the wars in the world together with the Akatsuki members."

"A heart of a Bodhisattva, truly a saint!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, finish this drink and then join Xiao. If we're late, there won't be any seats left."

After the group of wandering ninjas had eaten and drunk their fill and left, Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai exchanged glances, all seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Some people possess medical ninjutsu comparable to Tsunade, and also have superhuman strength capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Why don't people from small towns say Hanzo is the Sage of Six Paths? They're just exaggerating to the point of breaking the sky.

Kurenai said, "Kakashi, should we chase after them? I have a feeling those wandering ninjas are just bragging."

People from the large ninja village look down on people from the small ninja village, and people from the small ninja village despise wandering ninjas even more.

One link leads to another; even among ninjas, there is a hierarchy of contempt.

Kakashi said, "Whether they're bragging or not, this Medicine Shrine Rascal who appeared out of nowhere is definitely not that simple."

"Besides, wasn't Lady Tsunade captured by Madara Uchiha? I suspect that Yakuganra is connected to Lady Tsunade's whereabouts."

"Anyway, let's follow them and see!"

Rin and Kurenai exchanged a glance. Kakashi was right. Although their mission was Nagato's Rinnegan, Tsunade was also very important.

Because it was news outside of the mission, Kakashi and his two companions didn't report it to Minato. Instead, they followed the wandering ninja's figure, intending to head to the Akatsuki's base.

On their way here, they had all found out that Akatsuki was an organization that broke the shackles of great powers and achieved peace in the ninja world through non-violent means.

Such a peace organization should not be too dangerous.

Kakashi and his two companions followed the wandering ninjas closely, chasing them until nightfall. They chased them for dozens of miles, through several small towns, until they reached a brothel.

Scarlet Wine House.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's cool off first, and figure out how to join Xiaoba tomorrow!"

"That makes sense. I heard that Lord Luo of Yaokan has frequented this nightclub. Let's go in and look for him later; we might just run into him."

"Come on, come on, it's on me! Let's all get ready for winter!"

"⊙﹏⊙."

Kakashi and his two companions stared blankly as the wandering ninjas, arms around each other and grinning, entered the adult bar.

"A bunch of useless trash, utterly incapable of any use."

No wonder wandering ninjas are at the very bottom of the ninja hierarchy. What kind of achievements can you expect from someone who can't even keep the three ninja precepts?

Kakashi had given up on this group; they had made them chase him so far, and now they were starving.

Lin blushed as she looked at the scantily clad courtesans in front of the Scarlet Tavern, then quickly averted her gaze to Kakashi: "Kakashi, what should we do now?"

Kakashi said, "Let's find a place to fill our stomachs first, then meet up with Minato-sensei!"

Lin and Hong nodded.

The courtesan at the Scarlet Tavern set her sights on the dashing Kakashi, and approached him, taking his arm: "Oh my, what a handsome young man! It's been so long since I've tasted such a treat."

"Want to come in and I'll teach you how to be an adult? Don't worry, with your good looks, I won't charge you; I'll even give you change."

That's great! Then hurry up and go in to become an adult!

Kakashi blushed instantly, thinking of the book "Hunting for Women" in his ninja tool bag!

Kakashi was still a novice who had just started reading adult novels, and he couldn't defend himself against this top-tier succubus in a single round.

That's so embarrassing.

Rin quickly pulled Kakashi over and angrily scolded the courtesan at the Scarlet Tavern: "Get out! Our Kakashi would never like someone like you."

"Kakashi, let's go!"

The courtesan wasn't angry at all, and instead smiled and winked at Kakashi: "Handsome boy, remember to come back tonight without your girlfriend knowing!"

Rin, holding Kakashi's hand, complained, "Kakashi, you absolutely mustn't go to those shady places, okay?"

Kakashi nodded repeatedly, and just as he was about to leave with Rin and Kurenai, he heard noises from the Scarlet Tavern.

"Wow! Lord Yaokanluo can walk out standing after taking on ten opponents by himself. He truly deserves to be a great man whom even Lord Hanzo treats with respect."

"Little Chizuru, next time I'll send all the girls from your Scarlet Tavern together, and we'll surely cut you down."

Kakashi and his two companions stopped in their tracks abruptly, because—it was Uchiha Ryou's voice!
