Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

"Isn't there a second option?"

"Hanzo the Salamander said with a wink."

Yun An continued to sneer, not preparing to answer.

Just then, a series of sounds came from in front of the tavern, and someone shouted, "Lord Hanzo, Lord Yahiko, and Lord Konan!"

In today's Amegakure, the Akatsuki organization has already been established.

Since Hanzo of the Salamander had not yet reached a deeper level of cooperation with Danzo, Yahiko, as the leader, remained alive and well.

At this moment, the Akatsuki organization was still in a period where ideals and the dawn of hope coexisted.

"Lord Hanzo, would you mind treating me to a meal?"

Yahiko's hearty laughter could be faintly heard from afar.

Hanzo the Salamander moved aside to make room for Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, who were behind him, to sit down.

Seeing this, Yun An frowned slightly and looked at Hanzo the Salamander with a puzzled gaze.

It was agreed that such an important matter would be discussed in this ordinary little tavern?

"You did it on purpose."

Yun An stared intently at Hanzo the Salamander and asked in a deep voice.

Hanzo the Salamander did not reply.

He was certain that Yun An would not leave easily until he achieved his goal in Amegakure.

Therefore, he continued his conversation with Yahiko with great ease: "The previous high-pressure policies can be withdrawn. I believe you can see the sincerity of the village."

"The Akatsuki has gathered many ninjas from the village, and we hope to gather all the strength of Amegakure next. Only in this way can we change the adversity of Amegakure and lead the people of the village to create a true peace that belongs to Amegakure."

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander spoke of the peace that permeated his very being. Yahiko grasped his hand tightly, truly feeling the sincerity of this Kage of Amegakure.

"The Akatsuki organization is willing to cooperate!"

He readily agreed again.

The Akatsuki organization was founded to improve the situation of Amegakure.

They have naturally noticed Hanzo's attitude towards the Salamander and the changes in the entire Amegakure.

Before coming to this tavern, the Akatsuki had already done a detailed investigation of Amegakure. Almost everyone in the organization, even those who had previously held considerable prejudice against Hanzo the Salamander, the "demigod of the ninja world," had to admit that the true master of Amegakure was indeed working hard for the future of Amegakure.

The implementation of the system and the allocation of funds have indeed improved the lives of the villagers in Yuyin Village to some extent.

Although there haven't been many changes yet, the situation in Amegakure is complex. Many members of Akatsuki have done their homework and understand that it's already quite remarkable that Hanzo the Salamander and the village have managed to get to where they are today.

If things were to proceed any further, the entire Amegakure village's finances simply couldn't support it, which is why the two sides are meeting and negotiating at this moment.

"Who is this?"

With a hint of excitement, Yahiko looked at Yun'an across from him and asked curiously.

"Tenzo, a high-ranking advisor to Amegakure. If nothing goes wrong, the entire transformation of Amegakure will gradually unfold under his planning."

Hanzo the Salamander explained.

"So it's Lord Tianzang."

As Yahiko stepped forward, preparing to greet Yun'an politely, he bent down slightly and, at just the right angle, saw Yun'an's face directly.

He narrowed his eyes, his expression suddenly freezing, an incredulous look appearing on his face, and he blurted out, "Dad?"

"Illusion?"

Konan's expression immediately tensed up, as Nagato was preparing to activate his Rinnegan and enter battle mode.

The chakra within the two is about to erupt.

Just then, Yun An's calm voice rang out, seemingly carrying an invisible force of restraint, silently suppressing the aura emanating from the two of them, and said indifferently, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

Yahiko's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes brighter than ever before. Instead of refuting, he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, you've confirmed the wrong person."

"Lord Tianzang looks very much like an elder in my memory, the father who took me in."

Upon hearing this address, Yun An felt a slight toothache, but she wasn't too worried.

Simply because his time with Yahiko was a beautiful one.

Even after the mission ended, Yun An had already made arrangements for Yahiko's future behind the scenes.

Not only did they help him become a ninja, but they also made many preparations.

Even if Yahiko eventually establishes the Akatsuki organization, the large amount of initial funding and connections he made in the early stages were all secretly provided by Yun An, which was enough to be a great help to them in the beginning.

However, all of that was over, and in Yun An's heart, it had already come to a perfect end.

This is the last time.

He didn't want to have another son out of nowhere.

Even if a civil servant is a qualified ordinary citizen with a child, it is still difficult to marry a wife of one's own, let alone when the two are not related by blood.

"With Lord Hanzo here, the cooperation between Akatsuki and Amegakure will be seamless. Please rest assured, Lord Hanzo, Akatsuki will do its utmost."

A bright smile spread across Yahiko's face as he sat down and solemnly reaffirmed his promise.

Hanzo the Salamander glanced at Yun An with a slightly strange look, but then, remembering Yun An's abilities, he let it go.

At least in his mind, Yun An would never do anything to harm Amegakure.

"Lord Tenzo, Lord Hanzo, let's begin."

Looking at the feast before them, Yahiko, along with Konan and Nagato beside him, felt their stomachs rumble loudly.

Looking at the layered fish steamed cake and the deep-fried skewers in the cage in front of me, I couldn't help but drool.

The Akatsuki organization is even more strapped for cash than Amegakure, so they rarely get to enjoy such a delicious meal in order to save money.

"The Thousand-Layer Fish Steamed Cake is a specially steamed rice cake. It has a very chewy texture. It not only contains a small amount of potato starch, but also slightly sweet dew sugar, making it particularly soft and glutinous. Xiao Nan, you should try it."

"The cage-shaped fried skewers are golden brown and skewered on thin iron sticks. They contain wild vegetables and various meats. Nagato, eat more of these to nourish your body."

As always, Yahiko first shared the good stuff with the people around him before his eyes fell on the remaining oden. He swallowed hard, picked up a spoon, and prepared to have a good feast to fill his stomach.

"Boss, another pot of oden, please."

Yun An's calm voice rang out.

Yahiko was slightly taken aback when he saw that the boss had already come over to prepare for the change.

He hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "No need, no need. The rest is already quite good. Lord Tianzang, there's really no need to go to such trouble. After all, we're late, and besides..."

Leftovers are bad for your health!

Yun An ignored his explanations and said firmly, "Eat it if I tell you to."

Strangely, Yahiko, who had just seemed very opinionated, suddenly became obedient upon hearing these words, which carried a hint of admonition. He nodded very sensibly, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

When he looked at Yun An again, his gaze became exceptionally warm.

In my memory, my father told him the same thing. Although his tone was a bit stern, his intentions were good, and it was all for his sake.

People like Yahiko are best able to appreciate these subtle beauties, and find Yun'an all the more endearing.
