Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

"Please come in."

Watanabe Tetsu's voice came from inside, which prompted Ryosuke to walk in.

The office of the Xiaoguanghui's Amatsu-cho branch is not luxuriously decorated; in fact, it can be described as quite simple.

Completely different from the dark and gloomy decor of Hanzo, Watanabe Toru's place gives people a bright feeling.

"Lord Watanabe."

Ryosuke walked a few steps to Watanabe Tetsuya and then suddenly knelt down on one knee.

His behavior was somewhat unnatural, as if he were submitting to someone for the first time.

Just as he lowered his head, waiting for Watanabe Tetsu to speak, a pair of warm, large hands supported his arm.

Then he felt an irresistible force lift him up from the ground.

"In Xiaoguang Society, everyone is equal, you don't need to kneel before me."

Ryosuke slowly raised his head, and Watanabe Tetsu's gentle face was gilded by the warm light.

It looks both sacred and approachable.

Ryosuke's heart skipped a beat, but his professional instincts quickly brought him back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, Lord Watanabe."

"Um?"

Watanabe Toru felt somewhat dissatisfied with the still distant and hierarchical form of address.

"Watanabe..."

Ryosuke struggled to process what to say to the approachable leader before him.

He thought for a long time and managed to squeeze out a few words from his malfunctioning brain.

"Lord Watanabe."

"Is there a difference?"

Watanabe Tetsu looked somewhat helpless. He had told many of his subordinates that they didn't need to care too much about the superior-subordinate relationship.

He is just a leader, not someone superior to them.

We are all human beings, and we are all equal.

But his subordinates wouldn't listen at all; they still called him "boss."

Watanabe Tetsu could sense the respect in his tone, and over time, he became too lazy to correct him.

"I called you here today to see what your plans are."

Watanabe Tetsu took out a form with Ryosuke's basic information on it.

However, most of this information was provided to Yamada by Ryosuke himself, and details such as his proficiency in scythe techniques were not included.

After all, the scythe technique is closely related to Hanzo.

Ryosuke didn't want Watanabe Tetsu to suspect him.

Before Ryosuke could answer, Watanabe Tetsu continued.

"You were introduced by Boss Yamada. We originally planned to hire people a week later, but he strongly recommended you, so I had no choice but to hire you ahead of schedule."

Watanabe Tetsu's face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Ryosuke, right?"

Ryosuke nodded.

"Is there any department you'd like to join?"

Ryosuke hesitated for a moment. Of course he wanted to go to the management department, but his purpose was too obvious.

"That's fine, it depends on your preference."

Watanabe Tetsu nodded, as if he had expected the other party to react this way.

"I've reviewed your information, and I think you're better suited for the logistics department."

"logistics department?"

There is no such organizational structure in Amegakure. Ryosuke had never even heard of the word "logistics," which made him quite curious.

"That's right, the logistics department."

Watanabe Tetsu handed the documents in his hand to Ryosuke and gave a brief introduction.

"The logistics department is primarily responsible for ensuring the safety of supplies and personnel, and providing medical assistance and sealing support when necessary."

"However, I do not know sealing techniques or medical ninjutsu."

Ryosuke said somewhat awkwardly.

He didn't know why Watanabe Tetsu had assigned him to the logistics department.

A special Jonin like him is highly sought after throughout the Land of Rain.

Even Hanzo would be assigned to a combat-related department to shine.

Assigning him to the logistics department, which is entirely responsible for taking care of others and transporting supplies, is a bit of an insult to him.

Moreover, he knew absolutely nothing about medicine or sealing techniques.

"It's okay. Not all members of the logistics department know medicine and sealing. You can go there and do odd jobs."

"Job chores?"

"That's right. The Land of Rain is currently facing internal and external troubles, and it is a time when we need to build and develop. It is foolish to rely on war for profit like Hanzo. We need to develop ourselves in order to become stronger."

Hanzo? War?

It felt as if a thin membrane in Ryosuke's heart had been pierced.

Yes, he had worked for Hanzo for several years, and he knew Hanzo's methods all too well.

Threat, force, war.

Then he used his personal strength to overwhelm everyone and make them submit to him.

This is also a microcosm of Hanzo's governance of the rainy country.

It's a complete survival of the fittest.

But is this kind of militarism really right?

As Ryosuke was under Hanzo's command, he naturally knew the answer to this question.

Under Hanzo's violent rule, the people of the Land of Rain became fuel for this violent machine.

The Land of Rain appears to be more prosperous and powerful, even capable of challenging the three great nations.

But what's the reality? Ordinary people can't even afford to eat.

The days are getting worse.

Watanabe Tetsu's proposed management and development strategies seem to explain Hanzo's failure.

Hanzo's rule relied solely on military force, lacking any management or sustainable development strategy.

Hanzo knew how to drive the enemy out of the Land of Rain, but he didn't know how to use the enemy to negotiate terms for the Land of Rain.

Ryosuke had been monitoring the Akatsuki-kai all along. He knew perfectly well that the Akatsuki-kai had built a huge food park and even a factory of dubious significance.

From this perspective, it seems that all of this is about management and development?

Perhaps, Watanabe Toru really can change the Land of Rain?

This thought popped into Ryosuke's mind.

But he kept this idea buried deep in his heart.

"Ryosuke, the Logistics Department needs you, it needs talented people like you who love the Land of Rain. Only with your contributions and efforts can the Land of Rain become even more glorious."

Ryosuke lowered his head slightly; he hadn't expected himself to be so talented.

"Lord Watanabe, what can I do for you?"

Watanabe Tetsu replied, seeing that the fish had taken the bait.

"I need your help with something."

"What's wrong?"

A smile appeared on Watanabe Tetsu's face.

"Search for the Two-Tailed Beast."

Tailed Beasts!

Ryosuke's heart skipped a beat.

This is a tailed beast that's said to be able to wipe out an entire village by itself!

Should we let him go find it?

ha?

You want me to die, don't you?

Could it be that his identity has been discovered?

Ryosuke had his doubts, but he still agreed.

"Yes, Lord Watanabe."

When Watanabe Tetsu heard about Furukawa's chakra power plant, he was about to send someone to find the tailed beast when Ryosuke came over.

Based on the timeline, the Two-Tails should not yet have been sealed into Yugito's body.

Then, there would be a chance to snatch it directly from the Hidden Cloud Village.

It seems that the other tailed beasts have all been sealed inside the jinchūriki.

Going to other ninja villages to steal Jinchuriki doesn't seem quite right...

After all, smuggling rare animals and human trafficking are not on the same level.

In addition, the other tailed beasts seem to be harder to fool. The Two-Tails is gentle and kind, speaks sweetly, and is also an adorable Hakimi.

Naturally, Watanabe Tetsu's primary target was this cat.

Why would you steal it?

Connected to the power grid, it generates electricity!

Since Ryosuke is an undercover agent anyway, it's best to give him a temporary job and send him to a place far away from Akira.

It's best not to give him the opportunity to transmit information to that old bastard Hanzo.

After much thought, the task of finding the two-tailed creature seemed strangely suitable for him.

As for what if Ryosuke dies while searching for the Tailed Beasts...

Ah, who is Ryosuke?

Not familiar with it.
