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

The light from the campfire illuminated the cave, adding a touch of tranquility to the rainy night.

Minami and Yahiko stretched out their cute little hands, feeling the temperature of the blazing flames.

"It's so warm."

Konan looked up at Yahiko, who was taking Nagato's temperature not far from the campfire, and asked.

"How is he?"

"The fever has mostly subsided, but he still needs to rest for a while."

Yahiko placed his hand on Nagato's forehead, feeling the warmth emanating from it, and replied.

"Let him rest a little longer."

Yahiko straightened the clothes covering Nagato and walked back to the campfire.

The firelight shone on Yahiko and Konan's faces.

They reflected on what had happened in the tavern that day and fell into deep thought.

Both of them fell silent.

The atmosphere froze, and they looked at each other almost simultaneously.

"that..."

"that..."

The two spoke in unison, staring blankly at each other.

Clearly, he hadn't expected the other person to speak at the same time as him.

"What do you want to say?"

Yahiko scratched his head, making his already messy hair even messier.

"That...speech."

Konan's answer was not unexpected by Yahiko, because he also wanted to bring up the topic.

What do you think?

Yahiko nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked.

"I think there's some truth to what he said."

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, her eyes hardening.

"I want to change the Land of Rain."

Yahiko looked at Minami with some surprise.

Clearly, Xiao Nan's thoughts were somewhat aligned with his.

Konan didn't notice Yahiko's approving look. She closed her eyes and recalled Watanabe Tetsu's words.

"We want to stop this country from crying, we want the children here to have white bread to eat, we want the ninjas here to not have to risk their lives, and we want the civilians here to no longer live in fear."

Xiao Nan slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze brightened.

"Why must the Land of Rain always cry? Why must the people here go hungry? Why must ninjas have to do missions? Why must civilians be bullied?"

"Is it right just because we're born this way?"

As Xiao Nan spoke, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.

She was very unwilling.

She was resentful; she had never been able to get enough to eat since birth.

She had no choice.

She was filled with resentment; her parents had been killed by Konoha ninja.

She had no power to resist.

She was unwilling to accept it, but she was powerless to change anything.

She could not stop millions of war orphans from starving to death in the rainy night.

She wanted...

Change the world.

Xiao Nan trembled, her head bowed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes as she was overcome with emotion.

"Smack."

Xiao Nan felt the force coming from her shoulder.

"I'm still here."

Konan looked up at Yahiko, who gave her a confident smile and a thumbs-up.

"My two closest friends are you two."

Yahiko paused for a moment, then continued.

"So whatever your ideals are, I will support you."

"Besides, this is also my ideal."

Yahiko's enthusiasm gave Minami endless motivation.

Just as the two were encouraging each other, a weak voice rang out from not far away.

"Add...add me too."

Nagato propped himself up and said weakly.

"Hey, you're awake!"

Yahiko looked at Nagato with surprise and excitement, and immediately wanted to give Nagato a big hug.

But Nagato clearly couldn't handle this enthusiastic interaction and hurriedly made a gesture to retreat.

Konan stared blankly at Yahiko and Nagato, who were playing around nearby, a surge of warmth welling up in her heart.

Her greatest happiness is having these two friends.

"Oh! You actually cried."

Yahiko turned his head, looked at Minami who was crying again, and laughed.

...

"So, you stumbled into the tavern after stealing bread."

Nagato pondered for a moment, then continued to confirm.

"And then you met this speaker named Watanabe?"

"That's right."

Konan and Yahiko nodded in unison, agreeing with Nagato's retelling.

They have already told Nagato about what they encountered on the road.

Nagato also stated that he agreed with Watanabe's point of view.

The three hit it off immediately and decided to plagiarize, or rather, borrow, Watanabe Tetsu's views.

It became their action plan.

They also want to do their part for the Land of Rain.

In order to reduce the number of innocent people who die in this chaotic world.

Also so that they can survive.

"So, shall we go find Uncle Watanabe?"

Yahiko crossed his arms and asked.

"It's Brother Watanabe."

Xiao Nan corrected her.

"It does seem so. He doesn't look very old. Let's just call him Big Brother."

Yahiko scratched his head, agreeing with Konan's point of view.

He then closed his eyes and thought for a moment, muttering to himself.

"Brother Watanabe, Brother Watanabe, Brother Watanabe..."

Yahiko repeated the name and grinned foolishly.

He had already imagined the story of following Watanabe, becoming his second-in-command, and saving the Land of Rain step by step.

Just as he was trapped in the "illusion", a weak voice drifted over.

"Why do we need to see him?"

Nagato's reminder woke Yahiko Sumi.

He raised his right hand, making a fist.

"Of course, I'll join his organization and contribute to the Land of Rain!"

Konan and Nagato nodded, but doubts still lingered in their eyes.

"Can we join that organization?"

It's no wonder they think so much; in the turbulent Land of Rain, war orphans are a burden.

They are young and lack ability, so it takes a long time to develop them and they constantly consume resources.

Even a stable and powerful ninja village like Konoha would only select war orphans with ninja talent to train.

For example... Yakushi Kabuto.

The three little ones in front of them were unaware of their ninja talents.

It's also unclear whether Watanabe Tetsuya would be willing to include them in the organization.

"We have no choice but to give it a try."

Xiao Nan frowned; she wasn't quite sure if it would succeed.

"We will succeed! We will change the Land of Rain!"

Yahiko encouraged everyone, affirming their efforts.

He was eager to change the status quo of the Rain Kingdom.

Now that Watanabe Tetsu has shown her a clear path, she has to try it no matter what.

His ideal is... to change the land of rain.

The residents of the Land of Rain are fed, the ninjas have a stable income, and the residents' lives are not threatened.

Yahiko's encouragement made Minami nod.

The image of Watanabe Toru on the podium flashed through her mind.

For some reason, Xiao Nan had the idea of ​​becoming the other person's apprentice.

Perhaps only by becoming Watanabe Tetsu's disciple can one have the power to change some things.

Whether it's to give them a better life or to change the world.

And Nagato...

He yearned to improve his strength.

He knew it perfectly well.

In this ninja world, only those with power can survive.

Watanabe Toru was likely the one who gave him that power.

Of course, there is another important reason—

Xiao Nan and the others wanted to go, so he went along.

So the three of them hit it off immediately and decided to embark on a journey to find Watanabe Tetsu the next morning.

set off!

Meanwhile, Watanabe Tetsu, who was at the Xiaoguanghui base, received a system message.

This made him feel happy.
