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

News of Watanabe Toru's assassination spread instantly throughout the towns and villages of the eastern part of the Land of Rain.

People have very different attitudes toward this matter.

However, many people attributed the whole thing to Hanzo.

This is also inseparable from Watanabe Toru's previous public opinion guidance.

After all, it was Watanabe Tetsu who repeatedly pinned the huge blame of destroying the Land of Rain on Hanzo.

The three members of Nagato, who were walking outside the Xiaoguanghui base, had the same guess.

"Xiao Nan, tell me, could it be that the boss was assassinated by Hanzo?"

Konan rolled her eyes at Yahiko and said impatiently.

"You've been nagging all day."

"arrive."

Looking at the sea of ​​people ahead, the taciturn Changmen said in a low voice.

Wow! So many people!

This meeting was an internal meeting of the Xiaoguang Society. Unlike the previous Xiaoguang Society's first anniversary speech, Watanabe Tetsu specifically requested that all Xiaoguang Society members attend this meeting.

Nearly a thousand people stood neatly below the stage.

They are waiting for someone.

One of their leaders.

This atmosphere influenced the three little ones, and even Yahiko, who was usually a chatterbox, shut his mouth.

Ten minutes later, Watanabe Toru appeared.

He stepped onto the podium in a few strides.

His right ear still bore an unhealed scar, and his signature black trench coat bore the symbol of the Xiaoguang Society.

He walked to the microphone, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he raised his eyes and slowly scanned everyone in the audience from left to right.

He took a deep breath, and his voice carried to the audience.

"Comrades! Fellow countrymen! Brothers and sisters! Fighters of the Xiaoguang Society! My friends, I appeal to you!"

The moment the words were spoken, the audience erupted in a buzz.

The ninja from the Xiaoguang Society in the front row clenched his fists and instinctively straightened his back.

He was a long-time member of Xiaoguang Society; he knew this beginning and what would happen next.

In an instant, thousands of eyes were fixed on the straight figure on the high platform.

They waited for the next sentence.

"Hanzo of Amegakure betrayed me and attempted to assassinate me yesterday, but he doesn't know that justice will never fall!"

Watanabe Toru slammed his fist on the table in front of him with a loud bang that made everyone's eardrums vibrate.

The first roar erupted from the crowd.

"Hanzo deserves to die!"

Then came the second and third tones.

Soon, the roars merged into a deep growl.

Watanabe Toru raised his hand and pressed it down, instantly silencing the noise, leaving only the low murmur of the rain.

His tone became serious, and he emphasized each word.

"But Hanzo must pay the price! We will show Hanzo that the Xiaoguang Society is not to be trifled with! We love peace! But we are never afraid of battle!"

"Was Hanzo invincible? Absolutely not! There has never been a ninja in history who was never defeated. Tobirama Senju was once considered invincible, but he ultimately died on the battlefield."

Yes, Tobirama Senju was once considered the most powerful ninja after Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he holds absolute initiative in any battle.

But what happened to him?

He died in Kumogakure.

The Akatsuki ninjas, who were originally afraid of Hanzo's existence, had their fear instantly dispelled by these words.

"During the Second Shinobi World War, we faced the survival of our nation and the entire people of the Land of Rain, a choice between pursuing freedom and becoming lackeys of ninja villages. We had to abandon the complacency of peacetime and shift all our work to a wartime track."

"All members of the Xiaoguang Society should fight for every inch of land and defend every city and every village until the last drop of blood."

Watanabe Toru extended his left hand and clenched his fist in the air.

This is a symbol of power and resistance.

All the ninjas in the arena simultaneously extended their left hands, forming a powerful, flowing ripple.

After a long while, everyone's hands fell as Watanabe Tetsu's hand fell first.

"The purpose of this counterattack is not only to eliminate the crisis of the Akatsuki, but also to help all the people of the Land of Rain who have been enslaved by Amegakure to break free from their shackles."

"The enemy is cruel and bloodthirsty, and wants to continue his hegemonic rule. He uses food and inheritance to turn the people of the Rain Kingdom into his slaves."

"Even though large swathes of land in the Land of Rain have fallen into the clutches of the brutal rule of Amegakure, we will never be discouraged and we will never admit defeat."

"Everything for the front lines! Everything to crush Amegakure!"

He suddenly raised his arm and shouted, almost yelling, his voice hoarse but exceptionally powerful.

Watanabe Toru stood motionless in the center of the shouts.

As the shouts were gradually drowned out by the sound of rain, he took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became deep and unusually calm.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, each word carrying a powerful and clear meaning that etched it into everyone's heart.

"Our cause is righteous, the enemy will be defeated, and victory will ultimately belong to us!"

After a brief silence came even louder cheers.

Some people threw their hats into the air, some patted each other on the shoulder, and rain mixed with hot tears streamed down their different faces.

But Watanabe Toru didn't stop.

He raised his hand, as if making an oath, or as if setting the ending for this war.

"On behalf of the Aurora Society, I hereby formally declare war on Amegakure!"

"We will fight to the very end."

"We will fight in Amegakure."

"We will fight in every town with ever-growing confidence and ever-strengthening strength."

"We will defend our homeland at all costs."

"We will fight in the rainy night."

"We will fight in the fields and in the streets."

"We will be fighting in the mountains."

With each sentence, a unified response rang out from the audience.

The sound grew louder and louder, more and more unified, until it finally resounded through the sky.

Watanabe Toru raised his left hand, his tone filled with a do-or-die determination.

He clenched his fist tightly and raised it above his head.

"We will never surrender!"

The last four words cleaved through the rain, striking everyone's heart.

In an instant, the entire square erupted in chaos.

"Never surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

Thousands of people roared in unison, over and over again, the sound waves shaking the earth.

Watanabe Tetsu stood on the edge of the platform, his chest heaving violently. He didn't say anything more, but just raised his fist high.

He looked at the cheering crowd below the stage; their high morale was like a powder keg that had been ignited and could no longer be calmed down.

...

"The combat department can deploy a total of 600 people, 120 groups, and 12 regiments."

"The logistics department can deploy a total of 200 people, including 16 medical teams and 24 special operations teams."

"The management department can allocate a total of one hundred people, including eight administrative management teams and twelve emergency liaison teams."

Watanabe Tetsu listened to reports from Rin, Nishimura, and Hayakawa Hitomi in the camp.

He looked at the real sand table of the Land of Rain, where routes were already marked.

The first order was issued.

"Combat Division, follow me to the main battlefield and annihilate Amegakure!"

Watanabe Toru looked up at Nishimura.

"The special operations team is responsible for distributing supplies and ensuring their availability, while the medical team is responsible for setting up camp in the rear to ensure the safety of the Akatsuki ninjas."

"As for the management department."

Hayakawa Hitomi nodded.

"Please transmit my instructions to others via radio at any time."

Watanabe Toru raised his head and looked at the crystal-clear canyon on the map and the vast plain leading to the eastern part of the Land of Rain.

He was determined to win this war.
