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

Compatriots? This term was somewhat unfamiliar to the eldest brother who lived in Amegakure.

But this was the first time the eldest brother had experienced such a unique emotion.

Something called emotional bond crept into the leader's heart.

At that moment, it was as if he had been upgraded from a ninja of Amegakure to a citizen of the Land of Rain.

The eldest brother pursed his lips, and said uncertainly.

"Where should we go? Are we prisoners of war? What are we supposed to do?"

These three questions are what the eldest brother is most curious about and most concerned about.

After being taken over by a completely new regime, the leader is now filled with confusion.

He didn't know what he was going to experience.

Was it to become a laborer, working sixteen hours a day in a cave dwelling?

Or will they become cannon fodder and be sent to the front lines of the war?

he does not know.

"You can go wherever you want; to be precise, you are free."

Xiaoguang's words as a ninja put the leader at ease.

free?

"Can I leave Amegakure too?"

"Of course, it's your choice."

This statement silenced the leader, who was weighing all the factors.

Before the leader could answer, Xiaoguang, a ninja, continued to answer his second question.

"As for the prisoners of war, Lord Watanabe said that you are just victims within the system. In the face of this war machine that constantly needs to be refueled, everyone in Amegakure is pathetic."

"Our enemy is this pathetic war machine, not every individual crushed within the system. Of course, as Lord Watanabe also said, those who remain obstinate will die."

Xiaoguang's expressions as a ninja are very colorful, and whenever he talks about Watanabe Tetsu, his face is filled with pride.

But in the boss's eyes, all of this became so magical.

He recalled everything he had done in Amegakure.

They did everything they could to complete Hanzo's mission, only to receive a meager meal in return.

He is, without a doubt, the fuel.

Amegakure was that war machine.

"So, although I hate the ninjas of Amegakure—you're selfish, treacherous, and stubborn—I won't hold you ordinary ninjas responsible for the deaths of my brothers. Rather than killing you all, I'd rather overthrow this damned system."

The Akatsuki ninja's face showed some sadness as he thought of his Akatsuki friends who had died in battle.

His voice was suppressed and low.

"This world is already terrible enough. I'd rather be your friend than be your enemy for life."

The eldest brother's lips moved.

He originally wanted to participate in Lord Hanzo's conscription, but he was ultimately rejected because of his injuries.

If he had participated in that operation...

The eldest brother managed to squeeze out two words.

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing."

Xiaoguang, the ninja, turned around and glanced back at the two of them once more.

"I'm leaving now. I wish you all a happy life."

"etc!"

The leader suddenly called out to the group, his tone uncertain.

"How will we get food after this?"

"As before, I do some temporary tasks assigned by Xiaoguanghui, or apply for some jobs through Xiaoguanghui."

"A temporary assignment? A job?"

Seeing that this topic couldn't be finished in a short time, the Xiaoguang ninja, who had been talking, turned around and began to explain.

"Xiaoguang will issue some temporary tasks from time to time, such as building some structures and collecting some intelligence. These are all relatively basic and simple tasks."

"If I had to put it in perspective... it's about the same difficulty as the previous C-rank and D-rank missions in Amegakure."

"And what about the compensation?"

"It depends on the specific task, but we will definitely provide enough food."

The eldest brother nodded. As long as the food could be provided, everything was negotiable.

"You can think of work as a long-term job. For example, Xiaoguang Association has some agricultural parks, research bases, or factories, which all require long-term and stable workers."

"The job pays a monthly salary. It's stable and has many benefits, but the degree of freedom is also lower."

The Akatsuki ninja glanced at his leader and chuckled.

"If you're talented, I suggest you choose a job."

His voice suddenly became softer, as if he were whispering.

"Our boss values ​​talent very much, and working with him long-term will help you get noticed by him."

Xiaoguang, the ninja, shrugged and took a few steps back.

"I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said. Good luck to you now."

Is he a talent?

The leader then looked at his underlings.

Is he considered talented?

It's obvious that none of them are talented.

But at least we can survive, no matter what.

The eldest brother sighed and finally managed to squeeze out a "thank you" through gritted teeth.

Many residents of Amegakure shared similar experiences with their leader, and they were all more or less comforted by the food provided by the Akatsuki.

After confirming that they could obtain food by completing tasks, their worries were completely relieved.

The grief and anxiety that Hanzo's death brought were quickly washed away.

There's nothing we can do; Lord Hanzo's death is a foregone conclusion.

Since things have come to this, let's first welcome our new boss, Lord Watanabe.

Moreover, Boss Watanabe gives them more and is more generous, and they don't need to do any dangerous missions.

A boss like that should be given a solid position!

Meanwhile, Watanabe Toru, holding a walkie-talkie on the mountaintop, listened to the messages of mission completion coming through the microphone.

A smile finally appeared on his face.

Everything he did...

Distributing food helps stabilize public morale and prevent riots.

Introduce the job and explain the differences between Xiaoguanghui and other similar organizations.

Then he spread the concept that he values ​​talent.

It simply reveals one thing.

Xiaoguang will be better than Yuyin Village, much better.

Amegakure used to exploit you by offering you food and promotion opportunities, but we, the Akatsuki, will not.

We are very generous; as long as you do things for us, we will give you everything you deserve.

With such propaganda and actions, the residents of Amegakure will quickly come to accept the rule of the Akatsuki.

That will be the time to completely wipe out the remnants of Amegakure.

It could even be said that their existence is self-defeating.

Xiaoguang Society, on the other hand, seemed to have suffered a huge loss, having paid off with a considerable amount of food.

However, the potential labor force and talent gained in return are completely immeasurable.

What should we do if Xiaoguang wants to push the project forward?

We need people! We need manpower!

The labor market in Amegakure can perfectly fill this gap.

Let's talk about talent.

In Xiaoguanghui, a rapidly developing organization, talent is the most lacking element.

And in the entire Land of Rain, where are the most talented people?

Without a doubt, it is Amegakure.

Of the more than forty medical ninjas that Watanabe Tetsu had previously recruited, nearly half were from Amegakure.

This shows just how deep Rain Village's talent pool is.

These talents, under Hanzo's previous rule, had not had their true value developed.

Hanzo didn't understand the power of medical ninjas and sealing ninjas, but Watanabe Tetsu did.

Hanzo was completely unable to discover scientific research talent, but Watanabe Toru was.

No one knows how to utilize talent better than him.

It is believed that with these actions, a steady stream of talented individuals will join Xiaoguang Club.

By then, the Aurora Society will have become a force far surpassing Amegakure.
