Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 10 is so gruesome it's unbearable! (Help! Please continue reading!!!)

Dark, thick clouds, like snakes, coiled above the lakes of the Land of Rain.

The falling raindrops splashed on the river surface, making it look as if it were raining from both the sky and the ground.

Strong winds brought torrential rain, the black flags at the harbor stood taut, and the moored ships creaked in the wind.

boom!

In the rusty port duty room.

The gaunt old man locked the windows, put on a pair of cotton earmuffs, held a bottle of liquor, huddled in his chair, and prematurely ended his meaningless "work."

"Anyway, no idiot would come here in this damn weather."

The old man looked wearily towards the distant capital of the Rain Kingdom, where tall steel buildings loomed in and out of view amidst the torrential rain.

Moreover, given the current state of the Rain Kingdom, even countries that have established trade relations with it dare not do business here anymore.

This old man, who was in charge of managing ship berthing, is now just a figurehead, so naturally he doesn't need to stay awake all night.

Coincidentally, some people had the same idea.

Ugh!

A melodious flute tune, like the song of a blue whale, gradually pierced the dark, stormy night.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Through the rain, Yahiko's loud shouts could be heard.

The enormous black shadow was clearly reflected in those raised orange pupils.

With the sound of crashing waves, a dark shadow rolled down from the river.

What was truly terrifying was a giant ship painted the same color as the stormy night!

Soon, it cut through the oncoming giant waves and came to a steady stop in front of the harbor, not far from the group of people.

Ugh!

Yun Chuan put his finger to his lips and whistled loudly, as if responding to the giant ship.

"Let's get on the ship."

Seeing that a ladder had been lowered onto the boat, he glanced at the few small creatures beside him and said, "Our people have arrived."

Without saying a word of nonsense, Yun Chuan led Ya Yan and the others leisurely up the ship's ladder.

Five figures dressed in black raincoats stood side by side on the boat, looking at the many ships docked in the harbor.

Wow!

Yahiko placed his palm on his forehead, bouncing around like a monkey, looking down at the harbor with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "Wow, there are still so many ships here..."

He had never seen such a spectacular sight as nearly a thousand ships docked at the same time.

"Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near the sea live off the sea; it's all about adapting to local conditions."

Yun Chuan slowly stretched out his hand, raindrops splashing against it, causing him to squint and smile, "The environment in the Land of Rain is harsh, but it has its merits too."

The Land of Rain is located in the central part of the largest continent in the entire ninja world, bordering the three major countries of Fire, Wind, and Earth, and the three smaller countries of Grass, Bird, and River.

The border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain is a towering mountain range, meaning that the Land of Rain is protected by high mountains to the southwest, northwest, and west.

The two together form a mountain range shaped like a leaky valley, with the only opening facing the eastern part of the Land of Fire.

Compared to the cold ocean to the north of the Land of Frost, the ocean to the southeast of the Land of Fire is very mild and is one of the regions in the ninja world with abundant ocean currents and humid air.

The rich grain-producing areas of the Land of Fire demonstrate the influence of that ocean on the climate.

Therefore, the northwest monsoon over that ocean always brings a large amount of hot and humid air as it blows inland.

However, the mountains of the lands of Earth and Wind are too high, blocking the warm and humid air currents from the ocean. This forces the water-laden air currents to rise, where they condense into large amounts of orographic rain, which falls on the land of rain, causing concentrated rainfall.

Therefore, most of the lands of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are covered by barren rocky terrain and deserts, and their annual rainfall is less than one-tenth of that of the Land of Rain.

It is precisely this extreme topography that has created this "crying country".

The abundant rainfall converged into several rushing rivers, flowing like aortas to several surrounding countries.

"Therefore, the Land of Rain is uniquely suited to develop river transport."

After giving a brief explanation, Yun Chuan seemed somewhat helpless and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "However, in the end, we still can't compare to the Land of Fire..."

It seems that even Hashirama Senju, who was so naive as to give away the Tailed Beasts to other great nations, was not a completely brainless fool.

Of course, it could also be Tobirama Senju's idea; Yun Chuan really didn't have high expectations for Da Zhu Zi's intelligence.

"..."

"..."

"...Ah." Yahiko nodded thoughtfully. "I see."

Konan turned to look at him, her voice filled with surprise, "Yahiko, you understood?"

"Of course I understand," Yahiko said, raising his head as if it were a matter of course. "If we level the mountain between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, it won't rain anymore!"

You clearly don't understand!

Whose grave did you think they were leveling?

"Hahahaha!"

Just then, a hearty laugh suddenly came from inside the cabin.

Before Yahiko, who was startled, could turn around, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, child."

The man behind me grinned like a cunning old fox, his tone full of schadenfreude, saying, "You'll all learn these basic geographical facts later, hahaha."

"Huh? I... I can still get off the ship now... Hmm!"

Yahiko couldn't hold back any longer and was about to let out a childish howl when Jiyun, with a blank expression, covered his mouth from beside him.

Konan turned around, bowed slightly to the person behind Yahiko, and said awkwardly but apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yahiko, I've caused you trouble."

He was an old man with a full head of white hair, but not a hunched back, and a hearty smile on his face.

"Haha, don't be so polite. You are all children brought back by Lord Yun Chuan. From now on, we are all family."

The old man waved his hand casually, then looked at Yun Chuan, who was smiling but silent, and his attitude became unusually respectful: "I'm sorry, Lord Yun Chuan, I'm late today."

He didn't make excuses for being late; he was genuinely sorry for it.

Even if he was only a few minutes later than expected.

"Uncle Meiyu," Yun Chuan smiled helplessly, "Weren't you going to the Land of Water to transport goods today? You didn't need to come and pick me up."

"How can you call it trouble? I owe everything I am today to you."

The old man, named Meiyu, shook his head, his expression somewhat grim. "Moreover, the Land of Water has also encountered some trouble..."

Suddenly, Ji Yun asked, "Can you make a lot of money this way?"

Uncle Meiyu snapped out of his daze, looked at Jiyun's small face, and seemed to remember something. He smiled kindly and said modestly, "He probably earns more bounties than ordinary ninjas."

He then shook his head, his tone bitter, and said, "However, old folks like us are like duckweed; as soon as the wind blows, we disappear into the water. If it weren't for Lord Yun Chuan..."

On land, there are countless bandits who make a living by robbing caravans.

On rivers, there are naturally river pirates who make a living by robbing merchant ships.

Da da da!

"Brother Yun Chuan!"

A little girl who had just learned to walk, dressed in a loose cloth coat, stumbled over, held a bowl in front of Yun Chuan, and said in a childish voice, "Drink water."

"Thank you, Xiaoshiyu."

Yun Chuan smiled, patted the girl's head, and then took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

However, after putting down the bowl, his gaze slowly drifted into the distance.

"Seriously, the smell of blood is unbearable."

In the deep blue pupils, a ship of similar size was moored on the river, its hull seemingly shrouded in a pale red mist, looking like a ghost ship.
