Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"What is that thing...?"

On the ruins of a mine in the northern part of the Rain Country.

Having just wiped out the Iwa ninja entrenched near the No. 3 granary of the Land of Rain, and knowing that the garrison at the northern mines of the Land of Rain had been completely wiped out by Konoha ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander led a group of Rain ninja troops to this place day and night.

They witnessed the huge spherical meteorite hovering above the northern mines of the Rain Kingdom, occasionally scattering bits of rock and dirt.

A storm of emotions surged within me.

As a ninja, one's vigilance is at its peak.

His gaze swept across the surroundings with trembling intensity.

A look of astonishment crossed his face.

"Why is such a huge meteorite hovering above the mines in the northern part of the Rain Kingdom?"

Two days ago, Hanzo of the Salamander led his Rain Ninja forces in a battle against Danzo Shimura and his more than 600 Konoha ninja.

At that time, the sky over the northern mines of the Land of Rain was calm.

There was absolutely no indication that a meteorite was about to appear.

But now, only two days have passed.

A massive meteorite, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression, inexplicably appeared in the sky above the northern mines of the Rain Country.

It was as if, at any moment, this meteorite lurking above the land of rain would crash down.

The mineral veins upon which the people of this rain-soaked land depend for their livelihood were ground into dust.

It destroyed countless families and normal lives.

"Lord Hanzo, what should we do next?"

Looking at the giant meteorite hanging in the sky like a natural disaster.

The surrounding rain ninjas all trembled with fear and unease.

"keep Calm!"

Suddenly, Hanzo the Salamander spoke, bringing them back to their senses.

He stepped forward as a "backbone".

To guide them through their difficulties.

"Lord Hanzo..."

Out of absolute trust in Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of the Land of Rain.

All the Rain Ninja present perked up and focused their attention on Hanzo.

I hope to get a definite instruction from him.

Suppress your panic for now.

"call......"

Hanzo took a deep breath.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly as she forcefully suppressed the worry and fear surging within her.

On the surface, he maintained a calm and serious demeanor, and his tone deliberately remained authoritative.

He methodically issued instructions to the ninjas behind him.

"Rumi, lead one hundred Rain Ninja to the nearby residential area to evacuate the residents."

"yes!"

Hasumi, a Jonin from Amegakure, accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.

He immediately led his Rain Ninja to leap out from the ranks.

The group's toes touched the ravaged ruins, their movements as swift as the wind.

In just a few breaths, it transformed into hundreds of black shadows.

They disappeared from Hanzo's and the others' sight.

"Asagiri, you will lead ten ninjas to guard this place and keep a close watch on the meteorite's movements. You must not let your guard down for even a moment."

After assigning the task of evacuating the people to Hasumi, Hanzo immediately turned his gaze to Asagiri, the last Jonin of Amegakure, and gave him an order in a serious tone.

"You must report the meteorite's status to Amegakure every twelve hours. In case of special circumstances... you may make your own decisions!"

"yes!"

Chaowu responded in a deep voice, immediately bowed and accepted the order, his expression solemn, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Qingchuan".

"I am here."

This time, the ninja who appeared behind Hanzo, awaiting his orders, was of high rank and power.

He was someone who steadfastly followed Hanzo the Salamander even before Hanzo decided to drive away "the foreign ninjas who were causing trouble in Amegakure."

Even now, Harukawa Yuunosuke, a high-ranking official in Amegakure who enjoys the deep trust of Hanzo and holds the position of "Amegakure Assistant," is still highly regarded.

"You have been by my side for quite some time now, and you are a high-ranking member of my Rain Village. You are steady, reliable, and trustworthy..."

Hanzo turned to look at him.

His gaze held both the majesty of the leader of the Rain Kingdom and an indescribable trust and complex emotions.

"Today you will stay here and lead half of the Rain Ninja to guard the area. Your core task is to prevent the Konoha ninja from taking the opportunity to invade, and to keep a close watch on all movements around the mine and the meteorite. You must not be negligent in the slightest."

"Yes, sir!"

Harukawa, a high-ranking member of Amegakure nearing forty, bowed and accepted the order with a firm and resolute tone.

"Please rest assured, Lord Hanzo, I will guard this place well and will not allow any Konoha ninja to break through this defensive line and advance on Amegakure behind us!"

"Um."

Hanzo nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at the rest of the Rain Ninja and gave the order in a deep voice.

"The rest of you, come with me back to Amegakure to prepare so that we can be on standby at any time."

"Yes, sir Hanzo!"

The next second, the Rain Ninja forces behind Hanzo split in two.

Some stayed here to build a defensive line with Harukawa Yuukosuke, a high-ranking member of Amegakure.

To prevent Konoha ninjas from advancing unimpeded and directly threatening Amegakure behind them.

Some followed in Hanzo's footsteps, speeding towards Amegakure behind them.

The continuous battles had left these Rain Ninjas physically and mentally exhausted.

I desperately want to get some rest.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"I wonder if that brat Jiang Ming listened to me and obediently stayed in the secret chamber of Rain Village to give birth..."

Admittedly, Hanzo of the Salamander ordered his troops to return to Amegakure so that they could rest and recuperate in preparation for the upcoming battle.

What concerned him even more was whether Jiang Ming, the user of the bloodline limit, had obeyed him.

To continue his bloodline through sowing seeds.

To prevent his [bloodline limit] from being completely severed in this exceptionally brutal war.

"I, along with my ninjas, are fighting desperately on the front lines to protect the Land of Rain."

"On the other hand, Jiang Ming is doing quite well, enjoying the comforts of the home front without having to face the dangers of war or assassinations by foreign ninjas..."

At this moment, Hanzo the Salamander was genuinely envious of Jiang Ming's good fortune.

If Jiang Ming weren't a user of a bloodline limit, he would probably still be fighting on the front lines like him and most of the Rain Ninja.

They lived a precarious existence, barely surviving.

Right now, the fact that he possesses a [bloodline limit] has indeed helped him avoid a lot of trouble.

The opponent's bloodline limit is unique in Amegakure.

Before he could successfully pass on his bloodline, Hanzo the Salamander would never allow Jiang Ming to set foot on the battlefield.

Facing a bloody storm.

"I hope that kid will give this old man a surprise when I return to the village this time..."

Ideally, Jiang Ming would be surprised to learn that he is about to become a father.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to his expectations and to his and his subordinates' Rain Ninja who risked their lives on the front lines—all to create an exceptionally stable environment for Jiang Ming, so that he could have children without any worries!

"I have sacrificed so much for Amegakure..."

At this moment, Hanzo's heart was filled with complex emotions, but even more so with a hopeful expectation for the future of the Land of Rain.
