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

"Pat-pat, pat-pat, pat..."

The weather in Amegakure Village has always been unpredictable.

One second it might be sunny and clear, but the next second it could be cloudy and pouring rain.

There was absolutely no sign that it was going to rain.

"It's so cold..."

Outside the main gate of Amegakure, two figures stood side by side, letting the dense raindrops pelt them, their gazes fixed firmly on the distance.

"I once thought that Lord Jiang Ming would one day launch a coup against Lord Hanzo..."

"But I never expected this day to come so suddenly..."

The white, misty breath that had just escaped from Aoi Ibuki's lips was immediately dispersed by the cold rain falling from the sky.

This rain was formed when Jiang Ming ordered Kakuzu to release a fire-style ninjutsu into the clouds above the sky to induce water vapor condensation, in order to better coordinate with Nagato's activation of the "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique".

In every drop of rain, there is a wisp of Nagato's chakra.

Anything that gets wet from this rain will be precisely sensed by Nagato, who is in a secret room in Amegakure.

"Don't overthink it, Ibuki."

Tsuchino Juzo took a deep breath and looked into the distance at Hanzo the Salamander, who was breaking through the rain and rushing towards the main gate of Amegakure, along with half of the Amegakure ninja forces behind him.

My heart was filled with tension and solemnity.

"Lord Hanzo and the others... have arrived—!"

Before long, Hanzo the Salamander led half of the Rain Ninja forces behind him to the main gate of Amegakure.

He saw Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi standing at the main gate of Amegakure, protecting the village even in the rain, waiting for his return.

He was immediately moved and walked over with a look of satisfaction, patting the two of them on the shoulder.

Just as he was about to praise their dedication, Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi, both with serious expressions, grabbed his left and right hands respectively.

"What...what do you mean by this?"

Hanzo's eyes were icy.

I find it hard to understand why my two right-hand men, Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi, would do something so offensive.

"Lord Hanzo, may I speak with you in private?"

"Lord Hanzo, please come with us."

Compared to the quick-witted and meticulous Ibuki Aoi.

Tsuchino Juzo's personality is a bit too direct; he always says what he thinks and doesn't understand the art and importance of language at all.

"Shall I go with you?"

Hanzo's voice came from inside the gas mask.

His rough, hoarse voice carried a chilling undertone.

Even the way she looked at Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi was no longer as calm as before.

Instead, it was filled with contempt and arrogance.

"In just two days, your wings have grown quite strong, daring to speak so arrogantly before this old man..."

One asked to speak privately, while the other threatened to make him go with them...

Do Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi really not know who's in charge of this village and even this country?

To dare to be so presumptuous in front of me... they really need to be taught a lesson!

"Lord Hanzo, please calm down a bit. You know Tsuchino can't speak properly!"

Seeing Hanzo's increasingly dangerous gaze, Ibuki Aoi immediately realized that Tsuchino Juzo, that idiot, had said the wrong thing.

He quickly spoke up to calm Hanzo down.

And take remedial measures as appropriate.

"Actually, it's not that we've become too powerful and want to act recklessly."

"Instead, a high-ranking member of Amegakure asked us to inform you to come to the Amegakure leader's office for a meeting, which is why we said that."

Just minutes earlier, Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi had simultaneously received Jiang Ming's orders in Amegakure.

He ordered them to guard the main gate of Amegakure and wait for Hanzo the Salamander to return.

Convey to him that someone is waiting for him in the Rain Village leader's office!

Throughout the entire process, no disputes should be made with Hanzo, and it is even more important to avoid causing a disturbance.

Jiang Ming wanted to maintain firm control of the situation, not disrupt the existing order of Yuyin Village.

This caused widespread fear and anxiety among the villagers, leaving them unable to find peace day after day.

"interesting......"

Hanzo smiled.

But he was so angry that he laughed.

"Which high-ranking official has the audacity to order you around, daring to wait for me in my office for a chat?"

Hanzo's eyes were icy cold, and his face, hidden beneath the gas mask, grew increasingly grim.

He racked his brains but couldn't find any high-ranking member of Amegakure who could command Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi.

Just two days ago, all the high-ranking members of Amegakure went out to fight with him.

How could there possibly be a high-ranking official remaining in Amegakure to issue orders to his two right-hand men?

Just thinking about it makes it clear that this is impossible...

"Neither Tsuchino nor I have any reason to lie to you about this matter, Lord Hanzo."

Aoi Ibuki's intelligence is more than sufficient.

Knowing that Jiang Ming's most pressing need is to control the situation, maintain order within Yuyin Village, and prevent the people from experiencing burdens and panic.

Therefore, in order to successfully complete the task assigned by Jiang Ming...

Ibuki Aoi immediately patted her chest and assured Hanzo that she was not lying.

And he staked his life on it.

"I'll trust you this once."

In Hanzo's view, neither Ibuki Aoi nor Tsuchino Juzo posed any threat to him.

Rather than killing them both directly, it would be better to go with them to their leader's office to find out what's going on.

Anyway, he knew all the secret doors and mechanisms there.

He remembered the general layout of the entire room and every single detail perfectly.

If someone tries to ambush me there...

That's like lighting a lamp in a latrine—it's suicidal!

"You may all disperse and return to your own homes to prepare."

The next second after deciding to go to his office to find out what was going on.

Hanzo immediately turned around and gave orders to the half of the Rain Ninja troops behind him.

They were allowed to return home first to prepare.

There's no need to keep following your own pace.

"yes--!"

Soon, the Rain Ninja, having received Hanzo's orders, took action.

The orderly procession avoided the figures of Hanzo, Tsuchino Juzo, and Ibuki Aoi as they entered Amegakure.

I plan to enjoy some quality time away from the battlefield and relax...

"Now, come with me to my office to find out what's going on."

After seeing off the Rain Ninja troops behind him, Hanzo immediately pulled his hands off the shoulders of Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi with a forceful movement.

His gaze was cold as he looked at the towering buildings in the distance.

An unnamed fire rose in my heart.

"this......"

Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi exchanged a glance.

In the end, a compromise was made.

"Let's do as you say, Lord Hanzo."

Although the two have now sided with Jiang Ming.

However, they still held some respect and gratitude in their hearts for their "former master," Hanzo the Salamander.

That's why they addressed Hanzo politely as "Sir" when they met him.

Instead of calling him by his name "Hanzo".

In the ninja world, the strong are respected.

Strong individuals, regardless of their field, are highly respected.

This is especially true for those who possess a certain aura and have sufficient strength...
