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

Basic World, Amegakure Village at four in the morning.

Hanzo the Salamander, the first leader of the Land of Rain at the time, was still awake.

Instead, he stood at the highest point of Amegakure, braving the biting wind and icy rain to survey the backward village that had been ravaged by war.

A wave of weariness washed over me.

"In less than a few hours, my era will be over..."

Hanzo was born during the poorest and most chaotic period of Amegakure.

At that time, the leaders of Amegakure were determined to create a biological weapon that was "immune to all poisons".

It was used to intimidate the surrounding small ninja villages that were eyeing them covetously, preventing them from making any rash moves.

Thus, the ruthless Amegakure leadership set their sights on the young Hanzo and a highly poisonous black salamander in the village.

After the highly poisonous black salamander died, the leaders of Amegakure immediately ordered the venom sacs inside its body to be removed.

The poison sac was then transplanted into the young Hanzo.

As time goes by, it flies by.

The poison sac gradually merged with Hanzo, who had now fully grown.

This caused him to produce extremely deadly toxins even with the most ordinary breathing.

This caused all the villagers of Amegakure to be filled with fear and disgust towards him.

In order not to harm the lives of his fellow villagers, Hanzo was forced to wear a gas mask and breathe through his mouth.

And this gas mask has been worn for decades.

It's still there now and hasn't been taken off...

"Never mind..."

Hanzo muttered to himself, a hint of relief and satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"The path of Amegakure must ultimately be walked by those who follow..."

Each generation has its own mission.

Hanzo's mission is to ensure Jiang Ming's safety and protect the entire Rain Kingdom before Jiang Ming grows up!

Hanzo has kept the vow he made as a boy ever since...

Now, this elderly man, nearing fifty and whose physical condition is not what it used to be, has made up his mind to hand over the village, which he has painstakingly protected for most of his life, and even the entire country, to Jiang Ming.

This country is ruled by a young man who possesses an incredible bloodline limit and can continuously create surprises and miracles.

Leading the people of this country towards a new future filled with happiness and prosperity...

......

At nine o'clock in the morning, Hanzo covered his chakra in the rain of Amegakure.

Using each "raindrop" as a medium, a notice is issued to all the rain ninjas and villagers in the village.

Tell them—go to the training ground in Amegakure as fast as you can, he has a major decision to announce!

"Does Lord Hanzo have something to say?"

Upon hearing this, countless Rain Ninjas who were resting at home and wiping their ninja tools stood up without hesitation.

With a wave of his hand, he put on his ninja uniform, trousers, and shoes all at once.

He picked up the ninja tool pouch next to him and tied it around his waist.

The entire set of movements was fluid and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.

Almost all of them stepped out of their homes as quickly as they could.

Whether traversing slippery streets or leaping over towering buildings...

In short, all the Rain Ninja who had just returned with Hanzo yesterday to prepare were rushing to the training ground as fast as they could.

He tried to respond to Hanzo the Salamander's orders with his loyalty.

"Slow down, don't fall!"

As the leader of the Land of Rain, Hanzo the Salamander enjoys unparalleled credibility and personal charisma throughout the entire Amegakure village.

Countless villagers of Yuyin Village spontaneously put down their work and gradually left their homes.

Braving the torrential rain, we hurried toward the playground in the center of the village.

"You all said that Lord Hanzo summoned us to the training ground; what important decision does he have to announce?"

Soon, countless Rain Ninja and Amegakure villagers arrived at the training ground.

They all sought out people they knew well to gather together and whisper among themselves.

For a moment, the sounds of discussion, speculation, children's laughter, and the clattering of ping-pong balls mixed with the cold rain.

The crowd lingered on the vast playground, growing increasingly lively and noisy.

"quiet--!!!!!!"

Just then, several Rain Ninjas standing at the front seemed to detect a heavy yet familiar chakra fluctuation.

He immediately raised his voice to warn the Rain Ninja and the people of Amegakure behind him to keep quiet.

Do not interrupt Hanzo-sama's upcoming speech.

"Whoosh—!"

Suddenly, a dark figure wearing a gas mask appeared on the podium, which overlooked the entire playground.

The visitor was none other than Hanzo the Salamander, the guardian deity of the people of Amegakure and the undisputed founder and leader of the Land of Rain!

"It's...it's Lord Hanzo—!"

Compared to those Rain Ninja who, to varying degrees, fought alongside Hanzo.

The residents of Amegakure, who are considered "non-combatants" in the Land of Rain, displayed an even more excited and fervent attitude.

"Buzz—!"

Just then, Jiang Ming, who had been assisting Nagato and Konan in handling the accumulated political affairs of Amegakure in the [Parallel World No. 1], returned to this [Basic World] with the two of them, Nohara Rin, and Pain.

It happened to coincide perfectly with the time when Hanzo was about to give his farewell speech.

"Are we not too late?"

Faced with Jiang Ming's warm inquiry, Hanzo simply shook his head.

It implies that they arrived at just the right time.

"who is he?"

Unlike the other Amegakure ninja who knew that Jiang Ming was the only user of the [Bloodline Limit] in Amegakure.

Most of the villagers present had never seen each other before.

He couldn't understand why such a young guy was qualified to talk to Lord Hanzo.

Standing with him on that podium, overlooking the masses.

"Is the message to promote Jiang Ming and make strategic deployments, or to reveal that Jiang Ming is a bloodline limit user?"

At this moment, many of the Rain Ninja present were already secretly calculating—what was Hanzo's intention in having Jiang Ming show up this time...?

A completely unknown genin before this, if it weren't for the fact that he was the only user of the [Bloodline Limit] in Amegakure.

I'm afraid I'm simply not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Hanzo and have a proper conversation...

"Before I begin my speech, I have a question for you..."

Standing on the huge podium that overlooked the entire playground, Hanzo suppressed the complex emotions and exhaustion in his heart.

He asked the question in front of countless people present.

"Who among you... remembers when I came to power?"

Upon hearing this, all the Rain Ninja and villagers present began to discuss it animatedly.

Each person shared their own insights.

Some say he was in power for twenty years.

Some say he ruled for thirty years.

Some even say he has been in power for forty or fifty years...

But no one could give a precise number to soothe Hanzo the Salamander's somewhat disappointed and secretly heartbroken heart...
