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

The latest news from the distant war has arrived – Sunagakure, located in the southern part of the Land of Rain, has been razed to the ground by Jiang Ming, the new leader of the Land of Rain, to appease the souls of the innocent people of the Land of Rain who died in battle!

In addition, the daimyo of the Land of Wind who received Jiang Ming's letter was terrified by the other party's terrifying strength and ruthless threats.

He immediately disregarded the objections of many ministers around him and chose to sign the humiliating and unequal treaty.

The entire land of the Land of Wind was handed over to the Land of Rain for occupation and actual control.

This can be seen as a complete tacit acceptance of the outcome where the Land of Wind was annexed by the Land of Rain.

Just to ensure their own survival in this disaster.

They won't suffer the same "tragic death" as the Third Kazekage.

"I'm afraid I'm still living in a dream..."

At the same time, the daimyo of the Fire and Earth nations, as well as the Kage of the ninja villages, also received information that "the Land of Wind has been completely annexed by the Land of Rain."

A complex and shocked expression appeared on everyone's face.

"Is this intelligence really reliable?"

You must know, that's the Land of Wind!

It is a dominant nation, just like the Fire and Earth Great Nations, and is one of the Five Great Nations of the Ninja World!

Normally speaking, no matter how much the Rain Kingdom resists, it would be impossible for them to reach the mainland of the Wind Kingdom.

But right now, Jiang Ming, the newly appointed leader of the Rain Kingdom, refuses to believe this evil.

He single-handedly annihilated the large army of Sunagakure that had come to invade the southern border of the Land of Rain, with only three followers.

He then turned his attention to the Land of Wind, easily killing the Third Kazekage and countless powerful ninja from Sunagakure.

He razed the entire Sand Village to the ground, forcing the Daimyo of the Land of Wind to obediently admit defeat and bow down to Jiang Ming.

I'm willing to be his lapdog.

Just to have a chance to live.

"The ninja world has changed so much in just a few days..."

To annex the entire Wind Kingdom from within the confines of a small nation...

Such astonishing information truly terrified the high-ranking officials of the various ninja nations.

I subconsciously felt a sense of confusion and disbelief.

"The Land of Rain has truly undergone a complete transformation..."

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, the Land of Fire.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage at the time, sat silently in his office chair.

He took a few deep drags on his pipe with one hand, while fiddling with the intelligence document in front of him with the other.

At that moment, I felt incredibly depressed.

"It's hard to imagine that such a small country could produce a monster ninja like Jiang Ming..."

To single-handedly fight against an entire ninja world power...

He had only heard of such things from his teacher, Tobirama Senju.

Legend has it that at the very beginning of Konoha's founding, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, possessed terrifying strength that allowed him to single-handedly confront a major ninja nation and intimidate the entire ninja world.

At that time, countless ninjas throughout the ninja world dared not act recklessly against the creatures within the Land of Fire because Hashirama Senju was stationed in Konoha.

It brought unprecedented peace to the entire ninja world.

"This time, destiny has not chosen to stand on Konoha's side..."

Recalling the recent incident, the Konoha rescue team, led by Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, suddenly lost contact within the Land of Rain and failed to complete their mission as smoothly as they had anticipated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank to the bottom.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

He appeared quite sorrowful, sad, and conflicted...

"Tsunade and the others will be alright..."

No matter what, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were all excellent ninjas whom he personally trained.

It is sufficient to deal with most of the enemies and troubles in this ninja world.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse couldn't gain much advantage against the combined attack of the three.

On this basis, it goes without saying that the three of them also signed contracts with the three holy lands.

Each of them acquired extraordinary and wondrous abilities.

"Bang--!"

The door to the Hokage's office was once again kicked open from the outside without any warning.

Following them into the room were Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, the two Hokage advisors.

"Hiruzen, something terrible has happened!"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu started with zero frames and spoke as a human.

It begins with "Something terrible has happened" and ends with "Have you received this information about xxx?"

He told Hiruzen Sarutobi how deadly the threat posed by the Land of Rain to the Land of Fire was at that moment.

And this served as another reminder to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It's time to call back our old friend Danzo Shimura and stop him from lingering in the Land of Rain.

This became the pretext used by Jiang Ming, the new leader of the Land of Rain, to attack Konoha.

Then, just as they swallowed up the entire Land of Wind, they also swallowed up the Land of Fire.

That would be a huge problem for them...

"Please calm down a bit, I know what I'm doing."

While trying to drown his sorrows in cigarettes, Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane with his eyes to keep calm.

Don't make a fuss all the time; it makes it seem like the Konoha leadership has no depth whatsoever.

"As expected of you, Hiruzen..."

Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a different kind of emotion in her eyes.

No matter the situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi always manages to make the best arrangements while remaining calm and composed.

This was extremely appealing to Koharu Tsurugi.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi's appearance is average, his height and physique are very similar to a monkey...

That doesn't change the fact that he is indeed a very charming man.

"Koharu?"

As a long-time partner of Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado naturally noticed her unusual behavior.

He noticed that his old friend's gaze towards Hiruzen Sarutobi had become somewhat sly.

He immediately coughed a few times, interrupting Koharu's thoughts.

This brought her back to her senses, and she suddenly realized just how infatuated she had been.

This made Koharu, who is usually very assertive, blush.

Instinctively, I cast a grateful glance at my old partner, Mitokado Homura.

"How could I be so ridiculous..."

It should be noted that Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently a married man.

He and his wife, Sarutobi Biwako, had a very loving relationship.

There was absolutely no sign of it being broken.

In this situation, I actually developed feelings for Hiruzen Sarutobi, finding him quite charming...

It's simply defiling the purest camaraderie between her and Hiruzen Sarutobi!

This is truly unacceptable...

"Hiruzen, what are you planning to do?"

In Mitomon Homura's view, the entire historical landscape of the ninja world is about to be completely rewritten starting today.

The Land of Rain, which has always been regarded as a "strategic buffer zone" by the three major powers of the Fire, Earth, and Wind Ninja Worlds, is now a completely different place.

Under the leadership of Jiang Ming, the second-generation leader of the Rain Kingdom, the rise of the Rain Kingdom has become an indisputable fact.

Konoha really needs to re-examine its relationship with the Land of Rain.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes and ending up in a situation almost identical to that of the Land of Wind.
