Konoha: I was living a peaceful life, but was backstabbed by the system

However, as they approached the Rain Province, they discovered many traces of fighting on the trees on both sides of the road.

It should be that the wave of ninjas a few days ago were ambushed by ronin on the way.

Everyone was a little nervous for a moment, worried that their brothers would be injured or sacrificed.

Discussions began within the team, with people speculating which side had won.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. We will arrive at the Rain Province soon. If you have any questions, just ask the Hokage's clone directly. Speculating like this will only waste your energy."

Jiraiya stopped the ninjas from whispering before the situation could escalate.

The tone was not particularly good, and the ninjas behind him were shocked and immediately shut up.

The leader then said: "Master Jiraiya is right. I believe that the ninjas of our Konoha Village will not be harmed by the ronin. You should also have some confidence in your brothers."

The captain is undoubtedly the good guy. With him and Jiraiya, one white and one red, working together, everyone immediately feels relieved.

"Yes, the captain is right. We should hurry on our way."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Correct!"

Jiraiya, who was leading the charge, smiled and silently gave a thumbs up to the captain in his heart.

During the rest of the journey, nothing happened within the team, and we had a smooth journey all the way to the border of the Rain Province.

This is a magical place. The sky was clear in the Fire Nation, but when they arrived near the border, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The road became muddy and the surrounding grass turned into swampy puddles that posed a hazard.

You can get caught if you're not careful.

"Everyone, pay attention, adjust your formation, follow my steps closely, and don't enter the grass."

Jiraiya had been to Rain Province many times, and he knew very well how disgusting the terrain there was.

Some of these ninjas are veterans who have participated in the war against the Rain Country.

Some of them were promoted to Jonin in recent years. Although they had never participated in it, they had heard of the harsh terrain of the Rain Country.

So we are very careful.

This was Minato's first time in the Rain Country. Since this place was completely autonomous, he had never been here to carry out a mission.

You can get caught if you're not careful.

"Everyone, pay attention, adjust your formation, follow my steps closely, and don't enter the grass."

Jiraiya had been to Rain Province many times, and he knew very well how disgusting the terrain there was.

Some of these ninjas are veterans who have participated in the war against the Rain Country.

Some of them were promoted to Jonin in recent years. Although they had never participated in it, they had heard of the harsh terrain of the Rain Country.

So we are very careful.

This was Minato's first time in the Rain Country. Since this place was completely autonomous, he had never been here to carry out a mission.

But Tofu had told him about the situation here, and that Yahiko and Konan had once lived here.

It is also said that the terrain and climate here are extremely harsh, so the water gate must be built with extra caution.

Everyone moved forward along the muddy road, and their speed became much slower. Their pants were also soiled by the splashing mud and water, but no one cared about these things. They just wanted to get to the Rain Kingdom as soon as possible.

"Damn it, the rain keeps falling. It will get even heavier once we enter the Rain Province. It's really hard to deal with."

A senior ninja couldn't help but complain that this time, without Feng's ninjutsu to shield them from the rain, they would definitely suffer on this trip to the Rainy Province.

But there is no other way. When they are out on a mission, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly, and they cannot rely on the wind all the time.

"Just bear with it. Compared to the unification of the country, a little rain is nothing. It will be fine once we enter the city."

It is known to the entire Konoha Village that Qufeng likes sunny days. Since he became Hokage, there has been basically no rain or snow in Konoha Village.

There were only a few times when the rain dropped, and the villagers could count them on their fingers.

"Yeah, I have to change my clothes then. It's really uncomfortable to be wet all over."

Complaints are welcome, but the journey still has to continue.

The ninjas soon entered the Rain Province, and as they went deeper, the rain in the sky became heavier.

The road was no longer filled with mud, but was filled with water.

The kind that doesn't go above the ankles undoubtedly slows down the ninjas' movement.

Although there were still grasslands on both sides of the road, they had long been soaked by rain and turned into wetlands.

The grass and leaves here are translucent, and the years of accumulated water have gradually transformed them into aquatic plants.

It can be said that this is a manifestation of the tenacity of life. Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the entire Rain Country, and lakes can be said to be everywhere.

But there are also rocky landforms, but they are rare and only exist near the Land of Earth.

"I really don't know how people here live. The clothes they wear every day are damp and can't be dried at all, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe they have already gotten used to this kind of life."

The Rain Country currently uses hydropower to generate electricity, but it can only supply the main cities built by the three countries on their own land, the central main city, and the villages built by immigrants from various countries.

The rest of the small villages have no electricity supply at all, but only some basic water facilities.

After all, the villages here are too backward, and some of the houses in the village leak.

If this accidentally drops on an electrical appliance, the whole family will be in trouble.

So considering the safety issues, Kakuzu did not install electrical appliances for them.

Facts have proved that his decision was correct. Now nearly half of the people in these villages have run away, and were all kidnapped and became ronin at the call of someone.

Apart from some useless old people, even children and women were abducted.

"I know everyone is feeling uncomfortable, but bear with it. Even if it's still raining in the city, there will definitely be fireplaces in the houses. And we don't have to carry out any missions today, so everyone can have a good meal and rest for the night."

The captain's words undoubtedly re-energized the ninjas, and they quickened their pace.

Jiraiya did not say a word the entire time and led the way attentively. Because of the rain, visibility was already very low. The roads in the Rain Country were complicated and they could only use the lake as a reference.

But there are surprisingly many lakes here, so he has to be extremely careful to make sure he doesn't take the wrong path.

Minato Yahiko and the others just followed Jiraiya without complaining.

Yahiko and Konan would look up at the sky from time to time: "It's still the same as always, the Rain Country, the sky covered by dark clouds is still so depressing."

It is inevitable to have some emotions when revisiting the old country.

Seeing the gloomy sky, Yahiko and Konan couldn't help but recall the days when they had to survive by stealing things on the streets.

"If we didn't have our master, we would probably still be struggling in this sea of ​​suffering."

Konan turned to look at Yahiko and patted his shoulder: "Yes, so we have to become useful people and help Master."

Yahiko smiled after hearing this, and then continued to run towards the heavy rain ahead.

Although the sky of the Rain Kingdom is still gray, he is no longer a person here.

He had seen the blue sky a long time ago.

After walking for a while, they suddenly found that the rain was gradually getting lighter.

A city can be vaguely seen ahead.

"Everyone, it seems we have arrived." Jiraiya said with a smile.

After confirming that there was indeed a city ahead, the team leader was also very happy: "Everyone, there really is a city ahead. Let's speed up and get into the city quickly."

In fact, when they got here, many ninjas already had some memories of the endless lake around them, and they had been here before.

But the city ahead is different from what it was back then. It must have been renovated later.

Everyone quickened their pace and started running quickly.

Then, they passed through a heavy rain curtain, and everyone was soaked.

Just when everyone was about to curse, they found that the rain had stopped.

There was no rain around. Looking up at the sky, although there were still some dark clouds, it was obvious that these clouds were very thin.

And looking towards the city, they actually saw the blue sky!

There was not a single cloud in the sky above the entire city. The blue sky and the somewhat dim sunset were completely out of tune with the land of the Rain Kingdom.

But it appeared here.

"It's Hokage-sama! It has to be Hokage-sama. Only he can do this."

The ninjas had no doubt at all that there was no one else in the world who could do this. It was almost a miracle.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Well, never mind who did it, let's get into the city quickly. It's really uncomfortable to be soaked all over."

After saying that, Jiraiya quickened his pace, and the other ninjas quickly followed, rushing towards the central city.

Chapter 682 Arrival at Central City

There was not a single cloud in the sky above the entire city. The azure blue sky and bright sunshine were totally out of tune with the land of the Rain Kingdom.

But it appeared here.

"It's Hokage-sama! It has to be Hokage-sama. Only he can do this."

The ninjas had no doubt at all that there was no one else in the world who could do this. It was almost a miracle.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Well, never mind who did it, let's get into the city quickly. It's really uncomfortable to be soaked all over."

After saying that, Jiraiya quickened his pace, and the other ninjas quickly followed, rushing towards the central city.

The ninja team rushed all the way and arrived at the city in less than ten minutes.

The guard team at the city gate was composed of ninjas from three villages. Jiraiya and his men were also stopped for inspection.

"Are you ninjas from Konoha Village?" asked the leading Iwagakure ninja.
