"asshole!"
Kamakura, enraged at the death of his last comrade, slammed his fist into the ground, splashing mud and rainwater onto himself: "Another idiot who dared to challenge Lord Hanzo..."
Decades ago, Hanzo the Salamander was hailed as a demigod of ninjas by the ninja world, becoming the ninja closest to the First Hokage, the god of ninjas. As a result, he also encountered many assassination attempts and challenges.
The ninjas of Amegakure were used to it.
Kamakura had seen many naive young men who thought they were invincible just because they had mastered a few ninjutsu. They entered Amegakure and wanted to take Hanzo's head, but most of them were killed by Heiji, Hanzo's right-hand man.
Kamakura immediately thought that the boy in front of him, holding a bamboo umbrella, was also an idiot who didn't know his own limitations and wanted to become famous by defeating Lord Hanzo.
Instead of denying it, Uehara Naraku walked towards the Kamakura Chunin and chuckled, "You're only half right. I want to take Hanzo's head to pay tribute to those he killed... That old guy has lived long enough, hasn't he?"
"Damn it! How dare you insult Lord Hanzo!"
Kamakura gritted his teeth. As a member of the Rain Village ninja, he absolutely could not tolerate anyone insulting the ninja demigod they regarded as their pride.
Just as Uehara Naraku thought this guy was going to fight to the death, Kamakura swiftly threw out the kunai in his hand and formed hand seals: "Rain Concealment Technique!"
A plume of smoke rose from the rain…
Kamakura, being a ninja from Amegakure, is very skilled at fighting and escaping in torrential rain!
This guy is trying to escape!
Facing a formidable enemy who had killed all the ninja stationed at Amegakure's stronghold, Kamakura was well aware of his own strength.
That brat easily defeated six genin and one chunin, and he didn't even put down his bamboo umbrella during the fight!
"The intelligence must be sent back to the village..."
Kamakura's figure darted about, using the rising smoke to obscure Uehara's view, while he himself leaped into a crevice between rocks, a spot he had already chosen.
As an ordinary ninja, if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you must do your best to send information about the enemy to the higher-ups in the village.
This is the rule for ordinary ninjas.
The rain intensified.
Kamakura, a ninja from Amegakure, didn't dare to breathe loudly. He cautiously hid in the crevices of the rocks, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo umbrella gradually fade away.
Has that boy left?
Kamakura breathed a sigh of relief. He waited a while longer until he was absolutely certain that the boy had left before cautiously peeking out to observe his surroundings.
Apart from the splashes of water from the torrential rain, there was no sign of anyone on the ground.
Kamakura, the Chunin Captain of Amegakure, finally felt relieved and slowly walked out of the crevice between the rocks. Then he noticed that the rain seemed to have lessened a bit.
The sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo umbrella reached my ears once again…
The person hasn't left yet!
That boy is still here!
Kamakura suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky!
A dark figure appeared in the air, floating with a bamboo umbrella in hand, causing Kamakura's eyes to involuntarily narrow...
That brat, can he actually fly in the air?
Uehara Naraku landed with his bamboo umbrella, making sure he was looking Kamakura in the eye. He tilted his head and questioned, "Hey, even if you want to run away, shouldn't you at least ask for my opinion first?"
"..."
Kamakura was so shocked he couldn't contain himself. He stared wide-eyed at the boy with the bamboo umbrella in front of him, only managing to stammer, "You... sensed my location a long time ago..."
"yes."
Uehara Naraku nodded, took out a card from his hand, and stuck it into Kamakura's Amegakure headband.
The card, though thin, sliced through the iron ninja headband with exceptional sharpness and slowly pierced through it.
Kamakura watched his movements with trembling hands, not daring to move an inch in the face of an enemy who could not be predicted by common sense.
Kamakura could clearly feel a shallow cut on his forehead, and blood was slowly seeping out from the gaps in his headband.
Just as Kamakura thought he was about to be killed, Uehara Naraku stopped and said softly, "Alright, remember to tell Hanzo of the Salamander when you get back that he escaped death twelve years ago, but this time, he won't escape."
Kamakura muttered blankly, "...Why...why didn't you kill me...who exactly are you...?"
"Hmm..."
Uehara Naraku pondered for a moment, then held up one finger and explained earnestly, "Maybe... I'm a kind person?"
If it were a little over a month ago, when Uehara Naraku first arrived in the ninja world, he might indeed have been a kind person; but after living in the Land of Rain, he realized that kind people couldn't survive in the ninja world, so he could only become a bit of an oddball.
Once a person has witnessed the collapse of the world, the flower of evil will begin to bloom. The malice hidden in human nature will drive him to become a human being who cannot distinguish between good and evil.
"...Kind...good?"
Kamakura couldn't help but lower his head and look at the Rain Ninja corpses lying all around him. What kind of kindness was this?!
Uehara Naraku landed on the ground, waving his bamboo umbrella, and walked step by step into the downpour. Halfway there, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and chuckled, "Instead of killing you all, wouldn't it be more effective to leave you alone to spread our fear to Hanzo of the Salamander?"
"you!"
Kamakura was still in shock.
Uehara Naraku waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Hanzo the Salamander that the avengers from twelve years ago are coming back to claim his life!"
After he finished speaking, the boy holding the bamboo umbrella slowly disappeared from Kamakura's sight, leaving behind a mess.
"That happened twelve years ago..."
Kamakura collapsed to his knees in the rain, recalling an old story from Amegakure.
Twelve years ago, Hanzo the Salamander led many trusted Amegakure ninja on a mission, the specifics of which are unknown.
However, apart from Hanzo, the other Amegakure ninja never returned; from then on, Hanzo also issued an order to hunt down the Akatsuki; but the Amegakure ninja never found any trace of the Akatsuki, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.
Are the Akatsuki members here to seek revenge?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier…
Just as Uehara Naraku finished his task, he saw sheets of paper, wet with rain, fluttering by and coalescing into a figure of a woman with light blue hair. The woman's temples were wet with rain and clung tightly to her face.
It was his teacher.
Konan reached out and took the bamboo umbrella from Uehara Naraku, pulling him close so they could share the umbrella and shelter from the rain.
"I saw it all just now."
Konan looked down at Uehara Naraku, put her arm around his shoulder, and softly praised the boy beside her: "Naraku, well done."
"No, it's because Teacher Xiao Nan taught so well."
