Chapter 512: Unexpected Person
The name Kiba was unknown in the ninja world in the early years, but in these years, it has become more and more famous as the Amegakure Village has grown again.
Especially in the Third Ninja World War that just ended, there was a brief battle with the Kingdom of Earth. The power unleashed by the Kingdom of Rain even surpassed that of Hanzo the Sanshouyu.
Among them, the most famous one is Yuying, who is called Ya.
That sword that shone in the thunderstorm shocked the entire Earth Kingdom, forcing them to finally retreat.
According to outside rumors, during that battle, the fang of Yuyin Village showed sword power that surpassed that of the Iron Kingdom. He cut the ground and the desert in front of him in half with one sword, shocking the world.
That was a shocking sword strike that the entire ninja world had never seen before.
In Xia Le's words just now, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all when he mentioned Ya. It was obvious that he already knew the other person and was quite familiar with and understood everything about the Country of Rain.
"You, you know Ya?!"
Fugaku said in shock.
"certainly!"
"Not only do I know him, in fact, you all know him."
Xia Le said with a smile.
"What?"
Fugaku's eyes widened, and then his eyes changed.
This rain shadow called Ya really made him curious.
"What, don't you want to make a movie? Fugaku!"
Xia Le spoke again, with a smile in his words.
But everyone could feel from his tone that he was not joking.
"I want to meet Ya first."
Fugaku took a deep breath.
At this moment, he was unusually calm, suppressing the excitement and inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
film!
It was once a persistent thought in his heart, but it was eventually extinguished ruthlessly. For that position, he had made many efforts and had given up all expectations and hopes.
Now, the man in front of me made the promise so easily.
Just one word can become the shadow of Yuyin Village?
Although he is just a shadow of the Kingdom of Rain, if it is left to him and with the support of the Uchiha clan, it will only be a matter of time before he rises in the future.
"sure!"
Xia Le smiled slightly.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Although they were confused, they didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, they only felt that the familiar Uchiha strongest man had become a stranger. Not only is it unfathomable in terms of strength, but its plans for the future are even more difficult to see through.
After a while, Yuying, wearing a coir raincoat, walked in.
As he entered, everyone in the izakaya fell silent.
"It's Yuying's people!"
"Since that man took over, he has trained a large number of ninjas from the original Land of Rain, and recruited displaced orphans to provide them with food, clothing, and training."
"As time went on, several groups of wandering ninjas were absorbed."
"Today's Rain Country's combat power even surpasses that of the demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo's time. Ya's talents and strategies are so great that even people from the five major countries have to treat them with caution."
"······"
Low whispers came out and echoed in everyone's ears.
Involuntarily, Fugaku looked at the person coming.
The rain ninja wearing a rain hat had a clear goal and strode towards them.
When he came in front of everyone, he took off the hat on his head, revealing his red hair and the scar on his face. After smiling slightly, he spoke aloud.
"Master Yuying invites you, please come with me."
Fugaku was startled and looked at Xia Le.
"Let's go! It seems that he has noticed our arrival!"
Xia Le stood up slowly and said with a smile.
Everyone stood up one after another and put their bamboo hats on their heads to cover their faces.
The red-haired ninja also put on a hat and walked at the front.
"My name is Ida, you can trust me completely."
Hearing this, Xia Le nodded.
"There should be people like you everywhere in the entire Yuyin Village, right?"
Ida nodded: "Although there are not enough ANBU ninjas like Konoha and other big countries, the forces in the streets and alleys are all under our control."
"So, whenever an outsider enters, Master Ya will know it immediately."
Xia Le smiled and asked again: "Where is Orochimaru?"
"Lord Orochimaru secretly established a laboratory where no outsiders are allowed to enter."
Ida said.
The brief conversation between the two made everyone present wide-eyed.
Wait, whose name did they hear?
Orochimaru? !
Why is one of Konoha's Sannin here?
Involuntarily, Fugaku and others all looked at Xia Le, wanting to wait for his explanation. But the latter just chuckled and showed no tendency to explain.
"If all the adults join us in the Kingdom of Rain, we will be much stronger."
"Although resources are currently insufficient due to limitations of land area, it will definitely get better and better in the future."
"Konoha was only built from a small village."
Ida said with a smile, ambition shining in his eyes.
These words made Fugaku couldn't help but look up at him.
Obviously, the ninja who stayed by Kiba's side had considerable ambitions and ambitions.
"Do you want to build the Kingdom of Rain into an existence comparable to the five major countries?"
he asked in a deep voice.
Ida was startled, then smiled and said, "I just hope that the common people in this country can live a happy and peaceful life."
“And only with great power can peace be within reach.”
Fugaku was stunned by these words, but he quickly came to his senses and looked at the other person again.
Strength is the first guardian of peace!
If you are weak, you can only be beaten passively.
This is an eternal truth in the world.
But what he didn't expect was that just one of Ya's close confidants already understood this truth so deeply, and had ambitions to build Yuyin Village into a large village comparable to the five major countries.
In his mind, perhaps only the first generation of Konoha, the founders of the village, had such ambitions.
More important than strength is the belief that wants to create, build, and defend.
For a moment, Fugaku fell into silence.
He remembered again what Xia Le had said before, making him the shadow of this ninja village.
If all the ninjas in this village hold such a belief, then such a Kage is worthy of being regarded as worthy of his full efforts.
But the premise is that he wants to meet the mysterious Yu Yingya.
Does the other party listen to Xia Le's words? Will he encounter resistance if he serves as the shadow of the Kingdom of Rain?
He was too impressed by the political repression he encountered in Konoha.
After a while, everyone followed Ida to the steel building in the center of Yuyin Village, with a room with the word "rain" engraved on the eaves.
The door was quickly opened, and the scene inside came into view for everyone.
The simple house contained only a wooden table, a mountain of paper documents, and a middle-aged man with his head lowered and immersed in reading the documents.
Hearing the door open, the man raised his head, his hat symbolizing the shadow swaying, revealing a face that was familiar to everyone.
"Xia Le!!"
"You finally came!"
When the man saw the crowd, he took a deep breath and said loudly with excitement.
Fugaku was completely stunned and said blankly: "Sakumo!?"
The others were also stunned and remained silent for a long time.
This appeared in the Land of Rain, in the Rain Shadow's office in the Hidden Rain Village. The mysterious person who was rumored outside, who could it be if it wasn't Sakumo?
Who would have thought that the legendary Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang who disappeared into the leaves, would hide his name and transform himself into the shadow of Amegakure Village?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"It's me, Captain Fugaku!"
Hatake Sakumo laughed.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the red-haired Ida standing outside: "Ida, thank you!"
Ida nodded, smiled, and then closed the office door. He stood there like a sculpture without moving.
"Ida was the one I saved when I left Konoha and entered the Hidden Rain Village. He is worthy of belief."
Sakumo said.
"Over the years, he has also assisted me in managing this village."
After a pause, he smiled again.
"Of course, behind this, thanks to Xia Le's support."
"If it weren't for the brand new chakra extraction method he summed up and his understanding of natural energy, I don't know how long it would have taken for Yuyin Village to develop into the scale it is today."
Then, he motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Sakumo, you, you."
Fugaku was a little confused at this moment.
He didn't expect that the man known to the outside world as Fang was actually Konoha's White Fang.
"I didn't expect that, Chief Fugaku."
"Back then, I gave up everything for the sake of the village and friendship and disappeared. I actually hid in Yuyin Village and became a shadow!"
Sakumo said with a smile.
His words made everyone present nodded secretly.
It was indeed unexpected.
Back then, Sakumo was a Konoha ninja who was 100% successful in his mission and had no bad deeds. He could abandon the village for the sake of the village without hesitation, and he gave up his mission for the sake of friendship.
But such a man makes it difficult for people to think that he will appear as a leader.
Because the opponent is the sharpest knife in Konoha.
"This is all thanks to Xia Le's suggestion."
"He asked me to come to Hidden Rain Village to develop, because the Country of Rain had become very chaotic due to his own efforts. The entry of various wandering ninjas made the lives of civilians here even more chaotic."
"After I entered here, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I punished several forces."
"As a result, these wandering ninjas were afraid of my power and chose to surrender."
"Subsequently, I taught some Genin from Hidden Rain Village to help them improve their strength."
"With Xia Le's support, his men became more and more powerful. As time passed, they unknowingly became the shadow of this village."
Having said this, Sakumo laughed helplessly again.
"But how do I know how to manage a village?"
"So, I secretly sent letters to Xia Le several times to ask for advice. He also gave me a lot of advice and assured me that he would send a new person to take over."
"Until today, you are finally here!"
When these words came out, Sakumo's eyes were already shining and he looked at everyone present.
"who is it?"
"Who wants to take over the shadow from my hand?"
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in shock.
Why does the other party look so expectant? This is the shadow of a village! Although it is only Yuyin Village, it is still a shadow, possessing great power and managing many forces.
In terms of number of people, it is much larger than the Uchiha clan.
No matter how small the Kingdom of Rain is, it is still a country!
"Nagato? No, you're too young!"
"Xia Le? That's too impossible. I know your character well, and you are suitable to be the boss behind the scenes!"
Sakumo looked at everyone and shook his head.
Finally, he locked his eyes on Fugaku and grinned.
"That's you, Fugaku!"
"You are the most suitable person among this group of people to take over Yuying's position!"
Fugaku was still in a daze, he was completely confused by Hatake Sakumo's words.
"What? I take over as Rain Shadow?!"
After a while, Fugaku suddenly reacted and looked at Xia Le with wise eyes.
"Do you have a conspiracy?"
Sakumo was stunned: "Huh?"
"Xia Le asked me to be the rain shadow, and you also want me to be the rain shadow?"
"You still look so excited and expectant. Is there something wrong with this shadow from the Kingdom of Rain?"
"Or is it a mess?"
Fugaku said warily.
Will the shadow of a village be handed over to others so easily? He didn't believe it at all.
The fierce and complicated competition for the position of Shadow in Konoha is unimaginable.
His words made Xia Le shake his head and laugh, and Sakumo was also dumbfounded.
"You think too much."
Sakumo said helplessly.
"I'm really not suitable for this position."
"It's okay for me to teach these little guys from the Rain Country how to practice, but for me to be the shadow and manage the entire village. The pressure is too great, and I'm at a loss what to do."
"I'm not a managerial person, Fugaku."
"Accordingly, you, the leader of the Uchiha clan, are the most suitable candidate."
Smiling slightly, he said again.
"Don't worry, Fugaku. Although the Amegakure Village today is not as powerful as Konoha, it is prosperous and is growing rapidly, both in terms of economy and strength."
"I followed Xia Le's suggestion to build a ninja school in Yuyin Village and divide the land for civilians to surround Yuyin Village and expand the scale of the village."
"Absorb a large number of civilians and become ninjas."
"After these things are done, the growth of Yuyin Village will be clearly visible."
With that said, he took off the bamboo hat on his head and brought it to Fugaku.
"You make this shadow!"
"This is not just Xia Le's idea, it is also my expectation."
After a slight pause, Sakumo said solemnly.
"After leaving Konoha, I didn't have a home, but this place gave me the feeling of home again."
"And, I believe that this place will be our new home in the future!"
Fugaku was stunned.
He felt the sincerity in the other party's words, and it was not a test or a joke. Moreover, he knew this man Hatake Sakumo very well.
"Sakumo, me!"
Sakumo laughed and said affirmatively: "Yuying, it's you from now on!"
"This is not Konoha, so there are not so many troublesome rules."
"A matter like shadow can be settled in one sentence."
Having said this, he took a long breath and spoke in a relaxed tone.
“I can finally take my load off my shoulders and breathe the outside air.”
"Only after becoming a shadow can you know the joy of being a ninja!"
These words were filled with emotion and made everyone look complicated.
