Chapter 236 Perfect preparation

  Xiao organized a small village to rest, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan got news from Hanzo.

   "Hanzo-sama intends to entrust you to complete the task of peaceful negotiation with the borders of the three kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind.

  Three big countries surround our country of rain, and now there are wars everywhere, this matter is of great significance. "

   Hanzo's messenger conveyed his wishes, which made Akatsuki's members rejoicing.

   For them, Hanzo has always been the orthodox leader of Yuyin Village, representing the official Yuyin Village.

   Being recognized by him proves that the efforts of himself and others have been supported by the officials of Yuyin Village, and they have entered the official field of vision from a purely non-governmental organization!

   "It's amazing, big brother, Hanzo has recognized the strength and prestige of our Akatsuki organization!"

   "Please tell Hanzo-sama, we have taken orders on this matter."

   "Then, I'm looking forward to your coming. Lord Hanzo will personally inform you about the relevant matters, and the time will be set in a week."

"clear."

   sent off Hanzo's messenger, and celebrated with his colleagues who were in high spirits. The crowd dispersed, leaving only Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and Kakuto.

  “…”

  Kakuto looked at Yahiko's serious face, frowned slightly, and nodded secretly.

   "Yahiko, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

   Nagato and Konan also noticed that Yahiko's face was wrong, Nagato sensed that there was no one else around, and asked aloud.

   "Well, strictly speaking, our Akatsuki organization has a high reputation, but it has not reached the level that can represent a country."

   Yahiko touched his chin hesitantly:

   "Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin Village, actually asked us, who are actually mercenaries, to negotiate peacefully... I always think it's too sudden."

   "But didn't you promise Hanzo's messenger just now?"

   Xiaonan said strangely:

   "If you feel suspicious, the rejection is that we and Hanzo are not affiliated. Although Hanzo has expressed his appreciation for us, we always follow our own will."

   "...Companions still recognize Hanzo's dominion over this country, even though we are well aware of the harm Hanzo has done to this country, but they don't know it."

   Yahiko shook his head:

   "If I refused just now, it would greatly undermine the confidence of my companions. In the end, this is a good thing."

   Looking at the silent angle, Yahiko asked humbly:

   "Mr. Kakuto, you have experienced more than we have. What do you think of this?"

   "Boss, you really have grown a lot. According to your usual carefree appearance, I really thought you would jump into this big hole with your eyes closed."

"Uh……"

   The straightforward rant made Yahiko touch his nose, while Nagato and Konan were surprised.

   "Mr. Koto, is this really a problem?"

   "Well, you are still young after all."

The    corner stretched out a finger and shook it, as if "I have seen through everything":

   "Based on my years of experience, Hanzo is the leader of Yuyin Village. He has always admired Akatsuki's attitude, but he has never made friends."

   "Hanzo is indeed a hero. In the last war, I still know a little about the story of him and 'Konoha Sannin'."

   The witnesses who did not know about that incident were in front of him, and the corners did not pay attention to the strange expressions of the three of Yahiko, and continued to express his own opinions:

   "But as he got older, his power declined, and he became suspicious and hedonistic - the number of guards traveling, the money spent on daily life increased.

   But he didn't do much about building the country, or he simply let it go. The economy of the Rain Country did not improve at all, but declined year by year, even worse than before the last war. "

   As soon as they heard that Kakuto's judgment was based on the economic level, the three of Yahiko looked convinced.

   "He put his time and energy into how to get both sides in the gap between the three major countries, but he did not have the great courage to single out the four countries in the last war——

A person like    entrusts the task of the lifeline of the country to a prestigious private mercenary organization. Before the last war, he might be able to do it.

   But now he is absolutely impossible! "

   The green eyes narrowed slightly and said solemnly:

   "On the contrary, if he is afraid of your rapid increase in influence and threatens his status, and deliberately sends you to death, I think it is very reasonable!"

  “!”

   Before Yahiko could say anything, Nagato's expression turned cold:

   "Let's die? Just because of our prestige?"

   "Although Hanzo has caused harm to this country, we have felt his desire for peace before - and that's why he let go of the Konoha Sannin, right?"

   "But now, why did he become like this?"

   "People always change..."

   Kokaku took a deep look at Nagato and shook his head:

   "Especially for those in high positions, but there is still no movement in Sandyin Village in the Kingdom of Wind. On the battlefields of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth, that adult resisted the three generations of earth shadow Onogi.

   The current situation is for the rain country, it is time to integrate domestic forces, or maintain neutrality, or bet on a country, he really does not need to be so anxious. "

   "But what if Hanzo really wants us to negotiate peacefully?"

   Xiaonan asked:

   "If Hanzo didn't have any conspiracy, don't we blame him wrongly?"

   "Xiao Nan, when Senior Brother Wu taught me before, let me know the world with my own eyes and experience what peace is."

   Yahiko looked at the still raining sky and chuckled lightly:

   "Only by experiencing it personally can you have the right to speak and have your own understanding.

   No matter what purpose Hanzo has come to find us, this matter itself is in line with our ideals, so I took it.

   But if things really don’t go our way, we have to be well-prepared too—we work hard to acquire a skill, isn’t it for times like this? "

   "Protect ourselves first, then we can have the confidence to explore peace. I once promised Senior Brother Wu that I would not easily fall on the road of seeking peace——

   Now that Senior Brother Satoru can compete with the three generations of soil shadows, I am looking forward to discussing the peace in his eyes with him. "

   Nagato and Konan smiled, Yahiko is like that, his ideals have the power to shock people, and he used to be a little naive and a little idealistic.

   But now, this only weakness no longer exists.

   "Very good... Yahiko, you have this kind of consciousness, you are worthy of being Akatsuki's leader."

The    corners nodded slightly, and the right hand hidden in the long sleeve was secretly rubbing a special arcane crystal.

   "Don't worry, I'll go with you. If Hanzo is really what I think, he wants to do something not very good..."

   There was a smile in the corners of his eyes:

   "He's destined to waste his time."
