#217 - Chapter 217 The Fourth Generation
"What are you guys talking about?"
Ye Cang emerged from the crowd and immediately noticed Yahiko and the others, who seemed lost in thought.
Yahiko snapped out of it and thanked Ryosuke beside him.
This made Ryosuke wave his hands in pleasant surprise, while Ye Cang was somewhat puzzled.
However, she didn't have the mind or time to care about these trivial matters and said directly.
"Come with me, the Kazekage is waiting for you!"
Soon, Yahiko followed Ye Cang through the crowd and arrived at a small house.
As soon as the five entered, they saw a relatively small reception room. Rasa, the target of Yahiko's visit, was sitting on the sofa, with a beautiful girl and a guard wearing glasses opposite him.
When Yahiko saw Rasa, he had countless questions in his mind, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Rasa ask with a strange expression.
"You guys came wearing those clothes?"
This sudden question stunned Yahiko and his group.
"Uh... is there a problem?"
Looking at the five members of Akatsuki, who looked like light bulbs in the dark night, wearing black uniforms with red clouds, Rasa asked speechlessly.
"Don't you think your clothes are a bit conspicuous?"
Everyone was stunned. Yahiko was reminded by Rasa and realized it.
Indeed, in the dark environment of the Rain Country, black clothes had a natural stealth effect, but in the bright sun of the Wind Country, it was the opposite. Black clothes were as bright as light bulbs.
"......"
Rasa wasn't deliberately finding fault.
"Since the tailed beast rampage six days ago, countless people have been staring at our Sunagakure. You coming in like this must have been noticed."
"......"
Seeing the silent Yahiko and his group, Rasa could only sigh and say.
"Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. Sit down first. I was quite happy to hear that you were coming to Sunagakure."
Yahiko and his group sat down somewhat awkwardly and cautiously. Rasa then pointed to the curious Miku and introduced her.
"Let me introduce you. This is the former shrine maiden of the Demon Country, and now the Queen: Miss Miku."
After the Demon Country and the Wind Country reached an agreement, with the protection of the Jonin sent by Rasa, Miku successfully transformed from a shrine maiden into a queen, becoming the true ruler of the Demon Country.
"Miku, these five are ninjas from the Rain Country. The blond boy is called Yahiko, the blue-haired girl who is about your age is called Konan, and the red-haired boy is called Nagato. As for the other two, I don't know them."
The two hurriedly introduced themselves.
"I am Kyusuke!"
"I am Daibutsu!"
Hearing this, Miku's inquisitive little face wore an innocent smile and politely greeted them.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Yahiko... Miss Konan... Mr. Nagato...."
Seeing such a beautiful Miku greeting them gently, Yahiko was a little nervous and returned the greeting.
Seeing that everyone had met each other, Rasa asked Ye Cang, who was sitting casually beside him.
"What's the situation outside?"
Hearing Rasa's words, Ye Cang frowned.
"You, you're the one who caused this, but you're hiding here. I'm being annoyed to death by those old guys in the clan, and it's delaying my training."
Rasa shook his head and said.
"There's no other way. I wanted to let Shingu handle it alone, but the benefits of this matter are too great, and her identity is a bit awkward. She can't suppress those elders behind you. I can only let you and Mika come forward. However, as long as this matter is handled well, Sunagakure will usher in a future with unlimited possibilities."
Hearing this, Miku nodded and said.
"Yes, Sister Ye Cang, even I can see the benefits of this plan. Thank you, Lord Rasa, for allowing our Demon Country to join this plan."
Ye Cang said very seriously.
"No... Miku, ever since you learned about the things our Sunagakure has encountered, you have been so eager to care. You are our Sunagakure's eternal friend!"
"Yes."
Rasa also nodded.
"Next, Miku, you only need to discuss with the ministers in your country the specific path and cities that this river will pass through next. Leave the rest to me!"
"Okay, I will confirm with everyone as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Yahiko, who had been listening, suddenly asked.
"Lord Kazekage, I wonder if our Rain Country can join?"
These words stunned everyone present.
Rasa had expected it. He tapped the table and slowly said under everyone's gaze.
"To be honest, Yahiko, you should be able to feel that I admire you!"
Rasa's words surprised everyone in Yahiko's group, and then they understood.
"Although I sometimes dislike those who are too naive, I don't hate those who truly use everything they have to practice their ideals. I won't beat around the bush with you."
Speaking of this, Rasa looked at the Akatsuki members.
"The reason why I am willing to meet you is that in my original plan, there was originally a place for the Rain Country!"
Yahiko was surprised and delighted.
But soon Rasa's words poured cold water on him.
"It's just that this Rain Country is not the current Rain Country!"
"? ? ?"
Yahiko was stunned.
"Lord Kazekage, what do you mean?"
Rasa did not answer, but took a scroll from the table next to him and threw it to Yahiko.
Yahiko opened it, and everyone beside him looked at it and immediately understood what Rasa meant.
"I think you understand. A new era is coming. The Third Hokage of Konoha has stepped down, and Namikaze Minato is about to become the Fourth Hokage. Civil strife has occurred in Kirigakure, and the Third Mizukage committed suicide. Yagura Karatachi has become the Fourth Mizukage, but what about Amegakure of the Rain Country? Its controller is still the old Hanzo of the Salamander, and you are just the leader of an unrecognized organization in Amegakure of the Rain Country. Do you think you have the position to talk to me about these things?"
At this moment, Yahiko and the others looked very solemn. Although Rasa's words were euphemistic, everyone present could hear that he hoped that Yahiko would become the controller of Amegakure. Only in this way would Yahiko be qualified to talk to Rasa about these things.
However, this was contrary to Yahiko's idea.
Because Yahiko established Akatsuki not for his own selfish desires, but for the peace of the ninja world.
If Yahiko really wanted to replace Hanzo of the Salamander and become the leader of Amegakure, then the war between Akatsuki and Amegakure would be inevitable, which would bring the war that Yahiko least expected.
Rasa also knew that Yahiko would not agree.
However, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that even if Yahiko did not make a choice, the hatred between the ninjas in this world would force him to take that step...
