The sound of pattering rain could be heard in my ears.

Rainy days are particularly annoying.

Especially people from the Country of Rain, they especially hate their country where it rains all year round.

What came into Nagato's sight was a devastated village. It had been affected by the battle between Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas and had become like this. Now it could no longer be inhabited.

It was not just the corpses of ninjas that fell there, but also the civilians of the Rain Country.

Received the unparalleled disaster of ninja fighting.

Nagato looked up at the gray sky, pursed his lips with a pale face, and the vision in front of him seemed to be blurred.

His expression was sad and silent. Looking at the corpses on the ground, his eyes changed from sadness to confusion and doubt.

Why do great powers involve their own country in the war?

Akatsuki has dissuaded them from harming civilians in their battle, so why do they still bring pain to the innocent people of Rain Country so cruelly?

Isn't it stipulated by the five major powers themselves that ninjas are not allowed to harm civilians in battle? Why are they the first to break their own rules?

Where is their justice, where is their self-discipline? Where is their power that they think they are superior to others?

Extreme violence and power?

This is not the first time this has happened.

His parents also died at the hands of powerful ninjas when he was a child.

Now more people in this country are dying in this way.

And this chain will not disappear, and more people will die in wars in the future.

Nagato closed his eyes and thought about everything in this country.

There are homeless wanderers and orphans everywhere, emaciated and hungry bodies lying on the roadside, and corpses eaten by wild dogs.

Nagato suddenly discovered a very scary thing, that is, ever since he could remember, what he had seen was a disordered, chaotic, twisted world full of blood and killings all day long.

"You are here, Nagato."

A voice came from behind.

It was a young woman with blue hair.

"Xiaonan, what's the matter?"

Nagato turned slightly to reveal his profile.

"Seeing this scene, do you recall the past?"

Xiaonan looked at the tragic situation of the village, with sadness in her eyes.

"Um."

Nagato nodded without hesitation.

There is no need to hide the pain in your heart in front of your peers.

He has experienced this, but now he has a lot of doubts and confusion in his heart.

"Don't think too much. One day, we will succeed. Everyone is working hard for this."

"I know. I'm fine. What did Xiaonan and Yahiko say?"

Nagato asked about the serious matter.

"He plans to negotiate with the ninjas of Sunagakure and Konoha."

"negotiation?"

"Tell them to stop fighting."

Hearing what Konan said, although Nagato supported Yahiko's approach, he felt it was inappropriate.

After witnessing this incident, Nagato did not think that those powerful ninjas would listen to their prayers, stop their weapons, and go home.

In the end, the one who suffered the most damage was still the Kingdom of Rain, and nothing changed.

Thinking of this, Nagato couldn't help but think of what a guy from a certain organization who called himself a bug man said when he came to recruit them three years ago.

Said that they will definitely end in failure in the end.

When Nagato thought about this incident, it was indeed consistent with what the insect man said.

They continue to save money, donate more materials to the poor people in the Rain Country, and even dedicate their efforts to them for free.

However nothing has changed.

People who should be poor will remain poor. After charity, their lives will become a big problem again.

"Before that, we need to distribute the recently collected supplies to the rest of the people. Yahiko asked you to come with me."

"Okay, let's set off now."

Although I was wondering why everyone at Akatsuki had done so much, nothing had changed in the end, and now was not the time to care about these things.

Saving the people of this country is the top priority.

In this war-torn era, we must race against time.

This village destroyed by ninjas is an example.

◎

Nagato and Konan walked forward in the rain.

The two of them carried a considerable amount of supplies on their backs, all of which were intended to be distributed to the people of the Country of Rain.

In the leaky little village, many buildings were destroyed, and most of the houses had big holes in the tops due to the ninja fighting.

The house is full of rainwater.

However, even in such a difficult environment, many people from the Country of Rain took refuge here.

They will not seek refuge elsewhere until the ninjas come again. If it is too late to escape by then, they will have no choice but to wait to die.

Anyway, this country is hiding everywhere, the big names are too busy to take care of themselves, the nobles are drunk, enjoying themselves, and trying to get crazy in the end, so no one cares about the life and death of civilians like them.

"Why is there only so much this time?"

The male villager with only his head exposed from the broken wooden door seemed very dissatisfied with the meager supplies he received this time.

"Sorry, the supplies collected recently are getting less and less. We will bring more things next time."

"Our family can't hold on to such a small amount for long."

The male villager weighed the total amount of supplies he received this time and estimated that they would be gone in half a month.

Immediately, he looked behind Xiaonan, showing greed.

"Isn't there another one there? Take that one and give it to me."

It is natural to make such a request.

"No! These are things that are going to be distributed to others. There are only so many this time."

Xiaonan took a step back to protect the supplies behind and prevent men from coming to snatch them.

"Does this matter? Anyway, our family has the largest population in this village, so we should get more."

"That's all."

Xiaonan refused to give in.

The man frowned angrily and rushed forward to snatch the supplies behind Xiaonan.

"Do not come near me!"

This kind of behavior by a man also made Xiaonan angry. She was already very humble, but she didn't expect that this man would push her further.

He grabbed his arm and asked him to roll back.

"What are you bastards going to do?"

The man rolled in the mud and got a bruise on his forehead, and became angry with Xiao Nan.

"I don't plan to do anything. These are the supplies that were distributed this time. There is nothing extra."

Nagato said indifferently.

The man snorted coldly and walked into the house angrily.

At the moment when the wooden door was closed, a very unpleasant sentence was left behind:

"Why are you pretending to be a philanthropist at this time? What a bunch of idiots!"

"you--"

Xiaonan couldn't help it anymore and wanted to rush in and teach this man a lesson.

What this man said was really ugly.

If it weren't for Xiao's help, the family would have starved to death.
