But the Akatsuki people did not refuse.

They always earn the cheapest income and do the hardest work.

There is already too much darkness in this country, and it would be good to bring a little warmth and light.

"Yahiko, we have run out of ammunition and food now. When will we have a mission?"

An Akatsuki member cried miserably to the leader, a teenage boy named Yahiko.

"You guys, listen up. The so-called ninja must not only learn to endure pain, but also be strong enough to endure hunger. What does it mean to be just hungry? Look at me, I don't feel hungry at all."

After saying that, the young man named Yahiko's stomach growled louder than the others.

Yahiko suddenly blushed.

The rest of the people laughed, and the somewhat miserable atmosphere was dispelled a lot.

It's not that they really can't persevere. After all, when Xiao was first built, it was much more difficult than this predicament.

At least they now have a skill and a reputation, and can help their country more.

One day, the rain will pass and the sky will clear up.

All of them firmly believe that day will come.

This country will be illuminated by light.

This belief taught them strength and patience. When the time comes, they will surely resound internationally and truly change this poor country.

Let the people here no longer be insensitive, no longer in pain, and no longer shed tears.

Merely hungry...

Immediately, stomach growls could be heard rising and falling in the cave.

"Brother Yahiko is right, ninjas have to endure everything, and mere hunger is nothing!"

"oh!"

The others all agreed and got along happily.

A cute girl with blue hair was folding paper while looking at the group of companions with fake smiles on their faces, and she also smiled.

The red-haired boy who was sitting silently in a remote location and not attracting attention also smiled sincerely.

Changing this country and bringing real peace is not only their dream, but also their mission in life.

No matter how poor and suffering this country is, it is still their motherland.

They will never abandon this country.

No matter how painful the day is, there will be a day when you can get through it.

While they were talking and laughing, the sound of footsteps came into the cave.

The Akatsuki ninjas looked seriously and looked at the entrance of the cave.

I was able to approach this place silently, but I wasn't discovered until now... No, it was the footsteps that were deliberately revealed.

The person who came here is very powerful.

There were five people standing at the entrance of the cave.

Wearing a raincoat with the smell of rain and a wet bamboo hat, with only his eyes exposed, he looked at the Akatsuki ninjas in complete silence.

"Who are you?"

As the leader, Yahiko took the initiative to stand up and showed a hearty smile. He seemed not to be hostile because of the strange aura of the five people.

"Are you the leader of Akatsuki?"

The leader of the five, Ninja, asked softly.

He took off the hat on his head, revealing an unfamiliar male face, about thirty years old, with withered white hair.

"Yes. I am Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki."

Yahiko observed this white-haired ninja. There was no breath in his body, and his strength was well hidden.

Very strong.

"Nice to meet you."

The white-haired ninja smiled slightly and extended a friendly hand.

Yahiko was stunned, then smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, may I ask you..."

"Just call me Worm Man."

Insect Man, what a weird name. Yahiko didn't know whether he should complain or not.

"Did Mr. Insect Man come to see us for something?"

"Yes, we want to get your Akatsuki power."

The insect man made his purpose clear directly, his eyes were very solemn and he did not hide anything.

Yahiko and the other Akatsuki ninjas were stunned.

"You can tell...it means..."

An Akatsuki ninja asked with a frown.

"The five of us belong to an organization. After the leader of our organization learned about some of the things you did in the Kingdom of Rain, he was very interested in you, Xiao, so we came to invite you, Xiao, to join the organization."

After a brief silence, Yahiko shook his head and declined with a smile: "Sorry, we Akatsuki have no intention of joining other organizations."

The other Akatsuki ninjas also nodded, agreeing with Yahiko's point of view.

From the very beginning, they were asked to join an organization whose details they didn't know. No matter how you looked at it, things were full of abnormalities.

"Don't you want to hear our terms?"

Insect Man never thought that he would get Akatsuki to surrender just by talking nonsense.

"condition?"

"Yes. The leader knows that you want to change this poor country. He will give you weapons and food, and even calm the chaos in this country."

"What do we have to pay?"

"Because the organization's base is not in the Country of Rain, after joining, you need to leave the Country of Rain temporarily and come back at the right time to transform this country. At that time, you can mobilize the organization's armed forces, food, and even

More resources. I can guarantee you this."

The insect man behaves in a business-like manner, without the slightest personal emotion.

They just express the original meaning of the orders issued by the leaders of their organizations.

"Although it is very attractive, please forgive us for refusing. We will not abandon this country."

Yahiko said firmly.

"I'm not asking you to abandon the Country of Rain. I'm asking you to go to our organization to learn advanced technologies and important ideas, and then bring them back to change this poor country."

"That is no different than abandoning us. Now is when the country needs us most, and we will not leave."

After Yahiko finished speaking, he looked at the insect man like this.

After being silent like this for a minute, the insect man gave a bitter smile and sighed: "Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and we won't force you. Just treat these as greeting gifts."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll and placed it on the ground.

"This is?"

"There is some food and winter supplies sealed inside. I know you don't want to accept charity from others, but remember, this is not charity. It is not the public funds of our organization, but my personal support to you."

Yahiko looked at the insect man in surprise.

The insect man looked at the pouring rain outside, and sighed quietly: "I was once a member of this country, but I am also a member of the organization, and I cannot be emotional. Therefore, this is not a charity from me to you, but only to you.

My former country, a small reward."

Yahiko and others' faces were slightly moved.

Yahiko took a step forward and said: "In this case, then you can join us Akatsuki and let us change this country together."

After Yahiko said this, Insect Man and the other four people all looked at Yahiko, with rejection in their eyes.

The insect man pondered for a moment and said: "Although your dreams are good, I don't think you have the power to change this country. You haven't realized the core nature of the matter... Let's stop here. We should go.

Yes, there are other tasks to do."

Insect Man turned around and planned to leave.

"etc!"

Yahiko stopped him.

"What else?"

"Who is your leader?"
