In the sky, a gentle drizzle fell, landing on the lush green leaves of the forest, making the veins of the leaves more transparent. The verdant trees flourished even more under the nourishing rain.
In the Land of Rain.
At the entrance of the Rain Village, two figures slowly appeared.
"Next, let's contact the ninjas of the Rain Village. As long as we state our identity, we should be able to meet the curious new leader."
The slender figure with purple hair and slightly parted crimson lips spoke with a chilly voice, which seemed to complement the gentle rain.
Upon hearing her words, the tall figure beside her nodded gently.
"Swoosh!"
The two disappeared from their original position.
...
Inside the Rain Village.
In a towering building made of dark rocks, at the topmost room that overlooked the entire Rain Village, a figure sat at the main seat, crossing his hands on the table with a gentle smile on his face.
"It seems that Leaf's friends have arrived."
He spoke softly with a smile in his eyes.
Hearing his words, the two figures in front of him tensed slightly. The young man with pale eyes respectfully asked, "Captain Aizen, shall we proceed according to the original plan?"
Hearing this, the man with narrow eyes beside him leaned forward slightly, showing more nervousness about the answer to this question.
Sōsuke, sitting in the main seat, pondered for a moment, then lifted the corner of his mouth and spoke softly.
"Let's stick to the original plan. After all, judging by the current situation, if the negotiations between the Rain Village and Konoha are successful, it will bring a period of extended development."
He glanced at the young man with narrow eyes in front of him, and chuckled.
"I'm afraid this is also the result you most hope for, Jinnai."
Hearing this, Jinnai's body tightened slightly, but he showed a respectful expression on his face and asked, "Captain Aizen, do you still want to proceed with the plan ?"
At this, Sōsuke smiled gently and said, "Regardless, the current state of the Rain Village is something you have contributed to. Since you have invested so much effort into this village, I won't let this fruit lose its value prematurely."
"Let this village lie low for a while. Our plan is not in a hurry."
Hearing this, Jinnai showed a slight smile, saying softly, "Thank you for your blessing on this village, Captain Aizen."
Sōsuke gently shook his head in response and continued with a smile.
"There's no need for that. The change in this village is your accomplishment. Since you have devoted so much to this village, I won't let this achievement lose its value too early."
"Let this village lie low for a while. Our plan is not urgent."
Upon hearing this, Jinnai's face revealed a smile, and he said softly, "Thank you for your grace towards this village, Captain Aizen."
Sōsuke smiled gently and did not continue on this matter. He furrowed his brows slightly, as if remembering something, and asked softly, "How is the child, Saki?"
Hearing Sōsuke's question, Saki, with respectful manners, replied, "Reporting to Captain Aizen, according to your instructions, Nawaki has been arranged in a hidden location in the Rain Village. We will let him continue to learn about the truth of this cruel world at the right time."
"But, Captain Aizen, does the child Nawaki really have the potential that you are so concerned about?"
To this, Sōsuke raised the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and said, "Concerned?"
"You're wrong, Saki. I just want to see what kind of brilliance the bloodline that has been passed down from ancient times in this world can unfold."
He looked at Saki with a gentle gaze and continued in a soft tone.
"This... also includes you, Saki."
Hearing Aizen's words, Saki's expression remained unchanged, and he respectfully said, "Even if it's just a momentary gaze, it's already the highest honor for this bloodline to attract your attention!"
To this, Sōsuke shook his head gently, saying softly, "This bloodline is not ugly; what was ugly was the person who used it before."
With that, he looked up and smiled gently at Saki.
"If possible, Saki, I hope you can pass on this bloodline. Of course, as the initial existence to pass it on, everything will start to become pure and white from you."
Hearing Aizen's words, Saki, who was usually decisive and indifferent in front of others, unexpectedly had red eyes.
He turned his head to avoid showing this embarrassing side to Aizen, and his voice choked a bit.
"I... I understand, Captain Aizen. I will follow the light you radiate and strive to let this bloodline be touched by your glory!"
Seeing Saki in this state, Sōsuke walked gently to his side, patted his shoulder, and continued to walk towards the door.
"So many years have passed, and you're still like a child. Come on, there are still many things waiting for us to do. Our story in this era... is just beginning."
A seductive and charismatic voice slowly spread.
Hearing his words, whether it was Jinnai or Saki, they looked at his back with respect and anticipation.
As Captain Aizen said, their exploits are still in the embryonic stage. To truly change this world, there are still too many things waiting for them to do.
Thinking that they could follow such a great person, touch the supreme glory that could overturn the entire human history, their eyes were filled with infinite yearning.
.....
The fine rain outside the window continued to fall gently.
Inside the black-rock-built structure in the Rain Village, two figures ascended the stairs under the guidance of a Rain Village ninja.
"Creak."
As the door opened, a spacious conference room came into view for Himikoi.
Several high-ranking members of the Rain Village were seated in the conference room, but what caught her attention the most was the young man with narrow eyes sitting in the main seat.
This... was the newly appointed leader of the Rain Village... and he's so young!?
Himikoi were somewhat shocked, but her expression remained unchanged. She gave a subtle look to Sōsuke beside her, indicating for him to act accordingly.
"Welcome, Leaf Village ninjas who have come from afar."
At this moment, Jinnai, sitting at the head of the long table, smiled slightly and spoke lightly.
Hearing the casual tone in his voice, Himikoi frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything and slowly took her seat alongside Sōsuke.
The formal negotiations began.
"Before we start the negotiations, let's do some introductions. I am Mon, and this is the current leader of the Rain Village, Lord Jinnai. May I know who you two are?"
A chubby man in the conference room asked Sōsuke. and Himikoi with a serious expression.
Although his expression did not change, if one observed carefully, they would notice sweat forming on his forehead, and his legs under the table were trembling slightly.
After all, seeing that demon again... one can imagine his feelings.
"I am Himikoi Shimura from Leaf Village," Himikoi said coldly.
"I am Sōsuke from Leaf Village. Hello, Lord Jinnai," Aizen said with a gentle smile.
Upon hearing this, both the chubby man and Jinnai twitched their mouths slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.
The rain outside the window continued to fall gently, and the people in the room were a little nervous, fearing that this negotiation might encounter some problems.
Due to the tight schedule for both Leaf and Rain Villages, with a slight urging from Himikoi and intentional cooperation from Jinnai, this crucial negotiation meeting was successfully concluded in a short time.
The two villages formally signed a peace treaty.
At the entrance of the Rain Village.
"Lord Jinnai, that's it. We will return to the village soon to deliver this treaty. We also hope that the friendship between Leaf and Rain Villages will endure."
Himikoi's face carried a charming smile as she spoke softly.
Apparently, she was very happy about the smooth signing of the treaty.
Jinnai in front of her nodded gently. However, he turned his gaze towards Sōsuke.
