Chapter 335: Pain and the Akatsuki Faction
"Eight years ago, Haneda, you and I went to Kawaharaishi Village with Miya... You still remember that time to help the war orphans."
"During the founding ceremony, the leader and I visited the Konoha Orphanage. Most of the facilities there were complete."
"Restaurant, library, toilet, bathroom..."
"There will be fresh milk and bread every day, and Konoha will also arrange for them to attend school for free and teach them."
"The leader has been working hard to do this, but unfortunately he still hasn't been able to do it to the level of Konoha."
"There are too many war orphans in the Rain Country."
At the end, Xiaonan let out a long sigh.
Because the Rain Country is adjacent to the three great countries of Fire Country, Earth Country, and Wind Country, the Rain Country has been suffering from wars during the Second and Third Ninja World Wars.
During World War II, it was Hanzo Salamander who took the initiative to start the war, so it was understandable.
But during the Third War, the Rain Kingdom suffered an unexpected disaster.
Because other major powers are unlikely to fight wars within their own borders, the vortex of war is often borne by small countries.
And the Rain Country is a small country.
At that time, the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo Salamander, was in a state of disgrace and ignored Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sandagakure.
When Pain took over Amegakure, it was basically intact, but the Rain Country... was in ruins.
Again, not every war orphan is Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.
They did not have Madara's secret protection, nor did they have Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, personally teaching them ninjutsu.
The Amegakure represented by Pain and Konan will be responsible for protecting Madara, feeding Yahiko, and Jiraiya.
"Small countries have suffered too much," Payne said.
"The pain of war, the pain of hunger, the pain of survival, the pain of losing loved ones..."
"These pains have now become my responsibility and motivation, and I will never forget them."
Haneda said: "Our great country has suffered the same pain!"
If anyone else said this, Pain would sneer and release the Shinra Tensei to make the big countries feel the pain and consider the pain...
But the person who was speaking was Haneda, the person Pain had always been learning from and someone Pain knew deeply.
Haneda's pain was no less than Pain's.
In My Struggle, he deeply recorded his own pain, the pain of Konoha, and the pain of the people of the Land of Fire...
Don't think that a war fought abroad will have no impact on the country.
The preparation of war materials was levied upon the lower-class working people. As a daimyo who was similar to a feudal monarch, he would not consider the lives of the people.
The taxes that should be levied cannot be reduced at all, just like the Liao salary that the Qing Dynasty levied to fight Manchuria after entering the Central Plains.
The Fire Nation did suffer similar pain, but it was not as obvious and shocking as the Rain Nation.
Payne nodded slightly:
“That’s why we need to understand pain and the value of peace.”
Payne extended his hand and gave Haneda a diplomatic handshake.
Although it was not a formal occasion, it was precisely this that revealed the sincerity of both parties.
Haneda exchanged a few words with Pein and Konan, and then said:
"I heard that Akatsuki recently recruited a new member named Beiliuhu, codenamed Qing, is that right?"
Hearing this, Payne and Konan looked at each other.
They were very clear about Hokuroko's identity, he was a traitor ninja of Konoha, and Haneda was the Hokage of Konoha.
If this matter is not handled properly, it might destroy the friendship in Konoha.
Konan frequently glanced at Pain. As the apparent leader and the real leader of Yuyin, Pain had to explain in person.
Payne also knew this. He organized his words in his mind before speaking:
"Hiroko is indeed a member of Akatsuki, but he is not one of mine."
"Strictly speaking, Akatsuki is divided into two factions. One faction is people who are close to me, and the other faction is people who are close to Uchiha Madara, the leader behind Akatsuki!"
"Uchiha Madara?!!" Haneda cooperated and showed a surprised expression.
He didn't want to show in front of Nagato and Konan that he knew Madara, as they called him, and that he had feelings for him that went beyond friendship...
Pein nodded and said, "That's right! Madara took the initiative to find Konan and me, and together we created the current Akatsuki organization."
"You should know that the original Akatsuki organization was not like this."
Haneda said: "Indeed, in the past, people with similar interests gathered together under Yahiko's personal charm."
When he heard the name Yahiko, a trace of sadness appeared in Pein's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Payne said: "Kakuzu, Sasori, and Hidan are our people, Biwa Juuzou, Hoshigaki Kisame, Zetsu, and Obiru are all Madara's people."
"Orochimaru is a maverick in the Akatsuki organization. He does not belong to any faction, but he obeys my orders."
Pain suddenly paused and added: "Banara doesn't seem to care about Beiluo, but he is very close to Zetsu."
Hearing these words, Haneda's eyes fixed and he suddenly thought of something.
Black Zetsu!
Hokuroko has been hiding in the ninja world for several years and ordinary people cannot find him at all.
But there are as many as 100,000 White Zetsu, so maybe we might meet them by chance.
What did Black Zetsu do to Higurashi?
This doesn't seem to be what Obito intended...
Could it be that Obito and Black Zetsu are having a conflict? ! !
Haneda was suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts.
He saw value in Beiliuhu that exceeded that in Guiya Luo.
"Where is he now?" Haneda asked.
Payne and Konan looked at each other again.
Since Hiruhu is considered to be Madara's man, the two of them deliberately arranged for Sasori to supervise Hiruhu.
Of course, they both knew where the Beiliu people were.
But Haneda and Sasori have a grudge against each other for killing their master.
If exposed, Scorpion would definitely die!
Ohnoki is a lesson for us. Haneda has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment!
After hesitating for a moment, Payne still told out the location of Beiruhu.
…………
On the other side, White Zetsu, who was secretly monitoring Haneda, Pain and Konan, came to where Obito was.
Bai Zetsu said: "Master Madara, Uchiha Haneda is preparing to attack Beiluo! Beiluo is a traitorous ninja of Konoha just like you!"
Obito glanced at White Zetsu and said, "I am different from him. Besides, I can't free my hands right now."
White Zetsu showed an exaggerated smile and teased, "Lord Madara, are you feeling sorry for Haneda? Are you not going to attack him?"
Obito moved his mask and ignored White Zetsu.
He really had no intention of fighting Haneda, and it would take a long time for the Three-Tailed Fox to be resurrected.
And Hiruko is not his man, but was recruited by Black Zetsu!
Obito was very afraid of Madara's will, Black Zetsu, and he wanted to test it when Haneda attacked Obito.
But it would be bad not to take action openly, as his tricks could not be hidden from Black Zetsu.
Obito thought about it carefully and decided not to work hard.
Anyway, Haneda is very strong and I may not be able to defeat him.
He could then use this as an excuse to bring only the dying Hiruhu into the Kamui Space.
Obito can also use the Sharingan's illusion to force information about what Black Zetsu is doing behind the scenes!
