Chapter 168: Madara: The Five Great Nations Causing Trouble? I’ll Shoulder It, Got It?

The sewage problem of the Land of Rain is one of the biggest bottomless pits.

Although he built many sewage processors, the electricity required is an astronomical number. After the war, he could no longer afford such consumption, and many wastewater processors were forced to shut down.

If the sewage in the Land of Rain can be properly treated, the surrounding water sources will return to being clean, a large number of civilians in the Land of Rain can return to normal life, the land can be farmed again, and there will be no more risk of disease.

Yahiko nodded, "Moreover, this machine can also convert chakra into heating. As long as a pipe connects each household, during cold rainy weather, it can provide heating to all civilians so that not so many people will freeze to death."

"If Lord Hanzo doesn't believe it, you can take it back and try it yourself. The usage is also simple. Just make a special metal pipe connection interface and connect it with the facility that needs power."

Hanzo had already been stunned by this sudden surprise. The livelihood issue he was about to give up on seemed to see the dawn of hope again.

He immediately ordered people to take the machine down for testing. If it's real, not to mention one hundred, even two hundred or three hundred, he would buy them.

The Land of Rain does not lack some factory facilities; what it lacks is the energy to operate these facilities. With energy, the country can run at high speed.

Afterward, Hanzo and Yahiko chatted while waiting.

After what he felt was the longest wait of his life, his subordinates returned and gave him a detailed result report.

The effect was even better than what Yahiko had said.

Hanzo beamed with joy at Madara, "This… masked leader of the Akatsuki organization, how about I place an order for three hundred units first? Don't worry, I'll pay immediately."

But Madara calmly said, "Only one hundred units. If you want more, wait for the next batch. Also, our machines can only be used in places meeting civilian needs first."

"If I find out you prioritized supplying nobles, I won't mind replacing the leader of the Land of Rain," As he said this, Madara once again released his killing intent.

Hanzo once again felt that abyss-like aura, and the little thoughts he had vanished completely.

Then he reflected that the Akatsuki organization's actions really seemed to be improving the livelihood of the Land of Rain, developing in a direction of peace.

As the leader of the Land of Rain, he wasn't even as conscious as an organization. He immediately felt a bit ashamed.

However, as if he remembered something, a worried look appeared on his face, "Even if the Land of Rain has sufficient energy and can solve internal troubles and stop civil war, external threats are still a hurdle we can't cross."

"Especially during wartime now, this place is like a sieve. Every day, there are foreign ninjas entering, fighting or looting here. Even if I want to control it, I'm powerless."

Madara froze, "What's so hard to control? Just issue a ban. Any foreign ninja who invades, kill without mercy, isn't that enough?"

Hanzo gave a bitter smile, "If I issue that ban and anger the great nations, what if they attack directly?"

"Now during wartime, large forces of Sand, Rock, and Cloud are all not far from the Land of Rain. They could turn around and attack us at any time."

Madara gave Hanzo a disdainful look, "I heard that a few years ago, you dared to declare war on three great nations alone. How did you become so wishy-washy now?"

"If you don't dare to control it, I'll control it for you. If great nation ninjas dare to attack, I'll shoulder it, got it?"

Hanzo was stunned on the spot. Looking at Madara's high-spirited appearance, he thought of the past.

Back then, he too had that look. But in the end, he lacked strength.

Though he believed Madara might be stronger than him, and Akatsuki now indeed had some strong fighters, the war potential of the great nations was far more terrifying than imagined. He still believed going to war with the great nations wasn't a good choice for the Land of Rain.

So he tried to persuade, "Forget it, let the great nations make trouble. It'll pass after a while. Just endure it, endure it."

Madara suddenly heard in this so-called demigod's tone a sorrow that surpassed all.

He couldn't help but wonder, 'If it was the true God of Shinobi, what would he do in this situation?'

But then, he shook his head.

The real God of Shinobi would shout, ("I won't allow you to destroy my village!")

Then clap his hands and unleash Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands. Whether it was a thousand troops or ten thousand, all would turn to dust.

Thinking of this, Madara wore a slight smile under his mask. He looked up at the obscured sun in the rainy gloom.

"Hanzo, what do you think 'Akatsuki' means?"

Hanzo froze. He didn't expect the Akatsuki leader to discuss such a topic with him.

He thought and said, "It's hope."

Madara shook his head, "Wrong. Akatsuki is fire. This flame will only burn stronger and stronger."

Hanzo was utterly confused, not understanding what Madara meant.

Madara walked to Hanzo, patted his shoulder, "War won't spread here. If the great nations' troops really dare to come, I'll help them remember how fire burns people to death."

Madara didn't waste more words, "Have someone send the money to the Akatsuki base and pick up the machines there. If there are any problems, come find me."

After speaking, he turned around and glanced at the people, "Let's go, we're heading back."

A group of Akatsuki members followed Madara and left together.

Hanzo stared at the departing backs of Akatsuki, dazed.

At this moment, a subordinate came forward and suggested, "Leader, Akatsuki was so disrespectful to you, and they have miraculous machines. Maybe they even know how to make them. Should we…"

This subordinate made a beheading gesture.

Then, the next second, his head was truly chopped off.

Hanzo retracted his scythe and glanced at the other subordinates, "I don't need idiots by my side."

Kanzō nervously came forward and asked, "Leader, the Akatsuki people, even if we don't offend them, we still need to be cautious, right?"

Hanzo shook his head and declared, "Pass my order, from today onward, any foreign ninja who fights or plunders on our Land of Rain territory, KILL WITHOUT MERCY."

Kanzō was stunned, "Leader, do you really believe what they say? But this will offend the great nations, it seems a bit unwise."

But Hanzo was silent for a while, then looked at Kanzō, "I probably guessed the Akatsuki leader's identity. If it's really him, the great nations won't be able to invade."

Kanzō was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

Hanzo thought for a bit and said meaningfully, "Perhaps an old ninja who doesn't belong to this era."

———

Konoha, Root, Danzo received an urgent report from his subordinates from eight hundred miles away.

He immediately couldn't sit still.

"What? Hanzo has reached some kind of cooperation with Akatsuki? Now they're allies."

"Akatsuki has some miraculous machine that can provide a huge amount of electricity to the Land of Rain?"

"Hanzo issued an order: any foreign village ninja who causes trouble in their territory, kill without mercy."

Danzo slapped the table, "Outrageous! What is the Land of Rain trying to do."

"This organization that seeks peace is too dangerous. There can only be one will of peace in this world, Konoha's Will of Fire."

"I was planning to deal with them later, but now I can't wait any longer."

"Ryoma, send a message to Hanzo. I want to meet him in person!"
