Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 82 Adoption Center

Ninjas value efficiency, so the negotiations between the Akatsuki and the Rain Ninja only took half a day.

At Yahiko's insistence, Hanzo backed down and allowed Akatsuki to gain semi-independent status.

However, Hanzo also had his demands.

"As long as the Land of Rain is invaded, the Akatsuki must fight unconditionally and stand with the Rain Ninja to fight the enemy. You cannot hide in the rear and not contribute. This is the basis of cooperation and your value!"

Although Shin was worried that Hanzo would deliberately weaken the Akatsuki, he couldn't find a suitable excuse to refuse, so Yahiko agreed.

After the negotiations ended and the Akatsuki left, Hanzo stood at the palace window, watching Yahiko and the others disappear into the rain.

"Lord Hanzo, they've gone too far. We shouldn't back down."

Hearing Shigeo Shima's complaints, Hanzo laughed helplessly.

"The strength of the Great Ninja Village is too great. It will be difficult for us to resist on our own. We need to unite more forces. This is something we must do."

At this point, Hanzo paused, then confidently said, "As for how to deal with the Akatsuki after the threat has lessened, that's another matter. They won't escape my grasp."

Shigeo Shima understood the meaning behind Hanzo's words and said with conviction, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Back in Maple Leaf Canyon, all members of the Akatsuki wore Rain Ninja headbands and officially became Rain Ninja.

"Masao, this is a long sword for you, it cost me a lot of money. Also, this is a set of steel building blocks for Kanae, she can play with them for a long time!"

Ooka Shin returned home and brought out two gifts.

Masao was overjoyed, looking at the long sword from left to right, reluctant to put it down.

Kanae picked up the building blocks in front of her and threw them against the wall with a loud, metallic sound. Kanae clapped her hands and laughed foolishly, then picked up another building block and started smashing it around.

Ooka Shin looked at the small dent in the wall, gasped, picked up Kanae and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Her kung fu is amazing! The responsibility of maintaining world peace in the future is now in your hands!"

"Hey hey hey."

The female knight Kanae was so happy that snot bubbled from her nose and dripped onto Ooka Shin's clothes.

Ooka Shin was filled with laughter, while Kyusuke secretly summoned Daibutsu to inquire about the details of his meeting with Amegakure.

The Buddha explained in detail, and finally said, "Kyusuke, Shin has offered many useful suggestions. You don't need to doubt him so much."

Kyusuke, however, remained resolute: "The leader is too kind; we must be wary of bad people for him! He's fine this time, but his true purpose will be exposed sooner or later! We absolutely cannot let our guard down!"

To this, the Buddha could only say, "If you doubt Xin, I can't stop you. However, you cannot do anything to harm the organization in order to deal with Xin, or I will absolutely not forgive you!"

Kyusuke laughed: "I'm doing this for the good of the organization. Why are you treating me like a bad guy? Don't worry, I'm just keeping an eye on Xin. As long as he doesn't betray the organization, I won't take any action."

The Buddha nodded: "That's best."

Rain Village has temporarily calmed down, and Ooka Shin continues his training, killing, nurturing Masao, and focusing on Nagato's development of the Rinnegan.

"Kyosuke and Chisuke are injured and resting, Yamori is traveling everywhere, and Ooka Shin only knows how to fawn over Nagato. Only I, the big guy, am the most tired."

When Kiichiro woke up in the morning, he thought about the latest news that everyone was exchanging in his dream and felt that he was too busy and out of place with them.

"Young master, this is the orphanage."

After the meal, Kiichiro, led by Mikuri Tomokazu, arrived at a town, found an underground market, and met the head of the adoption agency.

"Young master, which children do you need? We have everything here!"

The person in charge was a little old man with a small mustache. He led Kiichiro to the VIP room and boasted about his abilities.

After Kiichiro sat down, he said directly, "I am a kind-hearted person, so I want to adopt a few orphans, around six or seven years old, and in good health."

“No problem. During this period, the Moon Kingdom was embroiled in war, and many towns were destroyed. We have found a large number of orphans, and you can take your time to choose.”

Hearing the other person's words, Oniichiro sneered inwardly, "Did they find this orphan?"

If Ooka Shin had been captured by the rogue ninja back then, you probably would have "found" him too.

Kiichiro didn't expose the person in charge's lie and followed them down to the underground, where they saw a group of ragged children.

Judging from their thin bodies, the children were living a terrible life. But it was a miracle they were even alive in the war. It's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky.

Ooka Shin always praises Masao and Kanae as geniuses, and is often very proud of it. Kiichiro also wants to find a few geniuses.

However, looking at the many children with fearful expressions, Kiichiro couldn't tell who had any talent.

"Or, let Ooka Shin borrow the Rinnegan again and use its power to observe their talents. But I've never heard of the Rinnegan being able to see talents."

Standing at the door, Kiichiro hesitated when he heard a timid voice.

"Um... are you here to adopt someone...? Could you adopt Itakura Ko...? He's sick and needs treatment..."

A little boy with a black birthmark on his face took a step forward and looked at Kiichiro with hopeful eyes.

When the adoption agency staff saw the boy speaking without permission, they were about to teach him a lesson, but the person in charge stopped them, and the surroundings became quiet.

Yes, something interesting happened.

Kiichiro carefully examined the little boy, his gaze drawn to the birthmark on his face.

The black birthmark on the right side of his face stretched from his forehead to his chin, resembling a grotesque grin of a ghost or a spreading vine.

Add to that the child's wide forehead, thick lips, high cheekbones, and droopy eyes, and wow, he's exceptionally unattractive.

Kiichiro adopted the air of a rich kid, arrogantly raising his head and speaking in a very unpleasant manner.

"You ugly thing, you almost scared me to death. That guy you mentioned, Itakura Ko, must be ugly too. I only want good-looking people."

The little boy was called ugly and sadly lowered his head, but when he heard the rest, he felt there might be a turning point, so he immediately looked up and started to defend himself.

"No, no, Itakura Ko isn't ugly, he's very handsome."

At this moment, the person in charge noticed that Kiichiro was interested and began to introduce the matter.

"This child is called Onifuji. Although he is ugly, he is physically strong and will be able to work hard as long as he is well fed. As for Itakura Ko, although he is often sick, he is indeed outstanding in appearance."

The person in charge waved his hand, and his subordinates brought out the child who had challenged Cang Huang and placed him in front of Gui Ichiro.

Still remembering his persona, Oniichiro took two steps back, covered his mouth with a look of disgust, and said, "It's not some kind of infectious disease, is it?"

The person in charge explained with a smile, "Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have kept him. He's perfectly normal most of the time, but every month or two, he'll suddenly wail in pain, get a fever, and then fall into a coma. He'll wake up after two or three days and return to normal without any aftereffects."

In fact, if no one buys Bancanghuang in the next few days, the person in charge should dispose of it to avoid wasting food.

Kiichiro crouched down and couldn't help but glance at the handsome young man with his eyes closed.

Wow, he's so handsome at such a young age. He'll be amazing when he grows up, a real menace to the nation!
