Chapter 562: The Base Completion
In the Land of Rain, more than ten kilometers west of the Amegakure Village.
This place was originally just a dilapidated abandoned village, but it was completely flattened and renovated a few days ago.
The purpose is, of course, to build the so-called headquarters base of the peacekeeping force.
At this time, the project has obviously entered the final stage, and many ordinary villagers in the Land of Rain are busy cleaning up the construction waste left after the construction.
These villagers, in truth, did not fully grasp why a joint force from the ninja world's great powers would establish its headquarters base in the Land of Rain.
When asked about ninja world peace or the benefits of neutral status, they could only offer vague understanding.
However, at this moment, these villagers who are busy like ordinary worker ants, although they are very tired physically, still have a smile on their faces.
It seems that building this inexplicable base is more enjoyable than building their own house.
And the reason why these villagers can work so hard for this construction work that has nothing to do with them.
In addition to the daily reward of ten times the salary.
It was because of the second scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
Even working in such hot weather would consume more physical strength.
These ordinary civilians of the Land of Rain who were sweating profusely were always happy to do it.
"If you ask me, these ninjas are really powerful. Look at the leader Yahiko. He just raised his hand and created such a big sun in the sky."
After unloading the heavy objects on the open space, a middle-aged man took a short break, wiped the sweat from his neck, and looked at the small sun in the sky with a smile.
Even though his eyes were slightly uncomfortable because he looked directly at the scorching sun, he still seemed reluctant to move his eyes away.
Another young man from the same village as this man saw the middle-aged man stop here and sighed, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Uncle, I remember you didn't say that originally? Haha, I don't know who said that, if you work for a ninja master, run away as soon as you can, and don't get involved."
The middle-aged man was teased by such a young man, and his slightly rough old face immediately turned slightly red.
He tried to refute it with some slurred speech.
"I'm talking about ordinary ninjas. Yahiko-sama is a god-like figure, how can he be the same as an ordinary ninja?!"
However, just after he finished speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to feel that what he said was a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly looked around carefully. Seeing that there seemed to be no ninja masters around, he was slightly relieved.
Looking at his thief-like movements, the young man who had just laughed at him found it even more interesting, and immediately showed off the gossip he had just heard.
"Are you still thanking Yahiko-sama? Although Chief Yahiko is also very powerful, this magic that can make the sun appear in the sky was taught to Chief Yahiko by the leader of the Kirigakure Village, Mizukage-sama, because he felt sorry for the hard life of our Land of Rain!"
Although his words were irrelevant and he couldn't even distinguish between ninjutsu and magic, he still attracted the admiring gazes of many villagers who were resting around, and they rushed to ask where he heard the news from.
This made the young man very proud, as if he had 'made' the sun in the sky himself.
However, these villagers who were discussing enthusiastically did not know that Mizukage-sama, who they said was more powerful than a god, was also talking to others about this scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
On the road leading to the base of the Maintenance Force from the Amegakure Village.
Nearly three hundred ninjas were marching towards the base in a mighty manner.
The leaders were the Kages of the five great ninja villages who came to watch the ceremony today.
On the contrary, Yahiko, the leader of the Amegakure Village, could only quietly follow the five Kages even on his own territory, without any right to interrupt.
Onoki, who was floating beside Kaito with the 'Light-Weight Rock Jutsu', looked at the smaller sun in the sky, curled his lips and complained.
"Mizukage-sama is really generous. This secret technique that can easily change the battlefield is given away just like that?"
Kaito, who was distracted at first, just smiled indifferently when he heard Onoki's words.
"Is it precious? In fact, it's just a small ninjutsu I made up to enjoy a more comfortable weather. Tsuchikage-sama doesn't need to care too much."
At this moment, not only Onoki, who spoke, but also the other Kages who were eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, were choked.
However, no one present could refute Kaito's words.
There is no other reason. The number of ninjutsu that this Mizukage has 'made up' is really frightening.
Just the ninjutsu and secret techniques known by the intelligence of the great ninja villages are enough to arm a small ninja village from scratch.
There are many A-rank and even S-rank ninjutsu.
If he is not too young, the title of 'The Professor' will fall on this Mizukage.
For a moment, several ninjas fell into silence.
Then, in this quiet and strange atmosphere, a group of hundreds of people finally arrived at the location of the Maintenance Force base.
At this time, the ordinary civilians who were busy here before had already finished their work and evacuated. Only a few ninjas from the Amegakure Village were left waiting at the new base.
One of them, a plain-looking black-haired young man, walked up quickly, saluted respectfully to everyone, and then spoke softly.
"Chief, all the Kages-sama, the construction of the headquarters base of the Maintenance Force has been completed. Please move into the base. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin soon."
Seeing the black-haired young man come forward and speak, Yahiko, who had been following the five Kages and had not spoken the whole time, also smiled and introduced.
"This is our Amegakure Village's elite jonin Pain. He will join the Maintenance Force as our Amegakure Village's representative. He has already familiarized himself with the entire base in advance in the past few days. You can…"
However, Yahiko was interrupted by the impatient Kazekage Rasa when he was halfway through his introduction.
"Stop talking nonsense. Cutting the ribbon and getting familiar with the base can all be put aside! Let's select the commander of this force first, and then do these useless ceremonies!"
Rasa interrupted at this time, although he didn't mean to give face to the Amegakure Village.
However, even Kaito and Namikaze Minato, who had a good relationship with the Amegakure Village, did not criticize Rasa at this time.
As a village not belonging to the five great ninja villages, the Amegakure Village would be criticized for joining this army.
This dissatisfaction is just the tip of the iceberg.
However, the Amegakure Village ninja named Pain frowned slightly at Rasa.
