That night.

It started to rain heavily in Konoha.

It's midsummer now, so it's not unusual for it to rain heavily. However, the rain keeps falling, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of stopping.

It rained for many days in succession.

So much so that even if it's another day off, the "social beasts" in the Hokage Building still don't feel much excitement. Instead, they lie on the windowsill one by one and look at the continuous rain, and they all sigh and say——

"Hey, when I think about having to go home in the rain, I don't want to get off work at all."

"It's raining so hard, even holding an umbrella is useless."

"It's wet, it's so uncomfortable..."

"Evening tonight? I can't make a date..."

"Who wants to sit in a shop and drink together all wet? Go home, take a shower and grab something to eat..."

"The dinner before the day off is a rare pleasure in the week. To be deprived of it like this is such a bad weather!"

…

Senju Hashirama stood by the window with his sleeves folded, and a few mushrooms accidentally appeared on the Hokage hat above his head. There was no way. Although humans didn't like this kind of weather, mushrooms still liked it.

In the same office as him, Senju Tobirama, who had just finished discussing something, walked up behind his eldest brother, casually pulled out the mushrooms growing on the latter's body, took out a cloth bag from somewhere and threw it away.

Going in, I thought to myself: Let’s just eat mushroom rice tonight. In the past two days, I can almost save enough for the whole family from my eldest brother.

"Tobirama." Senju Hashirama looked at the falling rain outside the window and murmured, "It won't be good if it continues like this." He didn't hate rainy days, or maybe it was because of the characteristics of Wood Release.

He quite likes this kind of weather. Of course, in fact, strictly speaking, he likes any kind of weather, whether it’s sunny or rainy, wind, thunder or snow, in his opinion, each has its own advantages.

, he deeply loves the unpredictable nature.

But at the same time, he also knew very well——

Nature is also ruthless and cruel.

"Yeah..." Qianju Tobijian instantly understood what his eldest brother meant, "If this continues, the country of Fire may be in trouble again."

The Country of Fire has a vast territory and numerous rivers. There are probably hundreds of rivers with names in total, and there are countless unknown rivers.

However, due to the "historical issues" left over by the upper echelons of the country, the overall condition of domestic rivers is not very good. Once encountered? This kind of continuous failure

Intermittent heavy rains can easily cause various floods, such as floods, mudslides, etc. It is unknown how many people will suffer losses as a result.

There are also rivers near Konoha Hidden Village, but after the village was built, the Senju brothers worked together to rebuild the nearby rivers in advance to ensure that even if they encountered such heavy rains, they could flow smoothly and never swell.

The water then poured into the village and other tragedies occurred.

At the same time, since the summer, Senju Tobijian has arranged for people to be stationed at various points on the river, ordering them to report any possible dangers at any time. Since no one has reported it at present, it means that

?At least Konoha Village is safe.

At the same time, in the initial village construction plan, Senju Tobirama also focused on the village's "drainage system." Therefore, even if it rained for three consecutive days, there was not much accumulation on the streets in the village.

Water at least ensures that people's daily life and travel will not be affected in any way.

Thinking of this? Here, Senju Hashirama smiled: "Today, the 'takeout' in those stores... Hitomi-chan used this word, right? The takeout business has actually gotten better."

After that day, Senju Hashirama, who noticed something, hesitated again and again, but still did not make the decision not to mention the little girl in front of his brother from now on. Because this kind of behavior, maybe?

It hurts Tobirama. Since Tobirama hopes that his elder brother will just pretend that he didn't notice it and that it didn't happen, then he will be extremely cooperative.

After a brief silence, Senju Tobirama replied with a normal expression: "Yes, after all, no one wants to go out. It would be best if the store is willing to take the initiative to ask customers what they need and then deliver it diligently. Here?

Basically, even if you have to pay a little 'takeaway fee', it's easy to accept." After all, it's not easy to make money running back and forth in such weather. People who can work in this building have very good benefits.

Naturally, I don’t care about these things.

This was something the little girl mentioned casually when she was still in Konoha, and she heard that they often sent the ninja to deliver meals or buy food after working overtime. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy at such times.

Senju Hashirama secretly sighed: Tobirama is right, if Hitomi-chan is willing to stay in the village, it will undoubtedly be a very good thing, but it is a pity...

Qianju Tobirama continued: "If this continues, the great name of the country of fire might be sending out a book."

"That's right." Senju Hashirama scratched his head in annoyance.

He scratched his head and said, "Maybe? I'm going to get busy..."

The Fire Country and the Hidden Leaf Village are more like a relationship of mutual dependence, mutual checks and balances, and mutual cooperation than ordering and being ordered. The Fire Country can be uninterrupted because of the strength of Konoha.

He is developing himself wholeheartedly, and in turn, Konoha Hidden Village is constantly using this to prosper itself. At least so far, the cooperation between the two has been quite pleasant.

Precisely because of this, in this case, if the Fire Kingdom issued a letter to Konoha Hidden Village for help and asked Senju Hashirama to help him solve the immediate worries, the latter would not be able to ignore it no matter what.

Ignore them. Not to mention, the First Hokage is kind-hearted and enthusiastic. If there are many people suffering from disaster, he will definitely help.

"Brother," Senshou Tobirama raised his hand and put it on his eldest brother's shoulder, and said seriously, "please remember to save some strength when the time comes." Although he didn't think, who would have a brain twitch at this time?

Attack or assassinate his eldest brother, but what if? What if the eldest brother shows fatigue due to excessive use of wood escape? He doesn't dare to gamble, and he doesn't want to gamble.

"Don't worry, Tobirama." Senju Hashirama raised his hand to hold his brother's hand, and nodded with a smile, "I know for sure that the Fire Kingdom needs me, but the village and all of you also need me.

"and……

He thought to himself: Madara, maybe, there are many things that need my help, even for this, I have to take care of myself.

The heavy rain continues.

Not only did it cause trouble to the villagers living in Konoha, but obviously, it also caused trouble to the travelers——

"It's raining so heavily..." The little girl who had already entered the Land of Fire murmured as she looked at the continuous rain curtain in front of her.

She is currently on the back of the three-tailed tail. There is nothing she can do. Both the first-tailed and nine-tailed ones hate rain very much and do not want to be a mount on this day. Although the five-tailed tail does not hate water much, it does not like it either.

The feeling of my own four hooves stepping back and forth in the muddy water.

Kyuubi, who has become accustomed to selling his brothers to buy them, said: "It would be great if that guy Rhinoceros was here."

Rhinoceros is a giant slug with a tail. Since he was a child, he has not often played with his other brothers. Instead, he is used to finding a comfortable muddy ground to burrow in and sleep.

One Wei complained: "But that guy is so slippery that he can't sit still, right?"

Sanwei and Wuwei looked at it askance: You guy, you adapt very quickly, sell it

The beast is almost as fast as Jiulama.

But at this moment, Yiwei still showed his strength.

Although the two of them and the tailed beasts were sitting on the back of the three-tailed beast, it was carried around, but there was no shelter from the wind and rain on the three-tailed beast's back. At this time, the one-tailed beast controlled

Sand has a miraculous effect - it directly uses its own sand to create a "small tent" on Sanwei's back. Although the outer layer is inevitably wetted by water, the inside is impermeable to water.

Of course, the doors and vents are also left.

In order to prevent the wind from blowing rainwater into the small tent, One-Tail, Five-Tails and Nine-Tails sat side by side, lying down or squatting at the entrance to protect the two people inside from the wind and rain. Anyway, the tailed beasts didn't care about the wind and rain at all, so?

Not to mention you won't catch cold or get sick because of this.

Back to business.

Hearing Ichibi's argument, Kyuubi was very angry and retorted: "Don't you know how to use your own sand to wrap that guy around and turn it into a less slippery tempura slug?!"

Look, what is the ethics of a chef?

Third: "..." That's it. Suddenly I don't want to eat tempura that much. Mainly because I heard this description and it's a bit disgusting.

"Who wants to wrap that disgusting thing with sand?"

"Oh, you called the rhinoceros a 'disgusting thing', does it know?!"

…

…

Wuwei couldn't bear to be disturbed: "If you two want to talk so much, can you just sit together? Don't let me stay in the room." Help, it's really noisy...

"Who wants to talk to it!" x2

The civet cat and fox looked away at the same time.

Wuwei just felt a little pain in his stomach: "Tsundere" is a thing that only makes sense if it is placed on a good-looking human being, such as Bandan. You two are not competing against each other.

People, so don’t play this trick anymore, it’s disgusting.

The Uchiha girl wanted to laugh as she listened. The relationship between Shukaku and Kurama was still so bad, but in front of her and Madara, they just started to argue with each other from time to time, but they didn't make too much of a fuss.

But right now, she cares more about...

"If this continues, will there really be no problem with the rivers in the Country of Fire?"

Regarding the "historical issues" in the construction of rivers in the Land of Fire, they had already heard about it when they traveled in the Land of Fire. However, the last time the territory suffered a flood disaster was twenty or thirty years ago.

thing, so many people no longer take this kind of thing to heart. This is normal. After all, the Warring States Period that just ended, twenty or thirty? ten years is almost the same.

It has been more than one generation.

Uchiha Madara took out the map from the scroll he carried with him, unfolded it, looked at it, and replied: "The river near Konoha should be fine. Hashirama must have dealt with it when he built the village."

"Hmm." The little girl crawled back to him, looking down at the map, nodding and saying, "Then... wow, there are so many rivers in the territory... If the heavy rain continues like this, it may cause floods.

There should be more than one river, right?"
To be continued...
