Chapter 996.2: Konoha's Interests
And now, squeezed from all sides, the Rain Country had a lot of serious opponents, not the main one of which was the treacherous Danzo.
It would be just fine if the people of Rain Country did not suffer in the near future, because the future of this country was obvious to everyone — it would not be long before their newly revived economy plunged back into depression.
These were the consequences of Su Xiao and Nagato's attack on Konoha. Su Xiao didn't care about Rain Country at all. He had nothing to do with her. As for Nagato, he was different, but his outlook on the world wasn't strong enough.
Conan was helpless, and there was nothing she could do. Obito, on the other hand, was very happy. The Rain Country began to slowly descend into ruin. It could replace the power of Akatsuki. At first, he wanted to disband the Akatsuki, after all, there weren't many strong Shinobi left in this organization, and just the word "Akatsuki" caused a lot of anger among the common people.
But after learning about the current situation, Obito decided to immediately reassemble the Akatsuki.
Now, as long as Konoha didn't try to find and kill them, he didn't need to disband the Akatsuki.
Notoriety is also fame, and if it is used correctly, it will greatly help the implementation of his plan..

In the Rain Country, in a remote village.
Although it was already evening, there were many pedestrians walking through the streets of the village.
They were all wearing raincoats and dragging their tired bodies to the wine shops that could be seen everywhere.
In such a small shop, Su Xiao, Bubtni, and Amu had a quiet dinner.
The meal wasn't very sumptuous — just grilled fish, wild vegetable soup, and that was it.
Amu ate everything he saw on the table as if it was the best food on the planet. Given his terrifying appetite, this amount of food would definitely not be enough to ease his hunger for even five minutes.
For him, it was more like a pre-main meal snack.
Su Xiao chewed on his food. Since he had traveled a bit in the Rain Country in the past and stopped at a couple of villages along the way, he hadn't seen any huge changes yet.
The only thing that really caught my eye was a large number of shinobi with a leaf on the head protector.
All the Konoha shinobi claimed that they were only in the Rain Country to maintain order and increase the power of the Rain Country, so that no one would want to invade the weakened Rain Country.
In reality, they were only "civilized" invaders.
Rain Country bordered Fire Country. Not only that, the Rain Country also bordered the Wind Country and the Earth Country. After Konoha successfully placed its bases in the Rain Country and formed military supply routes, whether it was attacking the Wind Country or attacking the Wind Country, Konoha now had a huge advantage in any of the attacks.
Since the Rain Country bordered three countries at once, this was the main explanation for why wars broke out in the Rain Country without end.
If one country wanted to go to war with another, it had to first conquer the Rain Country, because it was a very good buffer zone.
After all, the Rain Country formed a triangle that separated three other countries at once.
Konoha had been eyeing Rain Country for a huge amount of time. Since the time of the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Konoha had wanted to place her people and shinobi bases in Rain Country, but back then, the Rain Country Kage, Hanzo, was very difficult to anger and even harder to kill. The two Hokages, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, attacked Rain Country a total of five times, but all of their attacks were repulsed.
In one of these battles, Hanzo even gave Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru the title of "Sannin" out of respect.».
And now that Konoha had achieved the success she had wanted for so long, she didn't hesitate to single out the person who had contributed to that success, and even though that person was only a genin, Konoha still made a "hero" out of him.».
In the end, he had fulfilled a long-standing wish of the two Hokages.
This was Su Xiao's conclusion, which was based on the history of the Naruto world.
As for the accuracy of his deduction, it was obvious based on the number of Konoha Shinobi in Rain Country.
Konoha had just survived an attack, yet she still sent so many of her shinobi to Rain Country. Koharu, the elder of Konoha, moved to Rain Country and even personally led Rain Country to prevent Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village from having a chance to put their people in the right positions.
Although Hidden Sand Village was an ally of Konoha, the benefits always came first.
Su Xiao had already gained a general understanding of the situation in Hidden Rain Village and concluded that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
As soon as he engages an enemy in his territory, Konoha will immediately send a large number of shinobi after Su Xiao's soul.
Now that the little war had come to an end, everything seemed to be back to normal, but in reality, there were dramatic changes going on behind the scenes right now.
Su Xiao hadn't been in this small village for too long. After eating, he rushed to the eastern part of the Rain Country, which bordered the territory of the Fire Country.
He wanted to check out Akatsuki's lair in the Land of Fire, maybe he could find traces of Akatsuki members there.
