Comparison: Mentor Payne, Whose Dragon-Slaying Technique Shocked The Ninja World

【Squeak~】

[The heavy iron door made a tooth-grinding sound, and the dark cell was opened, leaking out the unpleasant smell. 】

【tread!】

[Yahiko entered the cell, and a revolutionary soldier quickly guarded him, and then lit the candle in the cell. 】

【boom!】

[The thick candle was lit, and the firelight dispersed the gloomy environment, revealing the dirty and humid environment in the cell. 】

[On the bed in the corner of the cell, a ninja wearing a special Rain Shinobi Village jumpsuit is sitting. He looks at the fist-sized hole in the cell with a leisurely look. 】

[After hearing the arrival of someone in the cell, he pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose. The orange-red light reflected on the glass lenses made him look quite elegant. 】

【"Are you here to torture me?"】

[Although he said this, there was no trace of fear on his face, not even the slightest fluctuation. 】

["No." Yahiko shook his head: "I came to talk to you, Kamakura."]

["What are you talking about?" The ninja named Kamakura looked at Yahiko. 】

[But when he saw the appearance of young Yahiko, he was stunned for a while, and then recovered his distracted mind, his eyes were sharp and calm, like a snake. 】

["Talk about what you think of the Rain Country today."]

[Yahiko didn't hide anything, he asked straight to the point, and took out his notebook and pen. 】

[Kamakura’s eyes noticed the pen and notebook in Yahiko’s hand, and then he thought for a while before slowly speaking:]

["Let me guess, you didn't torture me when you came in, and you didn't want to know the information about our Rain Shinobi Village. Instead, you asked me such a nonsensical question..."]

[Kamakura crossed his arms, tapped his temples with his hands, and looked at Yahiko sharply:]

["You want to infer from my answer what kind of person I belong to, and then decide how to treat me based on the analysis?"]

["If what I expected is correct, you should have used this method to interrogate other people before me."]

[Faced with Kamakura’s analysis, Yahiko nodded and answered without any concealment:]

["Well, I'm doing a survey."]

["Research?" A trace of doubt flashed in Kamakura's eyes: "Research on what?"]

["Research on the ingredients and tendencies in Rain Shinobi ninjas." Yahiko replied:]

[Kamakura frowned and did not speak. 】

【Yahiko didn't care about his vigilant and gentlemanly attitude, and said directly:】

["The purpose of doing research is to revolutionize and get rid of this chaotic, backward country ruled by feudal lords and village warlords."]

["And you are part of the Ninja Village warlords, so I came to investigate."]

[Facing someone as direct as Yahiko, Kamakura wouldn’t be able to deal with it directly. 】

[The various secrets he has always scrutinized have no effect on Yahiko at this moment. 】

[At the same time, Kamakura was secretly surprised that this guy didn't lie at all, and didn't even feel it at all. 】

[And this kind of frankness makes people accustomed to hiding and analyzing others feel a little scared. 】

[He is like the Lion Majesty hiding in the depths of darkness. At this moment, he encounters the sun that shines on all things. He has nowhere to hide and is helpless. 】

[Kamakura asked with a sullen face: "What do you want to ask?"]

["Nothing special." Yahiko shook his head: "I just wanted to ask you what you think of the Rain Country today."]

["What do you think?" Kamakura frowned: "Are you talking about the Rain Country ruled by Hanzo-sama?"]

[Yahiko nodded and listened quietly to Granary's next words. 】

"Kamakura sighed slightly: "Although there are some problems in today's Rain Country, they are still within the acceptable range. ”]

["Even if Master Hanzō of the Salamander made some mistakes, he still led Rain Shinobi to fight against the three major powers in the ninja world and avoided more tragedies."]

【"and......"】

[Speaking of this, Kamakura looked at Yahiko and the revolutionary army cadres beside him and said:]

["Even if you defeat us, it doesn't mean that your Akatsuki organization can resist the entire Rain Shinobi Village."]

["And even if your so-called revolution succeeds in the end, how can you resist the enemies outside the Rain Country?"]

["In addition to consuming the current power of the Kingdom of Rain, your Akatsuki organization will not be of any help to the future of the Kingdom of Rain, and it is impossible to usher in any prosperous peace!"]

[After listening to Kamakura’s words, Yahiko took a pen and wrote silently in the notebook, and then made an annotation on Kamakura’s page:]

[Obscurantist. 】

[Then, Yahiko had a long chat with Kamakura about Rain Country’s system, economy, war refugees and other issues. 】

[We chatted for more than half an hour and asked all the questions about Kamakura. 】

[This kind of detailed conversation, which does not involve any information about Rain Shinobi Village, makes him, a ninja who is good at obtaining information, very uncomfortable. 】

[He felt that Yahiko asked irrelevant questions. 】

[But I won’t betray the information if I can’t, so let’s keep talking like this! 】

【Kamakura is dealing with Yahiko with this idea in mind. 】

【"Thank you for your answer, I understand."】

[After putting away the pen, Yahiko looked at Kamakura, nodded, and thanked him. 】

[After saying that, Yahiko walked out of the cell. 】

[Kamakura watched Yahiko leave in silence, and sighed deeply as the door was gradually closed. 】

【"Another careerist..."】

【"Let's go! Next one!"】

[Outside the cell, Yahiko rushed to the last Jōnin's cell without stopping. 】

[ Konan and Nagato remained silent. They were used to Yahiko's focused and serious look when he was conducting research. 】

[It is best not to disturb Yahiko at this time. 】

[And Jiraiya saw that the two of them were silent, opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and finally suppressed the doubts in his heart. 】

[After surveying so many people continuously, to be honest, Jiraiya didn’t see the trick at all. 】

[In front of the last cell door. . 】

[Yahiko glanced at the book in his hand, and Shan Yu's name was clearly written on it. 】

【Squeak~!】

[As the iron door of the cell made a heartbreaking sound, the sound woke up Rain Shinobi Jōnin who was sitting on the bed. 】

[He has a Chinese character face, and his temperament has a gentleness that is different from other ninjas. 】

[Seeing Mi (bddg) Yan and others entering, Shan Yu's eyes flashed with vigilance and alertness. 】

["Don't be nervous." Yahiko reassured: "I'm not here to interrogate you, just have a chat with you."]

["Talk about your views on the current Rain Kingdom."]

[This time Yahiko went straight in and directly interrupted Jōnin Shansame's thinking. 】

["What do I think about the Kingdom of Rain?" Shan Yu was stunned, and at the same time he began to mutter in his heart, is this some new interrogation technique? 】

[Yahiko could see his concerns and directly raised the topic: "What do you think about the current war refugee problem in the Land of Rain?"]

[Faced with Yahiko’s direct inquiry, Shan Yu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke:]

["The war refugee problem is caused by other countries. Thanks to Lord Hanzō of the Salamander, we in the Kingdom of Rain can repel the invasion of other big countries."]

["As for war refugees, there are indeed some, and I have helped some, but there are too many, and my commission is a drop in the bucket."]

["Oh!?" Yahiko looked at Shanyu with a surprised look. He did not expect that this Jōnin would also help refugees. 】

[Yahiko silently recorded the characteristics in his notebook, and then said:]

["Of course you can't support so many people by yourself, but haven't you thought about reporting this issue to Hanzō of the Salamander?"]

["Ha..." Shanyu smiled bitterly: "How could it not be, but the reply from Rain Shinobi's cabinet was that there were too many things."]

["Yes, after all, the war has just ended for more than a year. There are so many things to deal with, and the refugee issue does have to be postponed."]

[Yahiko asked again: "Do you really believe that one and a half years after the war ends, the refugee issue will not be on the agenda?"]

[Shan Yu did not answer. 】

["You should have discovered it, but you don't want to admit it..." Yahiko looked at Shan Yu and said:]

["Hanzō of the Salamander deliberately did not deal with the problem of these refugees. The purpose was to allow these refugees to form rogue bandits and invade the lords of the Land of Rain."]

["Then let the lords from various places pay for Rain Shinobi Village to quell the chaos, so as to gain more wealth and power!"]

[Shan Yu looked away from Yahiko and sighed after a while: "I don't know..."]

["After all, I'm just Jōnin. Even if I discover these problems, what can I do?"]

["I can only do my best to help some people in need."]

[Yahiko continues to annotate Shanyu in the notebook—obscurantist!]

[After doing this, Yahiko changed the topic again and asked Shan Yu’s opinion. 】

[Like the previous Jōnin, Yahiko also talked about various cultures, systems, and economies of the Rain Country, as well as their views on the major countries. 】

[In addition to these, Yahiko even made some remarks, although the ninjas avoided talking about it. 】

[After talking in detail for an hour, Yahiko ended the conversation with Shan Yu. 】

[Out of the door, Yahiko continues to the next cell. 】

[After the Jōnin investigation was completed, Yahiko took dozens of samples from Chūnin and Genin and discussed them in detail. 】

[And this survey lasted from noon to the early morning of the next day. 】

[The next day, the sun rose from the distant horizon, and Jiraiya let out a long yawn. 】

["Haha~ How long will it take for Yahiko to do this research..."]

[Nagato, who also came out for fun, turned his head and smiled at Jiraiya beside him:]

[“Because the subsequent plan was urgent, Yahiko spent all his sleep and food continuously conducting research.”]

["And this investigation didn't take too long. We previously spent almost two years investigating the Kingdom of Rain."]

[Jiraiya nodded: "That's why those great books appeared."]

[While Nagato and Jiraiya were chatting, Yahiko walked out of the dungeon door. 】

[As soon as he came out, Yahiko said to Konan non-stop:]

["Let the revolutionary army cadres and soldiers come to the square, I want to hold a meeting!"]

["Are you sure you don't want to take a rest? Yahiko." Konan said worriedly: "You have been busy all day and night."]

["It's okay." Yahiko waved his hand: "I can still hold on to this intensity."]

[Nagato asked: "Yahiko, what is the meeting this time?"]

[Yahiko raised the notebook in his hand and smiled at Nagato, Jiraiya, and Konan:]

["Of course it's a meeting about the internal ingredients of Rain Shinobi Village ninjas!"].
