"I roughly understand your intention. In the face of the evil mercenary group, Akatsuki, our Hidden Rain Village is duty-bound, as it was us who were gradually manipulated by Obito into creating this terrifying organization."
After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he turned to look at Hatake Kakashi and sighed, "But Mr. Kakashi, to be frank, there are very few ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village who can deal with Akatsuki. After all, all their members are fierce S-Class Traitors of the Ninja World.
Besides our leader, Hanzo, who can easily defeat Akatsuki, I'm the only one who can barely contend with their members. After all, we are a small nation, and during the last encirclement of Akatsuki, our regular ninjas suffered heavy losses."
"I understand what you mean."
Hatake Kakashi let out a deep sigh, looking at the worried Uehara Naraku, patting him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, we've known for a long time that Lord Hanzo must defend the Hidden Rain Village to prevent retaliation from Akatsuki. Uehara, we mainly hope for your help."
"That's good."
Uehara Naraku nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Because a few years ago, our Hidden Rain Village launched a one-sided siege in the Land of Grass, causing heavy losses to Akatsuki, they probably also hate us to the core, so Lord Hanzo cannot move lightly."
After saying that, Uehara Naraku looked at Kakashi and smiled, "I don't have any missions at the moment, and I can leave the Hidden Rain Village to support you anytime. It's just that I haven't seen my friends from Konoha for a long time."
"That's great."
A hint of a smile appeared in Hatake Kakashi's eyes. This guy, although he has experienced some hardships in life, seems to be unchanged!
Temari also breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully to Uehara Naraku, and said, "If you can help us rescue Gaara, we would be deeply grateful."
"After all, Gaara is my friend, isn't he?"
After Uehara Naraku said this, he noticed Temari's expression wasn't quite right. It seemed that he used to bully Gaara whenever they met, and he never seemed to be friendly!
Uehara Naraku hurriedly corrected himself, "You can really get to know someone through fighting! Besides, the past conflicts between the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Sand Village have left us both with many wounds. I also did many excessive things to the Hidden Sand Village back then..."
Uehara Naraku sighed and continued, "I will do my best to make amends for the wrongs I did to the Hidden Sand Village before. I hope that after our cooperation this time, we can forgive each other and let peace forever remain between the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Rain Village."
This guy Uehara Naraku has a way with words.
However, when Uehara spoke, his expression was very sincere, occasionally sighing in melancholy and adding some gestures, making him appear very earnest.
Not to mention Temari, even Hatake Kakashi, a ninja with a cold heart, was touched after listening to Uehara Naraku's words.
Temari looked at Uehara Naraku, nodded at him forcefully, and promised, "From today, I am willing to represent Gaara, who is still in an unknown place, to promise that the Hidden Sand Village will be Lord Uehara Naraku's loyal friend..."
"Hmm, but I would prefer it to be Gaara's promise."
Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead, a smile appearing on his face, "So, in order to get Gaara's promise, let's first discuss how to find his whereabouts and rescue him from Akatsuki's hands!"
