Chapter 188: Salamander, Confusion and Truth
___________ POV Narration ___________
Ken stepped into Hanzo's office and sat down on the Kage's chair whilst waiting with his legs crossed.
With a flick of his finger, all of the Anbu that had been present in the room fell unconscious, all tangled up in strings almost as if they had been captured by a spider to be consumed at a later date.
The Amegakure village was uncharacteristically quiet as the Blind Monster's senses washed over it, it was as if they were preparing for war, which was quite confusing.
'Why would the atmosphere be this tense after half a decade of peace? Why has the merchant's guild or the spy network not informed me of this? Unless it's a new development...'
The Amegakure's position had always been bad. The Land of Rain was turned into a battlefield by all surrounding nations, forced to get plunged into wars over and over again, wars that they had no stake in.
The era of the Salamander came, one of the strongest shinobi in their generation, he swore to protect the Land of Rain and protect it he did.
He fought hard and repelled countless powerful shinobi all on his own. Gaining a reputation and infamy almost on par with the current God of Shinobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi. But he was only one man, his land was still torn apart by war, and there was little he could do about it.
The period of peace must have been good for him as well, which really only confused Ken further. 'Why would he go and get rid of the Akatsuki?'
