Chapter 9

Legend of the Rain

A long time ago, so long ago some people and boxes have forgotten this terrible war. When the Lands of Rain and Grass where at war, many lives were lost. The larger countries, as these countries were measly tribes in comparison, did not notice this war.

The Country of Rain was struck by an illness that they did not have a cure for. The country of Grass seeing an opening stepped forward and slaughtered all that lived in: Amegakure were slaughtered. This included there current leader, though his name has been forgotten in time. Maybe you could go see it on the stone of honour that is now erected in the second Amegakure.

When the Rain's leader died along with his family and all next in line to his power, the people of Rain panicked and fled into the rainforests behind Amegakure, where they bided their time and licked their wounds. During this time the Grass massacred as much of the Rain's land as possible destroying everything that the Rain had strived to build.

The Rain had suffered enough.

A year after Amegakure had fallen they led a counter charfe from the rainforest led by a man named Kawazoe. He was a wise man even though he was the youngest the Rain had to offer, all others having been killed a fateful year ago. Kawazoe and his counter charge of bitter and hardened men, took the grass by surprise. Kawazoe and his men re-took the whole of the country in a fortnight. The country of Rain elected Kawazoe the new leader of the Rain.

Kawazoe died a week later, allegedly poisoned by various assortment of Grass ANBU. When this happened the Rain did not attack the Grass as their leader Kawazoe told them not to hate as hate was fear and fear is not what he wanted them to have.

The people of Rain still believe for Kawazoe reincarnate to arrive and lead the country to revenge.

Although most people do not see this as happening anymore, there are still true believers.

Kuroda had given up all hope in this as a child and now hope of every thing had disappeared. The end had come and she was scared. She had always told her self it was a normal thing to happen and tried not to think about it. Now that it was here she was terrified.

Itachi led her through and open door and out into the yard. He looked back. Kuroda thought she saw a smile.
