Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Years ago, Watanabe Tetsu delivered a pivotal speech in a tavern within the Land of Rain. Decades later, he ascended to the position of Rainkage. During his inauguration ceremony, reporters questioned him on the origins of the more than one hundred major reforms that propelled the Land of Rain to the pinnacle of the ninja world. These initiatives included work relief programs, the establishment of banks, currency reform, and technological development. Smiling, Tetsu attributed his success to two forces: "All of this is thanks to the people of the Land of Rain and the Akatsuki. It is the diligence and hard work of our citizens that have made this nation greater, and it is the superiority of the Akatsuki that has brought us glory." This narrative explores the rise of the Land of Rain over the past decade, viewed through the perspectives of its citizens and the Akatsuki organization. The story serves as the basis for Question 12 on the Land of Rain’s 12th National Civil Service Examination.
