Not to mention that a group of people from the Mizuki Clan led by Ryohei Mizuki fled from Kugawa Castle in embarrassment, not far north of Kugawa Castle, at this time, a large ninja force had also arrived.

At this time, in a temporary camp, Hanzo was surrounded by a group of subordinates, watching Kukawa Castle from a distance.

Although the national strength of the country of Sichuan is not strong, as the face of a country, Jiuchuan Castle is still quite majestic from a distance. The whole city is built on the mountain, and a large river surrounds the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack at a glance.

Hanzo looked at it for a while, turned his head, and said to the people around him, "Really no Xiongcheng!"

Most of the people around him were the high-level people of Yuyin Village, and after listening to Hanzo's words, they naturally responded one after another.

But there are exceptions.

For example, a woman standing next to Hanzo.

The woman had short hair, was of medium height, had a resolute expression, and her lips were gently pursed. When others look at her, words such as capable, tenacious, and stubborn will naturally pop up in their minds.

Just now, everyone else echoed Hanzo's words, but she was the only one who didn't say a word, and it seemed quite abrupt in the crowd for a while.

Seeing this, Hanzo smiled and said to her, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the nobles for their help this time." Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to get here quickly. After you go back, please tell the nobleman, please rest assured, when he joins my Yuyin Village in the future, I will definitely not treat the nobleman badly. ”

As Hanzo said this, many of the high-level Yuyin executives on the side also smiled and looked at the woman.

But when the woman's expression changed when she heard this, she immediately opened her mouth and said to Hanzo: "My clan understands the good intentions of my lord, but my lord said something wrong. This time, our clan is cooperating with the adult's Yuyin, and in the future, our clan and the adult will jointly establish a new ninja village, but not one side will join the other. ”

After hearing her say this, Hanzo didn't say anything, but a rain ninja on the side stood up and said to the woman, "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so sensitive. I, Yuyin, naturally want to unite with the nobles to establish a new ninja village, but this snake can't be headless, and if it is placed on a ninja village, the reason is the same. ”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands and saluted Hanzang, and then continued to say to her: "Now that I, Yuyin and the nobles, are both strong enemies outside, and they are in danger. At this time, it is natural that there should be a person who can take on the responsibility of the village head to serve as the head of the new ninja village. And Hanzo-sama, who led me to stand in the land of the four battles of the rain country, has not fallen for many years, which shows the ability of Hanzo-sama. Therefore, in the following opinion, after the establishment of Shinnin Village, Hanzo-sama should be the head of the village. ”

The woman gritted her teeth and wanted to refute, but she also knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would be useless, and it would be easy to make the high-level Yuyin present unhappy, so she simply said directly: "It's too early to say this at this time, and in the future, the adults can personally discuss this matter with the patriarch of my clan." ”

Hanzo smiled slightly, didn't say more, and then ordered his subordinates: "Whole team, send someone to inform the rear that our army has entered the city of Jiuchuan, and it will be able to enter the city immediately, so let them advance immediately." ”

This so-called "rear force" is actually an army composed of nobles, officials, and samurai in the Land of Rain. Hanzo informed them to march towards the country of Kawano, that is, he had already decided in his heart that Kukawa Castle was already in his bag, and everything was under control.

Once these brigades of the Rain Country enter the Kawa Country, they will definitely begin to establish their rule over the Kawa Country. And Hanzo's plan of "Rain River Merger" also became the annexation of Kawa Country by the Land of Rain from this moment.

……

On the other side, the northern front of the Land of Rain.

By this time, all countries had already received the news that the Hanzo Commander Rain Hidden Ninja had marched south and invaded the country of Kawano.

It can be said that except for the Shui Wuyue clan, who knew the news in advance, no party in the entire ninja world could have imagined that Hanzo would lead the remaining rain ninjas south while fighting fiercely with the ninjas of Takihide Village on the northern front.

Therefore, when the news came, the army was stationed in the northern part of the Land of Rain, and the country of Taki, Fire, Wind, and Earth, all of which were greatly shaken.

In particular, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind had a large area and a long border with both countries, so as soon as the news reached the two countries, the high-ranking officials of the two countries immediately ordered the front-line troops to stop Hanzo from entering the country of the main river.

The presiding officer of the Fire Country on the front line is Shimura Danzo, and although he has also had a cooperative relationship with Hanzo before, Hanzo naturally will not inform him about his imminent invasion of Kawanokuni. Therefore, as soon as the news came, he was also quite caught off guard.

On the other side, the presiding officer of the Wind Country on the front line is a young woman named Chiyo. This woman, Chiyo, is one of the best of the younger generation in the Sand Ninja Village, and is known for her research on poison and puppetry, and is very prestigious in the village.

Similar to Shimura Danzo, although there was a strict order from the country to immediately find a way to prevent Hanzo from entering the country of Zhuchuan, according to the latest news, Hanzo is probably about to advance to Kukawa Castle at this time. In such a situation, she has great ability, but she also feels powerless against the orders of the country.

Not only that, at this time, in this small area in the northern part of the Rain Country, the Rain Hidden Ninjas, the Takihide Ninjas, the Fire Country Army, the Earth Country Army, and the Wind Country Army have gathered.

None of these five parties is easy to mess with. Therefore, in a certain form, all parties at this time have been restrained in a sense, and neither party dares to act rashly.

There is no doubt that except for the rain hidden ninjas led by the dragon rain who are ecstatic about this, the other four parties, none of them, want to see Hanzo finally succeed in the country of Kawanoku.

Before that, the other three parties in the Quartet except for Takino were all competing for interests, all trying to take advantage of the warring Rain Country and Takino Country. And now, after the news of Hanzang's large-scale march into the country of Sichuan, it is natural that the atmosphere between the four parties has changed a little.

If anyone can monitor all the intelligence activities in the northern part of the Rain Country at this time, they will find that in recent days, intelligence officers and diplomats have been communicating with each other almost all night in the camps of the armies of several countries.

The Rain Hidden Ninjas led by Long Yu also discovered this, but at this time, they no longer had the ability to use some means in the collusion between several countries, so they had to retreat into the camp and wait for new orders from Hanzo.

Three days later, the four kingdoms of Fire, Taki, Earth, and Wind reached an agreement and issued a joint statement demanding that Hanzo immediately stop its invasion of Kawanokuni and immediately withdraw from the territory of Kawanokuni.
