Although he heard that it was not going well, Hanzo did not show any worry on his face, but said, "It's good to be able to do this to this extent." ”

With that, he closed his eyes a little tiredly, as if he was thinking about what to do next.

Long Yu and Shi Yu both stood aside silently, waiting for Hanzo's orders.

After a short while, Hanzo opened his eyes, looked at the two people standing in front of him, and said, "The daimyo of Kawanokuni, have you seen it?"

Shi Yu shook his head and said, "The whole country of Sichuan is very supportive of the Ghost Lantern Clan, and our people have found a way to meet the Daimyo, but the Daimyo himself is not willing to get involved with us. “

The land of Kawanokuni is long and narrow, facing the sea on one side, bordering the Land of Rain on the other side deep inland, and surrounded by the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind on both sides. Although the country is large, the country is not rich because the terrain and climate of the country are not suitable for farming, and there are no large-scale minerals in the country, and the pressure exerted on them by other countries around them has not been able to cultivate their own ninja village before.

And this time, the Ghost Lantern clan failed in the political struggle within the Land of Water and had to go to the mainland, which can be said to be a perfect match with the upper echelons of the country of Sichuan.

One side wants a group of elite ninjas who have no heels to defend the country, and the other side wants a piece of territory where their family can rest and recuperate, plus the two sides have some private contacts during the Ghost Lantern Fantasy Moon period, so the two sides have relatively smoothly decided on a cooperation plan: Kawanokuni will help the Ghost Lantern clan establish a ninja village in Kawanokuni, and this ninja village will also shoulder the task of defending Kawanokuni.

Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the country of Kawanoku are naturally unwilling to have anything to do with the country of rain.

The Land of Rain is in the Land of Four Wars, and in the eyes of the Country of Kawano, it is a complete bane. In addition, once the two sides cooperate, with the help of the strong force of Yuyin Village, the power of the Rain Country will further erode the interests of the local noble lords of the Kawa Country. As a result, Hanzo's plan for "Amagawa Cooperation" was naturally difficult to gain the support of the Kawanokuni leadership.

Even now that the Ghost Lantern Clan has entered the country of Kawano, this plan has not been substantially advanced not so long ago.

For the Ghost Lantern clan, who has been greatly injured at this time, a powerful collaborator may not bring a sense of security, but a vigilance and vigilance that must be paid for.

However, this changed not so long ago. To be exact, it was changed after the return of the ghost lantern flower pear to the family.

Hanzo stood up and said to the two, "The location of the Land of Rain is really too poor, and without the Land of Kawa as a way out, sooner or later we will be eaten by the surrounding powers." You go, immediately organize the men and horses, divide into two roads, all the way to the north, you must temporarily block the offensive of the country of Taki. Along the way, the two of you are personally in command. On the other hand, I will personally lead the way south to the country of Kawanoku, and I will open the door to the country of Kawanokuni for Yuyin. ”

Hearing Hanzang say that he was going to take action in person, Shi Yu didn't say anything, but Long Yu asked casually, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't the patriarch of the Shui Wuyue clan promise us to help, why do you want to go in person, my lord?"

Hanzo shook his head and said, "The Kawano-Kuni is our place to settle down in the future, and I must go there myself." ”

Speaking of this, a strange color flashed in Hanzang's eyes, and then he continued: "Besides, is the patriarch of the Shui Wuyue clan a good person? ”

After listening to Hanzang's words, Long Yu and Shi Yu didn't say anything else, they both leaned over slightly, and then went out separately to carry out Hanzang's order.

It's also a coincidence, Taki's village invaded Yuyin in the south, wanting to get Yuyin's elite ninja team, but Yuyin was also thinking about the southern invasion at the same time, thinking about gaining strategic depth from the country of Sichuan, but he didn't know which side of the two sides could achieve his goal.

The battlefield on the northern front of the Land of Rain.

Due to the inherent high mobility and extremely destructive power of the ninja class, it is generally difficult to have a large-scale battle unless the two sides of the war are deliberately promoted, and the main mode of warfare is a short but intense encounter.

And just outside this small town, a skirmish has just taken place.

More than a dozen ninjas from Rain Hidden Village and a similar number of Takakin Village scout ninjas suddenly encountered here, and then the two sides launched an attack on the enemy at the first time.

Although the average ninja level in Takikuin Village is high, their combat experience is far inferior to that of their counterparts in Yuyin Village, and they finally left a few corpses behind and chose to "turn in" after a stalemate for a while. The ninjas of Yuyin Village were afraid of the support that the ninjas might come at any time, so they did not choose to pursue, but retreated to the town to rest.

Not far from the area of the battle between the two sides, three people stood on the huge trunk of a tree, two of them were on guard, while the other was constantly sketching on the scroll in his hand, recording something.

After a while, the man put away the scroll, stood up, and sighed, "Although Yuyin Village is small, the quality of grassroots ninjas is indeed very unusual. At the same level and number, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my Konoha ninja to defeat them easily. ”

One of the two people in charge of the guard said: "Over the years, there has been almost no fighting in their village, and it is inevitable that they will be provoked everywhere. ”

After that, the other interjected and said, "Okay, now that the information has been gathered, let's go back." After all, this is still a war zone, and if it is discovered, there is still a danger. ”

Soon, the information collected by the three of them, as well as the observation notes of the battle at the scene, were confiscated, and then sent back to Konoha Hidden Village. There are many battlefield observation groups like them, which are densely distributed throughout the northern battlefield of the Rain Country, and they are constantly collecting information on the battle of Takiyu for the decision-makers of Konoha Hidden Village.

In the process of gathering intelligence, it is natural that there will be occasional groups that will be discovered. In such a chaotic situation, such third-party intelligence agents will generally be eliminated, and only a small part will be left behind for future exchanges with the ninja village to which they belong.

Of course, it is not only Konoha Hidden Village that sends intelligence personnel to the warring area, and almost every major country on the entire continent will send reconnaissance ninjas to this area at such a time, but a few countries around it will send more of them.

As for the reason, it is naturally because it is always necessary to collect more information about the enemy before going out in person.
