Chapter 24: Plotting

Needless to say, the land of rain is towering, and the rainwater seeps into the mountains and rivers of the land, becoming the two sources of the north and south, creating the grasslands of the country of grass and the rivers of the country of rivers.

"That's not all, the Land of Rain is like a basin, trapping all the moisture, and a mountain range is separated by a mountain range, which causes no rain to fall in the east of the Land of Wind in the west, forming the desert where the Sand Ninja Village is located today."

"So," pointing his finger at the huge mountain range where the wind and rain meet, the blue eyes of the water gate calmly met Hanzo's puzzled gaze, "What will happen when you open this mountain range?" ”

[Open] this mountain range?

Hanzo suddenly understood what this blonde-haired Konoha boy was talking about.

Open - this - mountain -

Looking at the curve on the map, which represented the mountain range, these six words flashed through his heart again, Hanzo slowly raised his head, and from those calm eyes, he saw a device as cold and hard as an iron tool!

What will happen? If there is no rain in the land of rain...... If the vast desert of the Land of the Winds disappeared......

That kind of possibility appeared in front of him one by one, and Hanzo's always calm voice couldn't help but be a little hoarse: "The ninja of Konoha is really a little unusual. ”

Mizumen smiled faintly, put away the map, stepped back, and saluted Hanzang slightly: "At that time, if Hanzo-sama needs our Konoha Earth Ninja, of course the mission reward is easy to say." ”

After that, he lowered his hands and said nothing.

Hanzo found himself hesitating.

If you calm down, you will know that no one can guarantee what will happen after the mountain range is bulldozed, and how long and what kind of variables will happen to the climate and landforms of the country of wind, rain, grass, and river.

The Rain Country has become a fertile ground like the same high-altitude basin in the Land of Earth? The desert that was originally a burden in the Land of the Wind can be reclaimed into thousands of hectares of fertile land? Vegetation degradation in the land of grass? Kawanokuni rivers drying up?

There is no way to know for sure, the only thing that can be sure is that after this, there will be a huge [variable] in the ninja world.

Even Hanzo, who is known as the demigod of the ninja world, cannot control the uncertain variables.

Faced with such variables, Hanzo was shocked to find himself hesitating.

Makoto is on one side, his body relaxed, his hands hanging slightly, and he remains in a position that can be seen by the rain shinobi in the dark.

Hanzo's reaction was expected, and Mizumon had asked before - there are many countries around the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, so why is there a constant war between these two countries?

Of course, the reasons are complicated, but one of the most important reasons, as the leader of the rain ninja, Hanzo must be very clear in his heart.

The reason why the war is waged is nothing more than for the sake of profit.

Ninja's interests come from the rewards of their tasks, so where do the countries that issue missions drive ninjas to go to war (daimyo)?

Land, population, resources.

The White Fang incident has come to an end, but the territorial dispute that led to the death of the White Fang shows how much importance the daimyo of the two countries attached to it.

Among the countries of the ninja world, the land of the land of fire is the most abundant, and the products are also the richest.

The second is the land of water with a large territorial sea, the land of thunder with many peaks and springs, the land of the land with barren land but rich in minerals, and finally the country of wind with severe desertification.

The rest of the small countries, although there are occasional countries with rare real estate, so everyone is rich, but such countries often have all their property monopolized by the big powers on both sides, and the reason why they can exist safely is only because the big powers check and balance each other, and no matter their influence and military power, they cannot be compared with the big powers at all.

Among them, there is a genius like Hanzo in the Land of Rain, who almost single-handedly supports half of the sky of the Land of Rain, and he himself secretly has the ambition to contend with the great powers and call himself the Rain Shadow.

Yes, in World War II in the ninja world, although other small countries are just playing some soy sauce in the corners, but the rain ninja is allied with the rock ninja and the sand ninja, and the Konoha and Cloud ninja alliances are fighting in the dark.

The cause of the war - precisely for [the land].

Not only was the Daimyo of the Land of Rain dissatisfied with the land under his jurisdiction that was rainy all year round, but so was Hanzo, who had ambition and ambition.

Why can the land of fire, Konoha enjoy the most fertile forests and land?

Looking at the fertile land that is only separated by a wall and is simply within easy reach, the Land of Rain is extremely hot.

In contrast, the two countries of wind and earth, which have a small country as a buffer between them and the land of fire, have less urgent demands on land, and the reason for starting a war is that there are other needs and considerations besides this.

So, now that there is such a way to improve the climate of the country's land, what will be the reaction of Hanzo, who has been stumbling for half his life, and who is suffering from unpaid ambitions?

Makoto smiled coldly and looked forward again.

Hanzo's expression was a little complicated.

Bulldozing mountains and changing the world, this strategy, which no one had thought of before, was bold to the extreme, but it was also atmospheric to the extreme.

This sentence, involving the five countries of wind, earth, rain, river, and grass, can be said to almost inevitably disrupt the future of the entire ninja world.

For Hanzo, this is both an opportunity and a danger.

However, what really moved Hanzo in Rongma's life was the blonde boy in front of him.

The wind, the earth, the rain, the river, and the grass have almost stirred up half of the ninja world, but there is one force that can stay out of the matter with a cold eye.

Fire Country、No, it should be said that Konoha。

The current situation was originally an alliance between the three powerful countries of the ninja villages, Wind, Earth, and Rain, to fight against Konoha.

If the terrain is changed, of course, the strength of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind will be strengthened - these are the two weakest players.

For Konoha, the worst-case scenario is just to face a slightly stronger opponent than during World War II.

From the young man's jade-like calm posture, Hanzo clearly read the words in his heart.

――To put it mildly, even if the wind and rain become stronger, Konoha has the confidence to overpower them!

Not to mention, the wind and rain have become stronger and the land has become more fertile, but how unlikely it is that the two will still form an alliance as they did during World War II!

Not to mention anything else, on the side of the couch, how can the country of the earth allow both to sleep peacefully at the same time?

Who knows if Yunin and Konoha, who are fighting endlessly today, will become allies one day in the future?

Hanzo could not refuse, and would not refuse, this possibility.

The good strategists seek power, the bad ones seek their sons, the ups and downs of the ninja world in the next ten or twenty years, have they been seen at a glance by these young and energetic blue eyes?

Maybe he was really old, and Hanzo suddenly felt a little tired.
