Chapter 181: Hanzo's scruples
Two days later, the Land of Rain.
"Shimizu Soseki?" Hanzo, who was wearing a mask, let out a dull voice, "I was able to defeat Shimura Danzou and even become the commander of the combined forces of the two villages...... It's been a long time since I've seen such a dazzling genius! β
"Hanzo-sama, what should we do?"
The shinobi looked at Hanzo with their eyes adored like gods.
Unlike other ninja villages, the upper ninja meeting in Yuyin Village is completely a decoration, and the affairs of the village are all decided by Hanzo Yiyan.
But instead of resisting, they were willing to do so.
The Land of Rain borders the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind at the same time, and it can be said that Hanzo is the credit of being able to grow up in such a harsh environment surrounded by heroes, and even faintly showing signs of becoming the sixth largest ninja village.
The demigod is just an honorific title for him in other villages, and in the Land of Rain, his title is "God"!
At this moment, the "god" spoke, "I originally wanted to wait for them to continue the fight and eat it on both sides, but now it seems that a decision must be made." What are the conditions given by both of them? β
A Yugakure Shinobi said, "The conditions given by Konoha are still the same as before, and there are not many changes, but Iwakuin not only agreed to our request, but even agreed to help us replace Shayin's position and become the new five great powers of the ninja world after defeating the alliance between Konoha and Shayin!" β
As the words fell, everyone in the room breathed rapidly.
Their ambition is only to become the sixth great country in the ninja world, replacing Sha Yin to become the new five great powers in the ninja world, which is something they can't even think of, but now they are being put on the table by Iwakure.
"Lord-sama, promise them! So that our dreams can come true! β
"Yes, anyway, we offended Sha Yin badly, rather than being liquidated afterwards, it is better to make a decision now!"
But in the midst of these agitations, there are also opposing voices.
"Iwakuin even put forward this condition, doesn't it mean that even they themselves are not optimistic about their future?"
"Although the conditions given by Iwakuin are very tempting, if we are not careful, we will even lose ourselves!"
While the two sides were arguing, they invariably set their eyes on Hanzo.
Their opinions are only for reference, and only God can really make decisions.
Hanzo raised his head and said coldly, "The new five powers? It's just nice to say. If your own strength is not enough, no amount of support is useless, and in the end, you may even become a puppet supported by them! β
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, "Then we choose Konoha?" β
However, Hanzo shook his head, "Iwakure is unreliable, but I can't trust Konoha even more!" β
"Huh? Why is that? β
Hanzo didn't explain directly, but turned to other topics, "What do you think of the organization that suddenly appeared and was called 'Akatsuki'?" β
Hearing Hanzo mention "Xiao", all the Yuyin Shinobi were a little confused.
"Huh? Is there such an organization? β
"I seem to have heard, I heard that it was an organization founded by a few imps dedicated to peace in the ninja world!"
"Peace? Haha, there are still people who believe in this kind of thing? It's so stupid and cute! β
"Don't underestimate them, when I knew about this organization, I heard that they had absorbed quite a few people."
Hanzo Urn said angrily, "Although naΓ―ve, but those three little guys are not simple, I sent people to follow them, but they all failed without exception!" β
"After a few failed tracking failures in a row, they couldn't resist it! As a result......" Speaking of this, even Hanzo's eyes showed a hint of shock, "After the battle broke out, they didn't even survive for half a minute!" β
"How is that possible?" Shinobu is unbelievable on the field, Hanzo-sama has always been cautious, and those who can be sent out by him to carry out tasks will definitely not be weak.
How could such an elite ninja be defeated in such a short period of time, and still lose at the hands of a few imps!
Shocked, someone realized that something was wrong, "Hanzo-sama, since they failed, how did you know this information?" β
Hanzo had a strange look in his eyes, "Of course they told me, after being defeated, those little ghosts told them a lot about the idea of peace, and then let them back!" β
"What? They even took the initiative to let the enemy go! β
All the upper ninjas almost have to doubt life, how did such a naΓ―ve ninja survive until now?
Hanzo gently kneaded his fingers, "However, they did bring me an interesting piece of information, those three imps are a combination of two men and one woman, they are extremely talented, but the ninjutsu they can use is completely different from the mainstream ninjutsu of our rain country!" β
"What does this make you think of?"
Arijo Shinobu asked tentatively, "Could it be the three little ones who were instructed by Konoha Jiraiya?" β
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people shouted excitedly.
"Impossible, weren't they dead when we went to invite?"
"Could it be our native genius in the Land of Rain?"
It's not for nothing that they're so excited.
In their opinion, it is an honor for every citizen of the Land of Rain to be invited by Lord Hanzo, and this kind of thing is definitely a blasphemy and betrayal of the Land of Rain!
Hanzo's face was gloomy, "Hmph! Where did so many geniuses come from in this world? Forget one, three? Am I really stupid? β
With his control of the Land of Rain, how could he not discover the existence of Jiraiya in three years?
The truth is that he thinks that with his prestige in the Land of Rain, it is too easy to subdue the three imps, so he has been resigned to it, as if he didn't know about the existence of Jiraiya.
After all, although his strength was far stronger than that of Jiraiya at that time, when it came to heritage and teaching, he was not as good as Jiraiya, the three generations of Hokage's personal disciples.
It's a pity that when he later sent his men to invite, he only got the news that the three of them were dead.
He regretted it at the time, but now it seems that these three little ghosts are simply playing tricks on him!
"I don't want to be my subordinate, and even fake my death to get out, and now I have run out and set up a 'Xiao' organization......" Hanzo's voice was low, "I have to suspect that their appearance is a nail deliberately planted by Konoha!" A nail that gradually encroaches and finally controls the Land of Rain! β
Hearing this, all the upper ninjas scolded loudly.
"Damn, Konoha dares to do this!"
"Especially that Jiraiya, it was Hanzo-sama who left them a way to live, and he dared to calculate us!"
As soon as Hanzo raised his hand, the room quickly fell silent.
"Anyway, send someone to contact Iwakuin first, and then keep an eye on Xiao's movements...... If they are really Konoha's shadows, they will definitely not settle down this time! β
