Chapter 786: The reunion that has been waiting for many years, the parting that is coming
Just as the Xiao Organization had worked hard for so long, it was finally able to form an alliance with Sanshoyu Hanzo and be able to further help the suffering masses, and they held a celebration party with joy.
As a partner of the Xiao organization, Sanshoyu Hanzo, who had just returned to his residence, ushered in an uninvited visit at this juncture......
……
"How did it become like this......
Under that hoarse voice full of disbelief, Hanzo, who should have succeeded in reaching the covenant without blood, and felt happy and relieved, was now blushing and slowly clenched his fists.
The reason for this is simple......
Because, in the open space in front of the Sanshoyu Hanzo residence, the body bags containing the corpses of the Sanshoyu Hanzo's subordinates and clansmen were full and lined up.
As for the person who brought these corpses to Sanshoyu Hanzo, it was the villain who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Shimura Danzo!
"Unfortunately, by the time we found out, they were completely hopeless."
As an old fox who is good at scheming, the management of facial expressions is naturally the foundation of the foundation for Tuan Zang. So much so that under the baptism of rain, he put on a sad and unwilling appearance of crying and mourning for the deceased, while raising his head slightly and looking up at Sanshoyu Hanzo to express his humility and sincerity. After confirming with his own eyes that the corpses belonged to his clan and men, he motioned to the members of the Root Organization that he had brought with him to reseal the body bags so that the bodies would not continue to be eroded by the rain.
"Of course, although the reconciliation between our Konoha Village and Iwakuin Village has not yet been fully reached. But for the sake of Hanzo-sama's efforts and efforts, we will collect their bodies for them out of respect for Hanzo-sama and return them to Hanzo-sama. ”
Between the words, if these words were spoken from the mouth of others, Sanshoyu Hanzo might still wonder if this was something else planned by the person in front of him. Even when his subordinates were attacked, it was the handiwork of the person in front of him......
But Sanshoyu Hanzo knows that the man who seems to be humble and respectful in front of him is the second-in-command of Konoha Ninja Village! Even with the high power, there is no need to go to such great lengths to calculate the leader of his own small ninja village......
What's more, before these corpses were alive, they were all under the orders of Tuan Zang, and rushed to Iwain Village and Konoha Village respectively to lobby for peace negotiations. And before killing them would be tantamount to destroying the possible peace negotiations and continuing to burn the flames of war, it would be reasonable for Sanshoyu to be half-hidden, and he couldn't think of a reason why Tuanzang would attack them......
After all, in the eyes of Sanshoyu Hanzo, Konoha Village, which has also endured several years of war and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, should be the same as his own Yuyin Village, longing for peace and hoping that the war can end as soon as possible. So much so that as the second-in-command of Konoha Village, Danzang, who should put the interests of the village first, should also think so......
"It's okay, Lord Tuanzang, casualties are inevitable in the war...... Being able to send them back and let them return to their hometowns is already a good ending. ”
Thinking of this, the remaining wariness and hostility in Hanzo's eyes gradually dissipated, and at the same time, he took over Tuanzang's words and routinely politely said. After a slight pause in his words, he turned his words and asked with a murderous aura.
"It's just...... Danzang-sama, have you seen, who did this? ”
In the final analysis, the death of these subordinates will not only postpone the peace negotiations between Iwain Village and Konoha Village indefinitely. For Hanzo, who was the first to propose peace talks and has been running left and right for so long, it was an unceremonious slap in the face and provocation! And even if he is only the leader of a small ninja village on the surface, but with his personal strength, he has won the reputation of a demigod in the ninja world, and can even make the five ninja villages more or less in awe of himself, and the high-minded and arrogant Sanshoyu Hanzo is naturally unwilling to eat this dumb loss for nothing!
It's a pity that Hanzo, who was carried away by anger, couldn't think of it......
For the villain of Tuan Zang, he only cares about whether he can obtain higher power, but he doesn't care about his subordinates, or even the survival of the village. So much so that Sanshoyu Hanzo follows common sense, and the conjecture that comes to mind is diametrically opposed to the truth behind this incident!
"Yes, thanks to the heroic efforts of your people, I have the opportunity to see the murderer......"
In this case, choosing to trust Tuan Zang and taking the initiative to speak out and ask Tuan Zang who the murderer was, it was undoubtedly a solemn gesture for Tuan Zang and gave him an almost perfect opportunity to splash dirty water. So much so that after pretending to be sad and regretful, Tuan Zang, who was the initiator of this tragedy, did not change his face and confided in the candidate who had been prepared for planting.
"Judging by their costumes, and by the appearance of their leaders...... If nothing else, it should be Xiao Organization's doing. ”
"Akatsuki?"
When he received the answer that the murderer of his subordinates was the group of young men who had just made a verbal covenant with him, which was far beyond his expectations, even the angry Sanshoyu Hanzo couldn't help but freeze in place. Immediately, his brows furrowed, out of the good impression he left on Yahiko, and the results he obtained from secretly observing the development of the organization over the years, made Sanshoyu Hanzo speak out in confusion and refute the answer given by Danzang.
"But you know that organizing them is ......"
"A new organization that takes advocating peace as its own responsibility, operates in Yuyin Village, and develops its forces." 61
However, Danzang, who had already investigated this, obviously would not allow the Akatsuki organization led by Yahiko to get rid of suspicion so lightly. So much so that before Sanshoyu Hanzo's words fell, Tuan Zang took over Sanshoyu Hanzo's words, and continued word by word in that slightly sarcastic tone.
"I'm right, Hanzo-sama?"
“…… That's right, I've heard that it's an organization that shares my own affiliation, and just today, they have just entered into an alliance with me. ”
Tuan Zang hastily interrupted his speech, although it made Sanshoyu Hanzo feel a little displeased. But because of the identity of Tuan Zang, it is enough to represent the entire Konoha Ninja Village, and now, he really wants to know whether the real murderer of his own clan is the Xiao organization, so he has to hold back his anger. Even after a short moment of silence, Sanshoyu Hanzo, who still believed in his own vision and decided that Yahiko and the Akatsuki organization he founded could not do such a thing, defended his new ally.
"How could they ...... in this situation"
"Lord Hanzo, with all due respect...... It's just too easy for you to trust them. ”
"What did you say?"
"It is indeed a good thing to implement the ideals wholeheartedly...... But on the other hand, Hanzo-sama, the ideals you value will also become your weaknesses. ”
“…… My weakness? ”
"Because you are ambitious, you are too comfortable and indulgent to young people who also have big ambitions...... You should know very well that in this era of strife and war in which we live, such indulgence can easily become a hidden danger and endanger yourself! It was precisely because of your credulity in the Akatsuki Organization that they were given the opportunity to grow their power, which led to this tragedy, didn't it? ”
I had already guessed that Hanzo, who favored the Akatsuki organization—or, to be more precise, Yahiko—could not have turned against Yahiko because of his simple framing of the group, and in the face of Hanzo's questioning, he still maintained a lukewarm and calm appearance. Then he didn't shy away from meeting Hanzo's gaze, and while he watched his expression change, he continued unhurriedly with the second half of the speech that had been prepared with regret.
"No matter how noble and great your ambitions and ideals are. But the facts of these years have also proved that the same practice cannot be applied to everyone. Therefore, even if at the beginning, they pretended to be the same as you, just chasing lofty ideals, but in the end, they are just a group of rabble who have no foundation at all, let alone a real sense, who have experienced the baptism of war! ”
"In this case, once this kind of person is allowed to grow further and gain more power without incident, sooner or later, under the influence of power, their high-sounding disguise will be completely torn apart and destroyed, revealing that they are just a group of rats who simply want to subvert Yuyin Village and seek benefits for themselves from the very beginning."
"And when that happens, Hanzo-sama, I beg your pardon...... The power in your hands will be taken away by them little by little under the erosion of this rabble. Even the Yuyin Village, which you value, will be under their control, and will completely embark on a dead end for itself! ”
Between the words, in addition to regret and helplessness, in order to make his words more convincing, Tuan Zang did not forget to rely on his position as the second-in-command of Konoha Village, so that his tone accompanied by a slightly angry face gradually became aggressive. And unconsciously, as if the peace talks between Iwakuin Village and Konoha Village had collapsed, all of them were caused by Hanzo's misjudgment, and he unceremoniously accused Sanshoyu Hanzo of "inaction" to his face!
“…… You're here for more than that, Danzo-sama. ”
On the one hand, there is the recent rise, but there is no foundation to speak of, and even the level of understanding is limited to the superficial Xiao organization. On the one hand, as one of the five ninja villages, it is an old force that has remained in the ninja world for a long time...... According to common sense, it is obviously clear which side's words are more credible. So much so that after thinking for a moment in silence under the cannon-like words of Tuan Zang. Sanshoyu Hanzo turned sideways a little and gave Danzou the way into the house. With a cold look in his eyes, he responded word by word.
"I was rude before, if you don't dislike it, please go to the humble house and sit down...... By the way, how do you want us to work together next? ”
It is worth mentioning that although in the face of the flickering of the old fox Danzang, Yahiko and himself, who had just been immersed in Yahiko and himself, hoped that peace would be restored to the ninja world, and he felt the satisfaction and satisfaction of his successors, so he successfully became hostile to the Xiao organization......
But what Tunzo should be thankful for is that the Sanshoyu Hanzo in front of him, under the baptism of war for many years, although he still retains the prestige of the "ninja demigod", it has also been smoothed out by time. Even the reason why he will be moved by Danzang is not to completely believe that the murderer of his subordinates is Yahiko and the Akatsuki organization led by him. On the contrary, after experiencing the superiority of controlling power, it is impossible for today's Sanshoyu Hanzo to be willing to share the power in his hands with others! And then in the face of the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, let Sanjiao Yu Hanzo make up his mind to completely strangle and erase this embryonic competitor before the Xiao organization further grows and grows!
In other words, if Sanshoyu Hanzo is younger, he can retain the pride and dignity that belongs to the "ninja demigod......
Then, Tuan Zang sounds impeccable at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, it is all one-sided, and there is no decisive evidence at all. Even the trio with the frog squad, and even the fate of the entire ninja world, will also change 180 degrees......
“”
It's a pity that he was single-minded, and he only thought about killing the frog team trio under the pretense of Sanshoyu Hanzo's hand, so as to take the reincarnation eye owned by Nagato as his own, but he didn't think about what a terrible disaster he would bring to the world by sowing discord. So much so that after seeing the Sansho fish Hanzo loosen his mouth, it was obvious that he was successfully persuaded by himself, and the group with a smile in his eyes was even stronger.
