Chapter 82: Dangerous Chess
The general idea has been decided, and the next step is the specific implementation method.
The internal contradictions between the Great Ninja Villages, even Hanzo, an outsider, can see it very clearly.
There is no need to sow discord, as long as the "common threat" of Yuyin becomes weak and becomes less conspicuous, the war between Konoha, Sand Hide, and Iwain will naturally break out.
What Hanzo needs to do is to detonate the process in advance.
Now that the war between Shayin and Konoha is not painful or itchy, it is obviously still in the tentative stage, and Hanzo is ready to add another fire to make these big ninja villages completely tear their faces.
Originally, there was no such opportunity, but the existence of the Absolute Shadow, and the actions of the Absolute Shadow, gave Hanzo this opportunity.
Hanzo naturally didn't know that Jueying only represented Danzo's will, and in his opinion, Jueying's reckless move completely showed Konoha's attitude of breaking the balance.
The moment the Shadow began to kill on a killing spree, he represented more than just himself.
"Kanzang, the Iwakuin spy in the village who has already mastered his identity is still under surveillance, right?" Hanzo had already made up his mind and gently placed the bowl on the table.
All melancholy, all hatred, and all remembrance must be put aside for the time being.
Hanzo knew that now was not the time for him to rest.
Kanzang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's all under our surveillance, and those people don't notice anything. β
"Okay." Hanzo's eyes flickered, "I'll tell you the details of the Shadow in a moment, and you'll have to spread the information about the Shadow to them without leaving a trace."
"Then, it was revealed that our Yunin had suffered heavy losses recently, and all of this was caused by the Shadow Breaker."
In order to dispel Onoki's suspicions, Hanzo did not intend to contact Iwaninja directly, but first misled through the spies planted in Rain Hidden Village by Iwakuin Village.
"Is it a sign of weakness?" There was a hint of hesitation on Kanzang's face, but he still resolutely accepted the order. "Yes, Hanzo-sama, I see."
Hanzo pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "In addition, in the next three days, our defense line will be completely reduced, retreat a hundred kilometers first, and some strongholds on the periphery can be optionally abandoned. The focus is on the front on Konoha's side, give it all up! β
"This ......" Kanzo couldn't sit still this time, "Hanzo-sama, is it necessary to do this level?" Those strongholds were all built with great difficulty, and every time we give up one of them, we are cutting meat on our rain country! β
"If those big ninja villages take the opportunity to counterattack, we don't know how many people will die!"
"I know that!" Hanzo glared at Kanzo fiercely, gasping and said:
"But if we don't do this, Sha Yin and Iwain will not believe that we have been hit hard, and then the war will continue, the intensity will increase, and the range may even expand again, and there will only be more of us who will die in the rain!"
Kanzang's body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord Hanzo, aren't you afraid that these Great Ninja Villages will join together to wipe us out?" β
Hanzo sighed, stared blankly at the moon outside the window, and muttered, "If it had been before, I would naturally not have done such a self-defeating thing. β
"But it's different now, Konoha's strength has broken the balance, Sand Hide, Rock Hide, and even Fog Hide, Cloud Hide, they won't let us Rain Hide collapse."
"Konoha can send out a stunner silently, who knows if there will be a second or third? I'm not the only one I'm worried about, I'm sure any of the shadows in the Great Ninja Village are worried. β
Kanzo understood Hanzo's meaning, that is, with the "Konoha threat theory" as the guiding ideology, and the sudden appearance of the Shadow without any information circulating, as the actual basis, it proved that Konoha still retains a powerful and unknown strength, and it must have a lot of plans.
You must know that the strength of any ninja who has reached the shadow level cannot be cultivated overnight, it takes a process, and this process cannot be leaked without any information in any case.
It's a time of war, and the dispatch of any shadow-level powerhouse is not a trivial matter, whether it is on a mission or fighting other ninjas, there will be witnesses, and there will never be a trace.
But Jueying is really like a ghost without a shadow, and no one even knew about his existence before the Shenying Hill incident. The ability of the Absolute Shadow is also different from all the existing powerhouses in Konoha.
What this means, Hanzo feels that all the ninja village leaders except Konoha understand.
After the appearance of the Absolute Shadow, the "Konoha Threat Theory" is no longer a trick of the sand hide, but a real problem.
Giving up part of the territory, cooperating with the enemy to weaken his own strength, quickly diverting the attention of the Great Ninja Village, and making Konoha replace Yugakure as the new "target of everyone" has become Hanzo's latest plan.
There may be a little pain in the process, but in the long run, it will undoubtedly minimize the loss of Yushinobi.
Hanzo is precisely because he understands the contradictions between the Great Ninja Village very well, so he dares to take this risky step.
In Hanzo's view, the war between the ninja villages will not stop, the entanglement of interests, the chain of hatred, and the poison of suspicion...... It's all like a torrent that pushes all the ninjas forward towards that chaotic future.
It's just that Hanzo wants to extract Yuyin Village from the "main contradiction" of the war and become a "secondary contradiction".
Although it is very risky to do this, it is not without opportunities, as can be seen from the fact that Sha Yin decisively declared war on Konoha and then increased Iwakure's actions against Konoha intensified.
The higher-ups of each village are not stupid, and all the shadows can see the problems that Hanzo can see.
In this case, there is no need to hold on to it, take a step back when it is time to take a step, this is Hanzo's true thoughts.
Therefore, as soon as possible, the shadows' jealousy of Yuyin was dispelled, and they were "at ease" with Yuyin, and then hurried to fight to the death with Konoha became Hanzo's primary goal.
"Sand Hide is already our ally, what matters is Iwakure's attitude." Hanzo explained his train of thought to Kanzo and said slowly, "It is necessary to properly show our "sincerity" to Iwakure. β
"Necessary...... Is it? Kanzang lowered his head and repeated silently.
After a while, Kanzo raised his head and asked softly, "Hanzo-sama, why don't we just negotiate with Tsuchikage?" β
Or ...... Dispatch the sea serpents to reduce our disadvantage. β
"Don't be naΓ―ve! Prospecting! Hanzo scolded:
"If we don't dispel Iwa Shinobi's fears, they won't talk to us! Direct negotiations will only backfire, and Iwa Shinobi will definitely think that we have other motives! β
"And ......" Hanzo narrowed his eyes and looked at Kanzo coldly:
"You're not allowed to mention the sea serpent here, do you want our last hole cards to be revealed?"
When the words fell, Hanzo directly commanded in a commanding tone:
"Starting tomorrow, evacuate all the rain ninja distributed in the territory of the rain country, and pull the battle line back a hundred kilometers, do you understand?"
Most of the rain ninjas lurk in the occupied areas of the major ninja villages, and if they are rashly let retreat, there will definitely be people left behind by the enemy. And those strongholds, the hidden supplies, are basically given to the enemy in vain.
Kanzo is not an unreasonable person, but this knife really hurts to cut on himself.
To let Iwa Shinobi see the so-called "sincerity" and show the "threat" of Konoha is the purpose of the next period of action.
"I remember, Hanzo-sama." Now that the order has been clarified, there is nothing to hesitate about Kanzo, after all, Lord Hanzo has led the rain ninjas all the way to the present, if there is really no way, I don't think I will do this unrighteous policy.
It's just that......
Is it unrighteous? Who can tell?
Sacrificing a small part of the rain ninja and allowing more rain ninja to survive is the righteousness in the heart of Hanzo, the leader of the rain hidden village.
Even if you don't understand it, even if you will be scolded by others......
But it is the responsibility of the ruler to bear all the iniquities.
Hanzo stood up and paced slowly around the room, calming his gloomy heart.
Being in the center of the whirlpool of the times is really not what Hanzo wants, and coming up with this method is not only to get Yushinobi out of the quagmire of war as soon as possible, but more importantly, to plan for the future.
If all goes well, the village will soon be out of sight of both sides of the war. No matter who wins the Sand Hidden Rock Hidden Coalition Army and Konoha next, both sides will definitely lose and their forces will be greatly reduced, and they will no longer be able to interfere in the situation in the Land of Rain.
The Great Ninja Village always wanted to weaken Yugakure, and Hanzo didn't mind stabbing himself first to lower their vigilance, and then sit back and watch them weaken each other.
At that time, without external interference, Yuyin Village can usher in a real development opportunity.
Of course...... Maybe it's an opportunity, or maybe it's destruction.
But the opportunity has really appeared, and Hanzo is really unwilling to give up.
"This is the sorrow of a small country......" Hanzo looked up at Mingyue and sighed silently again.
