Chapter Forty-Eight: The Rain and the Dawn and the Roots

Shimura Danzo hasn't been in a particularly good mood lately.

Or to put it another way, since hearing that Konoha Village was attacked by the Four Great Ninja Villages, Shimura Danzo's mood has been in an extremely bad state.

Originally, he had a good secret visit to the land of rain, and met Hanzo, a mystic, and the two talked happily, although the covenant was dispensable, but the relationship was finally good.

Tuan Zang didn't expect to rely on a few words to make the old fox of Sanshoyu Hanzo loosen his mouth at first. Able to make a name for himself as a demigod in the gap between the three major ninja villages, and even maintain the rule of the ninja village in the Land of Rain, Sanshoyu Hanzo is definitely not a good opponent.

It's just that when they are having fun in oral gymnastics, the international situation can be said to be changing, and they have changed their appearance in the blink of an eye. Konoha was attacked by the four ninja villages in a joint attack on the library, and it was suspected that it was stolen by the still blood pretending to be bloody. And at the same time, it is said that in order to stop Konoha from pursuing, the unknown ninja village teamed up to launch a ninjutsu that changed the level of the celestial phenomena.

It is said that there was a scene of destruction in the sky above Konoha Village at that time, and although it was claimed to be a mirage afterwards, people in the know insisted that there were people above who guided the performance of ninjutsu, and it was definitely not a natural phenomenon.

Tuan Zang was stunned when he heard it in the Land of Rain, feeling whether he was out of the times or that he had suddenly run to some strange place.

I have never heard of this thing, and it is estimated that the four major ninja villages have joined forces to make a bloody investment.

Of course, Tuan Zang didn't care at first, after all, the four ninja villages teamed up to steal a library, and they took away all their own heritage and hidden spies, so doesn't that mean that Konoha can show his strength next without being restrained?

Then Tuan Zang was even more surprised to find that the hellish library was not the Konoha surface library in Tuan Zang's impression, but the recording area of the Konoha underground library where many ninjutsu forbidden techniques were stored. This means that the research theories and ideas of the blood suit and the static blood suit will also be made public.

It is not terrible to be simply stolen and used, after all, with research ideas and ideas, they can be adjusted and modified at any time. However, the research ideas and specific R&D process were stolen, and the group was really numb. It's not that he doesn't know how to develop ninjutsu, and of course, awareness is very important for the ninjutsu development process.

In other words, Konoha no longer has any technical superiority, not to mention, and it is very likely that the enemy will carry out a special attack on the Bloody Static Suit.

Until the situation is uncertain, both the Kinetic Suit and the Static Blood Suit can be considered ninjutsu with questionable reliability. It can only be sealed when necessary.

But how can this be sealed? Go out and wait to be beaten?

And the reaction of this kind of thing is chained, after hearing about this catastrophe, Sanshoyu Hanzo came to the door that night, and expressed deep sympathy for what happened to Konoha, as a friend with a strip of water, Hanzo felt that Rain Ninja Village could not sit idly by.

Anyway, you have been stolen too, so it is better to give us another one, the price is negotiable. If you don't give it to me, I'll go find the rock ninja and the sand ninja, you can give it anyway, you can do it yourself.

In the face of such shameless remarks, Shimura Danzo almost didn't come up in one breath at that time.

But what else can I do?

Now that the situation is stronger than people, Shimura Danzo can only make a bitter face, give full play to the function of oral gymnastics, and begin to move with emotion and reason to Sanshoyu Hanzo Xiaoyuki, hoping that Hanzo will not be obsessed and turn back as soon as possible.

The problem lies in the fact that such a thing as reasoning should be based on objective reality. Konoha is a mess now, there is gossip everywhere, and Sanshoyu Hanzo can also see it, anyway, your Konoha family has a big business, and Lao Tzu is a crack alive, I won't shop around?

You Konoha is indeed the best in the world, but the price of the sand ninja and the rock ninja may be a little better. And now that you, Konoha White Fang, are dead, you can't find the ninja who secretly made me. If you have the ability, you will turn into a white tooth and cut it off for me, otherwise you don't have to talk about it. I'll just wait for someone else to make an offer.

In the face of such brazen behavior, Shimura Danzo was really disgusted.

What's even more disturbing is that as he stays longer and longer in the Land of Rain, bad news comes one after another.

After a short period of civil strife and a short-term battle with Iwa Shinobi, Sand Shinobi quickly elected a new Kazekage, suppressed all minor contradictions, and announced that he and Iwa Shinobi would join forces to develop a secret technique called 'Immovable Body'.

Yun Ren separately announced that he had developed the blessing technology of 'Thunder Mania', which can make ninjutsu extremely powerful, which is a separate invention of Yun Ren, if it is violated, piracy is not pursued. The fog was mysterious, and he didn't announce anything, but he was inexplicably very close to Yun Ren.

All kinds of situations have been passed from neighboring countries one after another, and the attitude of Sanshoyu Hanzo has become more and more contemptuous.

What made Danzou even more angry was that he even saw with his own eyes the scene of the ninjas of Sand Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi starting to enter the Land of Rain. Tuan Zang knew very well that it was the Sanshoyu Hanzo who deliberately showed it to himself.

He wanted Tuan Zang to know that although he was trying to survive among the major powers, people were not kneeling to ask for food, he had the ability and capital to stand up. It was this kind of stimulation that made Tuanzang decide to give up the Hanzo route.

Although Hanzo is an old and serious ninja who looks very friendly, he is too old and heavy, but he has to start thinking about all aspects and constantly shop around. Konoha also has a temper, and if you give some face, you can talk about it, but now you basically don't even give face, so there is no need to communicate.

On a stormy night, Shimura left the Rain Ninja Village, as quietly as he had come.

Sanshoyu Hanzo didn't think there was any big problem, he and Shimura Danzou could be said to be same-sex repulsive, and it was clear that he couldn't stay in the face of this humiliation.

And in fact, Hanzo has also thought about it, compared to the icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow. The two ninja villages are full of contradictions, and Konoha has now pulled out a series of nails, and now that he is about to expand, it is better to help the two ninja villages first.

His ability is to release poison, and in this rain country full of rainstorms, he began to release poison gas against the rain clouds, and Konoha can basically announce that he is waiting there directly. As long as you delay for a while, you can get enough political capital, and then depending on the situation, you can vote for Konoha or Liangnin Village. Capable people always have a choice.

It's just that Hanzo didn't know that Shimura Danzou didn't choose to leave the Land of Rain, but turned into a seemingly inconspicuous village.

According to Gen's information, the children that Jiraiya took in during his leisure time on the battlefield of the Land of Rain are here.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you the disciples of Jiraiya? ”

"Are you ......?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking at the three skinny imps in front of him, Shimura Tuan hid in his heart and was a little unoptimistic.

These three children should be said to be the most annoying type of Tuanzang, two men and one girl, but about ten years old, looking naΓ―ve and ignorant.

Even in the face of a strange Konoha ninja like him, he didn't have much hostility, but looked at it with curiosity, and seemed to have a wonderful kindness towards this foreign ninja.

Children who have not experienced a full ninja education are prone to such misconceptions.

However, this is also the reason why the group hid here.

'The reincarnation eye known as the savior...... Hmph, rumors are just rumors after all. In the end, it will come down to Konoha in the end. Let these imps plant a nail in the Land of Rain. ’

Glancing at the red-haired boy cowering at the back, and observing the swirling eyes, Shimura Danzo pulled a cold smile on his face, but he did have a kind smile.

This is a kind of smile he has learned from Aizen Yusuke, although it looks distant and cold, but it has a cold kindness.

"I'm a ninja in Konoha, and I've heard that one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya's personal disciple, is here, so I specially picked you up and brought you back to Konoha."

"Huh? Huh? Self, self also teacher? ”

The orange-haired young man who took the lead among the three children looked at Tuan Zang with some surprise, and said in a hurry:

"But Mr. Jiraiya said that we are not personal disciples, but just teaching us, and it seems that there is nothing special to say......

"Because you are from the Land of Rain, if you want to go to Konoha, it will actually have a great impact on him. But he insisted that he could take the risk, so I came to pick you up. ”

Shimura Danzou looked at the three children in front of him and said the lines he had specially prepared, and sure enough, he might be embarrassed when he heard it, and the three children quickly shook their heads.

"No, no. We just have no problem. It's not good if you cause trouble to Jiraiya Sensei. ”

"I want you to come back, but I'm ready for everything. So do you want to return to Konoha or continue to survive in the Land of Rain? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We want to save this country in the Land of Rain. ”

"That's right...... That's going to be hard. I'm looking forward to a few of you. ”

Looking at the three children with stubborn faces, Shimura Danzou deliberately leaked out some difficult thoughts, and then looked at the children in front of him who seemed to be a little dim as if he had found a compromise.

"So let's find a compromise. Jiraiya-sama's side is indeed a little embarrassed, but he can't rest assured of you. Maybe it's only with me. How about we teach you how to survive as ninjas, and then you can call yourself a disciple of Jiraiya? ”

"...... we?"

"Ah, it's us."

In the midst of the torrential rain, Shimura Danzou smiled indifferently, and several black shadows slowly appeared behind him.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan. Are the three of you willing to become the root of the ninja world, burying it deep in the ground for the sake of the great tree of world peace, giving it nourishment, and sacrificing everything you have? ”
