Chapter 604: Konoha destroys the Ninja Sect?
Danzo Shimura's reaction was beyond Hanzo's expectations.
He originally thought that the attitude he showed to the root ninja was enough to make Danzo Shimura retreat.
But Danzo Shimura did not give up, and instead came to the Land of Rain in person.
"Hanzo-sama, Danzo Shimura wants to see you." The rain ninja ANBU reported.
Hanzo frowned. Danzo Shimura's mobility was a bit abnormal.
He just left the root ninja to dry for a few days, but Danzo Shimura came to the Land of Rain in person. In terms of Danzo Shimura's identity, this shouldn't be the case.
"Bring him here." Hanzo said.
Shimura Danzo is the Hokage assistant who can represent Konoha after all.
Even if he now feels uncomfortable hearing the name Shimura Danzo, he cannot treat Shimura Danzo like an ordinary Konoha jounin.
The rain ninja ANBU nodded, quickly walked out of the office, and soon brought Danzo Shimura into Hanzo's office.
After bringing the person there, the rain ninja ANBU silently exited the office and closed the door.
Hanzo looked at Shimura Danzo expressionlessly.
Shimura Danzo's face was a little gloomy, and the slender eye not covered by the bandage stared at Hanzo.
Hanzo was unhappy, and Danzo Shimura was equally unhappy.
Surrounding and killing Sosuke in order to obtain the Rinnegan Eye was his action without telling Hiruzen Sarutobi. The longer he stayed outside, the more likely he was to be discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Shimura Danzo originally wanted to come to the Land of Rain when his plan was just short of encirclement and killing, but Hanzo's attitude forced him to come ahead of time.
"I wonder why Danzo's assistant came to the Rain Ninja Village?" Hanzo asked quietly.
After all, Shimura Danzo is the Hokage's assistant, so Hanzo can't really fight him.
Unless Hanzo is ready for war with Konoha.
"Of course I'm here to help you, Hanzo." Danzo Shimura's face softened a lot and he replied.
Shimura Danzo felt that he was indeed helping Hanzo. If he were Hanzo, the Ninja Sect would never have survived to be established and would have been wiped out when he traveled to the Land of Rain.
Regardless of traveling and giving lectures, Shimura Danzo only saw that Soyousuke had more and more followers and his reputation was growing.
"Oh?" Hanzo looked at Danzo Shimura with confusion.
Come to help him, come to help him die early?
"Ame Ninja Village is in danger." Danzo Shimura sighed.
"Why do you say that?" Hanzo asked.
He wanted to see what trick Danzo Shimura wanted to play.
"Soyousuke is ambitious and uses various means to enhance the reputation of the Ninja Sect. Nowadays, when many ninjas mention the Kingdom of Rain, they no longer think of you, the demigod, or the Rain Ninja Village, but the ninja master Soyousuke. With the Ninja Sect." Shimura Danzo continued.
"If this continues, the Ninja Sect will gradually encroach on the living space of Yu Ninja Village, and eventually replace Yu Ninja Village, making Yu Ninja Village become a dust in history."
Shimura Danzo is not talking nonsense, ninjas are not engaged in production, so where do their money come from?
There are two parts, one is the military expenditure provided by the daimyo, and the other is the commission issued by the client.
If the Ninja Sect sucks away the entrustment of Yu Ninja Village, then the decline of Yu Ninja Village is inevitable.
"Thank you Danzo for your warning. I am ready to compete with the Ninja Sect. I believe that our ninjas in the Rain Ninja Village will not lose to the Ninja Sect's ninjas." Hanzo said as if I was already prepared.
Can the Rain Ninja Village really compete with the Ninja Sect? Hanzo wasn't very confident.
Soyousuke was younger than him, and there was Nagato, the number one genius in the ninja world, under Soyousuke.
Nagato alone can guarantee that the Ninja Sect will not be too bad in the next forty years.
Danzo Shimura's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, this Hanzo was not very good.
However, Danzo Shimura was also mentally prepared. If it were that simple, he wouldn't have to come in person.
"Hanzo, you are an upright person, but Soyousuke may not compete fairly with you. As far as I know, the Ninja Sect has close ties with Iwagakure." Shimura Danzo was ready to give Hanzo a last chance.
If Hanzo still doesn't agree, then he will make the matter clear directly.
"Really? As far as I know, Soyousuke is not a bad person." Hanzo retorted.
Soyousuke is not only good, but he can also be admired by a large number of rain ninjas even when they are at odds with the ninja clan.
After hearing these words, Danzo Shimura knew that what he was most worried about had happened.
The Ninja clan's strategy of repairing their relationship has worked, and now the rain ninja and the Ninja clan are not as antagonistic as they were before.
This further convinced Danzo Shimura of the correctness and necessity of his plan.
If the Rain Ninja and the Ninja Sect unite, they might really be able to create a force that can threaten the Great Ninja Village.
"That's just the appearance you see." Danzo Shimura retorted Hanzo's rebuttal.
"The crisis in the Rain Ninja Village is not only the competition with the Ninja Sect, but also the Country of Rain itself."
"Hanzo, you don't want the Land of Rain to repeat the scene of the last ninja war." Shimura Danzo said sadly.
call!
Wow! !
Hanzo's chakra exploded, and the powerful and terrifying aura quickly climbed to the extreme that Hanzo could reach. It set off a gust of air and blew away the papers on Hanzo's desk.
"Shimura Danzo, what do you mean?" Hanzo's eyes became extremely sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate Shimura Danzo's body.
The Second Ninja World War was Hanzo's biggest pain in his life. He wanted to seek more benefits for the Kingdom of Rain, and wanted to lead the Kingdom of Rain to break the order of the five major countries.
But he overestimated the strength of the Rain Ninja Village and underestimated the strength of the Great Ninja Villages.
In the end, the country of Rain was devastated and the entire country was plunged into war. Instead of developing, it became even more backward.
Before the defeat in the Second Ninja War, the entire Rain Ninja Village was a fan of Hanzo, and most of them were fanatical fans.
After the defeat, many rebel ninjas appeared in the Rain Ninja Village. The impact of the Second Ninja World War on the Land of Rain and the Rain Ninja Village can be seen.
Danzo Shimura's words really touched Hanzo's bottom line.
"Haha." Danzo Shimura sneered in his heart, not paying attention to Hanzo's terrifying aura that seemed to kill someone.
His current power and status were obtained by his own fighting. Who is not a ninja who walked out of the battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how could this scare him.
"What the Ninja sect has done has touched Konoha's bottom line and is a threat that Konoha must clean up. During the cleaning process, it will inevitably cause some inevitable damage." Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice, as if the Ninja sect had done something. Something unforgivable.
The ninja sect had touched the bottom line of his Hokage assistant, and the rounding had also touched the bottom line of Konoha. Hanzo frowned. Danzo Shimura's words were too harsh. His tone sounded as if Konoha would send out ninja troops to eliminate the Ninja Sect in a few days.
This was a bit beyond Hanzo's expectation. What did the Ninja do to make Konoha want to destroy the Ninja so much?
Because of Shimura Danzo's words and identity, Hanzo subconsciously regarded Shimura Danzo's attitude as Konoha's.
After all, Danzo Shimura, a high-ranking Konoha executive, couldn't possibly act in the name of Konoha for some private matters.
"What did Ninja do?" Hanzo couldn't help but ask.
He was really curious about what the ninja did to Konoha.
With Soyousuke's personality and wisdom, would he offend Konoha without any reason?
"This involves our Konoha secrets. I can only tell you that it is related to Iwagakure." Shimura Danzo replied like a Riddler.
There's nothing he can do if he doesn't know the Riddler. It can't be said that it's because of Soyousuke's Ninja inheritance and Nagato's Rinnegan.
And if you bring up another Iwagakure village, it will become a confrontation between two great ninja villages, and it will be difficult for Hanzo to prove it.
"Iwagakure..." Hanzo showed a thoughtful expression.
Hanzo felt that Iwagakure was plotting something when Iwagakure stood up as an intermediary for the peace talks between the Ninja sect and the Rain Ninja Village. Later, Iwagakure was still away from the ninja sect for so long, so it was normal for the two sides to have something.
"Is it related to the war in the Kingdom of Grass?" Hanzo thought of the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure in the Kingdom of Grass some time ago.
Both sides won one game each, but in the end Konoha was the better one and drove Iwagakure out of the Rain Country.
If they are participating in a war between great powers, then Konoha's attitude makes sense. After all, this is one of the most taboo things in the five major ninja villages.
"Since it's a conflict between the Ninja Sect and Konoha, what does it have to do with my Rain Ninja Village?" Hanzo thought for a while and asked.
Shimura Danzo said so much, but nothing about his Rain Ninja Village matters.
After all, the Ninja Sect and the Rain Ninja Village have a cooperative relationship. Even if the Ninja Sect is really involved in the great power game, the Rain Ninja Village will not help at most, rather than helping Konoha to step on the Ninja Sect.
Danzo Shimura sighed as if he was a peaceful person: "I know Hanzo that you are a peace-loving ninja, and the Land of Rain is also a peace-loving country. It is not me to let such a country fall into war. What I want to see.”
“So I argued hard and got a plan that was more beneficial to both parties, and only punished the culprit.
Except for Soyousuke and Nagato, all others can be regarded as ninjas who were bewitched by Soyousuke, and Konoha will let them go. "
"The condition is that the Rain Ninja Village must help and help Konoha kill Soyousuke."
In fact, Shimura Danzo originally wanted the root ninja to disguise himself as a ninja ninja and attack the rain ninja, and then disguise himself as an rain ninja to attack the ninja ninja, arouse conflicts between the two sides, and then lure Hanzo to start a siege on Soyousuke.
This can be said to be Shimura Danzo's usual method of provoking conflicts.
But when he thought about it carefully, Shimura Danzo realized that this plan was not applicable to the current Ninja Sect and Rain Ninja Village.
The Rain Ninja Village and the Ninja Sect are ninja forces in the same country and have signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation. If the person who died was not an important person, both parties would definitely remain calm and settle the accounts first.
But it is not possible to kill important people, because there are too few capable ninjas in the Ninja Sect, and the Kingdom of Rain is too small, so it is difficult to disguise and frame them.
In addition, Shimura Danzo came to the door as soon as something happened between the Ninja Sect and the Rain Ninja Village. Hanzo would become suspicious as long as he was not stupid.
If Shimura Danzo had enough time, this plan could be accomplished. Give Shimura Danzo a year or two, and he would definitely be able to arrange it perfectly.
But "Uchiha Madara" gave him too little time to act.
That's why Shimura Danzo used the plan of overwhelming others by using Konoha's intimidation power to threaten Hanzo with war. He didn't want the Land of Rain to turn into a battlefield, so he killed Sosuke with him.
As long as this plan is not discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is also a pretty perfect plan.
"Kill Soyousuke, the Kingdom of Rain can avoid war..." Hanzo understood what Shimura Danzo meant.
However, Hanzo was not naive enough to think that this was a benefit Shimura Danzo helped them fight for. He just felt that Konoha did not want to consume too much power.
Soyousuke represents the present of the Ninja Sect, while Nagato represents the future of the Ninja Sect. If the two of them die, there will be no big difference between the Ninja Sect and its direct destruction.
It's not that Hanzo looks down on Kakuzu, Kakuzu is really incomparable to Soyousuke, whether in terms of strength or other aspects.
"Hanzo, you won't forget the shame that Soyousuke gave you. After Soyousuke dies, everyone will only remember the living demigod Hanzo and not the dead ninja master Soyousuke." Danzo Shimura reminded lightly. road.
Now Hanzo still has the reputation of being a demigod. When talking about Hanzo, he always thinks of Soyousuke and Fire Dragon Ranbu, who is known as the strongest fire escaper.
Hanzo said nothing.
Did Soyousuke bring him shame? There should be, thanks to Sosuke Usuke, all the ninjas in the ninja world know that Hanzo was defeated by the reverse attribute.
Will Hanzo agree to Danzo Shimura to surround and kill Soyousuke because of this? Yes, but not much.
It's impossible for him not to feel resentful towards Soyousuke when he, the dignified demigod, is reduced to this state.
But there was still some anger left in Hanzo's heart that prevented him from blaming everything on Soyousuke.
Did he lose to Sosuke because Sosuke used a dirty trick? No, it was because he was not as strong as Soyousuke.
Even the reason for fighting Soyousuke was due to a misunderstanding caused by his poor judgment.
This makes Hanzo so embarrassed to blame everything on Soyousuke, and so embarrassed to have desperate murderous intentions towards Soyousuke.
"Without Soyousuke, not only would Konoha not take action against the Land of Rain, but the Land of Rain would also be able to avoid civil war. This would be a rare opportunity for peace." Shimura Danzo continued to intimidate and induce.
Danzo Shimura didn't even know what Hanzo was hesitating about. Thinking from his perspective, he would definitely agree.
It is true that he is plotting the reincarnation eye and the inheritance of the Ninja Sect, but this matter is indeed beneficial to the Rain Ninja Village.
"This is a serious matter. I need to think about it for some more time and discuss it with other senior officials." Hanzo finally answered. He neither agreed nor refused.
Hanzo's request was very reasonable, and Shimura Danzo did not refute it. However, in order to prevent Hanzo from being indecisive and unable to make a decision, Shimura Danzo said meaningfully: "Although my plan was passed, there are still objections from senior officials. If it takes a long time, No, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
A threat, a thinly veiled threat.
Hanzo looked deeply at Danzo Shimura and said nothing.
The failure of the Second Ninja War made him know how powerful the five major ninja villages were.
Shimura Danzo is very arrogant, but he does have the capital to be arrogant. Among the five powerful ninja villages, Konoha is also the strongest among them.
After Danzo Shimura left, Hanzo pretended to hold a high-level meeting of the rain ninja.
However, he did not talk about Sosuke's matter at the meeting, but made other decisions.
When it comes to making the most important decisions, Hanzo always makes them alone.
At night, Hanzo disguised himself and left the Rain Hidden Village.
