The clouds were overcast and the rain was pouring.
Jiraiya was wearing a raincoat, standing in the pouring rain, looking at a group of ninjas who were still fighting in the rain, and sighed in his heart.
This is the war of the ninja world.
If one party refuses to stop, the other party will not back down.
There was no order from above to stop fighting. This group of ninjas could never stop until they died, not to mention it was just raining heavily.
Even if there are meteorites falling from the sky, these ninjas must continue to fight.
Jiraiya sighed, stretched out his hand and began to form hand seals, planning to take advantage of the heavy rain to obscure his vision and catch the two ninjas with scratches on their foreheads to see if he could get news about the Akatsuki organization from them.
.
Blah blah blah...
There was the sound of heavy boots hitting the rain.
Is this the arrival of reinforcements from one of the parties?
Jiraiya immediately hid and looked at a group of Amegakure ninjas wearing gas masks appearing in the distance, and also saw a man surrounded by these Amegakure ninjas!
"Hanzo-sama is here!"
This sound immediately caused a sensation among the Amegakure ninjas!
"Sansho fish...Hanzo!"
Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed!
Even if the heavy rain made it impossible to see the whole face clearly, Jiraiya could instantly see the man's figure and recall how terrifying that man was!
as expected.
Sanshouyu Hanzo appeared on the battlefield and immediately turned the situation around!
As the morale of the ninjas in Hidden Rain Village increased, the group of ninjas gathered by the Akatsuki organization instantly became vulnerable and began to flee!
Sansho Hanzo didn't even need to make any move, he could scare everyone just by standing there. The Amegakure ninjas defeated the enemies, captured many prisoners, and planned to execute them on the spot.
"Don't kill them."
Sanshouyu Hanzo stopped his men from killing the prisoners. He took the initiative to walk in front of the prisoners and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to become traitorous ninjas?"
"Pooh!"
This prisoner has a lot of backbone!
After all, under the rule of ninja demigods, rebellion requires courage. Not a strong-willed ninja cannot face all kinds of difficulties!
"You bastard!"
An Amegakure ninja drew his ninja sword and wanted to kill the prisoner directly to defend the majesty of Sanshouyu Hanzo!
"Stop it."
Sanshouyu Hanzo stopped his men, stopped questioning other prisoners, and ordered in a deep voice: "Take these people back and imprison them. After I eliminate the Akatsuki organization, they will still be ninjas of the Land of Rain."
"Hanzo-sama..."
"Obey my orders!"
Sanshouyu Hanzo scolded his subordinates and raised his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky: "I want to end this war as soon as possible and will not let the Kingdom of Rain continue to be in chaos."
"Yes, Master Hanzo!"
A group of Amegakure ninjas were immediately overjoyed.
Since a few years ago, the leader Sanshouyu Hanzo suddenly lived in hiding, the jounin in the village oppressed his subordinates, and internal disputes broke out, causing the entire Amegakure Village and the Land of Rain to be in chaos.
This group of Amegakure ninjas believe that as long as Sanshouyu Hanzo is willing to come out to calm the situation, the civil war will soon be settled and peace will be restored to the Land of Rain.
A group of Amegakure ninjas left the battlefield with their prisoners.
Sanshouyu Hanzo waved his guard away from here, and stayed there alone, looking at Jiraiya's hiding place.
"That rascal…"
Jiraiya felt inexplicably that he had been discovered.
"Junior of Konoha..."
Sanshouyu Hanzo seemed to have noticed that Jiraiya was hiding here.
Whether it's based on Sansho Hanzo's age or what happened in their past, this ninja demigod can completely treat Jiraiya as a junior.
"No need to hide from me."
Sanshouyu Hanzo looked at where Jiraiya was hiding, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes: "Just as I had expected, you and the two juniors have indeed become famous ninjas in the ninja world...
"
"Long time no see, Sir Hanzo."
Jiraiya walked out and stood in front of Sansho Hanzo.
Because it was exposed at this time, there was no point in continuing to hide, and Sanshouyu Hanzo didn't look like he wanted to send his men to encircle and suppress him.
"Jiraiya."
Sanshouyu Hanzo looked at the middle-aged white-haired man in front of him, seemed to think for a while, and asked: "I should have remembered your name correctly, right?"
"good."
Jiraiya is no longer the young junior he used to be, but he still maintains respect for Hanzo the Sanshouyu: "I never thought that Hanzo-dono would still remember me..."
"I will never forget those outstanding young people in the ninja world."
Sansho Hanzo shook his head and became serious: "Konoha sent you to the Land of Rain to hunt down Orochimaru, the junior, or to clean up the troubles of the past?"
"Oh? Do I have to be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath?"
Jiraiya's eyes moved slightly, and he followed Sansho Hanzo's words and said one more sentence, hoping to find out some news from the mouth of this ninja demigod.
Jiraiya does understand the words of chasing Orochimaru. It seems that Sanshou Hanzo also knows the situation of the Akatsuki organization, and even knows that Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki organization...
What about cleaning up the aftermath?
What has Konoha done in the Land of Rain that needs to be cleaned up?
"certainly."
Sansho Hanzo nodded and talked about the past: "The original killing of the young man named Yahiko and the subsequent complete annihilation of the Akatsuki organization were all done by your Konoha Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo who asked me to help him.
made…"
"..."
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with surprise!
Yahiko is really dead!
There's no way that Sansho Hanzo can lie to people, right?
What Jiraiya didn't expect was that there was something about Shimura Danzo involved. Why did that guy always appear in places he shouldn't have!
Jiraiya quickly suppressed the shock in his heart, fearing that Sansho Hanzo would notice some flaw, so he took the opportunity to gather information: "I remember that there seems to be someone named Nagato and another named Konan in the Akatsuki organization..."
"You're talking about the reincarnation-eyed kid, right?"
Sanshouyu Hanzo seemed to think that Jiraiya was sent by Konoha to help, and he sighed and said: "The Rinnegan-eyed brat named Nagato is definitely still alive, but his legs should be broken..."
"Originally, I wanted to recruit them to join the Hidden Rain Village. It was your Hokage assistant in Konoha who forced me to ambush them and hand over the Rinnegan-eyed kid to Konoha. That led to what happened today and the Akatsuki organization and I have been
in hostility…”
When Sansho Hanzo said this, there was a touch of anger in his voice, and he asked: "Now that the situation in the Kingdom of Rain has become so corrupt, and the Akatsuki Organization and the Hidden Rain Village have fallen into civil war, Konoha is willing to send people over. It is a bit excessive.
Have you neglected our covenant?"
"do not forget."
Sansho Hanzo directly put all the blame on Shimura Danzo, and said in a cold voice: "You Konoha ninjas are also the murderers present, and are even the masterminds of the attack on the Akatsuki organization! I am already very old.
The Amegakure Village is not sure of annihilating the Akatsuki organization. The Akatsuki organization is getting stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, the Amegakure Village will be annihilated and they will use the power of the Rinnegan Eye to take revenge on Konoha!"
"..."
Jiraiya lowered his head.
This tall, white-haired man looked very ugly at this moment.
Although Sansho Hanzo only spoke a few words to him, Jiraiya had probably guessed most of the truth about the matter.
Stories from the past…
Probably because the Aegakure Village and the Akatsuki organization were getting along quite happily, but Danzo Shimura stepped in and wanted to take away Nagato's Rinnegan. He directly coerced and lured Sansho Hanzo to attack the Akatsuki organization together and killed Yahiko.
Later, Nagato and Konan escaped.
Danzo Shimura!
Why does that guy Danzo Shimura always cause trouble?
His current disciple, Akihara Kagura, was deeply influenced by Shimura Danzo, and it was very hard to correct his thoughts and views. As a result, he now received new information, and his former disciple Yahiko was murdered by Shimura Danzo.
However…
But he himself knew nothing about this matter.
Now, Nagato may have begun to hate Konoha ninjas again.
Jiraiya had worked hard to raise three children and taught Nagato to forget the hatred of the two Konoha ninjas for killing his parents. Shimura Danzo only took action once and brought things back to the original point.
No wonder…
No wonder Xiaonan didn't want to pay attention to herself.
Jiraiya thought of Konan who was hiding from him in the town and didn't want to talk to him, and suddenly everything became reasonable.
"Lord Hanzo."
Jiraiya looked at Sansho Hanzo, and his expression became serious. He had to get all the information from Sansho Hanzo first: "If I am still responsible for helping to clean up the trouble, I must at least clear the Akatsuki organization first.
Tell me the information."
"That's a given."
Sanshouyu Hanzo nodded and actively invited: "Then follow me to Yuyin Village. I will tell you all the information about the Akatsuki organization that I have now. Let us settle what happened back then as soon as possible and let the Kingdom of Rain
Peace will be restored one day sooner."
"good."
Jiraiya nodded calmly.
Sanshouyu Hanzo is a ninja demigod after all, so there is no need to worry about the other party not keeping his promise.
What's more, if Sansho Hanzo wanted to kill him, he could have done it as early as the Second Ninja War.
"Are you alone?"
Sansho Hanzo glanced at Jiraiya and continued: "When will the other support troops from Konoha arrive? If we want to wipe out the Akatsuki organization, just the two of us are not enough. That kid with the Rinnegan Eye is not easy to deal with..."
"..."
Jiraiya fell silent.
After all, I was not officially sent by Konoha to carry out the mission. I just came here to explore the information of Xiaonan's disciples. By the way, I also brought the disciple Akihara Kagura to practice...
"..."
Jiraiya thought for a while and took the initiative to take matters into his own hands: "If Sir Hanzo wants to peacefully resolve the war with the Akatsuki organization, I alone will be enough."
"Junior, are you kidding?"
Sanshouyu Hanzo's eyes widened and he warned: "Do you think the war between us and the Akatsuki organization can be resolved peacefully?"
When Sansho Hanzo talked about the past, his words suddenly became fierce: "Back then, Konoha's Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo and I killed Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. We even heard that most of the members of the Akatsuki organization died in
During that turmoil..."
"In that siege, only a little girl and the kid with the Samsara Eye escaped. This kind of hatred cannot be solved with a few words. The other party wants to use blood and life to wash away the hatred, but I won't
There is such a naive idea..."
"I see."
Jiraiya suddenly felt that things were a little more troublesome, and he could only force himself to speak: "First, let me understand the current situation of the Akatsuki organization!"
According to Sanho Hanzo, the Akatsuki organization must have great hostility towards Amegakure Village and Konoha. Konan and Nagato must have been completely blinded by hatred. Even Jiraiya, a Konoha ninja, was shocked after hearing what happened in the past.
I have a grudge against Danzo Shimura...
Yuyin Village.
This time, Jiraiya finally entered here in an upright manner.
I don't know what Sansho Hanzo was thinking. He actually ordered his subordinates to prepare a grand welcome ceremony, as if to celebrate his alliance with Konoha. This gave Jiraiya a headache. He actually came in a private capacity.
That's just a disguise to get information!
However…
Jiraiya had to take over this matter.
The Akatsuki organization is an organization established by his disciples. Even his old friend Orochimaru and surviving disciples Nagato and Konan are still in the Akatsuki organization. These two disciples have started to hate Konoha again because of Danzo Shimura.
.
Whether it is for the safety of Konoha, hidden dangers must be cleared, or he hopes that the surviving disciples will not go astray, Jiraiya must find a way to solve this matter.
Inside Yuyin Village.
Sansho Hanzo very seriously told Jiraiya all the currently known information that could be leaked to him, and he seemed to have recognized Jiraiya as his ally.
"The current leader of the Akatsuki organization is said to be a man named Payne. I haven't found out what the man named Payne looks like..."
"The main members within the Akatsuki organization that I have found so far are your S-class rebel ninja Orochimaru from Konoha, S-class rebel ninja Akasaka Scorpion from Sunagakure Village, S-class rebel ninja Kakuzu from Takigakure Village, and
Nagato and Konan, the two surviving veterans..."
"In addition, the Akatsuki organization is still recruiting peripheral members. It is said that any ninja can join them as long as he draws a horizontal mark on the ninja forehead guard..."
"The current Akatsuki organization is taking on large commissions by provoking wars in small countries, and at the same time organizing people to start a civil war with Yuyin Village. Their strength is actually growing..."
"I'm already very old."
Sansho Hanzo looked at Jiraiya and took the initiative to hand over the initiative: "What still supports my belief is that before I die, I can completely clean up the Akatsuki organization, eliminate the war in the Land of Rain, and let the rain
Peace is restored in the country.”
"..."
Jiraiya had a little headache.
Just because most of the core members of the Akatsuki organization are S-class rebel ninjas, Jiraiya thought that if he found the Akatsuki organization's base and sneaked in, he might die if he was accidentally discovered. Even Orochimaru would be difficult to deal with.
certainly.
If he could convince the two disciples Nagato and Konan after sneaking in, and also persuade Orochimaru to leave together, Jiraiya would have a lot of ideas.
As for the peace between Amegakure Village and the Akatsuki organization, as long as you bring out the disciples and Orochimaru, the remaining people who are unwilling to make peace can choose to destroy or expel them...
"I'll try to talk to people from the Akatsuki organization first..."
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and decided to try peaceful means.
"Junior."
Sansho Hanzo seemed to be able to see through Jiraiya's mind and said proactively: "Actually, if you can induce members of the Akatsuki organization to negotiate peacefully, it will be an opportunity for us to end the war."
Sansho Hanzo continued: "At the beginning, Konoha's Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo also came up with an idea to use the name of negotiation to invite the leader of the Akatsuki organization out, and kill the leader of the Akatsuki organization first. The other members would have no choice but to leave without a leader.
It was slaughtered by us."
"As long as the Akatsuki organization is solved."
Sansho Hanzo finished talking about his thoughts and reiterated his covenant with Konoha: "I will also abide by the covenant with Konoha's Hokage to assist Shimura Danzo."
"..."
This covenant is not needed at all!
Jiraiya really felt the shadow of Danzo Shimura.
Can that old guy do some serious things and stop acting recklessly outside, always leaving a lot of trouble for Konoha!
"I really want to resolve this issue peacefully."
Jiraiya sighed deeply and proactively suggested: "If possible, let's find out where the Akatsuki organization's base is hidden as soon as possible. I will find a way to sneak in and see if I can get more information about the Akatsuki organization.
intelligence…"
"Can."
Sanshouyu Hanzo agreed to Jiraiya and raised his own difficulties: "Except for exploring the base of the Akatsuki organization, Amegakure Village has no way to provide you with more help. We small ninja villages are not as talented as Konoha..."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiraiya doesn't care about these little things.
The meeting ended quickly, and Jiraiya gained a lot, knowing some of the information he wanted to explore and what happened in the past.
Of course.
Jiraiya simply chose to leave.
After watching Jiraiya leave Amegakure Village, Sanshouyu Hanzo suddenly ordered his subordinates: "Go and spread the news about Jiraiya's visit to Amegakure Village throughout the Land of Rain..."
"yes."
Sanshouyu Hanzo's men didn't understand, but they still chose to do it.
"Kid..."
When the whole room was empty, Sansho Hanzo's soul regained control of his body and took the initiative to speak the truth with his consciousness: "Have you checked my memory? Then you should know that Shimura Danzo proposed to kill the Akatsuki organization
When I came to those young people, my heart was indeed moved, because they threatened my rule..."
"It doesn't matter. Danzo-sama can handle such a small matter."
Akihara Kagura started a dialogue with the animal path Hanzo through remote consciousness communication: "What you want to do is a really big thing, much bigger than these things. Go collect psychic beasts first. Now you can freely strengthen those psychic beasts."
It’s a beast…”
"Why…"
Sanshouyu Hanzo had no way to resist.
This ninja demigod saw for the first time what a real high-end game is.
Sansho Hanzo still doesn't understand why Akihara Kagura, who is controlling him behind the scenes, wants to use himself to reveal information to Jiraiya: "If you tell Jiraiya, a junior like this, can those things really be solved?"
"Jiraiya-sensei...doesn't have the ability to solve it."
Akihara Kagura seemed to be convinced that her teacher was powerless, but she sighed: "But if he is willing to do it, at least we have to give him a chance. One pain can be endured, but two pains will not be so easy."
I forgot..."
The land of rain.
Inside a cave.
There was some silence in the Akatsuki organization's base.
The sound of clogs tapping on the stone slabs.
Xiaonan found Pain, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes: "Jiraiya has indeed come to the Country of Rain. A message has been spread throughout the Country of Rain. Jiraiya has been invited by Hanzo Sanshouyu to visit the Hidden Rain Village. No.
Know what they talked about..."
"do not mind."
Pain's face was always cold, as if everything was under control: "Even if Mr. Jiraiya stands on the opposite side of us, the outcome of this war will not change."
"god."
"You won't lose."
Payne thought of his teacher's temper and continued: "Maybe Teacher Jiraiya may want to persuade us to surrender, but this time is different from the past. I will not believe the peace in my mouth, and I will not forget the world.
The pain it brought me..."
First update, five thousand words!
There are still 15,000 words left today!
Good morning everyone, remember to have breakfast. I will also go to sleep first and continue writing when I wake up!
