Just as Kizaru was following Tsunade and starting to learn strange powers, Kakuzu, who had already taken over the task, also started taking action.
The Kingdom of Kawazu where Kakuzu was previously located was originally adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire. Therefore, it only took him half a day to sneak into the Kingdom of Fire.
Lurking in the Land of Fire, in a city close to Konoha Village, Kakuzu discovered a very troublesome problem.
That was his own goal, Shimura Kizaru, and he never took over the task.
If he doesn't accept the mission, Kizaru won't leave the village, and Kakuzu will naturally have no chance to take action.
Although he was once a powerful ninja who assassinated the First Hokage and successfully escaped with his life, Kakuzu did not think that he could assassinate his target in Konoha Village.
After all, the information provided from the black market showed that the target was not weak and had a record of killing jounin (the information about ambushing the Raikage was hidden by the three major ninja villages). It was estimated that it would be difficult for him to defeat his opponent in a short time.
Once the target cannot be killed in a short period of time, Kakudo, where the assassination was carried out in Konoha, will be under siege and it will be difficult to escape.
Seventy-five million dollars is indeed enviable, but Kakuzu still hopes to earn the money while alive.
Therefore, Kakuzu has been very patiently lurking in the city, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Kizaru to go out.
At the same time, Kakuzu also conveyed his needs to the client behind this huge bounty through the Fire Country's money exchange.
He needs the customer's help to attract Shimura Kizaru out of the village so that he can do it.
Regarding Kakuzu's request, the three major ninja villages that issued bounties also understood it.
Looking at the entire ninja world, there are a few ninjas who can single-handedly assassinate the powerful genius ninjas in the five major ninja villages at their base camp.
On this point, Yunyin Village has a strong say.
After all, the genius ninja Dodai in their village was killed by Shimura Kizaru alone in the base camp.
And it wasn't an assassination, but a killing with one blow directly in front of hundreds of ninjas.
When he thought of this, the anger in the third generation Raikage's heart became even stronger!
During this period, under the leadership of the Third Raikage, the three great ninja villages, Kumo, Iwa, and Sand, were in frequent contact with each other and had the potential to jointly attack Konoha.
There is no way, Kizaru's performance in raiding Yunyin Village is really too shocking.
Konoha was also aware of the changes in the three major ninja villages. Danzo stepped up his spying on external intelligence, and the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen even reduced the number of missions he took.
The five major ninja villages, except Kirigakure Village which adopted a closed policy, all felt the atmosphere of war.
The ninja world, which remains peaceful on the surface, has actually turned into a huge explosive barrel, only one spark away from detonating it.
"Hanzo-sama, everyone is ready!"
In the Land of Rain, in the Hidden Rain Village, in a large room, Hanzo, wearing a breathing mask, sat on the main seat, and below him stood the elite ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village.
With adoring and fanatical eyes, all the ninjas in the room looked at Hanzo sitting high up.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Hanzo is no longer just a powerful ninja, but a great leader and a god!
The Country of Rain, which has been poor and weak for too many years, really longs for the emergence of a hero, a hero who can lead everyone to change the status quo and become bigger and stronger.
At this time, Hanzo gave everyone hope. They all believed that under Hanzo's leadership, the Kingdom of Rain would definitely become the sixth largest country comparable to the five major countries.
After leaving his seat and standing up, Hanzo looked at the large sand table in front of him.
On the sand table, he and Yuyin Village's huge ambitions were revealed.
Blitz the Kingdom of Iron, severely damage the Kingdom of Wind, and defeat the Kingdom of Fire.
With these three battles, the territory was expanded and the Kingdom of Rain established itself as a great nation.
Looking away from the sand table, Hanzo looked around at the fanatical men below. At this moment, Hanzo was filled with pride and felt that the realization of his dream for many years was right before his eyes.
Under the countless expectant eyes below, Hanzo said confidently: "Tomorrow early morning, we will raid the Iron Kingdom!"
"As you command!"
All the ninjas looked happy and excited, and answered in unison with great momentum.
With Hanzo's command, the spark that ignited the explosive barrel of the ninja world bloomed from the Land of Rain, a country that rains all year round and is full of swamps.
.....
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Danzo, who had just woken up, received information from his subordinates.
The Kingdom of Rain declared war on the Kingdom of Iron, and Hanzo personally led his men to raid the Kingdom of Iron.
Without any hesitation, Danzo left his residence and prepared to find Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Have someone wake up Kizaru and go to the Hokage Building to stand by!" Danzo told his tribe before leaving.
"Ha~"
Not long after Danzo left, Kizaru was awakened by someone, and with hazy sleepy eyes, he got dressed and left the clan.
When Kizaru arrived at Sarutobi Hiruzen's office, there were already many people in the small room.
The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat in the main seat, with the Hokage assisting Danzo, and the two advisors, Mito Kadeni, moved to Koharu's bed, and lived on both sides.
Anbu chief Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Hatake Sakumo were also standing in the office on standby.
Entering the office, Kizaru looked around and walked straight to the side of Sarutobi Shinnosuke without saying anything.
Not long after Kizaru entered the office, Tsunade, the representative of Konoha Hospital, also walked in.
Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya and Orochimaru also rushed to the office.
Seeing everyone from the Hokage family arriving, Sarutobi Hiruzen also put down his pipe and looked at Danzo beside him.
Understanding what his old friend meant, Danzo coughed lightly and began to speak.
"According to the intelligence from Genbu, at three o'clock this morning, Hanzo from the Country of Rain led his ninjas to raid the Country of Iron. The situation of the battle is unknown now, and I have asked people to step up detective work."
Danzo's words instantly broke the peace in the office.
"The Kingdom of Iron is no match for Hanzo!" Mito Monobu, who is not only an advisor to the Hokage, but also serves as a staff member and possesses Kage-level strength, said out loud. ("Rin no Sho" says that Mito Kadoba has and
The Third Hokage has equal strength.)
"Hanzo must not be allowed to invade the Kingdom of Iron." Koharu also said after sleeping.
"Hanzo's ambition, I have said it before. We must not watch the rise of the Rain Country!" Danzo said firmly, "My opinion, send troops to the Rain Country!"
After Danzo finished speaking, Jiraiya, who stood behind Tsunade and side by side with Orochimaru, opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
Orochimaru, who knew Jiraiya's character very well, noticed his movements.
With a stretch of his hand, Orochimaru stopped Jiraiya's move, and shook his head towards Jiraiya who was looking at him.
The open mouth slowly closed, and Jiraiya remained silent with a little loss.
"If we send troops to the Land of Rain, I'm worried that there might be something strange happening in Kumogakure." As the head of ANBU, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who has recently been ordered to monitor the movements of Kumogakure, expressed his worries.
"Shinnosuke's words make sense. We must be on guard against Kumogakure Village." Mito Kabuto said in agreement.
Nodding, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with their opinions.
