The Land of Rain is a country shrouded in rain all year round.
The outside world knows very little about the Kingdom of Rain. They only know that the country is divided into civil wars and has been fighting for years. The public security is very strict and they are afraid of invasion by some spies.
The ninja village it belongs to is the Rain Ninja Village, and its leader is Sansho Hanzo, who is known as the demigod in the ninja world.
…
In the hazy rain curtain, a group of blurry figures stood motionless.
Facing the southeast direction and looking up.
It seems that he is waiting for someone.
Tap tap tap
Stepping through the stagnant water, a group of Anbu wearing grimace masks escorted a bandaged man through the dense forest and quickly headed towards the border of the Land of Rain.
Hanzo, who had been waiting here for a long time, waved his hand and signaled the rain ninja around him to clear a path.
Danzo led a group of ANBU forward.
"You're late, Danzo."
Hanzo crossed his arms and stood on a high ground, overlooking Danzo from above.
"Don't waste your time by talking nonsense."
Danzo frowned slightly and responded coldly.
The agreed time is today, and it is now eleven o'clock in the evening.
The most he could do was arrive relatively late, and he was not late at all.
The reason why Hanzo said this was just to put him in a disadvantageous position and take the initiative in speaking.
It's a little trick that doesn't make it on the stage.
No one in the group even cares!
"The destination is a hotel on the border of the Kingdom of Rain. You can send someone there to take a look first."
Hanzo didn't dwell on Danzo's late arrival.
Instead, he waved and signaled a rain ninja to come forward and lead the way.
Danzo nodded calmly, and an ANBU wearing a grimace mask behind him immediately followed.
The two parties are not yet candid enough to fully trust each other.
Hanzo didn't want to take Danzo to his base camp, and Danzo didn't feel confident about entering the Rain Ninja Village. A small hotel on the border would be the best.
The Anbu of the root and the rain ninja brought by Hanzo retreated one after another.
Leave a space of nearly thirty steps in the middle. This distance is neither too far nor too close, and it is also convenient for both sides to provide support at any time.
At the same time, it can also give Danzo and Hanzo enough space to talk.
There are some things they must agree on beforehand.
"Although we have made an agreement, I still want to confirm it in person."
Hanzo squinted his eyes and stared at Danzo. Making a deal with the man in front of him was undoubtedly a deal with the devil.
However, he is not a good person.
If Danzo is a demon, he is the god who punishes demons!
"The Rain Ninja help Konoha encircle and suppress the Cloud Ninja. We will help you consolidate the Rain Ninja's position in the Land of Rain and destroy the so-called rebels."
Danzo remained calm and said in a dry tone.
What he said was very interesting.
Hanzo is a seasoned man who seeks the country, so he couldn't understand the meaning of Danzo's words. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke quietly.
"You help destroy the rebels, and the rain ninja helps Konoha deal with the cloud ninja."
It may seem repetitive, but it's actually not that simple.
The key here is order!
Danzo's request is to first solve the Kumo-nin problem, and then help Hanzo consolidate his power and wipe out other ninja forces in the Rain Country except the Rain-nin Village.
Hanzo, on the other hand, asked Konoha to help eliminate other forces first, and then he would take action against the Kumo ninja.
"If this continues, it will be difficult for us to reach an agreement."
Danzo stared at Hanzo with a cold face, his gloomy aura overflowing, even colder than the rain in the Land of Rain.
He is worthy of being called the Darkness of the Ninja World.
Unfortunately, it had no effect in front of Hanzo. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and did not give in at all. He would not put his own foundation as a bet.
And he just wanted to use the power of Konoha to make the plan achieve a 100% probability.
As for whether to help Konoha deal with Kumo Ninja?
Who knows?
The two old foxes both saw the other's empty-handed mentality and did not want to give at all, showing no sincerity at all.
You only give a blank check, but expect the other party to give you all your help.
Where in the world can such a good thing exist?
After looking at each other coldly for a long time, the two of them snorted and retracted their momentum at the same time.
"Humph, old fox."
"Each other."
After pondering for a moment, Danzo slowly spoke.
"I do have a compromise."
At first, Danzo took a half step back, which seemed a little unbelievable.
However, after thinking about it, I can understand that the civil strife in the Kingdom of Rain has been a long-standing problem. It is already chaotic anyway, and it will remain the same if it continues to be chaotic.
The problem of Yunyin Village must be resolved as soon as possible.
He didn't have time to argue with Hanzo.
"Tell me."
Hanzo knew that Danzo would give in, otherwise it would not be Danzo who took the initiative to send someone to contact him this time.
Yunyin Village is collecting a large amount of strategic materials in preparation for avenging its past humiliation.
This matter is a secret to civilians, but to him, the leader of Yuren Village, it is not a secret at all.
Hanzo even knows the approximate location of Kumoyin Village’s leading reconnaissance force!
"An organization called Akatsuki has recently emerged in the Kingdom of Rain. Are you having a headache?"
The corners of Danzo's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of confidence.
When it comes to the means of getting things done, Tuan Renren is not inferior to anyone else!
Hanzo's face darkened. Although the Kingdom of Rain is not as exclusive as the Kingdom of Water, it is not something that just cats and dogs can sneak into casually.
The Akatsuki organization has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and it seems that it is about to become a worry for him.
He didn't say this explicitly, but Danzo knew it
It can only mean that there are Konoha spies in the Rain Country!
This is not good news!
"Don't be so nervous, we are allies and we should help each other!"
Danzo comforted him without any sincerity, and then continued to speak.
"Why don't you invite the Akatsuki alliance in the name of peace talks and let them sneak attack the Kumo ninja. They will take the lead and consume each other's strength with the Kumo ninja."
"No matter what the outcome is, with your demigod methods, this so-called Akatsuki organization should not continue to exist, right?"
This sentence simply spoke to Hanzo's heart.
There are many forces opposing the Rain Ninja Village in the Country of Rain, but they are not enough of a threat.
Only this Xiao
Dawn.
He wants to completely change the war-torn Rain Country and build a bridge of hope leading to world peace through communication between people.
A large number of like-minded people have gathered.
If it is allowed to develop, Hanzo believes that within three years, his Rain Ninja Village will become a thing of the past and his rule will end.
Danzo made it clear that he was scheming, but it was a conspiracy.
"That alone is not enough, Danzo-dono."
Hanzo said in a deep voice, seemingly refusing, but in fact he was not.
Because his name for Danzo has changed.
"Oh? What else do you want?"
Danzo raised his eyebrows, as if the old god was there.
He knew that Hanzo couldn't refuse, but he was just a little unwilling to do so.
Just like buying something, even if the merchant raises the price and offers a discount, it is much more comfortable than selling it at a flat price with no discount for a dime.
This is the human heart.
If Hanzo just wants a discount, Danzo doesn't mind giving it to him.
"Trade channels, Konoha must open trade with the Country of Rain."
"This is not looking at us, but looking at you."
In a country that is experiencing civil strife every day, how many desperate businessmen would go to such a place with their heads in their belts?
Maybe, but definitely not much.
In peacetime, Konoha will not prohibit trade with any country, even the hostile Thunder Country, the xenophobic Water Country, and the insidious Earth Country.
Wartime is a different matter.
Hanzo obviously understands this truth, so he doesn't hesitate.
All he needed was a word from Danzo, or an attitude from Konoha.
"Second, you must take action first."
In order to consolidate the rule of the Rain Ninja Village, the Akatsuki organization is what Hanzo wants to destroy, but he cannot be used as a spear user by Konoha.
The Akatsuki organization is a hostile force internally, and externally they are also called the ninjas of the Land of Rain.
If it were a direct sneak attack on the vanguard of Yunyin Village.
God knows if those crazy dogs in Yunyin Village will go crazy and catch them and bite them?
If Konoha takes action first, Hanzo won't have so many worries.
Konoha is bearing the pressure of the frontal battlefield. He only needs to make gains from behind. War and plunder are the key to getting rich!
"no problem."
Danzo smiled inexplicably and agreed wholeheartedly.
As early as before setting off to the Land of Rain, he had already sent two ANBU teams to intercept and kill Kumo ninja Jonin Yozuki Kato and his party.
…
The third generation used the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan to tamper with the memory of Kumo ninja Jonin Yozuki Kato.
Trying to get the Cloud Ninja Envoys to bring back a message.
A message that Konoha is full of heritage and not afraid of war.
to achieve a peaceful solution.
Danzo thought this was a sign of weakness and pedantry, so he planned to directly destroy Yozuki Kato and his party in the Land of Fire!
If Yunyin Village gives up and swallows its anger, then forget it.
What if Yunyin Village wants to fight?
Hum!
Someone from the regiment destroyed Yunyin Village together!
