Thanks to Hyou's unreserved statement of the truth in front of tens of thousands of Kiri ninjas that night, there was no way to conceal the news of the assassination of the Third Mizukage.
Although, Kirigakure Village didn’t even think about hiding it.
So, when the news gradually spread, the entire ninja world seemed to be boiling.
Whether it is a village ninja or a wandering ninja, whether it is a daimyo or a commoner...
Countless people rushed to tell each other, completely spreading the aftermath of this matter to every corner of the ninja world.
After a few weeks passed, even the four- and five-year-old children in the iron country in the north and the remote tea country understood this matter.
The death of Mizukage has extraordinary significance.
Because the strength of each Great Ninja Village Kage stands at the top of the Ninja World Pyramid, their status is far superior to thousands of ordinary ninjas, and they can be said to be one of the five most powerful people in the world.
one.
Such a big man died, and he died at the hands of Konoha ninjas. Such shocking news shocked the attention of many people and kept them awake all night.
Shocked, appalled, unbelievable, dumbfounded...
All kinds of emotions surged in the hearts of countless people. Even civilians who were not familiar with the world couldn't help but talk about it after learning about it, let alone the ninjas?
No matter which country they belong to, no matter where they are, or which ninja village they are, after hearing the news, they behaved no better than the civilians.
Less than two years after the Second Ninja War began, a shadow has already died. As a result, many ninjas gradually began to realize:
The intensity and danger of this war that swept through the entire ninja world far exceeded everyone's imagination.
The future seems to be going crazy soon.
Correspondingly, as the news of Mizukage's death spread widely, the name of the Konoha ninja who killed Mizukage also came into the eyes of the world:
Jueying, Lei Luo.
A straightforward code name and a simple name, which makes people feel somewhat familiar.
Then, someone recalled Lei Luo’s deeds:
When he first appeared on the stage of the ninja world, it started with the Kamiouqiu incident, where he madly killed twenty or thirty jounin of Amegakure and Sunagakure, leaving Monzaemon helpless.
Later, he fought with Sanshouyu Hanzo to a draw, allowing the menacing Amegakure Village demigod to return in vain.
Then...it seemed to be dormant for a while.
Until he appears again now, like a bolt from the blue, his existence is directly announced with the death of the third Mizukage.
Although Lei Luo's achievements are mostly unknown, in the ninja world, more than 99% of ninjas have never seen him take action.
However, there were only three achievements that were spread through the mouths of others, and Lei Luo's strength was clearly displayed in front of the world, causing all ninjas in the ninja world to quickly make judgments:
This is a ninja whose strength is not inferior to the Kage of the Great Ninja Village, and is even stronger than the Kage.
For a time, the ninja world was in turmoil, with all kinds of discussions, discussions, and exclamations coming out one after another.
Civilians, ninjas, nobles, and even daimyo from various countries all unanimously remembered Lei Luo's name in their hearts and classified him as an existence that must not be provoked.
For the senior leaders of the major ninja villages, Lei Luo's existence is like a pain in their throats, and they even feel uneasy when sleeping.
The reason why I feel this way is because if I count every mission that Lei Luo performs, I will find a characteristic that looks very interesting, but actually makes the senior officials of each village fearful:
That is, Lei Luo never performs ordinary tasks, and his business scope does not include protecting his employer, nor does it include routine intelligence transmission, and it can be said that he has nothing to do with the low-level ninjas in each village.
Compared to Konoha White Fang, another top combat power in Konoha Village, Lei Luo seems to be very "picky" and the nature of the tasks he performs is also extremely "dull".
Assassinations, explicit killings, and various targeted and highly targeted killings make it easy to judge Lei Luo's motivations for his actions:
It seems that they will only attack the high-end combat power of each village.
In the eyes of the village senior officials who knew certain information about Lei Luo, Lei Luo was not like a normal ninja, but more like a killer, a killer who specialized in hunting shadow-level ninjas.
Moreover, with the example of the Third Mizukage, no one would think that Lei Luo, the "Jue Ying", was not worthy of his name. In other words, this code name now seems to be extremely appropriate.
Perhaps it is precisely because of realizing this that at this moment, both the Tsuchikage and Kazekage who are fighting Konoha, as well as the elders of Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages, seem to have trouble sleeping and eating.
Therefore, almost as soon as they received the information about Lei Luo, Tsuchikage Onoki and the Third Kazekage did not hesitate to increase the number of guards around them, and the members of the Shadow Guard did not dare to transfer them at all.
As for Sansho Hanzo... Since the two generals of Ame Hidden Village, Boi Yu and Hai Shen, were killed one after another, Hanzo did not take any precautions like the Tsuchikage and Kazekage.
only……
The rain ninjas, who originally had little desire to attack, seemed to have become even more insignificant. They spent the whole day huddled in various fortifications, and their passive and slow attitude was simply palpable.
Of course, in order to avoid the anger of his allies, Hanzo would still arrive at the battlefield in person from time to time, and he and Tsuchikage Onoki would attack Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha elites.
But Hanzo is not stupid, on the contrary, he knows very well the virtues of these great ninja villagers.
Therefore, in every battle, Hanzo would basically not use his full strength. He would just pretend to maintain a tie with some of Konoha's weak Kage-level ninja clan leaders. After dozens of battles, there would be no results.
Although with Hanzo's strength, it was almost effortless to kill the weak Kage-level opponents, he was able to hold back his killing intent and forcibly restrain the desire to attack in his heart.
Although Hanzo was trapped in the situation and had to join forces with Iwagakure and Sunagakure, this did not mean that he, Amegakure, and the Country of Rain were the dogs of the Great Ninja Village.
He really didn't want to be enmity with Konoha, not to mention that the strength of the young man Lei Luo who had fought with him was becoming more and more terrifying, and the speed of his strength improvement was completely incomprehensible.
Today, the opponent was able to single-kill Mizukage and a master of the same level as him. Then tomorrow, will the opponent be able to come over and kill Hanzo alone?
If he dies, what will happen to Yugakure? What will happen to the Kingdom of Rain?
The hidden worry in my heart is manifested in specific actions, which is probably that the work is done but not the effort.
Onoki, who fought alongside Hanzo, may have clearly realized this, so he often showed off to Hanzo, but was ignored by the latter.
