Ten kilometers away from the plain where Yahiko and others are located, at the top of a towering canyon, at the edge, Sanshouyu Hanzo is holding a long sword in his left hand and a sickle in his right hand. He stands here quietly, looking down at the Land of Rain below.
earth.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the gray-black cloaks were floating up and down, reflecting the solemn faces. Kanzang, Rinku and other senior members of Yuyin were standing there.
Behind him, to the left and to the left, there were many Amegakure ninjas wearing simple raincoats. A rough count of them was about thirty or fifty, all of whom were jounin-level ninjas from Amegakure Village.
Not far away, there were two sansho fish lying on their backs.
The atmosphere on the surface of the canyon was very quiet. Even the two grumpy beasts seemed to feel the chilling atmosphere and did not move as usual.
All the rain ninjas are waiting for Akatsuki's arrival.
Peace? The probability is slim.
War? It seems to have become a necessity.
So what else is there to talk about?
No one knows, not even Hanzo's confidants and disciples, Kanzo and Rinku, know the leader's plan. They only know that the leader wants to talk, and that's enough.
The preparations for the collapse of the talks have been made.
While waiting, time slowly passed, and the moist air after the rain poured into the respirator, bringing a refreshing feeling to the chest...
Hanzo's eyes became much more relaxed.
The demigod of the ninja world, who is over fifty years old this year, increasingly feels that his energy is not as good as before. No one can defeat time, except that young man...
Oh, he should be almost thirty now, right?
Thinking of the previous confrontation, the only experience of fighting against the opponent, Hanzo shook his head slightly, and a trace of heartfelt regret suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The cannon fodder Chuunin, the root Zeekage, the commander of the Ninja Army, the Fourth Hokage, until... the ruler of the Fire Country, who is about to single-handedly compete with the men of the world.
At that time, if I could have worked harder, even if I risked my life, wouldn't such tragedies of roommates fighting with each other happen again today? The world...
Does it mean that we will not experience catastrophe?
Xiao...
What a great group of young people, with ideals and beliefs, and if they are properly cultivated, they will become great talents, but just, how...
The endless thoughts in his mind aroused the hidden emotions in Hanzo's heart, causing him to unconsciously use both hands to tightly grasp the handles of the cold weapons on both sides, making a series of clicking sounds.
This sound, in the quiet environment where you can hear a needle drop, is so eye-catching.
"Lord Hanzo, you..."
Kanzang hesitated for a moment and took a step forward, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rough voice, his tone filled with a strong sense of exhaustion.
The tone of voice is slightly old.
"I'm fine!"
It was Hanzo. He didn't look back. He still turned his back to the people around him, so no one could see the expression on his face clearly. They could only hear the sound of vigorous breathing that continued for a while.
Kanzang looked at the leader's back worriedly, his open mouth gradually closed, and Rin Kong beside him said after a brief thought:
"Master, I should be able to handle Jiraiya alone. Why don't you hurry up and get Yahiko..."
"Shut up!"
Rinkuang's expression tightened and he closed his mouth. Hanzo paused for a moment, perhaps because his mood had eased a bit, and the tone of his next sentence became much calmer:
"How long until they arrive?"
This time it was Kanzang who said: "It should not exceed..."
Before he finished speaking, Kan Zang quickly changed his words when his peripheral vision scanned the distant horizon and saw the dark shadows approaching rapidly:
"They're already here."
Hanzo also noticed the movement in the distance, and immediately suppressed all selfish thoughts in his mind, his expression returned to the solemn one at the beginning, and he watched silently...
The patriotic group named Akatsuki is actually a rebel organization that is the minions of the Kingdom of Fire. The faces of each of its members are constantly changing from blurry to clear before the eyes.
In just a few minutes, all twenty-three members of Akatsuki arrived at the flat ground not far below the canyon. The leader of the organization, Yahiko, stopped and raised his head...
He looked at Hanzo diagonally above him.
Separated by tens of meters, each other's eyes met. Through some subtle changes in the eyes, Hanzo read part of the information, and this also led to the first sentence he spoke, which was:
"Yahiko, if Akatsuki surrenders to Yugakure, I am willing to hand over the position of Yugakure's deputy leader to you. I swear by my honor and position as Sanshouyu Hanzo, I will never lie!"
All of Akatsuki's ninjas, including Yahiko, obviously did not expect Hanzo to do this, and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
In fact, not only Xiao, but also Yuyin...
There were also bursts of commotion.
Hanzo paid no attention to the movement behind him. He stared at Yahiko's slightly lowered head, as if he was thinking about something, and the second sentence followed:
"Yahiko, you and I are both ninjas from the Land of Rain. There is no reason for us to fight each other. There is no reason for those big countries to see the jokes of our small country!"
Hanzo's true thoughts at this moment were clearly revealed in this second sentence. Even though he was involved with the Four Nations Alliance and the anti-Fire Nation Alliance, even though this meeting with Akatsuki was ordered by the alliance, but...
The patron saint of the Kingdom of Rain obviously does not want to see the dispute between Yugakure and Akatsuki become the trigger of a war, does not want to see the Kingdom of Rain turn into a battlefield for a war again, and does not even want to see...
The war really started.
Therefore, even if he holds a ten thousandth of hope, even if everything is his own wishful thinking, Hanzo still wants to try his best for peace, try...
Eliminate this war, which seems to be inevitable.
Alzheimer's disease? Stupid?
Regarding Hanzo's words, this was the evaluation that all the Akatsuki ninjas had in mind, except for Jiraiya, who looked up thoughtfully at this moment and looked at Hanzo above the canyon, vaguely seeming to understand something.
There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, but finally closed it.
"Hanzo! Do you think this is a joke?"
Just at this moment, Yahiko spoke. His voice was loud, trying to be heard clearly by everyone, but the look he looked at Hanzo was very calm, as if no external factors could shake the will in his heart.
"I tell you! This is revolution! This is a new society, new system, and new ideas that will revolutionize the lives of you feudal rulers!"
"In this transformation, starting from the Fire Nation and ending with the four major kingdoms, no matter it is a distant island, a vast desert, a majestic mountain, or a desolate grassland... no place or anyone can escape this raging
Burning fire of change!”
Yahiko slowly opened his arms, stared at Hanzo without blinking, stared at the uncertain old face, raised all his strength, and roared loudly:
"A joke?! What do you think revolution is?!!"
"Big countries and small countries, civilians and ninjas, daimyo and nobles... everyone and all countries in this world cannot stay away from this! Do you understand, Hanzo?!"
"The haze shrouding the ninja world will eventually be dispelled! And we, Akatsuki, are willing to be the first ray of light to pierce the sky!!"
