The general idea has been decided, and the next step is the specific implementation method.
Even Hanzo, an outsider, can see the internal conflicts among the great ninja villages very clearly.
There is no need to sow discord. As long as the "common threat" of Amegakure becomes weaker and less conspicuous, the war between Konoha, Sunagakure and Iwagakure will naturally break out.
What Hanzo needs to do is to detonate this process in advance.
Nowadays, the war between Sunagakure and Konoha is neither painful nor itchy. It is obviously still in the trial stage. Hanzo is ready to add fuel to the fire and completely tear these great ninja villages apart.
Originally there was no such opportunity, but Jueying's existence and Jueying's actions gave Hanzo this opportunity.
Naturally, Hanzo would not know that Zeekage only represented Danzo's will. In his view, Zeekage's reckless actions completely demonstrated Konoha's attitude of breaking the balance.
The moment Jueying started his killing spree, he no longer represented more than just himself.
"Hanzo, the Iwagakure spy in the village who has already obtained his identity is still under surveillance, right?" Hanzo had already made up his mind and gently placed the wine bowl on the table.
All melancholy, all hatred, and all nostalgia must be temporarily put aside.
Hanzo knew that it was not his time to rest yet.
Kanzang nodded and said in a deep voice: "They are all under our surveillance, and those people didn't notice anything."
"Okay." Hanzo's eyes flashed with cold light, "I will tell you the detailed information about Jueying later, and you have to spread the information about Jueying to them without leaving any trace.
"Then, he revealed the fact that our rain ninjas have suffered heavy losses in recent times, and all of this was caused by Jueying."
In order to dispel Onoki's suspicion, Hanzo was not prepared to contact the Iwagakure directly, but first misled the Iwagakure's spies planted in Amegakure.
"Showing weakness to the enemy?" A trace of hesitation flashed across Kanzo's face, but he still accepted the order decisively. "Yes, Lord Hanzo, I understand."
Hanzo pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "In addition, in the next three days, our defense lines will all shrink. We will first retreat a hundred kilometers. Some of the outer strongholds can be selectively abandoned. The focus is on the front on Konoha's side.
, give it all up!”
"This..." Kanzo couldn't sit still this time, "Master Hanzo, is it necessary to go to this level? Those strongholds were established with great difficulty by us, and every time we give up one, we are hurting our country of rain.
Cut the flesh!"
"If those great ninja villages take the opportunity to counterattack, we rain ninjas will have many deaths!"
"I know this!" Hanzo glared at Kanzo fiercely and gasped:
"But if we don't do this, Sunagakure and Iwagakure will not believe that we have been hit hard. By then, the war will continue, the intensity will increase, the scope may even expand again, and more of our rain ninjas will die!
"
Kanzo's body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Hanzo, aren't you afraid that these great ninja villages will unite to destroy us?"
Hanzo sighed, stared blankly at the moon outside the window, and murmured to himself: "If it were before, I would naturally not do such a thing that would ruin my martial arts."
"But it's different now. Konoha's strength has broken the balance. Sunagakure, Iwagakure, even Kirigakure, and Kumogakure, they will not let us Amegakure collapse."
"Konoha can send out a Zeekage silently, but who knows if there will be a second or third Zeekage? I'm not the only one worried about this, I believe every Kage in the Great Ninja Village is worried.
.”
Kanzo understood what Hanzo meant, which was to use the "Konoha Threat Theory" as the guiding ideology and the sudden appearance of Juekage without any information circulating as the actual basis, proving that Konoha still retains a powerful and unknown power.
Strength, and must have great intentions.
You must know that the strength of any ninja who has reached the Kage level cannot be developed overnight. This requires a process, and this process cannot leak any information whatsoever.
This is an era of war, and the dispatch of any Kage-level expert is no small matter. Whether he is performing a mission or fighting with other ninjas, there will be witnesses, and no trace will be left behind.
But Jueying is really like a ghost without a shadow. No one even knew of his existence before the Shenyingqiu incident. Jueying's ability is also different from all the strong men in Konoha.
What this means, Hanzo feels that all the senior officials of the Ninja Village except Konoha understand it.
After the appearance of Juekage, the "Konoha threat theory" is no longer Sunagakure's trick, but a real problem.
Giving up part of the territory, cooperating with the enemy to weaken his own strength, quickly diverting the attention of the Great Ninja Village, and letting Konoha replace Amegakure as the new "target of public criticism" became Hanzo's latest plan.
There may be a little pain during this process, but in the long run it will undoubtedly minimize Yu Nin's losses.
Hanzo dared to take this risky move precisely because he understood the conflicts between the great ninja villages very well.
In Hanzo's view, the war between ninja villages will never stop. The entanglement of interests, the chain of hatred, the poison of suspicion... all of this is like a surging torrent, pushing all ninjas forward towards that chaotic future.
.
However, Hanzo wants to remove Amegakure Village from the "main contradiction" of the war and turn it into a "secondary contradiction".
Although doing so is very risky, it is not without opportunities. This can be seen from the fact that Sunagakure decisively declared war on Konoha, and then Iwagakure intensified its actions against Konoha.
The top leaders of every village are not fools. The problems that Hanzo can see can also be seen by all Kages.
In this case, there is no need to hold on for dear life. When it is time to take a step back, this is what Hanzo really thinks.
Therefore, it became Hanzo's primary goal to dispel the Kage's fear of Amegakure as soon as possible, make them "at ease" with Amegakure, and then rush to fight Konoha to the death.
"Sunagakure is already our ally, what matters is Iwagakure's attitude." Hanzo explained his thoughts to Kanzo, and slowly said: "It is necessary to properly show our "sincerity" to Iwagakure.
"
"Is it necessary...?" Kanzang lowered his head and repeated silently.
After a long while, Kanzo raised his head and asked softly: "Master Hanzo, why don't we directly negotiate with the Tsuchikage?"
"Or... send out sea snakes to reduce our disadvantages."
"Don't be naive! Kanzo!" Hanzo shouted:
"If we don't dispel the Iwa Ninja's fear, they will not talk to us! Direct negotiation will only be counterproductive, and the Iwa Ninja will definitely think that we have ulterior motives!"
"And..." Hanzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Kanzo coldly:
"You are not allowed to mention sea snakes here. Do you want our final trump card to be exposed?"
After finishing his words, Hanzo directly ordered in a commanding tone:
"Starting from tomorrow, all rain ninjas scattered in the Land of Rain will be evacuated, and the battle line will be pulled back a hundred kilometers. Do you understand?"
Most of the Amegakure ninjas are lurking in the occupied areas of major ninja villages. If you let them retreat rashly, some people will be left behind by the enemy. And the materials hidden in those strongholds will basically be given to the enemy in vain.
Kanzang is not an unreasonable person, but this knife cut on his body really hurts.
Not only to let Iwa Ninja see the so-called "sincerity", but also to show Konoha's "threat", this is the purpose of the next period of action.
"I remember, Hanzo-sama." Now that the order has been made clear, there is nothing to hesitate about surveying. After all, Hanzo-sama has led the rain ninjas all the way to this point. If there was no other way, he wouldn't have done it even if he thought about it.
This is an unjust policy.
only……
Is it unjust? Who can tell clearly?
Sacrificing a small number of rain ninjas so that more rain ninjas can survive is the righteousness in the heart of Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Hidden Village.
Even if you are not understood, even if you are reviled...
But it is the leader's responsibility to bear all the sins.
Hanzo stood up and walked slowly around the room to calm his gloomy heart.
Being in the center of the whirlpool of the times, Hanzo did not want it. He came up with this method not only to get the rain ninja out of the quagmire of the war as soon as possible, but more importantly, to plan for the future.
If all goes well with the plan, Amegakure Village will soon be out of the sight of both sides in the war. No matter who wins next, the Sunagakure Iwagakure Alliance or Konoha, both sides will definitely suffer losses and their forces will be greatly reduced, and they will no longer be able to interfere in the situation in the Country of Rain.
The Great Ninja Village always wants to weaken Amegakure, Hanzo doesn't mind stabbing himself first to lower their vigilance, and then sit back and watch them weaken each other.
At that time, without external interference, Yuyin Village can usher in real development opportunities.
Of course... it may be an opportunity, or it may be destruction.
But the opportunity has definitely presented itself, and Hanzo is really unwilling to give up.
"This is the sorrow of a small country..." Hanzo looked up at the bright moon and sighed silently again.
