For someone who can face Hanzo without changing his expression and remain calm, it is no wonder that Hanzo would praise him in his heart.
It's not that Hanzo is so arrogant, but because there are really not many people in the ninja world who can face him so close and remain unmoved.
Just talking about this kind of character, it is rare in the entire ninja world.
It is not without reason that the Akatsuki organization can develop to this point.
"I have seen your proposal. Peace is indeed the unity of all forces. I hope to use your strength to negotiate with the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire respectively, and use you as the axis to unite the Kingdom of Rain.
Save yourself from this war.
I am not young anymore, and the Kingdom of Rain will still need ambitious young people like you in the future."
Hearing Hanzo's words, the members of the Akatsuki organization behind Yahiko all had smiles on their faces.
Once Yahiko becomes the leader of Amegakure Village, they will ascend to heaven and become the official ninjas of Amegakure Village, and they will no longer have to live a homeless life.
However, Yahiko was not dazzled by this joy.
He won't be happy about it until everything is over and the dust has settled.
He extended his hand to Hanzo and said, "In that case, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Looking at Yahiko's outstretched hand, Hanzo suddenly had a thought in his mind.
Dare to shake hands with yourself?
If we can seize the opportunity to subdue him in one fell swoop, the Akatsuki organization will not be able to stir up much trouble.
But soon, Hanzo banished this thought from his mind.
He can subdue Yahiko in an instant.
He has this certainty.
But behind Yahiko, there are more than a dozen ninjas from the Akatsuki organization. Once he attacks, there is no guarantee that these ninjas will jump over the wall in a panic. He himself will be fine by then, but the rain ninjas behind him will definitely be killed or injured.
It would be fine if they were just ordinary rain ninjas, but these rain ninjas brought out this time were all elites. Losing any one of them would make him feel distressed.
Since there is a safer way, why do you have to fight with these Akatsuki organization ninjas?
So, after Hanzo hesitated for a moment, he stretched out his hand and held it with Yahiko's.
It wasn't until this moment that Yahiko's eyebrows showed a hint of joy.
Behind Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, as well as many ninjas in the Akatsuki organization, also relaxed their vigilance a little.
"Let's go back and discuss the detailed cooperation method with the internal members before finalizing it," Hanzo suggested.
Hearing this, although Yahiko wanted to finalize this matter now, he also knew that this was not a small matter after all and he could not make a hasty decision.
He nodded and said, "This is best."
Hanzo also nodded, waved to the rain ninja behind him, turned around and left directly.
He was not prepared at all whether Yahiko and others would launch a sneak attack from behind, because from the look in Yahiko's eyes just now, he could see that the other party was a young man with a useless sense of justice in his heart, and he would never do anything behind his back.
It's a sneak attack.
As he expected, Yahiko and others did not move until he was about to disappear at the edge of the basin.
Looking at Hanzo who was about to leave, Yahiko finally fully expressed the joy in his heart on his face.
He turned to Nagato and said: "Nagato, if the cooperation with Hanzo is really successful, then our first step is to quell the war in the Land of Rain. After that, it is time to spread our ideas throughout the world.
"
At this time, Yahiko seemed to be in high spirits.
"Um."
Nagato nodded heavily, his ideal was very simple, it became Yahiko's strength to help him achieve what he wanted.
Looking at these two teenagers, a smile appeared on Xiao Nan's face.
In fact, her ideal is simpler than Nagato's, which is to protect the two of them and become the last harbor for these two men.
However, just when they were expressing their ideals and lowering their inner vigilance to a minimum, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the soil next to them, and its target was Yahiko, the leader of the organization.
"careful!"
The speed of this black shadow was so fast that the only one who could react was Xiao Nan, who had the strongest perception among the people. She screamed in surprise.
Noticing that the target of this black shadow was Yahiko, Konan almost did not hesitate and appeared in front of him.
Yahiko and Nagato also reacted a little slowly at this moment.
However, their reaction was still a little late after all.
If they had been vigilant enough from the beginning, they might have been able to respond. Unfortunately, Hanzo's words and Hanzo's departure made a tight string in their hearts loosen.
Just as they thought that the opponent's target was Yahiko, the soul of the Akatsuki organization, even Yahiko himself put on a defensive posture.
However, he saw that the black shadow suddenly changed its target. Under Xiaonan's horrified eyes, he neatly grabbed Xiaonan's hands and subdued him.
At this time, Yahiko and Nagato realized that the opponent's target was not Yahiko from the beginning, but Yahiko as a target and instantly subdued Konan who came to rescue.
"Konan!" Seeing Konan being controlled, Yahiko and Nagato exclaimed. They didn't expect that their most important companion would be kidnapped in front of their eyes.
"Who are you?!"
Yahiko forced himself to calm down, and at the same time reached out to hold Nagato beside him, telling him not to act rashly.
The moment Xiaonan was subdued by the opponent, the two of them no longer had the ability to resist.
Looking at the cat-faced masks the other party wore, Yahiko and Nagato couldn't help but feel cold light bursting out of their eyes.
Toneri grabbed Xiaonan's hands, jumped up onto the rocks next to him, looked at the two of them coldly, and said nothing.
At the same time, after Toneri jumped onto the basin, a figure that had disappeared reappeared on the rocks high in the basin. It was Hanzo the Sanshouyu who pretended to leave to lower their vigilance.
Immediately afterwards, figures appeared one after another on the edge of the rocks above the basin, almost surrounding the entire basin.
Seeing the many ninjas appearing, Yahiko and Nagato instantly understood what was going on.
This was a trap set by Hanzo for them, and they foolishly jumped into it themselves.
Hanzo lowered his head and glanced contemptuously at Yahiko and Nagato, who were a little flustered and nervous, and then looked at Toneri who was standing directly opposite him over the basin holding Konan, and couldn't help but frown.
According to the plan, the only female member of the Akatsuki organization should be under his control, but for some unknown reason, this root ninja held the female Akatsuki organization member hostage and jumped to the rocks in the basin opposite him.
He didn't know whether this was Danzo's intention or the root member's own choice.
However, he obviously doesn't have much time to pay attention to this now. At least for now, Xiaonan is in their hands, which is enough.
"Hanzo!"
When things have evolved to this point, no matter how stupid you are, you should understand what is going on.
This time, he really led everyone in the Akatsuki organization into a crisis that they shouldn't have entered.
Yahiko's heart was full of bitterness.
Especially for Xiaonan, who was held hostage, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Why? Hanzo! Why is this?!"
Nagato clenched his fists and asked, he couldn't understand why the final thing turned out like this.
"Why? Instead of asking me why I did this, why don't you ask yourselves why you are so naive?
Peace? If such a thing exists, then why do we need ninjas?" Hanzo said with a sneer.
"Then what you promised us before! What you promised us! When you said you would bring the Kingdom of Rain to peace, were they all lies?" Yahiko couldn't help but roared.
"Haha - they are really a bunch of brats, with such innocent child-like thoughts.
What does it have to do with me whether the Kingdom of Rain is peaceful or not? If the territory of the Kingdom of Rain can be made larger and the resources more abundant through war, then why not provoke a war in the ninja world?" Hanzo's tone was still calm.
, but the voice is a little cold.
He used to be such a young man full of innocent ideals.
But the cruel reality sank and shattered his ideals time and time again, ravaging his ideals before throwing them to the ground and trampling on his feet.
Therefore, he simply does not believe in peace that can be obtained through words.
If peace can be achieved by just talking, then why do you need fists? Why does everyone still practice chakra?
The cold words blended into the icy rain, hitting Yahiko and Nagato, and also soaked into their hearts.
At this moment, their hands and feet were cold.
Hanzo sneered and took out a kunai from his ninja bag and threw it in front of the two of them, placing a colder choice in front of them.
"The existence of your Akatsuki organization is an obstacle to me, so if you don't want that girl to die, then as the leader, Yahiko, you must die here.
The red-haired one over there, use this to kill Yahiko.
Move quickly! As long as you kill him, I will let you and this girl live."
After hearing Hanzo's words, Nagato and Konan's eyes widened.
"No! No! No!" Xiaonan, who was restrained by Toneri, struggled wildly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
Seeing Nagato tremblingly pick up the kunai from the ground, Konan looked ashen as death.
Nagato's mind was filled with confusion at this time. Whether it was Yahiko or Konan, they were both people he swore to protect to the death. But now, with such a multiple-choice question before him, his heart was filled with torment.
Yahiko, on the other hand, felt very calm at this moment.
He looked at Hanzo, who had a mocking look on his face, then at Konan, whose face was ashen, and finally fixed his gaze on Nagato, who was stunned.
He suddenly smiled, and suddenly saw everything clearly.
It turns out that people without power are so pitiful.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you are wrong... Peace cannot be achieved in this way..." I said silently in my heart.
Immediately, his eyes became extremely firm.
"In the next life, I must become a god in this world! Xiaonan will be left to you...Nagato..."
Yahiko opened his legs and rushed towards Nagato, who was holding a kunai in a daze.
Bang!!
A figure flew out upside down.
Just when everyone thought Yahiko was going to kill himself by hitting Nagato's kunai, a man suddenly appeared between the two of them and kicked Yahiko away with a very cool flying kick.
At the same time, the man stretched out his hand to wrap around Nagato's neck, and in his other hand, he was still firmly holding a girl who was in a daze.
The person who appeared between Yahiko and Nagato, who stopped Yahiko from committing suicide, and who held Konan hostage, was undoubtedly Toneri wearing a cat-face mask.
As for how he managed to appear between the two of them so quickly...
The answer is of course only one, the art of Flying Thunder God!
In other words, a section of Flying Thunder God.
He had hidden himself in the basin a long time ago and left his Flying Thunder God technique in several key places so that he could appear in time to prevent something from happening.
He held Nagato's neck and kept kicking Hihiko. He just whispered in Nagato's ear:
"Remember this feeling? Remember this feeling of not being able to protect your companions because you have no power? You should understand that your power is actually more than that, and the potential of your eyes is more than that.
Inspire them and develop their potential, otherwise you and your companions will all perish here sooner or later, and only you have the power to protect them."
Toneri's words seemed to be filled with some kind of magic, causing Nagato's eyes to shine with a frightening look before he could react.
And the first target he locked on was naturally Toneri who was standing in front of him, at zero distance from him, and holding Konan hostage.
But regarding this scene, Toneri was no exception at all, and just said again, "Deal with them all, and we will talk again. As for her, I will protect her for you first."
After the words fell, Toner and Xiaonan disappeared again and appeared above the rocks in the basin where they were standing just now.
And while Toneri was doing these things, Hanzo and the people of Amegakure on the other side were stunned for a moment, and then watched with their own eyes as he kicked Yahiko away who was about to die, and stayed beside Nagato for a while.
After some time, leave again.
"Danzo, I think you need to give me a reasonable explanation." Hanzo asked Danzo behind him in a deep voice.
Seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, he was interrupted by this ninja at his core.
Moreover, the speed of this root ninja just now was too fast, even he did not see the opponent's movement trajectory.
Hanzo didn't believe that there were people in this world who were so fast that he couldn't see their movement clearly. As a "demigod", he still had this kind of confidence.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for the opponent's movement just now, and that is space ninjutsu!
Danzo listened to Hanzo's question, and his only exposed eye was half-closed at the moment. Of course, he also saw Toneri's actions just now.
Compared to Hanzo, he knew better what method Toneri used just now.
The Art of Flying Thunder God!
To be more precise, it should be a section of Flying Thunder God!
Although he has no space talent and cannot learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, he still understands the mechanism of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the various stages of the Flying Thunder God Technique very well.
After all, the person who developed this ninjutsu was his teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
"I didn't expect that this kid really has space talent. Although he is not as good as Namikaze Minato, he has become more difficult to deal with after learning this technique. It seems that this action is very necessary." Danzo thought.
This has been planned for a long time.
He said: "In that case, let's kill him together. I believe that with the strength of the 'demigod', he shouldn't be unable to deal with a few brats, right?"
Of course, Hanzo would not be fooled by Danzo's somewhat eccentric way of provoking generals.
However, he felt that Danzo was right in what he said, since using conspiracy and trickery failed, then use force to solve the problem.
Although this may cause losses to the rain ninjas, it is still within his tolerance.
"You are very calculating. Let me help you eliminate dissidents. I'm afraid you didn't want this person to come back alive from the beginning, right?" Hanzo sneered, he saw through Danzo's intention.
Danzo's expression remained unchanged, and he just said calmly: "Everyone gets what they need. From the beginning, we never talked about selfless dedication. I will help you deal with the Akatsuki organization, and you will help me deal with him."
In Danzo's view, Toneri is strong, but no matter how strong he is, he should not be a match for the "demigod" Hanzo who is still at his peak, and there are so many rain ninjas and root ninjas here.
He came today with the intention of killing Shiren.
If Toneri solves the Akatsuki organization as planned, then he will wait until the Akatsuki organization is dealt with before taking action against him. If he does not act according to common sense, then he will be suppressed with absolute force.
Even if he sees his intention, Danzo will not change his plan.
This mission was personally assigned by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, and Toneri had no chance to refuse.
He escaped at the critical moment, and Danzo could directly label him as a traitorous ninja.
If he refuses to obey his orders after the mission begins, he can deal with Toneri the same way he dealt with Hatake Sakumo. Even if he can't force him to commit suicide like Hatake Sakumo, he can still ruin his reputation.
Completely disqualified from competing for the position of Hokage.
No matter what he chooses, after this mission is over, the position of Hokage has nothing to do with him.
This is why when Danzo found Sarutobi Hiruzen, he insisted on saruto participating in this mission.
Toneri didn't understand Danzo's plan at the beginning, and even after meeting Hanzo, he didn't immediately understand it.
Until he appeared here and Danzo asked him to capture Konan as a hostage, he suddenly figured it out.
Now that he understands it, of course Natosha can't sit still and wait for death. Although he is not afraid of Hanzo, he just has a better way.
No matter how good Danzo's calculation was, he neglected something that should have been valued by him.
Samsara Eye!
Hanzo looked at Yahiko, who had just reacted and ran to Nagato's side after being kicked away by Toneri, and Nagato, who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.
He snorted coldly.
"Do it!"
After the words fell, the rain ninjas standing around the basin took out their kunai and threw them towards the members of the Akatsuki organization in the basin.
A small part of the kunai targets ordinary members of the Akatsuki organization, while most of the targets fall on Yahiko and Nagato who are standing together.
Yahiko's expression changed after noticing this scene. He wanted to pull Nagato away but found that it was too late. He could only grit his teeth and open his hands, facing Nagato, using his body to block the kunai.
Facing death again, Yahiko felt much calmer in his heart. A smile appeared on his face and he whispered to Nagato: "Nagato, if you and Konan live well, you are the savior of this world!"
The moment Yahiko finished speaking, Nagato, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were full of determination.
"You! I will protect you!"
Raising his right hand, the five fingers spread out and passed through Yahiko's covered body.
At this moment, he finally faced his own abilities and accepted the ability of the Samsara Eye.
