Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 57 The Situation in the Country of Rain

Listening to Hanzo's words quietly, Zangyu didn't interrupt. In Zangyu's heart, it was rare for Hanzo-sama to show such a side to him. Although Xin Yu was actually captured, with such a fierce battle between the two villages, the possibility of exchanging prisoners was slim. If Xin Yu was captured in Konoha, not to mention how much information had been leaked, it was hard to say whether he would survive. .

For all rain ninjas, unless they surrender voluntarily, being captured alive can already be considered death. Therefore, there is nothing inherently wrong with Bai Taki killing Xin Yu.

"I usually appreciate talented young people." Hanzo took a breath, and his tone became colder. "But for Shirataki, I want to kill him on the spot."

"It's not just because of Xin Yu's hatred, the more important reason is that his strength is on par with mine." Hanzo paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Zang Yu behind him, "Zang Yu, you know what this means. What are you wearing?"

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment. What does it mean? Zangyu took a deep breath. He knew very well what this meant. Because of this, Zangyu didn't know what to say.

Hanzo saw that Zangyu seemed to be distracted, but he was not angry at all, and then said to himself, "This means that in the next few years, ten years, or even decades, as long as the young man named Uzumaki Shirataki is still alive, we These smaller countries have fewer opportunities.”

"This means that the Rain Hidden Village will have no resistance in front of Konoha in the future, and the Country of Rain will become the back garden for Konoha ninjas to play wantonly." Hanzo's tone has always maintained the same tone as Furui, as if what he said The matter had nothing to do with him, but Zangyu, who knew Hanzo better, was keenly aware of the boiling murderous intention in the former's heart.

Zangsame knew that he had to speak. Although his voice was already a little hoarse, he still said confidently, "In addition to the Third Hokage and Hatake Sakumo, Konoha just has one more master. I think, Hanzo-sama, you No need to worry at all.”

Seeing that Hanzo was noncommittal about this, Zouyu adjusted his mentality and added, "Konoha's strength has become stronger, which is something that no ninja village wants to see. I think we only need to reveal Shirataki's information to Iwagakure, and they should be willing to do so." Make a truce with us, or even join forces to attack Konoha together." Zangyu thinks that this kind of thing is acceptable when his own strength is insufficient and he can make reasonable use of external forces.

Even if we were enemies one moment, under the common threat, it is not impossible for us to shake hands and make peace the next moment, or even fight side by side. After all, there is no eternal hatred between countries, and the same is true between villages. As long as the interests are great enough or the external threat reaches a certain level, it is not inconceivable that mortal enemies will become allies.

This is the case when Amegakure breaks the convention and joins forces with Sunagakure, and the same is true when he prepares to join forces with Iwagakure. No visionary leader will turn a blind eye to the emergence of a being like Shirataki. Konoha's strength has been too expanded and has completely destroyed the balance of this war game. Zangyu believes that the second-generation Tsuchikage Two-Day Scale Onoki will make the right choice for this.

Hanzo pondered for a while and analyzed, "Because of the border issue, Iwagakure is still too wary of us Amagakure. They will not stop until we are weakened to a certain extent. Moreover," Hanzo tapped his finger on the table lightly. The tone was full of affirmation, "If what I expected is correct, half of Iwagakure's main force is guarding against Kumogakure, and the other half is fighting Kirigakure. They have not invested much force in our country of rain. Even if Iwagakure joins forces with us, it is estimated that Can’t provide much help.”

Although Zangyu didn't want to accept this result, he also knew that what Hanzo said was the truth. But even so, Zangyu still feels the need to contact Iwagakure. "Master Hanzo, please forgive me, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us Yugakure. In any case, we must increase the number of allies, even if it is for It’s acceptable to pay a certain price.”

At the very least, we must first make a truce with Iwagakure and recover part of the defense force as soon as possible to deal with Konoha's subsequent counterattack... Zangame quickly thought about Amegakure's defensive deployment. After the emergence of Shirataki, Konoha will make up for its disadvantage in top-level combat power, and will definitely turn from defense to offense in the future. This is foreseeable.

Hanzo was also tapping on the table, weighing the feasibility of Zouyu's proposal. Since the start of the Ninja War, although Amegakure is one against three, the three major Ninja villages have no intention of uniting. They are full of defenses against each other, and they are fighting openly and secretly with each other in private. Hanzo is very aware of the virtues of these great ninja villages. When Amegakure rises and poses a threat to them, they will tacitly go to war against Amegakure and temporarily suppress their conflicts.

But if one of them poses a greater threat, the contradiction cannot be concealed. At that time, it will be normal to unite with the enemy, betray one's trust, or even start an undeclared war. Konoha's strength was already extremely strong, and now a top expert like Shirataki suddenly appeared. Hanzo was worried about this, but he believed there must be someone more worried than him. For example, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are both members of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

No matter how developed the Rain Kingdom is, no matter how powerful the Hidden Rain Village is, limited by land area, population resources, and strategic weapons like tailed beasts, the Rain Kingdom can only reach that level at best. The five major ninja villages may become fearful, and may start a war to weaken the power of the rain ninjas, but they will never destroy the country of rain.

Hanzo knew that whether it was the daimyo of the big country or the Kages, their positioning of the Rain Country was actually very clear, that is, it was a strategic buffer zone. After all, no ninja village wanted the war to come to their own country. The Country of Rain has high mountains and dense forests, and is deep enough to serve as a strategic buffer. In this case, in the Land of Rain, the Rain Ninja can exist, but they must not go beyond their control, nor can they seek refuge in any Great Ninja Village, otherwise they will be beaten.

On the surface, the Rain Ninja is at war with the major Ninja Villages, and several parties are hostile. In fact, looking at a deeper level, the Rain Ninja has been maintaining neutrality, which is what the major Ninja Villages want to see. The Kingdom of Rain can only be neutral and must be neutral. This is a necessary condition to maintain balance.

Although the rain ninja fought fiercely with other ninja villages, everyone retained the due restraint. Hanzo would find out the identity of the enemy every time he made a move to avoid killing important figures in the great ninja village and increase the intensity of the war again. Correspondingly, the major ninja villages will basically not use any crooked ideas on the important figures of the rain ninja to avoid irritating Hanzo.

War can be fought, but it must be kept within a certain limit as long as the soldiers fight to the death. If it really breaks down completely, no one wants to see it. Of course, things were supposed to be like this until the Shenyingqiu incident happened. Konoha suddenly broke this tacit understanding and attacked the two countries' missions with an unprecedented toughness. Not only did they madly slaughter all the Amegakure present, but they also arrogantly captured Amegakure's absolute top leader, Xin Yu.

This is not only a slap in the face to Amegakure, but also illustrates Konoha's attitude towards this war. Hanzo felt this change, so he decisively gave up his neutrality and completely turned to Sunagakure's side. When Hiruzen Sarutobi approached Danzo to deal with this problem, he might have anticipated such a day.

Konoha not only broke the tacit understanding, but also broke the balance. Shirataki's sudden appearance also made the senior officials of other ninja villages have a chill in their throats. According to the intelligence, it can be seen that Shirataki is a dangerous ninja, a ninja who can kill a strong man like Xin Yu instantly if he is not careful.

Hanzo believed that in addition to revealing information about Shirataki to him, Sunagakure would also spare no effort to publicize the horrors of Shirataki on other occasions to make other ninja villages fear Konoha. Sunagakure is such a ninja village, and attacking the Kingdom of Rain is only superficial. Due to the influence of the land and environment, people from the Kingdom of Wind are obviously more interested in the Kingdom of Fire than the Kingdom of Rain.

For Sunagakure Village, Konoha's threat theory attracts their attention more than Amegakure's threat theory, and the Shenyingqiu Conference was held for this purpose. Hanzo was originally unwilling to join forces with Sunagakure, but Shirataki stepped in to add fuel to the fire, and then reluctantly agreed to Sunagakure's conditions. Now that Hanzo has seen Shirataki's strength with his own eyes, he has nothing to say.

Hanzo suddenly thought of Sunagakure's Konoha threat theory. Perhaps, Konoha could be used as a target to lure these great ninja village dogs to bite the dogs. He was silently making calculations in his mind. He wanted to divert the attention of the three great ninja villages as soon as possible and end their war against the Land of Rain. We must try our best to preserve Yu Yin's vitality, all for the sake of the Kingdom of Rain.

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 Amegakure becomes weaker and less conspicuous, the war between Konoha, Sunagakure and Iwagakure will naturally break out. What Hanzo needs to do is to trigger this war 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 Shirataki's existence and what he did at Shenyingqiu gave Hanzo this opportunity.

Naturally, Hanzo would not know the reason why Shirataki took action in the first place. In his view, Shirataki's reckless action completely demonstrated Konoha's attitude of breaking the balance. The moment Shirataki started killing crazily, he already represented more than just It's him.

"Zang Yu, the Iwagakure spy in the village 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 remembrances should be temporarily put aside. He knew that now was not the time to rest.

Zangyu nodded and said in a deep voice: "They are all under our surveillance, and those people didn't notice anything."

Hanzo's eyes flashed with cold light, "Okay, I will tell you the detailed information about Shirataki in a moment. You have to spread the information about Shirataki 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 Shirataki." In order to dispel Onoki's suspicion, Hanzo was not prepared to contact the Iwa ninja directly, but first arranged for him through Iwagakure Village. Spies in the Hidden Rain Village conduct misdirection.

A flash of hesitation flashed across Zangyu's face, but he still accepted the order decisively, "Yes, Master 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 withdraw 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!”

"Master Hanzo, is it necessary to do this? Those strongholds were established with great difficulty by us. Every time we give up one of them, we are cutting flesh from our Kingdom of Rain!" Zangyu couldn't sit still this time.
