Hanzō slowly walked down the roof and changed out of his wet clothes.
As the leader of Hidden Rain Village, he naturally has people to serve him in daily life. But as he grew older, Hanzō lost not only his ambition, but also his fearlessness.
To put it bluntly, he is afraid of death and being assassinated by others using inferior means, so he rarely allows others to serve him.
As the leader of Hidden Rain Village, there are countless ninjas who want to kill Hanzō.
Here, there are Rogue Ninja of Hidden Rain Village, assassinations of other Five Great Nations, and even bounty hunters.
As long as he dies, Land of Rain will fall back into chaos.
When he was young, Hanzō was fearless, thinking that with the knife and the Salamander in his hand, he could run rampant in Shinobi World.
Therefore, he ignored any assassination and even used it to hone his strength.
When he meets an experienced ninja, he will give him some pointers, hoping that the person will challenge him again in the future.
This is not only arrogance, but also confidence in one's own strength.
But as he got older, he began to cherish his life. He was not as aggressive as when he was young. He usually lived in seclusion and was surrounded by dense defenses.
But even so, the amount of his bounty on Black Market has remained high over the years.
There were many good ninjas who assassinated him. The one that impressed him most was Hidden Waterfall Village Rogue Ninja named Kakuzu.
That man has a strange appearance, high strength, and Ninjutsu weirdness.
To describe it in Kakuzu's own words: I have fought against the god of Shinobi World, and even cherished each other. What does your mere "Demigod" mean?
There was a lot of disdain in his words, and then... three hearts were destroyed by Hanzō.
Now that I think about it, Hanzō still has lingering fears. That guy almost succeeded in a sneak attack by pretending to die.
Since then, Hanzō has become more cautious, after all, he does not have three hearts to waste away.
In a huge room in the attic of the Amegakure center, Hanzō, who had changed his clothes, was kneeling on the tatami.
At this time, a Ame Shinobi knelt down in front of the closed door and said in a respectful voice.
"Master Hanzō, the envoys from the three villages have been waiting for a long time."
"Well, let them do it."
Inside the house, a slightly aged but majestic voice came. After hearing the words, the Ame Shinobi immediately retreated and disappeared.
After a while, the door to the room was opened, and three figures walked in.
"Your Excellency Hanzō is really a busy man. He kept the three of us waiting." A middle-aged Jonin with thinning hair said with a smile.
Suzuki, as the envoy of Hidden Sand Village, was sent by Ōnoki this time to take on the important task of contacting Hanzō.
However, he still has some self-cultivation. Although he is impatient, he has not shown it directly. But the short ninja next to him was not so patient.
The man pulled the yellow scarf on his head and asked, "Hanzō, are you avoiding us on purpose?!"
Tsuchiya lives in the dry environment of Hidden Sand Village all year round, and is extremely uncomfortable with the humid Land of Rain.
As he said that, he pulled the turban again, and he always felt like water could be squeezed out of it. If he stays here any longer, he will probably be as bald as Suzuki.
Hanzō showed a helpless expression. "Of course I won't hide from you, but I just dealt with a wave of rebellion. Land of Rain is no more peaceful than Five Great Nations. I have kept our guests waiting for a long time."
Hanzō opened his mouth and started pretending to be miserable. It seemed that he was not the one enjoying the heavy rain on the roof just now.
But now that they have suffered a misfortune, it is difficult for the three of them to pursue the matter further. The unswerving expressions they had just now have also slowed down a little.
"I wonder, Your Excellency Hanzō, when will the war begin?" A strong man with bronze skin got right to the point.
This skin color is obviously from Hidden Cloud Village.
After he finished speaking, several other people also stared at Hanzō. Their main mission this time is to urge Hanzō to send troops.
"We have already started a war." Hanzō pretended to be surprised.
"If sending a few squads to harass can be considered a war, then we, Sunagakure and Konoha, haven't been fighting for thirty-six years?"
Hidden Sand Village has a history of thirty-six years. Since its establishment, there have been constant frictions between ninjas. Tsuchiya is mocking Hanzō for sending too few troops.
"The first batch of the promised supplies has been shipped to Hidden Rain Village. We hope that Mr. Hanzō can keep his promise, otherwise it will not be as simple as interrupting the supply of supplies."
Hidden Cloud Village's strong man Nakamura began to threaten.
The agreement signed between Hanzō and the three major countries stipulates that each village will support a batch of supplies to Land of Rain.
This is an ongoing five-year plan. After the war, some of the supplies in Land of Fire will also be distributed to Land of Rain.
The five-year plan is a joke to Hanzō.
The war has lasted for almost two years. Judging from the experience of the previous two wars, this war cannot last another five years.
After the war, how could the three countries continue to implement the aid plan? Shinobi World The most unreliable thing is the promise.
Land of Fire's supplies... If Konoha wins, this promise is also a joke; if Konoha is defeated, the three major countries will not share the victory results with Land of Rain.
Even... it is very possible to divide all the rights and interests of Konoha in Land of Rain.
Even so, Hanzō must agree to this agreement, because Land of Rain really needs the assistance of the three major countries.
If you can't get it for five years, it would be great if you can get it for three years. It's better than getting nothing.
Of course, in exchange for this, Hanzō must send troops to fight Konoha.
Ōnoki wants Hanzō to lead his troops directly into Land of Grass, and attack Konoha together with Hidden Stone Village.
But Hidden Sand Village disagrees.
We are already short of supplies, but Daimyo is always holding us back, and has to give some of it to Land of Rain, not for Hidden Stone Village to make wedding clothes.
Third Kazekage directly suggested that Hanzō lead the troops to cut into Land of Wind and double-team Orochimaru.
The two villages quarreled over this.
After a round of discussions, the final decision was for Land of Rain to disperse its forces and attack Konoha's long supply line.
Cloud It doesn't matter which solution.
Land of Hot Water's battlefield is too far away, Hanzō can't support it even if it wants to, and Third Raikage also likes Land of Rain's strength.
They can defeat Konoha in a single village!
But the problem is that now that Hidden Mist Village has surrendered, Konoha's troops on the battlefield of Land of Water have been completely liberated.
Based on the distance between Land of Waves and Land of Hot Water, Konoha will definitely choose the principle of proximity.
Thousands of ninjas, plus Konoha Lightning and White Fang, the pressure on Land of Hot Water increased more than a hundred times.
Therefore, Third Raikage must find a force to replace Hidden Mist Village and resume its role of containment.
Therefore, he also took aim at the strongest Land of Rain besides Five Great Nations.
"As far as I know, Konoha Lightning and White Fang have arrived at the hinterland of Land of Fire and will soon approach Land of Rain." Nakamura said.
What he meant was that the money had arrived and it was time for Hanzō to work.
Hidden Cloud Village is now worried that Hanzō will take the money and do nothing, and then turn around and surrender directly to Konoha.
Selling teammates like this is not something Third Raikage can bear.
Hanzō nodded.
The reason why he was delaying was to wait for the supplies to arrive. Now that the supplies had arrived, troops would definitely be sent.
Hanzō If you don't agree, you will have completely offended the three major rogue countries.
So, after pondering for a moment, he glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice.
"As you wish!"
