Land of Rain's current situation has also been experienced by Konoha.
After Second Hokage died that year, a lot of problems were left behind, the most difficult of which was the problem of the top leader.
Although Second Hokage had designated a successor, before leaving, he held Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand and said: I can rest assured that you will do the work.
This kind of thing that is almost a "death" has not been consistently recognized by Konoha.
After all, death is like a light going out, and Konoha Hidden Village is not Second Hokage's one word after all.
Not to mention the competing Uchiha Clan, even the Senju Clan has quite a few complaints. They are even more looking forward to seeing a Senju Third Hokage.
Sarutobi Clan is not small, but compared with top families like Uchiha Clan and Senju, it is far behind. At that time, Konoha was able to stabilize this group of families, and there were more than a few families.
In the Warring States Period era, you were just a low-ranking family, but now how can you hold the supreme power of Konoha?
Therefore, there was a moment of commotion in the village, and the major forces openly competed for the position of Hokage, but instead ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen, the legal heir with a well-established background.
At that time, it was the First Great Ninja War period, and everyone in the village was fighting for power. Naturally, they suffered successive defeats on the battlefield.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Uzumaki Mito walked out of her small yard.
As soon as she appeared, all sounds disappeared.
Mito's background is really huge. First Hokage's wife, First Hokage Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is the princess married by the Uzumaki Clan.
It doesn't matter that she has a great background, but her key strength is tyrannical. Rumor has it that even God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama is afraid of her. Wherever she goes, Uchiha Madara is even more shy and will never appear on the same channel as this woman.
At that time, someone once proposed that Uzumaki Mito should temporarily serve as Third Hokage. She was strong and qualified. Both Senju Clan and other families were convinced. Even Uchiha Clan only dared to whisper.
But Uzumaki Mito refused. Instead, she chose to believe in Second's vision.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed up to date, or in other words, the six disciples of Second Hokage are all very up to date. The six of them have made great achievements in battle at the age of more than 20 years old.
Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen reached the top in one fell swoop.
But Hidden Rain Village is not so lucky.
Without Hanzō here, this country would be in chaos now.
Whether Land of Rain is stable or not has nothing to do with Konoha, but it cannot be messed up now.
Are wild bees with a queen more harmful, or wild bees with a dead queen?
Of course it's the latter.
You must know that with the restraint of the queen bee, even wild bees can maintain order. However, once the queen bee dies and the swarm loses control, it will form small groups, build nests everywhere, and attack others.
Hanzō is the leader of Land of Rain. As long as he is in Hidden Rain Village, Konoha can control this country by controlling Hanzō.
Without Hanzō, the major powers would compete and fight with each other, and it would be impossible to guarantee the implementation of Konoha's next strategy.
After listening to Chen's words, Hanzō looked a little ugly.
He didn't expect that Land of Rain would turn out like this.
"So, after you have said so much, what do you want me to do?"
Konoha is not killing him now. Commander Chen also comes to talk to him every now and then, so naturally he is not idle.
"It's very simple, form an alliance with Konoha." Chen paused and continued, "Our troops will use Land of Rain to enter other countries. Hidden Rain Village must make every effort to ensure the safety of the Konoha transportation line."
Hanzō's eyes flickered, and he shook his head after a while. "This is impossible, and I have already formed alliances with other countries."
"Nothing is impossible. Even if you form an alliance, you can betray again. Look, Hidden Sand Village has already formed an alliance with us many times. Isn't it a daily betrayal?"
"..."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Konoha will naturally not keep a worthless person. We will ask Yamanaka Clan's ninjas to come and see what secrets are in your head, Hanzō.
Of course, there's a good chance you'll cause brain damage, and then you'll be a fool.
Think about it, Demigod becoming a fool and tearing up newspapers is probably your daily routine for the rest of your life. "
Hanzō stared into Chen's eyes and said, "You won't be willing to do this to me. If something happens to me, Land of Rain will be in chaos, and no one will guarantee your transportation line."
Chen nodded, then sighed.
"Yeah, so I have a headache too, but since you won't cooperate, we have no choice but to support an agent again and make him the leader of Hidden Rain Village."
"Such a plan cannot be completed in a short time. Does Konoha have the time?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Isn't that what war is like? Everything can't go as planned. Although it takes some time, no one can stop Konoha."
Chen smiled and continued, "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Sand Village have already started to dispatch ninjas.
We are not afraid to tell you that if Land of Rain is unstable, we will not easily enter Land of Earth and Land of Wind.
Therefore, the battlefield is likely to be set at Land of Rain again, just like Second Great Ninja War. This is not what you want to see, right, Mr. Hanzō? "
Hanzō did not speak, but frowned. He did so much now just to make this country a little better. If it becomes a battlefield for the three major countries, there will inevitably be countless casualties.
Seeing that Hanzō was a little moved, Chen struck while the iron was hot. "Time waits for no one. Only if you and Konoha form an alliance and fully support Konoha can we ensure that this war will not affect Land of Rain."
Hanzō said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it again?"
Chen smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid, so I'm going to aggrieve you. We will mark you with Curse Mark. After the war, we will naturally remove it for you."
"This is impossible!" Hanzō said flatly.
Curse Mark There are many types of things like this. The more common ones can bind the person being casted, and the more powerful ones can control a person's life and death.
Shinobi World The most famous Curse Mark is Caged Bird Seal.
What Chen is talking about is naturally the Curse Mark that can control life and death.
Chen stared into Hanzō's eyes and said in a serious tone, "I've already said, nothing is impossible. Your life or death now has been decided by Konoha.
And even without Curse Mark, don't you think it would be safer? "
"You know, if I can catch you the first time, I can catch you a second time.
We have taught hands, and I think you have realized the difference.
This is not all my strength. If you betray the agreement, you will still die even if you hide in Hidden Rain Village. You don't think Hidden Rain Village has stronger defense than Hidden Mist Village, do you? "
So, what does it matter whether there is Curse Mark or not? "
Hanzō was silent.
A simple multiple-choice question.
If he is marked Curse Mark, he must obey the instructions of Konoha, but if he is not marked, he will die now.
He is Demigod, so naturally he cannot bear such humiliation.
But he is not afraid of death, but if the battlefield is put on Land of Rain again, this country may really be in doom.
"How can I trust you to keep your promise?" Hanzō asked.
"Third Hokage-sama's reputation is the best promise. He has never gone back on his promise. There is no need to lie to you about this kind of thing."
Hanzō closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen waited for a while and saw that he made no move, then stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Hanzō spoke.
"I can agree, but I have to see Third Hokage."
Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
