Chapter 132
She suddenly heard some noise.
It sounds like... a cry of pain.
It also sounds like someone is crying.
As Yakushi Nonō listened intently to find the exact direction, the sound suddenly stopped.
Then, everything fell silent...
Just as Nonō was about to shift her focus...
A figure suddenly appeared behind her. "Aren't you asleep yet, so late?"
"!"
Yakushi Nonō suddenly turned around, startled.
Amakawa Akito... appeared here silently.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a ghost.
"Uh-huh..."
Yakushi Nonō immediately straightened her clothes and touched her hair.
"Lord Akito, the Ninja World War is about to end, and we, Amegakure..."
"Do you think it should end?" the Akito asked rhetorically.
"Huh?"
Yakushi Nonō stared blankly at the 14-year-old boy who was the same height as her but much younger.
The Konoha High Command secretly dispatched their own people to gather intelligence.
On the surface, they sent two diplomats to Amegakure to sign a ceasefire agreement and end the Shinobi World War.
"It's getting late, go to sleep. The construction of the medical center depends entirely on you."
Akito didn't wait for Nonō's reply, but instead offered his advice directly.
"Yes..."
Yakushi Nonō bowed slightly, then turned and left, returning to her room with unresolved questions...
68. Diplomacy arrives, a ceasefire agreement?
Over the next two days.
The Akito dynasty sent people out to collect information on materials that could shield one's senses.
Holding 500 million in hand, I'm not flustered at all.
Yakushi Nonō followed the steps methodically, setting up the medical facilities little by little.
The "medical clinic" requested by the Akito was gradually improved and constructed.
During this time, Guren helped out a little by purchasing some other necessary materials.
The "medical clinic" is being established in a well-organized manner.
Night fell.
Yakushi Nonō then secretly relayed the information back to Konoha.
However, due to the misleading information from Akito, coupled with the single task assignment, the problem persisted.
Yakushi Nonō was completely confined to a certain area.
Therefore, Konoha only received information that offered no real benefit.
At most, one might speculate that Hanzō might still be alive.
The Akito at this time.
We arrived at the top of the rebuilt central tower in Amegakure.
Hanzō was secretly placed here.
Looking at Hanzō lying on the hospital bed, everyone remained silent.
Because civil officials and other personnel from the Land of Rain were transferred to Amegakure to assist in governance, Asuka, having some free time, would come to visit Hanzō every day.
Shinnō, along with many medical-nin from Amegakure, used every conventional medical method imaginable.
Hanzō remains in a vegetative state.
Since his last awakening and entrusting Amegakure to Akito, he has shown no signs of waking up again.
The Asuka could do nothing but silently watch and wait.
"Miss Asuka, Lord Akito..."
She walked in from outside.
"Diplomats from Konoha and Sunagakure have arrived at the entrance to our village. Should we let them through...?"
He was Hanzō's loyal subordinate.
Wearing a protective suit, she guarded Hanzō.
Hanzō was severely injured at the time, and it was he who carried Hanzō back.
Later, when Amegakure fell into enemy hands, it was he who led Hanzō out of the village...
Upon hearing the call to counterattack, he led his men back without hesitation.
Hanzō's grief and anger were no less than Asuka's.
"..."
Akito stared at the unconscious Hanzō, then slowly turned to look at the crowd. "Everyone, what do you say... should the Ninja World War end?"
Outside.
Amidst the storm and turmoil.
Shinku Yuhi, Shikaku Nara.
He stood side by side with two Sunagakure diplomats.
At the entrance to Amegakure, guards stood with sharp blades in hand, their faces filled with hostility.
They stared intently at the four men, if not for their status as diplomats.
They had already cut them down.
Certainly.
The names of Shikaku Nara and Shinku Yuhi were also a reason why the guards were somewhat more rational.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
Shikaku Nara gestured with his eyes.
Don't act impulsively.
And stop putting on airs like a great power.
Otherwise, it will definitely provoke them and hinder the implementation of the plan.
Even so...
Shinku Yuhi spoke slowly.
"But leaving us here like this is a bit too disrespectful."
Because I'm approaching 50 years old.
Shinku Yuhi was a ninja born during the time of the First Hokage.
Although he was still young at the time, he received a rigid education from the old era.
Therefore, various etiquettes are taken very seriously.
It has a... Showa era feel to it.
They felt somewhat indignant at the rudeness of Amegakure.
A person with high intelligence and emotional intelligence who is proficient in Genjutsu and can see through things and people's feelings does not mean they are without a temper.
"What? You're not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, then get out of here!"
Upon seeing Shinku Yuhi's sour face, the guards immediately reprimanded her.
The grudges between Amegakure and Konoha and Sunagakure run too deep.
A mere reprimand is considered lenient.
"Alright, shut up!"
The officer in charge of the guards immediately gave the order.
While the lower-ranking soldiers may have their own thoughts, the thoughts of the higher-ups are the most important.
If it's because of inappropriate remarks.
If the village suffers losses, then only you will be harmed.
Then.
The guards reluctantly shut their mouths, but continued to glare at Shinku Yuhi.
"Snort..."
Shinku Yuhi, receiving this treatment, twitched her little finger slightly.
Shikaku Nara late to stop it.
The group of guards were instantly caught in the Genjutsu.
Before anyone could react.
Shinku Yuhi, the number one Genjutsu ninja in Konoha, unleashed his prized Genjutsu abilities.
In terms of skill in Genjutsu.
Shinku Yuhi even believed that she could look down on the Sannin, Orochimaru, and others.
This is his pride.
It was also a matter of pride, risking one's reputation.
The group of guards, under the Genjutsu, instantly struck all sorts of comical poses, looking utterly ridiculous.
The farce at the entrance.
It lasted for a few seconds.
"Diplomats from Konoha and Sunagakure, please come in."
Yamada walked to the door, glanced at his frozen companions, and his eyes held an unreadable expression.
The watchtower Amegakure.
Meeting room.
The composition of the people who came here today is quite interesting.
The Asuka sat in the main seat.
The Akito was on the sidelines.
Behind Guren stood Pakura, who had been training diligently.
She glared angrily at the Sunagakure diplomats.
The two Sunagakure ninjas looked at Pakura with concern, and at Asuka and Akito with anger.
Because of the accounts given by Rasa and the elders of Sunagakure.
The rumor that "Pakura was controlled by the enemy using Genjutsu" has spread throughout the entire Sunagakure.
