Konoha.
Hokage Office Building.
"Hiruzen, what does Hanzo mean?"
"He came alone?"
Danzo frowned, holding the special Intelligence Receiving Ninja Tool, and said in a deep voice, "I think it's a scam!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette and asked:
"When did the village discover Hanzo's whereabouts? Are you sure he is just a person?"
Danzo was startled, Hiruzen Why do you care about this...
But since Hiruzen asked, he answered honestly and professionally first:
"Seventeen kilometers into Land of Fire territory, Iburi Clan tribesmen reported that their Mist Transformation Technique was very effective in hiding in the forest. They have made new achievements recently..."
"After reporting it, Patrol Force quickly further verified and confirmed that it is Hanzo."
"Anbu's mobile team and Root carried out a raid on him. No ninjas supporting him were found behind Hanzo, on both wings, and in the direction of Amegakure..."
Now Konoha's defense circle is steadily expanding step by step.
First, there are Konoha Reserve Force stationed outside, that is, the Iburi Clan family and Tsuchigumo Clan.
Ninja Clan, which was later joined by Konoha, is now managed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and is managed by Kakuzu.
Under the guidance of veteran Kakuzu, these two tribes, which were originally considered "stragglers," became more regular...
For some bounty hunters and wandering ninjas who sneaked into Konoha, they were discovered very timely.
This is also the result of Kakuzu"Reverse Cultivation Insights'...
After all, who can understand the truth behind this better than him?
With the economic development of Konoha, there are more and more "fully funded by the village" positions such as Anbu and Root, who work full-time for the village. They no longer take orders frequently, but may take on one or two low-level tasks during vacations, so they can relax.
This is naturally good for combat effectiveness and professionalism.
We didn't do this in the past just because the cost of ninjas was too high and Konoha couldn't afford to support so many people...
However, this also leads to a small problem.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi became "General of the State', Land of Fire's Nobles and Ninja have entered a rare honeymoon period. The amount of tasks and remuneration have increased a lot...
But the task could not be taken over, because although Childbirth Subsidy was implemented, the increase in the effective population would take time to reflect. After listening to Danzo's explanation, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
He was quite satisfied.
The village spends so much money on construction and spending, and it always needs to see some improvements...
As a violent military group, having guarantees is not just to support lazy people, otherwise it will be in vain.
"Is this new Ninja Tool easy to use?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at Danzo's waist, where something similar to a walkie-talkie was pinned.
This is Ninja Tool developed for the Yamanaka Clan by Orochimaru, Hiruko and others based on the increasing communication needs of the village.
With Chakra Metal as the core component, supplemented by Sealing Jutsu type.
It can accurately convey information in extremely harsh environments and under the interference of Chakra. Compared with the traditional formation of the Yamanaka Clan, its range has also been strengthened a lot...
"Hmph..." Danzo snorted coldly. He knew that this was one of the projects led by Orochimaru.
"It's not bad. If you spend so much money, even a mediocre person can make some achievements!" Danzo first sneered, then said reluctantly:
"With this thing, after equipping the corresponding Jonin and Squad Captain, the information transmission will indeed be faster."
"But Hiruzen, you still have to pay attention! I'm not targeting Orochimaru..."
"Although he is your apprentice, he has always been dirty when it comes to funds. This was the case when old Root was here. You can't trust him too much!"
Danzo still couldn't help but take eye drops.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said oh, "Okay, I will pay attention..."
There is no need to refute Danzo, just listen to Ichiraku on this matter.
Compared with scientific research funds, Orochimaru can proactively inform himself of the overly sensitive Forbidden Technique like "Living Corpse Reincarnation", which has proved the sublimation and solidity of the master-disciple bond.
Even if we put aside the fetters, Scientific Research Department's staff arrangement alone is enough to make Hiruzen Sarutobi feel at ease.
There are checks and balances between Tsunade, Hiruko and Orochimaru.
Recently Hiruzen Sarutobi learned about it again.
His Teacher Tobirama ran to join Hashirama Cells Research Group, Scientific Research Department came and a young man came...
Then there is no need to worry.
First Darkness of the Shinobi is no joke!
"By the way, how is Aosui lately..." Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a smile:
"You two are getting along reasonably well?"
As soon as Aosui was mentioned, Danzo's face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart unconsciously.
The purity of this smile made even Hiruzen Sarutobi stunned.
Danzo Can this guy Jingran also smile so brightly that it makes people feel sunny?
"Hiruzen, I'm not bragging..."
Danzo said with a hint of pride, "My disciple Aosui has the appearance of Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement.
There is indeed nothing wrong with that.
I can't spray it, this one really looks like Hokage...
"You think so too, Hiruzen?" Danzo laughed.
His old brother's recognition of his apprentice actually made Danzo feel happier than the recognition of himself.
After all, this is the direct descendant of Teacher Tobirama...
After discovering this, Danzo himself was quite surprised.
When looking at the photo of First Darkness of the Shinobi every day, Danzo was thinking unconsciously.
Why is he pursuing Hokage position?
"Of course, Aosui is excellent in every aspect, you and I both know this."
"But don't put too much pressure on Aosui, he is still a teenager after all." Hiruzen Sarutobi emphasized.
No matter how you say it, Tobirama is kind to him, otherwise he himself would not be alive until now.
When the teacher is summoned from Pure Land to help him work, he should not be overly exploited.
It still needs to be humane...
Of course, if Tobirama can't sit still and wants to take the initiative to do things for the village, that's another matter...
"Also, regarding Aosui's personal affairs, even if you are his master, please do not get too involved..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said tactfully, "I know you want to get closer to Isshin and Uchiha, but there is no need to make such forward moves in such a hurry."
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has many things to do every day, he is still relatively concerned about Tobirama.
Through Hizashi and other channels, he learned about the blind date between Danzo and Isshin for Tobirama...
Hearing that Tobirama was looking for a Uchiha Clan woman, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost lost his composure.
Is this right!
Hiruzen Sarutobi is not saying that Tobirama should not be allowed to live a new life and have new experiences.
But Lord Hokage knew that there was something wrong with his mentor's character.
While chatting with Mito, Hiruzen Sarutobi also heard a lot of Tobirama's blind date jokes, which made him laugh very happily...
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's opinion, Tobirama should just find someone who can live at home...
But as for who to find in the end, that is the teacher's own private matter. As long as it does not violate the village system, he will not interfere or interfere. Others do not know the true identity of "Aosui', but Hiruzen Sarutobi does.
After all, he is the mastermind behind the transformation of Tobirama into Uchiha...
"You are too weak, Hiruzen!" Danzo rarely picked up his previous tone:
"Aosui is Uchiha, but..." Danzo paused.
Even if there are only two of them, they must get used to keeping secrets and not expose the bloodline of "Aosui'.
Then Danzo changed the topic. "I have the bones of Will of Fire!"
"It would be a pity if such a good seedling is not used for marriage!" Danzo said seriously:
"Hiruzen, you are Hokage! But now you are also General of the Nation of Land of Fire. There are some things that cannot be learned from the thinking of those Nobles..." "Aosui was rescued by the village, so he should do something for the village. There are some things he has no choice in!"
"Looking at Nobles's set, Aosui is the best tool for us to marry Uchiha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally understands what Danzo said.
Nobles Marriage is never emotionally oriented, the core is power integration and risk hedging.
Through blood connection, two independent forces are transformed into a "community of interests" to avoid conflicts and consolidate their relationship at the lowest cost. The core prerequisite for a successful marriage is to find a middleman.
There must be an individual who can be accepted by both parties, who not only carries the interests of one party, but can also be trusted by the other party.
The dual properties of 'Aosui' perfectly fit this requirement.
But the problem is, if "Aosui' is really just a descendant of Tobirama, there is no problem in operating it like this...
After all, even if he is the grandson of Hokage, he still enjoys generous resources. If something really happens, he has to step up to the plate.
The same was true for the former Hiruzen Sarutobi...
If at the time of First Shinobi World War, if Kumogakure or Second Kage of Iwagakure had proposed marriage to Hiruzen Sarutobi to eliminate the war...Hiruzen Sarutobi would not have been able to refuse.
Politics is not a child's play and there is not so much freedom.
But the problem is...
"Aosui' is actually Senju Tobirama himself!
Even in a group like Nobles, where the bottom line is very low, it is indeed normal for children of the clan to get married, but I have never seen anyone let "Retired Emperor" do this!
This seems a bit too flexible...
"Well..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered:
"No matter what you say, you cannot violate the village's system, and you must respect the wishes of Aosui and the other party."
"Let the tone be set like this. Don't interfere in the rest of the matter. Just let it take its own course."
Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decisive decision and chose to stay out of it!
Don't participate, don't ask...
If something goes wrong, it's none of Monkey's business...
As Hokage, he shouldn't care about this.
It's nothing more than a little fight between boys and girls.
In terms of marriage, if one day a female ninja close to the level of Hashirama and Madara appears in the outer village, Hiruzen Sarutobi will pay serious attention and find a way to get acquainted by herself...
But unfortunately, Shinobi World is not available.
This also made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel a little sorry. Biwako took the initiative to tell him that he didn't mind...
Danzo shook his head in dissatisfaction, obviously not taking what the old brother said into his heart.
"Hiruzen, I'm afraid you don't know..."
"I asked Teacher Tobirama and he supported sending Aosui for marriage! This is a necessary sacrifice..." Danzo said in his heart.
Master Second has agreed!
As for the question, Danzo looks at Tobirama's photo album every night and talks to himself.
Somehow, he just felt that Tobirama recognized his logic, just like he felt that he would be Fourth and Aosui would be the Fifth Daime. If he wanted to become Hokage, then he should first sacrifice some freedom for the village!
"Hiruzen, let's not talk about this anymore, how to deal with Hanzo's matter?"
Danzo changed the topic.
Regarding Aosui, he has his own ideas...
After all, he is Aosui's master!
Hiruzen Sarutobi said lightly, "Riding into Konoha alone, Hanzo is sincere, which represents his trust in us..." "But on the other hand, it is also showing his power to Konoha."
"After all, he is a man who was once called by the ninjas as "close to the top of Shinobi World." He also defeated Jiraiya and the others in Second Shinobi World War. The ninjas in the village are deeply impressed by him."
Hanzo's behavior reminded him of Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng.
Give Konoha as Jing Province, right?
But Hiruzen Sarutobi is also a little surprised.
Since Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo, which was once active in Shinobi World, has ceased to exist.
Even Amegakure was silent for a long time, as if the whole village had fallen into a state of silence.
Even Kusagakure, which is much weaker than Amegakure, was louder than Amegakure at that time and Shinobi World.
On the contrary, after Konoha started to rise, Hanzo started taking action again.
Unified the propaganda caliber, and truly promoted the last Shinobi World War on Amegakure and Land of Rain. The culprits were Iwagakure and Sunagakure, putting themselves and Konoha into the "victim's" camp.
However, what Hanzo said is not entirely wrong.
Although he intensified the conflict and wanted to show his power on the big stage, it was Sunagakure and Iwagakure who subsequently tried to expand the war. Therefore, this statement was widely recognized by Amegakure.
In recent times, Hanzo has repeatedly communicated with the Administrative Department of Konoha.
At least he showed a lot of sincerity in his attitude and showed his willingness to cooperate in depth with Konoha.
Today, even one person came Konoha...
"I have to say that Hanzo's actions are quite heroic..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, "I would also like to make friends with such a person!"
"Then, since he comes alone, I will welcome him alone."
"Hokage will naturally take it if you want to recruit me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone is calm, and his relaxed posture reveals strong confidence.
Just a Hanzo...
It's not Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara...
Can it turn the world upside down?
Danzo was startled, staring straight at Hiruzen.
Just say that Hanzo has a heroic demeanor... how can you, Hokage, not be the same?
Damn it, I really want to learn it!
"Then let me get you Hanzo's information? Regarding his Ibuse poisonous fog, Body Flicker Technique and other information, the village had a backup after the last war, and I asked Root to conduct a detailed investigation before."
"Take another look Hiruzen. Although there is basically no possibility of taking action, it is good to be prepared." Danzo said softly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Danzo." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a smile:
"Your intelligence work is always done so well."
Danzo frowned. "Hard work? I always feel like you are blaming me..."
But all in all, Danzo is still very happy with it.
After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the materials Danzo Feng Wind-Fire Huo brought and nodded.
It's really complete...
And what's interesting is that because of some of the details, Hiruzen Sarutobi can infer that in the past Danzo had reached some kind of cooperation with Hanzo.
He didn't know this before...
But since Danzo can take the initiative to give it to him, this matter can be considered a thing of the past.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook Haori and picked up Pipe: "Go down with each Konoha Committee Member and Jonin in charge. Hanzo and I will most likely take a walk in the village."
"Let everyone not panic or be overly curious and maintain a stable order."
Danzo nodded. "Leave it to me, Hiruzen!"
At this moment, Danzo suddenly thought of Orochimaru in the Scientific Research Department, and the corner of his mouth raised.
Even if you are Hokage's apprentice, what's the use?
"The person Hiruzen trusts and relies on the most is always me!" Danzo thought happily in his heart.
#
Outside Konoha.
Hanzo walked slowly towards the entrance of the village.
Along the way, he had already noticed something strange.
As a strong man who has fought on the front lines of the battlefield.
Although the investigation methods of Aburame, Inuzuka Clan and Iburi Clan are secretive, it is impossible to avoid being discovered completely if they are prepared. But even so, Hanzo is secretly frightened.
Even if he doesn't reveal his whereabouts, Hanzo knows in his heart that there is a high probability that he will still be discovered.
There is a strict intersecting system of outposts and secret sentries, reconnaissance ninjutsu and patrol teams...
It's almost impossible to escape.
"I'm afraid only Invisibility Technique, like Second Tsuchikage, can penetrate silently..."
"But it's hard to say, Mito Uzumaki is still there. With her perception ability, even if it is "none", she should be discovered..." Hanzo is constantly collecting information.
Since his will recovered, Hanzo feels as if he has become ten years younger and has become the energetic hero who can stay on the battlefield for five days and five nights.
Will and mentality are so wonderful sometimes...
"But now that they've discovered me, why hasn't Jingran taken any action?"
Hanzo's visit this time was due to official communication between Konoha and Amegakure in advance, and it does not count as coming without warning.
It's just that I didn't bring the escort and visiting group with me as usual.
"Are you shocked by what I did?" Hanzo smiled slightly. He seemed to have seen Hiruzen Sarutobi convening an emergency meeting and studying him.
"Although it is for cooperation, negotiation itself is also a game..."
"I can't walk at your pace!" Hanzo thought, speeding up.
And we arrived a few kilometers away from the Konoha entrance.
Hanzo, who was in a state of rapid march, suddenly stopped.
Just because where he was looking far away, Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking Tobacco Pipe and looking at him with a smile.
Hanzo felt a chill in his heart.
Why is the other party also a person?
But he calmed down immediately, slowed down, and walked slowly towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
While walking, Hanzo looked at Hokage, and was startled unconsciously.
After thinking about it and working hard, Hanzo feels much younger.
Before coming to Konoha, he deliberately put on a pair of brand new clothes and cloak. Even Breathing Mask was brand new, and his chains were polished. A leader with a strong and neat appearance can always make people respect him unconsciously.
But compared with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hanzo's perk is nothing.
"When did he become so majestic and powerful? And this face is clearly what he looked like more than ten years ago... This is not about cheering up, but turning back time!"
"This strong Chakra, and this sense of power that seems to be overflowing..." Hanzo quietly carried Sensory Jutsu, and he also had some accomplishments in this area.
In his perception, Hiruzen Sarutobi was like a furnace, exuding strong vitality and Chakra reaction just by standing there. "Coming?"
Seeing Hanzo coming, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said relaxedly as if chatting about everyday things, "I didn't expect Mr. Hanzo to come alone."
In the first round of the peace talks, even if Hanzo didn't want to admit it, he knew that he was at a disadvantage.
Single versus single...
In this first round, Hanzo originally wanted to seize the opportunity to negotiate with his own spirit that was not inferior to that of the past.
But the result is obvious.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's current status is far beyond Hanzo's expectations!
What happened in the past few years?
Hanzo can't help but doubt life.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiruzen Sarutobi had met just after the last meeting with Shinobi World War.
At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, although it felt quite strong, it exuded a sense of exhaustion from the inside to the outside, giving a feeling of middle-aged and elderly people...
But now, it is the full prime of life, the pure peak of spring and autumn!
Before coming, Hanzo was still thinking, Hiruzen Sarutobi don't let him down...
But that's a little too much to let him down!
"Your state is really surprising..." Hanzo walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said softly, "I didn't expect you, Jingran, to come out of the village to greet me in person."
"Hanzo Your Excellency is still in the same condition, and his style is still the same as before..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and extended his hand, "Welcome Amegakure's visit. Since Mr. Hanzo trusts Konoha so much, I, Hokage, should not be rude."
"My job today is to accompany you for a walk in the village. Without the interruption of others, the two of us can stroll around and talk casually." Hanzo shook hands with Hiruzen Sarutobi solemnly. "Thank you Lord Hokage for your attention."
The two people walked side by side.
"As for the in-depth cooperation between the two villages, I carefully read the report from the Administrative Department."
"The problems with Amegakure are mainly the lack of task quotas and the decrease in fiscal revenue. This has a lot to do with the conflicts between you and the domestic Nobles after you launched Shinobi World War."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.
Hanzo nodded. "That's true..."
As a Small Hidden Village, placing Shinobi World War's main battlefield within the borders of his own country, the pressure and criticism he has to bear are huge. That is to say, Hanzo's reputation and strength were indeed the leader of Shinobi World back then, so he could avoid too much criticism.
But even so, Daimyo and Nobles of Land of Rain were offended by Hanzo's behavior of not listening to advice, and they did not trust this "monster ninja" who was about to fight the two Great Hidden Village...
Of course, if you win, you can say anything, and Nobless will change their attitude accordingly.
But the problem is, I didn't win.
As the main battlefield, Land of Rain suffered heavy losses in various facilities and personnel...
There are many choices for Amegakure and Nobles, which are located at the junction of Three Great Hidden Villages.
You can place orders at Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Konoha, or even Kusagakure to meet their task needs to express their dissatisfaction with Hanzo and Amegakure.
Such silent resistance left Hanzo helpless.
After all, with Amegakure's sensitive position, if he takes action against Nobles and Daimyo, it will give other Hidden Village the legal basis to unite to attack him...
When Land of Rain's Nobles found Hanzo after many years for Konoha's "Sage Land Pill", he was shocked.
A Konoha product can actually make Nobles, who has been in cold war with him for so many years, lower their profile and take the initiative to come to the door?
"Lord Hokage, is there any solution for Amegakure?" Hanzo said softly.
"Yes." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded:
"To be honest, Amegakure's needs coincide with Konoha's. Part of our task share is redundant and we lack the population to digest it."
"The output of "Sage Land Pill' has also made breakthroughs recently, and we want to expand sales."
Hanzo's eyes lit up.
Is this going to allocate part of Konoha's task quota to Amegakure?
But Hiruzen Sarutobi's words also made Hanzo feel sad.
Redundant task share?
What words is this!
Konoha's population is quite small, but even so, can't we still handle the many tasks?
Think about Amegakure, the ninjas have to compete with other Great Hidden Village for a mission...
One is a picky eater, and the other is so hungry that he can't help it.
People are more annoying than others!
"Amegakure needs these very much..."
Hanzo said decisively, "I understand that these are not obtained for free. Please Lord Hokage make it clear what Konoha needs Amegakure to do‖"
"Hanzo, don't worry." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and waved his hand:
"In Shinobi World, the previous alliances and Peace Agreement have always been pieces of paper with no credibility at all..."
"This is because the conflict between them has never been resolved. Both sides just want to take a temporary rest so that they can fight again in the future."
"Sunagakure needs fertile land, Iwagakure is hostile to Konoha from the bottom of his heart, Kirigakure's internal conflicts need to be suppressed externally as an outlet for internal conflicts..."
"As for Kumogakure, everyone knows that it is Shinobi World robber."
Hanzo couldn't help but nodded in agreement and listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words attentively.
This is also the reason why he chose to give up the pursuit of peace after Second Shinobi World War.
Five Great Hidden Villages all have their own ideas and demands, and no one accepts them.
Just like Senju and Uchiha in the past, it is impossible to sit down and talk without fighting to exhaustion and completely distinguishing between superior and inferior. Even if Konoha has always stated that it only wants peace of mind and peace, it is useless.
Although Hashirama has word-of-mouth endorsement, other Hidden Village are afraid that Konoha will come out with another Uchiha Madara.
If Konoha fails to achieve results during its idle period, it will be very troublesome when it develops.
No one can guarantee whether the two thousand-year-old ninja clans Senju and Uchiha will produce another god...
No one wants to be ruled by force.
And the fans all believe that as long as their Hidden Village unite, they have the potential to reach the top...
Let alone Uchiha Madara, even if there is another Tobirama, other Great Hidden Village will never want to see it.
It can only be said that the matter of ancestors being generous is a double-edged sword.
If you inherit a rich inheritance, you will have to endure the fear and covetousness of external wolves.
"The conflict between Konoha and them is irreconcilable..."
"In other words, the price of reconciliation is that Konoha must bear unfair demands, which naturally loses its meaning."
"But Amegakure is different. Konoha and Konoha can work together for a win-win situation and complement each other. Your Excellency Hanzo has repeatedly promoted the friendship with Konoha in your village, which allowed me to see the basis for real cooperation between the two villages."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly:
"Therefore, I hope that after your Excellency Hanzo can have a thorough understanding of Konoha, the two parties can reach an alliance that is different from any previous Shinobi World and form a truly close community of interests."
"Betrayal and betrayal are commonplace in Shinobi World, and I'm tired of seeing them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hanzo:
"Just like Senju and Uchiha, Konoha and Amegakure had their share of unhappiness, but as long as we try our best to be sincere, we may not be able to become a family."
Hanzo looked a little moved.
Take Senju and Uchiha as examples?
This is actually very flattering to Amegakure...
Because no matter how you say it, Amegakure is just a Small Hidden Village.
Compared with Konoha, we should not use the evenly matched example of Senju and Uchiha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knows it, but he doesn't care.
What are words worth? They are just carrying people in a sedan chair.
When chatting, you can call Mr. Hanzo.
But when the agreement involves the core interests of Konoha, you must listen to him Hokage!
"Lord Hokage's sincerity, I understand..."
"In this case, please Lord Hokage take me to see the current Konoha. I will experience it with my heart and then talk to you with the greatest sincerity."
"I just talked about the agreement rashly. It was really not dignified enough. Please forgive me."
Hanzo said softly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly.
If an outsider heard the tone of this conversation, it would be difficult to guess that it was the leaders of Konoha and Amegakure.
They are very polite to each other...
And this is the power of "sincerity".
Hanzo was eager to cooperate, but Hiruzen Sarutobi refused at first, telling him to "think about it after inspecting the goods."
"Please..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hanzo entered the door of Konoha.
Under the respectful eyes of the gatekeeper, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hanzo walked side by side in the streets and alleys of Konoha.
Konoha Outer Ring's business circle alone makes Hanzo a little dazzled.
"I usually just listen to the caravans say that the prosperity of Konoha is unmatched by any village, and more lively than the capital of Land of Fire..." "Only after seeing it with my own eyes, I know that what I said is true!"
"Compared to Land of Rain's capital city and Konoha, it's a bit flattering to say it's a rural place!"
It includes stores from almost all walks of life, and they are all the most high-end and trendy...
Hanzo discovered something even more.
He saw the members of Police Force who maintained discipline, cooperated with each other tacitly, and looked friendly.
"That's Aburame Clan..."
"Is Konoha's Police Force no longer controlled solely by Uchiha? No wonder Shinobi World recently had another question about Uchiha A lot of information about..." "And Hyuga's clan members... the conservative Hyuga actually let their Branch Family enter Anbu?"
For a knowledgeable leader like Hanzo, it can be seen at a glance that this is a reflection of Konoha's improved cohesion.
Each Ninja Clan has been condensed into a whole by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hanzo also saw that no matter where Hiruzen Sarutobi went, even where he was not seen, the ninjas looked at him with great respect... Hiruzen Sarutobi also kept waving to the ninjas with a kind smile, which was obviously very popular among Konoha.
And if Third Mizukage can see this scene, he can actually analyze this.
He just likes to play some Bloody Mist Village games, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have basic logical analysis skills.
But unfortunately, he and Kirigakure were targeted by Uchiha Madara.
Land of Water is already in a state of isolation and lack of information...
Uchiha Madara also used a large amount of White Zetsu and personally took action to create a "Madara's World'" for Kirigakure! He fine-tuned some details and fabricated some false information.
The executives of Kirigakure felt that the current situation of Konoha and Ninja Clan was not due to cohesion, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi had lost control and had to let go of a large number of key positions...
It can be said to be a super large illusion!
And at this moment, an accident happened.
A businessman from another village who was being interrogated by Uchiha Hono suddenly threw a smoke bomb on the ground.
His whole body was like thunder, with a faint layer of lightning coming out of his body. He was obviously using Lightning Release Chakra's physical activity skills to run hard in the opposite direction...
He is Kumogakure's spy.
When they saw Hanzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi walking side by side, they looked obviously wrong.
And this scene happened to be captured by Uchiha Hono.
In addition, the smell of Kumogakure on his body cannot be washed away, and he has long been suspected by Ninja Dog of the Inuzuka Clan. He has been under surveillance since he entered Konoha.
Uchiha Hono Just asked a few words, Kumogakure the spy couldn't bear it anymore...
"Good boy, your reaction is fast enough!" Uchiha Hono shouted angrily, Three-Tomoe opened his eyes.
It's been a long time since he saw Konoha acting wild.
Today is also the day when Hanzo visits Konoha...
Damn it Kumogakure, didn't you give him and Uchiha eye drops?
This actually has nothing to do with whether Police Force is competent or not, because the ecology of Shinobi World is like this.
Osmosis and reverse osmosis will never stop, but Uchiha Clan is such a good face...
"Lord Hokage?" Hanzo frowned.
This Kumogakure spy is obviously very good at speed. Although his other achievements cannot be seen, his movement alone is faster than most Jonin.
Obviously the elite of Kumogakure.
"It doesn't matter..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked as usual.
He didn't move.
He believed that Konoha's defense system would not let the enemy escape.
And just when Hiruzen Sarutobi's words fell.
A Lightning Crossbow Bolt that was compressed to the extreme surged out from a high place like a divine punishment and passed through the throat of the Kumogakure spy with great accuracy!
It is Hizashi Hyuga.
Even if the opponent is moving at high speed, Hizashi's accuracy and prediction ability are obviously stronger...
Uchiha Hono stared at Three-Tomoe: "Tch..."
"Forget it, he's dead after all! Boys from Aburame, lend a hand and send this disgusting beast to Analysis Division. I think it's most likely Kumogakure..."
Uchiha Hono was slightly unhappy, but more surprised.
He saw that it was Hizashi who took action.
But is this too far?
Hyuga and a set of Gentle Fist have been played for almost a thousand years. When did you get this one!
Hanzo was also stunned.
What kind of technique is this?
He couldn't help but think that if there was a war with Konoha, not many Amegakure could resist this single-point strike beyond visual range... let alone the middle-level ninjas below!
If we meet in the forest terrain of Land of Fire and fly a kite, will we be killed one by one?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was very pleased.
Who doesn't like a good student?
Obviously, Hizashi has carefully studied his Chakra control and condensed release skills...
And by combining the essence of Cursed Seal and Byakugan, it has its own characteristics.
"A surprising technique..." Hanzo murmured to himself, "Who is this?"
"It's my eyes and right-hand man." Hiruzen Sarutobi replied with a smile.
Hanzo sighed.
He actually has a right-hand man, but compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he seems a little less interesting...
This little episode passed quickly.
It won't take long for Bi Jing to clean up the land.
The two of them also walked into Konoha Inner Ring.
Here, Hiruzen Sarutobi took Hanzo to first visit Ninja Academy of Konoha.
After seeing the basic numerical values of the Ninja Academy students, Hanzo's expression gradually became numb.
Is this still Ninja Academy student?
Many students, even if they send Amegakure's Chunin, are still at this level.
Hanzo was also keenly aware of the dense open class schedule of Konoha Ninja parents.
"Let's take a look at today's cuisine..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi led Hanzo to Konoha's kitchen. A variety of dishes were being prepared in an orderly manner, and the aroma was overflowing. "Are these all for the Ninja Academy students?" Hanzo couldn't help but ask.
"You can also feed the two of us..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi made a joke, "Children are growing, so naturally they need to eat better, and the village provides it for free."
Hanzo's expression became a little unnatural.
Amegakure is very poor, let alone eating these things, many children can barely eat enough.
This is inseparable from their poor geographical environment and the damage caused by Second Shinobi World War...
Next.
Hanzo visited various areas of Konoha, except Scientific Research Department, who is strictly confidential.
He stood at the Uchiha Clan's Model Bulletin Board for a long time.
Like Kisame and others, they carefully read every policy and guarantee of Konoha, with their expressions ranging from disbelief to numbness, to a slightly fanatical read over and over again.
Is this still the life of a ninja?
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Hanzo would never believe it!
Konoha Hospital.
Hanzo saw Prosthetic Body and Medical Chakra Scroll being promoted by Konoha.
"Master! I was just about to tell you..."
Tsunade Feng Wind-Fire walked over angrily, saw Hanzo, and frowned subconsciously.
No way, anyone from Sannin will probably have this reaction when they see Hanzo...
Hanzo is a little embarrassing.
Things are different now.
In the past, he could stand on top of Ibuse's head, overlooking Tsunade and others, giving them the name "Sannin', and maintaining a high profile. After only reaching Konoha's power, Hanzo understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi allowed him to make decisions only once...
I dare not expect to be the same as Konoha...
Even if there is half the prosperity of Konoha, Yucheng Village will celebrate the New Year as Tenten!
"I didn't expect Jingran to see you alone in the village..."
Tsuna Teuchi looked at Hanzo with a complicated expression. "Master, what are you doing?"
"Actually, Hanzo is my good friend for many years. We were all deceived by Sunagawa and Iwajo before. Unfortunately, our brothers were imprisoned..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi used the words Hanzo said in Yucheng Village without changing his expression.
Hanzo's eyes lit up.
He just knew...
I have been following Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Hiruzen must also be following him!
The two of them have been close friends for a long time!
"I really don't understand you fools. From now on, I'll definitely tell you what I have to say..."
Tsunade twitched the corner of his mouth, thought for a while and then said, "No, Hanzo can only call him the leader, he is not Ya"
Hanzo's face darkened. "Thank you Princess Tsunade, one of Sannin, for correcting me."
Tsunade couldn't hold himself any longer and was about to say something.
"Okay, okay..." Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to smooth things over. "Don't talk about the past, don't talk about it!"
The two of them also tore each other's wounds...
"Your Majesty, the first version of Medical Chakra Scroll has been released."
"I need some Ninja Academy students or experts in the village to give it a try during a competition and provide me with some data and experience in actual use."
Tsunade said slowly.
To experience using the shield, feedback can only be obtained after extensive actual use.
Medical Chakra Scroll, after all, is trying to save lives on the battlefield, and any small detail may be related to the life of a Konoha Ninja... Of course, this is also related to Konoha's sufficient finances, which gives Tsunade room to do so.
"Don't worry, the amount of medical treatment Chakra contained in each scroll is sufficient. As long as the head or heart does not suffer a fatal blow, it can be saved..."
Tsunade said with a smile:
"I have also prepared some enhanced versions for you. I know that you like to compete with the ninjas in the village on weekdays, but you are always afraid of missing one of your own. Now you don't have to worry..."
"When Jiraiya comes back, I'll take care of him!"
Tsunade grinds his teeth:
"He was hyping up endlessly. One moment he said he was invincible in the world, and the next moment he said he was a great writer and asked for "Breaking the Heavens with Ninjutsu'!" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help laughing.
Jiraiya's character is like a living treasure...
Obviously, Mount Myoboku gave Hiruzen Sarutobi the name "Prophet Master", which effectively cured Jiraiya's mental internal friction.
Because Mount Myoboku and Konoha are unified together.
Jiraiya no longer has to worry about specious things, and his personality has become more cheerful, even a little lively.
Hanzo on the side was lost in thought.
Medical Chakra Scroll?
If it could be used in batches on the battlefield, the strategic significance this would bring is simply unimaginable!
And at this point, Hanzo also understood.
Hiruzen Sarutobi can think of reaching a cooperation with Yucheng, most likely because the two have been close friends for a long time, and it is not easy for them to understand each other's difficulties, so they took his hand...
Otherwise, there will be no partners for cooperation?
Of course, this is not the case. As the "sixth" Mahayana village, Yucheng Village is irreplaceable.
Hanzo couldn't stand it. I was shocked by the series of Konoha. I thought so...
"Lord Huoya..."
"Konoha's sincerity and prosperity, I just arrived."
"Now that things have happened, I believe you understand that the greatest resource of Yucheng Village is actually my company."
Hanzo stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said softly, "You also know that if you want to achieve in-depth cooperation, force will always be the most important bargaining chip and the basis of trust in Shinobi World."
