If Hanzo the Salamander dares to sign an alliance with Sunagakure!
Now is the perfect opportunity to kill Hanzo the Salamander while the Amegakure is off guard... then assassinate the Amegakure's high-ranking officials, causing widespread destruction and plunging the Land of Land of Rain Amegakure into civil war.
In this way, Amegakure would no longer have the energy to interfere in the war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. This was the last resort that Sato Hideaka came up with. This solution... might even cause the people of the Land of Rain to fall into internal strife again, or even be invaded and ravaged by other countries.
As a 21st-century traveler to the Hokage world, Sato Hideaka didn't want to resort to such an extreme method to resolve the issue if there were any room for maneuver in this mission. However, between nations... there is indeed no such thing as fairness; if there is, it is might makes right!
Only the mighty can bring fairness; a weak nation can only passively accept its fate.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, they sent the Konoha ninjas out of Amegakure one by one, then organized them into formation, set up tents, and waited for the opportune moment. After hearing Sato Hideaka's deduction, Tsunade Senju had no choice but to passively accept this established fact.
At the crucial moment of negotiations between Sunagakure and Amegakure, Sato Hideaka had no more favorable terms to offer, and only by using force to intimidate Hanzo the Salamander and make him abandon the alliance he had originally signed with the Sunagakure!
Tsunade Senju was extremely frustrated with the current situation. Although she didn't like using her country's interests as a bargaining chip, with the four great nations eyeing her and her surrounded by enemies, appropriately releasing some financial resources as leverage could actually yield greater benefits.
The problem is that since the village's instructions and orders have not yet arrived, Tsunade can only try to negotiate with Amegakure using relatively reasonable terms. However, the benefits offered by Sunagakure are far beyond what is expected, and even completely beyond her budget.
This has made the negotiations extremely difficult!
However, while Tsunade Senju stood dejectedly a few kilometers away from Amegakure, in front of an Amegakure tent, staring blankly at the muddy ground and pouring rain in the distance, waiting for a turning point in Amegakure's life, Sunagakure was also extremely frustrated and anxious.
As Chiyo and Ebizo wished, the Sunagakure and Amegakure joined forces to drive away the Konoha ninjas. However, Hanzo the Salamander did not sign the alliance. Instead, he leaned slightly towards the powerful Konoha. The biggest contributor to Hanzo's change of attitude was undoubtedly the demon who broke into the Amegakure building.
The Blue Asura of Konoha, the strongest talent of the new generation, Sato Hideaka!
Thinking about this, Chiyo felt even more troubled. The main reason she came to Amegakure seeking reinforcements was this demon who could unleash powerful Lava Release ninjutsu, but it was precisely this demon who ruined the alliance that was about to be finalized...
Could this demon be the nemesis of our Sunagakure?
Oh, only, only...
How barren the Sunagakure are!
Just as a delicate balance was being formed between Sunagakure, Rain Ninja, and Konoha, another group of people appeared near Amegakure. This group wore black trench coats embroidered with red clouds and straw hats with wind chimes on their heads. They were none other than Akatsuki, known as the dawn of Amegakure.
Leading the Akatsuki were three members, Yahiko's trio: Yahiko, Nagato, and Minami. This time, Akatsuki had deployed its elite forces, and even included some other like-minded local armed ninja organizations, making them a formidable force.
Nagato gazed at the steel forest before him, a hint of confusion in his eyes. " Yahiko, are we really going to interfere with Hanzo's plans like this? Although we're both doing this for the Land of Rain, I feel like this approach is somewhat inappropriate."
"Don't worry, Nagato. Hanzo wouldn't want Amegakure to be caught in the flames of war. We're here to help Lord Hanzo and tell these people from the great powers that Amegakure is very united and our goal is very clear: not to participate in the wars between the great powers."
A hint of worry flashed in Yahiko's eyes, but he quickly dismissed it, being a man of action. Since the person had already arrived, it meant that Akatsuki had decided to join the discussion about the future of the Land of Rain. As a citizen of the Land of Rain, he had the right to know the future direction of the Land of Rain.
"Who are you? Are you ninjas from Amegakure? I've never seen you in Amegakure before. What's the code...? Hurry up! Otherwise you can't get in..."
Just one kilometer away from Amegakure, Akatsuki was discovered by Amegakure. More than twenty Amegakure ninjas surrounded the Akatsuki members. One of the team leaders, wearing Amegakure Forehead Protector, shouted at the strangely dressed group.
Yahiko flashed a sunny smile and addressed the unfriendly-looking leader in a friendly manner, "We are ninjas from the Land of Rain, Akatsuki of the Land of Rain. Please report to Lord Hanzo the Salamander that we wish to discuss cooperation with him regarding a medium-sized ninja organization composed of wandering ninjas from the Amegakure of Land of Rain."
"Akatsuki of the Land of Rain, I know you... Alright, I'll inform Lord Hanzo right away."
Upon seeing Yahiko, who identified himself as being from the "Akatsuki" organization of the Land of Rain, the captain let out a long sigh, as if he had been relieved. "Akatsuki" had a very good reputation in the Land of Rain; they were an organization formed by a group of peace-loving young people.
Moreover, this organization has helped many people and villages and enjoys great prestige among the people. It can be considered another organization with ideals and great ambitions after the Amegakure under the reform of Hanzo the Salamander!
Half an hour later, the members of the Akatsuki organization were invited into Amegakure.
A kilometer away from this group of people, a pitcher plant-shaped object was growing in a grove of trees, cleverly hidden, almost perfectly blending into the grove. Inside the pitcher plant was a strange-looking person with black and white features.
The half-white figure suddenly opened its mouth and said, as if mocking, "Why didn't Madara come to protect Nagato himself? You made us protect Nagato Uzumaki from Hanzo the Salamander... Do you even have the ability, Black Zetsu?"
"Of course I have that ability, you idiot White Zetsu. Madara went to the Land of Water after learning about the Genin world." Black Zetsu's voice was more mature, and he coldly explained to White Zetsu, "He probably wanted the Land of Water to join the war... If the Land of Water can cross the ocean and attack the eastern front of the Land of Fire, then the Land of Fire's defenses will be in jeopardy."
"By then, I doubt the Land of Earth's Kage, Onoki, would have stopped organizing those laughable probing attacks. It's really... Onoki actually thought he could use such a clumsy trick to lure those guys from the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning into joining the war. Even if those guys from the Hidden Cloud Village have brains full of muscle, they're not idiots, okay...?"
"This is... trying to start a major war. Is Madara planning to take this opportunity to completely destroy Konoha in the Land of Fire? This is so interesting... We're going to have a good show to watch. Right, Black Zetsu?"
" White Zetsu, you idiot, all you do is watch the show."
" Black Zetsu, why are you cursing at me?" (To be continued.)
