Just when Kizaru followed Tsunade and started learning Strength of a Hundred, Kakuzu, who had already taken over the task, also started taking action.
Land of Rivers, where Kakuzu was before, was originally adjacent to Land of Fire. Therefore, it only took him half a day to sneak into Land of Fire.
Lurking in Land of Fire, a city close to Konoha, Kakuzu discovered a very painful problem.
That is my goal, Shimura Kizaru, and I have never taken over a task.
If he doesn't accept the mission, Kizaru won't leave the village, and Kakuzu will naturally have no chance to take action.
Although he was once a powerful ninja who assassinated First Hokage and successfully escaped with his life, Kakuzu did not think that he could assassinate the target in Konoha.
After all, the intelligence provided by Black Market shows that the target is not weak, and has a record of killing Jonin (the information about ambushing Raikage was hidden by Three Great Shinobi Villages). It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to defeat his opponent in a short time.
Once the target cannot be killed in a short period of time, Kakuzu, who was assassinating Konoha, will be trapped and it will be difficult to escape.
Seven hundred and fifty million is indeed enviable, but Kakuzu still hopes to earn the money while alive.
Therefore, Kakuzu has been lurking in the city very patiently, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Kizaru to go out.
At the same time, Kakuzu also conveyed his needs to the customer behind this huge reward through Bounty Exchange of Land of Fire.
He needs the customer's help to attract Shimura Kizaru out of the village so that he can start his own business.
Regarding this request of Kakuzu, Three Great Shinobi Villages, who issued the reward, also understands it.
Looking at the entire Shinobi World, there are a few ninjas who can single-handedly assassinate the powerful genius ninjas in the village at the base camp of Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Regarding this point, Kumogakure has a strong say.
After all, the genius ninja Dodai in their village was killed by Shimura Kizaru alone in the base camp.
And it wasn't an assassination, but a one-shot kill directly in front of hundreds of ninjas.
When he thought of this, the anger in Third Raikage's heart became even stronger!
During this period, under the leadership of Third Raikage, Yun, Yan, and Sha Three Great Shinobi Villages had frequent contact, and there was a strong tendency to jointly encircle and suppress Konoha.
There is no way, Kizaru's surprise attack on Kumogakure's performance is really shocking.
Konoha was also aware of Three Great Shinobi Villages's changes. Danzo stepped up its spying on external intelligence, while Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi even reduced the number of missions it accepted.
Five Great Shinobi Villages, except Kirigakure who adopted a closed policy, all felt the atmosphere of war.
Shinobi World, which remains calm on the surface, has actually turned into a huge explosive barrel, with only one spark left to detonate.
"Master Hanzo, everyone is ready!"
Land of Rain, Amegakure, in a large room, Hanzo wearing a respirator is sitting on the main seat, with Amegakure's elite ninjas standing below him.
With adoring and fanatical eyes, all the ninjas in the room looked at Hanzo sitting high up.
At this moment, Hanzo, in the eyes of everyone, is no longer just a powerful ninja, but a great leader and a god!
Land of Rain, who has been poor and weak for too many years, really longs for the emergence of a hero, a hero who can lead everyone to change the status quo and become bigger and stronger.
At this time, Hanzo gave everyone hope. They all believed that under the leadership of Hanzo, Land of Rain would definitely become the sixth largest country comparable to Five Great Nations.
He left his seat and stood up, Hanzo looked at the large sand table in front of him.
On the sand table, he and Amegakure's huge ambitions were revealed.
Blitz Land of Iron, severely damage Land of Wind, and defeat Land of Fire.
With this, Third Shinobi World War expanded its territory and established Land of Rain's status as a great country in one fell swoop.
His eyes left the sand table and looked around at the fanatical men below. At this moment, Hanzo was filled with pride and felt that the realization of his dream for many years was right before his eyes.
Under the countless expectant eyes below, Hanzo said confidently, "Tomorrow early morning, raid Land of Iron!"
"As you command!"
All the ninjas looked happy and excited, and answered in unison with great momentum.
With the death of Hanzo, the spark that ignited the explosive barrel of Shinobi World bloomed from Land of Rain, a country that rains all year round and is full of swamps.
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Danzo, who had just woken up, received the information from his subordinates.
Land of Rain declared war on Land of Iron, and Hanzo personally led his men to raid Land of Iron.
Without any hesitation, Danzo left the residence and prepared to find Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Have someone wake up Kizaru and go to Hokage Building to stand by!" Danzo ordered the tribesmen before leaving.
"Ha~"
Not long after Danzo left, Kizaru was woken up by someone. With hazy sleepy eyes, he got dressed and left the clan.
When Kizaru arrived at Hiruzen Sarutobi's office, there were already many people in the small room.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi is sitting in the main seat, Hokage Assistant Danzo, and the two Advisor Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are on both sides.
Anbu Captain Sarutobi Shinnosuke leads Hatake Sakumo and is also standing in the office on standby.
Walking into the office, Kizaru looked around without saying anything until Earth Flow came to the side of Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
Not long after Kizaru entered the office, Tsunade, the representative of Konoha Hospital, also walked in.
Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya and Orochimaru also rushed to the office.
Seeing all the people from Hokage's group arriving, Hiruzen Sarutobi also put down his pipe and looked at Danzo beside him.
Understanding what my old friend meant, Danzo coughed lightly and started to speak.
"According to Root's intelligence, at three o'clock this morning, Land of Rain Hanzo led Genin's men and raided Land of Iron. The situation of the battle is unknown now, and I have asked people to step up detective work."
Danzo's words instantly broke the peace in the office.
"Land of Iron is no match for Hanzo!" Not only Hokage Advisor, but also Mitokado Homura, who has the strength of Kage Level, also serves as a staff officer. (<Rin no Sho> says that Mitokado Homura has the same strength as Third Hokage.)
"Hanzo must not be allowed to usurp Land of Iron." Utatane Koharu also said.
"Hanzo's ambition, I have said it before. We must not watch Land of Rain rise!" Danzo said firmly, "My opinion, send troops Land of Rain!"
Danzo's words fell to the ground. Jiraiya, who was standing behind Tsunade and standing side by side with Orochimaru, opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
Orochimaru, who knew Jiraiya's character very well, noticed his actions.
Reaching out, Orochimaru stopped Jiraiya's move, and shook his head towards Jiraiya who was looking at him.
The open mouth slowly closed, and Jiraiya remained silent with a little loss.
"If we send troops to Land of Rain, I'm worried that there might be something unusual at Kumogakure." As Anbu Captain, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who has recently been ordered to monitor Kumogakure's movements, expressed his worries.
"What Shinnosuke said makes sense. Kumogakure must be on guard." Mitokado Homura said in agreement.
Nodding, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed with their opinions.
