Land of Rain, Amegakure.
Taking advantage of Kizaru's victory, through coercion and negotiation, Danzo successfully obtained Land of Rain's wartime troop garrison rights and intelligence sharing from Hanzo, as well as some favorable conditions, and then satisfactorily signed a reconciliation and alliance agreement with Hanzo.
Land of Rain has few resources and little money, so it is of little significance to kidnap Hanzo back to the village. It may also easily trigger civil strife in Amegakure, causing some Amegakure ninjas to launch a suicidal revenge against Konoha.
It is out of this consideration that Danzo, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi who received the news and the village's top management all unanimously decided to let Hanzo stay in Amegakure to stabilize the situation.
After completing the negotiations, Danzo, who had not seen his nephew last time, was ready to withdraw his troops and return to the village.
Kizaru achieved decisive and major military exploits on two battlefields in succession. Danzo could not wait to return to the village to promote and build momentum for him.
This war is over, and Hiruzen is almost fifty years old. In a few years, it will be almost time to leave.
At that time, it will be the time for Kizaru to take over.
When he thought of this, Danzo felt a little excited.
With Kizaru's lazy, trouble-hating, and uninvolved character, if he becomes Hokage, wouldn't it be equivalent to becoming Hokage himself?
By that time, with Kizaru holding down the force in terms of force, and internal affairs and strategies being handled by ourselves, Konoha will surely become more prosperous, and the great cause of unifying Shinobi World will most likely be realized by our own hands.
"Sir Danzo, Hanzo has something to discuss with you." Just as Danzo was thinking about a bright future, a Anbu Ninja walked into the room and reported in a low voice.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Danzo's eyes became sharp and he entered working mode.
"Lead the way!" he said, Danzo followed Anbu Ninja out of the room.
In the spacious reception room, Hanzo, who had just met Sunagakure Envoy who had sneaked in, was sitting calmly, waiting for the arrival of Danzo.
If there was no deep memory of defeat to Kizaru last time, Hanzo might agree to Sunagakure's request for cooperation.
Join forces with Sunagakure and attack Konoha together?
Hanzo had a mocking smile on his face.
Sunagakure is seeking death and wants to take him with him?
Successive losses, especially the disastrous defeat to Kizaru, made Hanzo go from one extreme to the other.
He was once ambitious and wanted to lead Land of Rain to become the sixth largest country.
Now, he just wants to hold Amegakure firmly in his hands and live comfortably.
It was precisely because of the change in mentality that Hanzo immediately made a decision in his heart after meeting Sunagakure's messenger and reported Sunagakure's information to Danzo.
Thinking of Sunagakure Jonin who risked his life for the sake of the village, sneaked here secretly, and secretly negotiated with him, the smile on Hanzo's face became even more sarcastic.
Even if we are cooperating with a big country, you Sunagakure are not worthy. If I am looking for one, I am looking for the strongest Konoha.
Just when Hanzo was looking down on Sunagakure, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Danzo and Tsunade walked in.
Darkness of the Shinobi Danzo, Konoha Sannin (Hanzo used the title of praise for Tsunade during the peace talks.), and Yellow Flash who has left.
Konoha's strong men and geniuses are truly enviable.
"Hanzo, do you have a suitable discussion with me?" Danzo, who sat directly opposite Hanzo, with Sannin standing behind him, asked calmly.
"Sunagakure sent an envoy to see me and wanted to form an alliance with me to attack Konoha together." Looking at Danzo in front of him, Hanzo said straight to the point.
Different from the young Sannin whose expression changed behind him, Danzo was very calm. He just looked at Hanzo and said lightly, "Where is he?"
"Already left."
"It seems that you agreed to Sunagakure." Very satisfied with Hanzo's answer, Danzo smiled slightly.
Sannin behind him heard the conversation between the two. Orochimaru was the first to understand and looked at Hanzo with interest.
Next to Orochimaru, Tsunade, standing in the middle position, was also thoughtful, and roughly guessed Hanzo's intention.
Jiraiya has the most impulsive personality. When he heard Hanzo's words, he was ready to ask questions directly. However, seeing that his companions remained silent, he calmed down and quickly understood Hanzo's intention.
"Sunagakure and I agreed that we will ambush you with them tomorrow morning while you are evacuating." Hanzo continued.
"Very good! You will act according to the plan tomorrow!" They looked at Hanzo and Danzo with satisfaction and said.
In a very short period of time, Danzo had already figured out how to use this plan to severely damage Sunagakure's power.
"Jiraiya, use your Summoning Technique to deliver information to the village and tell Hiruzen that Sunagakure is preparing to go to war with us!" Without hiding it, Danzo ordered Jiraiya directly in front of Hanzo.
"Okay!"
"Let Hiruzen arrange Ninja Unit to support Land of Rain." Different from fighting with the smaller Land of Rain, knowing Sunagakure's pretty good strength, Danzo was more cautious, "Let him send Kizaru."
"Okay!" Jiraiya reached again.
Has Konoha's Yellow Flash come to the battlefield again?
Hearing Danzo's instructions, Hanzo suddenly became a little excited. He wanted to see what kind of performance Sunagakure's ninja could do when facing Yellow Flash?
"What a dexterity!" Kizaru praised with a smile while eating the beef Nonō had just roasted.
He followed Kizaru to the barbecue restaurant. In order to repay Kizaru for treating him to barbecue, Yakushi Nonō insisted on making a request that he be responsible for the barbecue.
Faced with the little girl's insistent request, Kizaru said nothing and agreed with a smile.
In the private room of the barbecue restaurant, Nonō was carefully roasting beef and pork, and Kushina was sitting next to her, helping.
As for Minato, he sat next to Kakuzu and Kizaru and poured wine for them.
Originally, according to village regulations, only adults over twenty years old could drink.
But Kizaru relied on his mature appearance and bold moves to successfully make the barbecue restaurant ignore his age.
"Brother, are you still living in the village tonight?" Kizaru, who had already divided the money with Kakuzu, asked with a smile.
"Let's go after eating!" With the money in hand, Kakuzu felt at ease and was unwilling to waste time making money. He was ready to continue taking on tasks.
"You are so diligent! Little brother!" Hearing Kakuzu's answer, Kizaru said with a smile.
"After all, money is the only thing in this world that is trustworthy." After drinking some wine, Kakuzu rarely spoke the truth.
Faced with this answer, the people present showed different reactions.
"Mr. Kakuzu, the village and companions are also trustworthy." Minato, who dreams of becoming Hokage, looked at Kakuzu beside him and said seriously with a smile.
If Kakuzu and Minato were different, Nonō and Kushina sitting opposite them looked thoughtful.
"I think trust should be built on each other. If I give my sincerity, I will definitely get it back." Nonō, who grew up in Orphanage since he was a child, said in a low voice as he recalled the scenes of getting along with his companions Orphanage.
Beside Nonō, Kushina remained silent and did not speak, because she had not yet found someone she completely trusted.
"Village? Sincerely? Hahaha!" Recalling the experience of being betrayed by the village, Kakuzu said disdainfully, "What a childish brat!"
Mr. Kakuzu, you must have been hurt by someone you trust very much!
Nonō looked at Kakuzu talking and thought speculatively in his heart.
"Oh ho ho! Do you trust me?" Kizaru picked up the wine glass and spoke with a smile. After drinking all the sake in the wine glass, he said freely, "No matter the money, the village or the companions, everyone has their own story. Don't impose your thoughts on others, and live your own life comfortably, that is the best!"
This guy is really different! Is he really only ten years old?
After listening to Kizaru's words, Kakuzu looked at him with admiration.
It should be very comfortable if you partner with someone like Kizaru to do bounty missions!
Such an outrageous thought suddenly arose in his heart, making Kakuzu burst out laughing.
Picking up the wine glass with a smile, Kakuzu was just about to have a drink with Kizaru when he sensed a powerful ninja approaching from outside the box.
While looking towards the door, Kakuzu put down his wine glass.
Keeping the same movements as Kakuzu, Kizaru, who also sensed that there was a ninja and an acquaintance approaching, also looked towards the door with a smile.
The door of the box was pushed open, and Hatake Sakumo wearing a Anbu mask stood at the door.
"Kizaru, Lord Hokage want to see you."
"What an unfortunate coincidence!" Kizaru sighed and stood up.
"Minato, help me entertain everyone, and record the meal directly after eating."
After giving instructions to Minato, Kizaru looked at Kakuzu again, "Brother, we will only see you again in the future."
Nodding, Kakuzu said nothing.
After saying goodbye to Kakuzu, Kizaru smiled and waved to Nonō and Kushina, then walked out of the box.
After closing the box door again, Kizaru followed Hatake Sakumo and left the barbecue restaurant.
When Kizaru and Hatake Sakumo rushed to Hokage Building's conference room, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two Advisor were already sitting in their seats.
"Kizaru, Sunagakure are ready to go to war with us. Danzo hopes you will return to the Land of Rain front line." Seeing Kizaru come in, Hiruzen Sarutobi said directly without any nonsense.
"Sunagakure! It's so scary!" Kizaru said with emotion, walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi, pulled out the chair in the corner, and sat down with his legs crossed.
"The matter is urgent. You and Sakumo will set off tonight to go to Amegakure to support Danzo and the others." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious face.
"Understood." Kizaru is still very reliable when it comes to business matters, and he replied simply.
"Sunagakure may dispatch Tailed Beast over there, bring Two-Tails with you." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who knew that Sunagakure had been developing the Jinchuriki weapon since Second Kazekage, reminded him.
"Tailed Beast?" Thinking of One-Tail Shukaku's silly and cute appearance, Kizaru suddenly felt that it would be good to have another pet, "Then I can find a companion for Matatabi."
Looking at Kizaru helplessly, worried that Kizaru had really captured One-Tail of Sunagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly said, "Kizaru, don't bring Tailed Beast back to the village casually, it will arouse the hostility of other villages."
"What a shame!"
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
Not wanting to be stimulated by Kizaru anymore, Hiruzen Sarutobi started chasing people away.
"Goodbye, teacher!" As he spoke, Kizaru stood up and left the conference room with Hatake Sakumo.
Traveling quickly, when the two of them arrived at Amegakure, it was already early morning.
Knowing that Sunagakure was preparing to attack his own Danzo, he increased his vigilance.
Therefore, when Kizaru and Hatake Sakumo came to Amegakure, Konoha Ninja, who was in charge of the security duty, spotted them immediately.
After some inspection and communication, and after confirming the identity of the two people, the ninja who had received the order from Danzo immediately took the two people to Danzo's residence.
At this time, Danzo had not rested yet and had been waiting for the arrival of the two of them.
"Haqie!" Entering the room, Kizaru greeted Danzo while typing Hachi, "It's been a long time no see! Uncle!"
Seeing the casual look of Kizaru, and comparing it to the serious Hatake Sakumo after entering the house, Danzo felt that the familiar headache had returned.
"Hiruzen has already told you the information!" Looking at Hatake Sakumo, Danzo said.
"Sunagakure is ready to declare war on us." Hatake Sakumo replied neatly.
Nodding, seeing that the two of them had not understood all the information, Danzo explained in a serious tone, "Sunagakure sent an envoy to find Hanzo to form an alliance, and prepare to launch an ambush when we evacuate tomorrow morning.
Hanzo told us the news and was ready to join us and take this opportunity to beat Sunagakure hard.
Evacuate tomorrow, you don't have to follow the big troops.
Just lurk behind the team and don't expose your traces before Sunagakure takes action."
This time, Danzo was going to give Sunagakure a hard blow, so he specially called Kizaru and Hatake Sakumo, two of the top combat forces in the village.
After a successful battle, Sunagakure will be beaten painfully, or even crippled! This is the strategic purpose of Danzo.
"After Sunagakure takes action, you go around behind them and surround them from behind, trying not to let anyone escape."
Two people surround an army!
Danzo has full confidence in Kizaru and Hatake Sakumo, especially Kizaru!
"It's so scary! Uncle!" After listening to Danzo's arrangement, Kizaru complained with a smile.
"I have confidence in you!" Looking at the two of them, Danzo said firmly.
"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Hatake Sakumo asked equally firmly.
After saying that, the two of them looked at Kizaru who was sitting on the chair and playing with the cat in tacit understanding.
Facing the gazes of the two people, Kizaru raised his head and said with a smile, "I heard that Third Kazekage is known as the strongest Kazekage, he must be as strong as a monster!"
Seeing Kizaru describe the enemy as a monster, Danzo knew it was safe, laughed with satisfaction, and said aloud, "I am looking forward to chatting with Konoha and Kazekage."
"That's really too much to ask! Uncle!" Seeing Danzo also showing off, Kizaru joked with a smile.
"Hahaha!" In front of his nephew, Danzo put down his usual airs and laughed happily.
Hatake Sakumo, the only one standing in the room, felt a little out of place when he looked at his uncle and nephew sitting on his left and right sides.
