Summary: "Different Path"

Setting: Year 28, Konoha Standard Time — Eve of the Second Shinobi World War. Hanzo (transmigrator) is leader of Amegakure and Daimyo of the Land of Rain.

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• Hanzo orders a full-scale evacuation of the Land of Rain's population as war approaches.
• Elite jonin Kanzō questions the retreat, fearing it makes them look weak.
• Hanzo explains the Land of Rain is surrounded by hostile powers (Wind, Fire, Earth, Grass, Cedar) and will inevitably become a battlefield; he prioritizes civilian survival over pride.
• Backstory revealed: Hanzo earned his "Demigod" title in the First Shinobi World War by driving out five invading nations using Salamander Clan poison, founding a unified ninja-village-daimyo regime.
• Hanzo's erased memories hint the original Hanzo planned to enter the Second War seeking Sixth Great Ninja Village status — likely a doomed path Hanzo now rejects.
• Tanaka reports the Salamander Clan alone cannot finish evacuating all villages before war breaks out.
• Hanzo produces a scroll for the Shuzaki Lizard, a Warring States-era summoning beast whose chief can transform into "Shuzaki Castle" for mass transport.

2. Character Developments

• Hanzo: Pragmatic, cautious, and duty-driven. He consciously chooses a different path from his predecessor — directing from Amegakure rather than charging into war. He also struggles with administrative burdens, as the Land of Rain lacks bureaucratic talent. He thinks unconventionally (using transport-type summons) and accepts that even a "Demigod" cannot be everywhere.
