Akatsuki and Amegakure officially started negotiations.
Hanzō's proposal this time was irresistible to Yahiko.
That is - Amegakure will use the power of Akatsuki to negotiate with the three great powers of wind, fire and earth.
Officially get rid of Land of Rain's positioning as a strategic zone in the eyes of other major powers and become a country that is truly recognized and has absolute sovereign power.
Moreover, Amegakure will help Akatsuki to promote their concept of peace in Shinobi World."
It completely brings a new look to Shinobi World".
Amegakure needs to rely on Akatsuki's power - this argument is not problematic in the eyes of Yahiko and others.
There is nothing to doubt - once successful, Akatsuki will indeed help the country and change the various threats Land of Rain faces in Shinobi World."
It also means that they and Amegakure are no longer enemies, nor are they being co-opted, but are cooperating to build the future of this country.
Of course, Konan and Nagato don't believe it.
But they couldn't change Yahiko's decision. After all, Yahiko was the leader of the organization.
So - when Yahiko led Akatsuki to meet Hanzo of the Salamander who finally showed up, he had no idea that Amegakure would dig such a big hole.
Because according to what Hanzō said, if Land of Rain wants to achieve its goal, it must rely on the power of Akatsuki.
Yahiko believes that like Hanzō, who has a tyrannical and strong mentality, it is impossible not to want Land of Rain to become better and stronger - to usher in the dawn of peace instead of the current chaos.
Little did they know - Hanzō had already been ruined.
His understanding of Hanzō is wrong.
In order to ambush "Akatsuki" and annihilate it in one fell swoop, Amegakure dispatched a large force, while the manpower led by Yahiko was only part of the main team members on the front line. There was a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides.
Not only that, something unexpected happened to the three of them during their meeting with Hanzō.
Amegakure used the environment and psychological tactics, and when all the Akatsuki members really thought that they Amegakure were going to have peace talks and lowered their guard, a sudden cold arrow abducted Konan.
The Amegakure force that met Yahiko and others seemed to be very small in number - the topic led by Hanzō also always centered on the core of the negotiation and was very sincere.
All these foreshadowings made Yahiko unprepared for the sudden situation.
After realizing that Konan was in danger, Akatsuki immediately began the pursuit.
However, Hanzō just led his men to retreat, and after running a short distance, he successfully lured Akatsuki into the trap set up for him.
As a result, the Akatsuki team headed by Yahiko was completely surrounded by the army of Amegakure.
The situation is critical.
In other words - the overall situation has been decided.
However, during the pursuit, Yahiko already realized that something was wrong, and asked his subordinates to send a message and send reinforcements.
But I'm afraid - it's too late.
"Too young--"
On a high ground, Hanzō, who easily led Yahiko and others into a trap, looked down at a group of young faces.
He couldn't help but sneer.
Even he himself didn't expect that the plan would be so easy.
Of course, their ambush was successful - mainly because Danzo's plan was also very thorough. Through a series of battlefield disadvantages in the early stage, Xiao made Xiao think that Amegakure had to rely on their strength. In addition, the words he used when communicating with Yahiko successfully deceived the other party.
The most critical thing is Yahiko's naive idea as the leader.
This junior has no idea that Shinobi World is a cruel food chain.
Big fish eat small fish.
"Peace? In Land of Rain, I am peace."
Hanzō squinted his eyes, glanced at Konan who was kneeling next to him, and said in a cold voice, "Your ending is already determined--"
"Why are you talking nonsense to them? Let's do it now."
At this time, a voice sounded, and Danzo slowly walked out from behind the high ground, revealing his figure.
Along with him, there were a group of Konoha ninjas.
Everyone is wearing a mask.
"Konoha!"
When they saw Danzo in person, Konan and Nagato's hearts trembled at the same time.
Senior Ye was right.
Sure enough, it was Konoha who was behind this.
The emergence of Konoha's troops has further cut off the possibility of Akatsuki wanting to fight in exchange for hope of survival.
Their chances of winning are zero.
Konan Although she was caught and her life was in danger, she still managed to remain calm.
Because--she has already contacted reinforcements beforehand".
Fourth Kazekage has promised her that she will take action when necessary.
But - what about people?
Konan glanced around with the corner of his eye, and apart from seeing a large number of Amegakure and Konoha Ninja, there was no trace of Sunagakure at all."
Suddenly, Konan had a painful expression, Hanzō grabbed her roughly, pulled her up, and stared at Yahiko.
He ignored Danzo's urging, but said with a hint of appreciation in his tone, "Thank you for making it this far - I recognize your abilities, and when I proposed to take you back to Amegakure as a troop, you should have agreed."
"Now - I'll give you the same chance."
Danzo stood aside without interrupting. He understood Hanzō's intention.
The source of Akatsuki's stupidity is only Yahiko. As long as this leader is eliminated, Akatsuki will become a piece of loose sand without any threat.
Amegakure can take advantage of the situation and recruit a wave of talents.
Either surrender to Amegakure or die - your choice.
Danzo absolutely does not want Amegakure to join forces with Xiao, but he also sees clearly about Akatsuki - the reason why this organization is strong is because of Yahiko.
Once Yahiko died, even part of Akatsuki's troops became Amegakure's people.
With Hanzō's current attitude, it is difficult to train the members of Akatsuki well.
On the contrary, it may also create hidden dangers.
What's more, these Akatsuki people are deeply influenced by Yahiko. Even if they face the threat of death, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to take refuge in Amegakure.
Just a little talent supplement is not enough to scare Konoha.
So--as long as Yahiko dies.
Danzo ignored Hanzō's little thoughts.
Immediately, Hanzō threatened Konan's life and asked Nagato to kill Yahiko.
It was raining in the sky, and black clouds were pressing down on the sky.
The atmosphere in the venue was extremely depressing.
For Nagato, even he and Konan had anticipated all this."
But when it really happened, he still couldn't calm down and even seemed extremely panic--
Because Yahiko, who was standing opposite, had turned to look at him without any hesitation - asking him to take action directly and kill him.
Nagato held Kunai in his hand, Liu Shen Wu Zhu, subconsciously looked up at Konan on the high ground, and said anxiously, "Where are the people? Where are the people of Sunagakure! Didn't you contact them!!!"
Nagato is getting a little anxious.
Why?
Why--Sunagakure hasn't come yet?
With the strength of Sunagakure, it would be easy to invade the current Land of Rain.
There is no need for a large army, as long as a few elites arrive here in advance, it will be enough to help Akatsuki reverse the situation.
"Chief!"
"Nagato!"
However, just when Nagato's eyes shifted to Konan, Konan's expression suddenly changed and he screamed.
Akatsuki Here, someone also shouted loudly.
Yahiko knew that Nagato could not attack him, so he instantly hit Kunai in Nagato's hand."
Want to commit suicide.
At this moment - Nagato was in a panic and found it difficult to react.
"Sunagakure?!"
However, above their heads, Hanzō and Danzo suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this scene.
They don't care at all about Yahiko's death.
But I was shocked by the words that suddenly shouted out from Nagato's mouth!
What does it mean?
Sunagakure--Akatsuki and Sunagakure have joined forces?
When did it happen?
In an instant, the brains of Hanzō and Danzo started spinning rapidly.
Whoosh!
And when Yahiko was about to be stabbed by Kunai in Nagato's hand, suddenly, without any warning.
Yahiko, who was still running, mysteriously disappeared out of thin air, and his body teleported dozens of meters away.
Hanzō and Danzo seemed to notice something and immediately raised their heads.
I saw a golden sand cloud floating high in the sky.
"That's--Magnet Release: Gold Dust!"
Their pupils shrank.
The next second, a black shadow fell from the sky and hit the ground with a bang.
After falling from such an astonishing height, the opponent's body was not injured.
It just shattered a piece of solidified blood crystal.
On the contrary, a large area of dense, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground where it fell.
"Fortunately - I caught up."
The man who suddenly appeared slowly straightened his back from the ground, his tone was teasing.
"It's so lively - you two old guys came here to bully the newcomers - isn't it a bit too unoriginal?"
When the man raised his face, Hanzō breathed a beat slower.
Danzo couldn't help but take a step back.
Because--the person coming is none other than Fourth Kazekage from Sunagakure!
Regardless of his performance or skills, he is a man who nearly dominates the entire Third Shinobi World War.
"Room!"
Before Amegakure and Konoha's troops could react, Yubi instantly opened up the area.
Then, he snapped his fingers at Konan from the air.
In an instant, Konan, who was originally captured by Hanzō, returned to Yubi out of thin air.
At this time, the ball of Gold Dust above everyone's heads also slowly descended.
What came into view was a red-haired boy standing on Gold Dust with a cold expression, arms crossed on his chest, and murderous intent in his eyes.
Sasori of the Red Sands of Sunagakure!
There is also Rasa who performs the Magnet Release Ninja Technique and looks equally serious.
Including Yubi, a total of three people came.
It seemed that only three of them came.
Although there were only three of them, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
Something's wrong--
"Stop bullying honest people - next, let's change opponents - I will play with you two."
Yubi glanced at Hanzō and Danzo, and raised the corners of his mouth.
As soon as these words came out, Hanzō, who was arrogant just now, and Danzo, who was strategizing, lost their voices at the same time.
Didn't dare to respond.
