Chapter 247: Hanzo of the Salamander
Fugaku instantly thought of this word in his mind.
That was the answer he got from asking Aoba before.
But now, Aoba did not admit this matter.
"Madara-sama."
"The stone tablet."
"Is there any connection?"
"I went to see the stone tablet before, but I didn't see anything."
"Now..."
"Is it okay now?"
Fugaku pondered as he walked. Just as he thought of the last sentence, his eyes instantly turned into three tomoe Sharingan, which then transformed into a special pattern. It was the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Thinking of this.
He immediately walked in the direction of the Uchiha Shrine.
In his heart, he faintly felt that he would obtain some important information.
...
Another morning.
Aoba woke up early in the dormitory. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and arrived at the tower.
"The wind and rain are coming!"
Aoba stood on the tall tower and looked at the forest outside. He was in Anbu's dormitory all year round and could not see any weather at all.
At this time.
The sky above Konohagakure was cloudy and the cold wind was roaring. The trees in the surrounding forest were shaking back and forth. The air pressure was very low, and it seemed like it could rain at any time.
Only.
Right now, the rain had yet to fall.
There seemed to be something missing.
But he felt that the rain was about to pour down and already ready to come out.
"Looks like..."
"Two days later."
"When Kumogakure's envoy group arrived."
"There will be a rare storm coming to Konohagakure!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, and then he left the watchtower on the third floor of the tower and walked down.
"This kind of rainy weather is most suitable for practicing water release ninjutsu."
Aoba walked all the way to the dojo on the first floor of the tower, and his hands began to form seals. The seal he made was Taj? Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)'s seal.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant.
One shadow clone after another suddenly appeared on the empty ground of the dojo.
After each shadow clone appeared, they immediately began to form hand seals for practicing water release ninjutsu. They cherished every minute and second, and everyone knew what their mission was.
Swish!
After Aoba was done, his figure disappeared in a flash and returned to Anbu's dormitory. He packed up and prepared to go to work in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division compartment.
...
Sunagakure.
The weather here was completely different from Konohagakure's.
As the first rays of the morning sun shone on the earth, the dry climate immediately caused the surroundings to become hot and dry.
Every grain of sand on the ground seemed to be burning and constantly heating up the environment.
Between this up and down.
It made Sunagakure, which was made of yellow sand and earth walls seem to be in a steamer, and everyone felt extremely hot and dry.
In the center of Sunagakure.
There was a three-story building with the word "wind" on the outer wall.
It was Kazekage Building.
"Third Kazekage-sama!"
At this time, a masked Sunagakure Anbu appeared behind the Third Kazekage in Kazekage's office.
"Did something happen?" The Third Kazekage asked in a deep voice.
"There's news from Konohagakure." The masked Sunagakure Anbu immediately said.
"Let me see."
When the Third Kazekage heard this, his eyes lit up.
During this period of time, he had heard that Konohagakure was going to have a war with Kumogakure.
The collision between these two great villages would definitely cause a great war in the ninja world.
When he found out about this matter, he knew that this might be an opportunity for Sunagakure.
As long as he could get rid of the harsh climate here and obtain green land in the forest of the Country of Fire, he could move Sunagakure there.
At that time.
The problem of the village could be solved.
In the future, the villagers would not have to face this kind of hot life every day.
"Here."
The Anbu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the Third Kazekage.
"Um."
The Third Kazekage immediately took the piece of paper.
He recognized it at a glance, it was the handwriting of Mani, who had sneaked into Konoha Anbu as a spy.
For ten years.
Mani had written countless secret letters to Sunagakure.
The Third Kazekage had already imprinted Mani's handwriting in his heart.
Instantly.
The Third Kazekage read the words on it.
From head to tail.
After reading it.
The Third Kazekage's face revealed an irrepressible joy.
"The heavens are really helping my Sunagakure!"
The Third Kazekage's chest heaved up and down. The joy in his heart had already reached a very high level.
"Konohagakure and Kumogakure have temporarily stopped fighting, but Konohagakure does not intend to really negotiate with Kumogakure internally. Instead, he wants to take advantage of the time when Kumogakure's envoy group enters Konohagakure to paralyze Kumogakure and send elite forces to attack Kumogakure from the rear."
The Third Kazekage's eyes flashed with excitement. He stared at the Anbu who sent the letter to him and the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ear.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"In order to plot this matter, Konohagakure did not spread any news. In this way, the various forces are biding their time and observing the situation on their side."
"This way, Konohagakure can take advantage of the chaos to defeat Kumogakure in one fell swoop and quickly end this war that has not yet completely begun."
"How sinister!"
"This is definitely not something that a coward like the Third Hokage can come up with."
"It should be Shimura Danzo!"
The Third Kazekage said with a smile. The Five Kage were very clear about each other's personalities and how they often deal with each other.
If it were just a matter of the Third Hokage's strength, then he would give the Third Hokage a little respect and acknowledge his strength.
But in terms of being a Hokage!
In front of the Third Hokage, there was the First Hokage Senju Hashirama who suppressed the entire ninja world, as well as the famous fastest ninja in the First Ninja World War - Senju Tobirama.
These two Senju were in front.
It could be said that they crushed the faint light of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Once Konohagakure makes a sneak attack on Kumogakure, he must carry out an idea, the kind that is fast, accurate, and absolutely fatal."
"In this way."
"Konohagakure's internal situation is bound to be in a state of emptiness."
"This way, we, Sunagakure, can break through Konohagakure in one fell swoop!"
"When that time comes..."
"Kumogakure's strength has been greatly reduced, Konohagakure's strength has been greatly reduced, and our Sunagakure's strength has doubled. We will stand at the peak of the ninja world in one fell swoop."
"Hahahahaha!"
The more the Third Kazekage thought about it, the more comfortable he felt. He could not help but raise his head and laugh.
"Tell the Jonin in the village to prepare well. During this period of time, prepare to attack Konohagakure at any time!"
The Third Kazekage ordered the Anbu next to him.
"Yes!"
The Anbu immediately responded. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared.
The Third Kazekage was the only one left in Kazekage's office.
The Third Kazekage walked to the window.
He slowly opened the window.
Suddenly, a hot wind that carried the hot smell of the wind blew on his face, giving him a feeling of heat.
"Our Sunagakure is about to turn over."
The Third Kazekage clenched his fists tightly. He was very clear that the goal of Sunagakure's past generations of Kazekage was to move the village out of this barren desert and wait for the place where there were mountains, rivers, and forests.
Konohagakure.
It had always been the village that they, Sunagakure, yearned for.
It was sunny there and had a pleasant climate. Compared to Sunagakure who was standing in the desert, it was simply heaven on earth.
"Mani!"
"You have done a great service this time!"
"Leaving the village for ten years, this kind of spy's life is not easy..."
"Actually, it's not a grievance to you. After all, you went to Konohagakure ten years in advance and enjoyed the life there in advance."
"As Kazekage."
"I will take good care of your family."
"Don't worry."
The Third Kazekage turned around and walked out of the office. Now that Mani had sent back such important information, he had to tell Mani's wife.
What's more...
Mani had left the village for so long that his family needed to be taken care of.
This kind of thing.
As the village's Kazekage.
He was duty-bound!
...
Almost at the same time.
Three figures came to a place where the rain gathered.
The climate here was completely different from that of Konohagakure.
Almost all year long, the rain continued to fall, like a crying country.
This was the Country of Rain.
These three figures were all Aoba's advanced paper clones.
They were part of the last few shadow clones that Aoba had sent out. After leaving Konohagakure, they directly ran in the direction of the Country of Rain.
With Aoba's strong physical fitness and Ch?keij?gan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique), his traveling speed was extremely fast.
Finally, on the morning of the next day.
The three advanced paper clones came to this crying country.
At this moment.
The three advanced paper clones all transformed into three Root ninjas.
The ninja standing at the front.
It was Aburame Tatsuma who had died not long ago.
Tatsuma was Danzo's right-hand man. He had brought a Root Team to Country of Rain to talk with Hanzo before and finally brought back two elite teams to ambush Tsunade in the forest.
It was precisely the ambush.
It helped to fulfill the fate of Tsunade and Aoba as teacher and student.
At this time.
Aoba used the appearance of Tatsuma and the two Root ninjas to come to the Country of Rain. The reason why he used Tatsuma was that he deeply believed that Danzo would not tell the news of Tatsuma's death to Hanzo.
It was precisely because of this.
Aoba felt that the identity of Tatsuma was the best.
They had worked together before.
Aoba's three advanced paper clones stood in front of the river that was watered by rain and waited here silently.
About half an hour later.
Bubbles emerged from the river under the feet of Aoba's three advanced paper clones.
Then.
Two ninjas came out of the water.
They wore gas masks on their heads, and they had the symbol of Amegakure on them.
After the two ninjas appeared, their eyes fell on Tatsuma.
"What's the matter?"
One of the two Ame ninjas asked Tatsuma.
"I have something to see Mr. Hanzo." Aoba's advanced paper clone imitated Tatsuma's tone. From his appearance, he was wearing a black cloak, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses. It was almost impossible to see any expression on his face. It just gave people the feeling of pretending to be cool.
"Come with me."
The eyes of this Ame ninja swept across Aoba's three advanced paper clones. They were responsible for guarding here and contacting the ninjas of other villages.
They had all seen Tatsuma.
That was not a simple identity.
The one standing behind him was Shimura Danzo.
Instantly.
The two Ame ninjas led the way.
Aoba's three advanced paper clones followed behind.
The five of them walked toward the residence of the leader of the Country of Rain, Hanzo of the Salamander.
Not long after.
The five of them arrived in front of Hanzo's residence.
This was a magnificent house.
Just from the appearance.
One could tell how rich Hanzo was.
You have to know...
The Country of Rain was an exceptionally poor country.
Along the way, they saw many children who had lost their homes because of the Second Ninja World War.
They did not even know when it would be time to eat.
Under such circumstances.
As the leader of the Country of Rain.
Hanzo's private life was extremely rich, which could be said to have aroused the dissatisfaction of many people of the Country of Rain.
Aoba's advanced paper clones saw all the scenes along the way and gradually understood in his heart.
It's not that Yahiko has to create the Akatsuki organization.
It was that this environment required an Akatsuki organization.
Even if Yahiko did not do it, there would still be people who would do it.
In this environment of Country of Rain.
The appearance of the Akatsuki organization could be said to be an inevitable product.
People complained.
When this kind of resistance accumulated to a certain extent, it was the time when they rose up.
Aoba gradually understood why when he saw the anime, the forehead protector of the ninjas of the Country of Rain all had this horizontal line that symbolized betrayal.
The two Ame ninjas brought Aoba's three advanced paper clones to Hanzo's residence, then stopped and turned to look at Aoba's three advanced paper clones.
At the same time.
Aoba's three advanced paper clones also stopped.
"You guys wait here. I'll go inform Hanzo-sama."
The Ame ninja said to Aoba's three advanced paper clones, then turned and left, walking into the residence of Hanzo.
Aoba's three advanced paper clones did not speak. They all showed a very cold look, which was consistent with the usual characteristics of Root ninjas.
After a while.
The Ame ninja who had just reported came out. After his gaze swept across Aoba's three advanced paper clones, it landed on Tatsuma, who was at the front.
"Of the three of you, only one can go in. Now, decide who will go in." The Ame ninja said.
"I will go in."
Tatsuma said without hesitation.
The other two Root ninjas were just passers-by.
Hanzo wouldn't even look at the two of them.
And Tatsuma was at least Danzo's right-hand man, so he was more or less qualified to speak.
"Come with me."
This Ame ninja led the way in front and Tatsuma followed behind.
Whenthey entered a wooden corridor.
The surrounding walls were decorated with murals and potted plants as if they had entered another world. It was completely different from the continuous rain outside.
The two of them walked for about five minutes.
They arrived in front of a room.
This Ame ninja bowed slightly at the door and said respectfully, "Danzo-sama's people have arrived."
"Let him in."
A low voice came from inside the room. it could be clearly transmitted to the ears of Aoba's advanced paper clone.
"Yes."
The Ame ninja immediately responded. Then he opened the door and nodded to Tatsuma.
Then.
Tatsuma walked in.
He just entered the room.
He saw a middle-aged man with long hair wearing casual clothes.
From the muscles on his body, he looked very strong.
His slightly messy hair was casually draped over his back.
He wore a gas mask on his face.
This person.
It was the leader of the Country of Rain, who was known as a Demigod.
Hanzo of the Salamander!
"Is there a reason why Danzo is looking for me?"
Hanzo's deep voice slowly rang out. At this moment, he was holding a sharp katana in his right hand. His left hand was carefully wiping the blade. His eyes were fixed on the katana. It could be seen that he loved it very much.
"Hanzo-sama, Danzo-sama asked me to send you a message. I hope you can send a ninja to ambush Sunagakure." Aoba's advanced paper clone said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
"Sunagakure?"
Hanzo's action of wiping the sword slowed down slightly. Then, he continued to wipe the sword and asked, "Why?"
