Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 506
The matter was settled, and the following time, the two parties shook hands pretendingly, and then Monzaemon took the lead to leave, and his back gradually disappeared from Hanzo's eyes.

Hanzo did not leave, but quietly waited for Monzaemon to leave completely, then turned around again, looked at the Ishikawagaoka battlefield, and whispered softly:
"Want to drag us Ugakure into the quagmire of war again, and share the pressure from Konoha for you Sagakure? Monzaemon, you can dream."

"The Kingdom of Fire seems to be a piece of fat, eat it, it will be fine if the Konoha Dove faction wins, but if the Konoha Hawk faction wins... Yuyin will probably be destroyed by this piece of fat Mouth teeth."

"At times like this, it's better to be still. When the battle between the two factions in Konoha is over, the old man may have to consider changing his position."

By observing the Second Ninja World War, which lasted more than five years, Hanzo has noticed a fact at this moment:
That is, there is a gap in strength between Konoha and other Dainin villages.

It can be said that Konoha is worthy of being the overlord of the ninja world, and he can still stand in the situation of one against four, even now he has blown up Sand Hidden Village, and is about to force back Rock Hidden Village.

The strong strength shown by Konoha forced Hanzo to reconsider Yuyin's position in the future. Although there was hatred between each other, the hatred was nothing but in the face of life and death.

If the Konoha Hawk faction wins, then with Lei Luo's consistent acting style for so many years, Hanzo can even guess what the other party will do after he takes over the position.

At this moment, Hanzo was unwilling to let Yuyin Village stand in front of Lei Luo's soldiers, but the geographical location of the Land of Rain was there after all, so how difficult was it to remain neutral all the time?
Therefore, choosing another ally and resolutely kicking away these wastes like Shayinyanyan became a backup option in Hanzo's mind, but...

"We have to wait until Konoha's situation is completely clear, otherwise..."

Staring at the Ishikawa Hill battlefield below, and slowly sweeping across the basins blasted by the Tailed Beast Jade, Hanzo exhaled a little tired, and whispered to himself:
"Old man, Yuyin, including the Kingdom of Rain, is likely to fall into a passive state, or even to perish."

The sorrow of the small country is vividly reflected in Hanzo at this time. When dealing with the relationship with the big country, he has to think hard.

Every step is like thin ice.

If you make a mistake, it may be an abyss.

As for the brazenly asking for [-] million taels of gold from Sagaku just now, it was just that Hanzo saw Sagakure returned in a big defeat, and saw that there was no problem with stepping on Sagakure, so he made the decision to open his mouth.

After all, Yuyin also wanted to develop, and the gold reserves were wiped out by Lei Luo in the past few years. Therefore, in the past two or three years, all Yuyin have almost tightened their belts to live.

This is not good, very bad.

In this way, since Sand Yin came to the door, Hanzo didn't mind doing some private work. Anyway, now that Lei Luo has won, he probably won't settle accounts with them after learning the truth... right?

To be honest, Hanzo no longer had any intention of competing with the other party at this time, facing Sue Kage who killed Mizukage Kazekage solo one after another.

Keeping Yuyin is his only insistence at present.

As for Sand Hidden, Monzaemon, and their friendship?I'm sorry, in the greater interests, or even the more critical choices, these things are simply not within the scope of Hanzo's consideration.

After all, this is politics.

"Yeah, that's politics..." Running across the wilderness, Monzaemon explained to Chiyo, who had just joined him:
"Hanzo's exorbitant asking price did not exceed my expectations, but it is actually worth it, after all, gold is not worth much to us."

"With Luo Sha here, you can have as many of these things as you want."

Hearing this, Chiyo looked at his teacher suspiciously, and subconsciously asked, "In that case, teacher, why didn't you meet Hanzo's request?"

Shaking his head, Monzaemon sighed softly, and couldn't help but feel worried about Chiyo's innocence, so he could only continue to explain patiently:

"We know that gold is worthless, but does Hanzo know?"

"You should have heard about the current situation in Yuyin Village. If it is only three hundred million taels of gold, it will not make their situation much better, but one billion taels will be different."

"Satisfying Hanzo's request at once, and handing over one billion taels of gold to him will only allow him to quickly make up for the funding gap of Yuyin Village. At that time..."

"I still want to impress him with money like now, but it will definitely not be so easy."

Monzaemon's purpose is obvious, it is to use gold to satisfy Hanzo's appetite, so that this ally who is not very firm in the butt can maintain the minimum friendly relationship with Sagakushi, and can help at critical moments.

For Sand Yin, who is in a difficult situation now, it is undoubtedly a profitable business. After all, they actually did not pay any price, and they locked up a kage-level master and a large ninja village.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Chiyo gradually understood Monzaemon's thinking, and couldn't help but look at Monzaemon with admiration, and sincerely admired:
"Teacher, you are still thoughtful."

Regarding Chiyo's praise, Monzaemon was not at all happy in his heart, and his face showed deep sorrow, and this also made his next words full of pessimistic emotions:

"Unfortunately, after this battle, let's not talk about the loss we Shayin suffered this time, let's just talk about Hanzo. That guy seems to have lost a lot of courage. It's hard to say whether he will act according to my plan."

Perhaps it was Monzaemon's expression at this moment that made Chiyo secretly feel distressed, so she frowned tightly and began to consume brain cells crazily, trying to figure out the way to relieve the teacher's worries.

Then, the two ran silently for a while, until two or three minutes passed, Chiyoka seemed to understand something, and quickly popped out a sentence:

"Teacher, do you want Hanzo to come out to attract Konoha's attention and share the pressure of defeat for us?"

After a slight pause in his footsteps, Monzaemon turned his head to look at Chiyo in an instant, with a look of anticipation in his expression, as if to encourage the latter to continue talking.

It's a pity, next, Ren Qiandai's face turned red, and he couldn't think of it anymore: What else can I say?
Seeing this, Monzaemon may also know that he was a little too hasty. After all, Chiyo is only in his 40s now, and obviously cannot compare with himself in terms of life experience or political wisdom.

Simply, he stopped embarrassing Chiyo, and explained directly: "You can see that this layer has indeed made great progress compared to before, but this is not the main reason why I encouraged Hanzo to invade the Fire Nation."

Saying that, Monzaemon turned his head, looked at the night sky, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"Although the war is about to end now, although Konoha is the victor, although Iwain seems to be willing to accept the result of defeat, and take the initiative to make concessions so that peace will come."

"but……"

After a pause, seeing that Chiyo was listening intently, Monzaemon let out a long breath slowly: "I think that only one fuse is needed, and the war is likely to restart, such as the dispute between the two factions of Konoha."

"If Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Lei Luo fight, I believe there will definitely be people who want to invade the Land of Fire, such as Onoki and Yeyueai from Yunyin."

"But Yanyin has just been defeated after all, and Yunyin has been standing still. It's hard to say whether they will really dare to put their ideas into practical actions."

"So, at this time, there needs to be a guy with enough weight to take the lead and set an example for Yanyin Yunyin, and then take the initiative to arouse the greed of Onoki and Yeyueai."

"As for this candidate, at present, it seems that only Sansho Hanzo is the most suitable."

After talking for a long time, he found that Chiyo was thinking a little bit, as if he seemed to have realized something, Monzaemon first looked at the other party in relief for a while, put on a "children can teach" expression, and then said the last sentence make it complete:
"If the land of fire breaks out, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial for us Sand Yin, because it means that Konoha will not have much energy to pay attention to us who are defeated."
