Escape From Konoha

Chapter 57: Nuclear peace... no, it's peace

The rain of sorrow, the rain of death, this is the current state of the rain country.

It rains everywhere in this country. Because of the year-round rainfall, this country has quite rich water canal resources.

This is something to be jealous of for the Sandy Ninja, the land of the wind, which is always in arid land.

But beyond that, the country of Rain is very poor.

Although there is a ninja village like Yuyin Village that stands out among the small ninja villages, it cannot change the weak fact.

People will only fear the power of Yuyin's leader, Sanjiao Yu Hanzo, but not Yuyin Village.

This point, in many high-level meetings, the sand hidden ninja has already seen through.

Once Hanzo falls, Yuyin Village will be self-defeating.

At that time, the dignity and value of this village will be stripped away by the foreign ninjas.

The sorrow of a weak country.

However, the matter of defeating Hanzo is not something that can be solved casually by talking.

If you want to defeat a ninja of this level, you can't do it without paying a certain price.

It's just that when dealing with the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, the senior officials of Sandyin have already concluded that the tactics are delayed until Konoha can't afford the supplies of Yuyin Village. As a result, the alliance between Yuyin Village and Konoha Village will be self-defeating.

Last year's plan was like this, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The Chiyo brothers and sisters, who had planned to delay, changed their previous strategy at the high-level meeting and switched from defense to offense.

"Break Yuyin and Konoha from the front?"

According to the opinions put forward by the Chiyo brothers and sisters, Sandyin, who had been preparing for a long-term battle, also felt inconceivable.

To be honest, breaking the alliance of Yuyin and Konoha from the front is not a wise move.

Leaving aside whether it can be victorious in a head-on conflict, even if it can be won, Sandyin will lose a lot, making it impossible to attack the Land of Fire in the future.

This kind of problem should be obvious.

"This is the news obtained through secret channels, let's take a look."

Chiyo handed a secret letter to Junin next to him, and then passed it on to others to read.

After reading the contents of the letter, many Sagakushi Junin had different expressions, some worried, some happy, and some hesitant.

"If the content of this letter is true, you can give it a try."

One Sand Hidden Kamijin was eager to try.

"But it always feels too risky."

Another Junin expressed concern and wanted to focus on safe tactics.

"Yeah, the opponent is Hanzo, Konoha also has Orochimaru, and Uchiha Fugaku, who is known as the fierce-eyed, are not simple ninjas."

Hearing the unanimous opinions of the Zhongnin, Chiyo closed his eyes for a while, opened them, and said, "As I said before, this is a good opportunity. There is no harm in testing it out, if things really work out as they should. As we expected, then there is no need to delay the battle indefinitely, after all, we can only delay it until March next year at most."

Chiyo's words silenced the Sagakushi Joinin.

Indeed, the material supply for the 7,000 ninjas is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, according to the information passed by Iwakage, Iwakaku in the country of grass seems to be very eager, hoping that Sandyin can put pressure on Konoha and smash the alliance between Yuyin and Konoha as soon as possible.

The reason why Iwagakura is so eager is because of Konoha's rookie ninja leader - Yellow Flash Nami Kaze Minato.

A young hero who can perfectly control time and space ninjutsu.

Even in the Land of Rain, they have often heard the name of yellow flashes recently.

He smashed the Yanyin supply point by himself, and in the Yanyin camp, he was unscathed.

In the blitzkrieg, no one in the ninja world can stand above him.

More terrifying than Konoha White Fang.

The shadow of the famous tree of people, they will not despise the genius of Konoha.

When the original Konoha Baiya rose, he was about the same age. In just a few years, he became the confidant of the major Ninja villages.

If Iwakakura loses on the battlefield of the land of grass, Konoha will then transfer the yellow flash to the battlefield of the land of rain... the consequences are unimaginable.

At least how Sha Yin protects his materials is an extremely difficult question.

It is difficult for Konoha to maintain an alliance with Yuyin at this moment, and Sandyin may not be much better.

Losing Iwagak's containment power, Sandyin can't fight Konoha alone.

If Kazuki Sandai was still alive... Thinking of this, all the Sandyin ninjas at the meeting sighed in their hearts.

Joining the three generations of Kazekage did not disappear, but led them to fight against Konoha, even if Yuyin Village was involved, it would not be scary.

It's true that Hanzo is strong, and their three generations of Kazekage are also enough to contain them. As for Yuyin's other ninjas, they are nothing but a mob.

"Then, give it a try. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything. If you miss this good opportunity, there may not be another good opportunity like this before March next year."

"Seconded."

All of the Sandyin Jōnin are resolute people. Even if they hesitated and worried at first, considering the actual situation, it is a rare opportunity to seize the 'timing' in the secret letter.

Although there are certain risky behaviors, as long as Sandyin operates properly, even if he fails, he will not lose many people and can be completely evacuated.

"Then it's decided. The specific arrangements are made. I will hold a meeting again the night before the operation. Now I will disband and control the people in the camp. Don't let Hanzo and Orochimaru notice the abnormality on our side."

Chiyo looked solemn.

"Yes."

◎

After reading the letter sent by Orochimaru, Hanzo fell silent.

Konoha will suspend material assistance to Yuyin next month.

Hanzo had expected this incident, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Indeed, Konoha and Sandyin can't afford to delay any further. At this time, Yuyin's best choice is to stay out of the way.

But... at this moment, Yuyin has a strong hatred for Sandyin, and staying out of it is just a nonsense.

Even if he is the leader of Yuyin, his words may not be useful at this moment.

But when hatred arises, the fight will end only if one side is completely trampled underfoot.

Therefore, Yuyin could not stay out of it.

Orochimaru also saw this, and at the end of the letter, he also attached a decision to fight Shayin and a road map.

"Are you blatantly persecuting the old man?"

Hanzo looked at the contents of the letter, in addition to being full of anger, there was also infinite sadness in his heart.

Once upon a time, as a demigod, he would be used to such a degree by a young man.

And in the last ninja war, his subordinates were defeated.

What Orochimaru uses is not a conspiracy, but the general trend, the general trend of Konoha.

Faced with such a general trend, Hanzo can only compromise.

No matter how reluctant he was, reality would force him to follow the route that Orochimaru had set for him.

Hanzo wondered whether the **** massacres that took place in the Land of Rain more than a year ago were caused by Sa Yin.

Although all the evidence points to Shayin, Shayin's Chiyo is powerless to refute it. It was the ninjas of Shayin Village who slaughtered a large number of villagers in the Land of Rain.

"Ugh…"

Hanzo sighed.

I am old.

"After defeating Sa Yin, it's time to think about the heir."

In the blink of an eye, he has reached this age.

However, Hanzo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of Yuyin's current situation.

Where will the heir come from?

In other words, which young man in Yuyin Village is now able to provoke the lead?

◎

Hanzo went out with dozens of rainy ninjas to explore the way.

Mainly to pull out the nails of the nearby Sand Hidden ninjas.

He felt that a great war would soon sweep across the entire country of Rain.

Before that, you must be well prepared.

Once Konoha no longer provides Yuyin supplies, Yuyin's situation will be even more worrying.

In order to pull him onto the chariot, Konoha's three generations of Hokage promised that after defeating Sandyin, they would give Yuyin a large amount of money in the name of Konoha.

Hanzo can still trust that ninjutsu doctor.

The other party is a shameless person, and he doesn't like to provoke right and wrong. In order to ensure the safety around the Fire Nation, appeasing Yuyin is indeed in line with his style.

The premise is to defeat Sandyin. If the action fails, not only Konoha, but also Yuyin will suffer major trauma.

"Lord Hanzo, there seems to be movement ahead."

The deputy next to him, Kanzo, pointed to the front.

Hanzo also noticed that there was a group of people blocking the road ahead.

Noticed that they were not dressed as ninjas, but ordinary villagers in the Land of Rain.

What are these people doing here blocking the way?

Hanzo came here with a few ninjas, not worried about what threat these ordinary people could pose.

"Lord Hanzo... Is that Mr. Hanzo?"

A thin old man walked out tremblingly from the line.

With a scrawny body, he was worried that he would suddenly fall down while walking.

Holding the cane in his hand, he walked to Hanzo step by step.

"I'm Hanzo."

Hanzo answered him.

"That's great, I'm Fang Zhu, do you remember? Thirty years ago, you saved the lives of everyone in our village at the hands of the enemy."

The old man named Fang Zhu said excitedly.

To be honest, Hanzo didn't remember this old man named 'Fangsuke', but what the other party said did seem to have happened.

Thirty years ago, it was not long after he took charge of Yuyin Village.

At that time, with an indomitable heart of justice and peace, he was determined to change this country that could only cry.

As a result, he led a large number of rainy ninjas, and fought with his colleagues several times in the battle, fighting their scarred bodies to clear all kinds of chaos in the country of rain.

As a result, he left a lot of dark wounds on his body at that time, and now his strength is seriously declining.

There was no way, Yuyin Village was only supported by him at that time. He couldn't fall, and he couldn't hide in the back. He could only fight with one sword and one sword to create a **** path and open up light for the country of rain.

At that time, he couldn't remember how many people he had saved and how many ninjas he had killed in the Land of Rain.

This old man named 'Fang Zhu' and his village were just one of the targets he saved.

At that time, my heart was only fighting, becoming stronger, and changing the country. Therefore, Hanzo did not remember very well about other things.

He considers himself not a person who likes to recall sadness very much.

Looking at the ravines and wrinkles on the old man Fang Zhu's face, his palms seemed to be covered with a layer of wrinkled skin, his complexion was dark, his eyes were cloudy, and his hair was sparse.

It is an image of poverty and frailty.

He looks older than his age.

This is all because of the continuous wars in the Land of Rain and the lack of food.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Hanzo asked softly.

"I heard that Hanzo-sama is teaching ninjas from those big countries, so I want to contribute to Hanzo-sama. It doesn't matter if we don't have enough to eat, you warfighters must eat enough to have the strength to drive the invaders out. "

Fang Zhu said loudly.

Saying that, there were two young and strong men who were reluctant to go out with the only remaining food in the village, and put the bag containing the food in front of Yuyin Ninja.

The two males were also tall and thin, with pale faces, due to malnutrition.

"…"

Silence has ruled this place all of a sudden.

Hanzo silently and sadly looked at the two small half-bags of food on the ground, but didn't pick it up.

The rest of the rainy ninjas were also silent, angry, humiliated, with a little warmth in their eyes, something wanted to flow out.

The Land of Rain... Has it reached this point?

How can you feed the people of a village with this little food?

"Lord Hanzo, please accept a little of our favor."

Fang Zhu said in a pleading tone.

It seems that Hanzo looks down on this little food.

Hanzo still didn't speak, but swept over the villagers behind the old man.

The silent old man, the puzzled and helpless young man, the woman couldn't bear to hold the child, the child stretched out his hand to the bag of food, giggling innocently, his face covered with a lot of ashes.

Hanzo picked up the two bags containing the grain, and his actions made the villagers look at him even more eagerly.

"Fang Assistant, right? I accept your wishes, but we can't accept these two bags of grain."

Hanzo put the two bags of food back into Fang Assistant's hands.

Saying that, ignoring Fangsuke's shouts behind him, Hanzo turned around and left this sad place with the rainy ninja.

"Go back and divide the food a little."

When Hanzo said this, he felt that he was a few decades old again, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't show any strength in his body.

"Lord Hanzo!"

Kanzo wanted to say something, but Hanzo interrupted again:

"Everyone will leave five days of dry food, and then have a showdown with Sha Yin! This old man doesn't want to delay any longer, this battle can only be won but not lost!"

I can't go back anymore. Hanzo sighed inwardly.

Walking forward, Hanzo did not dare to look back at those lovely and sad villagers.

Afraid of their appearance.

Because the more he saw these people, the more ashamed Hanzo became.

He couldn't face himself right now.

It will remind him of the fearless self in the past, but now he indulges in false honors and tragic power struggles.

He became the kind of person he hated the most in the past.

Since when did the old man become timid? Hanzo looked at the vast wind and rain, no one could answer his question.

◎

Except for the sound of the rain, everything around was silent.

Looking down on the countless ditches on the earth from the cliff, it is a characteristic scenic spot formed by the confluence of rainwater.

Hanzo was drenched in the rain, only in this way would he be more awake now.

His fingers were trembling, and his heart was also tense.

The current self... to what extent can it be achieved?

Feeling that the body is not as good as the day, and the will to fight is not as strong as in the past. After a few days, he and Konoha launched a general attack on Sandyin, can they really win?

Hanzo was confused.

Because of the old man's "Fang Zhu", the determination that was made with enthusiasm for a while began to waver again.

Fear.

Uneasy.

As long as he gave up fighting, he could still rule Yuyin for more than ten years, enjoying the respect of others and the wonderful taste of power.

Why do you want to fight?

Do you want to give up at this time?

After all, Shayin's goal is only Konoha, he just needs to bow his head to Shayin a little and compromise again, maybe he can resolve the crisis.

In that case, battles can be avoided, and he is still a demigod of Yuyin.

But thinking of the devastated country of rain, where there are poor people who can't get enough to eat, the country of rain has been reduced to this level, can you really compromise and back down again?

She compromised with Sha Yin, will Sha Yin really let him go?

Hanzo felt that his mind was very confused.

On the one hand, I want to compromise, on the other hand, I want to fight.

"Master Hanzo."

An unfamiliar voice was calling him.

Hanzo turned around and saw three unknown young men, two males and one female.

Not very young, less than twenty years old.

Young people of all ages.

Their bodies are also a little thin, which should be caused by not having enough to eat for a long time.

On her forehead, she wears Yuyin's ninja forehead guard.

"who are you?"

Hanzo asks about their identities.

"My name is Yahiko, and the two next to me are Nagato and Konan."

The leading young man introduced himself.

Hanzo was sure that he had never heard of the names of the three people. They might be the ninjas from the bottom of Yuyin Village, standing there and waiting for them to follow.

"The three of us have never heard of the names of the three of us as Hanzo-sama. But we have wanted to communicate face-to-face with Hanzo-sama more than once, and now we finally found the opportunity. We come from an organization called 'Xiao', I the leader of the organization,"

Yahiko walked out of the queue and looked at Hanzo without being humble or arrogant.

Xiao? Hanzo was startled, as if he remembered the name of this organization.

A ninja from Yuyin Village, a self-organized organization, heard that he takes peace as his mission, and has a good reputation in the country of rain.

Looking at this young man named Yahiko, his body is thin, but his eyes are full of stubborn and unyielding heads. That is something called ideal, which is clearly reflected in his eyes.

Unlike many young people in Yuyin.

This young man named "Yahiko" is ready to sacrifice for his ideals at any time.

This will, will not be defeated by any hardships.

Hanzo was a little dazed.

In the past, he had also had such high spirits.

Had such a firm look.

I have had this dream of not giving in to anyone.

He once also vowed to bring peace to this country and the world, to kill evil parties, to shed blood, to be indomitable, to be young and vigorous, and to think that he could change the world by himself.

Now, he has been changed by the world.

"What's the matter with you?"

Hanzo didn't like Yahiko's look.

Fear, inferiority, disgust.

"I want to ask Hanzo-sama to give up fighting Sandyin. Doing so will only result in unnecessary sacrifices."

Yahiko expressed his thoughts.

"Now is not an era that this old man can decide. This is the will of the whole Yuyin."

Hanzo shook his head.

"I know, so I want to get the help of Hanzo-sama. With the fame of Hanzo-sama, it is completely possible for Konoha and Sandy to sit down, have a good discussion, and stop making peace. The result of the war is too painful."

Yahiko said sincerely.

After finally approaching Hanzo, I must tell him my idea of peace.

Only in this way can the rain country be prevented from being hurt again.

"Shayin has killed many innocent people in the Land of Rain. This is a battle of revenge!"

Hanzo replied.

"Hate will only bring hatred. If this goes on, the country of rain will never be peaceful. And according to our investigation, the massacre more than a year ago was very suspicious. I suspect that some conspirators are secretly planning to pull the rain. Hide into the water."

Yahiko is also firm in his opinion.

"I've already fallen into the water. The important thing now is not to find the truth, but to repel Shayin, so that the land of rain can restore people's livelihood as quickly as possible."

"But that would cost a lot of people."

"Isn't that a normal thing for war dead?"

"So I want to resolve the war through peace talks! I believe that as long as everyone can sit together, they must be able to understand each other!"

yes.

This is what Yahiko thinks.

But he didn't have such fame and strength, so Konoha and Sandyin kept him out.

But Hanzo is different. He is the leader of Yuyin, a demigod who shines brightly in the Second Ninja World War.

As long as they get his help, the people from Sandyin and Konoha will definitely give Hanzo face and sit down and have a good talk.

This is the reputation and strength of a demigod.

Makes Konoha and Sandyin unable to ignore his influence in the Land of Rain.

As long as they grasp this opportunity, they can bring peace to the Rain Country.

There is no need to win victory in the form of war, which will kill a lot of people.

Yahiko doesn't want to see more people fall victim to the war.

This country has sacrificed enough.

He wants to awaken the conscience of those great powers, or the justice they have abandoned.

Then, this idea can be spread to the world, so that all countries in the whole world will no longer start wars, and everyone can grow up happily and worry-free in peace.

Such a beautiful and pure ideal is Akatsuki's ultimate goal.

After Hanzo heard Yahiko's words, he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was different from his past.

Because although he was naive in the past, he wasn't so naive.

Originally, I wanted to teach Yahiko a lesson, but when I heard him say something like a "genius"... Hanzo couldn't bear to teach this innocent young man a lesson.

Who taught the stupid ninja?

In the Land of Rain, there are such innocent ninjas, which is something Hanzo never expected.

Want to laugh a little bit unable to laugh, the corner of the mouth is bitter.

Sadness, heartache.

If the young ninjas of Yuyin Village are like this, how will they gain a foothold in the ninja world in the future?

Hanzo felt that the future of Yuyin Village was dark.

If the war can be resolved through peace talks, will the Rain Land become like this?

"Lord Hanzo, do you agree with me by not speaking?"

Yahiko looked at Hanzo with hopeful eyes.

Hanzo didn't speak. He walked to Yahiko's side, and when he passed by him, he spoke slowly:

"Let's lie in the coffin with such a naive idea. This old man wastes a little time just to listen to your boring remarks. What a shame."

If it is said that, as a demigod, what he abandoned was his past beliefs as a ninja, then this young man named Yahiko had his ninja beliefs deviated from the very beginning.

He is not suitable for this ninja world.

In this world of ninjas that are either lunatics or murderous people, people with such naive ideas have only one way to die. Not only that, they will also pull others to death together.

The smile on Yahiko's face stiffened.

Hanzo left the cliff and walked back down the mountain to the camp.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Hanzo suddenly heard footsteps approaching him from behind.

He turned around and thought it was the young man named Yahiko, but it turned out to be another man with long red hair.

The hair on his forehead can cover his eyes.

"You are Yahiko's comrade, right? Is there anything else? The old man's words just now are very clear. You know that you are not suitable for the battlefield. It is better to go back to the village to receive protection."

Hanzo gave a pertinent opinion.

This is still because of the fact that they are ninjas from Yuyin Village.

"Lord Hanzo, my name is Nagato. Did you deny Yahiko's idea just now?"

Nagato asked.

"Yes."

"Yahiko's idea is a bit naive...but is it really impossible to realize it?"

I don't want to answer this question.

Because Hanzo is very tired of people who can't get in the oil and salt.

But at this time, he felt that Nagato had a very special feeling.

When he asked this sentence, he was not questioning, but seeking some kind of answer.

Hanzo sighed and said, "I don't know why that person named Yahiko has such naive thoughts... There were people like him in the past."

"past?"

"God of Ninjas - Senju Hashima!"

Hanzo uttered the name of a ninja that no one knows about.

Nagato's expression changed.

"In the past, Senju Hakuma also advocated similar ideals, ending the war in the form of talks... But that was based on his invincible strength. Otherwise, no matter how big his mind was, he would not make others look good. Look."

"But when I heard that the God of Ninja existed, there was no war."

"What about after that?"

Hanzo's question silenced Nagato.

after?

This kind of question does not need to be discussed, and the answer can be known.

Because Nagato himself was the one who experienced it.

"The **** of ninja died, the first ninja war broke out soon, and his younger brother Hokage Senju Hashima died in the war, and then the second ninja war broke out, and now there is a second ninja war. Three times... In more than ten years, there will be a fourth ninja war. He seems to have changed something, but in fact nothing has changed. Young man, you should wake up from your dream, otherwise your future will be bleak. "

Hanzo shook his head, not wanting to go on.

"...In other words, as long as the power called 'invincible' exists, it can guarantee eternal peace, right?"

Nagato suddenly asked this question softly.

Hanzo was startled, he didn't expect Nagato to ask such a question.

The widened pupils were full of astonishment.

He saw Nagato who looked straight at him and raised his head.

And under the red hair blown by the wind... a pair of eyes.

Reincarnation Eye! ?
