Chapter 56 Konoha won't allow someone this awesome around! (Seeking first subscription!)

All the prisoners were handed over to the Rain Village for further interrogation. At the same time, as a ninja village, its intelligence agency also began to operate at high speed.

On the contrary, Hoshino and the others were temporarily settled by the Rain Ninja and quietly waited for information from the Rain Ninja.

As dusk fell.

The ANBU squad, led by Takeshi Kamishiro, finally returned to Konoha and immediately reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and then immediately ordered the ANBU squad to send Takeshi Kamishiro to the interrogation department.

Previously, the information obtained by Hoshino was relatively brief. Now, it is necessary to interrogate Kamishiro Takeshi in a comprehensive manner to see how much village information he has leaked to other ninja villages.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then sent someone to summon Danzo, and after explaining the situation in the Land of Rain, he said, "Hideaki Hoshino did a good job, but to cooperate with Hanzo, we need someone of sufficient influence to step forward."

He was magnanimous enough not to mind Xingxiaxiu's overstepping his bounds.

Looking at Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi solemnly said, "Danzo, you should go there yourself!"

"This will be a perfect opportunity to see just how ambitious Hanzo really is!"

Danzo nodded, then stood up: "I'll set off immediately."

……

Inside a room in Amegakure (Rain Village).

Looking at Hoshinobu sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Shimura Daichi was not so calm. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Katsu, are we just going to wait for the Rain Ninja's intelligence like this?"

As soon as he spoke, Inuzuka Ryo and the other Root ninjas all looked at Hoshino Hide.

Hoshita Shu slowly opened his eyes, but looked at Aburame Ryoma.

Aburame Ryoma immediately understood and said, "No one is eavesdropping nearby."

Hoshino Hide then looked at Shimura Daichi and said, "Our strength is limited. Unless we contact the village's intelligence system, but that would be detrimental to our cooperation with Amegakure."

"Furthermore, we don't have enough access to the village's intelligence system."

He subdued Shimura Daichi and others with his strength, but he couldn't command the people Konoha had deployed in the Land of Rain with just a few words.

Moreover, as Xingxia Xiu said.

This is not appropriate and will provoke hostility from the Rain Ninja.

It's one thing for people to know that Konoha has made arrangements in the Land of Rain, but it's quite another for you to blatantly display them in front of them.

and.

Hoshita Hide continued, "Don't worry, Lord Danzo should arrive soon."

"At that time, Lord Danzo will naturally make the decision."

Shimura Daichi suddenly understood, then let out a long breath, feeling that most of the pressure on his shoulders had instantly disappeared.

Time flies.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

As Hoshino Hide said, Danzo arrived very quickly.

They traveled through the night and arrived at Amegakure at seven o'clock in the morning to meet with Hanzo.

Half an hour later, Hoshino and the others also met Danzo.

"A, you did a great job this time."

In front of all the Root ninjas, Danzo did not hold back in praising Hoshino Hideaki.

Although he was not as magnanimous as Hiruzen Sarutobi, he also liked capable subordinates.

Of course, he also has the ability to destroy a talent who could potentially threaten Konoha.

Faced with Danzo's praise, Hoshino Hide lowered his head, his tone excited: "It's all thanks to your guidance, Master."

"Hanzo is willing to cooperate because his subordinates are his men."

Danzo was satisfied with the answer. He waved for the others to leave, leaving only Hoshino Hide and Shimura Daichi before asking in a deep voice, "What do you think of Hanzo's cooperation with us this time?"

Shimura Daichi glanced at Hoshino Hideaki, thought for a moment, and said, "Lord Danzo, the reason Hanzo chose to cooperate with us is probably to give the Iwa ninja a false impression and intimidate them."

Danzo remained noncommittal: "A, what do you think?"

Hoshita Hide bowed slightly and said, "Lord Danzo, I believe that Hanzo has very great ambitions."

Danzo raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

How do you know?

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Although Hanzo has the title of demigod, Amegakure is much weaker than the five great ninja villages."

"But Hanzo's tough stance towards the Iwagakure ninja shows that he is not afraid of Iwagakure."

"It seems that my subordinate persuaded Hanzo to cooperate with us, but those few words from my subordinate are clearly not enough."

"Hanzo agreed so easily, which shows that he himself had the same idea."

Danzo nodded slightly after listening, then gestured for Hoshino to continue.

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Hanzo's choice to cooperate with us is indeed intended to use the village to intimidate the Iwa ninja and create the illusion that the Iwa ninja are allied with the village."

"But I believe that Hanzo has another intention, which is to show us goodwill and mislead our judgment."

Danzo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Shimura Daichi was somewhat puzzled: "A, showing goodwill is understandable. But what is he trying to mislead us about?"

Xingxia Xiu analyzed, "Hanzo, who has the title of demigod and is the leader of Amegakure, if I were him, I would definitely not be content with Amegakure's current status."

"Why can't he be the Rain Shadow? After all, he's a demigod, possessing the title of God of Shinobi, second only to the First Hokage."

"To the north of the Land of Rain are the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, to the west is the Land of Birds, to the southwest is the Land of Wind, and to the southeast is the Land of Rivers."

"If Amegakure wants to become the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world and stand on equal footing with Konoha, it can only take on the missions of the three countries: the Land of Grass, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Rivers."

"Then he will have to face us, the three great ninja villages of Iwagakure and Sunagakure."

"Because neither we, nor Iwagakure or Sunagakure, will allow Amegakure to become powerful."

"10. If you were Hanzo, which country would you conquer first?"

Shimura Daichi pondered for a moment and then said, "The Land of Rivers!"

"Of the three countries, neither the Land of Birds nor the Land of Rivers has a ninja village, but the Land of Rivers is much wealthier."

"Taking over the River Country will allow us to strengthen our forces much faster."

Hoshino Hide nodded: "That's right, I also think it's the River Country."

"The Land of Birds is not wealthy enough, and the Land of Grass has the Grass Village. Moreover, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack for the Rain Village. Attacking the Grass Village first will only alert the three great ninja villages and waste precious time."

"The River Country and the Rain Country were originally one country, connected by a large number of waterways. Going downstream, one can quickly occupy important strategic locations."

"But neither we nor Sunagakure will allow Amegakure to take over the Land of River."

"But Sunagakure is located in the Land of Wind, so their reaction won't be as quick as ours."

"Hanzo's cooperation with us can mislead us and lower our guard against him."

After listening, Danzo asked, "A, given this situation, what do you think should be done?"

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "Lord Danzo, cooperating with Hanzo can also lower his guard."

The latest novel is first published here!

"And Hanzo and Amegakure... Konoha cannot allow a more powerful ninja village to exist beside it, nor can it allow anyone to become the next God of Shinobi, surpassing the Hokage!"

To put it bluntly, Konoha cannot allow such an awesome person around them!

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

"Since Hanzo has ambitions, we might as well fuel them."

Hoshino's voice carried a hint of coldness: "Let's fuel Hanzo's ambition, then crush him in the mud, break his spine, and make him never dare to covet the flesh of Konoha again."

"We might as well let him make a move against the River Country. Once he does, we can directly invade the Rain Country and turn it into a battlefield."

"At that time, not only us, but also Iwagakure and Sunagakure will definitely take action against Amegakure at the same time."

"Even if Hanzo were a demigod, he wouldn't stand a chance against the three great ninja villages!"

Danzo nodded slightly, about to speak, when there was a knock on the door, followed by Inuzuka Ryo's voice: "Lord Danzo, Kuro Amegakure has arrived. We've gathered enough information about Iwagakure, so we can make our move."

A cold glint flashed in Danzo's eyes: "Indeed, he has great ambitions. It seems he was prepared all along."

Hoshita Hide nodded in agreement: "Lord Danzo is wise. If we hadn't had to wait for Lord Danzo, we probably could have acted directly last night."

Amegakure is quite strong.

It's impossible for the Rain Ninja not to have some knowledge of the Iwa ninja's whereabouts.

Adding to the information from yesterday's captured Iwa ninja, it shouldn't be difficult to trace the source.

By the time we start taking action today, the Iwa ninja might already be aware of what's going on.

of course.

For Hanzo...

The importance of this operation lies not in how many Iwa ninja are killed, but in the operation itself.

Let's go!

Danzo turned and left.

Hideaki Hoshino and Daichi Shimura followed behind, one on the left and one on the right.

Once outside, after meeting up with Kuroyu, a Jonin of the Rain Village, the Rain Village ninja vanished one by one at Kuroyu's command, heading off to various locations.

Xingxia Xiu could tell that these people were there to relay orders.

In other words, the Rain Ninja have tracked down some of the Iwa Ninja and have already made arrangements, just waiting for the order to act.

After the Rain Ninja left, Kuroyu said to Danzo, "Those were just minor characters. The next one is the key, and we need everyone from Konoha to join in."

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Of course, we will do our best."

Hei Yu nodded, then leaped into the air.

Danzo immediately followed, followed by Hoshinobu and other Root ninjas.

After leaving Amegakure, the group headed north, crossing rivers, traversing plains, and entering the mountains.

As they traversed through the mountains and forests, the black rain in front of them suddenly stopped, and then Hoshino saw several rain ninjas emerge from their hiding place.

"Lord Kuroyu, three Iwa ninja have left that base."

Upon hearing the report, Hei Yu remained unconcerned: "Launch an attack and force them out."

"clear!"

After receiving the order, the Rain Ninja disappeared.

Hei Yu followed closely behind, with Xingxia Xiu and the others trailing behind. Before long, they reached the mountaintop and looked down at a valley below.

Xingxia Xiu squinted, noticing the rain ninjas rapidly approaching the valley.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle rang out, and the battle broke out.

The Rain Ninja and Iwa Ninja sentries clashed, but more Rain Ninja broke through the sentries and stormed into the valley.

shhhhhh!

A large number of kunai shot out, heading straight for the mountain wall.

Immediately following was a deafening roar, and a series of explosions caused the mountainside to collapse, revealing a hidden cave.

shhhhhh!

Rock bullets pierced the air, bursting forth densely from the cave, scattering vegetation and debris. Yu Ren was unable to dodge in time and was pierced through.

But many more Rain Ninja had prepared their ninjutsu.

Rumble!

The water surged and poured into the cave.

At that moment, on a higher part of the mountain wall, a stone gate opened, and Iwa ninjas charged out.

Upon seeing this, Danzo ordered, "Attack!"

Many Root ninjas, including Hoshino Hide, disappeared from the spot without saying a word.

While joining the battle, Hoshino also noticed that Kuroyu, the commander of the Rain Ninja, rushed out from the mountaintop. The water beneath his feet gathered and turned into a raging river, carrying him down and sweeping an Iwa Ninja into the river, killing him with ease.

A very powerful Water Release ninja!

Let's keep working after we finish eating!
