Chapter 603: Danzo in Action

Having left Shimura Danzo's subordinates alone for more than a day, Hanzo asked the Rain Ninja to bring him to the office after the latter requested to see him many times.

"I hope what you want to say is worth my time." Hanzo sat on the office chair and looked coldly at the Root Ninja in front of him.

If the Root Ninja hadn't emphasized that the matter was very important and only Hanzo, the leader of Rain Ninja Village, could make the decision, Hanzo would not bother to see him himself.

He is not the only ninja in Rain Ninja Village, Hanzo also has subordinates.

Feeling Hanzo's cold eyes, the Root Ninja couldn't help but breathe tight.

"Hanzo, this is a matter of life and death for Rain Ninja Village. There is no possibility of wasting your time." The Root Ninja quickly adjusted his state and said seriously.

"It's about the life and death of Rain Ninja Village?" Hanzo's eyes became sharp and unfriendly.

His Rain Ninja Village was well managed and did not participate in the Ninja World War at all. How could there be such a big crisis?

The Root Ninja felt uncomfortable being stared at by Hanzo, but as a specially trained ninja, he still gritted his teeth and continued: "That's right."

"But this is also an opportunity for you and the Rain Village, an opportunity to eliminate the opponent."

"Opponent?" Hanzo frowned and looked at the Root Ninja.

"Don't you want to destroy the Ninja Sect and kill Sosuke who ruined your reputation?" The Root Ninja said in a tempting tone.

Before the failure of the siege and killing Sosuke, Hanzo gave people the impression of being a top-level strong man with extraordinary demeanor in the ninja world.

After losing to Sosuke, Hanzo used cooperation as an excuse to lure the Ninja Sect to kill, which almost destroyed the good image he had accumulated in the first half of his life.

Now when people talk about Hanzo, they no longer think of the demigod Hanzo who oppressed the ninja world, but the ninja master Sosuke who can suppress water escape with fire escape.

The Root Ninja couldn't think of a reason why Hanzo didn't hate Sosuke.

However, the Root Ninja was not greeted by Hanzo's negative answer, but by the ruthless gaze that looked at the dead, followed by an overwhelming momentum.

Huh!!

Hanzo's chakra burst out, and the terrifying killing intent enveloped the Root Ninja.

The Root Ninja's body stiffened instantly, his face turned pale, and he felt a chill that penetrated deep into his bones rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

At this moment, the Root Ninja knew very clearly who the ninja in front of him was.

This was the demigod Hanzo who was famous in the ninja world as a ninja from a small country, and made the five major ninja villages a little afraid, not just some cat or dog.

Hanzo looked at the Root Ninja with a cold look. He couldn't deal with Sosuke, and he couldn't control you, a small Konoha ninja?

Hanzo was really a little bit overwhelmed, or was it Shimura Danzo, who was destroying the Ninja Sect and Sosuke again, what did Shimura Danzo think of him?

There will indeed be some conflicts when the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan coexist, but if the Rain Village goes to fight the Ninja Clan now, it will be a matter of life and death.

Hanzo doesn't know whether Sosuke's water escape is stronger than his, but Sosuke's overall strength is definitely stronger than his.

Moreover, the Ninja Clan also has Nagato Kakuzu, and the Rain Village has no strong people who can match him.

In the case of imbalance in high-end combat power, the Rain Ninja does not have the rich middle-level combat power like the five major ninja villages. If the Ninja Clan fights with the Rain Village, the Rain Village will definitely lose.

It can even be said that the Rain Country will lose, because the Rain Village will lose, and the Ninja Clan will not be able to win easily.

If the war with the Rain Village begins, the already scarce middle and lower-level combat power of the Ninja Clan will suffer a heavy blow, and it will be unable to protect the Rain Country.

"My grievances with Sosuke, and the grievances between the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan are all internal affairs of the Rain Country, and there is no need to bother Konoha." Hanzo saw the Root Ninja sweating profusely, and retracted his momentum and said lightly.

It was also because Konoha was now so powerful that the Rain Village could not afford to offend it, otherwise Hanzo would have wanted to kill this Root Ninja.

He started by saying that the Rain Village was in a life-and-death crisis, and then he said that he wanted to kill Sosuke and destroy the Ninja Clan.

"Huh." The Root Ninja panted quickly. The pressure that Hanzo had just brought to him was really great.

"Master Hanzo, this matter is not as simple as you think." The Root Ninja did not give up.

Shimura Danzo gave a death order, and he must persuade Hanzo and the Root to surround and kill Sosuke no matter what.

"This time, we Konoha will also send forces to help you kill..."

Before the Root Ninja finished speaking, Hanzo interrupted and said, "I have caught a cold recently and need to rest more. Let's talk about it another day."

The Root Ninja looked at Hanzo speechlessly. He looked so energetic that he didn't look like he had a cold.

But before the Root Ninja could think of how to persuade Hanzo, the Rain Ninja Anbu suddenly appeared and took him out of the office.

After the whole show, Hanzo also left the office and returned home.

"Shimura Danzo, what on earth do you want to do?" Hanzo went into the study to read, but he couldn't help thinking of what happened just now, and couldn't concentrate at all.

He couldn't understand why Shimura Danzo wanted to drag him to kill Sosuke and destroy the Ninja Clan.

Shimura Danzo's reason before was to ask him to mediate the dispute between Iwagakure and Konoha, and then he happened to see the Ninja Clan in trouble, so he helped out.

Because Shimura Danzo was well prepared, even if Hanzo recalled it now, he couldn't find too many faults with Shimura Danzo.

But Shimura Danzo's previous reason is not valid now, because Konoha doesn't need him to mediate now. Konoha is the advantage in the war with Iwagakure, and Konoha just annihilated a large number of Iwagakure ninjas not long ago.

And now Hanzo also knows that the Ninja Clan is an organization that truly pursues peace, not a ninja organization that makes trouble under the banner of peace.

So Hanzo couldn't figure out what Shimura Danzo's motive was. Is there any benefit for Shimura Danzo to do this?

"Sosuke, Ninja Clan." Hanzo, who couldn't concentrate on reading the book, put the book down and sighed slightly.

He didn't know what Shimura Danzo's motive was, but the Rain Village did have a reason to attack the Ninja Clan.

Because the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan can't coexist. At present, there is no country in the ninja world that is one country and two villages.

Although the Ninja Clan didn't say that it was a ninja village, in Hanzo's opinion, it was a ninja village.

The Rain Village is now cooperating with the Ninja Clan because the current situation is chaotic and they have a common interest in protecting the Rain Country.

With this common interest, many problems between them can be covered up.

Once the Ninja World War is over, those covered-up problems will be exposed, and then confrontation will be a matter of time.

"Even if only one of the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village can be left, it is also the business of the Rain Country." Hanzo said softly, as if he was talking to himself.

Maybe the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village will have a battle, but not now.

...

Lao Zi didn't go to find Sosuke immediately after waking up, and waited until after 2 pm to go to the Ninja Sect.

Because he felt that Sosuke's time should not be all-day free, but he would not be busy all day.

Lao Zi was worried about disturbing Sosuke's work, so he went to find Sosuke in the afternoon.

The fact is indeed as Lao Zi thought. As the leader of an emerging ninja force, Mu Yue rarely has nothing to do all day.

When Lao Zi arrived at the Ninja Sect, Mu Yue was still talking about school matters with Kakuzu.

"I think the ninja school can be put aside. There are still too few ninjas in the Ninja Sect. Counting the newly absorbed ninjas, there are only exactly 208 people.

To open a ninja school, at least dozens of ninjas must be drawn out, so that other work will slow down, and it takes too much time for the ninja school to train ninjas, which is not conducive to early development." Kakuzu shook his head and said.

Ninja school must be run, but Kakuzu thinks it is not a good idea to run it now.

Because the Ninja Sect is currently in a period of urgent development, if those dozens of ninjas are not drawn out to be teachers, but to do other work, the development brought to the Ninja Sect within three years will definitely be better than teaching.

"Since there are few ninjas, then hire ordinary people to be teachers to handle some chores. The number of students can also be limited, and the standards can be raised to select the best for admission." Mu Yue said his solution.

Although Mu Yue was just a normal school student in his previous life and did not really become a teacher, in the Naruto world, Mu Yue really worked as a teacher for a long time and knew the Ninja School very well.

In Mu Yue's opinion, some of the jobs of Ninja teachers in Ninja School can be completely replaced by ordinary people.

For example, Chinese, mathematics, history and so on, these theoretical courses have zero demand for Ninja knowledge, and ordinary people can also take them.

There are also some clerical jobs, which are also positions that ordinary people can be competent for.

"It seems that this is also possible." Kakuzu thought about it and found that according to Sosuke's ideas, it really doesn't take many people.

Kakuzu has never been a teacher. He only knows about the school because Sosuke said he wanted to open a school and then he went to investigate and understand it.

Since all the teachers in the ninja schools in the ninja villages are ninjas, Kakuzu also subconsciously thinks that all the teachers in the ninja schools must be ninjas.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a waste of ninja resources.

However, the general ninja village is not short of ninja schools.

"Not only ninja schools should have them, but ordinary schools should also start planning." Mu Yue continued.

Mu Yue knows the importance of education. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. If you want to truly change the world, one person is not enough.

Just when the two were almost talking, the door of the office was knocked.

"Come in." Mu Yue paused and said.

"Teacher Sosuke, Shirakawa is looking for you." The Shinobi ninja who walked into the office said.

"You ask him to come over." Mu Yue nodded and replied.

Shirakawa is actually Lao Zi. Lao Zi must not use his original name openly in the Rain Country.

In order to facilitate Lao Zi to walk in the Shinobi Sect, Mu Yue greeted the Shinobi ninjas and allowed Lao Zi to move freely in non-important places.

After Lao Zi walked into the office, he saw Kakuzu who was still drinking tea.

"If you have something else to do, you can deal with it first. I'm not in a hurry here." Lao Zi said quickly.

"We have finished talking about it. Let me introduce him to you. He is Kakuzu, the director of the military and financial departments of our Shinobi Sect." Mu Yue introduced Kakuzu with a smile.

Lao Zi looked at Kakuzu. He had never seen Kakuzu, but he was not unfamiliar with Kakuzu's name. After all, Kakuzu could be regarded as the second-in-command of the Shinobi Sect.

"He is Shirakawa, from the Land of Earth..."

Just as Mu Yue introduced Lao Zi's fake identity, Lao Zi shook his head and said, "I am Lao Zi, a former Iwagakure ninja, and I am currently a wandering ninja."

Lao Zi felt that he did not need to hide his identity in front of the top leaders of the Shinobi Sect, because Sosuke and Nagato already knew his identity. If the Shinobi Sect had any intention of harming him, the Iwagakure ninja would have taken him away at night.

"Four-tail Jinchuriki?" Kakuzu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The fewer people who know Lao Zi's identity, the better, so Mu Yue did not deliberately tell Kakuzu about Lao Zi's identity.

"You defected?" Kakuzu couldn't help but ask.

There are only renegade ninjas in the ninja village, and there are no ninjas who quit.

"It depends on how you understand renegade ninjas. If it refers to ninjas who are identified as renegade ninjas by the ninja village, then I should not be considered a renegade ninja." Lao Zi replied.

Lao Zi estimated that he would not be able to become a traitor ninja for a while.

Of course, this was not because Ohnoki was kind, but he just wanted to play the empty city plan so that other ninja villages could not normally estimate the strength of Iwagakure.

"Rebel ninjas still need to be understood. If they leave the ninja village, they will be nothing. If they have not been classified, it only means that they have some concerns, or that what you have done has not reached the point where they are desperate." Kakuzu smiled.

Kakuzu knew a lot about traitor ninjas. After all, when he was a traitor, it was hard to say whether Lao Zi was born or not.

"That's right." Lao Zi nodded in agreement.

Although he ran away, he just ran away.

After chatting with Lao Zi for a few words, Kakuzu glanced at Sosuke.

As the leader of the Ninja Clan, Sosuke was not someone that everyone could see. Lao Zi could directly let the Ninja Clan ninjas find Sosuke here, obviously Sosuke had said hello in advance.

Mu Yue just smiled back and didn't say anything.

Kakuzu retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said:

"Speaking of which, Iwagakure seems to have experienced a big defeat not long ago. Did they put the blame on you?"

There are many traitors in the ninja world. Not every traitor was betrayed by their own village. Many traitors broke the law themselves.

Kakuzu felt that Lao Zi was the one who was betrayed by the village, because if a lawless person defected, Sosuke would usually help to clean up the mess.

"Part of it." Lao Zi thought of what happened after returning to the village and couldn't help but sigh.

"Only part of it, it seems that the top leaders of Iwagakure just want to warn you, not to abandon you, which is much better than what I experienced at the beginning." Kakuzu said after listening.

"You?" Lao Zi looked at Kakuzu in confusion.

He knew Kakuzu, but he didn't know Kakuzu's previous experience.

"I am also a traitor, a traitor from Takigakure." Kakuzu generously talked about his experience.

"That happened a long time ago. The village asked me to go to the Land of Fire alone to assassinate the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

Lao Zi's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Kakuzu. To assassinate the first Hokage, alone, this was not a mission, this was just to die.

Who was Hashirama Senju? He was a terrifying existence known as the God of Ninja, and the most recognized ninja since the era of the Ninja Village.

"I went, but Hashirama Senju was very strong, and my assassination failed. I tried my best to escape back to the Takigakure Village."

Kakuzu's strength became unpredictable in Lao Zi's mind. It was not easy to survive after assassinating the God of Ninja.

"Later, the village imprisoned and severely punished me for failing a major mission, and then I became a traitor."

Although he had guessed the result long ago, Lao Zi was still stunned when he heard the ending of Takigakure Kakuzu.

Facing a mission that was almost certain to die, Kakuzu chose to gamble his life to complete it, while Takigakure Village took advantage of Kakuzu's weakness to sentence him to prison.

This is indeed much worse than his. Kakuzu can live well until now, and Lao Zi thinks it is amazing.

"There is no need to look at me with that kind of eyes. I have made those people pay the price they deserve, and now life is better than before." Kakuzu put down the teacup and said leisurely.

Unlike Lao Zi who left quietly, Kakuzu directly killed all the relevant high-level people and vented his anger.

"You should think more about yourself. You are very important to Iwagakure."

It is no secret that Kakuzu is in the Ninja Sect, but Takigakure has never gone to the Rain Country to cause trouble for the Ninja Sect.

Do the current high-level people of Takigakure understand Kakuzu's suffering? Of course not, because killing Kakuzu is not good, and the Ninja Sect is not an easy bone for Takigakure.

"How did Kakuzu join the Ninja Sect?" Lao Zi couldn't help but be curious.

If he had experienced something like Kakuzu, he might never trust anyone else in his life, nor would he join the ninja organization.
