Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

"If those great ninja villages take the opportunity to counterattack, we Yu ninja will know how many people will die!" Zangyu said anxiously.

Hanzo glared at Zangyu fiercely and gasped, "I know this! But if we don't do this, Sunagakure and Iwagakure will not believe that we have been hit hard. The war will continue and the casualties will be high." Increase, the scope may even expand again, and more of our rain ninjas will die!”

Zangyu's body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master Hanzo, aren't you afraid that these great ninja villages will unite to destroy us?"

Hanzo sighed, staring blankly at the moon outside the window, and murmured to himself, "In the past, I would naturally not do such a thing that would destroy my martial arts. But it is different now. Konoha's strength has broken Without balance, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, even Kirigakure, Kumogakure, they will not let us Ugakure collapse. "

"Konoha can send out a Shirataki quietly, but who knows if there will be a second or third one? I'm not the only one worried about this, I believe every Kage in the Great Ninja Village is worried."

Zangyu understood what Hanzo meant, which was to use Konoha's threat theory as the guiding ideology. Although there was no real information circulating, Shirataki's sudden appearance could be used as a practical basis to prove that Konoha still retains a powerful and unknown power. Strength, and must have great intentions.

You must know that any ninja that reaches the Kage level cannot be trained overnight. This requires a process, and this process cannot leak any information whatsoever.

In the past few years, there have been constant frictions between various countries, large and small. The appearance of any Kage-level powerhouse is no small matter. Whether he is performing a mission or fighting with other ninjas, there will be witnesses, and there will never be any traces left.

But Shirataki is like a ghost without a shadow. No one even knew of his existence before the Shenyingqiu incident. Moreover, Shirataki's ability is different from all the current strong men in Konoha.

What this means, Hanzo feels that all the senior officials of the Ninja Village except Konoha understand. After Shirataki appeared, the Konoha threat theory was no longer Sunagakure's trick, but a real problem.

Giving up part of the territory, cooperating with the enemy to weaken his own strength, quickly diverting the attention of the Great Ninja Village, and making Konoha the target of public criticism instead of Amegakure became Hanzo's latest plan.

There may be a little pain during this process, but it is undoubtedly a choice that can minimize Yu Nin's losses. Hanzo dared to take this risky move precisely because he understood the conflicts between the great ninja villages very well.

In Hanzo's view, the war between the ninja villages will never stop. The entanglement of interests, the chain of hatred, the poison of suspicion... all of this is like a surging torrent, pushing all the ninja villages forward towards the chaotic world. future.

It's just that Hanzo wants to remove Amegakure Village from the main conflict of the war and make it a secondary conflict. Although doing this is very risky, it is not without opportunities. This can be seen from Sunagakure's decisive declaration of war on Konoha, and then Iwagakure's actions against Konoha intensified.

The top leaders of every village are not fools, and any problem that Hanzo can see can also be seen by all Kages. In this case, there is no need to hold on for dear life. When it is time to retreat, take a step back. This is what Hanzo really thinks.

Therefore, it became Hanzo's primary goal to dispel the fear of various countries towards Amegakure as soon as possible, let them lower their guard against Amegakure, and then rush to fight Konoha to the death.

"Sunagakure is already our ally, and what matters now is Iwagakure's attitude." Hanzo explained his thoughts to Zouyu, and slowly said: "It is necessary to properly show our sincerity to Iwagakure. "

"Is it necessary...?" Zangyu lowered his head and repeated silently. After a long while, Zangyu finally raised his head and asked softly: "Master Hanzo, why don't we directly negotiate with the Tsuchikage? Or send out sea snakes to reduce our disadvantages."

Hanzo yelled, "Don't be naive! Zangame! If we don't dispel the fear of the Iwa ninja, they will not talk to us! Direct negotiation will only be counterproductive, and the Iwa ninja will definitely think that we have ulterior motives!"

"Also." Hanzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Zangyu coldly, "You are not allowed to mention the sea snake here. Do you want our final trump card to be exposed?" After saying this, Hanzo directly ordered in a commanding tone, "Starting from tomorrow. , evacuate all the rain ninjas located in the Kingdom of Rain, and pull the battle line back a hundred kilometers, do you understand?"

Most of the Amegakure ninjas are lurking in the occupied areas of the major ninja villages. If you let them retreat rashly, some people will be left behind by the enemy. And the supplies hidden in those strongholds were basically given to the enemy in vain. Zangyu was not an unreasonable person, but it was really painful to hit him with this knife. Not only to let the Iwa Ninja see the so-called sincerity, but also to show the threat of Konoha, this is the purpose of the next period of action.

"I remember, Hanzo-sama." Now that Hanzo has given the order, Zangyu has nothing to hesitate. After all, Hanzo-sama has led the rain ninjas all the way to this point. If there was no other way, Zangyu would not have done it. Unjust policy.

Is it just...unjust? Who can say clearly? Sacrificing a small number of rain ninjas so that more rain ninjas can survive is the righteousness in the heart of Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Hidden Village.

Even if he is not understood, even if he is reviled by others... it is the leader's responsibility to bear all the sins.

Hanzo stood up and walked slowly around the room to calm his gloomy mood.

Being in the center of the whirlpool of the times was not what Hanzo wanted. He came up with this method not only to get the rain ninja out of the quagmire of war as soon as possible, but more importantly, to plan for the future. If the plan goes well, Yuyin Village will soon be out of the center of the war. No matter who wins next, the Sunagakure Iwagakure coalition or Konoha, both sides will definitely suffer losses and their forces will be greatly reduced, and they will no longer be able to interfere in the situation in the Land of Rain.

The Great Ninja Village always wants to weaken Amegakure, and Hanzo doesn't mind stabbing himself first to lower their guard, and then sit back and watch them weaken each other. At that time, without external interference, Yuyin Village can usher in real development opportunities. This may be an opportunity, or it may be destruction, but the opportunity has truly appeared, and Hanzo is really unwilling to give up.

"This is the sorrow of a small country..." Hanzo looked up at the bright moon and sighed silently again.

The plan for Amegakure Village has been quietly launched, the countermeasures against Iwagakure are in action, the information of retreat is being transmitted, everything is being arranged in an orderly manner, and no one has noticed it yet. But as the rain ninja's retreat became more and more extensive, the movement could not be concealed in the end.

In the spacious tent at Konoha Camp, Shirataki sat on the ground, leaning lazily on the table behind him. On the ground, a half-opened ninjutsu scroll lay casually there. Shirataki held down the scroll with his left hand and flipped through it, scanning it with his eyes. He stretched out the index finger of his right hand and inserted it into the ring of the handle of a kunai. As his wrist shook, the kunai rotated leisurely.

The scroll that Shirataki was looking at at this time was a ninjutsu scroll that he had copied by himself. It recorded the training method of Flying Thunder God, a space ninjutsu unique to Konoha Village. Space Ninjutsu is a key topic of his current research. Since the last time he planned to use "Infinite Counter" and accidentally opened the stagnant space, Shirataki has put all his energy into studying Space Ninjutsu. .

After the battle with Hanzo, Shirataki once again realized the shortcomings of his own insufficient attack methods. He planned to research the "Infinite Counter" in his imagination before the next battle, so that he could rely on this move to coordinate with his sealing technique. , intending to make up for its own shortcomings.

But for some unknown reason, his ability to perceive space is extremely poor. Apart from relying on pupil skills, he can be said to have no talent for space perception at all. This has also led to him still not learning to fly the Thunder God, let alone I want to rely on Flying Thunder God's space theory to develop new space ninjutsu.

When Shirataki was at a loss what to do, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the tent, "What do you want to do?"

Immediately afterwards, there was another scolding: "This is the headquarters of the ANBU directly under the Hokage, you are not allowed to break in!"

Shirataki knew without looking that the owners of these two voices were the two real ANBU directly under the Hokage who were responsible for monitoring him, but he didn't expect that these two people were actually guarding the door for him? Really self-conscious...

"Why don't you let us in? We just want to meet Shiro... um, your captain." Jiraiya seemed a little panicked, as if he let something slip.

"Okay, stop making trouble. You two are ANBU directly under the Hokage, don't you even know us?" came Orochimaru's hoarse voice, vaguely annoyed.

"Why are the three of them here?" Bai Tong glanced at the door, quite curious as to why they came to see him at this time. Also, when Jiraiya almost blurted out his words just now, did Tsunade reveal his true identity? What the hell is this tiger girl doing?

When he couldn't think clearly, he didn't think about it. It happened that Shirataki also wanted to take a rest, so he said loudly: "Let them in!"

"Yes!" With the reluctant responses of the two ANBU directly under the Hokage, the door curtain was opened, and Tsunade and Jiraiya got in one after another, but Orochimaru was last.

Considering that the three people in front of him already knew his identity, Shirataki did not wear a mask. Anyway, if he didn't take the initiative to leak the secret, even if his identity was exposed, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't be able to rely on him.

"Sit down." Bai Taki did not get up, and waved casually, indicating to the three of them to find a place to sit. "What do you want from me?"

Tsunade and the other three didn't know how to reply for a while. They couldn't just say they were bored and came to chat with you, right?

Tsunade secretly glanced at the environment in the tent. Ninjutsu scrolls and sealing scrolls were either rolled up or unfolded, and were placed everywhere like a pile of garbage. There was almost no room for them to stay.

Tsunade crossed her arms and said with dissatisfaction, "Is this how you treat guests? As one of the strongest men in Konoha, you can be so sloppy." As she spoke, Tsunade rolled her eyes at Shirataki and spoke while talking. He bent down and picked up the scroll on the ground.

When Jiraiya saw this, his expression suddenly turned ugly. Orochimaru didn't have as much drama as Jiraiya. Instead, he glanced at Shirataki in surprise. When they met again, he always felt that Shirataki was different from before. It seemed to him that he was less restrained, more sharp, and had a lingering sleepiness.

Orochimaru felt a little strange and took the initiative to say hello to Shirataki, "Shirataki-kun, we meet again."

Shirataki came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and said to Orochimaru, "Yes, we meet again."
