I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

His voice sounded somewhat urgent.

"Master Huang."

After what seemed like a long pause, the former overlord slowly lowered his head, and a somewhat trembling title of respect was uttered.

"Yes, in the meantime, let's preserve the Land of Rain and avoid any more pointless civil wars."

"As for the promises of certain individuals, you should also consider the consequences of allowing other forces to enter the country and interfere."

"What difference is there between that kind of rain country and the grass country that can please everyone?"

As he spoke, Ara had already turned around and walked out of the palace, leaving behind Hanzo the Salamander with a complicated expression.

As the leader of a power, how could he not understand these principles?

However, he couldn't let go of the power he desired, nor the status he held.

The conflict between himself and the Akatsuki organization has reached a point of no return.

But what would happen to his followers if he showed signs of defeat or died during this period?

Therefore, Hanzo chose to accept Shimura Danzo's commission, intending to use Uchiha Ara's life as a pledge to prioritize eliminating the out-of-control and now formidable Akatsuki organization.

As for the possible consequences...

That was also what happened later.

But now.

When he chose to submit and addressed the boy as Lord Ara, everything changed.

His anxieties and his own desire for power vanished in an instant, like bubbles meeting the sunlight.

Furthermore, Hanzo's recognition of the former was enhanced in the final warning.

Indeed, this is an internal matter of the Land of Rain.

Even if he makes this pledge, even if Konoha and Iwagakure come to support him as promised.

But those at the forefront of the war were undoubtedly the ninjas of the Land of Rain; in the end, it was only the residents of the Land of Rain who would suffer.

By then, the Land of Rain will truly have no chance of rising again.

Thinking of this, Hanzo the Salamander's last shred of resistance vanished.

"Hey, I said."

And at that very moment, the voice of that lord echoed through the long palace corridor once more.

"What's wrong, Lord Ara?"

In response.

Hanzo the Salamander, who was still in the ruins, had already appeared behind him in an instant.

"Back then, you only targeted Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, right?"

Huang still stood with his back turned.

'Yahiko......'

Upon hearing the name, Hanzo's gaze suddenly became somewhat unfocused, but he quickly regained his senses.

"Yes."

"At the time, we only forced the leader of Akatsuki to commit suicide. We didn't touch the others. I was also very surprised by the deaths of the other members of that organization."

"However, due to my position, I did not address those questions from the outside world."

"Furthermore, I believe that the true leader of the Akatsuki is not the deceased Yahiko, but another guy named Nagato. He is suspected of possessing the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and the legendary Rinnegan!"

Having realized his true identity, Hanzo the Salamander replied in a deep voice.

They even expanded the message.

"Ah."

"I see."

After nodding slightly, Huang continued walking outside.

Judging by the time, Chino and the others should be almost there by now.

At the same time, a panel emitting a faint glow appeared before his eyes. During his battle with Hanzo the Salamander, he had also triggered and completed a summoning quest:

【High Sky and Bright Sun - Hiyoribou】

Yokai description: A yokai girl who only goes out on sunny days and is terrified of rainy days.

When it rains, I hide at home, listening to the thunder and rain, hugging a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped ornament for rain) and trembling with fear.

However, she is a very kind and gentle monster.

The downside is that he's timid.

Sometimes I even cry from my own fantasies.

Please take good care of her.

Level: Nightmare

Summoning materials: Intermediate Summoning Talisman *1, Blood of Hanzo the Salamander.

Contract Condition: Defeat Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world! (Completed)

【I'm not afraid of you, rainy day!】

[Waaaaah, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop thundering, please stop thundering!]

Just before the boy left, the Rain Village elites who had been dismissed earlier filed in in a panic, their calls of "Lord Hanzo" filled with terror.

after all.

That young Uchiha descendant walked out completely unharmed!

This means........

"I am fine."

A deep voice echoed in the ruined inner hall. The person in question stood with his back to the crowd, concealing the gruesome wounds on his chest.

That terrifying wind technique called "Oppression" really hurts a lot.

Even though he had instantly vanished, the fierce wind element still left bloodstained marks on his body.

"That's wonderful, Lord Hanzo!"

"We knew that a mere Uchiha junior could never defeat Lord Hanzo!"

Immediately, cheers and shouts erupted, and the adoration within them was clearly discernible.

"No, I lost."

"From now on, he will be the one you are to serve."

However, after a brief silence, Hanzo the Salamander said the following.

The twelve men behind him were all subordinates he could absolutely trust.

And they all willingly had restrictions placed on them.

"Lord Hanzo?"

Instantly, astonishment filled the faces of these Rain Ninjas. As they looked at each other, they saw disbelief on each other's faces.

"Yes, it is like that."

"I'm tired, you can all leave now."

"Just be on guard against the Akatsuki."

There wasn't much explanation given about Hanzo the salamander.

Even though he has come to terms with reality and adopted a new identity, everything that happened today still leaves him physically and mentally exhausted.

However, when the order was given, no one left.

"Lord Hanzo, please don't worry about us, don't abandon us!"

"Our lives have always belonged to you, and we only want to serve Lord Hanzo!"

"Please don't bow down to Konoha for our sake."

"Let those rebels come! Who lives and who dies is still up in the air!!"

The stirring voices echoed through the ruins.

It is the voice of the Salamander King, who is known as Hanzo's 'right hand'.

"Yes, Lord Hanzo, please don't worry about us!"

Please don't abandon us!

We are willing to die for you!

At that moment, incessant pleas rang out.

Clearly, the remaining elites also suspected a connection.

In their view, the reason why Lord Hanzo said such things and made such a decision must be that the boy who inherited the Uchiha surname used the power of Konoha and the Akatsuki's rebellion to force his master to change his will for the sake of his subordinates.

"enough!"

However, such remarks did not comfort Hanzo the Salamander; instead, they intensified his bitterness.

"I lost."

He repeated it again.

This time, the entire place fell silent. These Rain Village ninjas weren't fools after all; they knew their masters wouldn't lie to them about something like this.

But thinking about it carefully, that boy really did have invincible strength!

At the very least, they didn't even have the power to stand in front of each other.

For a moment, sorrow and resentment filled the faces of these elite Rain Shadows.

Could it be?
