Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 68 A Stormy Talk! Assassination!

One day later.

The meeting between Hanzo the Salamander and the Third Kazekage has officially begun.

As the morning sun rises from the horizon.

The atmosphere in Sunagakure today was much more solemn than usual.

The relationship between the two nations during the Second Shinobi World War was complex.

Initially, the two countries were adversaries, fighting each other to the death.

But soon, they changed their strategy and became allies, joining forces to attack Konoha.

Although they were both killed by Konoha's kick, no one benefited.

Although both sides currently have their own ulterior motives...

But at least the alliance agreement remains in effect to this day.

As previously arranged.

The Amegakure faction needed to walk from their residence for about ten minutes to reach the Kazekage Building and meet with the Sunagakure leadership. In front of everyone, they shook hands with the Third Kazekage to show the friendly attitude of the two countries.

of course.

In Ayane Amamiya's view, this was both a political show and, more likely, a way to put pressure on other ninja villages.

As I walked along the road, I heard the chatter of ordinary people on both sides.

"Are these guys the ninjas of the Land of Rain? They look strange, neither male nor female..."

'

"If I remember correctly, they were also a defeated nation in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Why are they coming here? Are they here to plunder us?"

"Huh? That female ninja is so young, she looks about the same age as my daughter!"

Ayane Amamiya listened quietly to the discussions of the people around her.

To be honest, this experience was much better than when I first entered the village a couple of days ago.

It's likely that Sunagakure has increased its control over public opinion.

At least Ayane Amamiya didn't hear anything harsh or unpleasant.

"Pretty lady! Pretty lady! Look at me!"

A two- or three-year-old child sat on his father's shoulders and greeted her loudly.

Ayane Amamiya turned her head and smiled at him.

The little brat was so happy that he popped a snot bubble out of his nose and almost fell off his dad's shoulder.

This semi-parade-like experience lasted for about ten minutes.

Hanzo and his group of four finally arrived in front of the Kazekage Building.

The Third Kazekage and his advisory group are already waiting here.

This was also the first time the girl had ever seen the Third Kazekage alive.

The other person had blue hair and yellow eyes, wore a long white Kazekage robe with a blue ninja outfit underneath, and had sharp and keen eyes.

Like the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Above their head was the reputation of being the "Strongest Kazekage"...

Whether it is true or not is unknown.

"Lord Hanzo, it's been a long time."

The Third Kazekage stepped forward, extending his hand and laughing heartily, "Welcome to Sunagakure!"

"The Kazekage's charm is even greater than before!" Hanzo's smile looked a little stiff, but at least it conveyed the meaning.

The two hands are clasped together.

The camera then made a clicking sound as it exposed.

The scene of the two men shaking hands and chatting was faithfully recorded by a group of reporters and captured in their cameras.

of course.

The three guards behind Hanzo were not neglected either; they were also included in their records.

Ayane Amamiya could imagine that tomorrow's Sand Village newspaper headline would probably be...

The Arrival of a Demigod! Rain Shadow and His Followers are Amazing!

Fortunately, ninjas are essentially a violent and destructive profession.

This political show ended in less than a minute, highlighting its simplicity and decisiveness.

After entering.

The insincere politeness between the two sides dissipated considerably.

The two sides were clearly divided.

Everyone went their separate ways, ignoring each other.

The Sand Village's ANBU ninja quickly closed the door, blocking the curious gazes of the crowd.

At the long conference table, Hanzo and Kazekage sat on either side, with straw hats bearing the characters for "wind" and "rain" placed on the table.

Ayane Amamiya and the other two stood silently behind Hanzo.

Opposite them, behind the Kazekage, stood two young ninjas.

The one with short brown hair should be the future Fourth Kazekage, Rasa...

Ayane Amamiya only recognized one of them.

As for the other young man, I have no recollection of him.

The other person was also looking at him with curiosity.

Perhaps because it was his home turf, Luo Sha's gaze even carried a hint of provocation, appearing extremely unrestrained and bold.

The girl slightly closed her eyelids, making a slight concession.

"Lord Hanzo."

As the host of this meeting, Fengying, who was seated at the head of the table, spoke first: "The reason I specially invited you is to have further discussions on the previous cooperation between the two countries."

The last cooperation between the two countries was completed with Chiyo's strong support.

However, the alliance between the two sides was formed hastily at the time.

To put it simply, it's about reaching an agreement that everyone will join forces to take down Konoha!

Nothing else was mentioned.

Even this "cooperation" now seems very inadequate.

The two countries had never cooperated or provided cover for each other, nor had they ever exchanged intelligence; they were completely operating independently...

"No problem with cooperation."

"As everyone knows, I have never been a fighter in my life, but I yearn for peace."

Hanzo, without batting an eye, uttered a lie: "But the key question is, Lord Kazekage, how do you intend to cooperate?"

Upon hearing this...

Chiyo's expression visibly changed slightly.

Was Hanzo not a fighter in his life?

I don't believe you, you old man with a breathing tube!

However, she held a high position in Sunagakure, and no one would criticize her for such a trivial matter.

"I hope our alliance agreement can continue."

Feng Ying's expression was solemn: "Between the two countries, there should be no invasion, mutual assistance, and mutual protection!"

Hanzo thought about it carefully for a moment.

I didn't realize that there might be some hidden trap in these deceptive slogans.

"If that's all, then it's fine."

"Of course, that's not all."

The Kazekage stated bluntly, "Besides that, I also hope that you will stand shoulder to shoulder with me in our stance towards Konoha!"

"That's the important thing!" Ayane Amamiya thought to herself.

Then the Third Kazekage said in a low voice, "Presumably, Lord Hanzo received an invitation from Konoha beforehand." Hanzo raised an eyebrow: "What? Do you have some particular ideas?"

The Kazekage nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the Hokage intends to use the results of the Chunin Exams to give us a warning, and then force us to sign a complete ceasefire agreement!"

He crossed his arms and said with a cold smile, "The more Konoha wants a truce, the less we can let them succeed! At the very least, we must make them spit out a piece of flesh!"

Ayane Amamiya was completely bewildered as she listened from behind.

If I remember correctly, wasn't it the Sand Village's puppeteer force that was mostly wiped out by White Fang?

Even though you lost, you're still so arrogant?

It feels like the tide of battle has turned...

It's a reversal of the Heavenly Gang!

Hanzo pondered for a moment: "What are your specific plans, Lord Kazekage?"

The Kazekage frankly stated, "If we join forces with the Hidden Cloud Village to exert pressure, then most of the Land of Fire's border could be engulfed in war at any moment! The Hokage absolutely cannot withstand such pressure!"

He looked around at everyone and revealed a top-secret message to Hanzo.

"Just recently, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure died! The news is absolutely reliable!"

The meeting room fell silent.

Yu Yin and the others were stunned into silence by this bombshell.

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself: Just a few days ago, Goat analyzed the situation of the ninja world with me, saying that everyone was waiting for Mito Uzumaki's death and was ready to start the Third Shinobi World War at any time.

That's good now.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is fine, so why did the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki die first?

However, judging by the timeline, the next Eight-Tails Jinchuriki should be Killer Bee, right?

There probably won't be enough time to insert another session in between!

She was trying hard to recall the plot of the original work.

However, Hanzo, being a seasoned veteran, quickly recovered from the shock of the news.

"The death of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki...was it Konoha's doing?"

Chiyo said, "It can't be confirmed, but it was definitely not a natural death. Because Bi was still very young, definitely not at the end of his life."

Hanzo nodded, quickly understanding the logic behind it.

He said with certainty, "I understand. In any case, no matter what happened, it must have been Konoha who did it."

A burst of laughter immediately filled the conference room.

Not to mention Kazekage, even Ebizo and the others smiled knowingly.

After a short while, the Kazekage continued to persuade, "Due to the petition from the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water, the nobles of various countries have now reached a consensus to suppress the war sentiments of the ninja villages. However, the Hidden Cloud Village has suffered such a great loss; they will not let this go easily!"

He then added with a hint of disdain, "Moreover, Lord Hanzo knows the nature of those barbarians from Kumogakure; they would never give up even the slightest benefit!"

His gaze was intense: "If you agree, I am extremely confident that I can facilitate this three-nation alliance and put pressure on Konoha!"

Hanzo remained silent, his gaze deep.

From a self-interest perspective, he was actually quite interested in the proposal of this "alliance of the disillusioned".

After all, if done properly, you can reap rewards just by talking; who wouldn't love that?

However, the situations and circumstances of the three kingdoms were completely different.

With the Land of Wind holed up in the desert, even if Konoha is angry, it's impossible for them to launch a surprise attack on Sunagakure.

The Hidden Cloud Village is powerful and already harboring resentment, so the Hidden Leaf Village dares not provoke them.

But it's different at home...

From any perspective, it's the softest of the softest persimmons.

If the Hokage were truly enraged, the army could arrive within ten days, if not in a day.

Instead of giving a direct answer, he asked, "Wind Shadow, how big of a piece of meat do you want?"

"Eight hundred million taels!"

The Third Kazekage and his advisors, Chiyo and Ebizo, exchanged a glance and announced the number they had agreed upon long ago.

The meeting room was quiet.

"Of course, if Konoha can't provide cash, it can offset the cost by ceding mission shares from smaller countries like the Land of Rivers, the Land of Streams, and the Land of Tea."

The Kazekage coughed and concluded, "Anyway, Sunagakure only wants money!"

All I want is money!

What a simple yet profound statement!

Ayane Amamiya and her two companions exchanged glances, and the same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously.

The Sand Village is desperate for money!

Hanzo suddenly laughed: "Sunagakure can't even hold onto its mission quotas for the small countries surrounding it anymore?"

The Kazekage frankly stated, "I have no intention of hiding anything from you, but the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has never been very satisfied with our Sand Village. After the failed surprise attack on the Land of Fire by the puppeteers, the Daimyo has repeatedly cut the village's budget under the pretext of defeat."

Hanzo asked curiously, "But if Sunagakure is gone, who will the Daimyo of the Land of Wind rely on?"

Fengying shook his head helplessly, indicating his incomprehension.

He smiled wryly and said, "In short, due to financial pressure, I now have to go to the desert to pan for gold from time to time to make up for the village's financial deficit."

Feng Ying was very candid.

He seemed to be talking about everything, but in reality, he was playing the victim and showing his determination to challenge Konoha.

Hanzo nodded knowingly, but hesitated in his heart.

"I need some time to think about it."

He looked at the Sand Village members in front of him and added, "But it won't be long."

The Third Kazekage nodded, not surprised at all, but rather feeling a little envious.

The Land of Rain is special because it has no Daimyo!

Or perhaps the noble class of the Rain Kingdom had already fled, leaving behind only a mess.

Hanzo is not only the leader of Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village), but also the highest authority in the Land of Rain!

This highly centralized power system.

Fengying dreams of tasting it!

He stood up, picked up the Wind Shadow Hat, and said slowly, "Lord Hanzo can take his time to consider it. Just give me a definite answer before you leave the village."

Kerala~

The meeting ended, and the heavy door to the conference room was pushed open.

The bright sunlight streamed in from outside, casting its rays on everyone's faces.

Ebizo led the way, saying, "Lord Hanzo, after your lunch break, we have arranged several places for you to visit..."

'

As expected of a great ninja village.

Although the Kazekage was so poor that he had to take odd jobs, he still maintained the dignity he was entitled to.

Hanzo the Salamander hadn't had a chance to reply yet.

Suddenly, Ayane Amamiya teleported in front of Hanzo in an instant.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

She formed a hand seal, and a wall of clear water instantly rose from the ground.

boom!

boom!

Two loud bangs came from the water wall, one above the other; these were the sounds of explosive tags detonating.

The water on the wall sloshed slightly from the explosion.

Special ninja tools!

Ayane Amamiya knew that the power of these explosive tags was abnormal; they must have been specially made to increase the explosive power.

Even so.

Thanks to the girl's excellent chakra control, only a few drops of water splashed onto the water array wall at her feet, without disturbing anyone in the slightest.

However, at the moment, apart from Luo Sha, who is also a guard, no one noticed her amazing self-control.

Everyone looked up and headed southwest.

That's where the explosive tag came from.

Ayane Amamiya pressed her hand against the sword in her hand, thought for a moment, and ultimately decided not to make a move.

Because the moment the detonation tag went off, several gray figures had already sped off in that direction!

"There's an assassin!"

The salamander's reaction was slightly slower.

He shouted and instantly protected Hanzo from another angle, while keeping a wary eye on the Sunagakure members.

Yesterday, his teammates were ambushed and killed outside, and today, an assassin is targeting Lord Hanzo!

Sanshokujin Da felt that everyone in the high-ranking members of the Sunagakure Clan was suspicious!

Facing his gaze, the Third Kazekage remained calm and speculated, "They're probably sent by another ninja village, trying to sow discord between me and Lord Hanzo."

"Shinta!"

Hanzo pressed down on the guard's shoulder: "Step back!"

Unless the Sand Village has the intention to betray them.

Otherwise, even the strongest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki wouldn't be able to kill him right under the Third Kazekage's nose.

But this matter can't be left like this.

He looked at the Third Kazekage and said in a deep voice, "I need an explanation."

Feng Ying nodded: "Within one day."

Hanzo nodded slightly and led Ayane Amamiya and two other guards away.

As for the subsequent reception arrangements, they naturally came to nothing.

After they left, Fengying's face instantly darkened.

"check!"

He roared, "Find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground! Also, the entire secret service team responsible for today's security is dismissed!"
