Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 92 Hanzo Attacks!

"How many people are there, and who is leading them?"

Mitokado asked anxiously.

"There are about a thousand people, but Hanzo is leading them!"

The Hyuga ninja replied.

Hanzo is leading the team!!!

Uchiha Gen said leisurely, "Elder Yan, it seems that Root's ace spy is in danger. Hanzo may have already suspected something. This standoff between Amegakure and Iwagakure is real, because Amegakure only sent a thousand people, and the rest of the main force is still confronting Iwagakure. But it's also fake, because Hanzo himself is definitely taking advantage of this opportunity to bring Amegakure's elite troops over, and take advantage of the fact that we just finished fighting Sunagakure to be the fisherman."

Among all the heroes of the world, none of those who have left their mark and reached the pinnacle have been simple individuals.

Especially someone like Hanzo, who came from a small country, rose from humble beginnings, and grew to the pinnacle of the ninja world, becoming a formidable figure who could rival the Five Kage of the time. In terms of strength, temperament, and intelligence, he was an exceptional choice.

Konoha had just fought a fierce battle with the main force of Sunagakure and suffered considerable losses. If they did not rest and regroup in time, Hanzo's surprise attack might really cripple Konoha's army and steal the spoils of this battle from them.

"The wounded haven't even had time to be cared for yet, but the ninjas who have maintained relatively intact combat strength have already regrouped. Should we continue to stay here and fight Hanzo to the death to preserve our gains, or should we steadily organize a retreat to conserve our strength?"

Mitokado Homura once again turned his consulting gaze to Orochimaru.

"Can we retreat? If Yuan hadn't reminded us in time, our only option now would be to organize a large-scale retreat while leaving an elite team to cover our retreat. But among the enemy is Hanzo, and Elder Yan is seriously injured. With just the three of us, we don't have absolute confidence that we can stop Hanzo."

Orochimaru spoke indifferently.

Uchiha Gen suddenly had a thought.

The three of them stayed behind to cover the rear and fight against Hanzo.

Could this be the battle that made the three legendary ninjas famous in the original timeline?

The original Sannin couldn't defeat Hanzo, but their fight was incredibly intense, inspiring Hanzo to appreciate their talent. He chose to spare them, even bestowing upon them the title of Sannin, and subsequently formed an alliance with Konoha.

This statement seems somewhat like embellishing Hanzo's image and adding to his legendary status.

Where would a respectable ninja get the appreciation for talent, or would it be directed at rival ninjas?

Oh, Hashirama Senju is an exception; he genuinely showed mercy to even the horn.

According to Gen Uchiha, his love for talent was just a pretext. The real reason he chose to stop and ally with Konoha was Konoha's strength.

The strength of the Sannin made him realize that if he were willing to cooperate with Konoha, the combined power of the two villages would definitely be able to drive the other two ninja villages out of the Land of Rain and end the war.

After that, he appeared before Konoha as a victor and a powerful ally, with the ability and confidence to maintain the independence of the Land of Rain and to use Konoha's banner to influence other major ninja villages.

In this way, he could secure a long-term peaceful external environment for the Land of Rain, giving him ample time to stabilize the internal situation of the Land of Rain, train ninjas, select successors, and strengthen Amegakure in preparation for the future.

From the perspective of the original timeline, Hanzo's move was actually quite successful. It not only allowed the Land of Rain to avoid the brutal Third Shinobi World War after the Second Shinobi World War, but also extended peace for a considerable period of time. If the Fourth Shinobi World War had not broken out, the Land of Rain could have continued to live peacefully.

However, Hanzo also failed. He was unfortunately dragged into Madara and Black Zetsu's plan to train Nagato, becoming the first major boss to put pressure on Nagato to strengthen his resolve. He died early and was unable to leave any trace in the later story.

However, it seems that the story's direction is about to change slightly because of the changes I've brought about.

"You mean we're going to stay here and fight a defensive battle against the Rain Ninja?"

Mitomon asked again.

However, Orochimaru still shook his head.

"If we stay here, the poison gas from the salamanders will surely cause heavy casualties. The best option is to gather our high-end forces and take the initiative to attack. This way, we can divide the battlefield and send out a strong enough force to hold off Hanzo. Even if we are exhausted after the war, and the Amegakure ninja are no elite, there are only a thousand of them. As long as we can stop Hanzo, the outcome is still uncertain."

"Take the initiative!"

Mitokado Homura looked at Orochimaru and asked, "How confident are you three?"

He is currently injured, so he is not completely unable to fight. However, against Hanzo, the main force will definitely be Orochimaru and his two companions, who are in better condition.

"The chances of winning are not high, after all, Hanzo is too strong, but the chances of not losing are more than 60%. Even if the battle is unfavorable, we are capable of holding off Hanzo. After the main force has regrouped, organizing a retreat will not be difficult."

Orochimaru's voice remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of fervor.

Whether it's him, Tsunade, or Jiraiya, their strength has reached a minor bottleneck.

They are currently close to Kage-level powerhouses, and they are still young. If they can persevere for a few more years, it will not be difficult for them to advance further.

However, if there is enough pressure to serve as a whetstone, bringing them a battle of sufficient intensity, the training effect will be far more useful than daily training and sparring!

Every top-tier ninja in the ninja world is forged through countless battles and life-or-death struggles.

Hanzo of the Salamander is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the ninja world, and being an enemy means he won't hold back. He's the best whetstone for them; a battle with him will allow them to understand the gap between themselves and such a top-tier ninja, what weaknesses they need to address, and what aspects they can further strengthen.

"Then, I'll leave it to you! I'll be the one to break through on the front lines."

Mitomon En said in a deep voice to his three junior disciples.

Even though he was injured, his basic strength is still there. He may not be the best, but he's better than the worst. Staying on the front lines would be a greater help.

"Without further ado, let's set off!"

Tsunade withdrew her hand, which was glowing green, from Mitokado Yanagi, looking triumphant.

A similar burning fighting spirit ignited in Jiraiya's eyes.

"Walk!"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out, and three figures instantly vanished from their original positions with a whooshing sound.

"Let's go too. If we can turn the tide and defeat Amegakure's army in the shortest amount of time, that would be the greatest support for Orochimaru and the others."

Mitokado Yan sighed.

This time, the failure was due to a blunder in espionage.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough at the last minute and still have a chance to win.
