Chapter 119 The Hero Who Slayed the Dragon Becomes the Dragon Himself (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The tragedy of the Land of Whirlpools?

Compared to those rebellious words, Hanzo, who was originally in high spirits, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this statement, which contained even more information.

The other Rain Ninjas had similar expressions, all looking surprised and uncertain.

What does that guy mean? What tragedy?

Ashina Uzumaki, the clan leader who led the Uzumaki clan to establish the Land of Whirlpools and the village of Whirlpools, didn't he sign a friendship agreement with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, a long time ago?

To demonstrate the determination of the two countries to maintain their long-standing friendship and deep bond, the Konoha leadership even printed the Uzumaki clan's mark on the Jonin uniforms.

Many people in the ninja world praised and lauded it, thus their trust in Konoha and the Land of Fire's promises and prestige was self-evident.

How could such a tragedy have occurred in the Land of Whirlpools?

Could it be that they...

"It's exactly what you think."

Yun Chuan's slightly cold gaze swept across everyone's faces as he calmly said, "The Land of Whirlpools, once an ally of the Land of Fire, and a country that has maintained friendly relations with Konoha for generations."

"Right under the nose of the Land of Fire, it was annihilated by the Mist Village not long ago."

"If even the Land of Whirlpools, our ally, behaves this way, how can you still naively believe that the promises made by Konoha and the Land of Fire are trustworthy?"

Everyone present heard Yun Chuan's calm yet terrifying statement.

The surroundings fell into dead silence instantly, and the previously noisy crowd froze.

Immediately, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Really? Is it true?"

"The Uzumaki clan was once a top-tier clan!"

"The Land of Whirlpools was wiped out by the Mist Village just like that? Without a sound?"

"It's impossible for Kirigakure to have mobilized such a large force without Konoha's knowledge, right?"

"Didn't Konoha send any teams to provide support or even notify the Land of Whirlpools?"

Sure enough.

Upon hearing this news, although he had no trust in Konoha and the Land of Fire, Hanzo's expression still became much more serious.

He had already heard about it.

The former lord of the Land of Fire, who once valued his reputation, has passed away.

The newly appointed daimyo is a ruthless man who can play the innocent and naive character and endure bullying for over a decade, only to smile and order the killing of all his brothers and sisters on the very second day after taking office.

Such a person is a habitual liar.

It's hard to believe he'll keep his word on a mere verbal promise.

But Hanzo didn't expect that the other party would be so shameless, even breaking the alliance.

"If we fantasize about seeking peace through compromise and surrender our military supplies, our fate in the Land of Rain will be like that of the Land of Whirlpools—we will become sheep in a pen, lambs to the slaughter!"

"At that time, the only thing waiting for the Land of Rain is death!"

Yun Chuan shifted his gaze to Han Zang, his eyes filled with a meaningful smile, and said, "Therefore, we only have one path to take!"

"struggle!"

Noticing the meaningful look in Yun Chuan's eyes, Han Zang blurted out instinctively, but quickly realized his mistake and added, "Armed struggle!"

Upon hearing this, the bewildered crowd snapped out of their daze, and their faces once again revealed indignation.

"That's right, not a single kunai can be given to Konoha!"

"Constant compromise will only lead to more brutal massacres!"

"We still have the strength to fight, yet powerful nations dare to plunder and slaughter us. What would happen if we handed over all our supplies?"

"Not only will we fail to save the Land of Rain, but we'll also make Sunagakure and Konoha think we're weak and easy to bully, emboldening them to act even more recklessly!"

Guided by Yun Chuan's words.

Not only were the crowd behind Hanzo excited, but even the crowd behind Musashi was wavering.

Are Konoha and the Land of Fire believable?

Unbelievable!

Therefore, it's better to rely on yourself than on others!

"Did you see that, Lord Musashi?"

Yun Chuan pointed at the Rain Ninja, then looked at the silent Musashi and laughed, "Can't you feel everyone's anger and resentment?"

"Or are you planning to go against the tide?"

Musashi instinctively opened his mouth, but looking at the indignant faces, his usually eloquent old mouth was momentarily at a loss for words.

"...I'm just as angry and resentful," Musashi said in a low, bitter voice. "But, even anger and resentment are better than losing my life, aren't they?"

These young brats have no idea what they are facing or what they are fighting against.

The foundation and strength of a great power are far beyond what the Land of Rain can compare to.

If we really push the major powers to the brink, they will be helpless if we just release the tailed beasts.

"The once unruly 'Sword Saint,' it seems your spine has been broken."

Yun Chuan was completely disappointed in the old man. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The five great nations are indeed strong, and it is very difficult to resist them."

"But if there are no difficulties, what are we young people supposed to do?"

"Like I said, if you can't do it, then we'll take your place!"

This is the second time.

This is the second time Yun Chuan has forced the emperor to abdicate.

This time, however, no one reprimanded him for his rudeness; instead, all eyes turned to the old man.

Even Yilong behind him had a complicated look in his eyes, as if waiting for a direct response from him.

"Master Musashi!"

Hanzo withdrew his approving gaze from Yun Chuan, then looked up at the old man and said coldly, "This is the last time I'll call you teacher!"

"I once told a samurai named Mifune from the Land of Iron that a person's end is not death, but the moment he loses his faith. He was a sharp blade, and even in death, I would proclaim to the world that he was a hero!"

"In everyone's hearts, you are a hero. At this time, do not cling to power. Relinquish your position and authority as leader. Do not let your glorious name be tarnished. I will lead the Rain Kingdom to peace!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuan gave Hanzo a strange look.

If he remembers correctly, this "Lord Hanzo" will also become cowardly in the future, lose his original beliefs, join forces with Danzo to kill Yahiko, and try to eliminate the Akatsuki organization, but will drive Nagato to the dark side.

Thinking of this, Yun Chuan couldn't help but smile to himself.

Is this considered a cycle of reincarnation?

Will the hero who slays the dragon eventually become the dragon himself?

Could I become a dragon?

Oh right, he wasn't exactly a hero to begin with.

He simply wanted to mold the world into a way that pleased him.

As for whether it was right or wrong, he didn't really care.

For example, during his first meeting with Yahiko and Konan, if it hadn't been Yahiko and Konan who touched the Sand Ninja corpse, he would have killed them as soon as they entered the alley.

This is why Xiao Nan felt a chill and subconsciously touched her throat.

Because the short knife in his hand was just a hair's breadth away from slicing through her neck.

So, in essence, like those evil dragons who steal princesses and treasures, he was at most an oddball among evil dragons who didn't care about money or women.

"hero?"

After a long silence, Musashi raised his head, looked at the questioning and resentful gazes, and gave a cold, self-deprecating smile, saying, "A hero abandoned by everyone?"

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Hanzo and said in a cold voice, "Further words are useless! I will never hand over the position of leader of Amegakure to you, and I will not let the Land of Rain be buried because of your momentary anger."

"If you really want this position, then come and take it! Step over my dead body, if you can!"

After saying this, Musashi turned around with a cold expression and left.

"Musashi!" Hanzo shouted angrily as he watched Musashi's departing figure, "You forced me to do this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rain Village ninjas behind Hanzo drew their weapons in unison with a crisp clang of metal.

The ninjas behind Musashi, who had been standing frozen in place, nervously drew their weapons upon seeing this.

The atmosphere and emotions of the crowd were fluctuating intensely. The invisible smoke of battle had already filled the entire space, and everyone's gazes were like sparks on a fuse, just one fuse away from being completely ignited.

"move……"

Hanzo's gaze narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand, about to give the order to act.

"stop."

A familiar and steady voice rang out, carrying an undeniable authority that caused everyone to instinctively stop what they were doing.

Hanzo frowned slightly and looked up again.

Meeting those deep blue eyes, he narrowed his own and asked, "Why are you stopping me?"
