Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"As expected, that bastard Danzo Shimura is still staying within the Land of Rain..."

Danzo Shimura!

This is a veteran powerhouse who has been famous in the ninja world for a long time.

It possesses extremely strong capabilities and formidable counter-surveillance abilities.

He is an opponent that even Hanzo would have to treat with caution.

We dare not let our guard down at all.

"This is an opportunity, Lord Hanzo!"

Tsuchino Juzo took a deep breath, his gaze towards Hanzo filled with both the solemnity of facing a formidable foe and an eager anticipation of not being mediocre, of wanting to take this opportunity to show Jiang Ming his own value, and of not wanting to be left far behind by him.

"An opportunity to prove to Lord Jiang Ming that we Rain Ninja are not useless cowards, but capable of fighting alongside him!"

Tsuchino Juzo longs to prove himself to Jiang Ming.

She longed to be able to accompany Jiang Ming at all times, just like Nagato, Konan, and Kakuzu.

We can walk side by side with him and face all obstacles and threats together.

"Even if you say that, you yourself don't possess the ability to defeat Danzo..."

"Lord Hanzo—!"

Hanzo was interrupted by Tsuchino Juzo, who suddenly raised his voice before he could finish speaking.

"Lord Jiang Ming's close advisors are all traitorous ninjas; not a single Rain Ninja is by his side... Don't you think this is a tragedy?"

Upon hearing this, Hanzo's eyes widened in surprise.

Almost instantly, he grasped the key words in Tsuchino Juzo's words.

We now understand why Tsuchino Juzo was so eager to prove himself.

He wanted to prove to Jiang Ming that Amegakure was not weak by eliminating Shimura Danzo, an enemy ninja who had fought against him beforehand.

They have enough strength to follow him.

Moreover, he is definitely more trustworthy and worthy of Jiang Ming's attention than the three rogue ninjas, Nagato, Konan, and Kakuzu.

"It's truly pathetic..."

As the supreme leader of the Rain Kingdom, Jiang Ming's entourage consisted neither of the Rain Ninjas nor of the high-ranking officials of the Rain Kingdom.

Rather, they were rogue ninjas despised and scorned by countless great ninja nations...

Such a scene would only make those who see it think that there is no one left in their Land of Rain.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Ming, as the second-generation leader of the Land of Rain, possibly appoint three rogue ninjas to accompany him on his campaigns without taking the Rain Ninjas from Amegakure with him?

This was an overwhelming blow and a humiliation for the entire Land of Rain.

Enough to break the defenses of countless Rain Ninjas on the spot, causing them to die of shame and indignation...

No wonder Tsuchino Juzo was so eager to kill Shimura Danzo, to prove his worth to Jiang Ming...

If it were Hanzo the Salamander facing this situation, he probably wouldn't be able to resist proving his worth to Jiang Ming.

He accompanied the other party as a "Rain Ninja".

This made him no longer appear as a tragic figure fighting alone, without anyone to rely on...

"Therefore, I want to call Ibuki and two elite Rain Ninja squads to go to Shimura Danzo's hideout and try to take him down by any means necessary."

"Let's use his life as a stepping stone to demonstrate the strength of the Rain Ninja, to tell Lord Jiang Ming—we Rain Ninja are not weak!"

"Instead, they are reliable subordinates who can stay by his side, fight alongside him, and share life and death!"

Tsuchino Juzo's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Between the lines, there is a strong sense of loyalty to help Jiang Ming solve his problems.

They also wanted to use this incident to prove their own and all the Rain Ninja's strength to Jiang Ming.

"Your idea is good, but the plan might not work..."

He served as the "teacher" of both Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi.

Hanzo knew better than anyone how inadequate these two high-ranking fighters from Amegakure were when facing a veteran ninja like Shimura Danzo.

In terms of ninjutsu proficiency, combat experience, and overall chakra reserves, neither Tsuchino Juzo nor Ibuki Aoi could possibly be a match for Shimura Danzo.

Even with the utmost caution from Tsuchino Juzo and Ibuki Aoi, including bringing along two elite Rain Ninja squads, it was all in vain.

It was practically handing food to Danzo Shimura.

Let him rack up battle merits without restraint.

"That's why I've come here specifically to pay my respects to Lord Hanzo, hoping that you can lend us your summoning beast, the Salamander."

When it came to the topic of "salam", Tsuchino Juzo was clearly reluctant to speak.

There was even a degree of fear and awe.

All of this stems from the terrifying toxic fumes of the salamander.

The poison gas from salamanders is different from that of ordinary poisons.

In this primitive era where medical ninjutsu had not yet been fully developed, the deadly poison of the salamander could infect other living beings in the vicinity.

So the only fate awaiting these creatures is death!

In a sense, half of Hanzo's title of "demigod" comes from his highly venomous summoning beast, the "Salamander."

All those who oppose Hanzo fear and dread the poisonous gas of the salamander.

"You want to borrow my summoning beast?"

To be honest, Hanzo had considered that Tsuchino Juzo's visit at this critical juncture might not only be out of genuine concern for him, but also because he had other motives.

What he never expected was that Tsuchino Juzo not only had other plans, but also set his sights on his summoning beast, the Salamander!

It's important to know that salamanders are not like ordinary spirit beasts, which are obedient and willing to be manipulated.

However, they possess genuine wildness and a strong sense of territoriality.

If Hanzo didn't have the salamander venom sac in his abdomen as a support, he probably wouldn't have been taken seriously by the salamander at all.

Not to mention forming a spiritual contract with the other party, becoming each other's support and comrades-in-arms.

"You guys really aren't afraid of death..."

Hanzo wasn't exactly reluctant to part with his summoned beast.

The main problem is that the salamander has a bad temper and will unconsciously release some poison gas the moment it is summoned.

If it weren't for the fact that Hanzo had a salamander venom sac implanted in his abdomen, giving him an anti-venom ability far exceeding that of ordinary fish, then...

It's likely that it will also die from the unknown AOE damage of the salamander.

"Compared to death... I'm more worried that I have no value in Lord Jiang Ming's eyes!"

For a ninja, death is not so scary.

What's truly terrifying is that becoming a ninja doesn't grant them any value whatsoever.

They don't even have the right to be used by others.

That was true despair...

"You've really grown up, you little devil..."

Hanzo looked at him with some admiration.

In his mind, Tsuchino Juzo had always been a very obedient kid who was somewhat afraid of death.

But now, in order to gain value in Jiang Ming's heart, he is willing to gamble with his own life.

Together with Aoi Ibuki and others, they killed Danzo Shimura.

This mindset is different from before.

He already possesses all the qualities a ninja should have.

This is something that should make him, as a "teacher," feel gratified.

Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to lend him the salamander.

Everything is for the sake of making Amegakure and the entire Land of Rain great again...
