The will of fire can't save the ninja world

The Land of Rain, Dongbo Town.

The Akatsuki organization has developed so far that it can appear in any city openly.

It can be said that apart from Yuyin Village and the former Daming Mansion, they are the strongest force - and this is under the premise that they have not taken the initiative to obtain higher rights.

If this fire is really burned out, they will immediately become the masters of the Rain Kingdom.

The tallest building in Dongbo Town, members of the Akatsuki organization come and go.

Their current conditions no longer require them to live in hungry and cold caves every day, but they now have a real mobile base.

The so-called mobile base area means that no matter where they go, the local aristocratic rule will actively give way to serve as their base area.

Some of these nobles are sincere, while others are forced to do so due to the situation.

Yahiko looked at the rare good weather, but his mood was not relaxed.

He put down the pen in his hand and began to think about his next speech plan.

There are not many people in the Rain Country who can hinder them now, and Yahiko has even begun poaching the Daming Mansion.

"The war is over, and there is not much time left for us..."

The Akatsuki organization has frequently caught spies sent from other countries recently, which shows that they have emerged from the haze of war and begun to pay attention to this area.

Yahiko wanted to speed up the pace, but Hanzo the Sansho Fish was a difficult mountain to cross.

"I wonder what's going on over there, Xiaonan."

Yahiko was sighing when he noticed the movement of cars and horses outside.

Xiaonan is back.

However, people have returned, but God seems to have been lost.

"Xiaonan, Xiaonan?"

Yahiko called several times, and Xiaonan seemed to have just heard him.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted."

Xiao Nan said this, but she just glanced at him, and her gaze went to nowhere.

Yahiko was a little surprised: "Didn't you go to Senyin Island? Have the weapons ordered there arrived?"

Xiaonan nodded: "I brought them all back. It's enough to arm them, and there are also spare ones."

If the Kingdom of Rain wants to solve the problem quickly, it cannot rely solely on the Akatsuki organization. Ordinary people here who are willing to fight for it must also be armed.

Those people are either strong and strong, some know how to use samurai swords, or some wandering ninjas who have taken refuge here.

They won't be able to fight the Rain Ninja Village, but the private soldiers used to deal with the nobles will be enough.

When it fully blooms, it will be able to catch it off guard and make it impossible for the opposition forces to take action.

Yahiko was relieved when he heard the news. He was also worried whether Konan's state was related to the failure of the mission.

Since it doesn't matter, he continued: "Now the Fire Country is testing us more and more frequently, and we need to speed up. Maybe we should ask Xianyin Island for support?"

If it were Yahiko from the past, he might have been more independent, but having died once, he knew that so-called reserve was useless.

You would be really stupid if you don't borrow good external resources, only to make yourself suffer more losses or even cause the mission to fail.

To communicate with Xianyin Island, you have to rely on Xiaonan.

Even though Yahiko himself has a good relationship with Senyakushima, he knows that Sengyin Island, or Uchiha Miya, is more concerned about Konan himself.

"Ah? Then...shall I go there again?" Xiaonan said hesitantly.

"Konan, what happened?" Yahiko frowned. Konan was not so hesitant and unconfident in the past. After all, in the past, Xiaonan made the final decision on all matters of the Akatsuki organization.

No matter how you look at it now, Xiaonan is a bit too soft.

"Nothing..." Xiaonan sighed with a complicated expression and said hesitantly, "Brother Yuye, he's married."

Yu Ye's wedding is not widely spread in the ninja world. Basically, some people they know are actively invited, and some people come to join in the fun.

The situation in the Kingdom of Rain was obviously not suitable for a grand participation, so Yu Ye did not deliberately invite them, but just sent information.

But Xiaonan happened to have something to go over, and as a result, the people left faster than the information, and learned about it in advance.

When Xiaonan walked to Xianyin Island and found that the wedding had begun, everyone was confused.

Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she also knew that she didn't have the capital to compete with Kurama Qiyue and Hinata Mio now, and she didn't even think about gaining a reputation or anything.

But...I still feel uncomfortable.

Yahiko sighed after hearing this and scratched his head, not knowing how to feel relieved.

As a companion who had grown up together since childhood, he knew Xiaonan's feelings for Yu Ye very well.

That kind of complex emotion mixed with family affection, master-disciple affection and girlish affection is no thinner than pure love.

He also had a premonition that this day would come.

I just didn't expect it to be at this time.

If that's the case, it would be a bit hurtful to let Xiaonan go there again.

As for Yahiko himself, he also has a lot of itinerary to arrange.

He thought for a while and said: "The foothold of Sanshouyu Hanzo has not been found yet, but I just have a general direction. In this case, let's find the exact location first. We can't let Xianyin Island help with everything."

Xiaonan knew that Yahiko did not go to Senyin Island immediately because he was concerned about his own feelings, so he shook his head and said: "There is no need to be shy about this kind of thing. I am going to issue a commission and have the Intelligence Department send it there as soon as possible."

Yahiko heard this and knew that Xiaonan no longer acted like a daughter, so he nodded: "Let's entrust the task and find the Sanshou Fish together. Even if the Senyin Island side decides to take over the task immediately, it will take two or three days to get here. The sooner we can find it

Sanshouyu Hanzo, the faster you can return to the mission."

After the two people discussed it, they quickly got into work mode.

On the first day, send the entrusted task to Xianyin Island through the intelligence network.

The next day, Konan and Yahiko had already appeared in the south-central direction of the Land of Rain.

It's not too far from Yuyin Village, and it's about the same distance from Daming Mansion. It's within the reach of the North-South Commercial Road, and it's relatively prosperous and quiet.

The Akatsuki organization sent two teams of elites, slowly shrinking, to conduct reconnaissance inward.

Yahiko summarized the information: "From the intelligence and witnesses, Sansho Hanzo is indeed here. It is said that three years ago... he was seriously injured, and then he came here not long after staying in Amegakure Village."

Speaking of three years ago, Yahiko paused.

Events from three years ago flashed through his mind one by one.

At that time, it was because of his capture that the Akatsuki organization was almost destroyed.

If Uchiha Miya hadn't resurrected him and Konan, perhaps the Akatsuki organization would have disappeared long ago.

It seems that Sanshouyu Hanzo's injuries were caused after people from Senyin Island arrived.

Xiaonan also fell silent.

Although the two of them were resurrected, the one member of the former trio of the Akatsuki organization who survived became the only missing member of the team.

After several years, they heard no more news from Nagato.

It is unknown whether Nagato is dead or alive, captured, or imprisoned in a laboratory.

As for a better situation, they can't imagine it.

Because if Nagato was intact, they couldn't think of a reason why Nagato wouldn't come back.

After the war, Konoha liquidated the actions of Sunagakure Village, but there was no news from Nagato, and no one in Sunagakure Village had even heard of this person.

It was as if he had evaporated from the world.

Xiaonan took a deep breath, tried not to think about that aspect, and focused on the information in front of her.

In addition to intelligence personnel, their information is also provided by local residents.

Those ordinary people who are looked down upon by ordinary forces have long become their informants. This is why other forces cannot figure out why they can get the information.

Although the information provided by ordinary people is very trivial, as long as the amount is sufficient, some things that ordinary people cannot easily detect can be spliced ​​together.

Love reading books

Such as now.

Xiaonan looked at Sanshouyu Hanzo's shopping trip and his outing situation, and said: "It seems that this demigod is indeed old. He looks like an ordinary ninja who is taking care of himself."

Yahiko nodded: "But this is a normal situation. Even if a tiger gets old and its teeth and claws are no longer sharp, it still won't give up its territory easily."

Xiaonan collected the information and said: "Don't make any more moves recently, so as not to alert others."

With their current strength, it is difficult to be sure that Sanshouyu Hanzo will be left behind.

"Waiting for support——"

As soon as Xiaonan finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.

In the black smoke, the flames quickly engulfed the surrounding houses.

Everyone in the Akatsuki organization was stunned.

"That direction——"

Xiaonan's eyes widened, never expecting that trouble would first arise in the place where Sanshouyu Hanzo lived.

Yahiko frowned: "This explosion and flames... are Hanzo's signature ninjutsu. Did someone accidentally break into this guy?"

Yahiko quickly counted the number of people and recalled nearby members of the Akatsuki organization, fearing that one of his own might have strayed into Sansho Hanzo's sight.

Xiaonan took a deep breath. The two paths before her now were to evacuate quickly to avoid suffering disaster.

But in this way, if Sanshouyu Hanzo changes places after the attack, they will need to spend a lot of time to reposition themselves, and Hanzo will definitely be more vigilant at that time.

Time is not on their side.

The other path is more risky.

Xiaonan stared at the battle over there and noticed that the black smoke and flames suddenly disappeared, but soon reappeared from other locations.

This strange situation is not the result of Sanshouyu Hanzo.

At least it shows that this is not a fishing show by the Sansho Fish.

"Stop checking, everyone, come with me and take a look!"

Konan signaled Yahiko to stop checking, and took the lead in rushing over with others.

Another way at this time is to take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Although it is not as safe as the first route, it can achieve a quick victory for the overall situation.

I just don’t know who is there, what their strength is, and what their purpose is.

But since he dared to attack Hanzo at this time, he must have some strength.

Yahiko was giving the command just now and didn't notice so many details. Although he was worried, since Konan had already given the order, he could only choose to believe Konan at this time.

A dozen people who were faster passed through the noisy crowd and came to the place where the explosion occurred.

Xiaonan found a place at the highest position, looked over, and was immediately startled.

In the distance, in the courtyard of the deep house, the psychic beast Sanjiaoyu was lying on both sides of the courtyard - its head on one side and its body on the other.

There was blood all over the ground, and the toxins contained in the blood melted the turf. He was already dead and could no longer die.

This is a powerful intruder!

Xiaonan made a judgment immediately.

The fighting power of the psychic beast Sanshouyu itself is not weak, not to mention the advantage of being a psychic is that it can seize the time to run away when it cannot be defeated.

If you want to kill a psychic beast of this level, you must either have absolute crushing strength or some special means.

"How about it? Do you want to go in directly?" Yahiko walked over to Konan and asked.

Now both of them are not weak in strength. If the two of them join forces, Sanshouyu Hanzo in his old state will not be able to keep them.

"I don't know if it's friend or foe yet, let's see what's going on." Xiao Nan stared at the room. He could hear the sound of fighting inside, but couldn't see anything going on.

Although the people who come here are all targeting Sansho Hanzo, the enemy of my enemy may not always be a friend.

Because of the actions of the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain, more people were angered than usual.

If the other party only has a personal vendetta against Hanzo and is dissatisfied with the Akatsuki organization, rashly intervening may give Sanjioyu a chance.

The important thing now is to first determine who the other party is.

At this moment, the battle in the house finally had preliminary results.

A figure was violently thrown out of the window and fell into the yard.

"Is it still close?"

Xiaonan thought about it habitually, but soon realized something was wrong.

The figure lying in the yard turned out to be...Hanzo??

It's not that Konan is thinking about others' failure, but for people in the Land of Rain, the name Sansho Hanzo is the same as the name Senju Hashirama is heard by people in Konoha.

That was the top figure they had grown up with, and even their parents’ generation!

It’s a demigod that requires an incredible amount of strength to be overthrown!

But now, the one hunched over in the courtyard and vomiting blood is actually Hanzo!

Who on earth took action, actually——

Xiaonan looked in shock. Through the broken window, she vaguely saw a trace of red hair.

But the person inside quickly put on his hood again, leaving only a black swirling mask and a pair of scarlet eyes exposed.

"That's Uchiha...no, it's him!"

A familiar image originally appeared in Xiaonan's mind, but it was quickly shattered.

She recognized that this man was the masked man from Sunagakure Village who gained great fame during the Third Ninja World War. It was said that he was a traitor to the Uchiha family, but no one could tell more specifically, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in fear.

In the fog.

Yahiko frowned and looked at the masked man, thinking that he didn't go in directly to intervene just now.

Although they have no direct conflict with Sunagakure Village, everyone knows that the Country of Rain is siding with the Country of Iron and is a hostile force to Madara Uchiha.

The relationship between the two parties is definitely not harmonious.

However, why do Uchiha Madara’s people appear here?

And he even attacked Hanzo the Sansho Fish?

In the courtyard, the masked man looked at them blankly.

For a time, both sides fell into a strange calm.

Only the sound of Sanshouyu Hanzo coughing up blood could be heard from time to time.

I haven’t seen him for several years, and Hanzo the Sansho Fish is already very old.

He was already suffering from a lot of hidden troubles, and he had already started to decline a few years ago.

The hidden injuries caused by Hinata Mio's attack that year completely crushed his body.

The current Sanshouyu Hanzo is not even half as strong as he was at his peak.

More importantly, he no longer had the same spirit as before.

Even when he was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the battle, he actually...begged for mercy.

The masked man came back to his senses and sighed bitterly.

I don’t know whether he is sighing for the fall of the demigod or something else.

Finally, the magatama in his scarlet eyes turned.

Sansho fish Hanzo, who was already imprisoned, had half of his body moved away.

He also became two halves and became a companion with his pet sansho fish.

Dominant in those days, firmly at the pinnacle of the ninja world after the era of the first Hokage, it ushered in the final ending in a calm and almost mediocre way.

In addition to his strength mentality, his abilities were also restrained by the masked man.

No matter how powerful the teleportation technique is, it will only be weak when faced with the confinement of space.

If Sanshouyu's Hanzo Taijutsu still maintains its eight-point state, perhaps the masked man will pay a considerable price.

But when Hanzo Taijutsu no longer exists, and there is no life-threatening posture, those so-called ninjutsu and so-called poisonous gas attacks are just means to restrain oneself in the face of space exile.

The masked man raised his hand and took away half of the body.

Then, he looked back at Konan and Yahiko.

Things have changed and people have changed, and now they are even strangers.

This time, treat it as a farewell gift.

Even if they don't know it, the person under the mask is called Nagato.
