Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Yes, everything is progressing according to plan.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu left satisfied.

It also needs to gather the White Zetsu created by Madara Uchiha using the Gedo Mazo.

Black Zetsu is Kaguya's will, so she can directly command these White Zetsu.

The number of White Zetsu left by the mother was limited, and some were consumed over thousands of years.

We urgently need to hire more staff.

Anyway, Madara created so many White Zetsu that a few hundred less wouldn't be noticeable.

"Mother, I'll be able to get you out soon!"

Lianye had no idea that Madara had awakened the Rinnegan, nor did he know that the mastermind behind it all, Black Zetsu, had just come to visit him in person.

After the minor incident, life returned to normal.

These are the lands of water, earth, and thunder.

Because of what happened back then, the three parties dislike each other and often clash at the border.

After the ninja of Kirigakure died once again at the border.

The Third Mizukage could no longer sit still and immediately declared war on the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning!

The army is stationed in the Land of Rain, which it uses as a battlefield.

The Third and Second Tsuchikage did not back down upon seeing this.

They also dispatched troops to the Land of Rain.

When Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, learned of the situation, he was completely stunned.

These ninjas from a powerful nation don't care about the life or death of their small country at all!

No, he must resist the oppression of the great powers!

He wanted to let the big countries know that their small country was not to be trifled with.

Hanzo the Salamander then launched a direct counterattack against the ninja forces stationed in the Land of Rain.

As the three great powers fought, they suddenly discovered that the natives of Amegakure had launched a sneak attack!

They're absolutely courting death!

Thus, the three great powers temporarily ceased their war and turned their attention to Amegakure.

Hanzo the Salamander dared to take on the Three Kingdoms, so he must have had his own trump cards.

He was defeated by the "Konoha Poison Master" back then, but luckily escaped with his life.

From then on, he began to study powerful toxins and then implant them into venom sacs inside his body.

The toxin is many times more potent than before.

That's why they had the audacity to declare war on three major powers at the same time!

The three great powers initially did not take the small Amegakure village seriously.

In their eyes, it was just a small country.

If the three countries join forces, they can destroy the country in less than a day.

But they did not expect that the toxins in Hanzo the salamander were so terrifying.

If one is accidentally contaminated, they will immediately lose their ability to fight.

One Hanzo the Salamander was enough to make the armies of three countries suffer greatly.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Second Raikage's expression was extremely unpleasant upon receiving the news from the front lines.

The image of the "Konoha Poison Master" involuntarily popped into his mind.

Why would the leader of a small country be so skilled at using poison?

Damn it, I should have chosen a different battlefield.

Now we've kicked a hornet's nest.

Blame the Third Mizukage for being such an idiot; he couldn't even pick a good battle location!

After dealing with the Rain Country, we will never let the Water Country off the hook!

With three countries joining forces, how could they possibly fail to deal with a small country?

Just as the Raikage had predicted.

Despite the potent poison of Hanzo the Salamander, he was always alone.

Facing three major powers simultaneously, they quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

Is this the tragedy of small countries?

Sunagakure Village, Kazekage's office.

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, looked at the intelligence in his hand, somewhat eager to try it out.

"The fighting has finally started!"

The three shadows of water, earth, and lightning argued for years, and finally war broke out!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Land of Wind.

Victory in war would grant one a great fortune.

The Land of Wind is too poor.

Even with all efforts to squeeze the resources of the Daming Prefecture, the annual fiscal allocation is still pitifully small.

Anyway, it can't compare to the other countries.

Only through war can one acquire vast amounts of wealth and resources.

They just need to watch a few countries fight like dogs, and then they can step in and reap the benefits when the time is right.

"Victory in the war belongs to the Land of Wind."

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, glanced at him and a smile crept onto his lips.

Go ahead and fight, the fiercer the better.

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

"So a fight really broke out?"

Shimura Danzo's eyes lit up as he looked at the intelligence that had been sent back.

"Danzo, you're not planning to get involved, are you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.

He felt that the war between the three kingdoms had nothing to do with Konoha, and that they had no need to participate.

In the face of the death and suffering brought by war, the money gained is of no importance.

"That's right, this war will show all nations the power of Konoha!"

Danzo Shimura said with excitement.

Only by using overwhelming force to thoroughly inflict pain and fear upon them will these guys dare not covet the Land of Fire again.

Moreover, after decades of development, the village truly needs a war to prove itself to the ninja world.

"Danzo, you're only increasing casualties. This war has nothing to do with us, so why are you getting involved?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with dissatisfaction.

He felt that Danzo should not have joined, and that they should cherish the hard-won peace!

"Enough, Hiruzen!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to continue persuading him, but Danzo Shimura coldly interrupted him.

"Remember this: I am the Hokage!"

"Danzo, you'll regret this!"

Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi got up and left, intending to go outside and calm down.

Whenever he disagreed with Danzo on ideological matters, he would go out to calm down.

Especially when Danzo uttered that classic line.

Hiruzen sometimes wondered if he were the Hokage and could use those words to suppress Danzo.

Unfortunately, he wasn't the Hokage.

"Since we're out, let's call Lian Ye over."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

……

……

P.S.: After resting for two days, I feel refreshed and much happier writing now. Please don't let the book sit unfinished, and it would be great if you could send some small gifts to support me, *sobs*...

Chapter 416 Danzo's Double Standards

The Hokage's office.

"Danzo, what do you want with me?"

Renya followed Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose face remained dark throughout, into the office.

He was just relaxing at home in the sun when Hiruzen called him over.

"Take a look." Shimura Danzo tossed the documents on the table to Renya.

Lianye took the document and began to read it, murmuring softly.

Has war broken out again?

However, it seems that the Second Shinobi World War had nothing to do with Konoha Village.

It was essentially a war between several countries involving water, earth, thunder, and rain.

Wait, Hanzo the Salamander is still alive!

I hadn't heard from him in years and thought he was long dead.

But it'll be soon.

The Land of Rain is no match for the three great powers; defeat is only a matter of time.

At that time, Hanzo the Salamander will most likely die on the battlefield.

Do you want to participate in this war?

After reading the intelligence, Renya looked at Shimura Danzo across from her.

Given this guy's personality, he'll most likely participate in the war to demonstrate Konoha's strength.

He didn't seem to care about that.

The village's current fighting strength far surpasses that of the other villages, so whether we fight or not makes little difference.

It all depends on Danzo's choice.

Faced with Renya's questioning gaze, Shimura Danzo did not rush to answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Do you think I should get involved in this war?

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "???"

That bastard Danzo is now actually negotiating with people!

This wasn't the case in the office just now!

He sensed Danzo's differential treatment and was so angry that he almost coughed up blood.

I never imagined there could be such a huge gap between people.

That's enough for me! Hiruzen, I am the Hokage!
