"What will the Rain Country look like in the future?"
Walking out of the palace of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, Hanzo, who had successfully persuaded the Daimyo, looked up at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
This was something very difficult for Hanzo to imagine. He, the demigod, would actually feel confused about his decision.
He always believed that he was a ninja with firm beliefs, so whenever he met a ninja with beliefs, even if the other party was an enemy, he would give the other party a way out because he admired the other party's beliefs and persistence.
But at this moment, Hanzo didn't know whether what he did could be considered right or whether he had followed through on his beliefs.
In order to no longer be hostile to the Ninja Clan and no longer have to worry about Sosuke's attacks all day long, he used his prestige in the Rain Country and the trust of the daimyo to easily get the daimyo to agree to the Ninja Clan's conditions.
While persuading the Daimyo, Hanzo was actually persuading himself.
He told himself that the Ninja Clan did not kill the Iwagakure ninjas, and that the Ninja Clan was as peace-loving as rumored.
He told himself that with the power of the Ninja Clan, the Rain Country would be stronger, and the country would be more peaceful and safer, instead of becoming more chaotic.
Is this really the case? In fact, Hanzo doesn't know that all this is just him paralyzing himself by thinking the best possible situation.
After the cooperation officially takes effect, the Ninja Clan will truly be equivalent to another Rain Village, and will have the right to represent the Rain Country in wars with other countries.
This means that the actions of the Ninja Clan will greatly affect the future of the Rain Country.
For Hanzo, the Rain Country is his home, and today, he has entrusted the future of his home to others.
"I really didn't follow through on my beliefs." Hanzo couldn't continue to deceive himself.
When the words "I don't know" appeared in his mind, he actually already knew what his actions meant, but he was unwilling to admit it.
After all, he was a demigod who was admired by everyone, and he shouldn't have made such a big mistake.
He couldn't remember when he started to like making excuses for himself.
The reason he withdrew after the failed siege on Sosuke was for the sake of the Rain Village. His reasons for everything that happened with the Ninja Clan were the mistakes of Iwagakure and Shimura Danzo. He seems to be very good at finding all kinds of excuses now.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only move on." Hanzo sighed softly.
Although he is reflecting now, Hanzo is unable to go back and clarify all the interests with the Daimyo and then change the order.
Because he is no longer the demigod with firm beliefs. Now he is just the leader of the Rain Village who wants to live until he dies a natural death.
After returning to the Rain Village, Hanzo sent ninjas to follow the Iwagakure to restore the Ninja Clan.
Hanzo was willing to meet the requirements of the Ninja Clan, but he also had a request on his side, that the cooperation negotiations must take place near the Rain Village.
The credibility of the Ninja Clan in Hanzo's eyes is not even as high as that of the Iwagakure Clan, and the two sides are truly mortal enemies.
Hanzo was very worried that the Ninja Clan would stage a fake cooperation to encircle and kill him, just like they did with Sosuke last time.
Hanzo didn't have this worry when he was near the Rain Village. No matter how strong Sosuke was, he couldn't destroy the entire Rain Village by himself. He didn't have that much physical strength and chakra.
Many ninjas in the Ninja Clan expressed their objections to Hanzo's request, because it sounded too similar to the previous siege.
"Why choose a place near the Rain Village? It should be somewhere in between the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village."
"Hanzo definitely has bad intentions in choosing this location."
The Shinobi clan ninjas showed extreme distrust towards Hanzo.
Yahiko opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He was largely responsible for falling into the trap last time. If he fell into the trap again because of his words this time, Yahiko would be too ashamed to face his fellow Ninjas.
Kakuzu's expression was indifferent. This time he felt that Hanzo had no other ideas and was just scared by the beating from the Ninja Clan.
Because it is too easy for the Ninja Clan to break the siege. Mu Yue only brings Kakuzu and Nagato with him. What can the Rain Village use to siege them?
If a real fight breaks out, they could even kill a group of Rain Ninjas and leave calmly.
"It can be closer to the Rain Village, but the specific location and time will be decided by our Ninja Clan. During the discussion, you Rain Ninjas can bring as many ninjas as you want." Mu Yue did not agree to Hanzo's request, but proposed a compromise plan.
He was not worried that Hanzo would set up a siege again like he did last time. As long as his main body was there, it would not be difficult to break out with the Ninjas of the Ninja Clan.
Mu Yue wanted to tell Hanzo one thing through her refusal, that the Ninja Clan would not agree to any unreasonable request from the Rain Village, and don't think that just by adding a "must", the Ninja Clan will really have to do it.
Hanzo could feel Mu Yue's confidence and sarcasm towards him from his answer. Rain Ninja could bring any number of ninjas with him, which was almost like saying to him straight away, "I have no thoughts about you. If you're afraid of death, just bring more people with you."
Although he was a little annoyed, Hanzo felt much more relieved because this meant that this cooperation discussion was most likely not a conspiracy against him.
Of course, it is most likely not 100%, so Hanzo still brought 80% of the ninjas from the Rain Village to participate in the cooperation discussions.
On Sunday noon, Hanzo brought a large number of Rain Ninjas, Mu Yue brought eight Shinobi Clan ninjas, and Huang Tu brought a part of the elite Iwagakure ninjas. The three parties held discussions on cooperation near a village on a flat ground.
This time was chosen by Mu Yue after careful consideration. First, he had Sunday off and did not have to train the Anbu. Second, if it was held at noon, he would still have time to go to Tsunade's house to cook dinner if he traveled at full speed.
Hanzo looked at the somewhat familiar-looking Shinobi clan ninjas, feeling mixed emotions.
If he had really cooperated with the Ninja Clan that time instead of surrounding and killing them, what would the situation be like now?
"Let's exchange opinions first." Mu Yue said lightly as she sat opposite Hanzo.
Hanzo originally thought that when they met again, Sosuke would make sarcastic remarks to him out of hatred and disdain, but Mu Yue did not target him and started talking about business directly.
"After the cooperation, the Ninjas of the Shinobi Clan are not allowed to harm each other with the Ninjas of the Rain Village. Both sides must jointly protect the peace of the Rain Country. If there is a foreign invasion, they need to fight the enemy together..." Hanzo asked his men to take out the information and handed the prepared information to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue also asked Nagato to take out the information they had prepared and hand it over to the Rain Ninja.
Maybe he really didn't want to be the enemy of the Ninja Clan anymore. Mu Yue found that Hanzo was unexpectedly honest this time. He didn't even play word games, which was basically in line with the general wishes of the Ninja Clan.
"This cooperation will only last for five years. After five years, the Ninja Clan will decide whether to continue the cooperation based on the performance of the Rain Village." Mu Yue set a time limit for the cooperation.
Hanzo was a little surprised, but agreed to Mu Yue's plan.
He felt that this was better than no time limit and cooperation. If the Ninja Clan really made the Rain Country worse and worse, he still had a chance to save it.
"Spring is finally coming to the Land of Rain." Yahiko was very excited.
He didn't expect that the cooperation discussions would go so smoothly. The two parties had clearly regarded each other as mortal enemies a few days ago, but now they had reached a cooperation so smoothly.
Yahiko can't wait to eliminate all the factors that are causing chaos in the Rain Country and restore peace to the country.
Nagato also showed a sincere smile on his face. Although he could not resurrect his dead parents, his actions would prevent more people from losing their parents.
"Teacher Sosuke is really making the Rain Country a better place." Xiaonan gave Mu Yue the paper flowers she folded.
Although they have been working for peace since they founded the Akatsuki organization, they are actually just protecting a few villages with their own strength.
But Mu Yue is different. With her personal charm, Mu Yue led the Ninja Clan to travel around the Rain Country in a short period of time and helped people in many places solve various difficulties.
Because of Mu Yue's powerful strength, even the Rain Village did not dare to provoke the Shinobi Clan again after the siege failed. They regarded it as an equal force and finally reached a cooperation with the Shinobi Clan, giving the Rain Country hope of restoring peace.
"We are working together to make the Rain Country a better place." Mu Yue replied.
The perfect ending of the cooperation between the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village made all three parties involved very satisfied.
Hanzo and the Rain Village no longer have to worry about Sosuke, the unrivaled Fire Style Master. The Ninja Clan can finally focus on developing and dealing with the problems of the Rain Country. Huang Tu finally completed the task assigned to him by Oonoki.
"The next step is to stir up conflict between Konoha and the Land of Rain." Huangtu looked at the secret mission scroll.
Iwagakure is not expending its energy on the development of the Rain Country, its real purpose is to disgust Konoha.
However, Ohnoki, who had experience as a troublemaker, knew that such things could not be rushed, as flaws would appear if rushed. Therefore, the plan to provoke conflict did not need to be executed immediately, but only preparations could be made first.
After reading the complete plan, Huang Tu was filled with admiration for his father, who was truly such a ninja.
In the end, in order to provoke a conflict between the Ninja Clan and Konoha, Ohnoki even wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Hanzo and the Ninja Clan, starting from the old grudges between the two forces, and join forces with Hanzo to trap the Ninja Clan.
"Sosuke, in this troubled world, it's a pity to have no one to rely on." Huang Tu shook his head and felt a little sorry for Sosuke.
He likes Sosuke's personality and character very much. If it weren't for the need of Iwagakure Village, Huang Tu believed that he would definitely become good friends with Sosuke.
But before he became Huang Tu, he was first a ninja from the Iwagakure Village.
After making a special trip to the Ninja Clan's headquarters to say goodbye to Sosuke, Huang Tu went to the Land of Grass to continue his mission.
Originally, he was not required to go to the Land of Grass, but the Grass Ninjas believed that the Iwagakure ninja who was talking to them could not represent the will of Iwagakure, so they had to trouble Huang Tu, the son of the Tsuchikage and a well-known strong man of Iwagakure, to make the trip.
After Huangtu arrived in the Land of Grass, Iwagakure, who was carrying out a mission, quickly explained the current mission progress and intelligence to Huangtu.
"The new Kusagakure leader is the leader of Kusagakure, a typical radical ninja. He has a strong desire to cooperate with Iwagakure, but he is worried that he will be used as cannon fodder by us."
"Is there no movement over at Grass Flower?" Huang Tu asked.
Kusano Minor and Kusano Hana are the two major factions in Kusagakure. Kusano Minor is the radical faction, while Kusano Hana is the conservative faction.
"We carried out it very secretly. The Grass Country Ninja leader didn't know that the Grass Country Ninja leader had the idea of cooperating with the Iwagakure to deal with the Konoha Ninja forces in the Grass Country." The Iwagakure Ninja replied.
Huang Tu nodded slightly. If the steady Grass Flower knew about this, she would definitely try every means to sabotage the cooperation, and it would be bad if the Grass Ninja leader woke up.
…
Konoha Village.
Southern Forest.
Today Kakashi did not rush to start training, but tried to teach Yan Gou the earth-style ninjutsu.
In his opinion, since Yan Gou could master the changes in the properties of earth-attributed chakra without any instruction, he must have a very high talent in earth escape, and the most suitable thing for him to practice is earth escape ninjutsu.
"Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!"
Kakashi quickly changed his hand gestures, and under the effect of earth attribute chakra, a wall of earth rose from the ground, with a dog head that looked like a rock dog carved in the middle of the wall.
"rock!"
The rock dog barked excitedly when it saw this, jumped onto the earth wall and stood on the big dog's head, then jumped onto Kakashi.
"Don't play yet, try what I just said." Kakashi grabbed the rock dog and put it on the ground and said.
Rock Dog scratched his head with his paws, trying to imitate what Kakashi had just done. However, his paws were unable to complete the hand seals like Kakashi's, and after a lot of random operations, he failed to successfully raise the ground.
Kakashi had a thoughtful expression. It seemed a little difficult for Yangou to use ninjutsu in this state.
After a few more tries Kakashi thought of the hard stone on Rock Dog's neck.
"You don't need to learn my ninjutsu. See if you can use chakra to control the stones on your body to move." Kakashi said.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, the stone on Rock Dog's neck flew out like a shuriken and pierced into the big tree in front of Rock Dog.
"Are those stones really not simple?" Kakashi didn't expect that Rock Dog would succeed in one try.
With the power of Rock Dog's flying stone just now, it would not be difficult to kill a Genin in an instant by surprise.
However, Rock Dog's subsequent performance made Kakashi realize that Rock Dog was not yet able to participate in the battle.
The rock dog couldn't control the direction of the stone and could only throw it randomly based on luck. After throwing it a few times, it looked exhausted.
Kakashi sat on the ground and stroked the tired rock dog to comfort it. At this time, a voice full of youth and passion came.
"If you don't cross the finish line in time, you have to run again a hundred times!"
Might Guy is excitedly racing against Riolu in a timed race.
Might Guy was leading in the front, while Riolu gritted his teeth and chased after Might Guy.
Whoosh!
Just as the distance between them was getting bigger and bigger, Riolu suddenly burst into speed, moving a distance quickly in a short period of time before returning to normal speed.
"Flash of Movement?" Kakashi felt that Might Guy's summoning beast talent might be focused on physical skills.
Riolu has strong physical strength and perseverance that can be seen with the naked eye. Now he has mastered skills like teleportation. He is born to practice physical skills.
"Rin, you don't have to envy them. In ninja novels, usually the later the characters appear, the more powerful they are. Our ninja beasts hatched later, so they are definitely more powerful than theirs." Obito comforted Nohara Rin when he saw her looking at Gandog and Riolu after she came over.
'Nohara Rin' gave Obito a strange look.
"Obito, I'm not envious, and here I am." Nohara Rin said with a grin while holding a Pokémon egg.
Obito was stunned for a moment and quickly looked around again. Nohara Rin's figure disappeared, and there was only a red-haired fox with cunning eyes in its place.
"How rude, my name is not Xiaolin." Soraya said with his head held high.
It got harder, Obito's fist got harder.
This inherently evil red-haired fox actually dared to make him look bad in front of Xiaolin, so he deserved his death.
"I'm asking you to practice illusion, not to play tricks on others." Shisui grabbed Zoroark's Fate's neck with a helpless look on his face, lifted it up and looked straight into its light blue eyes.
"So this is called teasing, Zoroark didn't you know?" Zoroark said cutely with his eyes wide open.
It's just a baby who's only a dozen days old, and it doesn't know anything too complicated.
Shisui stared at Zoroark for half a minute, and finally put him down. It seemed a bit too much to expect a child of only one and a half months to be sensible.
"You're just pretending. The foxes in ninja novels are not good guys. Each one is more deceiving than the other." Obito expressed his disbelief.
A dark red light flashed, and Nohara Rin appeared in front of Obito again, with her hands on her hips and a dissatisfied look on her face, "You are not a good person."
Looking at the attitude that Nohara Rin had never shown before, Obito was surprised. It turned out that being angry could be so cute. If it was Nohara Rin who said this, Obito felt that such words would not be unacceptable.
Obito quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and dispelled the illusion. This red-haired fox should not be underestimated.
"You should exercise your body first." In the end, Shisui grabbed the back of Zoroark's neck and kept some distance from Obito and the others.
Although I don't know who he learned this from, Zoroark does inexplicably like to play pranks or tease people.
No, not only was he teasing people, Zoroark was also trying to tease Rock Dog and Riolu.
But they all failed. Rock Dog smelled the scent on Zoroark, and Riolu discovered it faster than Rock Dog, but Shisui couldn't figure out the reason.
"When will you hatch?" Obito sighed in his heart as he picked up the Pokémon egg.
Seeing that Kakashi and the other ninja beasts had started training and had acquired a certain level of combat capability, Obito became extremely anxious.
Because he started slowly, he couldn't hold his head up in front of Kakashi for a long time, and he didn't want his ninja beast to follow his old path.
As if it had heard Obito's thoughts, the Pokémon egg in Obito's arms suddenly burst into a dazzling white light, enveloping Obito's entire body.
Obito's original sense of loss was instantly thrown away, and his ninja egg was finally hatched.
"With the blessing of Mu Yue Immortal, I must make a ninja beast that is both strong and handsome." Obito silently prayed for the protection of Mu Yue Immortal in his heart.
At this moment, the ninja egg in Nohara Lin's hand suddenly burst out with dazzling white light.
The sudden burst of two white lights attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Xiaolin's ninja egg hatched so quickly?" Kakashi was a little surprised.
The hatching of Obito's Ninja Beast Egg has been normal and it has been taking quite some time. Nohara Rin's Ninja Beast Egg has only been acquired not long ago and it is the fastest hatching egg among the disciples.
