From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 33 Cicada, Mantis, and Oriole
Hanzo rubbed his temples, his right eyelid twitching.

For some reason, ever since that day when he agreed to cooperate with Danzo, he had always felt uneasy.

It was as if an invisible net had quietly enveloped him, and he was like an insect trapped in that net, struggling helplessly.

"Sigh, it seems that people become more and more worried as they get older."

Hanzo pinched his throbbing brow and sighed again. If he were ten years younger, would he have this kind of mentality?
"Lord Hanzo, it's time to set off."

Outside the door, his most trusted elite Jonin were waiting for orders.

Today is the agreed date.

"lets go."

Hanzo slowly rose to his feet, his gaze gradually hardening.

He remains the leader of Amegakure, the legendary Hanzo of the Salamander who overpowered the three legendary Sannin of Konoha!
This was just a simple mission; in his long ninja career, it wasn't even one of the most difficult. The only troublesome one was Tsunade.

Soon, the village of Amegakure will be bathed in light.

Looking at the overcast sky, Hanzo, who was stepping out of the underground for the first time in months, thought to himself.

On the outskirts of Amegakure, not far from the village, Hanzo led a dozen of his most elite Jonin to the assembly point.

Tsunade, leading Hikaru, and Uchiha Muneki were already waiting there.

Fully armed, Hanzo showed no signs of lethargy; instead, he exuded an aura of dominance, as if this was his true self.

Is this the little devil?
Hanzo was very careful and glanced very discreetly at the Anbu following behind Tsunade.

To avoid being detected by his Sharingan, which has keen senses, he quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending nothing was wrong, and said to Tsunade, "To avoid any accidents, I brought along the elite troops of Amegakure. We went to so much trouble, so I hope Konoha will give us some compensation afterward. What do you think?"

"I will tell the old man the truth."

Tsunade said calmly.

"That's good."

Hanzo squinted his eyes in apparent satisfaction, then fell silent and stopped looking at the mission objective.

Next, he only needs to wait for the right opportunity. Once Tsunade is drawn away by Root, he must kill the target as quickly as possible so that he can find a reason to exonerate himself afterward.

Hanzo, who was deep in thought about his next plan, didn't notice that he was being watched.

"Hanzo glanced at me casually just now."

Hanzo, who thought he had concealed himself well, could not hide anything from Uchiha Munetsuki's eyes.

Out of caution, he would often use his spiritual vision to silently observe everyone's mental body, as well as their body movements and facial expressions from a third-person perspective.

In the instant they met, he sensed Hanzo's unusual behavior.

Although he was trying his best to disguise it, some extremely subtle body movements and micro-expressions on his face undoubtedly revealed that he was trying to hide his intentions.

It's hostility!
Even the most skilled person in disguise cannot hide their emotions in front of an audience.

Judging from the color emanating from Hanzo's ethereal body, it was undoubtedly filled with hostile killing intent; he intended to attack them!

No, Hanzo's target couldn't be Tsunade.

Uchiha Muneki immediately dismissed this possibility.

Given Hanzo's personality, he would never risk offending the last bloodline of the Senju clan, as that would be tantamount to slapping the Third Hokage in the face.

Beneath the mask, Uchiha Munetsuki revealed a playful smile.

Since Tsunade has been ruled out, that means Hanzo's target is him!

This is a bit strange.

He and Hanzo had never met before, and when they met a couple of days ago, the other party had not shown any hostility.

Why did Hanzo reveal such deadly hostility towards him when they met again after only two days?

Unless Uchiha Munetsuki sneered inwardly, "Heh, Danzo's doing again?"

Thinking about it carefully, apart from that bastard Danzo, there's basically no other reason.

First of all, Black Zetsu is out of the question. The filial son has more important things to do, and he's not worth Black Zetsu wasting his time on Hanzo or him.

Is it a coincidence?

Uchiha Muneki smiled knowingly, looking at Hanzo with a meaningful gaze: "Even fate is on my side. I was just looking for an excuse."

Hanzo wanted to kill him, but didn't he also want to kill Hanzo?

Now, the chess piece has been placed.

The outcome of this game depends on who has the superior skill.

What seems like a long time has passed has actually only taken a few seconds.

Having clarified the whole story, Uchiha Muneki remained silent, quietly awaiting Hanzo's 'performance'.

Now that he had guessed the other party's intentions, he was actually a little curious about how Hanzo planned to lure Tsunade away from him.

Each member of the group harbored their own secrets and silently traversed the canyon.

Soon, they arrived at the sealing location. "This is it."

Uchiha Munegetsu determined the location of the seal based on the scroll.

However, the area around the sealed area was severely damaged, and it was clear that someone had taken something from inside.

Tsunade frowned, which meant she would have to work overtime again.

"Someone broke the seal not long ago," Hanzo asked. "It seems your whereabouts have been exposed."

"This is troublesome," Tsunade sighed, feeling a headache coming on. "Mission changed, let's continue tracking."

Because the time was so short, the person did not erase the traces.

As they continued their pursuit, they soon discovered two identical tracks at the end of the canyon, leading to two different paths.

"It seems we'll have to part ways," Hanzo said calmly.

“The enemy is clever.” Tsunade did not object. Now that the two groups were separated, it was the best choice: “In that case, we will be one group, and you will be one group.”

"it is good."

Hanzo led his men and followed the trail on the left.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, along with Hikaru and Uchiha Muneki, continued their pursuit along the trail on the right.

The scenery on both sides rushed past rapidly.

"I see it!" Tsunade's eyes sharpened. "It's on our side!"

A figure appeared not far ahead, carrying something wrapped in black cloth. Seeing someone chasing from behind, the figure immediately increased its speed.

"Trying to run?!" Tsunade sneered and stomped her foot.

boom!
The ground instantly crumbled.

With the powerful impact, Tsunade was launched out like a cannonball.

"Stop right there!"

Tsunade raised her right leg high and fell from the sky like a battle axe.

Boom! ! !
The ground, tens of meters high, crumbled instantly, and the resulting shockwave shot straight into the sky.

The terrifying destructive force shattered the hard rock, like a meteorite falling from the sky, creating a huge crater in the ground.

The ninja in front was thrown away by the shockwave, coughing up blood and his chest caved in; he was clearly not going to make it.

"Who sent you?" Tsunade stood in front of him, hands on her hips, and questioned him condescendingly.

"Hehehe"

To everyone's surprise, the man showed no fear; instead, he revealed a strange smile.

Before Tsunade, who was feeling a little uneasy, could even speak, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that the rocks near Hikari were wriggling.

"not good!"

Tsunade turned and rushed towards Hikaru: "Get out of there!"

Just now, she was in a hurry to pursue, so she left Xiaoguang where she was, and Uchiha Munezuki was also put some distance away.

The next moment, the writhing rock was lifted up, and several dark figures suddenly darted out.

"what!"

Before Xiao Guang could even scream, he was captured by those dark figures and forced to run wildly towards the jungle.

"Damn it!"

Tsunade's pupils widened in fury as she stomped her foot on the ground, leaving a trail of afterimages in her wake.

Watching Hikari being kidnapped, Uchiha Muneki muttered to himself, "The method is old, but I have to admit it's very effective."

He approached the dying ninja and looked down at him.

Uchiha Munegetsu

The ninja gave a cruel smile: "Lord Danzo sends his greetings."

"Oh."

Uchiha Muneki spoke calmly, then stepped on his neck.

Click!

The crisp sound of bone cracking sounded.

The ninja stared wide-eyed, a sliver of will to live remaining in his pupils, blood bubbles spilling from his mouth as he slowly died.

He doesn't have the bad habit of confiding in a dead person.

Uchiha Muneki took off his mask and threw it away, then put his black-rimmed glasses back on and gave them a light push: "When you see Danzo, remember to give him my regards."

Ah... first round of recommendations, so nervous, ORZ
