In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 269 Hanzo's Thoughts

In the Second Ninja World War, Konoha did not win the battlefield in the Land of Rain, so Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, naturally could not stay in the Land of Rain.

Then he naturally would not continue to teach Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, and continue to convey his ideas to them.

With Hanzo's power in the Land of Rain, without the protection of a strong man like Jiraiya, it was only a matter of time before he discovered Nagato's Rinnegan.

So what Hanzo saw was not the Akatsuki organization that could threaten his dominance over the Rain Country, but a rough gem who was born with the bloodline of the Rinnegan and was suspected to have the Uzumaki bloodline, and was worthy of his cultivation.

So naturally, these three teenagers were accepted as disciples by Hanzo.

"Senior Hanzo has misunderstood. Sand Village and Rain Village are allies. It is impossible for us to do anything that will harm the Rain Country. We are just passing through here."

Hanzo looked at Shimizu for a long time.

"I heard that you developed a new bloodline limit and fought against your Kazekage on equal terms."

Hanzo asked Shimizu.

"Lord Kazekage just gave way."

Shimizu said to Hanzo.

Hanzo was silent for a while, as if thinking about something.

"Master Hanzo, can you please give way to us juniors? We still have a mission to perform."

"Your mission shouldn't be urgent, right?"

Hanzo continued to ask Shimizu.

Shimizu raised an eyebrow.

What Hanzo meant by this was...

"Has the Hidden Rain Village encountered any problems that require the assistance of the Hidden Sand Village? Senior Hanzo can send someone to send a letter to the Third Kazekage. If the request is reasonable, I believe the Third Kazekage will not refuse the request for an ally."

"No, this is not a big problem, but I think it would be best if you were to do it."

"Oh? Master Hanzo wants to..."

"You guys can fight me, right here, and just stop when you're done. In exchange, I can..."

Hanzo paused.

He originally wanted to say that he would send someone to assist Qingshui in his mission.

I just thought that since the other party wanted to hide his identity, he probably didn't want others to know the content of the mission.

Moreover, Shimizu and three other jonin were dispatched for this mission, so it should not be an easy task. Sending people there might result in loss of manpower or even involvement in disputes between major powers.

"You can enter the intelligence room of Yuyin to view all the intelligence collected by the Rain Country, at least the key intelligence that will not involve Yuyin Village."

"I agree, but I hope that the people of the Hidden Rain Village will not reveal anything about our presence here today."

Qingshui thought for a while and then spoke.

After a short while of observation and thinking, he roughly understood what Hanzo might want to do.

I guess it's just to show Nagato and the other three what the top geniuses from big countries who are close to their age are like, to broaden their horizons and bring them some pressure that can be converted into motivation.

This kind of thing is harmless and will not cause them any loss. At most it will waste a little time.

But compared to the benefits, it is not a waste at all.

The Rain Kingdom is a neighboring country of the Grass Kingdom.

During the Second Ninja World War, Hanzo fought all the way to the Iron Kingdom in order to make the Rain Kingdom the sixth great country.

The Grass Country is located right between the Rain Country and the Iron Country. This means that during the Second Shinobi World War, the Grass Country was probably defeated by Hanzo once, but it was only after the intervention of Konoha and Iwagakure that Hanzo's power was reduced.

If Hanzo had been born seventy or eighty years earlier, with his abilities, he would have been able to establish a large ninja village like the five first-generation Kages.

He suffered the disadvantage of being born late.

Hanzo has definitely thought about annexing the Land of Grass, and he must have a lot of information about the Hidden Grass Village.

At least that place is not within the reach of Sunagakure. There are only a small number of secret bases there that are used to collect and transmit intelligence from all over the ninja world.

The information from Hanzo is definitely more useful than what Sunagakure has on hand. It can help him understand more about the situation in the Land of Grass and save a lot of time.

"Please move aside and watch carefully."

Hanzo raised one hand and signaled his men to retreat.

"You three go ahead. Fighting against a top ninja master like Hanzo is a good training opportunity. Otherwise, if Hanzo and I fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to intervene except Ye Cang."

Qingshui took a step back and let Maki and the others go first.

Hanzo was well-known for his love of giving advice to the younger generation. It was he who bestowed the title of the Three Ninjas, and Shimizu was also given Hanzo's swordsmanship notes.

Even if there were reasons for what happened and Hanzo's actions were related to the situation at the time, no one could deny that before he became as disheartened as he was in the original time and space, he was still a man of great vision and bearing.

Perhaps it is because he could have come this far with the advice of some older predecessors.

For Shimizu, fighting and communicating with strong men of this level can bring certain gains. And for young jonin like Maki, it is even more valuable to receive guidance from the world's top figures.

"Hanzo-senpai, then we are offended!"

Maki looked eager to try.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

In the eyes of everyone in the ninja world, Hanzo is a big shot whose strength can rival the Five Kage, so Maki is of course very excited.

Hanzo didn't use his full strength right away, and he didn't even draw his sword. Instead, he let Maki and Sado show a few moves to demonstrate their strength before he tied them up with the chain of his sickle and threw them aside.

On the contrary, Hanzo only became serious when dealing with Ye Cang.

"Wow, what a powerful ninjutsu!"

The orange-haired boy, who was covered in a black robe, stared with wide eyes at the fireball that was flying wildly in the field and evaporating everything.

"She looks like she's only three or four years older than us."

The red-haired boy watched the fight in the field with his Samsara Eyes in a daze.

"Is this the genius ninja from the great country that Hanzo-sensei wants us to chase after?"

The blue-haired girl took advantage of the paper umbrella to stare at Ye Cang who was struggling under Hanzo's hands, with a bit of longing in her eyes.

"Konan, you will definitely become such a powerful female ninja!"

Yahiko said to his companions with a laugh.

"Scorch Escape: Over-steaming Kill!"

"Water Release·Water Wave Hand!"

The blazing Burning Style and the waterfall-like Water Style collided with each other, evaporating a large amount of steam. A vast expanse of white blocked the vision, and the sound of metal clashing could be faintly heard from it.

Soon, the white mist dissipated, and Hanzo held the sickle in one hand and placed it across Ye Cang's neck.

Shimizu appeared in front of Hanzo in an instant without him noticing, and used his sword to block Hanzo's sickle.
