Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 112 Tsuchikage, please support me in becoming Hokage!

Northern part of the Land of Rain.

Hanzo looked at Yahiko, who had come to report, with some surprise: "An envoy from Iwagakure wants to negotiate?"

Yahiko nodded: "Yes, Lord Hanzo."

"I think it's a great opportunity for Iwagakure to initiate peace talks; it's beneficial for both the village and the Land of Rain."

Hanzo narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then nodded: "In that case, go and bring the Iwagakure envoy here!"

About half an hour later.

The Hidden Rock Messenger has arrived.

After dismissing Yahiko, Hanzo looked at the five Iwa ninja and asked, "You want to negotiate?"

Looking up at Hanzo atop the hill, the leading Iwa ninja, Obsidian, spoke up: "Lord Hanzo, strictly speaking, this isn't a peace talk, but a cooperation!"

"cooperate?"

Hanzo scoffed, "We're enemies now!"

Obsidian smiled slightly and said, "But Amegakure and Konoha were enemies in the past, but now they've become allies, haven't they?"

"There are enemies and friends among people, but there are no enemies among ninja villages or nations among nations."

Hanzo's expression softened slightly, but his gaze remained unmoved: "Just state your purpose!"

Obsidian's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Lord Hanzo, although the Amekage is currently at war with the Grass Village and even has the upper hand, even if they defeat the Grass Village, I doubt Konoha would allow the Amekage to take over the Land of Grass, would they?"

Hanzo remained expressionless.

Obsidian continued, "Because Konoha needs the Land of Grass as a buffer, and doesn't want Amegakure to become too powerful and threaten itself."

"Allies are only temporary. I believe that without any external force, the relationship between Amegakure and Konoha will break down once there is a conflict of interest."

"However, for you, there is now an excellent opportunity to take over the Land of Grass."

"Once we end the war, Amegakure can launch a full-scale attack on the Land of Grass."

Hanzo asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Obsidian's eyes flashed: "It's simple. You don't need to directly wage war against Konoha. You just need to allow us to enter the Land of Fire from the Land of Grass!"

Now they can also invade the Land of Fire from the border of the Land of Grass.

However, this was only a small-scale infiltration.

But if the Land of Grass is used as a stepping stone, then things are completely different.

This inevitably involves Amegakure and Kusagakure.

What should I do?

Either completely defeat Amegakure.

Alternatively, let Amegakure defeat Kusagakure.

Ohnoki chose something simpler.

They secretly negotiated a peace agreement with Amegakure and formed an alliance, allowing the stronger Amegakure to become the ruler of the Land of Grass.

Looking at Hanzo deep in thought, Obsidian knew that Hanzo would have no moral constraints regarding betraying Konoha.

In that case—

Obsidian immediately added: "A friendly reminder to Lord Hanzo about something."

"We, the Hidden Stone Village, have withdrawn from the Land of Wind, ending our war with the Hidden Sand Village."

"In other words, Sunagakure is currently only fighting Kirigakure."

"Furthermore, Rasa, who has mastered Magnet Release in Sunagakure, is determined to become the Fourth Kazekage; his ambitions are considerable."

"The possibility of attacking the River Country is extremely high!"

Hanzo was secretly startled, then said, "It seems that Iwagakure is going to fight Konoha with all its might."

Obsidian nodded, deliberately making no attempt to hide his hatred, and said, "Konoha killed two of our Iwagakure's Jinchūriki, and we must avenge this loss."

"Therefore, Lord Hanzo need not worry that Konoha will immediately intervene after taking over the Land of Grass; they should not be able to spare many troops."

"But if Lord Hanzo doesn't make a decision soon, I'm afraid we'll have to face three enemies at the same time!"

Previously, it was purely a lure of profit, but this can be seen as a threat!

A cold glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, then said, "I need to see Iwagakure's sincerity!"

Sincerity?

Obsidian knew Hanzo was interested, and immediately laughed, "Lord Hanzo will see soon enough!"

Genma was unaware of the subtle actions of Iwagakure and Amegakure.

Because the standoff was too boring, he simply chatted with the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, in the air.

"Lord Tsuchikage, why must we start a war?"

"You see, if we hadn't started the war, the Jinchūriki wouldn't have died."

Xuanma sighed, his face full of reluctance.

Onoki Menpa twitched, really wanting to use Dust Release to disintegrate this brat.

Genma continued his incessant chatter: "The Tsuchikage must be older than our Third Hokage, right?"

"Sigh, having to go to the battlefield at such an advanced age, you Iwagakure people are so inhumane."

"Lord Tsuchikage, you have a son, don't you?"

"That's a bit disrespectful to parents!"

Onoki raised an eyebrow, then said sarcastically, "You're only 11 years old, aren't you?"

"Heh, your Hokage is really incompetent, sending a child to the battlefield."

"And your parents, they don't love you at all!"

Come on, let's hurt each other!

Genma nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, the Third Hokage was far too incompetent."

"This completely goes against the First Hokage's original intention in establishing the village!"

"But this is not my parents' fault. They were just ordinary ninjas and had no way to rebel against the entire organization and system."

"What does the Tsuchikage think of me becoming Hokage?"

Onoki looked at the kid in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's outrageous!

Is Konoha about to descend into internal strife?

This looks like a good thing.

But if this kid becomes Hokage, he'll probably be even more radical, right?

For a moment, Onoki was somewhat uncertain.

Genma changed the subject, asking, "Does Lord Tsuchikage enjoy war?"

Onoki scoffed, "No one likes war except for the madmen from Kumogakure and Kirigakure."

"You brat, you're more suited to the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud Villages, you're a born evil brat!"

Hmm, why does this dialogue sound so familiar?

Genma looked completely innocent: "Lord Tsuchikage has misunderstood me. I hate war the most."

"What I like most is studying ninjutsu, being with pretty girls, eating delicious food, and seeing beautiful scenery."

With his hands shrugged, Genma sighed, "Unfortunately, things haven't gone as planned. The Ninja World War is ongoing, and it seems like we won't have such a leisurely life anymore."

"Lord Tsuchikage, as a senior figure, is there any way you can help me?"

Onoki frowned, wondering what this brat was trying to say.

Seeing that Onoki remained silent, Genma suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, if we were to eliminate all the ninja villages except Konoha, wouldn't that end the war completely?"

Upon hearing this, Onoki was immediately horrified, then sneered, "Konoha may be powerful, but it can't do this."

"Even when Lord Hashirama was alive, he couldn't do it."

"Wood Release brat, although you are very strong, you are still far inferior to Lord Hashirama back in the day."

"Besides, your abilities come from Lord Hashirama; isn't this already your limit?"

Genma's expression stiffened, then he laughed awkwardly, "You saw through that. No wonder you're the Tsuchikage."

"However, my forte isn't Wood Release."

"I'm not the only one in Konoha!"

"Of course, I personally hate war very much."

Onoki sneered inwardly: Evil Wood Release brat!

Genma suggested, "Lord Tsuchikage, why doesn't Iwagakure join Konoha?"

"This way you can enjoy the riches of the Land of Fire, and we won't have to fight to the death."

Onoki didn't want to pay attention to this talkative and wicked brat.

Genma didn't seem to mind and continued, "Does Lord Tsuchikage have a daughter, no, a granddaughter?"

"Why don't we arrange a marriage?"

"You've married your granddaughter to me, brought Iwagakure to Konoha, and supported my becoming Hokage. Can you rest assured now?"

Onoki's face instantly darkened, and he roared, "I have no granddaughter!"

Xuanma immediately looked regretful: "That's such a pity!"

"Why don't you encourage your son to try harder?"

"Anyway, I'm still young, I can wait."

asshole!

Onoki couldn't hold back any longer and raised his hand to unleash Dust Release.

"Lord Tsuchikage, let's talk again another time!"

Xuanma immediately left.

Back on the ground, Genma had his clone keep an eye on Onoki while he continued his training.

As for what I just mentioned, it was just something I did to amuse the old man when I was bored.

Time passed day by day.

The war was raging on.

Hanzo quickly realized Iwagakure's sincerity.

That means temporarily withdrawing troops to the border of the Land of Earth.

Afterwards, Obsidian once again led his men to the Land of Rain to secretly discuss matters with Hanzo.

The border area between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass.

Danzo listened to his subordinate's report with a solemn expression.

The Iwa ninja have retreated, and it seems that Iwagakure is secretly negotiating with Hanzo.

Danzo, who loved to stir up trouble, sensed something was wrong the moment he heard this information.

It's definitely not as simple as just peace talks.

"It seems Hanzo is going to betray us!"

Danzo's gaze was chilling.

Aburame Ryoma exclaimed in surprise, "But we and the Iwa ninja are clearly in the lead right now, so why would Hanzo do this?"

Danzo said ominously, "Because the village won't allow Hanzo to occupy the Land of Grass."

"Hanzo cooperated with us for profit, and now he's cooperating with Iwagakure for profit as well."

"Yufeng Genma did indeed give Hanzo a very good suggestion; now is the best time for Hanzo."

"There is a high chance that the Iwagakure ninja can persuade Hanzo to betray us, because if Iwagakure withdraws its troops from the Land of Wind, Sunagakure is very likely to enter the Land of River."

Ryoma Aburame understood and asked, "Lord Danzo, what should we do?"

"How can we disrupt Hanzo's cooperation with Iwagakure?"

Danzo turned to look in the direction of Amegakure and snorted coldly, "This kind of cooperation cannot be broken."

"Send a small team back to the village immediately to report this to Hiruzen. We must be prepared for a secret collaboration between Amegakure and Iwagakure."

"Moreover, the cooperation between Iwagakure and Amegakure is definitely not just to relieve their own pressure; there must be other motives involved."

"We need to find out the truth about this!"

Aburame Ryoma nodded and immediately leaped away to make the arrangements.

That evening.

Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the intelligence Danzo had sent back in the Hokage's office and frowned, feeling a bit of a headache.

As expected, cooperating with an ambitious person like Hanzo means bearing the risk of an explosion at any moment.

The advantage was that it helped to reduce the burden on the Iwa ninja's forces in the early stages.

Currently, it can also block sand-like structures.

However, the price of cooperation between Iwagakure and Hanzo is—

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought.

If Amegakure is to be saved, then it will probably have to back down on the issue of the Land of Grass.

But such a scenario would have even greater consequences!
