Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

"How to deal with Amegakure and the Land of Rain is a decision that only the Third Hokage can make."

Hoshinobi Hideaki first emphasized political correctness, then said, "But no matter what, let's stop Iwagakure first."

"In addition, we also need to eliminate any disobedient Rain Ninjas within the Land of Rain."

"The Rain Village is also a fighting force, whether it's used to deal with the Iwagakure or the Sunagakure."

"Regardless of what the Third Hokage decides about Amegakure in the future, we must take this step to make Amegakure's power work for us."

Orochimaru immediately agreed: "This is indeed the most perfect solution, which can alleviate the pressure on the village."

"If Iwagakure enters the Land of Rain again, Kumogakure will probably be unable to resist."

Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded in unison, agreeing.

If Iwagakure were to re-enter the Land of Rain, it would mean starting a war with Konoha.

And as for the Land of Rivers, Konoha will definitely intervene heavily.

It's no wonder the Third Raikage couldn't tolerate fighting two major ninja villages at the same time.

"We'll go to the border with you to hold off the Iwa ninja!"

Tsunade looked at Hoshino Hidetoshi.

Hoshita Hide shook his head: "I'll go with Lord Mitomon Homura. You stay here and work with Kuro Amane and the others to pacify the Land of Rain as soon as possible and eliminate anyone who has any objections."

"I will leave a clone behind, carrying Hanzo's corpse and a portion of the Rain Ninja into the Land of Rivers to take over the Rain Ninja there."

"At the same time, we will join forces with the village's troops to fight against Sunagakure."

"We can't let the Rain Ninja of the Land of Rivers fall into chaos, giving the Sand Village an opportunity to take advantage."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but say, "You should become Hokage."

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "I'm from the Root."

Jiraiya was immediately a little embarrassed.

Hoshino doesn't care. Why be Hokage? Wouldn't it be better to be above Hokage?

……

"Lord Yan!"

Just as Mitokado Homura was catching his breath after finishing a battle, he heard shouts behind him.

Turning around, his gaze immediately sharpened: "Has something happened to Jiraiya and the others?"

In such a short time, he hadn't even considered that he had already won.

As he was thinking this, the messenger arrived before him: "Lord Yan, Hanzo has been... killed by Lord Kagami of Root."

"Wh...what? Hanzo is dead?"

Mitokado almost bit off his own tongue.

The Konoha ninjas who were cleaning up the battlefield or resting and healing all turned to look.

The informant nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Yes, Hanzo is dead, and his elite troops have surrendered. They are also willing to recruit other Rain Ninja and are now operating in several small teams."

"Lord Jia requests that you lead your team to meet up immediately."

The Konoha ninja were also in an uproar.

Hanzo is really dead!

Mitokado Homura took a deep breath and immediately ordered a change of objective, to meet up with Hoshino Hide and the others.

After half an hour.

When Mitokado Homura saw Hanzo's corpse, his gaze towards Hoshishita Shuu changed involuntarily.

"A, you're right. Amegakure has lost its leader and has little power to resist Iwagakure."

Mitokado Homura was no fool, and decisively said, "If we don't take action, the Land of Rain will be captured by Iwagakure."

"I will accompany you to the border to guard against Iwagakure."

"Also, was the information about Hanzo's death sent to Danzo and Hiruzen?"

Hoshino nodded: "I have already had someone pass the information to Lord Danzo and the Third Hokage."

Mitokado Homura nodded: "In that case, let's set off!"

After saying that, he turned to Tsunade and the other two and said, "I'm leaving the Land of Rain to the three of you until Danzo returns."

Tsunade and the other two nodded in unison: "Understood!"

Subsequently, they split into two groups.

Hoshino Hide, along with the surrendered Rain Ninja and Mitomon Homura's direct troops of over forty men, headed to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth.

at the same time.

As the Rain Village ninja, including Kurogane, began recruiting others, news of Hanzo's death spread rapidly, easily reaching the intelligence personnel of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure.

Within the Land of Grass.

Danzo's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing Aburame Ryoma's report.

Hoshino Shu did not disappoint him; Hanzo was indeed dead.

Therefore, as long as Konoha can withstand the attack of the three great ninja villages, it will be able to take over the Land of Rain.

"Return to the Land of Rain!"

Danzo gave the order.

He needs to go back and take over the Rain Kingdom as quickly as possible.

As for the Land of Grass, Hanzo is dead, so it's not that important anymore.

If Iwagakure were to attack from the Land of Grass afterward, then not only could the Grass Village buy time, but Konoha could also attack from the Land of Rain, cutting off Iwagakure's retreat.

The first thing Danzo did upon returning to the Land of Rain was to establish Amegakure as his base and begin directing operations from the center.

So the next day, Tsunade and the others began to launch attacks in all directions, sweeping away the few remaining Rain Ninja who refused to surrender.

As for the intelligence agents from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure, they were all wiped out without any hesitation.

Their goal is to wipe out the Rain Kingdom as much as possible, making its territory a safe place and a stable rear area.

The latest novel is first published here!

On the same day.

Hoshino Shu's clone, carrying Hanzo's corpse, along with the Black Rain Squad, headed south into the Land of Rivers.

On the other side, Hiruzen Sarutobi received intelligence from the Land of Rain on the very night Hanzo died, and made a decisive decision to mobilize a large number of troops to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

Day three.

Hoshino Hide's clone and Kuro Amane took over the Rain Ninja Force of the Land of Rivers.

Upon receiving the news, Koharu Utatane, the commander of the Fire Country, immediately led her troops into the River Country to join forces with Hideaki Hoshino's wooden clone at the border of the Fire Country.

This day became the turning point of the Second Shinobi World War.

……

Hidden Stone Village, Tsuchikage Building, Conference Room.

At this moment, the high-ranking members of Iwagakure gathered together, creating a noisy scene.

News of Hanzo's death reached Iwagakure yesterday.

However, because the intelligence was so shocking, it took some time to verify it.

The intelligence was clearly correct, as a combined force of Konoha and Amegakure had appeared at the border.

Furthermore, Konoha ninjas roam freely within the Land of Rain, wiping out ninjas from other villages and Rain ninjas who refuse to surrender.

This stance clearly indicates an intention to seize the Land of Rain for themselves.

At this moment, the Iwagakure leadership was arguing not about whether or not to send troops, but about whether Onoki, the Tsuchikage, should personally lead the attack.

Some people oppose it, while others agree.

Those who oppose it are afraid that the previous situation will repeat itself, with their homes being raided.

Those who agree argue that, apart from the Tsuchikage Onoki, no one else in Iwagakure can defeat the Wood Release user of Konoha.

"That's enough!"

Ohnoki suddenly shouted.

The meeting room immediately fell silent.

Onoki stood up: "I have decided to personally lead the troops into battle."

"We will absolutely not allow Konoha to occupy the Land of Rain."

……

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage looked at Tsuchikage and said, "Once the Iwa ninja start a war with Konoha in the Land of Rain, you will immediately lead a large army south to threaten Konoha."

"The plan targeting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can now begin."

"I will personally go to the front lines at that time."

Tu Tai nodded solemnly: "Understood!"

Once the Third Raikage appears on the front lines, the immense pressure will make even the Third Hokage restless.

With the three major ninja villages besieging Konoha, Konoha will undoubtedly deploy all its elite forces.

That was when Konoha, the main base, was at its most vulnerable.

The protective measures taken by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be reduced to a minimum.

Taking down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was not only revenge for the death of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but also a strategic necessity.

Konoha is too strong, it must be weakened!

Although the Land of Rain is far from their Hidden Cloud Village, they cannot allow Konoha to succeed and thus become even stronger.

Thinking of Tsuchikage, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's a pity that Kirigakure refused to intervene, otherwise..."
