The demon monk in the second dimension

He released his grip, and Yahiko and Konan saw a pair of eyes appear in Nagato's eye sockets, but they were not Rinnegan.

"Nagato!"

"how are you feeling?"

Nagato blinked, feeling quite relaxed.

It was much easier than when I still had the Rinnegan.

Previously, the Rinnegan consumed his chakra every moment.

This problem no longer exists now that I have a new pair of eyes.

Nagato was somewhat convinced that the Rinnegan was indeed no longer his own.

"Having healed Nagato's eyes," Xia Zhi said to them.

"Hanzo the Salamander and the Leaf Village's Roots have set a trap ahead to kill the three of you. You'd better not go."

Yahiko immediately retorted.

"Impossible! Lord Hanzo is the guardian deity of the Land of Rain, he couldn't possibly do such a thing!"

Xiao Nan's gaze towards Xia Zhi also became extremely wary.

"Are you trying to assassinate Lord Hanzo?!"

They still don't believe that Xia Zhi is Uchiha Madara.

"Ridiculous! If I wanted to kill Hanzo, would I need to resort to assassination? If I had any intention to kill you, you would all be dead by now!"

Xia Zhi sneered and began to deceive the three young people.

"After my battle with Hashirama, I was disheartened and went into hiding. But for the past few decades, I have been keeping an eye on the ninja world."

"From the First Shinobi World War to the Second Shinobi World War, and then to the Third Shinobi World War! In just thirty years, three battles have occurred that have affected the entire shinobi world!"

"Therefore I realized that peace cannot be achieved by the five major powers alone! Even if the world has gained intermittent and brief peace amidst continuous wars, this meager peace will eventually collapse due to the imbalance and dissatisfaction of all parties, and will once again be covered by the flames of war!"

Upon hearing "Uchiha Madara" speak of peace, the three members of the Akatsuki immediately woke up.

The Akatsuki organization was founded for the sake of peace. Even if the powerful figure before them wasn't Madara Uchiha, his "peace theory" still sounds quite noteworthy.

Xia Zhi continued.

"Why does the ninja world launch a ninja war every ten years or so? Because it takes about that long for an ordinary child to grow from birth into a qualified cannon fodder genin."

"Once the number of ninjas reaches a certain level, the ambitions of the ninja villages will grow, and the Ninja World War will break out!"

After hearing Xia Zhi's story, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were all deeply shocked.

They simply longed for peace, but they never examined the Ninja World War from such a high perspective or understood why it happened.

"Because of Hashirama's Wood Release, the Land of Fire possesses the most fertile land in the entire ninja world. However, other countries only greedily envy and are jealous of the Land of Fire's land, wanting to seize it, but they never thought of using ninjutsu for civilian purposes rather than military ones like Hashirama did!"

Xia Zhi put on a heartbroken expression.

"The Land of Thunder is covered with high mountains, the Land of Water is submerged in oceans, the Land of Earth is barren, and the Land of Wind is almost entirely desert. Apart from the Land of Wind, which faces the most difficult situation, can't the other three countries gradually transform their homes?"

"Using Lightning Release to split mountains, Earth Release to fill seas, and Water Release to irrigate the earth... these are all things that can be done."

"But many people think that this is too slow! It's better to kill or rob! It is this robber-like mentality that leads to war!"

Chapter 351 Sansho Fish Hanzo

"To achieve peace in the ninja world, we must first unify the ninja world! Then, we must use the power of the ninjas for the benefit of the people, not for military purposes!"

Xia Zhi's words were like a wake-up call to the three of them, offering a completely new perspective on war and peace.

“I don’t deny that some people have managed to use ninjutsu on ordinary people. But in the chaotic ninja world, where you kill me and I kill you, there is simply no stable environment for them to use it. To survive, they have no choice but to pick up kunai and fight with other ninjas. Just like you.”

Xia Zhi pointed to the three little ones.

"You are all war orphans, children from ordinary families. If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet Jiraiya, you might already be dead somewhere. When war breaks out, the entire ninja world is forced to become cruel!"

"Therefore, unifying the ninja world is imperative! Only by ending the temporary war and achieving a brief peace with overwhelming power can we then find a way to maintain this peace in the long term!"

Xia Zhi reached out her hand to the three little ones who were already dizzy and disoriented from the shock.

"For the world to achieve lasting peace, we need not only the strength of an old man like me, like the setting sun, but also the strength of young people like you, like the rising sun!"

“I have been observing you three ever since you began your wanderings. I believe that you have suffered greatly from the ravages of war and should understand the preciousness of peace better than most people. I do not wish for three seeds of peace to fall into the hands of Hanzo the Salamander.”

"If you don't believe me, then continue meeting with him. I will be watching you from the shadows and will show you the true face of Hanzo the Salamander!"

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan exchanged glances, and finally Yahiko respectfully addressed Xia Zhi.

"Then please leave it to senior."

They were also wondering about it.

Could the other person really be Madara Uchiha?

Does someone like him, who is on par with the "God of Shinobi," believe that we can work together with him to achieve peace in the shinobi world?

If what he said is true, then has Lord Hanzo, the "demigod of the ninja world" and "guardian of the Land of Rain," transformed from a dragon-slaying hero into an evil dragon?

Their thoughts were constantly changing, but they still headed towards the place they had agreed upon with Hanzo, according to the original plan.

……

Beside a secluded valley in the Land of Rain, Hanzo and the members of Root await the arrival of the Akatsuki.

Hanzo originally had no opinion about the Akatsuki organization, but under Danzo's instigation, he began to believe that they would hinder his rule over the Land of Rain, and thus developed murderous intent.

Danzo did this because he coveted Nagato's Rinnegan.

He was very curious about the legendary Eye of the Immortal and planned to take it over for research.

Because he had a salamander venom sac implanted in his body, even his breathing carried toxins, so he had to wear a respirator to avoid harming others, but Hanzo didn't care.

He didn't believe in the power of any immortal eye; he only trusted his sickle and the salamander!

Before long, a Rain Ninja leaped to Hanzo of the Salamander and knelt respectfully on one knee before him.

"Lord Hanzo, the Akatsuki are here!"

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan approached Hanzo and bowed their heads to him.

"Lord Hanzo!"

Hanzo the Salamander looked at the three of them with a slightly strange expression.

Wasn't this red-haired boy supposed to have supernatural eyes? How come they just look like ordinary eyes?

But it doesn't matter, as long as they're here!

Hanzo waved his right hand.

"Do it!"

Immediately, several Rain Ninja and Root members in uniform jumped out and unleashed ninjutsu at the three.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"A Thousand Rains!"

"Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave!"

Nagato and Konan, who were already on guard, immediately formed hand seals.

"Earth Release-Earth Flow Wall!"

"Paper Escape - Vertical Wall!"

A mud wall quickly rose from the ground, while Xiao Nan also made a hard defense out of paper to block the opponent's attack.

All three felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and a very unpleasant feeling settled over them.

"I never expected Lord Hanzo to actually want to kill us!"

"And these people, are they from the Dark Guard?"

The Land of Rain has no Dark Guard. Therefore, the conclusion is clear—Hanzo the Salamander is colluding with a powerful nation to take the lives of these three!

"why?"

Yahiko looked at Hanzo the Salamander with a very puzzled expression.

That was the collapse of faith.

"Why do you want to kill us?"

"The Rain Village is the Rain Village of the demigods of the ninja world, and we will absolutely not allow anyone else to lay a finger on it! Not even other Rain Villages!"

Hanzo coldly addressed the three of them.

"Kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhi emerged from underground.

"A demigod of the ninja world? Hanzo the Salamander, who gave you the courage!"

He held a root, also hidden underground, in his hand, and threw it to the ground with a thud.

"Konoha has truly fallen. With Hashirama and me gone, they've actually stooped to joining forces with a mere Amegakure!"

The neck at the base of the neck was unnaturally twisted, and the chest was not rising or falling, indicating that the person was clearly dead.

Looking at Xia Zhi, who was wearing a long robe and carrying a long-handled sickle and a huge fan on his back, Hanzang frowned and asked him.

"and who are you?"

Xia Zhi didn't answer him at all and directly used a no-seal ninjutsu.

"You mere junior, what makes you dare to call yourself a demigod of the ninja world? Let me show you the power of a true god of the ninja world! Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

In an instant, a large number of trees sprang up from the ground!

They grew rapidly into towering trees, and as if they had their own consciousness, countless branches coiled around everyone like snakes and pythons!

"Wood Release?!"

Hanzo was terrified and drew his sickle to forcefully cut off the branch that was attacking him.

he exclaimed.

"How do you know Wood Release? Are you a member of the Senju clan?"

He had never heard of anyone awakening the same bloodline limit as the God of Shinobi!

Others were not so lucky.

Summer Solstice showed no mercy. These trees not only possessed immense strength, but were also as hard as steel!

The entire valley was shrouded in lush forest. Countless trees surged towards the roots and the Rain Ninja from all directions, leaving them no way to escape. They could only be crushed and strangled bit by bit.

Not to mention Hanzo the Salamander, even Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were dumbfounded.

Wasn't it supposed to be Uchiha Madara?

What's with this Wood Release technique?!

Surrounded by layers upon layers of trees, Hanzo could not hold out for long.

"Psychic art!"

He quickly formed hand seals and summoned his summoning beast, the salamander, hoping to use its size to escape.

The moment the enormous salamander, several meters long, appeared, Hanzo formed hand seals again and launched an attack in coordination with the salamander beneath his feet.

"Poisonous mist spray."

The salamander opened its huge mouth and spewed out a large amount of purple poison gas into the forest!

Even Hanzo, who had a salamander venom sac implanted in his body, couldn't withstand this potent poison and needed to take an antidote.

However, with the support of Chatonla within Xia Zhi's body, these enormous trees were completely unaffected by the poisonous fog.

The massive trees shook their leaves, quickly absorbing the toxic fumes.

Within the range of the Tree World's Descent, the Salamander's enormous size is not a good thing.
