Putting aside the fact that Onimara-san had become a commander without any soldiers and was struggling to drag his dying body to realize his ambitions, the other side of the battlefield was also in full swing.
Zi Lai also casually brushed a mimosa beside him. Under his rough and powerful caress, the mimosa's sternum-like leaves immediately contracted into a ball. He withdrew his hand wordlessly and rubbed the remnants of the dew on his fingertips. He felt uneasy. Of course, this uneasiness did not only come from the Ninja Demigod who was stationed at the front line of Rinja Village, but also from the little ghost who had disappeared for a few days and whom they regarded as their younger brother.
A few days of searching could only deepen the suspicion of Shinobu, but it could only be said to be futile.
Naturally, he had also thought of capturing the tongue of Shinobu to investigate some internal situations, such as the movement of the troops or... about the man named Shibuya Hidesaburo. But…unexpectedly, the captured Rinoshi either committed suicide by consuming poison or died from various reasons. According to Okami:
" There seems to be some kind of restriction placed in the minds of these Rain Enforcers. Once they try to reveal some key information, the restriction will cause their minds to collapse, and then..."
"And then…?"
"Then, it exploded like a watermelon.”
“······”
Although he had never heard of Shanjiao Fish Hanzo knowing the art of restriction, facts spoke louder than words. It was useless to emphasize the information that was out of date at this time. Could it be that…he would capture and kill all the guys from Muye's intelligence team?
Changes were always better than plans.
Moreover, only a small number of people died due to abnormal circumstances. Most of them committed suicide when they saw that there was no hope of escaping. It was clear how loyal Shinobu was to the village.
However, from another perspective, Shanjiao Fish Hanzo, who was able to nurture such a loyal dog, had a huge plot and firm determination. And the power of such an ambitious person was definitely not what he had shown a few days ago. If his strength was so strong on the surface, then what was he hiding?
Although the disappearance of Bright Night and New Moon was not a good thing, it had undoubtedly given Sanin a wake-up call. The old Hanzo who should have retired long ago was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
The stalemate for the next few days was only a temporary measure. In fact, both Shinobu and Muye wanted to stall for time. This delay was, of course, to further investigate the news about the new moon of the Radiant Night. There was a deeper meaning, such as the disappearance of the new moon of the Radiant Night, making it impossible for the Sanin to use its full strength. As for Rain Shinobu…
Before this, it was important to note that although Hanzo's ambition was a factor in the Second War of Ninja Realm, the root cause was the uneven distribution of resources among the countries. It was not correct to simply attribute the mastermind behind World War II to Hanzo.
The battle between Kinoba and Shinobu was partly due to Shinobu's strategic position in World War II. On the other hand, it was also known that there were some unclear secret deals between Shinobu's Hanzo and Sanin's second generation Fuukage. Now, Sanin was using the power of a Guardian Crane to openly declare war on Koba. At the same time, Hanzo's little tricks were also increasing, and the number of local conflicts was also increasing. This kind of thing naturally could not be called a coincidence.
Although Kiha's intelligence team was unable to obtain detailed information about secret figures like Shibuya Heizaburo, they were able to find out about the shady dealings in the Ninja Village.
Rain and Sand Alliance.
Was this considered bad news?
Probably not.
Killing an enemy in the bud was not a crisis that required a large number of troops. Hanzo was strong, but how strong was Shinobu, the new Shinobu Village?
Assassination team? With Orochi Ji's outburst, other than the leader of Crippled Onimaru who had run off to who knew where, the reputation of the assassination team of Shinobu should have disappeared.
Speaking of which, other than Shibuya and Hanzo, there were no other powerful figures that Rain Shinobu could produce. It was no wonder that Mu Ye did not pay much attention to it, sending out a few rookies to suppress the veteran Hanzo, even though the strength of these three rookies was a little too strong. However, since the third generation Naruto did not make a move, then this matter was also very likely to happen according to the original plan.
But…
The original script did not include Shibuya Heizaburo, nor did it include Bright Night and New Moon.
Originally, the Three-in only needed to take a little risk, walk around the battlefield, gild himself, and gain the name of Three-in.
Originally, Hanzo would have temporarily retreated due to his lack of combat strength, and both sides would have a way out of the war.
But now, everything was different.
Bright Night New Moon······
With the addition of two weirdos, how could history follow its original trajectory?
Back to the main topic, since Harunin wasn't the main battlefield of World War II, then the lack of troops could be explained, right? The second-generation Wind Shadow wasn't like I Love Luo's Little Panda. How could he make a loss? Yuren, you have no money, no background, and only one or two high-end fighters. Why should I form an alliance with you? I've endured the pressure and allowed you to take advantage of the chaotic times to make a fortune just to establish a Ninja Village that might become an enemy?
There might be a few idiots among those who could become shadows, but they definitely wouldn't be the second generation Windshade. An alliance? Yes! Recently, we don't have enough mid-level and low-level ninjas. The new batch of Genin hasn't graduated from the ninja school yet, so... you know.
What he meant was that our Sand Ninja was afraid of losing too much, so we urgently needed Rain Ninja to provide a batch of cannon fodder. What else could Hanzo do other than temporarily compromise?
Thus, he scattered most of his forces on the path that Kiba had to take to get to Sanin. He did not seek to kill enemies, but only to obstruct them, so that Sanin could prepare for the upcoming battle of Kiba Sanin.
By the way, although World War II had already begun, it had not yet erupted. At the very least, the main characters, Fog and Sand, had yet to step onto the stage.
Think about it, what would Shinobu, who was originally just stalling for time, do after having the hostage, Bright Night and New Moon? How could the crafty Hanzo let go of this opportunity to gain benefits? If he were to reverse this inevitable defeat in front of Shinobu's door and defeat Mu Ye, who was praised as the number one Shinobu village on the surface, how much would Shinobu gain?
That must be a huge leap
Therefore, Hanzo didn't need Sanin's permission. He quickly gathered his troops in the next few days to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Ninja equipment, rations, and a battlefield…
Other than the reinforcements that were about to arrive, these things had been done to the best of their abilities today, under Shibuya's plan.
Hanzo trusted this man without a doubt. Even if some grudges would erupt one day due to some matters in the past, it would not affect Hanzo's trust in him.
This man is innocent
Can't be easily fooled
insisted on his own opinion
Take stubbornness as a good teacher and friend
however
But they would always be comrades.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The soothed feeling was probably referring to his half-hidden emotions at this moment.
He stood quietly on top of the mountain pepper fish's forehead, facing the rising sun as usual. His face began to be filled with another kind of high-spirited spirit.
His complacency was natural. No mortal, sage, or god had ever forbidden others from being complacent about an inevitable victory. At least, in the eyes of most people, this battle that was held today and ended today was very much in suspense.
When Zi Lai Ye and the others stood 100 meters in front of the tall Mountain Pepper Fish with their heads and bodies covered in dew, what they saw was fanaticism.
We will definitely win!
Long live Lord Hanzo!
Long live Yuren Village!
A simple gaze could often reflect the most complicated emotions. The fiery passion under the silent expression of the ninja from Rain Ninja Village forced Zirai to recall the words of the unlikeable old man in Kiba Village. The deep and slow breathing on the battlefield made him admit Hanzo's wisdom for the first time.
" Muye, thank you for letting me win…"
Hanzo's voice, which was hidden under the breathing device, was extremely strange, but his words were even more so.
Accept? How could he accept it? The self-deprecating declaration of a victor?
Arrogance was laughable, but what was it that made an old fox who had dominated the Ninja Realm for so many years ecstatic?
It was impossible for Shinobu's reinforcements to arrive before the battle started. With their current strength, even if Shanjiao Hanzo fought to the death, how long could they last? A conservative estimate was that Mu Ye's ninja army could kill and cripple the enemy within two hours.
Then, what about Hanzo's reliance? What was the reason for his arrogance?
Orochi Ji silently looked up at the gray-haired middle-aged man who was dozens of meters above the ground, and a strange ominous feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
And this was ominous…
In the next second!
Shanjiao Fish Hanzo smiled. The crow's feet at the corner of his eyes showed his age, his shrewdness, and his decisiveness.
" Bright Night and New Moon sent me to greet you."
！！！！
The three pairs of eyes on the field instantly constricted!
