Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

"Is this something Hanzo would say? If only I had believed him ten years ago."

Ōnoki slammed the announcement that Hanzo had made in the Hidden Rain Village on the table, and after thinking for a moment with his eyes wide open, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"You mean Hanzo was coerced?"

An Iwagakure elder understood what he meant, but Ōnoki did not respond.

"The Anbu sent back news that Kato Makoto visited the Rain Country some time ago. It was also at that time that Hanzo led his team to defeat the border troops of Iwagakure."

A masked Iwashi ninja behind Ōnoki told the summarized information.

After hearing the explanation from the Anbu chief, several elders looked at each other and then understood.

Hanzo had turned a blind eye to the harassment of Iwagakure before. As long as it was not too excessive, the demigod would not personally intervene.

Now he is taking direct action against the son of the Third Tsuchikage, which is completely different from his past behavioral logic.

In the absence of any major changes within the Land of Rain, the only explanation is that external forces intervened, forcing Hanzo to do so.

There is no one else in the ninja world who can do this except Konoha.

In addition, the information that Kato Makoto personally visited the Rain Country can also confirm it.

It seems that in order to maintain his position of power in the Rain Country, Hanzo really surrendered to Konoha.

"Damn it! If he can't hold on, he can ask Iwagakure for help. The Rain Country connects the River Country and the Grass Country, and the Fire Country has built a defense line outside the country in the southwest half, which puts us in a passive position."

The elder who asked the question slammed his fist on the conference table, his face turning red.

The other elders agreed with his point of view that Hanzo was really disappointing.

But think about it, Iwagakure was invading the Rain Country at that time, and it was impossible for Hanzo to ask for help from the hostile Iwagakure while fighting.

Isn't that a typical masochistic tendency?

Compared to the gloomy mood in Iwagakure, the Sand Village in the south did not react much.

Luo Sha just glanced at the information sent back by the Anbu, threw it aside, and turned to look at the domestic information.

Several local lords launched rebellion again. This time, the daimyo specifically asked Ye Cang to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion.

Due to the defeat in the three wars, the Kingdom of Wind paid a large sum of money as compensation.

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind stated that the Daimyo Prefecture had no spare money and could only increase domestic taxes to cope with the situation, which led to continuous wars.

At the beginning, Luo Sha sent a team of mid-level and low-level ninjas to deal with the situation. He thought that these local forces had no ninjas and could be easily dealt with.

Unexpectedly, after Yagura came to power, many Blood Mist Ninjas who were afraid of being liquidated hid in the Wind Country and colluded with these local forces.

The first batch of ninjas from the Luosha faction were beaten to a pulp, and the rebels once approached the capital of the Wind Kingdom within a hundred miles.

Fortunately, Ye Cang, the leader of the pro-war faction in Sand Village, was visiting the capital and took timely action to plant a mushroom in the desert, thus preventing the fall of the capital.

Afterwards, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind praised Ye Cang's strength highly. Upon hearing that Ye Cang had fought in many battles and defeated Iwagakure and Kirigakure several times, he called him a hero of the Land of Wind.

In contrast to Yekura's treatment, Rasa was reprimanded by the daimyo.

If you can't win either foreign or civil wars, what's the point of having you? It's better to give the war funds to the Sand Ninjas who can win wars.

From then on, the funds allocated by the daimyo prefecture to Sunagakure were divided into two parts.

With money in hand, Ye Cang's power expanded further.

Considering the power he took over from Ebizo and Chiyo, he is not much worse than Rasa, the Kazekage.

If it weren't for Rasa's ability to alleviate Sunagakure's financial problems, someone would have jumped out and forced him to abdicate.

With a tiger next to his bed, Luo Sha has no time to care about whether Konoha will expand or not.

Konoha Hokage's Office.

Minato read the latest document sent back by Kato Makoto again and again before putting it down with satisfaction. He turned to look at a map of the ninja world hanging on the wall of the office. The three countries named River, Rain, and Grass were connected together like a barrier, protecting the Fire Country behind them.

"The southwest half is complete, only the north is left."

Unlike the southern part of the Fire Nation, where there are few countries and a poor population, the northern part of the Fire Nation is much richer and has a more dangerous geographical environment.

The waterfalls of Taki Country and the extremely cold weather of Iron Country make these countries easy to defend and difficult to attack. Hot Spring Country is peaceful and tranquil, and will not be easily involved in the disputes in the ninja world.

Moreover, the fact that the Land of Lightning has been silent and licking its wounds during this period does not mean that they have no objection to Konoha's expansion.

Just thinking about these problems gives me a headache. Forget it, let’s just deal with the things at hand first.

After reading Kato Makoto's documents again, Namikaze Minato returned home when it was almost dark.

"I am back."

He shouted at the door, but his wife did not come rushing over.

Minato Namikaze walked into the living room with doubts, and heard a noise in the kitchen. He walked in and found Kuyuki Na was preparing food.

"Didn't I tell you not to do these things and just bring me a lunch box from outside?"

As soon as he put his arm around Kushina's waist, he realized something was wrong. The usually lively and fiery red pepper didn't even argue with him.

"I want to make something for Grandma Taohua. She is... seriously ill..."

The choked sound reached Minato's ears, causing his arms around Kushina to tremble.

Even though he was in his seventies or eighties and was a ninja from the Warring States Period, he must have accumulated a lot of injuries.

This time, the bloodline of the Senju clan may not be able to be suppressed and it will burst out.

"Tsunade-senpai is here, everything will be fine."

In the Senju Mansion, Tsunade placed her hands on Senju Momoka's chest, and a green light unique to medical ninjutsu was shining.

After a moment, the blonde princess withdrew her hand, her eyes trembling as she tried to suppress the grief in her heart.

"I am already satisfied that I have lived to this age."

"Grandma Taohua, you will be fine."

For some reason, Tsunade felt like she was having trouble breathing and her eyes were blurry uncontrollably.

She knew that the big tree that had protected her from wind and rain since she was a child was about to dry up and fall down. When she looked up, she would no longer be able to see the green shade it once had.

"Don't cry. I know my body well. I won't die anytime soon."

The skinny arm gently stroked Tsunade's cheek, helping her wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama both died in their prime. God is jealous of their talents. Lord Mito was deeply tortured by the Nine-Tails. He couldn't sleep for several nights. Compared with them, I am lucky to be able to live to this day without any disaster or illness."

Senju Momoka slowly sat up and put her hand on Tsunade's back, just like she did when she was a child.

"The Senju clan fell apart, and Nawaki died a violent death. I will explain these things to the three adults, but I am worried about you and Kushina.

The Fourth is a man of both strength and gentleness, and has deep feelings for Kushina. He is someone you can trust. I am relieved about Kushina, but I am always worried about you."

Tsunade's eyes flushed, "I can take care of myself."

“Grandma believes you have the ability, but she wants you to have a complete life.

Kato Dan is not strong enough and cannot be with you to the end. Jiraiya is distracted by other things and it is hard to say that you are a good match. Orochimaru is precocious and has deviated from the right path.

Grandma has finally chosen one for you, so please don’t push it away, okay?”

As the boss behind Konoha, it is not easy for Momoka Senju to investigate the intelligence of a Konoha ninja.

The endurance of humiliation during the Anbu period, the accumulation of strength during the Third War, and the subtle edge of suppressing the ninja world after the Third War.

This person knows when to advance and when to retreat, understands people's hearts, and can take advantage of situations. His strength and talent are no less than Golden Flash.

Apart from his increasingly obvious fickleness, he is now impossible to find even with a lantern.

"But he is the brother of Duan."

Tsunade didn't know what to say. Every time she saw that face, she couldn't help but think of Dan.

When she realized that Kato Makoto had ill intentions, every time she stood with him, it was as if Duan was standing right beside her and watching. She really couldn't stand the torment in her heart.

"We are not brothers. Besides, the curse mark on your forehead should be related to that boy, right?"

Senju Momoka is best at illusion, and has extensive knowledge of both Yin-Yang and other types of escape techniques.

The fluctuations on the curse seal could not escape her spiritual perception, and when Kato Makoto approached Tsunade, the fluctuations would become active. Coupled with Tsunade's abnormal behavior after the war, she could not help but guess what was going on.

Tsunade lowered her head, pursed her lips, and did not answer.

"Little Tsunade, leave this matter to grandma. The people of the Senju family are not so easy to bully."
