From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

The ninja kneeling before Hanzo looked up at him hesitantly. Hanzo asked directly, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Lord Hanzo, I..." The ninja hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "No, I don't." "Go down and rest." Hanzo the Salamander waved his hand and had no intention of pursuing the matter.

In fact, the ninja wanted to ask, since the war is over, why don’t we help the people of the Rain Country to rebuild their homes?

But in the end, he was intimidated by the power of Hanzo, the Salamander, and did not dare to speak.

And Hanzo of the Salamander seemed to understand what he wanted to ask, but didn't seem to care.

This former demigod of the ninja world now only cares about his own power.

The Akatsuki organization undoubtedly challenged his authority once again.

"Yura, what do you think we should do?" Hanzo suddenly asked.

A ninja standing behind him said, "Master Hanzo, there is no doubt that the Rain Country does not need two voices."

"But..." Hanzo hesitated for a moment, then said, "But they are from the Land of Rain after all, and they really haven't done anything wrong..."

Not only did Hanzo become selfish, he also became less decisive.

Maybe he said it nicely, as if expressing his reluctance, but Yura knew very well in his heart that Lord Hanzo was considering whether launching a war or other means against Akatsuki would cause the Hidden Rain Village to lose too much power and reduce the proportion of power in his hands?

Maybe she doesn't quite approve of the current Hanzo of Salamander in her heart, but there is no doubt that Yura is very loyal to Hanzo of Salamander.

So after a brief silence, he said directly: "Master Hanzo, the division will cause the Rain Country to fall into a more difficult situation. I believe that compared to this, sacrifice is necessary."

Split, this will undoubtedly divide his own power. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Hanzo's eyes.

And Yura is really good at talking. She directly found reasons for Hanzo of the Salamander. The Rain Country cannot be divided into two power centers because of this. It will cause too much damage to the Rain Country.

Look, I, Hanzo, am not doing this for anything else, but for the unification of the Rain Country.

"You're right." Hanzo nodded, but soon hesitated and said, "The Akatsuki organization may be a little naive, but it's not really weak after all. If they start a war... this is not the result I want."

"Hanzo-sama is right," Yura responded, then added, "Although Akatsuki may appear powerful, its weaknesses are also very obvious. Such a naive organization could never have been held together in its current state."

Hanzo nodded and said, "You're right. The emergence of such an organization is indeed very puzzling..."

The emergence of an innocent organization that believes it can achieve world peace through communication is inexplicable.

It's just like the environmentalist girl on Earth. She is obviously a moron, but she still causes a lot of trouble.

It's incredible.

But behind that brainless environmentalist girl, there is obviously a dirty political show.

As for the Akatsuki organization, it is more focused on Yahiko's personal charm.

Just as Yura said, this organization was originally impossible to appear, and it was even more impossible to be united, but they do exist. The smart Yura also discovered their weakness, which is that everything in the Akatsuki organization depends on Yahiko.

At most, it depends on the trio.

Once these three are killed, the Akatsuki organization will immediately collapse.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After Yahiko died, Nagato took over the Akatsuki organization. The entire organization quickly turned evil in the Rain Country and implemented a "reign of terror" in the Rain Country.

If everyone in Akatsuki was like Yahiko, with extremely firm "optimistic" ideas, how could they all turn evil in the blink of an eye?

From this we can also see that the current ideas of the Akatsuki organization actually all come from Yahiko alone.

The spirit of the entire organization also depends on Yahiko alone.

After that, Nagato inherited Yahiko's "legacy", had a strong influence on the Akatsuki organization, and demonstrated strong enough strength. Then, he quickly turned evil with these unsteady people.

"In my opinion, as long as we eliminate the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, this organization will soon collapse on its own. With your reputation, Lord Hanzo, you can take over their power after they collapse and further enhance your own power." Yura said again.

Hanzo nodded and said softly, "You're right. So your plan is to kill all three of them? Is there a chance of that happening?"

"Not yet, but opportunities can be created. The leader of the Akatsuki organization is obviously a naive guy. If Lord Hanzo is willing to invite them to meet under the pretext of 'peaceful negotiations' and express the idea of ​​'using their power to communicate with major powers', then the opportunity will come." Yura said, "You mean, you want me to meet with them under this excuse, and then get rid of them when they are unprepared?" Hanzo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's right." Yura nodded.

Salamander Hanzo touched his chin and seemed to be very tempted by the plan. However, after a long time, he said, "But using such dishonorable methods and means will harm my reputation..." Yura smiled again and said, "Lord Hanzo can choose a partner, and finally, let this partner bear the blame. We can also be victims, right?" Salamander Hanzo smiled and said, "That's a great idea. Then, who do you think will be willing to help us bear this dishonorable crime?" "I believe Lord Hanzo already has the answer in his heart." Yura also smiled and said.

"Yes, Danzo Shimura... a vicious dog of Konoha that doesn't bark but bites." Hanzo Salamander murmured softly.

A long time ago, Shimura Danzo had been flirting with him, but at that time, the two of them did not trust each other, and there was no real basis for cooperation... But now, there is.

A relatively sinister plan has already taken shape in the mind of Hanzo the Salamander.

He teamed up with Danzo Shimura to kill the three members of Akatsuki, and then announced to the outside world that it was Konoha that attacked the place where they were meeting in order to destroy this alliance.

The leader of Akatsuki unfortunately died, and the blame all lies with Konoha. Using this statement, he can not only clear himself of the crime, but also take the opportunity to take over Akatsuki in one go under the banner of "revenge".

Of course, after the annexation, it is naturally impossible to really take revenge. He can use other methods to fool people, or even exchange interests with Danzo. In this way, no one can threaten him, Hanzo the Salamander, in the Rain Country.

Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander completely approved of the plan and said directly: "Send someone to Konoha to contact that guy Danzo Shimura and tell him that I am now interested in his proposal back then." "Yes, Lord Hanzo." Yura responded, and then quickly went to execute the order.

Hanzo picked up the teacup again and blew on the boiling hot tea. The strong poisonous gas instantly dyed the tea purple, which looked very scary.

But Hanzo didn't care and drank the cup of "poison tea" in one breath.

Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

Minato Namikaze, wearing the divine robe of the Fourth Hokage, greeted people enthusiastically along the way and walked into the Hokage Building.

"Yondaime-sama!" The guard ninja of the Hokage Building quickly greeted him. Namikaze Minato said with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work."

Walking in the Hokage Building, he came to the office. As soon as he opened the door, Minato Namikaze saw the figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has stepped down as the Third Hokage, he has been instructing Namikaze Minato on how to do the work of Hokage in recent times.

Of course, this time, he was the one who provided assistance.

If it were any other Fourth Hokage, they might think that Sarutobi Hiruzen was secretly controlling them in order to achieve his goal of controlling Konoha's power behind the scenes.

But Namikaze Minato had no such dark thoughts at all, and listened carefully to the teachings of Sarutobi Hiruzen. What's more, he was getting smoother and smoother on the road to becoming Hokage.

"Oh? Minato, are you here? Judging from your expression, you seem to be happy about something?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile, sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his hand.

Namikaze Minato also had a bright smile on his face, and said a little embarrassedly: "It is a bit happy, Sandaime-sama."

"You don't mind sharing it with an old man like me, right?" Sarutobi Hiruzen teased again.

Namikaze Minato nodded, then said shyly: "Kushina said that she wants a child... Haha, hahahaha..."

The last two laughs were really silly, but Sarutobi Hiruzen also put on a kind and benevolent smile on his face, and then said: "It's great to be young. Congratulations, Minato..."

Namikaze Minato nodded with a smile at first, but then said with some concern: "But Kushina is a Jinchūriki after all, will this process be very dangerous?"

"Lord Mito once said this. It is indeed very dangerous for a Jinchūriki to give birth. Therefore, you should not mention this matter to anyone else. When she really becomes pregnant, this period of time must be kept top secret. She must also find the most trusted person to help with her delivery. My old lady is quite experienced in this area. Let her help Kushina deliver the baby then..." said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Namikaze Minato said happily: "Really? That's great."

But after laughing, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "But it hasn't started yet... It's a bit too early to talk about this now, hahaha."

Chapter 556: Danzo: Diarmait is still very considerate!

Konoha's Root Organization, a ninja from the Land of Rain had his five senses sealed and was secretly brought here.

When his vision and perception returned to normal, he found himself in a small hut, and in front of him sat a guy named Shimura Danzo.

"Greetings, Lord Danzo Shimura." The Rain Country Ninja greeted quickly.

Shimura Danzo nodded, then asked, "Did Hanzo-sama send you here?"

"Yes, Lord Hanzo hopes to establish a friendly alliance with Lord Danzo." said the Rain Country Ninja.

"Really?" Shimura Danzo responded, his eyes changing slightly, and then he quickly asked, "Then, as a symbol of friendly alliance, what do I need to do?"

"The thing is, Lord Hanzo..." The Rain Country Ninja quickly told Danzo Shimura about Hanzo's plan for the Salamander.

After a long time, Shimura Danzo finally finished listening.

But to be honest, he didn't feel Hanzo's sincerity at all.

Hanzo of the Salamander said something nice, like helping him secretly annihilate the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and then taking on this so-called "crime"...

This is not a big deal. Danzo Shimura has never taken the Akatsuki organization seriously, and it is not the first or second time that he has taken the blame, so it doesn't matter.

The key point is that Hanzo of the Salamander should have all the power of the Rain Country in his hands again, but he did not express a clear attitude about supporting himself to be Hokage, which made Danzo a little unhappy.

Of course, he also knew that this was normal. After this cooperation, both parties would exchange some interests and then gradually mention mutual support. ... It was reasonable.

In the original story, Danzo took these into consideration and chose to agree to help Hanzo the Salamander to cause trouble.

12But now, the first person that came to his mind was Diarmait.

Compared with Diarmait, Hanzo of the Salamander seems very petty.

Look at Diarmait. He made his statement clear right from the start and said with certainty and affirmation that once he gained power in the Rain Country, he would immediately and fully support Danzo Shimura to become Hokage.

Moreover, there was some basis for cooperation before, and the transaction of the tailed beasts made Danzo Shimura very satisfied.

To a certain extent, the two sides have already established a certain degree of mutual trust.

Finally, Orochimaru has also joined Diarmait's army.

Danzo and Orochimaru cooperated with each other for many years, and even after Orochimaru defected from Konoha, this cooperation was not really severed, but it became more secretive.

During this period, he contacted Orochimaru many times and learned that Orochimaru was researching the Sharingan. Orochimaru also said that he might give him a surprise later.

Danzo didn't know what the surprise was, and he wasn't particularly looking forward to it, but he was already happy enough knowing that Orochimaru was studying the Sharingan.

Orochimaru's research on the Sharingan represents many meanings. First, he may attack the Uchiha clan in the future. After all, he will definitely need a lot of materials for his research.

Second, Orochimaru is currently researching the Sharingan as a member of the Yorozuya, which means that the Yorozuya will definitely have the opportunity to deal with the Uchiha clan in the future.

Doesn’t this completely fit in with Danzo’s plan and development path?

The Yorozuya supports him to become Hokage, and the Yorozuya also likes to target Uchiha.

How can we not pay attention to such a good partner?

Comparing him with that bastard Hanzo of the Salamander, Danzo Shimura immediately felt that Diarmait was more suitable to be his partner!

We share the same ideals!

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo already had a rough idea in mind, but his face remained calm. He said, "I am very happy to accept your invitation, Mr. Hanzo. I have always hoped to maintain a friendly alliance with the leader of the Hidden Rain Village. So, how many people from our Root will you need to send to ambush and strangle the leader of the Akatsuki organization?"

"Twenty people are enough." The ninja from the Hidden Rain Village said quickly.

It is a decapitation plan in itself. Hanzo of the Salamander is still very confident in his own strength. He brings out Danzo Shimura mainly to shift the blame, so he doesn't need too many people.

Moreover, if Konoha sends a large number of ninjas into the Land of Rain, Hanzo would feel uncomfortable.
