Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 204 Cooperation
"Ok?"

Hanzo slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the damp ceiling, and the sound of rain that he had long been used to continuously entered his ears.

The sound of 'tick-tick-tick' has never been so pleasant to Hanzo.

"and many more!"

Hanzo suddenly realized a problem, he wanted to raise his right hand to have a look, but found it difficult.

But this only confirmed what Hanzo thought.

"I... not dead?"

Hanzo's dry lips parted slightly, and he murmured weakly to himself.

"Of course you didn't die, Lord Xue Hui spared your life at the end."

A female voice came from the room, and Hanzo could clearly feel the hostility towards him.

Hanzo looked around, and it turned out to be Xiaonan, the only female leader of the Akatsuki organization who was kidnapped by him.

Xiao Nan was leaning against the wall in a daze, but when he heard Hanzo wake up, he left such a sentence angrily, glanced at Hanzo, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

Hanzo didn't care about Xiaonan's actions at this time. What he was more curious about now was why that person would let him go. With what he did to the Akatsuki organization, it was not surprising that he killed himself.

"Lord Xuehui? Why does the name Xuehui sound familiar?"

Hanzo was thinking silently, but he still had no clue, the information on Uzumaki Kingdom was still too old.

Fortunately, Hanzo's confusion didn't linger for too long, the door was pushed open again, and several people entered one after another, filling the small room.

The leader was Xue Hui, followed by three people from Xiao's organization, and Xuan Weng closed the door at the end.

"Hey! Hanzo, don't you feel lucky that you didn't die? You can go back to curl up in your cage again?"

Facing Hanzo lying on the bed, Xuehui still didn't have a good word.

"Everything is meaningless."

Hanzo shook his head.

"Although I am still alive, my life as a Hanzo has completely ended with your ninjutsu."

Hanzo said dejectedly.

"Ah."

Xue Hui chuckled lightly.

"The confident and conceited Hanzo, the timid and suspicious Hanzo, should now become a decadent and useless Hanzo?"

Xue Hui sarcastically said.

Facing Xuehui's cynicism, Hanzo didn't want to feel annoyed during the previous battle. At this moment, he looked at Xuehui calmly, neither affirming nor denying Xuehui's judgment on him.

Instead, he took the initiative to ask Xue Hui.

"Who are you? You are not young. It is impossible for a character like you not to leave traces in the ninja world. Besides, the name Xuehui makes me feel very familiar."

"Since you want to know so much, I'll give you a chance!"

Xuehui formed a seal, and the transformation technique was activated instantly.

"Oh!"

A young version of Xue Hui appeared in front of everyone.

It is completely different from the current long white hair, gloomy, and cold image. Xue Hui more than ten years ago, with short light red hair, is wise, powerful and infectious.

"How? You should have seen this image of me in intelligence, right?"

Xuehui looked at Hanzo, ignoring Nagato Yahiko and the others' exclamation about Xuehui's youthful appearance.

Indeed, as Xuehui said, Hanzo recognized the person in front of him at the first glance. He was a person he admired very much. I sigh and regret not having the opportunity to communicate with Xuehui.

The deeds of the small country that overwhelmed the two major ninja villages deeply shocked and inspired the ninjas of the small country. Hanzo is no exception. Even his choice to provoke the five major countries was also under the influence of Xuehui made.

He also wanted to become a powerful ninja like Xue Hui who led his men to repel the Five Great Nations successfully.

It's a pity that reality gave him a severe blow, and at that time he also selectively ignored the failure of Uzumaki Kingdom's isolation from the ninja world.

Dazed for a while, it was not until Xuehui lifted the transformation technique that Hanzo said with a complicated expression:

"The legend of the country of vortex, Uzumaki Uzumaki Xuehui... I didn't expect it to be you."

"How is it? Now you boys should believe my identity?"

At this time, Xuehui turned his head and said to Yahiko, Nagato and Xiaonan.

Yahiko suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It turns out that your original hair was really red."

Nagato said.

"Then you are really Jiraiya-sensei's teacher?"

Xiao Nan asked curiously.

"That kid Ziraiya, I don't know how he has improved the Spiral Pill. It's not like he hasn't learned it yet!"

Xuehui said with a sigh.

"Back then, Zilai was much younger than you, and it didn't make people worry at all. I just led their team for a few months and it was unbearable!"

"However, although Jiraiya is stubborn, he is the most trustworthy teammate."

Xue Hui confirmed with a smile.

"It's a long time to talk, now it's time to talk about what to do with you, Hanzo."

Xuehui looked again at Hanzo who was quietly looking at this side, and said.

"Now you don't have the right to refuse, Hanzo, I want your forces to merge with those of the Akatsuki organization to form a new force that can completely control the Kingdom of Rain."

"Merge? You want to control the Kingdom of Rain? That's right, after all, the Kingdom of Vortex has already..."

Hanzo guessed and said, unexpectedly, he had no intention of objecting to Xuehui's handling.

"No, I'm not interested in the Kingdom of Rain. The Kingdom of Rain is still under your control. After Yahiko's ability is sufficient, I will hand over the Kingdom of Rain to him. This is what I will do to you."

Xue Hui said something that surprised Hanzo.

"What? Make me the leader of the Rain Country? Wait, the Rain Country? Not the Rain Ninja Village, do you mean—!"

"That's right, I want you to deprive the daimyo of the Land of Rain of all his rights, and make him your puppet, a daimyo who abandons the country for his own enjoyment, if not for his false reputation, I would have let him go straight away. "

Xuehui said.

"I see," Hanzo looked at Yahiko and the others behind Xuehui, who were a little uneasy, but still did not object, nodded and said:

"It seems that you also agree with this proposal."

"For the future of the Land of Rain, and for the people of the Land of Rain to live a peaceful life like other countries, we are willing to do what Master Xuehui said!"

Yahiko struggled for a moment under Hanzo's gaze, then stood up and said firmly.

"Ah, if your forces are successfully united, I think it will be easy to end the chaos in the Land of Rain, but hurry up. The outside world has no time to pay attention to this place. Once the third war is over, it will be different."

Xuehui said.

"This is also because I want to take Nagato away, and I need you to make up for the fighting power of the Akatsuki organization."

Xuehui explained.

"Oh?"

Only then did Hanzo look curiously at the red-haired young man who had never had any sense of existence.
