Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"A letter from Yahiko and the others?"

Ito Toru's heart moved. He originally thought that Jiraiya had brought some news, but then he thought, Jiraiya was probably enjoying himself exploring stores and couldn't extricate himself, so how could he think of writing a letter.

He drew inspiration from it and wrote about the intimate paradise...

However, it is almost time.

Time passes, the times progress, and while he is concentrating on training the next generation in Konoha, the Akatsuki organization in the Rain Country should have developed to a point that Hanzo absolutely cannot ignore.

and so……

The conflict between the two is inevitable!

It is not just a conflict between new and old forces, but also a conflict between the dominant ideas of the Rain Kingdom!

In the original work, Yahiko and his companions were too naive. They naively believed that Hanzo was still the same Hanzo as before, but they didn't know that under the torture of assassination and the influence of power, even a former demigod would fall.

Because he felt unsure, he even invited reinforcements from Konoha...

It can be said that this made a group of young boys who had just started out feel the darkness of the ninja world!

It also made Nagato understand the mystery of pain.

If Nagato is a missionary of pain, then Hanzo must be an archbishop of pain!

However, with the presence of Scorpion this time, Yahiko and his companions should not be unprepared.

Why did you write a special letter?

In just a flash, many thoughts flashed through Toru Ito's mind.

"It seems you should have some guesses."

Seeing Ito Toru thinking, Orochimaru nodded slightly with a look of relief.

"It's just my personal guess. Could it be that... they are going to have a head-on conflict with Hanzo?"

"Not only that, in their letter, they mentioned that they had found traces of contact between Konoha Anbu and Hanzo."

"Danzo?!"

"Yes, it's him. I feel like there have been fewer people around recently. Now, combined with the information given by Yahiko and the others, it's not difficult to guess that this guy wants to win over the demigod Salamander Hanzo..."

"But it doesn't matter anymore."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with sharpness: "If I hadn't specifically investigated these things, I wouldn't even have noticed them."

"I also asked Nono, and Danzo did not seek intelligence support from her."

"Danzo wants to leave us behind in this operation, so he must be leading the main force!"

"……I see."

Orochimaru hadn't finished speaking yet, but Ito Toru already understood what he meant.

"Catch all these guys in one fell swoop and completely pull up Danzo's strength!"

Orochimaru, who always appeared in a gloomy image, clenched his fists and his face turned slightly red.

"This is a great opportunity!"

"Take the roots into our hands!"

"it is good!"

Of course, Toru Ito was happy to agree.

He has also been unhappy with Danzo for a long time.

"So, next we..."

The sounds of their conspiracy were slowly covered by the falling snow, then quietly picked up by the passing north wind and blown far away until they disappeared.

And this passing north wind passed over the noisy village, passed through the dense woods, and blew all the way to a country shrouded in water vapor.

Here, the icy cold is completely wrapped in the huge water vapor, and the white snowflakes turn into cold transparent raindrops, thousands of which fall from the sky, hit the ground, and bloom into small water splashes one after another.

"It is raining again."

In a cave, Scorpion was checking his puppet.

The only thing he was dissatisfied with about the country's environment was that it was too humid, so he had to carefully apply maintenance oil to the puppet's mechanism every time, otherwise it would rust.

Beside him, Yahiko had a frown on his face, Konan looked worried, and Nagato still had his head down, with no expression on his face.

"The letter has already been sent out, so don't have that expression."

"But...will Lord Orochimaru agree to our request?"

Yahiko was a little restless.

From the moment he sent the letter, he felt a little regretful and embarrassed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Whether he agrees or not, we have to try."

Scorpion's tone remained calm: "Didn't I tell you before? With our current combat power, it is difficult to achieve victory without losing our companions."

"Or are you willing to lose a few companions just for the sake of the guilt in your heart?"

"That's not what I thought!"

Yahiko clenched his fists, then loosened them weakly, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I just didn't expect that the former demigod would become like this..."

Originally under Scorpion's plan, everything was going very smoothly.

They also managed to make Akatsuki a semi-official organization without alerting Hanzo.

Yahiko, Nagato and Sasori even infiltrated Hanzo's army and served as Hanzo's soldiers for a period of time.

After all, everyone wears a gas mask, so there is no need for too much disguise.

However, over the past few days, their disappointment with Hanzo has become more than a little bit.

The demigod who was once ambitious is now like a turtle, shrinking in his own little piece of land. Every day, all kinds of delicious food and drinks and luxurious expenses are transported in, and all kinds of corpses are transported out.

Scorpion flower bought some corpses at a high price and showed Yahiko and Nagato the bloody causes of death of these people, which were all caused by Hanzo.

Yahiko and Nagato, who still had illusions in their hearts, had their filters completely shattered and began to prepare for a fight.

In order to test Hanzo's strength, Scorpion paid Kakuzu, a new member of the Akatsuki organization, to do the dirty work and assassinate him. As a result, Kakuzu lost two lives and almost died for Hanzo!

However, at the critical moment, Konoha's Anbu took action and Kakuzu was unclear about the situation, so he retreated in a hurry and said he would not go alone no matter what.

In order to avoid being assigned any tasks, the villain Jiaodu even took a private job and went to work in other countries.

"At first my village asked me to assassinate the God of Ninja World, I went, then they made me take the blame and drove me away. Now you asked me to assassinate the Demigod of Ninja World, I went too, you can't let me take the blame again, right?"

The words Kakuzu said when he left are still ringing in my ears.

The thin-skinned Yahiko trio were almost unable to hold back.

Fortunately, Scorpion was able to hold his nerve and calmly gave him a month's paid leave, and guaranteed that Hanzo would have been dealt with when he returned, so Kakuzu did not pack up and run away overnight.

"Anyway, no matter whether your Lord Orochimaru agrees or not, as long as that person comes, it will be fine."

Scorpion finished maintaining his puppet and then moved his fingers slightly.

Click~click~

Along with the sound of the mechanism moving, the puppet stood up flexibly.

"Well, yes."

He nodded in satisfaction and put the puppet into the scroll.

Bang!

When the fog dissipated, three figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Um?!"

Scorpion and his companions were suddenly shocked.

They had no idea when these three figures appeared!

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Accompanied by a casual and lazy voice, Ito Toru walked in front, followed by Kimimaro and Karin, and walked into the cave under the surprised gaze of Yahiko and the other two.

"Are you in trouble, my friends?"

Toru Ito took a look at the simple interior and the only lit bonfire.

"It looks like you guys aren't doing very well."
