Chapter 1064: , The Spirit of a Demigod
Hearing Hanzo of the Salamander's words, the Sannin all unanimously believed that this was Hanzo actively showing weakness, explaining his behavior.
This also indirectly indicated that Hanzo of the Salamander seemed not to want to continue provoking conflict.
So the three of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although the Rain-nin were indeed completely disintegrated now.
But a person's name is like a tree's shadow.
Hanzo alone was enough for the Sannin to treat seriously.
The three looked at each other, and Orochimaru was the first to ask.
"Since that is the case, why have you come here alone?"
"If the Rain-nin have any conditions, feel free to bring them up."
"But I think with the current situation of the Rain-nin, there is likely no need to start ceasefire negotiations with Konoha."
Orochimaru said in a calm tone while pondering Hanzo of the Salamander's thoughts.
He stared closely at Hanzo with his dark green snake pupils, waiting for Hanzo of the Salamander's response.
In Orochimaru's heart.
The Rain-nin's defeat was already a matter of dozens of days ago.
If Hanzo wanted to stir up trouble again, he shouldn't have waited so many days.
And he didn't come early or late, but chose to come just when Konoha was about to retreat.
Plus Hanzo of the Salamander's show of weakness, Orochimaru guessed in his heart.
Hanzo's arrival this time was most likely to negotiate with Konoha regarding the war.
"Negotiation."
It was actually just the Rain-nin's unilateral begging.
Because on the Rain-nin side, the conditions Hanzo of the Salamander could propose were nothing more than publicly admitting defeat and signing a ceasefire agreement.
But for Konoha, there seemed to be no need for this at all.
Because whether they talked or not.
The Rain-nin had already been completely crippled.
That is to say, for Konoha, the Rain-nin at this moment had neither face nor substance.
So Orochimaru's words also very tactfully indicated this point.
—He hoped Hanzo of the Salamander would know when to retreat.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Hanzo of the Salamander's expression remained extremely calm.
As a peerless hero who led a weak small country to stir up the entire Ninja World single-handedly.
Hanzo naturally would not reveal any flaws because of Orochimaru's few words.
Hanzo naturally understood the deep meaning in Orochimaru's words.
But at this moment, hearing these words, Hanzo of the Salamander just felt a sense of silence in his heart.
The Rain-nin's failure was already a fact.
If it weren't for this trip to the Land of Iron, Hanzo of the Salamander would have really had to swallow his pride and rush to start "negotiations" with Konoha to prevent them from wiping them out.
But now, ever since learning of Mizunuki Ryosuke's plan, Hanzo of the Salamander's mentality had already undergone a earth-shattering change.
Whether it was Konoha or the Rain-nin.
Under the influence of that Fourth Mizukage, they could never be the final victors of this war.
Therefore, after hearing Orochimaru's words, Hanzo of the Salamander actually felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
He took a deep look at the Sannin before him.
His gaze lingered especially on Tsunade.
Because this "Princess of the Senju clan" of Konoha was someone Mizunuki Ryosuke specifically asked him to take care of.
The relationship between Tsunade and Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally needs no explanation.
Not long ago, it was he who gave the three young people before him the title "Legendary Sannin."
For the Sannin, Hanzo of the Salamander was a senior in the Ninja World who held an absolute advantage in status.
But thinking about it now.
Since he had secretly defected to Mizunuki Ryosuke.
Then in front of Tsunade, the "matriarch," Hanzo felt his status had inadvertently dropped by half.
Thinking of this, Hanzo's heart felt increasingly strange.
"Forget it, let's get down to business first."
Hanzo subconsciously shook his head, dispelling the messy thoughts in his heart.
Thinking of this, Hanzo's gaze suddenly became sharp.
An unprecedented killing intent erupted from his body like a tsunami, whistling toward the surroundings.
Under the scouring of this killing intent, the expressions of the Sannin changed simultaneously.
"Not good!!!"
While Orochimaru's expression changed drastically, he also secretly groaned in his heart.
Such terrifying killing intent indicated that Hanzo of the Salamander before him was definitely not joking, but was going to get serious.
This also meant.
He had previously—completely guessed wrong!
At the same time, Hanzo of the Salamander also slowly opened his mouth and said unhurriedly.
"Did you misunderstand something? Orochimaru of the Sannin."
"I indeed did not want my sickle to drink blood today."
"I didn't want to kill that unlucky guy just now either."
As he spoke, Hanzo of the Salamander's tone suddenly paused, his gaze becoming increasingly cold.
"But…"
"I never said…"
"I never said that."
