"Bring him up."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo of the Salamander frowned and said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Soon, Salamander Shinda brought a very burly Rock Ninja before Hanzo.

This Rock Ninja, although looking honest, had a firm expression, young in appearance but exuding a unique aura of a powerhouse, forming a sharp contrast with Salamander Shinda who was walking with him.

Seeing this, a hint of complexity flashed in Hanzo's eyes.

Whether it was Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hoshigaki Kisame he had seen before, or Tsunade of Konoha, including the Rock Ninja in front of him, they were all young and powerful ninja.

These are all telling Hanzo of the Salamander about the foundation of the Five Great Nations, and such a foundation is difficult for small households like the Rain Ninja to shake.

Rain Ninja, there is no one to succeed...

Thinking of this, Hanzo's mood became exceptionally complex.

"My name is Kitsuchi, son of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki."

"I seek to see the Rain Ninja leader, just for one thing."

Kitsuchi went straight to the point, without any bends, directly stating his identity.

"Oh?"

"You say this, do you think I dare not kill you?!"

After hearing Kitsuchi's words, Hanzo of the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly, and a monstrous murderous aura bloomed all over his body.

The terrifying chill and murderous aura made Salamander Shinda beside Kitsuchi stumble in shock.

"Not so."

"My father once told me that just because you are Hanzo of the Salamander, you will not and cannot kill me."

"I stated my identity just because I didn't want to hide it from you on this point."

Kitsuchi said seriously. On the firm face of this honest young man, Hanzo of the Salamander saw a hint of sincerity.

Hanzo of the Salamander was indifferent on the surface, but his heart was full of complexity.

I didn't expect that the ones who understand him are always his enemies.

"Speak."

Finally, Hanzo of the Salamander withdrew his murderous aura.

Just as Kitsuchi said, at this time Hanzo of the Salamander is still that Demigod of the Ninja World, far from losing his arrogance and style.

Unless Kitsuchi intentionally offended him, otherwise even if it was an enemy, Hanzo of the Salamander would not make things difficult for Kitsuchi.

When two armies are at war, don't kill the envoy; he still has this much style. Even if the other party is a key figure of the Rock Ninja.

From another angle, the Rock Ninja are willing to send this Tsuchikage's son to meet him. Regardless of what the Rock Ninja are craving, it is enough to show the other party's sincerity.

Hanzo of the Salamander has even less reason to make things difficult for Kitsuchi.

"I came here this time to seek an alliance between the Rock Ninja and you."

"Of course, this alliance is not hoping that you will help the Rock Ninja do anything."

"But a win-win."

Kitsuchi did not sell the pass and directly explained his intention.

On the firm face of this young man, you seem to be unable to see any extra scheming.

"Speak."

Hanzo of the Salamander still said coldly, but not stopping him already explained a lot of problems.

"Next, you will inevitably choose to launch a war against the Rock Ninja."

"For such a resolution, we will not stop it."

"But at that time, we hope that the war you launch this time is just a feint."

"As a reward, the Rock Ninja will not counterattack, nor will they stop you on the road where you lead your army to retreat, and they will default to the result of this war as a 'draw' to the outside world."

Kitsuchi said all the demands of the Rock Ninja in one breath, and the content made Hanzo of the Salamander's pupils shrink slightly.

Afterward, this small courtyard that was rainy all year round fell into a long silence.

Still that sentence, in the Ninja World, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends, only eternal benefits.

Although the Rock Ninja themselves are also one of the culprits who have been ravaging the land of the Land of Rain for years, and even they themselves are the objects of liquidation in this war, as a qualified politician and leader, one cannot care too much about temporary gains and losses.

In order to realize the ultimate ideal and ambition, there is nothing that cannot be endured temporarily.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander suffered setbacks in the war with the Sand Ninja, and he realized that war is not a one-man affair.

Although his ambition has not been extinguished, he also knows that if the Rain Ninja fight the Rock Ninja again, regardless of the outcome.

Even if the Rain Ninja luckily wins, they simply cannot compete with the Ninja World hegemon Konoha, even with him, the Demigod of the Ninja World.

But words spoken are like spilled water; there is no turning back. At the moment of declaring war on the Three Great Nations, the Rain Ninja had no way out.

And now, the Rock Ninja proactively provided Hanzo of the Salamander with another shortcut.

Through political transactions, the Rain Ninja only need to feign an attack, and the Rock Ninja will default to the result of a draw.

This is not only equivalent to Hanzo of the Salamander skipping the process and getting the result, but also getting a heaven-sent opportunity given by the Rock Ninja.

When Konoha thinks that the Rain Ninja are caught in a bitter battle with the Rock Ninja, at this time the Rain Ninja suddenly turn their guns to sneak attack Konoha.

In this way, the balance of victory will directly tilt.

And in this transaction with the Rock Ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander guessed that the Rock Ninja must have taken action in other aspects, which is why they proposed such an exchange.

But no matter who the Rock Ninja choose to strike against, it has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, Hanzo of the Salamander's initial plan was to completely incite the Ninja World War, so that the Rain Ninja could fish in troubled waters.

Now, the actions of the Rock Ninja also show that all this is more favorable to the Rain Ninja.

Hanzo of the Salamander seems to have no reason to refuse.

After some contemplation, Hanzo of the Salamander finally chose to submit to reality and agreed to this "shortcut" provided by Iwagakure.

"I agree."

Hanzo of the Salamander said lightly, his expression neither sad nor happy.

"A wise decision."

"I think you will definitely not regret the decision you made today."

Kitsuchi said slowly, and then revealed an honest smile.
