Chapter 13 Konoha 3 Ninja
"Who are you...?"
Looking at Danzo approaching step by step, Ono struggled unwillingly.
But the pain throughout his body made it impossible for him to support himself, and he could only watch the cold light of the kunai flash by.
"This is the last one."
After looking at the corpses around him and making sure that no one had escaped, Danzo began to collect the spoils.
Things are different now. If Hiruzen doesn't give me money, I can't miss any opportunity to make money.
Using the water created by the Rain Ninjas, Danzo performed the Great Waterfall Technique which was several times more powerful than in a waterless environment.
One blow knocked them out of their ability to resist.
The three little ones' eyes were sparkling with stars.
"Master Danzo, I want to learn this move!"
"Me too, me too!"
As the shadow clones were released, the three little ones hurried forward.
"Haha, you think it's too simple. If you want to learn water jutsu, you first need to check your chakra attributes."
"Eh~~"
It was the first time for the three of them to hear of such a thing.
"We still have some distance to go, so let me tell you some basic knowledge about chakra on the way."
In order to relieve boredom, Danzo decided to let them understand chakra in advance.
The four people and the dog walked towards their destination happily, leaving behind only a few cleaned corpses.
......
Three hours later.
The Rain Ninjas who had gathered at the original location waited for a long time but did not see Ono's team. They realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly searched in the direction they were responsible for.
The result is......
"Confirmed, 6 bodies, every one of them matches."
"This is difficult..."
Scratching his head helplessly, the leading Rain Ninja was in a terrible mood at the moment.
He ordered someone to kill two of his own senior ninjas in the rear, but he himself didn't even know who the murderer was.
These are two jonin, and can be said to be the high-end combat force of the Hidden Rain Village.
"Collect their bodies and we will go back to report to the village leaders."
"Yes!"
......
"It's amazing that he has managed to struggle this far, at such a young age."
Standing on top of the well, Hanzo looked down upon everyone.
Except for the three young men in front of him, all the other Konoha ninjas fell to the ground, either dead or injured.
This campaign to conquer Hanzo, which was carefully planned by Yan and others and involved the deployment of elite troops, ultimately failed to achieve the expected results.
Even Yan himself was beaten so badly that he was at a loss.
[What is the second generation of Hokage's elite guards? Is that all they are capable of? They are not as good as the young man in front of them.]
After glancing at Yan who was still lying dead beside him with disdain, Hanzo turned his attention back to the three young men in front of him.
The losses on our side are also quite heavy. If the fighting continues, I'm afraid the Hidden Rain Village will lose an entire generation.
After calculating the current strength on paper, Hanzo clearly felt the terrifying power of Konoha's profound foundation.
We can't fight any longer.
[These three people are said to be disciples of Konoha Hokage. If we kill them, we will definitely incur the wrath of the other party. ]
Sarutobi Hiruzen is still very famous. He is the ninja hero who led Konoha to win the First Ninja World War.
These three people cannot be killed.
Having made up his mind, Hanzo decided to give them a way out.
"I'm afraid Konoha Village will win this war, so I'll spare your lives."
Hearing Hanzo's slightly sarcastic words, Tsunade was indignant at first, but when she thought about the gap in combat power between the two sides, she finally did not get angry.
But Jiraiya, who was being supported by her, was obviously a little drunk.
"We don't need your pity, we can still fight!"
Tsunade:?
Orochimaru:?
[Fuck, why didn't we know we could still fight?! ]
They were both shocked at the same time.
Even Mitokado En, who was said to be second only to Sarutobi Hiruzen, is lying down. Can we please stop trying to be so stubborn?
"Stop it, Jiraiya!"
Tsunade hurriedly stopped Jiraiya from being stubborn.
You need someone to support you so you can stand steadily. Do you still look like you can fight?
Even Hanzo's eyes when he looked at Jiraiya changed a little.
[Has this guy always been this brave? ]
"The three of you are very strong. Not only have you survived so far, but you can also fight against me. I will give you some time to come back after you become stronger."
Seeing the stubborn look in the white-haired young man's eyes, Hanzo gave them a few more steps.
"In exchange for your lives, you will state your names."
"Hmph, Jiraiya!"
"Tsunade!"
"Orochimaru!"
"Your names are engraved in my heart."
[Especially this guy called Jiraiya, you have to remember this, he is so reckless.]
Hanzo made a secret decision in his mind.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru. From now on, I, Hanzo, will call you the 'Three Ninjas of Konoha'."
[I think Konoha should propose a fairer ceasefire agreement. ]
Since I'm doing so much to build up momentum for his disciples, the Hokage should at least be grateful.
This is his disciple, so rounding it off is equivalent to praising him. Hanzo thought that this move was still giving face to the other party.
I took another look at the three people in front of me. Oh yes, I should call them the "Three Ninjas" from now on.
[However, these three guys do have great talents. One day, they will become famous throughout the ninja world.]
Hanzo left without looking back.
Watching Hanzo leave, Jiraiya, who was holding on for a breath, finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed weakly.
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade hurriedly helped the other person up.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade."
"Stop talking, I'll treat you."
Laying Jiraiya flat, Tsunade began to perform medical ninjutsu on him.
"Orochimaru, go check on Lord Mitomon."
"Ah."
Orochimaru's condition is much stronger than Jiraiya's, at least he has no problem walking freely.
Arriving next to Yan, Orochimaru sniffed his breath to make sure that the advisor was still breathing. Then he squatted down and prepared to help him up.
As if sensing Orochimaru's arrival, Yan's lips kept trembling, as if he wanted to say something.
"Don't worry, Master Yan, Hanzo is gone."
Orochimaru thought that the other party wanted to ask about Hanzo's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, after hearing the answer, Yan slowly shook his head.
[Could it be that there is something important to be told? ]
Thinking that Yan had some other plans, Orochimaru put his ear close to him, ready to listen to what he had to say.
"Where are my...my...my glasses..."
......
Fortunately, Orochimaru has good self-control, otherwise I would really like to send this old guy away.
Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Orochimaru finally resisted the urge to stab the other person to death with a kunai.
......
Konoha temporary camp.
Danzo successfully led the three little ones to the outskirts of the camp.
"Lord Danzo."
Shiichi, who possessed the parasitic bug, sensed Danzo's chakra early on and hurried outside to greet him.
"Oh, Zhiyi, how is it, is that guy Nawaki okay?"
Seeing Shiichi appear, Danzo patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.
The three little ones hid at the back, looking at the Konoha camp curiously.
"It's fine, Lord Danzo. Are you here to support the campaign against Hanzo?"
Welcoming Danzo into the camp, Shichi asked as he led the way.
Seeing Danzo arrive at this time, he thought that the other party had made an appointment with Yan.
"What? Defeat Hanzo?"
Danzo was stunned and noticed that the only faces he could see in the camp were those of Chunin and Genin, and there was no Jonin except Shiichi.
"Don't you know?"
When Zhiyi saw Danzo's reaction, he realized that the other party had no idea about this matter at all.
Therefore, he told Hanzo about Yan's plan to take the elite members of the team to surround and kill him early in the morning.
After learning from Orochimaru that Shiichi was also a Jonin, Yan planned to include him in the expeditionary force.
But he refused on the grounds that he was carrying out a mission assigned by Danzo.
This kid named Nawaki was too reckless. He almost stepped on the explosive trap several times. Thanks to Danzo's previous reminder, Zhiyi was extra careful and perceptive.
Although he wanted to contribute to the war, he was afraid that something would happen to the boy if he left, so Zhiyi finally stayed in the camp.
Seeing that the other party took out Danzo to suppress him, as if he was very afraid of Danzo, he was so angry that he immediately...
I endured it.
After listening to Shiichi's story, Danzo stopped and began to think.
[Last time, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were able to tie with Hanzo. This time, I added a flame, so I should be able to beat Hanzo to a pulp. ]
[After all, Yan's strength is second only to himself and Hiruzen. ]
Danzo's judgment of Yan's strength is still stuck in the period of the First Ninja World War.
He totally failed to take into account that after the First Ninja World War, this elite jonin devoted himself to his work as a consultant and had no time for training.
Even Danzo himself, if he had not been reborn, would have eventually become a strange man who used a kunai to stab Susanoo according to the course of his previous life.
Therefore, he would never have thought that his good friend, whom he had high hopes for, had his glasses so badly hit that they flew away, and he seemed to be breathing out more than breathing in, and he looked like he would return to heaven in the next second.
