Naruto: The Savior of the Shinobi World is a Liar?

"..."

  Hanzō opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

  He didn't expect that Konoha knew so much about the current situation of the Land of Rain and Amegakure.

  Why did he, in the Second Shinobi World War, become so unbearable and jump out to declare war on the five great powers?

  It should be known that the Second Shinobi World War had not completely broken out at that time. The disputes between the five great powers were still very restrained and in a state of local friction. At that time, the Land of Rain did not refuse to become a buffer zone for the great powers.

  However, the faces of Sunagakure and Iwagakure were really too ugly, especially those Sunagakure ninja who were about to go crazy with poverty.

  They not only attacked ninja in the Land of Rain, but also did not care about civilian casualties during the battle. Even many Sunagakure ninja would pillage and plunder, and even the Kazekage would turn a blind eye.

  Because Sunagakure Village's financial situation was not very good in the first place, plundering civilians could reduce Sunagakure's financial burden instead.

  Anyway, they were not plundering the civilians of the Land of Wind. The lives of the civilians of small countries were the cheapest.

  Therefore, it was only then that the still young Hanzō could no longer bear it and directly overturned the table and led Amegakure to resist the five great powers.

  But at that time, he was really young, really proud, full of ambition and fantasy, and high-spirited. He vowed to change the Land of Rain, to bring peace to the Land of Rain, and believed that he could change the world with his own power.

  He felt that he was special, and he felt that he and his companions were like the protagonists in the story, and the protagonists and their companions would not die.

  However, when he was injured in the war and reached out to touch the bloody corpse of a companion, and watched more and more people being dragged down and starving to death, he understood that no one in this world was special, no one.

  Therefore, realizing the reality, he let go of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who were his enemies.

  Because at that time, the Land of Rain and Amegakure had almost exhausted their supplies, and could not bear Hiruzen Sarutobi's hysterical anger after losing his disciples.

  Therefore, realizing the reality, he joined forces with Danzō to kill Yahiko, who was very similar to him when he was young.

  Because, in his opinion at that time, everything Yahiko said was just an unrealistic fantasy, which would only shake his hard-won power and status, and would only push the Land of Rain into an unfathomable abyss.

  But the current Hanzō was somewhat regretful.

  If that young man was still alive, if that guy named Nagato was still alive, if he hadn't attacked Akatsuki in the first place, if Amegakure had successors…

  The reason why the Land of Rain could not win or lose in the Second Shinobi World War was only because of his existence, Hanzō.

  At that time, he was still at the peak of his ninja state, but now he was exhausted and old, which meant that the Land of Rain had completely lost its last bargaining chip.

  Now, facing the shameless plunder of Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village, unless he and Amegakure chose not to resist, if they chose to resist again, they would still quickly fall into a state of exhaustion.

  Therefore, their only choice now seemed to be to cooperate with Konoha…

  No, to put it nicely, it was "cooperation," but in fact, it was "dependence."

  "..."

  After a long silence, Hanzō turned his gaze to the Amegakure people behind him, his voice slightly hoarse, "What do you think?"

  As soon as these words came out, he suddenly felt a little disgusted. He knew that he was not giving them the opportunity to choose, but was giving them the responsibility of choosing.

  He was escaping, escaping the choice that should have been made by himself, escaping the responsibility that should have been borne by himself.

  He couldn't even face the current himself.

  He had become the kind of person he hated the most in the past.

  The Amegakure people fell into silence as he had thought. They were not completely unaware of the current situation of Amegakure. The Land of Rain could not come up with resources to meet the logistics needs, and could not support their resistance like the Second Shinobi World War.

  The foundation and power of the great powers were by no means comparable to those of the Land of Rain.

  However, even so, they still hoped to see Hanzō-sama take action like in the past, so that Konoha would understand that Amegakure was not weak and could be bullied, and that Hanzō's majesty could not be provoked by a teenager.

  Even if the consequence of making this choice was to let them sacrifice their lives for it, they were willing to follow Hanzō.

  But now, Hanzō-sama had compromised…

  Disappointed?

  Perhaps there was, but this was the best choice for Amegakure now.

  Understanding?

  Perhaps there was, but it was difficult for them to convince their hearts to depend on a great power that had a blood feud with them.

  Humiliation, anger, unwillingness, confusion, powerlessness…

  The energy in their hearts seemed to have been released at this moment, and the hands holding their weapons were also powerless.

  Seeing this, Hatake Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that this Hanzō had really changed, and there should be no problem with this negotiation.

  Just as he was about to say something.

  Pitter…

  A drop of red water fell from the top of the tower and hit the ground, splashing out water droplets, breaking the suffocating sense of silence and oppression.

  Pitter... pitter…

  Shinda, who was standing next to Hanzō, subconsciously raised his head, but a few drops fell on his parched lips, and the familiar fishy smell of rust made him stunned.

  Crack!

  An extremely abrupt sound rang out, particularly harsh in the desolation, as clear as a silver vase bursting.

  The glass dome on the top floor of the tower had shattered, and glass shards fell from the sky onto the crowd below.

  It was as if a giant hand had lifted the curtain, and the noisy wind surged in from above.

  Immediately, the whistling sound of the wind rang out in the sky, and a black shadow fell down at high speed, just hitting between Hatake Kakashi and Hanzō.

  Bang!

  The Konoha people and the Amegakure people subconsciously took a few steps back, but scarlet blood was squeezed out, splashing on their faces, leaving dark red marks.

  They looked at the distorted figure that had fallen from above with suspicion and uncertainty.

  It was a corpse with a twisted and deformed body. The head, which had been twisted several times, was only connected to the neck by skin. That face had visible astonishment and fear, and shocking blood flowed on the empty ground.

  There were no shocking wounds on that body, but it was full of distortions as if torn by brute force.

  Like a towel that had been wrung out forcefully, the bones and flesh were twisted and rotated to burst out. Pale bones pierced through the flesh and blood like thorns, with visible cruelty and pain.

  "It's you…"

  Hanzō subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked at Hatake Kakashi in front of him, but he also saw Hatake Kakashi cast the same gaze on him.

  "It's not him."

  "Someone has intervened."

  Looking at the suspicion and uncertainty in each other's eyes, the two realized this almost at the same time, and then instantly raised their heads and looked upwards.

  Just in front of the shattered glass dome, a figure was suspended there in the air.

  The dim moonlight behind him illuminated the surroundings with him as the center, clearly illuminating the fearful and chaotic faces of the people below. The filth and dirt inside the entire tower were undoubtedly revealed.

  "It's really disappointing."

  "The once unruly Hanzō has now had his spine broken and turned into an old dog."

  He looked down at the people below, his high-ranking words were full of mockery, announcing his existence.
