Chapter 42 Sansho Fish Hanzo

Yuyin Village.

Under the repeated urging of the guards, Sanshouyu Hanzo reluctantly walked into the office. Looking at the mountains of reports on the desk, he frowned and began to deal with them one by one.

When the guard next to him saw this, his eyes were full of worry.

They are both worried about their leader, Sanshouyu Hanzo, and also worried about the future of the Rain Country.

The former Hanzo-sama was not what he is now. Ten years ago or even five years ago, Hanzo-sama was full of enthusiasm for work, full of care for his subordinates, and wanted to spend all his time on the rise of the Kingdom of Rain.

And under the leadership of Lord Hanzo, they repelled the invaders from the Kingdom of Wind, drove the Sand Ninja out of the Kingdom of Rain, and made the Rain Hidden Village the most prestigious ninja village outside the five major ninja villages.

But I don’t know when it started, Master Hanzo fell.

Not only did they lose their ambition to open up new territories, but they even bothered to resolve domestic affairs. The long-term laziness directly led to the exodus of a large number of ninjas from Yuyin Village, and bandits became rampant in the territory.

As guards along the way, they can also guess the reason for Lord Hanzo's corruption.

It seems that because the Country of Rain is located in a place where there are four wars, Rain Hidden Village cannot expand externally. After seeing no hope of becoming a great country, Hanzo-sama simply gave up on his responsibilities, and his vision became increasingly narrow.

From hoping for the rise of the Land of Rain, to seeing only the surroundings of the Rain Hidden Building.

If it weren't for the reminders from people like them, Hanzo-sama might not even bother to deal with official duties, and would just stay in the room all day long drinking tea and enjoying life.

In their hearts, they hope that Lord Hanzo can regain his original intention and lead them to take the initiative to start the war.

Hanzo also noticed the strange looks in the guards' eyes, but didn't say anything more.

This group of people do not understand the plight of the Rain Country at all. The Rain Country can be solved without hard work. In the last ninja war, the Amegakure Village did not become the winner, and it will not be the winner in future ninja wars.

Rather than risk participating in a great ninja war, it would be better to declare a closed country to the outside world.

Given the barrenness of the Kingdom of Rain, as long as it maintains sufficient combat effectiveness, there is no need to worry about other countries attacking the Kingdom of Rain. As for whether the ordinary people in the country are living well or not, this has nothing to do with him.

The reputation he gained in the first half of his life was enough for him to enjoy himself in the second half of his life.

There is no need to spend time and energy on meaningless work.

However, no matter how lazy he is at work, he has always maintained contact with the major ninja villages and secretly participated in many conspiracies.

After getting down to business, Sansho Hanzo quickly noticed Shigure's mission report.

Shigure is one of the people in charge of the black market. He can track the whereabouts of wandering ninjas in the Land of Rain through the movement of black market supplies.

In Shigure’s report, Hanzo quickly noticed the words ‘Akatsuki Organization’.

Akatsuki means the first ray of light when the sun rises. The Akatsuki organization that calls itself this name makes Hanzo a little more interested, and he seems to have heard of this organization somewhere, and it feels familiar.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Hanzo asked his subordinates on the side:

"Do any of you know about the Akatsuki organization?"

After hearing Hanzo's question, the guard on the side quickly said:

"Master Hanzo, the Akatsuki organization has been very active in the Kingdom of Rain recently. It is said to be a peaceful organization that was established recently. They seem to be committed to achieving mutual understanding between people and have been helping villagers fight against bandits and wandering ninjas."

"Help to fight against bandits?" Sanshouyu Hanzo frowned: "In other words, they are a ninja organization. Can you tell me the details of this organization?"

"Yes." The guard nodded, and then told him all the information he knew.

After hearing that the person who founded the Akatsuki organization was a disciple of Jiraiya, Sansho Hanzo's expression changed and his expression became serious.

The actions of the Akatsuki organization in gathering ninjas and protecting ordinary people didn't matter to him, as they helped him maintain law and order in the Land of Rain.

But Jiraiya's identity as his apprentice aroused his vigilance.

His defeated general Jiraiya secretly took in three orphans after being defeated.

These three orphans actually established a peace organization.

I just don’t know if Jiraiya is behind this peaceful organization, and whether it will pose a threat to his rule. If it can really threaten him...

Thinking of this, Sanshouyu Hanzo shook his head slightly.

How could a new organization threaten his rule? Even Yahiko and his teacher Jiraiya, together with Orochimaru and Tsunade, were no match for him.

The only people in the entire ninja world who can make him feel afraid are a few old guys of the same age.

Moreover, he and Konoha's high-level officials have maintained cooperation and have always had a good relationship. They even carried out a conspiracy together before, causing the death of the third Raikage at the hands of Iwagakure.

With such a relationship, it is impossible for Konoha to take action against the Hidden Rain Village.

And if it is really a spy organization, the Akatsuki organization cannot act in such a high-profile manner.

Continuing to listen to reports from his subordinates about the Akatsuki organization, Sanshouyu Hanzo further confirmed that the Akatsuki organization was by no means a threat, and that their behavior was more like his younger self.

Full of vitality and hope for the future.

Unfortunately, how long can hope last? This young man named Yahiko will be defeated by reality sooner or later, and choose to succumb to reality just like himself.

At that time, he might take the initiative to join him and become a Jonin under him.

Instead of worrying about these, it is better to think about the war between Konoha and Iwagakure. This is the biggest threat to Amegakure Village.

Thinking of this, Sansho Hanzo opened another piece of information, which recorded the battle of Kannabi Bridge and information about Namikaze Minato.

Golden flash, the ability to abandon a mission without being punished when encountering a golden flash, the art of the Flying Thunder God.

Each piece of information related to Minato stimulated Sansho Hanzo's nerves, and Sansho Hanzo began to wonder if he was getting old.

After all, his teleportation technique couldn't kill several jounin in a short period of time.

This Konoha Jounin named Namikaze Minato may be able to become his strong enemy in the future, and compared with Namikaze Minato, Yahiko is nothing at all.

Not a ninja of the same level at all.

Konoha is indeed Konoha. After the birth of strong men like the Sannin and Hatake Sakumo, it took less than ten years for another extremely outstanding ninja to appear.

And there are not even a few decent elite jounin in Amegakure Village, and they can't choose a successor.

If something goes wrong with his body, there will be no successor in the Amegakure Village. I am afraid that even Konoha, who is currently on good terms with him, will put his thoughts on the Amegakure Village.

Why is the Kingdom of Rain so weak, and why can't it cultivate a qualified heir?

After his death, what should Yuyin Village do?

Thinking of this, Sanshouyu Hanzo suddenly felt a little tired. He sighed softly, turned around, left the office, and walked towards the room.

He needs a good rest before he can continue with his official duties.

After seeing this scene, the eyes of the guards on the side obviously dimmed a bit. After less than two hours of work, Master Hanzo went to have fun again.
