Chapter 913 Oasis

The people of Sand Village, an oasis in the desert, live in a difficult environment, but they have firm beliefs and courage, and they have a lofty goal in their hearts, which is to defeat the Fire Country and become a great kingdom. This legend has been passed down for hundreds of years, but in recent years, due to the increasing strength of the Fire Country, Sand Village is facing unprecedented challenges.

At this time, a mysterious letter came to the village, which was filled with all kinds of secret information about the Land of Fire. This letter instantly caused a sensation in the whole village, and the villagers began to discuss it. The old people sighed: "It seems that the Sand Village is going to gamble again!" The young people said excitedly: "Who cares, let's fight!" So the village held an emergency meeting to decide whether to accept this challenge.

The oldest woman in the village, Chiyo, stood up and said, "Comrades, we can no longer hesitate. This war has been launched and we have to start it!"

After hearing her words, everyone present was silent for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. Chiyo continued, "However, everyone must act with caution. Don't forget that the other party is from the Land of Fire, where there are tough guys like Hanzo and Orochimaru. We must make sure there is no risk before we take action. Of course, even if we lose in the end, it's no big deal, at least we tried."

After listening to Chiyo's words, everyone knew that this war was inevitable. So they began to make a detailed plan to launch an attack on the Fire Country. However, at this time, news came from the Iwagakure Village in the Grass Country. They were also eyeing the Fire Country and hoped that the Sand Village could help them fight against the Fire Country.

The main reason why the Hidden Rock Village was so anxious was because of a new ninja from the Land of Fire, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze. This guy was able to master the space-time ninjutsu at a young age, and he was simply a genius. He once broke into the supply base of the Hidden Rock Village alone, and went back and forth in the enemy's camp without any damage. His speed was as fast as lightning, and no one in the ninja world could match him.

Facing such a strong enemy, the ninjas of Sand Village felt a lot of pressure. They knew that if they couldn't defeat the Fire Nation, they would be suppressed by the Fire Nation forever. So they decided to give it a try, even if they lost in the end, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After careful planning, the Sand Village finally launched an attack on the Fire Country. They used various means to successfully destroy multiple bases of the Fire Country. The Fire Country ninjas were caught off guard and fell into chaos. However, just when they thought they had won, the yellow flash Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared and led the Fire Country ninjas to counterattack.

Although the ninjas of Sand Village fought bravely, they were eventually defeated by the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze. They left the battlefield with endless regrets and returned to the village. Granny Chiyo looked at them and comforted them: "Children, don't be discouraged. Failure is not terrible. As long as we learn from the lesson, we will definitely defeat them next time."

From then on, the ninjas of the Sand Village practiced even harder. They believed that one day, they would stand on the battlefield again, defeat the Fire Nation, and realize their dreams.

Rain Village, this is the most remote place in the ninja world! Well, Konoha and Sand Village are fighting fiercely, this is really a good place to relax. Look, old man Hanzo is sitting by the stone mill at the entrance of the village, cracking melon seeds, which is more comfortable than drinking tea or coffee.

Hey, you see, our old man Hanzo is the most bizarre rain ninja leader in the world. This story makes people laugh. Do you know that this old guy was a great man when he was young and had the title of demigod? Oh, think about how glorious he was at that time, and he could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. But now, he is being led by a little kid, which is really ridiculous.

By the way, this little kid is Orochimaru. He is not a simple man. He did not use any insidious means, but relied on the general situation of Konoha. You said that this matter caused a lot of trouble. What can the old man Hanzo do? He could only bite the bullet and agree.

Hanzo read the letter, feeling angry and helpless. He thought, "I used to be revered as a demigod, how come I was used to this extent by a little guy today?" He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I'm really old!"

Moreover, this Hanzo is already 70 years old. At this age, he is really old and frail. Looking down, the current situation of Rain Village is really terrible. There are dilapidated houses and barren fields everywhere, which is really distressing. However, he recalled the bloody massacres that the Rain Country experienced a year ago, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could this be the work of Sunagakure?"

At this moment, Hanzo suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. He quickly stood up and shouted to the ninjas around him: "Everyone be careful, there may be enemies!"

So, Hanzo led dozens of Rain Ninjas and groped forward cautiously. They found that it was a group of Sand Ninjas who were lying in ambush. Hanzo thought to himself: "It seems that this war will soon spread to the entire Rain Country."

He knew that before the war came, he had to be fully prepared. Otherwise, once Konoha stopped providing material assistance to Rain Village, the days of Rain Village would become even more difficult.

However, Hanzo also understood that this war was not so easy to win. If the operation failed, not only would Konoha be severely damaged, but even the Rain Village would not be spared. Therefore, he had to act cautiously and not be careless.

Just then, Hanzo suddenly heard footsteps. He looked up and saw a young Rain Ninja walking towards him. The young man's name was Kai, and he was an excellent ninja in the Rain Ninja Village. He walked up to Hanzo and said respectfully, "Master Hanzo, I heard that you needed help, so I came here to serve my country."

Hanzo looked at the young man in front of him, feeling deeply moved. He thought: "Maybe this young man can become the new hope of Rain Village." So, he patted Kai on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Child, are you willing to join our team and fight to defend our homeland?"

Kai nodded without hesitation and answered firmly: "Yes, Master Hanzo. I am willing to make every effort for the Rain Village."

Hanzo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the other ninjas and said, "Everyone, we are now facing a severe challenge. However, as long as we unite as one and fight against the enemy together, I believe we will be able to win."

All the ninjas expressed their agreement, and they shouted in unison: "Fight for Rain Village, fight for honor!"

In this way, Hanzo led the ninjas of Rain Village on their journey. They firmly believed that as long as they persevered and moved forward courageously, they would be able to overcome difficulties and win the final victory.

The situation in the village was really chaotic in those days. Those guys were making trouble every day, making people panic, and the big boss Danzo had a stern face all day long, which made people feel uneasy. Even the children knew that Danzo was a freak in this village.

That evening, Danzo and several of his men hid in the research institute to do something shameful, hoping to pass on the precious Wood Release ability to his men. As soon as the matter was exposed, Hiruzen discovered it.

"Master Danzo, what are you doing?" a researcher asked cautiously.

Danzo glanced at him and said unhappily, "Why are you asking me? I want to ask you something!"

The researcher was so scared that he dared not speak, so he just walked away silently. Danzo looked at his back and felt angry, thinking: "These idiots are really wasting my time and money!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. Danzo frowned and thought, "Could it be Hiruzen?" He hurried out of the room and saw a group of Anbu ninjas surrounding the entrance of the research institute.

"Huruzen, what are you doing here?" Danzo asked calmly.

Hiruzen looked at him coldly and said, "Danzo, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this secretly behind my back?"

Danzo's heart tightened, but he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface and said, "Huruzen, don't get me wrong, I just want to improve the strength of our village."

Hiruzen sneered, "Improve your strength? If you do that, you'll only make the village more dangerous!"

Danzo couldn't help but feel a little angry after hearing this, and said, "Huruzen, mind your own business!"

Hiruzen ignored him and turned to the Anbu ninja next to him and said, "From now on, Root ninjas are not allowed to leave Konoha. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed without mercy!"

Danzo was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Hiruzen would actually dare to attack him. He stood there in a daze, speechless for a long time. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at those Anbu ninjas, thinking: "Forget it, I have to pack up and leave anyway. But, these Wood Release ninjas in my hands..."

At this moment, a young ANBU ninja walked up to Danzo and handed him a note. Danzo took it and saw that it said: "Danzo-sama, I am willing to be loyal to you and help you complete the Wood Release Ninja training plan."

Danzo was overjoyed when he saw it, and he immediately called the young ninja. After discussing it, the two sides decided to temporarily abandon the original plan and implement another more secret plan.

Soon after, a long-planned conspiracy quietly unfolded. Danzo and his new team sneaked into Hiruzen's office. They took the opportunity to steal Hiruzen's seal and documents, and then quickly fled the scene.

However, they didn't know that all of this had already been discovered by Hiruzen. Hiruzen had already laid a net and was waiting for their arrival. When Danzo and his companions just escaped from the village, they were ambushed by Hiruzen.

After a fierce battle, Danzo was finally defeated. He looked at Hiruzen, smiled bitterly and said, "Hiruzen, you win."

Hiruzen looked at him, sighed, and said, "Danzo, why do you always refuse to look back?"

Danzo shook his head and said, "I just want to contribute to the village."

Hiruzen said helplessly: "Well, in that case, let me personally see you off for the last time." After that, he waved his hand, signaling his men to take Danzo back to the village.

From then on, Danzo never returned to the village, and the group of Wood Release Ninjas he left behind became a powerful force in the village.

It was said that day, our village leader, Comrade Hiruzen, walked into old man Danzo's territory with a dark face, and scared the old man like a rabbit, with his fox fur standing up. Then Hiruzen said a few harsh words, and the old man obeyed like a puppet. That scene made the friends watching nearby laugh so hard that they fell backwards.

First, there was the order that Hiruzen gave to Danzo, "From now on, you little brats, don't even think about leaving the village, or you'll be stabbed!" Oh my, this is no joke. The old man was dumbfounded when he heard it, and kept wondering in his heart, what was going on?

Then, Hiruzen said, "From now on, I will assign three teams of Anbu to keep an eye on you. They will write down everything you do, even when you poop or fart." The old man almost fainted when he heard this, thinking that this was bad and he could not even protect his own nest.

Finally, Hiruzen told the old man, "The money you guys have should be enough for food and drink. I'll ask someone else to take care of the affairs of Yugakure. You just take a good rest." After saying this, Hiruzen left, leaving the old man there in a daze.

The old man felt so frustrated. He knew that he had failed this time and would never be able to recover. He thought back to when he was in his prime. He was the boss of the village, and who dared not to obey him? But now, he could only watch his power disappear bit by bit.
