Chapter 149: The Name of 3 Ninjas (End)

At this time, the three of them supported each other and gasped for air. Although they had the help of the slugs summoned by Tsunade, they still had to consume some chakra to cover their bodies and resist the invasion of Hanzo's poison gas at all times. In addition, the summoning technique just now also consumed a lot of chakra, so the three of them had very little chakra left.

Before the battle, the three of them were so confident that they could even defeat Salamander Hanzo by joining forces. At the very least, it should be a 50-50 situation. However, they did not expect that the facts gave the three of them a hard slap in the face.

After getting severely beaten by Hanzo, the three of them had no choice but to face the reality. At this stage, they have not yet grown to their peak and are far from being Hanzo's opponent. With just the strength of Kage, the gap between them and Hanzo is simply unimaginable.

On the battlefield, Konoha's ninjas were almost wiped out by the numerous Amegakure ninjas, and the few remaining ninjas were breathing more often than they were exhaling.

However, Konoha is worthy of being the leader of the current ninja world. When they realized there was no hope of escape, the ninjas of Konoha began to fight desperately. Every Konoha ninja could basically take the lives of at least five Amegakure ninjas before death.

In the end, although the ambush of Yuyin achieved brilliant results and was barely successful, it could only be said to be a tragic victory. The Yuyin ninja troops were also crippled by the dying counterattack of the Konoha ninjas, and more than half of the elite ninjas were killed. They no longer had enough capital to continue to participate in the next Ninja World War.

Hanzo stood on top of the Sanshoyu Ibuki, looking down at Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were already at the end of their strength. He was constantly hesitating and weighing the pros and cons. Although the established strategic goal was achieved and the war with Konoha was won, with the three-front war, Konoha suffered such a huge loss in the Land of Rain. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take revenge, the other high-ranking officials of Konoha Village and the ninja families would probably not support him to continue fighting with the Hidden Rain Village. After all, there would be no benefit even if he continued to fight and won.

However, the Hidden Rain Village could no longer fight. Most of its elite ninjas were lost, and the consumption of supplies was too much for Hanzo to bear. The Rain Country was also riddled with holes in the war and on the verge of collapse. If the fighting continued, the Hidden Rain Village would probably have no future.

Hanzo's eyes kept changing, and he finally made up his mind to let go of the three disciples of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Ordinary Konoha ninjas would die, but if he killed all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen might go crazy and drag Konoha to fight against Yugakure to avenge his disciples.

So, Hanzo said calmly to the three people below, "The war is over! You three are very strong. You can fight me to this extent and survive. I will spare your lives!"

Jiraiya was immediately furious when he heard this. He felt that Hanzo was mocking them, so he said stubbornly, "We don't need you to sympathize with us! We can still continue to fight!!!"

Orochimaru's face also looked ugly, but he didn't say anything. It's just that he never thought that one day he would have to rely on the charity of his enemies to survive.

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade spoke up to stop Jiraiya from talking nonsense. What if Hanzo changed his mind and didn't want to let them go? Didn't they see Orochimaru standing beside them without saying a word?

"Then, from now on, I, Hanzo, will give you the title of 'Konoha Sannin'. You can call yourselves 'Sannin' from now on. This is what you have earned at the cost of your lives!" Hanzo's tone was full of appreciation. As a "demigod", he recognized the strength of the three. At the same time, he also had his own thoughts. He also helped the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen to become famous in the ninja world. He hoped that Sarutobi Hiruzen could give some help and send people to negotiate and sign the armistice agreement so that Yugakure could get out of the quagmire of war.

Yes, Hanzo no longer has enough capital to continue fighting. In this Ninja World War that he started, he is ready to pack up and be the first to withdraw.

Hanzo took the Rain Ninjas away, leaving behind only corpses on the ground and the freshly minted "Three Ninjas of Konoha" who could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

"Ah...!" Jiraiya sighed deeply and pursed his lips tightly, "I really didn't expect this result!" There was an indescribable decadence in his tone. The blow he suffered this time was too great, and his spiritual heart almost collapsed. The surprise attack force he led was ambushed and wiped out, and the three of them were beaten up by Hanzo.

"Hanzo is already very old, but we are still young..." Orochimaru couldn't bear to see his good friend getting stuck in such a dead end, so he comforted him with words.

Tsunade nodded and spoke as well, she had already sorted herself out, "The future is ours!"

.........

The war between Konoha Village and Hidden Rain Village is over!

Konoha suffered heavy losses. Of the 1,500 elite ninjas, only eight returned to the village. Except for the "Three Ninjas of Konoha", the other five merely survived. Although Tsunade's treatment brought them back from the brink of death, they also lost their qualifications to continue to be a ninja.

Konoha's reaction was just as Hanzo expected. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen weighed the pros and cons and was forced to end the war with the Hidden Rain Village. However, in the end, Hanzo admitted that Konoha had won the war, but in exchange, he got a lot of resources and money from Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was pretending to be rich, which could be used to quickly restore the Hidden Rain Village and the Land of Rain after the war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a lot of grievances but he certainly didn't want this to happen. Being in his prime and full of ambition, he certainly wanted to continue fighting with the Hidden Rain Village, but no one supported him. Even his friends and his own Sarutobi clan didn't want to continue fighting with Hanzo. The war on three fronts put Konoha under great pressure, and the various ninja clans were also afraid of losing another batch of elite ninjas.

However, although he lost so many elite ninjas, fortunately, the three disciples he favored were not in any danger, and they even gained a certain "fame" in the ninja world in disguise. In addition, there were basically few ninjas from his Sarutobi clan among these ninjas, so his influence in the village was not greatly affected.

Under pressure from other major ninja clans in the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally had no choice but to agree to Hanzo's ceasefire conditions. Although Konoha became the "winner" on the surface, it was also severely exploited by Hanzo at the same time.
