Chapter 156

There is a time limit for using the [Summoning Technique].

Mirai didn't know why.

Orochimaru wasn't here, and no one answered Mirai's questions, so Jiraiya followed him back.

Soon, Mirai and the other two, as well as the bitter-looking Rope Tree, all turned into smoke and disappeared.

When the four opened their eyes again, they had returned to the grove.

"You guys play, I'm going back to find my grandma!" Rope Tree said with a look of disappointment, and walked towards the Senju clan with heavy steps.

Seeing that it was getting late, Kushina also followed Mirai and the others and said, "Then I'll leave first, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!" Minato looked at Kushina with hesitation. In fact, he felt that it was still early and wanted Kushina to stay and play for a while longer.

But he also knew that Kushina could never let go of her grandmother in her heart, and it was good enough that she could take more than an hour to accompany them in training.

Mirai just nodded. He didn't say anything, but was still thinking about the advice given by Orochimaru.

'Put down the sword... huh...'

Distance creates beauty. This sentence applies not only to people, but also to people and things.

There are other places where it is more suitable.

His bond with the sword is very deep. This comes from the Tessaiga in his mind. His obsession with it is only slightly lower than that of his family and Minato.

And his current strength seems to have grown too fast. Sometimes he vaguely feels that he is powerless. It seems that he needs to settle down.

So he didn't plan to train anymore. He stretched out his hand to hook Minato's neck and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to my house for dinner tonight!"

"Uh..." Minato glanced at the sky. It was about six o'clock now. It was indeed time for dinner.

And if I were alone at home, I would always feel lonely.

So I didn't reject Mirai!

"Sorry to bother you then!"

"Ah! There's no need to talk about this between the two of us!"

After saying this, Mirai hugged Minato and went home.

Suddenly, his expression changed, "Fuck!"

He was startled, which scared Minato. He quickly protected Mirai in front of him and asked in doubt: "What happened?"

Could it be that Hyuga's people called us?

Mirai's face suddenly became bitter, and he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's go!"

Why did I forget to ask the teacher what the potion is!

...

In the heart of the Hidden Rain Village in the Land of Rain.

Many people here wear breathing masks, and their clothes are made of waterproof materials.

They surrounded the tallest building in the middle with three layers inside and three layers outside, and there was a hint that Hanzo was afraid of death.

Suddenly, there were several fires around the tower, and then they were drowned in the night.

Soon, someone took off his equipment, pushed open the heavily guarded door, and walked inside.

This was a very dim room, with only a few oil lamps for lighting. Although electricity is now used in the ninja world, many people still like the atmosphere of oil lamps.

Moreover, the Rain Country rains a lot, and laying circuits is very dangerous, so few people use electricity in this country.

The visitor knelt on the ground from a distance, reporting with fanatic eyes: "Chief, someone just wanted to sneak in here to assassinate you, but we solved it!"

"Well, I know!" A person sitting in the room responded lightly.

After speaking, he put down the brush in his hand, looked at the detonating talisman he made, and frowned slightly.

"Still not as good as those who specialize in making detonating talismans!" He sighed.

Detonating talismans are one of the most commonly used explosive attacks by ninjas, and they do not require too much chakra to activate.

Correspondingly, the better the quality of the detonating tag, the more expensive it is. For the current Hidden Rain Village, after such a long battle, the economy is already stretched.

That's why he agreed to Danzo and was ready to let the three young men go.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, he suddenly asked: "Where is Konoha now?"

"Report to the leader, they are still camping at the original location, but according to the investigation of the spies, they seem to be preparing war materials, and they should launch a general attack within the next few days!"

"Is that so, then let them come!"

"Yes, leader!" After the man finished speaking, he retreated respectfully.

Many people in the Rain Country admire Hanzo very much. This is a person who dares to challenge the three major countries for the sake of the country.

Now even if the battle fails, those big countries dare not easily provoke the Rain Country.

In fact, many people suggest that Hanzo call himself "shadow", so that he is really qualified to be on par with the five major hidden villages.Sit down.

But they were all rejected by Hanzo.

Others didn't know, but how could he not know?

In any aspect, the Hidden Rain Village was not as good as one of the five major ninja villages. He was just provoking the three major countries.

Although they would be angry, it was not serious.

But once he really called himself the "shadow", it would affect the cake of the five major hidden villages.

And the bottom line of the daimyo of each country.

There is no daimyo in the Rain Country now. Hanzo is the only one who leads the civil and military affairs of the Rain Country.

He did not follow the system of one shadow proposed by the first generation of wood.

If he really called himself the "shadow", not only would the five major villages fight him, but even the daimyo of the five major countries would completely blockade their Rain Country.

"Alas, the Rain Country is still too weak!" Now that no one was around him, he could finally relax and reveal his deep-hidden fatigue.

He looked at the map on the table, his eyes full of melancholy and bitterness.

The Rain Country is located at the junction of three major countries, namely the Wind Country, the Earth Country and the Fire Country.

In fact, the birth of small countries was deliberately done by the five major countries.

With these small countries as a buffer, even if the five major countries break their dog brains, they will not cause much damage to their native territories.

On the contrary, they will set up their positions in these small countries without any scruples, regardless of their life or death, and let them fight first.

Even in peacetime, these small countries are not easy. Even if there is no real gunfight, there are still invisible political struggles.

The most basic influence of politics is the economy.

Any random move of the five major countries, even just a look, is enough to hurt these small countries.

Moreover, these small countries dare not lean towards any country, let alone be fence-sitters.

They can only try their best to remain neutral, so as not to be hostile to one of the two major countries on the left and right, but they have to be cautious in the middle.

So much so that they all lowered their postures when facing the envoys from the five major countries.

They were afraid that if they offended one of them, they would be remembered by the other party, which would start a vicious cycle.

Force them to completely lean towards another major country.

But the offended major country would never give up. They needed neutrality, or even a small country that was directed to their own. Since it had already leaned towards the hostile forces, they would change someone to be the leader of this small country.

After fighting and killing, political concessions, those people were very happy to use the people of the small country in exchange for rich material rewards.

Hanzo just couldn't stand this, so he resolutely started the dispute of World War II.

He just wanted to tell the five major countries that the Rain Country was not those small ninja villages that could be bullied at will.

"Alas, Konoha, Iwagakure, Sand Village..."

Other small countries bordered two major countries at most, but the Rain Country bordered three major countries and three small countries directly.

No one here wants to be a daimyo.

It was really that the daimyo of previous generations were played to death by these three countries.

That's why he could easily seize the civil rights in his own hands.

After thinking about this, he sighed again and turned to the window.

The windows of the Rain Country are either fully closed or have rain-proof frames above the windows.

He has fully closed glass windows here.

Through the window, he looked at the dark sky outside.

This is a country that cries all year round.

There are very few people who can see the sun all year round, just like he also knows the sadness of the Rain Country.

"After all, there is still a lot of difference!" This battle made him see a lot of things clearly.

Especially the strength and foundation of the five major countries. He was fighting on his own land, but was crushed by the people of these three major countries one by one.

Facing the Sand Village, his poison didn't have much effect. Facing the Earth Village, although he could still release poison, one poison would affect a large area, but those ninjas who mastered the Explosion Style could easily drop explosives on them from the air.

There were also tailed beasts. Facing them, he had no advantage at all. At most, he could barely resist them with the help of the terrain.

The most important thing was that they didn't attack him with all their strength, and they also divided their troops into three battles.

It was like fighting him was just a byproduct.

Originally, he wanted to use the carelessness and arrogance of the three young men from Konoha to lure them into the heart of the Rain Country, so as to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Then he simply surrendered. As long as he was still alive, the Fire Country would never really touch the Rain Country.

At most, he could threaten to join other forces. Konoha would never dare to force him too much, and he could also rely on this battle to establish the international status of the Rain Country.

But since Danzo asked him to let those three people go, and promised to help them repel the Earth Village, and leave the supplies to him.There was no harm in doing this, so he had no reason to refuse!
