Chapter 116 Kumokawa: Long time no see, Master Musashi, are you still alive? (Please vote for me!!)

The capital of the Kingdom of Rain, within the Rain Hidden Village.

Dragging the corpse-like "Sand Ninja" in his hand, Hanzo strode towards the capital gate with a cold expression.

Behind him were two teams of heavily armed Rain Ninjas on both sides, dressed in purple combat uniforms and wearing special masks on their faces. Their eyes were filled with irrepressible anger.

Everywhere that was supposed to be lively and noisy turned into dead silence after seeing the scene in front of me.

A sense of uneasiness and fear about an approaching storm instantly filled everyone's hearts.

Until Hanzo, the leader, was about to step out of the city gate. Seeing their menacing appearance, the several rain ninjas guarding the gate looked at each other and whispered: "What should I do? Hanzo wants to take so many people out..."

Thinking of the serious orders from Master Musashi, the real leader of Amegakure Village, the few of them could only bite the bullet and walk straight ahead.

"Hanzo-sama!"

Two rain ninjas blocked Hanzo's path and asked respectfully but forcefully: "Master Musashi has an order to mobilize more than two teams. You must state your intention to leave and submit an application."

"You must produce a transfer order before we can let you leave the city, otherwise...

Hanzo didn't speak expressionlessly, but looked at the two of them with cold eyes.

When they met those cold, pale golden eyes, the two rain ninjas shivered for no reason, and lowered their raised arms involuntarily.

"Ten seconds." Hanzo said in a low voice.

"What?" The two rain ninjas were stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning.

"I mean……"

Hanzo raised his eyes slightly, looked at the two men and said coldly: "Within ten seconds, open the city gate, then take your people and get out of my sight!"

As soon as these words came out, the two rain ninjas felt like prey being stared at by terrifying beasts in the forest. The pressure they had never experienced on anyone before made their bodies tremble.

"Han, Hanzo-sama."

A rain ninja wiped his face from the rain or the cold sweat shed due to fear and panic, and said with a sad face: "It really can't be done. Master Musashi gave a death order, we can't..."

Lord Musashi! Lord Musashi! It's Lord Musashi again!

"Then do you think your Lord Musashi can protect you?"

Hanzo's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he tightened his grip on Suokama.

But at the next moment, an old voice came from behind him.

"That's enough, Hanzo!" the old man said with a slightly helpless tone, "Don't embarrass them anymore, they are just following orders!"

Hearing this, looking at the rain ninja who was sweating in front of him, Hanzo let go of the handle of the knife with a cold snort, and immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Looking around, there were all ninjas wearing Yuyin Village battle uniforms, crowding the entire street.

And an old man with a stooped back walked out of the crowd and slowly stood in front of Hanzo with stumbling steps.

Both of them were followed by many rain ninjas, but one was an old man who was as old as the sunset, and the other was a young man who was as bright as the noon sun.

"Hanzo, do we have to go to this point?"

Musashi sighed and said feebly: "Believe me, I have found a way to break the situation."

The old man's old and decayed appearance made people subconsciously ignore the sword at his waist, and the young rain ninjas behind Hanzo couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts.

But when Hanzo looked at the old man, there was no contempt on his face. He just said calmly: "Teacher Musashi, you taught me a lot before, so I still call you teacher respectfully."

"However, you can no longer keep up with the changes in the ninja world, so why not let me lead the Kingdom of Rain to move forward!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many Rain ninjas standing behind Musashi changed as they looked at the man in front of them who had made no secret of his ambition.

"Presumptuous!" Yoshitaka stood up directly next to Musashi, glared at Hanzo and asked sternly, "Hanzo! Do you know who you are talking to?!"

"Of course I know." Facing Yoshitaka's question, Hanzo's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "I admire Mr. Musashi for saving the Land of Rain from the cracks of the great powers at the most critical moment."

"However, just as the samurai gradually declined, the era that once belonged to the 'Sword Master' and belonged to you has ended. Next, it is the era that belongs to ninjas, belongs to us, and belongs to me!"

Hanzo's eyes were full of pride, and his body was full of heroic aura, attracting countless admiring looks behind him.

"As for you, Yilong, a man like you."

Hanzo looked at the livid face of Yoshitaka and said sincerely: "I invited you a long time ago, hoping that you can join us and devote your life to the future of the Land of Rain, instead of continuing to stay in the city until Death of old age.”

"..."

The angry expression on Yilong's face froze, he opened his mouth and finally fell silent.

Faced with Hanzo's sincere invitation, he admitted that he was indeed touched in his heart.

If it weren't for Lord Musashi's kindness to him, he would have accepted Hanzo's invitation without hesitation.

Musashi was obviously aware of this. Looking at the people behind him with different expressions, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The current form is actually very clear.

The people standing behind him were all middle-aged and elderly people.

I am grateful for his contribution to the Kingdom of Rain, but at the same time I don't want to be treated as cannon fodder and sent to death, so I choose to stand behind him.

But there are hot-blooded and ambitious young adults, the elite of Yuyin Village, on Hanzo's side.

Hanzo had only threatened him but not killed him. In addition to being afraid of his contribution and reputation, he also did not want to bleed and die due to civil strife, and hoped to become the leader legitimately.

Even Musashi had to admit that Hanzo already had the courage of a leader.

but……

"You are right, we cannot let Sunagakure slaughter us." Musashi glanced at Hanzo and the people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "But it is impossible for us alone to confront the big powers head-on!"

As soon as these words came out, Hanzo frowned and did not refute. When the people behind Musashi saw this, they shouted: "That's right! You are talking about leading the Kingdom of Rain to defeat the five major countries! You will only drag the Kingdom of Rain into a war. middle!"

"Are we just going to watch them kill at will?"

"It's better than standing directly against a big country!"

"How do you know you can't beat them if you don't try?"

"Do you want everyone to die with you?"

Just as the two parties were arguing about it, an old but unignorable voice came.

"So, I found another way out!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the old man and saw him taking out a letter from his arms.

"Since we can't fight against the Great Country Ninja Village, let's ask for help from another Great Country Ninja Village."

Musashi spoke very slowly, raised the letter and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I went to ask His Highness the Daimyo to help me contact the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country has agreed to me."

"He is sympathetic to our situation. If we can hand over all combat readiness resources to them and assist Konoha to repel Sunagakure's invading force..."

"He is willing to order Konoha to provide us with shelter and promise not to set foot on the border of Rain Country again!"

Hearing Musashi say that all combat readiness resources would be handed over to Konoha, whether it was the people behind him or the people behind Hanzo, they couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to question or refute.

However, upon hearing that Konoha would provide shelter and would never set foot on the border again, they all fell silent.

That's right.

Konoha was the party invaded by Sunagakure, and everything was just a forced counterattack. Raingakure didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them.

If we can really assist Konoha and repel Sunagakure with all their strength, maybe peace can really come.

But, is it really possible?

"..."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Hanzo gradually frowned, feeling an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.

But just when he was about to explode, a burst of applause suddenly came from the dead silence.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The applause was high and crisp, and one could even hear the joy.

Hanzo and the others looked up following the sound, only to see a figure appearing on the tower next to them.

"It's really wonderful."

Yun Chuan slowly walked out of the shadows, lowered his applauding hands, pressed them gently on the guardrail, and looked down at everyone from a high position.

"Long time no see, Master Musashi, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my deceased father."

Looking at the astonished old man, Yun Chuan waved to him gently, as if seeing an old friend.

"However, I haven't seen you for so long, and you really haven't changed at all." He said with a smile on his face and a gentle tone, "You are ready to be killed, you are killed at the neck, you are on your knees, you are begging for mercy, but you are still able to be killed by this." Zhang Laozui said it so grandly."

"When I see you, I will think of my idiot father who was deceived by you and died miserably."

"In comparison, at your age, you are not yet dead?"
