Chapter 122: MSIN: Chapter 121
---
Throughout the subsequent mission, whether before or after encountering Amegakure ninjas, Shimura Danzo didn't make any further moves.
After all, they were all on the same side. Don't always be scheming and trying to hurt each other.
They traveled quickly, and Amegakure was already in sight.
Looking down at the shape of the Land of Rain's border, it looked like a stomach and a kidney, capable of both digestion and detoxification. In short, it seemed to have many functions.
And the location of Amegakure Village was roughly in the center of the Land of Rain.
Team Konoha was still quite cautious. After all, if you're talking about strong individuals, there were some here. The one they were most wary of was Hanzo of the Salamander himself.
Then there was Nagato Uzumaki, whom only Haori knew about. And further down the line, Sasori was probably hiding in this country too. It was theoretically possible to run into him again by pure luck.
The Amegakure ninja who was leading the way didn't make any detours. He directly led the Konoha group along the usual route to Amegakure Village.
There was no real point in taking a detour. Even if Amegakure was very concerned about secrecy, they couldn't hide the entire village. Even if Konoha's intelligence department only had three Genin, they should be able to figure out the strategic intelligence of the "village-level target" location.
When Amegakure Village first appeared in Haori's eyes… let's just say, the village's architectural style was very recognizable.
It looked tall and slender.
The exterior walls of the buildings were made of tubes, giving off a metallic feel, covered in a rusty color.
And many of the buildings' foundations were directly built on water, making it look like a floating city.
Could you run into Mizu no Jōrōri in this village?
If Haori had to describe it, Amegakure Village was like chopsticks standing vertically in a bowl.
This style was obviously not due to culinary factors, but rather the architectural adaptation to the weather… Because it rains all the time here, these chopsticks probably drain water more easily.
The others didn't have Haori's kind of mindset to appreciate how people built their houses.
Danzo's group didn't care, while the other three members of Team Haori were overly nervous.
After all, this was the enemy's base, and Amegakure itself had always been quite mysterious.
After all, Amegakure Village had always been implementing a closed-door policy. Even when their leader, Hanzo, was killed, there was no news for a long time. This shows how tightly sealed it was.
At the entrance to the village, the Amegakure ninja who was leading the way made a simple handover, and without any obstacles, the seven of them walked into the village.
Hanzo was still quite practical. He didn't do any frisking or inspections… After all, if someone touched Danzo, what if he acted like a virtuous woman, first biting his handkerchief and screaming, then exploding?
Little punks would only be beaten to death by him.
In reality, the other party didn't take the team to the center of the village either… Normally, considering that Hanzo, as the leader, should be in the tallest building in the center of the village, but now, Team Konoha was led into a building of ordinary height as soon as they entered the village.
This made Haori a little concerned. Could it be that there's a ton of C4 buried under the foundation?
He was obviously overthinking again. He wasn't nervous when he should be, and he was always overthinking when he shouldn't. If Amegakure wanted to attack, why would they let them enter the village?
Hanzo was inside the building.
At this time, Haori had to stand back. Danzo came out to negotiate.
"Shimura Danzo? Didn't the Third Hokage come?"
There was no doubt that this ninja with a gas mask and a raspy voice was Hanzo. And he only had about ten ninjas with him, which ensured relative fairness during the meeting.
If he had brought too many ninjas, it would have been a show of force. But doing this at his own doorstep would have been so petty.
But Hanzo was really daring to think. The Third Hokage's status wasn't equal to his. How could he possibly come to Amegakure in person? Does he think he's the Hokage?
Besides, even if their status was equal, the Hokage couldn't come here. The danger was one thing, but now it was Amegakure surrendering to Konoha, not the other way around. Not making Hanzo go to Konoha was already respectful enough of his homebody habit of not moving. Do you want the Hokage to come over?
Hehe.
Danzo was enough for him to play with. The Third Hokage was a married man.
"I am Konoha's plenipotentiary. I have been authorized by the Hokage." Danzo's expression didn't change at all. He simply refuted Hanzo with this fact.
As for what he was thinking in his heart, who knows.
But no matter what, whether internally or externally, the Hokage is still the most powerful voice in Konoha.
Hanzo didn't dwell on this issue. He was just saying it casually. He didn't expect the Hokage to come from Konoha… Let's not talk about the size of his brain capacity. At least he has a brain.
Next, he spoke directly.
"Plenipotentiary… I'm going to surrender to Konoha and end this war."
Danzo didn't respond directly. He knew the other party hadn't finished speaking.
"But there's one condition. After peace is achieved, I hope to receive Konoha's help when necessary."
"Peace… we certainly welcome it. But Amegakure now… not to mention the strategic goals of this war, in fact, you can't hold on any longer. If that's the case, do you still have the right to make demands?"
As the losing side, it should be Konoha who makes demands on them, not the other way around, like Sunagakure before.
But the Land of Wind is a major country after all. And Amegakure, after fighting until now, has actually been squeezed dry.
Haori's eyes, hidden under his mask, glanced towards Danzo. This guy was a bit rude, wasn't he?
Although he was telling the truth, shouldn't he consider whether this kind of attitude would affect the negotiations?
"So, are the negotiations off?" Hanzo's attitude changed slightly.
There was a key problem. Comrade Hanzo didn't seem to be very good at bargaining?
Couldn't he hear that Danzo was testing him? This kind of negotiation should have been a back-and-forth, right?
As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, everyone in Konoha immediately tensed up.
Before his voice stopped, one of the ninjas next to him, as if he had received an order, charged out like an arrow leaving a bow.
The target of the attack was naturally Team Konoha.
Attack without a word?
"Boom!"
However, the enemy's path was blocked, by something black and round.
Haori, holding the mouth of the gourd in one hand, swung it like a giant baseball bat, smashing it hard against the enemy's path.
He smashed it right against the enemy's nose!
Normally, this would probably blow the other party's head off. But Haori didn't do that.
The imagined continuous attack didn't happen.
Danzo, as if he didn't see the conflict, continued, "So, what is your so-called condition?"
"Because of the years of war, a rebel organization has arisen in the Land of Rain that is beyond my control. And it's developing very quickly… I hope to completely and thoroughly eliminate them. But with Amegakure's current power, I'm afraid it's difficult to completely eradicate them. So, I hope to get Konoha's help when necessary."
Haori's eyebrows twitched. He heard Hanzo's words clearly.
