Chapter 190: #190 - Threatening Konoha

Shimizu's performance was astonishing, and Yekura was not bad either, able to kill the ninja maintaining the barrier in such a short time.

But Yekura's performance was within expectations, but you, Shimizu, a puppeteer, how can you have such strong swordsmanship?

You call that a puppeteer?

"This time, I failed to do a good screening."

Hanzo looked at Yekura, and then at Shimizu.

"I am not good at Wind Release and Fire Release, only my swordsmanship and Water Release are passable. Jonin Shimizu, you have a high level of attainment in swordsmanship. This scroll records my life's experience in swordsmanship, and I can give you a copy, which may give you some inspiration."

"In addition, I will pay you two an extra ten million taels, but Yuyin Village is currently financially strapped and can only pay half first."

Yuyin Village was already poor, and it had spent most of its wealth in the Second Ninja World War. Even a mere three million taels is not something that can be taken out easily.

Shimizu took the scroll from Hanzo's hand, and then exchanged glances with Yekura.

Hanzo said without hesitation: "Of course!"

The people from Konoha have already been lurking so deep in Yuyin Village, what are they trying to do?

Hanzo is a hero who appears once every hundred years in the Land of Rain, how could he tolerate such a thing?

The Third Kazekage looked at Shimizu, and his expression finally improved a little.

Shimizu's approach was correct.

At this time, one should not be greedy, but should try to win over Hanzo as much as possible. Only by joining forces to put pressure on Konoha can the benefits be maximized.

Once the two sides become estranged, the alliance between the two sides may not be so close.

Capable, mindful of the big picture, not only becoming a Jonin at a young age, but also having swordsmanship that amazes him even as an outstanding puppeteer.

Shimizu's approach made the Third Kazekage very satisfied, and then the Third Kazekage glanced at Rasa.

Rasa's actions just now cannot be said to be wrong, because the real cause is that Yuyin Village has been infiltrated by Konoha, and Rasa cannot control the people of Yuyin Village.

But no matter what, Rasa, as the deputy minister of the Anbu and the person in charge of security for this incident, must be responsible for the assassination of an important figure in Sunagakure, who almost lost his life.

Rasa's real mistake was his lack of ability to investigate Konoha's conspiracy early, and he only arrived late after the assassination ended.

The Third Kazekage sighed in his heart.

He still hasn't really grown up… Rasa.

Rasa is now eighteen or nineteen years old, and his strength is not bad, and it is not impossible to continue to improve, but compared to the Third Kazekage himself at the same age, he is three points short.

After the death of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, Rasa has always been cultivated by the Third Kazekage as a successor.

As his disciple, Rasa inherited Magnet Release, and with the support of the close and powerful Karura, he can also secure the position of Kage.

But that was before.

From the current point of view, Rasa's strength and skills can only be considered qualified. It is okay to be a conservative leader, but if you want Sunagakure to continue to develop and become stronger, I am afraid it is a bit lacking.

In terms of potential and intelligence, Shimizu is undoubtedly more promising than Rasa.

Rasa has Karura as an assistant, Shimizu also has a close relationship with Yekura, Rasa has the Third Kazekage as a teacher, and Shimizu also has Chiyo and Ebizo, two powerful elders, as teachers.

Magnet Release is the brand that the Third Kazekage created for Sunagakure, and Puppet Technique was also invented by the Second Kazekage.

From this point of view, the legitimacy of the two is not bad, and the power behind them is enough to allow them to secure the position of Kage.

The Third Kazekage is worried about what will happen when Shimizu grows up in the future and fights with Rasa for the position of Kazekage?

What if the struggle between the two factions goes too far and causes a split within Sunagakure?

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, the Third Kazekage can only be glad that he is not very old and can still work for a few more years.

As for the future, it depends on whether Rasa can still improve, or whether Shimizu can surpass Rasa after he grows up. With him around, he should be able to steadily ensure the issue of Sunagakure's successor in the future.

If this trouble were known to Hanzo of the Salamander, or Onoki of the Two Scales, who is also facing the problem of having no successor, they would probably be envious to death.

The Second Ninja World War had just ended, and the mobilization capabilities of both Sunagakure and Yuyin Village were still maintained at a very high level.

The day after the incident, the two villages sent envoys, bringing sternly worded condemnations.

Chiyo and Ebizo heard that their precious disciple was almost assassinated by Konoha, and immediately risked their lives to make Konoha pay the price.

No mistake, first look at the first launch and the content inside!

After the Third Kazekage returned to the village to take charge, the old man and the old woman gathered their troops and led thousands of Sunagakure ninjas to set off and kill to the Land of Rivers, which serves as a buffer zone between the Wind and Fire countries.

Hanzo also pieced together a team of two thousand people from his remaining subordinates and approached the border of the Land of Fire.

Inside Konoha Village, the Hokage's office was filled with clouds.

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Ninja Hero, was frowning and puffing on his pipe.

This time, he felt a little棘手.

"Danzo, did you send the people who assassinated the Sunagakure ninjas?"

Homura Mitokado looked at Danzo in front of him and questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I did this all for Konoha!"

Danzo took out a scroll from his wide sleeves and threw it out.

"Look at the information on Shimizu and Yekura. One became a Jonin at the age of thirteen, and the other became a Jonin at the age of fourteen. If these two grow up, they will definitely be great enemies of Konoha!"

"Especially this Shimizu, the overall planning for the construction of the canal in Sunagakure all came from this person. The existence of this river will inevitably increase the national strength of the Land of Wind!"

"Sunagakure's current strength can already threaten Konoha's position. If two more serious problems arise, what will the village use to resist Sunagakure at that time? At that time, the position of the ninja world's overlord will no longer belong to Konoha!"

"You, monkey, will also become the most failed Hokage in the history of the village!"

Danzo slammed the table and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The sound of the scroll turning sounded. Hiruzen Sarutobi finished reading the information on the scroll while Danzo was speaking, and then handed it to Koharu Utatane beside him.

A few minutes later, the other two Konoha elders also finished reading the contents of the scroll.
