As Masanari said, Ame and Iwa continued to fight against each other, and the normal trade between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth was severely disrupted, which eventually led to the closure of a large number of factories in the Land of Rain, and the unemployment rate in the country soared. As a result, Ame's conflict with the daimyo of the Land of Rain intensified, and military expenditure was cut.
This is the beginning of the decline of Ame Village.
He has now understood that if the Land of Rain wants to restore its former prosperity, it is very important to maintain a friendly relationship with the Land of Earth. Otherwise, once a large number of domestic factories lose the supply of raw materials from the Land of Earth, the domestic economy will inevitably suffer. Hit hard.
He didn't expect that even the economy of the Land of Rain was controlled by others.
At this time, Hanzo doubted whether he was qualified to continue to be the leader of Ame, or whether it was really good for him to continue to be the leader of Ame.
With his current ability, he doesn't seem to be suitable to be a leader who can lead the Kingdom of Rain to prosperity.
"Masanari, how did you think of these things?"
Hanzo looked up at Kirito and asked suspiciously.
The Hattori Masanari he knew was actually just as educated as he was, and he had never read any books. It was impossible for him to see clearly the current crisis facing the Kingdom of Rain and what he said just now made him feel very meaningful after hearing it.
Deep words of Reason.
"It's nothing. It's just that after leaving the Land of Rain, I wandered around outside and saw a lot of new things. I also read a little when I was free. It can be regarded as a little knowledge."
When Kirito heard the words, his face suddenly showed a sigh of emotion.
Then, his face straightened, and he said to Hanzo seriously:
"Hanzo, in this world, not only our Rain Country is oppressed by other big countries, but also many small countries. The lives of the people there are even worse than those in the Rain Country. If the Rain Country hadn't produced you, the Demi go*, the Kingdom of Rain must have been carved up by the three surrounding big countries long ago."
"I came here this time to save the Land of Rain from this kind of disaster. Otherwise, when you, Hanzo, get old or pass away, the Land of Rain will only be worse than it is now. Let us build the Land of Rain together. You are stronger than before, I need your strength," Masanari stated firmly.
After speaking, he stretched out a hand to Hanzo.
Seeing this, Hanzo didn't hesitate and immediately stretched out his hand to hold Masanari's hand, with an excited expression on his face. "Okay, let's build the Kingdom of Rain even stronger than before, Masanari. Come back and help me, Ame Village needs a wise man with insight like you."
That's right, the Land of Rain cannot become worse than it is now.
His dream from beginning to end is to make the Land of Rain the sixth largest country in the ninja world. If he is unable to realize this dream, then leave it to future generations.
However, before that, he had to leave a better Rain Country to future generations than it is now.
"He really believed my words, but I'm sorry, it's impossible to do it with the strength of the two of us alone," Masanari thought to himself as he looked at the excited Hanzo in front of him, feeling the pain and warmth from his right hand.
What he said just now was actually just rhetoric to make Hanzo not doubt his actions and identity. He didn't expect Hanzo to take it seriously.
After all, the Land of Rain is adjacent to the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind, so it is naturally a buffer zone for the three great powers.
And once war broke out in two of the three big countries, in order to prevent the war from spreading to the mainland, the Land of Rain would inevitably be regarded as a battlefield between the two countries.
With such a hostile international environment, it is conceivable how difficult it is for the Land of Rain to develop, it is simply a nightmare.
And whether it is the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, or the Land of Earth, they will not sit idly by and let the Land of Rain develop and grow. Letting the Land of Rain without any resistance become their battlefield buffer zone is the most ideal choice for these big countries.
In fact, if the demigod Hanzo hadn't been born out of nowhere and used his powerful strength to let Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure know that Ame is not easy to mess with, and dare not easily take the Land of Rain as their battlefield, the Land of Rain might have become like this earlier, and it might have even been divided up by the three major powers earlier and become a puppet country.
Masanari is now in a difficult situation, if he does not agree to Hanzo's request now, Hanzo will probably turn against him immediately.
However, this is in line with his previous plan to use Hattori Masanari's vest to become Ame's high-level development direction.
So, he immediately put himself into the identity of Ame's senior management and said coldly, "No problem, I will go back with you this time, but before I go back, I think it is necessary for Ame Village to complete a purification, Hanzo. What do you think?"
"It is good," Hanzo replied after a moment of silence, with an expression of uncertainty flashing across his face. But he finally put on a determined expression and spoke with determination.
If the Land of Rain wants to usher in a new life, it must start with Ame Village ushering in a new life.
"Hanzo, I did not misread you. You are a man worthy of my support. Our village is like a sieve now. There are too many spies from Ninja Village, and many of them steal high positions. If you don't make up your mind to get rid of these spies quickly, our Ame Village and the Land of Rain will have no future."
Kirito praised Hanzo when he saw that Hanzo had made up his mind to clean up Ame Village.
The Ame high-ranking officer he wants to be is not a polished commander.
He really intends to develop a group of people who are loyal to him in Ame Village.
But before that, he needs to clean up the interior of Ame Village.
After all, one radish and one hole, without a big cleanup, how can we better let him take office so that he can put his own people in those important positions in Ame Village in the future
And now, inside Ame Village is still Hanzo's iron-locked court.
If he wants to break this deadlock, he needs Hanzo to clean up Ame Village himself.
Only by letting Hanzo personally attack his people, the people in Ame Village will be alienated from Hanzo, and it will be convenient for him to absorb those who are dissatisfied with Hanzo in the future.
At this time, Hanzo is imagining that he will work together with Kirito to make the Land of Rain better than it is now, but he doesn't know that Kirito is digging holes for him.
"Masanari, Ame has just stabilized now. If we start a round of cleansing immediately, there will be chaos. Moreover, you are clear about Ame's torture techniques. We lack ninjutsu and proficient torture techniques in this area." After Hanzo agreed to Kirito's request, he added with some embarrassment.
Although he was determined to cleanse Ame, the reality still troubled him.
After all, the background of Ame Village is not as good as Konoha and other great ninja villages. Apart from the one-handed water escape ninjutsu, Ame Village really doesn't have many powerful ninjutsu that can be used.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you." Kirito smiled mysteriously.
The next moment, he took out a sealing scroll from his body, used the sealing technique of release to take out another scroll inside, and handed it to Hanzo.
Hanzo was not suspicious of a trap; he immediately took the scroll, opened it, and a shocked expression appeared on his face: "Masanari, is your information true?"
The content in this scroll is actually secret information about Suna border, including various strategic arrangements on the battlefield between Suna and Konoha, such as the location of weapon depots, granaries, and field hospitals.
If the information is true, once Konoha obtains this information, it will inflict a huge blow on Suna Yasha, forcing Suna Yasha to have to make various strategic arrangements again.
"Of course it's true. I paid a lot of money to hire a ninja who is proficient in torture ninjutsu to get it from those two sand-hidden elite puppet masters." Kirito said with a little regret.
What he said was half-truth and half-false. The brains of Chisha and Shalan were indeed protected by a strong sealing technique, but his spiritualization technique did not need to read their brains to obtain information at all, but directly affected them. On the souls of the two, the memories of the two are obtained by reading the souls.
"It's great to be able to obtain this information, Masanari, are you planning to hand it over to Konoha?"
Hanzo said excitedly, his face was full of joy at this time, and his eyes showed anticipation.
"That's right, I plan to contact Konoha in private, and use it to exchange for a copy of the inheritance of torture ninjutsu from Konoha."
Kirito made an affirmative answer.
However, he will give Konoha more detailed information than the content in the scroll, so that he can justifiably bring the information back to Konoha, relieve Konoha's pressure from Suna, and benefit himself from it. seek sufficient benefits.
"Perhaps it can be exchanged for more things. I accidentally got a secret message that Konoha is now passing on the inheritance and handover of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I received news from the border, and both Iwa and Kumo suddenly reacted. The news that a large number of ninjas were sent to gather at the border of the Land of Fire should be true. if you hand over this information to Konoha at this time, you will get an unimaginably rich reward."
Hanzo thought for a while and made a reminder.
After the Ame village led by him fought against Konoha, he deeply understood how powerful this ninja village founded by the god of ninjas was.
At the same time, they fought with Ame and Suna and were able to drag until Ame couldn't support it and had to surrender.
At this, you can see how deep Konoha village foundation is.
Today, Konoha is passing on the inheritance and handover of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and will face tremendous pressure from the three major ninja villages. If Konoha can rely on this information to severely injure Sunagakure, it will definitely greatly relieve the pressure from the outside world.
"Hanzo, although your words are correct, this is obviously taking advantage of Konoha's fire. Of course, we can get rich returns in a short period of time, but do you think Konoha will be grateful to us? Of course not, Konoha will only hate us even more.
Didn't you just promise me to build a Kingdom of Rain stronger than before? You forgot it so quickly. Do you think it's better for the Kingdom of Rain to be friendly with the Kingdom of Fire, or to offend the Kingdom of Fire?? "
Kirito was reminded by Hanzo, his expression turned cold instantly, and he said coldly.
Seeing that Kirito was suddenly angry with him, Hanzog couldn't help being a little surprised, but after hearing Kirito's words, he suddenly realized, and blamed himself: "You are right, I am too short-sighted, if the Kingdom of Rain can use this, The Nation of Fire's friendship is indeed better than a mere reward."
Afterward, he continued: "It should not be too late, let's contact Konoha as soon as possible, and send this information out, Suna must also be afraid that Konoha will get this information, maybe they have already started to adjust the strategic layout, time The longer it is delayed, the value of this information will only decrease."
"You're right. This matter really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, but I will discuss this matter with Konoha in person. Hanzo, it's not that I can't trust you, it's that I really can't trust the people around you. The value of this information will be greatly reduced, and I may face greater danger than meeting those two elite puppet masters."
Kirito nodded and said with a serious expression.
Hearing the words, Hanzo showed a trace of sadness on his face, and sighed: "I understand, then I'll leave this to you, if you want to contact Konoha, you can find a guy named Jiraiya, he is the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple is now in the Land of Rain."
"Jiraiya, I've heard of him. He is one of the people you gave the name of Sannin. Tell me seriously what kind of person he is?"
