"Hanzo, I was right about you. You are a man worthy of my support. Our village is like a sieve right now, with too many spies from the other ninja villages, and many of them have even stolen high positions. If we don't make up our minds to get rid of these spies quickly, there will be no future for Amegakure or the Land of Rain."
Kirito praised Hanzo after seeing his determination to carry out a major purge of Amegakure.
The high-ranking position in Amegakure that he wants is not a command without subordinates. He really plans to develop a group of people loyal to himself within Amegakure.
And before that, he needs to carry out a major purge within Amegakure.
After all, there is only one position for one person. Without a major purge, how can he better take office immediately and facilitate his placement of people in those important positions in Amegakure in the future?
Moreover, Hanzo still has the final say within Amegakure.
If he wants to break this deadlock, he also needs Hanzo to personally take action and carry out a wave of purges in Amegakure.
Only by getting Hanzo to personally take action against his own people will the people of Amegakure turn their backs on him, making it easier for him to absorb those who are dissatisfied with Hanzo in the future.
At this time, Hanzo is imagining working together with Kirito in the future to make the Land of Rain a better place than it is now, unaware that Kirito is digging a pit for him.
"Masanari, Amegakure has only just stabilized. If we start a purge right away, there will be chaos. And you know Amegakure's interrogation techniques well. We lack the ninja skills and expertise in interrogation."
Hanzo said with some difficulty after agreeing to Kirito's request.
Although he was determined to purge Amegakure, practical problems still troubled him.
After all, the Amegakure Village could never compare to a large ninja village like Konoha. Apart from the Water Release jutsu, there were really not many powerful jutsu that Amegakure Village could show off.
"Don't worry about that, I've already prepared it for you,"
Kirito said mysteriously with a smile.
The next moment, he took out a Summoning Scroll from his body and used the Summoning Technique: Release Technique to take out a scroll inside and then handed it to Hanzo.
Hanzo didn't suspect any trickery, and immediately took the scroll, opened it, and his face immediately revealed a shocked expression: "Masanari, is this information true?"
The content of this scroll actually contains a lot of secret information about the Sunagakure, including various strategic arrangements on the battlefield between the Sunagakure and Konoha, such as the locations of the weapons arsenal, granary, and field hospital.
If the information is true, once Konoha obtains this information, it will deal a huge blow to Sunagakure, forcing it to re-arrange its strategies.
"Of course it's true. I paid a lot of money to a ninja skilled in interrogation jutsu to obtain it from the two elite puppet masters of Sunagakure. Unfortunately, deeper information is blocked by extremely strong sealing techniques, so I couldn't obtain more valuable information,"
Kirito said with a hint of regret.
His words were half true and half false. It was true that extremely strong sealing techniques existed to protect the brains of Akashige and Sara, but his Spirit Transformation Technique did not need to read the two men's brains to obtain information. Instead, it acted directly on their souls to obtain their memories by reading their souls.
"It's already great to be able to obtain this information. Masanari, are you going to hand it over to Konoha?"
Hanzo said excitedly. His face was full of joy, and his eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
"Yes, I plan to contact Konoha in private and use it to trade with Konoha for a copy of the inheritance of interrogation jutsu,"
Kirito replied affirmatively.
However, he would give Konoha a copy of the information that was more detailed than the content of the scroll. In this way, he could bring the information back to Konoha with justification, alleviate the pressure from Konoha on Sunagakure, and incidentally make enough profit for himself.
"Perhaps you can get something more in return. I have accidentally obtained some secret information, which is that Konoha is currently undergoing the Nine-Tailed Inheritance transition. I have already received news from the border that Iwagakure and Kumogakure have suddenly sent a large number of ninja to gather at the border of the Land of Fire. This news should be true. If you hand this information over to Konoha at this time, you will definitely be able to receive an unimaginably generous reward."
Hanzo thought for a moment and gave a reminder.
After his Amegakure fought Konoha, he understood very deeply just how powerful this ninja village founded by the god of shinobi was. At the same time, fighting both Amegakure and Sunagakure, he was able to delay Amegakure until it could no longer hold out and had to surrender.
Now, Konoha is undergoing the Nine-Tailed Inheritance transition and will face enormous pressure from the three major ninja villages. If Konoha can rely on this information to deal a heavy blow to Sunagakure, it will definitely be able to greatly alleviate the pressure from the outside world.
"Hanzo, although what you say is correct, this is obviously taking advantage of Konoha in its time of need. We can certainly obtain a huge reward in a short period of time, but do you think Konoha will be grateful to us, the Amegakure? Of course not, Konoha will only hate us, the Amegakure, even more.
Didn't you just promise to work with me to build a stronger Land of Rain than before? Have you already forgotten? Do you think it is better for the Land of Rain to befriend the Land of Fire or offend the Land of Fire?"
Kirito's expression instantly turned cold upon receiving Hanzo's reminder, and he spoke coldly.
Hanzo was a little surprised to see Kirito suddenly angry with him, but after listening to what Kirito said, he suddenly understood and said to himself, "You're right, I'm being shortsighted. If the Land of Rain can use this to befriend the Land of Fire, it's indeed better than Amegakure getting that measly reward."
Then he continued, "Without further delay, let's contact Konoha as soon as possible and send this information. Sunagakure is definitely afraid of Konoha getting this information and may have already started adjusting their strategic layout. The longer we wait, the less valuable this information will become."
"You're right, this matter really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. However, I will personally talk to Konoha about this matter. Hanzo, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I really can't trust the people around you. Once this information leaks, the value of this intelligence will be greatly reduced, and I may face a greater danger than encountering those two elite puppet masters."
Kirito nodded and said with a serious expression.
Hanzo's face revealed a hint of sadness as he sighed, "I understand. I'll leave this to you. If you want to contact Konoha, go find a guy named Jiraiya. He's the disciple of Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and is currently in the Land of Rain."
"Jiraiya? I've heard of him. He's one of the people you bestowed the title of Sannin upon. Tell me seriously, what kind of person is he?"
Kirito said thoughtfully.
"How should I put it? He should be a somewhat naive guy. To be honest, the reason he stayed in the Land of Rain is because he adopted three orphans from the Land of Rain and is teaching them to become ninjas. Personally, he is a Konoha ninja, but he helps train ninjas for the enemy country. What do you think such a person is if he is not naive?"
Hanzo thought back carefully about his impression of Jiraiya and some of the information he had gathered about Jiraiya's activities in the Land of Rain, and smiled bitterly.
"I see, that's an interesting guy, worth meeting, so goodbye."
Kirito smiled.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Kirito turned into a ball of white smoke and disappeared.
Hanzo saw this, and the smile on his face quickly turned cold, before he decisively used the flames of his Fire Release Chakra to burn the scroll in his hand.
Then, he walked out of the inn and, looking at the rain that had started up again outside, muttered, "Hattori Masanari, I hope everything you said is true. Don't let me see you do anything to betray Amegakure and the Land of Rain, or even if I have to die, I will take you down with me..."
