Volume 1 Chapter 193 Hanzo Attacks the Iron Kingdom, the Iron Kingdom Seeks Help
Rejected?
Ever since he learned that Chitsuki was kept in the village and became a guiding jonin, Orochimaru knew what the group of senior officials were trying to do.
But he never expected that the village would rather sacrifice the success rate of completing the task in order to continue to cool Qianyue.
He couldn't guarantee it alone, but with Chitsuki's help, Orochimaru believed that he could make the Cloud Ninja Village pay the price.
Even if they are discovered in the end, they can evacuate calmly.
If he were alone, not only would the mission be extremely difficult, but once he was exposed, Orochimaru would be endlessly hunted down by the Cloud Ninja Village.
It is even possible that the Third Raikage himself is hunting him down.
Orochimaru had already thought of various plans, but problems arose when he was looking for partners.
“Hehehe.”
Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh, and his smile was full of irony and helplessness.
Hearing Orochimaru's shrill laughter, the Third Hokage looked a little unnatural.
After all, what they did was unreasonable in the first place, and when it was discovered, they were ridiculed for it. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about it.
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
Orochimaru stood up disappointedly and reminded the Third Hokage:
"But what I want to tell you is, don't push him too hard. Once this kid explodes, you'll probably regret it."
“Boom boom boom!!”
Before the Third Hokage could respond, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Hokage-sama!"
After the door opened, the intelligence department rushed in anxiously and placed the scroll on the table as quickly as possible:
"This is a request for help from the Iron Country. The Iron Country hopes that our Konoha can send people to stop the people from the Rain Village."
"What?"
The Third Hokage thought there was something wrong with his ears.
The Iron Kingdom, a permanently neutral country, is being attacked by ninja villages from other countries.
The ones attacking them were the Rain Village which had just suffered a defeat!
What does Hanzo want to do?
You are crazy to cross the Fire Kingdom to attack the Iron Kingdom.
The Third Hokage hastily opened the scroll and began to read.
Orochimaru laughed silently.
He decided not to leave yet and it would be nice to stay and watch the show.
“Nonsense!!”
After reading the request for help written in the scroll, the Third Hokage slammed the table in anger and started cursing:
"Is Hanzo crazy?
What Rain Village needs is rest, not war, but he actually led his people to attack the Iron Country, which is a neutral country! ! "
Hanzo has the idea of starting a war, and this is no joke.
The original target was the Grass Kingdom. After all, it was right next to it and the geographical environment of the Grass Kingdom was also good.
If we conquer it and manage it well, we can improve the economy of the Rain Kingdom.
Strengthen the national strength of the Rain Country.
It’s a pity that the Land of Grass is a vassal of the Land of Fire and a vassal of Konoha.
Konoha will not sit idly by.
As a result, and with the frame-up by the Sand Village, war broke out.
Seeing that the war with the Rain Village had just ended, Konoha was able to free up its hands and concentrate its strength on dealing with the Sand Village.
Who knows what went wrong with Hanzo, and he went straight across the Fire Kingdom to attack the Iron Kingdom.
"Go inform the elders and the Hokage's assistant and ask them to come to the conference room for a meeting. Orochimaru, you should come too."
Taking the scroll, the Third Hokage, with a gloomy face, led the way towards the meeting room.
Orochimaru smiled and followed slowly.
He really wanted to know how the village would deal with this matter.
The Grass Nation is an ally of the Fire Nation, so Konoha cannot sit idly by.
The Iron Country is a neutral country, and the five major ninja villages cannot sit idly by and watch the Iron Country being attacked.
Konoha, which has been relying on purchasing large quantities of high-quality ore from the Iron Country for many years, will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Hanzo, this is quite interesting..."
After a while, Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En, who had received the notice, all rushed to the Hokage's office building.
Several people sat down in the conference room.
The Third Hokage handed them the scroll:
"Look at this, what a good thing Hanzo did. The war just ended not long ago, and he immediately crossed over to our Fire Country to attack the Iron Country."
"The Iron Country doesn't want to sacrifice too many people, nor does it want a war to break out, so it asked us for help. I'm afraid that several other ninja villages will also receive corresponding requests."
Can the Kingdom of Iron defeat the Rain Village?
It might be a bit risky, but one Hanzo is enough for the Iron Kingdom to enjoy.
In addition, the Iron Kingdom, as a neutral country, is unwilling to be involved in the war, so asking for help from the five major ninja villages is the best way.
The Mist Village is out of reach and can basically not be relied upon.
The Sand Village can hardly protect itself, and right now only Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure can solve the difficulties of the Iron Kingdom.
"Nonsense! Hanzo has gone crazy."
"Huruzen, we can't tolerate this! Hanzo's actions must be stopped."
The only way for Rain Village, or even the Rain Country, to recover is to launch wars against other countries and plunder resources.
Just recuperating, considering the hollowed-out situation of the Rain Country, it will take at least 20 years to recover.
This is also the fundamental reason why Hanzo would risk crossing the entire Fire Kingdom to attack the Iron Kingdom.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En were immediately furious, but Danzo just kept a gloomy face and said nothing. Just looking at his clenched fists, one could tell that he was not calm either.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Looking at Danzo's right eye and arm wrapped in bandages, Orochimaru inexplicably wanted to laugh.
This old guy probably hates old lady Chiyo to death.
"It will be stopped for sure."
The Third Hokage picked up the pipe, lit it, and took a deep puff of smoke:
“The question is how to stop it.”
We can't start another war against the Rain Village, can we?
After all, Hanzo did not attack the Fire Nation, so even the threat of sending troops was unreasonable.
How to stop Hanzo is a difficult problem.
Threats of war are impossible.
But the question is, if we send someone to persuade Hanzo, will he withdraw his troops?
Obviously that's unlikely.
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who had just been cursing, calmed down and thought that the matter seemed to be difficult to handle.
"Danzo, what do you think?"
Since the two elders couldn't come up with any good ideas, the Third Hokage had no choice but to consult his own Hokage for assistance.
Facing the Third Hokage's question, Danzo said indifferently:
"Now we can only send someone to persuade Hanzo to withdraw his troops and lead the people of Rain Village to leave the Iron Kingdom."
If it were any other time, Danzo would definitely get involved in this matter, but now he has no time to care about it as the lost chakra metal has not been found yet.
"You want to go there in person?"
The Third Hokage subconsciously thought that Danzo wanted to go there in person to meet with Hanzo and persuade him to leave the Iron Kingdom.
"???"
I'm just giving you some suggestions. Who said I'm going to the Land of Iron to see Hanzo?
Danzo didn't expect that the Third Hokage would put the blame on him. He was stunned on the spot. He quickly reacted and shook his head to refuse:
"My condition has just been brought under control, so it's not suitable for me to travel long distances. I can't go to Hanzo to discuss this matter."
Danzo didn't want to go.
So I'm declining.
Tsunade has already said that apart from the inconvenience in movement and the decrease in strength, Danzo has no other major problems.
But what Danzo said made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Danzo is unwilling to go, and it is even more impossible for Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En to leave the village.
The Third Hokage suddenly had a headache.
or........
“Hehehe…”
Seeing the Third Hokage looking at him, Orochimaru, who was looking at him with his arms folded, couldn't help but laugh:
"I refuse."
Because of the title of the Three Ninjas, Orochimaru didn't want to see Hanzo at all.
He doesn't want to see Hanzo unless his strength reaches the point where he can kill Hanzo.
Besides, he hasn't figured out his mission yet, and the Third Hokage wants to throw this mess to him, so Orochimaru can't possibly take it over.
It is clearly a thankless task, and anyone who takes it over would be a fool.
"Orochimaru, what are you laughing at?"
