Naruto: The Legend of Mortal Bone Ninja

"dawn?"

On the top floor of the tallest building in Yuyin Village, the man who had not left his office for a long time heard this name for the first time.

"Yes, there are rumors about them everywhere recently."

The subordinates who were half-kneeling in front of the head of Yuyin Village truthfully reported the information about the emerging organization. It was an organization that had been active among the people for a long time. The reason why the head of Yuyin Village only found out about it today was all because of this organization before. The influence has not yet reached the height of reporting to Hanzo.

Even now, the Akatsuki organization is just a toddler to Sanshouyu Hanzo. It's just that the subordinates judge that it is necessary to report it to this adult, and it is up to the adult to judge whether the organization that is growing in power should be born...or die. .

"Oh, there are still people like this among the ninjas in the village."

Sanshouyu Hanzo felt a little emotional, Xiao's actions gained his favor.

"I very much welcome forces that are willing to solve problems through peaceful means. This will also bring me one step closer to my dream of uniting the five major countries through peace."

Sanshouyu Hanzo does not object to the birth of other ninja forces in the country, and is even extremely generous in not pursuing those ninjas who secretly wear Amegakure forehead protectors.As long as they did not threaten the tranquility of the village or do anything that would disgrace the forehead protector, he would neither attack nor approve of these small organizations.

Sanshouyu Hanzo admires organizations like Akatsuki that help people, quell meaningless chaos and seek peace, but as a person in power...

"But why does this kind of person suddenly appear... I'm afraid there is someone behind it."

"I heard that they are disciples of Jiraiya of Konoha Village."

"Jiraiya? One of the Sannin of Konoha?"

"Yes. After Jiraiya fought with you, Lord Hanzo, he stayed here for three years to teach the war orphans ninjutsu."

Hearing this name brought Sansho Hanzo back to the memories of more than ten years ago. During the Second Ninja War, that was when he finally fought to his heart's content as a ninja.

"Was he that boy's apprentice at that time? Hahaha."

When the situation was over, the lives of the three people were spared both to cherish their talents and not to push Konoha too hard. As expected, these three people all became famous.

"Being kind and soft-hearted may not only benefit others. Maybe Xiao is repaying his kindness through a sudden turn of events, maybe."

Sanshouyu Hanzo waved off his men and did not regard the small organization as a threat.Perhaps it’s because of his age, but Sanshouyu Hanzo was filled with emotion as he recalled the incredible causal relationship between people.

This is a good thing. More people are thinking about the village. Everyone's sacrifices and past efforts have not been in vain.

If everyone did this, there would soon be peace in the world.

If everyone were like this...

If everyone were like this...

"Why, it's like this..."

Under the violent thunderstorm, there was a hint of trembling in Sanshouyu Hanzo's voice while standing under the eaves.

Placed in front of Hanzo were dozens of body bags.

"It was beyond repair when it was discovered."

The man who brought all this here was a man with the right half of his face wrapped in a bandage.

"Although we have not yet reached peace negotiations with the Earth Country, we sent them here because we saw that they were Hanzo-sama's clansmen."

Yes, those lying there were not Hanzo’s many strangers whose names I couldn’t remember, but his relatives. Everyone had a certain blood relationship with Hanzo, even if the relationship was not considered normal. As good as they are, they are Hanzo's irreplaceable family in this world.

There is an uncle who has never begged anyone in his life, and he was begging me to give his grandson a job a few days ago. There is a junior who has just been tested by me in ninjutsu. There are also unknown tribesmen who have always supported Hanzo. Now , they all lay in cold body bags.

"Sir Danzo, have you seen the prisoner?"

Sanshouyu Hanzo calmed down and asked the snake-like man without any emotion.

Shimura Danzo looked at Sansho Hanzo with his dead eyes.

Hanzo and Danzo have a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, but Sanshouyu Hanzo has no trust in this man. It is precisely because he has cooperated more with him that he has become more and more fearful.

Even after seeing the corpses of his clansmen, Sansho Hanzo's first suspect was Shimura Danzo, who brought the corpses over in a dignified manner. This man would do such things as a thief shouting to catch a thief, but his hands were black and his heart was missing like a ball of mud. A little bit of light.

Sanshouyu Hanzo now wants to figure out this guy's intentions. If what he says next cannot satisfy him... the small Amegakure Village seems to have no way to deal with the second-in-command of Konoha Hidden Village. This is how Danzo Shimura dares to be fair. The reason for standing here.

It was easy to kill him, but it was not easy. It took a lot of effort for Yuyin Village to maintain peace today...!

A chilling wind and rain slapped Shimura Danzo on the face, but he stood in the rain without any emotion.

"I'm afraid... Akatsuki."

Shimura Danzo said so.

Sanshouyu Hanzo's pupils flashed with a strange light. Different from the first time he heard this name, now even if no one informed him, people in the streets and alleys were singing this name.

"Xiao? But Xiao is..."

"An organization that advocates peace and has recently developed power in Yuyin Village."

"Yes, I heard that it is an organization that has the same ambition as me...but why..."

Sansho Hanzo showed due doubts, but quietly observed Shimura Danzo's reaction.

"Hanzo-sama, you let them go too far."

"What did you say?"

“It’s good to follow through on your ideals, but that’s where your weakness lies.”

"My weakness?"

"It is precisely because you have lofty ambitions that you are too indulgent towards people with ambitions. But such indulgence has become a hidden danger, and it has harmed yourself, which led to this tragedy."

Sansho Hanzo's eyes were fascinated. He smelled the smell of a trap in those confusing words. Anyone could have said these words appropriately, but it was the most suspicious words coming from Shimura Danzo's mouth. After all, this Poisonous snakes are not a good thing to lead people to do good.

"No matter how lofty your ambitions are, the same approach cannot be applied to everyone. Even if they initially show the same pursuit of ideals as you, in the end they are just a mob. In the end, they will be possessed by desire and power and turn into monsters. , peel off Akatsuki's high-sounding coat, and you will find that they are just a group of rats trying to subvert the village."

(Although there is some truth in what he said, the meaning of inducement is too strong, right? Is it Akatsuki? Why was Danzo targeted?)

Shimura Danzo paused for a moment. He knew what kind of reputation he had. He had cooperated with the head of Amegakure Village before the start of the Second Ninja World War. Both parties knew the truth. It was just a matter of words. There is no use waiting for a character, but...

(You are no longer the same person you were when you were young.)

"Master Hanzo, if this continues, this village will be taken away by them."

"..."

Sansho Hanzo was dazzled by those heart-wrenching words. He stood under the eaves. Danzo Shimura had already left, leaving only the remains of Hanzo's relatives to be beaten by the cold and sunless heavy rain in the Land of Rain.

The poisonous snake came here with the remains of the Hanzo people, and gave high-sounding reasons and excuses, forcing Hanzo Hanzo to the desperate situation where he had to face the incident.

dawn.

Not only the common people in the city, but also the personal guards around Sanshouyu Hanzo also mentioned it in their chats.

It was like a miracle star that illuminated the Rain Hidden Village that was obscured by the rain curtain. Adhering to Hanzo's belief in peace, a group of young and outstanding new generation Rain Hidden Village ninjas.

As a senior figure in life, Sanshouyu Hanzo has shown leniency to outstanding young people many times in his life. Some of them have become enemies that give Hanzo a headache, while others have become Hanzo's friends. The power of a village.

Sanshouyu Hanzo originally thought that Akatsuki would also become a force that would help Yuyin Village, and that was indeed the case. They even did better than Hanzo expected, so much so that... people only knew the name, but didn't know Sanshoyu Hanzo.

The older generation in Yuyin Village remember Hanzo's achievements, but the young people who grew up more than ten years after the war don't think so. They think Hanzo's pursuit of peace is too tame.

Violent and extremely eager to express themselves, young people who are ignorant of the overall situation and unreasonable even think that Sanshouyu Hanzo is flattering the big countries and has lost the prestige of Yuyin Village, making them unable to hold their head high among the countries.

This was a very serious matter, but before Sansho Hanzo could free his hands to solve it, Akatsuki appeared. They convinced these young people and guided them onto the right path of pursuing peace.

Hanzo was thinking that the peace he and Akatsuki pursued were obviously the same thing, and their approaches were no different. Hanzo even did more and better, but the young people opposed Hanzo and supported Akatsuki?

In the end, he figured it out even though he couldn't understand it.

It turns out that I am getting old.

Compared to the high-ranking Sansho Hanzo-sama who manages everything and doesn't even know what he looks like, young people are more willing to get in touch with Akatsuki, who is also young and is by their side.

Young people are always like this. They never think about who brings peace at this moment. They only care about the things in front of them and only believe in what they want to believe, thus bursting out with infinite passion and blood, just like Hanzo once did, and thus opened up the world today. Yuyin Village.

This is a good thing, Hanzo told himself.Yuyin Village needs such fresh blood, they are the future of Yuyin Village.Hanzo woke up from a dream once and dreamed that the cumulus clouds over Yuyin Village were dispersed, and a rainbow built a bridge of peace between small and big countries. Young people like Xiaozhong lived the peaceful life that young people should have. You can become friends with ninjas from great countries. There is no war, no pain, and there... there is no Hanzo.

When Hanzo, who was in the high tower, heard about Akatsuki's great achievements, Hanzo found that he could not be happy for these futures. He felt a little uncomfortable, and the poison sac in his abdomen seemed to have burst open in his body. He was terrified.

This high tower was specially built to protect his personal safety. It's not that he didn't want to get closer to the villagers in these years, but he couldn't do that. The safety of Sanshouyu Hanzo was related to the fate of this hidden village and the country's survival.

This is also his fate, his cage, which also makes him lonely.

Is aging scary, or is it scary to have everything taken away by a group of young people?

Forgotten.

"In this case, Yuyin Village will be yours."

"..."

Facing the poisonous snake conspirator, Sanshouyu Hanzo did not respond. He sat upright at the conference table, his heart as dark as mud.

The day of the plot arrived.

Hanzo held the little girl with light blue and purple hair hostage, and forced the two young people below to kill each other. Maybe he was really old. Hanzo looked at the dark sky and felt that he had forgotten something.

Since it will be forgotten, it may not be something worth remembering.

Hanzo thought so.
