Seeing Chiyo's confused face, Hanzo raised his scythe and walked over.

"You, you, don't come here!"

Chiyo was so frightened that he seemed to be out of his mind and lost his consciousness.

A circle of sand ninjas surrounded him, protecting Chiyo in the middle, looking at Hanzo who was walking up with a look of fear on his face.

"Hanzo-sama, this is just a misunderstanding."

"Chiyo-sama just said this to paralyze the enemy and create conditions for your sneak attack."

"Yes, Master Hanzo, we have a covenant, how could we do such a thing?"

Hanzo stopped when he heard this,

"You said alliance, this is how you sand ninjas treat your allies."

At this moment, a group of rain ninjas rushed over from a distance, hundreds of them, the same group that had chased Jiraiya who had escaped.

The first rain ninja held a bloody person in his waist - it was Jiraiya.

They were very fast and arrived at Hanzo's side in a short time.

"Hanzo-sama, please forgive me."

"This guy and that toad are so tough"

"The two of them worked hard to cut off the throne for those Konoha ninjas, but there was nothing we could do."

"The time has finally come for that toad to channel the spirit. This guy himself exhausted his chakra and fainted."

"I thought this ninja would be more useful if he was alive, so I captured him."

Looking at Jiraiya's bloody body, even Hanzo sweated for him.

"How can you live like this? You are so lucky?" Hanzo said: "

Okay, what's your name? "

"Hanzo-sama, my name is Kan"

"Good, well done." Hanzo came over and took Jiraiya from his hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen next to him looked anxious for a while.

"Lord Hanzo, now that the sand ninja has betrayed you, why not join forces with us in Konoha?"

"The benefits that the sand ninjas give you, we in Konoha give twice as much."

Hearing this, Hanzo turned his head and looked at him,

"It's a tempting offer, but do you know how much the sand ninja gave me?"

"Our Country of Fire is the richest country among the five major countries. The Country of Wind is many times poorer than us. Their so-called price is not worth mentioning here."

The sand ninja across from him felt angry at Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.The chakra on Chiyo also dropped, but he looked at Hanzo gloomily and said:

"What I just said was used to paralyze the Third Hokage. If I accidentally angered you, our sand ninja can give you appropriate compensation."

"But if you really want to join forces with Konoha, then just wait for the endless revenge from us sand ninjas!"

"Don't worry, Lord Hanzo." At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came over: "No matter how serious the loss of Konoha is, its foundation cannot be compared to that of the Sand Ninja."

"As long as we are here in Konoha, Sand Ninja can't even think of taking advantage of the Rain Country."

"Hehehehe", Hanzo sneered in his heart: "Is this the sense of superiority of the five major countries? It is obvious that both sides will be killed by me at any time, but now they are boasting here, as if we and the other countries must rely on others to survive."

"Shut up, everyone. I, Sanshouyu Hanzo, am not a dishonest person."

Hanzo said:

"I will continue to fulfill my covenant with the Sand Ninja."

"Don't think it's because I'm afraid of the five major countries. It's just that I don't want to tarnish the reputation of my demigod because of this incident."

Chiyo breathed a sigh of relief. In comparison, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed more cautious.

"Don't you really think about it? Konoha can give you more."

"Needless to say"

"Hehehe, your Excellency is so righteous."

As if hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice, Jiraiya opened his eyes vaguely in Hanzo's hand.

In front of him was a man in dark clothes, but he no longer had the strength to look up. A man in black clothes in the distance seemed to be looking at him. Although it was very blurry, he still recognized it as his teacher at a glance.

His face, which was covered with blood, finally showed a hint of joy, and he made intermittent sounds from his mouth.

"That's, teacher..."

"That's great...teacher...my mission...is completed..."

After saying that, he fainted again...

Hanzo looked at Jiraiya and said: "What a strong-willed person. It just so happens that you and the other two companions can meet in the rain ninja prison."

"What, Orochimaru and Tsunade are fine?" Sarutobi Hiruzen in the distance became more energetic when he heard these words.

"Of course it's okay. Although they are enemies, they deserve respect."

"I don't know what conditions your Excellency requires to let them go," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Your Excellency must have a purpose in telling me this news here."

"I just like to deal with smart people." Hanzo chuckled: "Easy, give me money."

"One hundred million for Senju Tsunade and thirty-five million for Orochimaru. If you redeem both of them at the same time, Jiraiya will be considered a free gift from me."

"As well as the living Konoha ninjas in this circle on the ground, I only charge you a medical fee."

……

"what!?"

Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Chiyo, but also the surrounding Rain Ninja and Sand Ninja all had their faces twitching several times.

Are you a ninja?Are there any principles?Aren’t you very image-conscious?Don’t you care about your own reputation?Why was he suddenly corrupted by money?

Even the rain ninja felt that Hanzo's glorious image before was beginning to collapse at this moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched and he looked at Hanzo: "We in Konoha will send the ransom within two months, but I don't want to see anything happen to them when they come out."

"Hehehe, don't worry, I am very trustworthy."

After hearing Ban Hanzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched again.

At this time, Chiyo's voice came over again in anger: "Hanzo, are you sure you want to do this?"

"What you are doing is betraying us Sand Ninjas."

"Huh???" Hanzo turned around and looked at Chiyo with a sharp gaze.

Now he seems to have come to his senses and feels embarrassed.

"But the Third Hokage must die here. This is the bottom line."

"Then leave it to you sand ninjas. I used forbidden techniques to solve Konoha's defense line before, but now the backlash is coming, and I won't be able to go to the battlefield for a while."

"Next, I will enter a long period of weakness, and all the Rain Ninjas will prepare to cover my return to the Rain Ninja Village."

How can you feel weak when you look like this? You can't even speak or act. Chiyo's eyes twitched as he watched.

"Now there is no need to consider the issue of cutting off the rear for Jiraiya and the others. If there are only sand ninjas, there is definitely a chance to retreat." Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at the monkey demon next to him. The monkey demon's mind met and turned into a golden hoop again. The stick returned to his hand.

Chiyo seemed to be thinking of Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous battle, and now only the Sand Ninja didn't know if they could still surround him and what price they would have to pay to surround him, and he hesitated for a moment.

"You Konoha are lucky this time."

"But it's not a loss. Konoha sacrificed nearly six thousand troops this time."

"We sand ninjas have also lost hundreds of troops and their vitality has been severely damaged. Now we have to go back and recuperate."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt bad again. Because of his mistakes in intelligence, so many Konoha ninjas died on the battlefield. He could not absolve himself of the blame. How would he explain it when he returned?

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are very lucky. This time we sand ninjas will be merciful and let you go. You should be very grateful when you go back, hahahaha."

"You guy", Sarutobi Hiruzen felt annoyed when he heard Chiyo's ridicule.

At this time, the voice of the monkey demon came from the golden hoop: "Calm down, Sarutobi, you have more important things to complete, you can't lose your life here."

"You are the Hokage, what will happen to the village if you die?"

The Third Hokage calmed down and took a deep breath:

"Chiyo, we in Konoha have recorded this grudge."

"Also", Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Hanzo: "I have remembered your kindness. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to Konoha and we will definitely come to help."

Seemingly mocking Chiyo and the Third Hokage, he said:

"The most important thing for us in Konoha is credibility."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the golden hoop, quickly disappearing from the sight of Hanzo and others.

Now that his disciple has been confirmed to be fine, he has no reason to stay, and he is lucky to be able to go back alive.

"As expected of the Third Hokage, I didn't forget to pick it up when I left at the end," Hanzo said, looking in the direction in which the Third Hokage was leaving.

At this time, only the Sand Ninja and the Rain Ninja families were left on the battlefield, and both sides were at war with each other.

Chiyo and Hanzo also looked at each other. After a while, they suddenly laughed at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

The surrounding Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja all looked confused.

"Chiyo, your acting skills are really good. It would be a pity not to become an actor."

"What are you talking about? I was still thinking whether it would be a bit too exaggerated to attack directly like this? But in the end, the idiot Third Hokage didn't notice at all."

"As I said, your acting skills are so good. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I probably wouldn't have been able to react. Even now, our army still firmly believes in what you just said."

"Oh, that's why I thought you were really dead. To be honest, even I didn't realize that it was your water clone. I always thought you were confronting Sarutobi."

"...are you really okay if you say this?"

"That's when Chiyo took out a needle from the back of his head."

The art of subconscious manipulation of sand!Hanzo understood immediately.

"I planted a time-limited subconscious mind manipulation technique on myself to erase the memory of my previous conversations with you, and then used illusion magic on myself to amplify my hatred and fear of you."

"As expected of you, Chiyo, you are so cruel to yourself."

"After all, apart from pretending to be dead, I can't do anything else."

Chiyo then said: "Okay, put down your weapons. The scene just now was played by Sansho Hanzo and I for the Third Hokage."

Hanzo took out a cicada-sized puppet bird from his sleeve and looked at Chiyo: "The sand ninja's puppet technique is really good and always has surprising effects."

The Sound Bird is a sound-transmitting puppet developed by Sand Ninja. It can transmit sound over short distances in pairs.

Time goes back to when Hanzo used the Izuduri Wall to resist the Third Hokage's thunder bullets.

Chiyo looked at the battle situation in front of her and was secretly happy. She had already planned to wait for the two of them to fight until both of them were injured, then go up and hit the target.

At this time, the robin hidden in her collar suddenly made a sound:

"Chiyo and the Third Hokage can't die yet. You and I will put on a show later."

Chiyo: "What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly."

"I will tell you after the battle is over. I will never betray the interests of your sand ninjas."

"You're going to pretend to break up with our rain ninja later..."

……

Chiyo looked at Hanzo and his tone returned to seriousness: "So now you should tell me why you let the Third Hokage go."

Hanzo took out a respirator from his body and put it on his face, threw Jiraiya to the rain ninja behind him, took out a sealing charm and put it on the ground to form a soundproof barrier, signaling Chiyo to come over.

"The next thing I want to say is about the power structure of Konoha"

"I have an intelligence network that is different from your five major countries, so I know many things that your five major countries don't know."

"Since the death of Senju Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi was appointed as the Third Hokage in a critical situation. It seemed that he had saved the crisis, but in fact, the entire Konoha has been full of internal and external troubles."

"The Third Hokage did not have the strength of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama. In terms of reputation, combat power and military exploits, he was far inferior to some other people alive at that time. He became Hokage entirely because he was appointed by the Second Hokage and became the Hokage. Discipleship”

"The Senju clan was so prosperous at that time. There were two Hokages in the family. Although under the policies of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, most people concealed their Senju surnames and integrated into Konoha, there were still a group of powerful people. A strong person bears the name of the Senju. When Hiruzen Sarutobi succeeded as Hokage, the first person to disobey was the Senju clan."

"Guess why in less than 20 years, there are only two members of the Thousand Hands clan left?"

Chiyo's eyes widened: "Don't tell me!"

"Also, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always adhered to the policy of the Second Hokage - suppressing the family and supporting civilian ninjas. He tried to find a balance between the ninja clan and the civilians."

"Guess what the result is? He doesn't dare to touch the big ninja clan at all. The big ninja clans like Yamanaka, Akimichi, Nara, Aburame, Hinata, and Uchiha have no influence at all. On the contrary, those big clans such as Kurama, Moonlight, Shiranui, and Hatake have no influence at all. Families like this, some of these families only have one or two people left, and the largest population only has ten people."

"Because this kind of thing makes those big families more vigilant. The relationship between the Hokage and the family is very fragile now. If this ninja war hadn't diverted the conflict, I have no doubt that there might be a civil strife in Konoha. "

"Now that all the small families have been sorted out by him, it's finally the big families' turn. If the Third Hokage dies, there may not be any good things to do."

"Furthermore, so many people were lost in this war due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's command errors. He cannot escape the blame. People in the village will also put their grievances on him as the Hokage, but a new one must be chosen when the time comes. The Fourth Hokage succeeds to the throne."

"But there is a 'think tank' around him. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen agrees, those 'think tanks' will not agree. They will definitely find a way for Sarutobi Hiruzen to continue to succeed Hokage. No matter how bad it is, he will choose someone who has no foundation. A civilian ninja is the Hokage in the open, and he holds the power of ANBU and so on, secretly controlling Konoha."

"But because of the war, many Konoha heroes will definitely be created. These people all have Kage-level qualifications. Most of them are from family forces. As strong competitors, guess what will happen to them?"

"You must have heard a lot about the geniuses of Konoha, including Shigesaku Hatake, Fuyasu Uchiha, the current Sannin of Konoha, and Dan Kato."

"The ones I mentioned above are all ninjas with Kage-level qualifications, a total of six of them. Except for the Konoha Sannin who were captured by me and have lost their competitiveness, how many of the rest can survive? "

"Wait a minute, Hanzo, these six people you mentioned all have Kage-level qualifications!!! Are you sure?" Chiyo looked at Hanzo and said, "Where did you get the information? How can I believe your words?"

Hanzo just looked at her and smiled, saying nothing.

"Kato Dan, who masters the art of spiritual transformation and kills enemies thousands of miles away; Uchiha Fuyasu, the genius of the Uchiha clan who opened the Sharingan at the age of ten and the leader of the Uchiha clan; the swordsman genius of the Hatake family, Shigesaku Hatake, who has become famous in countless missions; and the Sannin of Konoha who have signed a contract with the Three Holy Lands."

"Which of these people I'm talking about doesn't have a shadow-level appearance?"

Listening to Hanzo's words, Chiyo felt a chill in his heart: "No, the Konoha Sannin you have must be killed, otherwise if you give them another ten years, there will be seven Kage-level ninjas in Konoha, and we will all be finished by then. "

"Hahaha, have you forgotten what I said before, Chiyo?"

Thinking of Hanzo's previous words, Chiyo shook his head: "Are you kidding? Which village would be willing to attack a ninja with Kage-level qualifications?"

"The Third Hokage is the kind of person who sacrifices his life for his apprentice. How could he do such a thing?"

"I do not deny his contribution to Konoha, his will of fire, and his determination to protect Konoha."

"But everyone has two sides. Rights are more important than life to some people."

Reminds me of Naruto's childhood life in the original work.The son of the Fourth Hokage actually became a fox monster in the village. Naruto was ignored by everyone in the village, but the son of a hero was alone and helpless.

In the end, only the Third Hokage became the only kind old man who encouraged him in his dark life, allowing Naruto to subtly become a solid Hokage sect, and successfully allowed him to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

Thinking of this, he said to Chiyo: "I would rather call him a hypocrite. No one can act better than him."

Seeing that Chiyo still had an expression of disbelief, he didn't say anything more.

"I think I've said enough. Don't ask me where I got my family information. Anyway, I didn't lie to you."

"And now that the Third Hokage has gone far, it is useless to kill him. Why not do something more valuable?"

"Oh, something more valuable." Chiyo narrowed his eyes and looked at Hanzo: "You mean..."

"Didn't the Third Hokage also say that their Country of Fire is the richest country, so the nobles here must be very rich!"

"Indeed, we are here so we can't go back empty-handed. If it weren't for grabbing resources, why would we be fighting this war?"

"Oh, didn't you say before that the sand ninja's vitality was seriously injured and he needed to recuperate?"

"Aren't you also planning to return to Rain Ninja Village because of the sequelae of the ban?"

Hanzo and Chiyo looked at each other and laughed again.

"Ahahahaha"

"Hahahaha"
