Konoha: Start with the card-drawing mobile game.

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

In a central building that is as tall as a tower, the top floor is where the leader of Amegakure Village, Sansho Hanzo, is located.

"The Ninja War has begun again!" Sanshouyu half-hidden in his mouth and whispered to himself.

Wearing special armor that corresponds to his title of 'demigod', he holds a special weapon in his hand - a scythe, but the feeling of powerlessness coming from his heart cannot be weakened at all.

If it were during the Second Ninja War, even if he faced the three countries of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, he would resolutely lead the ninjas of Amegakure Village to fight on the front line and do his best to prevent Amegakure Village from becoming one of the top five countries. The battlefield between countries.

Just like he did when he intercepted Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru alone and gave them the title of Sannin.

In the Second Ninja World War, even if they were as strong as Konoha, they would not want to face the powerful Amegakure out of thin air in a war that determines the fate of the country, and be missed by other ninja villages.

Under this delicate balance, the crisis in the Kingdom of Rain can be indirectly solved by using the absolute suppressive power of his giant psychic beast and 'Sansho Toxin' on the battlefield.

But Sanshouyu Hanzo had to face a serious problem - he was old.

The hair hidden under the breathing mask was already graying, and feeling his body getting weaker, the fear in Hanzo's heart became more and more obvious.

He doesn't want to die yet.

With status, fame, and power, he existed like a god in the Land of Rain, and he didn't want to die like this.

He no longer had the 'faith' he had when he was young. As he approaches old age, the suspicion and anxiety in Hanzo's heart become more and more obvious.

The Great Ninja World War was second to none. What could arouse Hanzo's fear was Akatsuki, a mercenary organization that existed in the Land of Rain and became more and more famous.

"Jiraiya's disciple who stayed in the Land of Rain?"

Sanshouyu Hanzo stretched out his arm and picked up the letter on the table, and opened it again the information collected by the Amegakure spies who had infiltrated the Akatsuki organization.

The more he looked at it, the more fear he felt in Hanzo's heart became stronger. This was a real power that could trigger a coup and take over the Kingdom of Rain after killing him!

Although Akatsuki's public philosophy is to 'lead peace without using force', Sanho Hanzo scorns this.

"How could such an organization of mercenaries have such naive assumptions? I'm afraid they are planning a rebellion!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo turned his head and looked outside the tower. The continuous rain was knocking closely on the window, as if to remind Sanshouyu Hanzo that "the land of rain in war is crying."

But when he thought about the existence of the Akatsuki organization, and when he thought about his declining power, Sanshouyu Hanzo felt horrified!

Like the name of the Country of Rain, rainy days have become the most common feature of this country.

The special location at the junction of three major countries makes the Country of Rain destined to become a battleground in the Ninja World War.

Rain has covered the Rain Country for almost the whole year, as if this sobbing country is mourning for its citizens.

There were signs of unrest in the Land of Rain long before the Ninja World War began.

However, it was not the 'Ninja World Demigod' Sansho Hanzo who took actual action, but the new mercenary organization called 'Akatsuki'.

In the view of Sanshouyu Hanzo, this kind of uncontrollable organization seriously affects his reputation and status.

Sanshouyu Hanzo's cloudy eyes showed a fierce light.

'Unstable factors must be eradicated! '

Having made up his mind, Sanshouyu Hanzo picked up a pen and paper and started writing something.

"Then accept Shimura Danzo's proposal."

The roots behind Danzo Shimura began special operations when they entered the Land of Rain.

Sansho Hanzo is an important part of Konoha's battlefield layout in the Land of Rain. Shimura Danzo also did the same. Through the root intelligence department, he successfully captured the fear in Sansho Hanzo's heart.

Sansho Hanzo's bloodshot eyeballs showed a rare hint of emotion, and he responded to Shimura Danzo's previous letter.

"dawn"

Putting the letter into the envelope, Sansho Hanzo took a breath, and then looked out the window at the cloudy sky.

The Country of Fire can vaguely see the direction of the Country of Rain, which is Konoha's position.

This can be regarded as the tragedy of a small country. When facing a big country like Konoha, even if Shimura Danzo's roots are seriously stationed in the land of Rain Country, they do not dare to take drastic actions at all.

"Hasn't Sansho Hanzo's reply arrived yet?"

A middle-aged man sat alone at the root base underground and whispered. Only he knew the sadness in his heart.

He didn't even have a chance to explain. He obviously didn't do anything, but suddenly he was burdened with several big pots.

'Wood escape? '

The middle-aged man with his right eye bandaged stood in an empty underground venue. From the dense sealing techniques on the walls and ground, it can be seen that Shimura Danzo valued this venue.

Since transplanting the 'special' Hashirama cells developed by Orochimaru, he has never been exposed to the public again.

During that weak recovery period, only staying in this root base full of sealing techniques and guarded by root ninjas could give him some peace of mind.

After a long time, Shimura Danzo slowly untied the bandage wrapped around his right arm. The bandage, which was full of holes pierced by wooden spikes, slowly fell to the hard ground.

"Hillary cells."

On the right arm, the flesh and blood that is so pale that one feels chills is the result of Hashirama's cell transplantation.

This is the 'experimental version' that Orochimaru transplanted for Shimura Danzo after using special means to inhibit the activity of Hashirama cells.

Although it is possible to use the so-called 'Wood Release', it is a bit embarrassing in terms of power.

"Wood Release!"

Trying his best to mobilize chakra on his right arm, Shimura Danzo slammed his right arm to the ground after forming the seal.

The expected Mudun did not appear, and a small branch that was disproportionate to the chakra he consumed emerged from the ground.

But the next moment, the weak vitality in the branches disappeared after less than a minute of growth, leaving only a dry and ridiculously thin branch.

"Orochimaru"

Danzo Shimura was about to laugh in anger at this time. He couldn't believe that this was the result of Orochimaru's research that had spent so much time, money and manpower.

But as Orochimaru said: 'This is just a temporary transitional version. After your body adapts, you can gradually transplant stronger first-generation cells. '

The cake drawn by Orochimaru successfully made Danzo Shimura less angry, and at the same time he was also looking forward to the research results of a stronger version of Wood Release.

After experimenting with his 'Wood Release', Shimura Danzo slowly walked back to his room. After all, in this ninja world war, the battlefield on Amegakure's side was very important.

He must use his roots to make plans and arrangements in advance to eliminate everything that is not conducive to Konoha!

Sitting on the special chair, Shimura Danzo put his head in one hand and spread his thoughts.
