Among the five time travelers, the Hokage is actually me?

The Land of Rain,

Yuyin Village,

A country where it rains all year round.

A ninja village where it rains all year round.

Hanzo is at his peak.

I am reading the information in my hand.

"Humph, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, these are the five great nations, but you have to fight your war on the territory of our Rain Country. This is the arrogance of a great nation. Ridiculous."

The huge chakra turned the information scroll in his hand into powder.

"After so many years in the ninja world, the structure of the five major countries and five major ninja villages should also change, and the people in that position should be replaced."

"Get ready for the meeting."

"Yes, Master Hanzo."

The Land of Rain,

Adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Wind,

It is usually a buffer zone between the three countries.

During the war, it was the arena of the Three Kingdoms.

For the Three Kingdoms, it can protect their own territory from the invasion of war.

But for the Rain Country, this is a huge disaster.

During the war, the people of the Rain Country would be killed at will by the ninjas of the Three Kingdoms and their resources plundered.

After the war, they had to clean up the ruined land, and were killed and injured by the explosives, traps, and poisons left behind.

After the land was rectified, the ninjas from the Three Kingdoms came again.

There is a saying spreading among the lower classes of the Rain Country.

“I’d rather be a dog of the Three Kingdoms than a man of the Rain Kingdom.”

someone said,

The year-round rain in the Rain Country is the tears shed by the people of the Rain Country.

"Master Hanzo, I think we should attack Konoha. A few years ago, Konoha's staunch ally, the Kingdom of Whirlpools, was destroyed. Konoha only dared to confront Kirigakure, which shows that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Moreover, Konoha is rich in resources. As long as we conquer a little bit of the land, we will not lose at all."

A senior member of Yuyin said,

"Why attack Konoha? Attack Sand Village. Over the years, how many of our innocent citizens have sacrificed their ninja tools, puppets, and poisons? Moreover, as long as we attack Konoha, Sand Village will never miss the opportunity to attack us by surprise." Another senior official retorted,

"What about Ohnoki of Iwagakure? Sunagakure is attacking us by surprise. As long as they see that our war is in a stalemate, Ohnoki will definitely attack us, and they will firmly occupy our land. For the people of the Land of Earth, land is their lifeline. It will be difficult to drive them away if they come. Compared to Sunagakure who are only plundering resources and have no interest in land, the threat of Iwagakure is still greater."

An elderly senior executive said,

"How about we first annex the Ghost Country behind us? One meter of land is one meter at a time, one kilometer at a time. Wouldn't it be better to nibble away at it step by step and develop slowly?" A new staff officer wearing glasses expressed a different opinion. Why should we chase after the five major countries? It would be better to attack other small countries.

"Harada, the Demon Country is very poor and they are suppressing a monster there. If you dare to say that you want to annex it, the daimyo of the Demon Country will pack up and join the Rain Country overnight. Then, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Demon Country? Can we afford to support them? Besides, what's the point of annexing a small country? I defeated Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, last year, but so what? They still want to start a war in our country."

Hanzo explained that he was very optimistic about this young man named Harada, who was the future of the Rain Country. Naturally, he would not hesitate to use his patience to answer his questions and help him grow.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Hanzo, I didn't think enough." Harada apologized respectfully.

"It's okay. It's not scary to make mistakes. Correcting mistakes as soon as you know them is the highest quality."

"Understood, Master Hanzo."

"The national strength of our Rain Country has reached its limit, and most of the people still can't afford to eat. If we allow the three countries to continue fighting in the Rain Country, the Rain Country will be destroyed soon. So this time we must fight back, and we must be the first to start the war. In this battle, we must really hurt the people of these big countries. We may not win, but as long as these big countries suffer enough losses in the Rain Country, they will not start a war in the Rain Country again."

Hanzo said word by word.

"Master Hanzo, we will do whatever you say."

"Master Hanzo, we all obey you."

"So, this time we are declaring war on the three major nations, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. We will fight them all, and with great fanfare, and announce to the ninja world that we are officially declaring war on Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure at the same time. The minor fights of the past few years are nothing like the Second World War in the ninja world. The real Second World War in the ninja world will be started by our Rain Country. After this battle, the name of our Rain Country will spread throughout the ninja world."

Hanzo said with great pride,

When the rest of the people were ready to respond,

Harada expressed a different opinion.

"Master Hanzo, you can't do that. The Rain Country has more than 8,000 active ninjas, most of whom are Genin. There are only a few hundred Jonin. We can't deal with the three major countries at the same time. Moreover, if we declare war first, the three major countries will work together to wipe out our Rain Country. Even if we squeeze our national strength to replenish our troops, recruit Genin in advance, injure the cruel ones, and have the old ninjas return, we will only have 12,000 at most. We don't have any chance of winning with this number of troops."

"If anyone shakes the morale of the army before the battle, he shall be executed."

"If you disobey Master Hanzo's orders, you shall be killed."

Some senior officials did not speak, but had already drawn their ninja swords.

But Hanzo burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Harada, I originally thought you were just a little bit good, but now I officially recognize you as the future successor of the Hidden Rain Village."

"Hanzo-sama."

"Hanzo-sama."

"Master Hanzo, I am not worthy."

"No, you are the most suitable one. You understand the national strength and know the strengths and weaknesses. You remember the number of reserve ninjas, injured and cruel ninjas, and elderly ninjas. You are the man who truly cares about the Hidden Rain Village."

Hanzo is in a very happy mood now, perhaps because he has a future successor.

Inevitably, the conversation became more frequent.

"Harada, all you lack now is experience. You must listen carefully to what I say next."

"Yes, Master Hanzo."

"We have 12,000 ninjas in the Rain Country because of our national strength. Our resources are only enough to support these ninjas. In other words, this is when our Rain Country is at its strongest. Even if new ninjas are promoted after a few years of development, old ninjas will naturally die, and the overall level will remain at this level. We are different from other countries. Our Rain Village is the Rain Country, and the Rain Country is the Rain Village. The daimyo has longed for the position of the Five Great Nations, so he will spare no effort to support us."

"As for why we declared war publicly, after the declaration of war, the arrogant three major countries will naturally not think that we have the strength to attack the three major countries at the same time. Instead, they will be more cautious against other major countries. You know, there are two major countries among the five major countries? As long as we gain a little advantage in the early stage, the three major countries will feel like they have a thorn in their throat. They will feel uncomfortable but they can't focus on us. You know, compared to us, their land and resources are more popular, and we can take the opportunity to develop and plunder resources. After that, as long as we hold on until the end of the war, our goal will be achieved. This is called taking advantage of the fire. Harada, do you understand?"
