Chapter 75: Where is Your Meaningful Place?
The Ame ninjas suddenly became furious.
Ninja Sword unsheathing from scabbard sounded one after another.
The Konoha Ninjas actually humiliated Amegakure. How could these Ame ninjas who were loyal to Hanzo stand this kind of insult!
The anger on Kandachi’s face flushed away. He waved his hand to stop the actions of his subordinates and said coldly, “Is your Excellency humiliating our Amegakure?”
“Come if you want to!”
Uehara looked at the many Ame ninjas coldly and said, “It doesn’t matter if I am humiliated, but right now, I represent Danzo-sama!”
As soon as he spoke this sentence, the other Ame ninja stopped their movements.
They always respected people who would die for their boss. This was part of the culture of the Ninja world, especially in Amegakure, which has a little bit of samurai in it.
Yamanaka Fu was not afraid of death, and he just wanted to win a chance for his boss to meet Hanzo-sama so that his boss would not return without any gains.
It was admirable!
Kandachi didn’t feel much, though. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, “I also want Hanzo-sama and Danzo to meet… but the time and place…”
“We’ve considered this matter.”
Uehara immediately put forward his thoughts, “If Danzo-sama appears in Amegakure, it would be very detrimental to both Hanzo-sama’s prestige and Danzo-sama’s safety…”
Reaching that point, Uehara paused and continued, “So Danzo-sama plans to arrange a meeting where we last cooperated to suppress Akatsuki and discuss how to deal with them once and for all.”
“…”
Kandachi was silent for a while, nodded, and said, “I’ll find a way to facilitate this meeting, and I’ll get a reply to you as soon as possible… If Hanzo-sama agrees, you’ll learn of the meeting time by tomorrow!”
“Okay.”
Uehara nodded.
Now that the negotiations were over, there was no need for them to stay here.
“Wait…”
Just as Uehara and Tendo Pain turned around and were about to leave, Kandachi suddenly said to them, “If you can’t meet Hanzo-sama’s conditions, this meeting may end up pointless…”
“…”
Uehara stopped with a smile on his lips. He turned his back to Kandachi and said softly, “Don’t worry! Since Danzo-sama is going to come in person, he will definitely give Hanzo-sama a satisfactory answer. “
A very satisfying answer.
Okay, there were definitely some people who would not be satisfied with the answer, but at least Konan and Nagato were delighted. That was enough.
Uehara was willing to guarantee that.
From Kandachi’s perspective, the sentence was also quite reassuring but for a different reason. He believed that Shimura Danzo’s concessions would satisfy Hanzo.
Some idiots were hopeless.
To reach cooperation as soon as possible, Kandachi hurriedly took his people back to Amegakure to report the results of their negotiations to Hanzo as a demonstration of his abilities.
It was precisely because of his struggles that Konoha’s ninjas backed down.
Hanzo was too lazy to pay attention to him but frowned and thought, “Will that guy Shimura Danzo still be willing to cooperate with us?”
After they cooperated last time, he broke his promise after all!
Shimura Danzo sent someone to urge him every once in a while. Still, Hanzo didn’t want to get involved in Konoha’s Hokage succession. He just wanted to use Danzo.
Hanzo did not really expect Danzo to come to power.
If he publicly supported Shimura Danzo, it would provoke Sarutobi Hiruzen’s anger. If that happened, he might not be able to hold onto his current power within the Amegakure.
As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
Even if Konoha’s Uchiha clan was annihilated, and their vitality was severely injured, it was still not a Ninja Village that the Amegakure could contend with.
Hanzo was getting older and became more afraid of death.
He just wants to maintain his title of demigod and his existing power and prestige.
He was a little embarrassed to say that if he and Danzo continued to cooperate, he also wanted to deceive Danzo again.
Anyway, Danzo was over sixty this year, and it didn’t look like he could get the position of Hokage. Even if he lied to him, he wouldn’t face Konoha’s revenge…
With Shimura Danzo’s acts in the dark, he would get his comeuppance sooner or later.
If it were not for Akatsuki’s resurgence, Hanzo would not have considered colluding with Danzo, lest it cause any more trouble.
Hanzo remembered what he was most concerned about and asked in a deep voice, “Is there any news on the Akatsuki organization? Have their members attacked any of the outposts?”
“There is.”
Kandachi nodded and said in a low voice, “When I came back today, I received news that our northern outpost encountered a sneak attack. Two weak little kids suddenly attacked and killed most of them.”
“…”
Hanzo was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said, “Akatsuki has begun to recruit talented kids… Kandachi, I agree with Konoha’s Root! I will meet with Shimura Danzo.”
After seeing Kandachi nod, Hanzo added, “On the day of the meeting, remember to bring more people to ensure your safety.”
“Yes.”
Kandachi respectfully agreed.
Hanzo nodded in satisfaction as he continued to ask, “Where are we going to meet?”
“It’s the place where Hanzo-sama first surrounded and suppressed Akatsuki.”
Kandachi replied in a low voice, “It was a place both Konoha’s Root and I agreed on since they didn’t want Shimura Danzo to enter the village so as not to encounter any danger.
Personally, I don’t want to let Danzo enter so as not to hurt master prestige.”
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of Hanzo, but he quietly hid it. The old man, who was declining with age, clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, “Yes, we’ll agree to that place! This time we must remove the Akatsuki!”
Uehara expected Hanzo to agree to their request.
That place was where Yahiko committed suicide.
Konan was a little excited. Her hands tightly balled into fists, “With that said, has our plan succeeded?”
“At least half of it has succeeded.”
Nagato nodded and continued in a deep voice, “Wait until the day after tomorrow if Hanzo really appears there… This time I will definitely not let him go!”
Uehara glanced at the two, then chuckled lightly, “Probably the demigod will be quite surprised, right?”
“I’m sure he’ll be pleasantly surprised!”
Nagato clenched his fists bitterly. After a while, he looked at Uehara with a little doubt, “Uehara, why do you think Hanzo would agree to meet Danzo there?”
“Since Konan-sensei and Nagato-sama think of it as a meaningful place.”
Uehara raised his head slowly and continued softly, “Hanzo would also think of it as special, especially when dealing with the Akatsuki. He would definitely agree to choose to meet there.”
Maybe this was metaphysics, right?
The people of Ninja World were very superstitious!
After he finished speaking, Uehara added, “Just like if I lost Konan-sensei one day, I would go to the cave where we first met to look for her. I know that it was significant to Konan-sensei too, right?”
Konan’s gaze became a little puzzled. After thinking about it, she felt that Uehara made sense.
After thinking for a while, Konan asked, “Naraku, what about you?”
Uehara watched Konan’s curious eyes and said, “I’m still looking for it. Maybe Konan-sensei will find the answer before me.”
