LRAB Chapter 114 Iwa Ninja Invade the Land of Rain
Chapter 114 Iwa Ninja Invade the Land of Rain
Taking advantage of the time bought by Ooka Shin, Nagato, who was about to be swallowed by the salamander, escaped from the salamander's mouth without any serious injury.
"It's good that he's not dead."
Seeing this, Ooka Shin breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then heard a cold voice behind him.
"He's not dead, you are!"
Hanzo swung his scythe and brought it down on Ooka Shin's neck, preparing to behead him.
Damn it, there's no escaping it now!
Hanzo was too fast; Ooka Shin had no time to react. Under the shadow of death, his heart stopped for a second.
"Universal Guidance!"
As soon as Nagato landed, seeing that Ooka Shin was in danger, he immediately stretched out his left hand and used a ninjutsu on Ooka Shin.
Ooka Shin's body flew rapidly toward Nagato, dodging the decapitation, but a huge wound still appeared on his back, and white bone could be faintly seen through the cut flesh.
"Oh, another ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals, how interesting!"
Seeing that Nagato had used a strange new ninjutsu, Hanzo became cautious and did not rush to pursue. Instead, he jumped onto the head of the salamander, preparing to kill the two guys in front of him in the safest way.
"Rain Ninja, listen to my command! Maintain your distance and attack them relentlessly!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Hanzo's order, the Rain Ninja immediately drew their senbon needles, shuriken, and other bladed weapons, launching a continuous attack from all directions.
"No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, it consumes chakra and is difficult to use continuously. Let me see where the limits of your ninjutsu are and how long you can hold out."
Hanzo kept an eye on Nagato, wanting to see what other skills Nagato possessed.
At this moment, Ooka Shin had already been poisoned and felt the toxins spreading rapidly in his body. Knowing that the current situation was extremely dangerous and that he might die, he took an antidote that might not be effective while saying his last words to Nagato.
"Nagato, if I die, Masao has my will. There are some things I need your help with."
The contents of the suicide note were something that Ooka Shin had discussed with others in a dream, so that if Ooka Shin died, the others would still have a way to continue using Nagato's cheat codes.
"Believe me! I won't let you die!"
Nagato used Shinra Tensei to block one attack, and then used Earth Release to create a powerful wall to block another wave of attacks. Although he felt tired, Nagato did not give up.
"The power within the Rinnegan is immense. Even if you force it, I will protect you!"
Seeing Nagato use Earth Release, Hanzo smiled and said, "Is this your limit? You can no longer use that kind of ninjutsu? Then die!"
Just as Hanzo was about to launch his attack, a Rain Ninja stumbled over, looking extremely terrified.
"Lord Hanzo, the Iwa ninja have launched a surprise attack on us! They've already invaded the Land of Rain and are now heading straight for Amegakure!!!"
"What?!!"
Upon hearing this news, Hanzo's eyes widened suddenly. He then forced himself to calm down, recalled the events of the past two days, and immediately understood the cause and effect, and was furious.
"Damn it, that old fox Onoki actually tricked me!"
Heiji said, "Could it be that the Iwa ninja are cooperating with the Akatsuki?"
"Idiot, we've been fighting for so long and haven't seen any Akatsuki reinforcements. They've been deceived by the Iwa ninja! But I still need to confirm."
After the battle, Hanzo felt that the Akatsuki organization was quite strong, especially Nagato's amazing ninjutsu, which was very practical.
If the Akatsuki organization did not betray them, then Hanzo would still have used the Akatsuki to fight against the Iwa ninja.
After all, if the Rain Ninja were destroyed by the Iwa Ninja, Hanzo would lose everything.
"What's going on? It seems like the attack outside has stopped."
A moment later, just as Ooka Shin was about to faint, Nagato noticed the abnormality in the outside world. Just as he was wondering about it, a gap was suddenly cut in the earthen wall in front of him, and Hanzo was standing outside the gap.
"Damn it, I won't give up!"
Upon seeing Hanzo, Nagato's pupils contracted, and he was about to form hand seals to activate the power he had not yet mastered in the Rinnegan, but then he heard Hanzo's calm voice.
"Stop, we are not enemies."
"what?!"
Nagato was taken aback, then heard Hanzo continue, "We've all fallen into the trap of the Iwa ninja. They provoked us to invade the Land of Rain. Now, they've broken through the defenses and are preparing to attack the Amegakure village."
Things changed too quickly, and Nagato didn't know how to answer for a moment. He also didn't really believe Hanzo, after all, Hanzo had almost killed Yahiko and Shin.
At this moment, feeling his body growing weaker and weaker, Ooka Shin shouted with all his might.
"If you're not an enemy, give me the antidote! Heal me..."
After saying this, Ooka Shin fell into a coma.
Hanzo took out a medicine bottle and tossed it to Nagato.
"This is the antidote. If you hate me, you can leave the Land of Rain. If you want to protect the Land of Rain, you are welcome to come anytime."
After saying this, Hanzo led the Rain Ninja away and sped off to defend against the Iwa Ninja.
Hanzo didn't think this would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble, since every excellent ninja would encounter all sorts of enemies when carrying out numerous missions.
A person who seeks to exterminate every enemy they encounter or refuse to cooperate with them forever cannot survive in the ninja world.
As long as there are common interests, even ninja villages that have fought to the death can quickly form alliances, let alone individual ninjas.
As the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo was able to suppress his personal feelings and consider the bigger picture, hoping to preserve the Akatsuki organization, which had considerable fighting power, to resist the invasion of Iwagakure.
If the Akatsuki did not agree, or even cooperated with the Iwagakure to attack the Amegakure, Hanzo would not regret it, because he knew that everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and every decision has risks. He could not give up the best option because of potential risks.
Watching Hanzo's departing figure, Nagato's mind was in turmoil, unsure of how to handle the situation. He simply treated Ooka Shin's wounds, fed him the antidote, and then quickly went to find Konan.
Yahiko has also been poisoned and needs to take the antidote immediately.
A few days later, news of the Iwa ninja's invasion of the Land of Rain spread rapidly throughout the ninja world, attracting the attention of all forces.
In particular, the Leaf Village, Sand Village, Cloud Village, and Rain Village paid close attention to the movements of the Iwa Village and each had a different attitude.
"Lord Mizukage, Master Genji believes that the actions of the Iwa ninja will cause new changes in the ninja world, and we should suspend the war with the Kumo ninja."
Gonbei, who rushed from Kirigakure to the front lines, conveyed the views of the Master.
Genshi is an elder of Kirigakure, possessing great power and high prestige. Currently, he assists Yagura Karatachi in handling the daily affairs of Kirigakure.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, had a bandage on his right hand and his chin resting on his left, his tone somewhat displeased.
"Hey, it's not that we want to start a war, it's that the Cloud Ninja have seized our ninja swords. I can stop the war as long as they return the stitches."
Quan Bingwei thought to himself, there are many ways to get the sewing needles back, why must we have to fight? Isn't it because you want to gain spheres of influence on land?
The stitches were just an excuse.
However, the war has been going on for so long, and the Mist Ninja has not gained the upper hand. Continuing to fight will not yield any results, so it should be ended as soon as possible.
Of course, this war was commanded by Yagura Karatachi, and he would not easily stop without achieving any significant results, otherwise it would damage his prestige.
Konbei only thought these words to himself; he dared not say them aloud. He simply noted down Yagura's words and went back to convey them to his master.
After Gonbei left, Ao, who was standing next to Yagura, finally spoke.
"Lord Mizukage, it seems that the long war has caused some discontent in the village, which is why Master Genshi sent Gonbei to remind us."
With no outsiders present, Yagura's face turned cold.
"Those cowards, are they content to hide on this island forever?! If Kirigakure wants a future, they must set foot on the mainland! Ouch, that hurts so much..."
Because he was angry, Yagura accidentally aggravated the wound on his right arm while speaking, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Damn Raikage, he's too old to just die already, he's so despicable!"
