Akihara Kagura raised her finger!

Two vines suddenly emerged from the ground!

However, the target of these two vines was not Nagato and Konan, but the Salamander Hanzo who suddenly appeared here. The vines quickly tied around the Salamander Hanzo's arms!

Clang!

Salamander Hanzo raised his sickle, drew an arc in the air, and actually cut off two vines at the same time, then turned over and fell to the ground!

"Sansho Fish Hanzo!"

Everyone present knew this ninja demigod.

Especially Nagato and Konan, when Nagato looked at Sanshoyu Hanzo, his face was calm, but his palms trembled slightly, and there was even more undisguised hatred in Xiaonan's eyes!

"do not worry."

Salamander Hanzo put down the sickle in his hand and looked at Nagato and Konan: "I didn't come here to make the same mistakes as before..."

Salamander Hanzo looked at them and said softly, "In fact, I have been staying here all this time. I buried that little fellow named Yahiko here. In addition to proving to the people of Rain Country that I will not be an enemy of Akatsuki, I also want to attract you to come and talk..."

"Is there no need for us to talk?"

Nagato, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, slowly clenched his fists and lowered his head: "Since the day Yahiko died, I have deeply felt the pain of losing him every night, and I have never forgotten it until now..."

In this world, there are two most painful things in Nagato's heart. The first thing is that his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas; the second thing is that Yahiko was killed by the conspiracy of Salamander Hanzo.

"This matter... is also the biggest mistake I have ever made."

Salamander Hanzo lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Until now, this old man has no hope of getting your forgiveness. I am only willing to atone for my sins with my death..."

"..."

Nagato and Konan suddenly looked at Salamander Hanzo.

This guy……

What kind of joke is this!

The enemy from many years ago was actually willing to die. Doesn't this make their hatred and pain a joke? What a joke this guy is!

Salamander Hanzo didn't seem to be joking, and his voice became serious: "When I negotiated with the Akatsuki organization, I allowed you to join the Hidden Rain Village. I hoped that you could bring peace to the Rain Country, but something unexpected happened in the middle, and I was forced..."

"..."

Jiraiya's expression suddenly became awkward.

Because he had already heard about what Hanzo was going to mention. It must be Shimura Danzo's problem again. If this kind of thing is explained...

"This was all done by Danzo."

Jiraiya finally let out a long sigh and took the initiative to take over the conversation from Hanzo: "I knew that Konan was still alive, so I tried to find out about your affairs. I happened to meet Mr. Hanzo and learned the truth from him..."

"When Hanzo wanted to negotiate with Akatsuki, Shimura Danzo disobeyed Konoha's orders and acted on his own, forcing Hanzo to cancel the negotiations and ambush instead..."

“This led to Yahiko’s death…”

When Jiraiya said this, he felt a little uneasy: "Nagato, Konan, this matter from beginning to end was Shimura Danzo's private action..."

"I am also wrong."

Hanzo of the Salamander interrupted Jiraiya and continued in a deep voice, "When I was threatened and bribed by Danzo, I only thought about avoiding war and not provoking hostility from neighboring countries, and forgot the belief I made in protecting all the citizens of the Land of the Rain..."

When Hanzo of the Salamander said this, he seemed to be unable to look back. "These are all my mistakes. It's all because I was too arrogant when I got the title of Ninja Demigod. I thought I could conquer the three major ninja villages with my own strength. I didn't expect that the war was a disastrous defeat. The Rain Country suffered heavy losses and has not been able to recover. It can no longer withstand too many setbacks, so I was forced to agree to Danzo's request..."

"..."

Nagato loosened his fist somewhat weakly.

Hanzo of the Salamander told him the truth of that year in person, and since even teacher Jiraiya mentioned it, it meant that what he said was true.

In this case……

Can I really blame him?

Salamander Hanzo looked at Nagato and continued, "I came here not to ask for forgiveness, but to apologize. Before I die, I have only one request..."

"You said."

There seemed to be color back in Nagato's eyes.

really!

I knew there was something wrong with this guy!

As long as he makes unreasonable demands, he will have a new reason for revenge!

"Don't start a civil war in the Rain Country."

Salamander Hanzo lowered his head and pleaded in a low voice: "I have already told all my confidants, you can immediately succeed the position of leader of the Hidden Rain Village, and even spread the Akatsuki organization's ideas that Yahiko spread in the Rain Country. The Rain Country can no longer experience any twists and turns..."

"..."

Nagato actually felt a little guilty.

The old man, Hanzo, was a man who was willing to sacrifice his life and honor for the Rain Country, but he himself became a man who was willing to start a civil war for power...

Reason for revenge...

Disappeared……

"After that tragedy, Shimura Danzo persuaded me to continue hunting you down, but I knew he had bad intentions..."

Salamander Hanzo looked at Nagato and said softly, "After Shimura Danzo left the Rain Country, I have been trying to find a chance to talk to you..."

"Over the years, I have been tracking you down. I just want to stay useful so that I can explain what happened back then. I hope you can take on the responsibility of the future of the Hidden Rain Village..."

"Why……"

Nagato looked at Hanzo and said in a vague voice, "Why did you tell me all these things? You said you wanted to hand over the Hidden Rain Village to me..."

"You are the perfect candidate."

Salamander Hanzo stared into Nagato's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Land of Rain is at the junction of three major countries: Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sand Village. Every time they have a conflict, they will regard the Land of Rain as a battlefield, bringing a bloody storm to the Land of Rain..."

"After being praised as a ninja demigod by the ninja world, I once wanted to solve this problem, but in the end I was powerless. I can only rely on this title to support the Rain Country from being annexed. But I will eventually grow old..."

Hanzo of the Salamander spoke openly about Nagato's ability: "You possess the Samsara Eye, and you are the one who can support the peace of Rain Village even after the death of the ninja demigod!"

"If you are willing to agree, I am willing to commit suicide in front of you immediately to atone for the sins I committed in the past..."

"besides……"

"You can bury me nearby after you die..."

“Let me be buried here together with that little fellow named Yahiko. This will also allow me to atone for my sins to that little fellow named Yahiko after I reach the underworld…”

After Hanzo of the Salamander finished speaking, he suddenly pulled the chain and raised the sickle upside down, as if as long as Nagato opened his mouth, he would pierce his body the next moment!

"Kill yourself!"

Nagato suddenly spoke.

"..."

Jiraiya looked startled and seemed to want to persuade him.

However, before Jiraiya could even open his mouth to say anything, Hanzo had already raised his sickle and was about to stab it into his body!

boom!

Nagato suddenly raised his palm!

A repulsive force suddenly burst out, instantly knocking Hanzo of the Salamander away!

The ninja demigod rolled to the ground, unable to even hold the sickle in his hand, and it flew out directly, looking a little embarrassed!

"I won't kill you."

Nagato slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "Because if I had died and Yahiko was still alive, he would definitely not have killed you..."

"..."

Salamander Hanzo was silent for a while.

The ninja demigod slowly shook his head and said, "At least use my death to eliminate your hatred, and don't start a cleansing turmoil in the Hidden Rain Village..."

Nagato glanced at Hanzo and whispered, "I know the news you spread in the Rain Country. All those who have been involved with the Akatsuki organization will be pardoned. We will not start a civil war in the Rain Country..."

"Thank you."

Salamander Hanzo fell silent again and whispered, "Then I will leave here and you guys go directly to the Hidden Rain Village..."

"I will not go to the Hidden Rain Village to take over the position of leader."

Nagato shook his head, as if he didn't care anymore: "Even if I become the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, the situation in the Rain Country will not change. There will still be constant wars in the Ninja World, and people will continue to die. What I have to do now is not to stabilize a village, but to change the entire Ninja World. What I want to create is a world without war..."

"How is this possible?"

Salamander Hanzo looked at Nagato and shook his head slowly, as if he didn't quite believe it: "As long as there are people, the war in the ninja world will never end..."

"Will do."

Nagato's eyes were full of determination, as if he firmly believed in his plan: "As long as..."

"Just kill everyone..."

Akihara Kagura followed suit.

Jiraiya angrily held down his disciple.

"Nagato."

Konan understood Akihara Kagura's reminder and realized that Nagato had leaked the plan. She stopped Nagato from talking and added, "As long as everyone can understand each other, can the ninja world really achieve peace?"

Ever since Hanzo of the Salamander appeared, Konan has not spoken a word. She has been waiting for Nagato's decision and does not want her thoughts to influence Nagato.

but……

Nagato was affected by the appearance of Hanzo of the Salamander, and was even about to reveal the true plan of the Akatsuki organization. Fortunately, Kagura Akihara interrupted him in time.

"The ninja world will be at peace."

Nagato took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said nothing more.

"But there will be no peace in the Rain Kingdom."

Salamander Hanzo shook his head and sighed, "Without a strong force to suppress them, the Hidden Rain Village, which has just restored peace, will sooner or later have disagreements because of the disagreements between the Akatsuki ninjas and the ninjas in the village..."

"You are a ninja demigod..."

"I can only calm you down for a while."

Salamander Hanzo looked at Nagato and continued, "However, I am already very old. I am worried that after my death, the two different factions of ninjas will fight each other. No one is willing to submit to a successor from another faction. In order to ensure peace in the Rain Country, the next generation leader must be from the Akatsuki organization. You are the most suitable candidate..."

When Hanzo Salamander said this, he took the initiative to bring up a story: "Many years ago, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan jointly founded Konoha. The position of Hokage in Konoha Village changed. The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, planned to pass the position of Hokage to his younger brother, and did not pass it to Uchiha Madara. As a result, Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha..."

"Since then."

"The internal strife between the Konoha high-ranking officials and the Uchiha clan has never subsided."

"During this period of time, I was able to take the time to observe the situation and resolve the civil war. Fortunately, the situation within Konoha was serious. In order to deal with the Uchiha clan, Danzo Shimura was unable to take the time to continue suppressing the Hidden Rain Village..."

"..."

The corner of Jiraiya's eye twitched.

What on earth is the old man doing? The internal struggle within Konoha Village is known to so many people, and now it's really embarrassing even abroad!

"At least...after you pass away."

Nagato was still feeling somewhat hesitant.

Although Hanzo of the Salamander said a lot, Nagato still didn't quite think that he was qualified to succeed him as the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

"The old man can die now."

Salamander Hanzo actually took out a kunai and even started a plan for him: "After I die, there will definitely be civil unrest in the Hidden Rain Village. You can take this opportunity to quell the unrest..."

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

A gravitational force burst out from Nagato's palm, suddenly pulling up Hanzo's body, and using the momentum to grab his kunai in his own hand.

"At least……"

Nagato shook his head, thinking that the Akatsuki organization would definitely provoke other major ninja villages when they captured the tailed beasts in the future. He didn't want to bring trouble to the Hidden Rain Village: "At least... wait until I finish the important things. I promised you this, and I will definitely do it in the future."
