Chapter 611 Assassination
The request of Yugu to Sosuke to watch the Chunin Exam did not cause much commotion among the Ninja Clan.
Compared to the large-scale lectures of the Ninja Clan or the Youth Martial Arts Tournament that brought together a large number of young talents in the ninja world, the Chunin Exam of Yugu was too ordinary.
This was not even a joint Chunin Exam, but a Chunin Exam held by Yugu alone.
However, no one cared about this, because even if Yugu invited the Ninja Clan to take the exam together, the Ninja Clan did not have many ninjas who could take the exam.
The Ninja Clan was established not long ago, and the strength and ability of each ninja were more in line with their current ninja level.
The night before the Chunin Exam of Yugu, Yahiko, Konan and Nagato sat in the pavilion of the Ninja Clan's residence and chatted.
"I'm really tired recently." Yahiko stretched his arms upwards and stretched his body.
"It should be much better next time, and the work has been almost done." Konan said softly.
In order to prevent other areas of the Rain Country from being in chaos, the Ninja Clan has been busy recently.
"Well, the overall situation has improved." Yahiko smiled.
The mission was indeed very tiring, but seeing his motherland gradually getting better with his efforts, Yahiko felt it was worth it.
"Nagato, are you going to the Rain Village with Mr. Sosuke tomorrow?" Yahiko suddenly remembered something and looked at Nagato and asked.
Nagato nodded.
In fact, Nagato was the only one in the Ninja Clan who would really go to the Rain Village with Mu Yue.
Knowing that this was a trap, Mu Yue had no reason to take the Ninja Clan ninja to take risks.
Nagato was brought because Nagato was strong. Even if an accident happened, Mu Yue had the ability to take Nagato and run away safely.
"Oh no, I actually wanted to go too, but I was too busy recently and forgot to tell Mr. Sosuke." Yahiko said with a look of annoyance.
He wanted to go to the Rain Village with Sosuke, but Yahiko was not there for the Chunin Exam, but wanted to see Hanzo and ask Hanzo some questions.
Hanzo came to the Ninja Clan for the Youth Martial Arts Tournament and the second lecture, but Yahiko was busy with various things at that time and had no time.
Yahiko really wanted to know what Hanzo really thought about the Rain Country, and whether Hanzo really wanted peace.
When Iwagakure promoted the cooperation between the Rain Ninja and the Ninja Clan, it said that Hanzo attacked the Ninja Clan because of a misunderstanding.
But the real reason why the Ninja Clan was willing to reach a cooperation was not that most people in the Ninja Clan believed in an explanation, but that the cooperation would allow the Ninja Clan to have better development and better restore peace in the Rain Country.
Yahiko did not forget Hanzo's cold expression at that time, and he kept the kunai that threatened Sosuke to commit suicide.
Based on the currently known information, Yahiko felt that it should not be just a misunderstanding.
However, Yahiko also felt that Hanzo should not be a simple unfaithful and cunning ninja.
Otherwise, there would not be those beautiful stories circulating in the ninja world, and Hanzo would not have so many ninjas who admired him in the Rain Country.
Yahiko himself couldn't figure out what the real Hanzo was like, so he wanted to find out in person.
"Nagato, do you think it would be bad for me to go to Teacher Sosuke now?"
"Very bad." Nagato nodded in affirmation.
As the only accompanying person, Mu Yue told Nagato about the dangers of this trip.
Although Hanzo informed them, he still wanted to compete with Mu Yue, and then Shimura Danzo would take action.
Faced with this situation, Nagato definitely didn't want Yahiko to go with them, it was too dangerous.
"Indeed, let's wait until next time." Yahiko scratched his head.
They were leaving tomorrow, and it was indeed against the rules for him to look for Sosuke at this time.
...
The next day.
Mu Yue and Nagato set off for the Rain Village to participate in the Chunin Exam.
"Don't think about anything else when the battle occurs. The most important thing is to protect yourself." Mu Yue reminded on the way.
Uchiha Madara will not take any action against Nagato himself for the time being, but Shimura Danzo is definitely going for Nagato's Samsara Eye.
"Yeah." Nagato nodded seriously.
He knew that Mu Yue was powerful, so Nagato positioned himself to take care of himself and not cause trouble for Mu Yue.
Of course, if Mu Yue really encountered danger, Nagato would definitely use his ability if he could.
The Rain Village is located in the middle of the Rain Country, not far from the Ninja Clan in the south of the Rain Country. At about eleven o'clock, Mu Yue and Nagato arrived near the Rain Village.
Mu Yue did not hide her figure, and walked openly on the road with Nagato and two Nagato shadow clones who used the transformation technique, so she was soon discovered by the Rain Village.
Hanzo, who got the news, quickly took the Rain Village to meet Sosuke at the entrance of the Rain Village.
When Mu Yue and Nagato walked to the gate of the Rain Village, they immediately saw Hanzo standing in the front.
"Sosuke, you are here." Hanzo greeted lightly, and glanced at a ninja wearing a Rain Village uniform next to him.
Mu Yue followed Hanzo's gaze and saw that the Rain Village Ninja was not much different from the ordinary Rain Ninja, but the mask on his face was very strange, and the holes for the eyes were very small, so small that it made people doubt whether these two small holes could play a role.
"Hanzo, here I come." Mu Yue replied with a smile, and gave the masked Rain Ninja an appraisal.
[Name: Shimura Danzo]
Looking at the familiar panel, Mu Yue nodded in his heart.
This time Shimura Danzo took the initiative to give him a chance, and it would be a bit rude for him not to take action.
Shimura Danzo did not care about the meaningless conversation between the two. He was paying attention to the ninja brought by Sosuke.
"Only three ninjas came with him. Should I say he is confident or he has no one under his command?" Shimura Danzo was secretly happy when he saw that there were only two Shinobi clan ninjas besides Sosuke and Nagato.
The fewer people Sosuke brought, the easier it would be for him to assassinate.
Maybe he didn't even need to fight. He could send the ninja master away with a sudden attack at close range.
"The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths." Looking at Nagato's Samsara Eye at close range, Shimura Danzo instantly felt that his three-magatama Sharingan was not so good.
Nagato, who felt Shimura Danzo's gaze, looked at Shimura Danzo.
"Powerful chakra, is he one of today's enemies?" Nagato thought after seeing the chakra in Shimura Danzo's body with his Samsara Eye.
After approaching the Rain Village, Nagato entered a state of alert to guard against possible attacks.
Shimura Danzo shifted his gaze to Nagato's shadow clone, as if he was checking all the Shinobi clan ninjas.
"The third match hasn't started yet. I'll take you to your resting place first." Hanzo turned around and looked at the gate of Rain Village.
In an instant, the Rain Ninjas behind Hanzo retreated to both sides, leaving a wide road.
Hanzo deliberately slowed down his pace when he left, and walked side by side with Sosuke who was walking forward. The two walked into Rain Village together.
"It's time to act, but Mu Yue hasn't arrived yet." Shimura Danzo glanced around and frowned slightly.
Mu Yue is also his important trump card. If Mu Yue doesn't arrive in time, he will lose a trump card.
Shimura Danzo was a little anxious and wanted to scold Mu Yue, but he couldn't do it now because Mu Yue was not next to him.
The only thing he could do now was to wait for Mu Yue to arrive at Rain Village, and then find a reason to knock Mu Yue after the matter was over.
Suppressing his impatience, Shimura Danzo followed Hanzo and entered Rain Village.
Hanzo and Mu Yue walked side by side on the street of Rain Village, attracting many eyes.
Some residents of Rain Village who were unaware of the situation were curious about who Mu Yue was and how he could walk side by side with Hanzo.
Although Mu Yue's vest was famous enough, many ordinary people had heard of Sosuke's legend, but they could not recognize his face.
Unlike ordinary people, all Rain Village ninjas could recognize that the person walking next to Hanzo was Sosuke, the leader of the Ninja Sect.
"Does it mean that the village and the Ninja Sect are really going to reconcile completely?" Some Rain Village ninjas couldn't help but think.
Both the Rain Village ninjas and the Ninja Sect ninjas knew that the peace agreement was the result of mutual compromise, not sincere cooperation between the same country's forces.
Sosuke's strong personal strength was enough to threaten Rain Village, and the large number of ninjas in Rain Village would prevent the Ninja Sect from working in the Rain Country.
A considerable number of Rain Village ninjas were not happy with this situation because they all recognized Sosuke and even worshipped him, believing that this was consuming the national strength of the Rain Country and was meaningless internal consumption.
Before the establishment of the Ninja Clan, many Rain Ninjas in the Rain Village had a good impression of Sosuke because of his behavior.
Later, because the leader Hanzo took the lead in spreading negative news about Sosuke, the number of people in this group decreased.
However, after Sosuke defeated Hanzo, established the Ninja Clan and held teaching activities, the number of Rain Village ninjas who recognized Sosuke increased sharply.
Some Rain Ninjas risked being punished to secretly listen to Sosuke's lectures.
The reason is actually very simple. First, Sosuke is really strong enough to defeat Hanzo under the condition of attribute restraint.
Second, Sosuke is the leader of the ninja forces in the Rain Country, and he naturally has a sense of identity with the strong people in his own country.
Third, Sosuke has personal charm and strong ability, and he really teaches something.
The fourth is related to Hanzo.
In the past, most of the Rain Ninjas in the Rain Village worshipped Hanzo, but Hanzo not only lost the battle, but also suffered repeated losses at the hands of his junior, Sosuke. In this comparison, it is hard for the Rain Ninjas not to think that Sosuke is the way out for the Rain Country.
Facing those Rain Ninjas and Rain Village residents who cast curious eyes, Mu Yue responded with a gentle smile.
I don’t know if that Rain Ninja was too excited for a moment, or what happened, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted "Sosuke Teacher".
"Sosuke Teacher!" Some Rain Ninjas shouted subconsciously.
Some Rain Ninjas saw someone taking the lead, so they shouted together, and the voices suddenly became louder.
Hanzo looked at this scene with a complicated mood.
Sosuke can be sincerely called teacher in the Rain Village, but will anyone sincerely respect him as Hanzo in the Ninja Sect?
Hanzo thought there should be no one, after all, the Ninja Sect almost perished in his hands.
Probably only Sosuke, who is so generous that he is not like a ninja, would call him Hanzo Senior with a hint of sarcasm.
Shimura Danzo looked at this scene with a thoughtful expression.
He remembered that Mu Yue seemed to be quite popular among students, and even those Root Ninjas who were taught by Mu Yue all spoke of Mu Yue with respect.
"Let Mu Yue train some teachers for special training, and don't let him teach." Shimura Danzo thought to himself.
Otherwise, a bunch of middle and upper ninjas would call Mu Yue Teacher Mu Yue like the current Rain Ninjas, and he would still be able to sit firmly on the position of Hokage.
Nagato was surprised. He didn't expect Mu Yue to be so popular in the Rain Ninja Village. Hanzo dared to call him Teacher even when he was standing next to Mu Yue.
"Master Hanzo is here, no noise!"
A Rain Ninja behind Hanzo came out and scolded with a solemn look.
Sosuke became famous in the ninja world by stepping on Hanzo. He can't control him outside the Rain Village, but inside the Rain Village, he can't let Sosuke show off like this.
The voices on the field suddenly became much quieter, because they knew the Rain Ninja who was talking. He was the leader of the jonin squad of the Rain Village and one of the Rain Ninja high-ranking officials.
Just when the Rain Ninja high-ranking officials wanted to say something, Hanzo spoke.
"This is not a solemn and solemn place, so there is no need to be like this." Hanzo interrupted lightly.
This made it seem like he deliberately gave Sosuke a warning, making him lose to Sosuke for no reason.
The Rain Ninja high-ranking officials were stunned and looked at Hanzo in disbelief.
He didn't say anything wrong just now, he was speaking for Hanzo, why did Hanzo talk about him.
Although he felt a little wronged, the Rain Ninja high-ranking officials did not refute, but quietly retreated behind Hanzo.
The situation in the Rain Village is different from that in ordinary ninja villages. Hanzo holds absolute power. These so-called Rain Ninja high-level officials are not much different from ordinary Rain Ninjas in front of Hanzo.
The surrounding Rain Ninjas were agitated, and they all felt that this time the Rain Village would completely reconcile with the Ninja Clan.
After walking a distance, Hanzo said, "This is not arranged by me."
"I don't think you arranged it." Mu Yue replied with a smile.
Of course, he didn't think Hanzo would do such a tasteless thing, because Hanzo had revealed that Shimura Danzo wanted to kill him, so there was no need to do such a thing deliberately.
Hanzo said nothing and moved forward silently.
As he went deeper, Mu Yue found that the surrounding buildings began to become sparse, and there were few pedestrians.
However, Mu Yue was not panicked. His white eyes and transparent world had already been opened, and no one could sneak attack him, whether it was Hanzo beside him or Shimura Danzo behind him.
When he walked to a remote wasteland, Mu Yue saw a small two-story building that looked good in appearance.
It's just that there's nothing around that makes this building look a little weird.
"Is this considering my training needs? It's really good." Mu Yue looked around and smiled.
"Just take it as it is." Hanzo replied expressionlessly.
While the two were talking, Shimura Danzo, who was standing behind Sosuke, held the kunai hidden in his sleeves in advance and quietly closed the distance between himself and Sosuke.
He concentrated and held his breath, condensed a large amount of chakra in his arm, and then suddenly stabbed towards Sosuke's heart.
"Success!"
Looking at Sosuke who was still smiling with Hanzo, Shimura Danzo was ecstatic, as if he saw the inheritance of the Ninja Sect and the Samsara Eye waving to him.
