Guardians of Tirisfal of Konoha

Chapter 236 Complete Preparations

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan got news from Hanzo in the small village where Akatsuki organized a rest.

"Hanzo-sama intends to entrust you with the task of negotiating peace on the border with the three major kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind.

The three major powers surround our Land of Rain, and now wars are raging everywhere. This matter is of incomparably great significance. "

The messenger sent by Hanzo conveyed his wishes, making Akatsuki's members rejoice.

For them, Hanzo has always been the orthodox leader of Yuyin Village, representing the official of Yuyin Village.

To be recognized by him proves that the efforts of myself and others have been supported by the officials of Yuyin Village. They have entered the official field of vision from a purely non-governmental organization!

"It's amazing, big brother, Hanzo has recognized the strength and prestige of our Akatsuki organization!"

"Please tell Lord Hanzo, we have already taken orders for this matter."

"Then, I look forward to your coming. Lord Hanzo will personally inform you about the relevant matters, and the time is set in a week."

"clear."

After seeing off Hanzo's envoy, he celebrated with his morale-boosting companions, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and Kakuzu at the scene.

"..."

Seeing Yahiko's serious face, Kakuzu frowned slightly, and nodded secretly.

"Yahiko, do you think there is a problem with this matter?"

Nagato and Konan also noticed that Yahiko's face was not right, and Nagato sensed that there were no other people around, so he asked aloud.

"Well, strictly speaking, although our Xiao organization has a high reputation, it has not yet reached the level that can represent a country."

Yahiko touched his chin hesitantly:

"As the leader of Yuyin Village, Hanzo actually asked us, who are actually mercenaries, to conduct peace negotiations... I always feel that it is too sudden."

"But didn't you just agree with Hanzo's emissary?"

Xiao Nan said strangely:

"If you feel suspicious, just refuse. We are not in a subordinate relationship with Hanzo. Although Hanzo once expressed his appreciation for us, we always follow our own will."

"...The companions still recognize Hanzo's right to rule this country. Even though we are very clear about the harm Hanzo has caused to this country, they don't know it."

Yahiko shook his head:

"If I refused just now, it would greatly damage the confidence of my companions. After all, this is a good thing."

Looking at the silent angle, Yahiko humbly asked:

"Mr. Kakuto, you have experienced a lot more than us, what do you think of this matter?"

"Boss, you really have grown a lot. According to your usual carefree appearance, I really thought you would jump into this big pit with your eyes closed."

"Well……"

Yahiko couldn't help but touch his nose at the straight-forward complaint, while Nagato and Konan were surprised.

"Mr. Kakuto, is this really a problem?"

"Well, you are still young after all."

Jiaodu stretched out a finger and shook it, with a look of "I have seen through everything":

"Based on my many years of experience, Hanzo, as the leader of Yuyin Village, has always admired our attitude towards Akatsuki, but he has not made friends with him."

"Hanzo is indeed a hero. I still know a little about the story of him and Konoha Sannin in the last war."

The witness who didn't know about that incident was right in front of him, and Kakubo didn't care about the strange expressions of the three of Yahiko, and continued to express his opinion:

"But as he grows older, his temperament is declining, and he becomes suspicious and indulges in pleasure-the number of guards traveling and the funds spent on daily life are all increasing.

However, he didn't do much to actually build the country, or he simply let it go. The country's economy didn't improve at all, but instead declined year by year, even worse than before the last war. "

When they heard that Kakutsu's judgment was based on the economic level, the three of Yahiko showed a look of conviction.

"He puts all his time and energy into how to find success in the gap between the three major powers, but he doesn't have the courage to single out the four major powers in the last war——

Such a person entrusts a task related to the lifeline of the country to a somewhat prestigious civilian mercenary organization. He might be able to do it before the last war.

But for him now, it is absolutely impossible! "

Jiaodu's green eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"On the contrary, if he is afraid of your rapid increase in influence and threatens his status, and deliberately sends you to die, I think it is very reasonable!"

"!"

Before Yahiko could make a sound, Nagato's expression turned cold:

"Let us go to die? Just because of our reputation?"

"Although Hanzo has caused harm to this country, we have felt his longing for peace before—it is precisely because of this that he let 'Konoha Sannin' go, right?"

"But now, why did he become like this?"

"People always change..."

Kakuto took a deep look at Nagato and shook his head:

"Especially those who are in high positions, but there is still no movement in Sand Hidden Village in the Land of Wind. On the battlefield between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, that lord resisted three generations of Tukage Onoki.

For the Kingdom of Rain, the current situation should integrate domestic forces, or maintain neutrality, or bet on one country. There is really no need for him to be so anxious. "

"But what if Hanzo really wants us to negotiate peace?"

Konan asked:

"If Hanzo didn't have any conspiracy, wouldn't we have wronged him?"

"Xiao Nan, when Senior Brother Wu taught me, he let me see the world with my own eyes, and experience for myself what peace is."

Yahiko looked at the sky that was still raining, and chuckled lightly:

"Only by experiencing it personally can you have the right to speak and have your own understanding.

No matter what purpose Hanzo came to us with, this matter itself is in line with our ideals, so I took it on.

But if things are really not as we wish, we must also be fully prepared—we work hard to acquire skills, isn't it for this kind of time? "

"Only by protecting ourselves can we have the confidence to explore peace. I once promised Brother Wu that I would not easily fall down on the road to peace——

Now that Senior Brother Wu has been able to compete against the third generation of Tsuchikage, I am still looking forward to discussing with him about peace in his eyes. "

Nagato and Konan smiled, Yahiko is like this, his ideals have the power to shock people, he used to be a little naive and a little idealistic.

But for him now, this only weakness no longer exists.

"Very good... Yahiko, you are worthy of being Akatsuki's leader if you have this kind of awareness."

Jiaodu nodded slightly, secretly rubbing a special arcane crystal with his right hand hidden in his long sleeve.

"Don't worry, I will go with you, if Hanzo really wants to do something bad as I think..."

There was a smile in the corner of Jiaodu's eyes:

"He's doomed to waste his efforts."
