Hanzo looked at Aoba cautiously.
He knew that the person in front of him was Shimura Danzo's subordinate, and the news he brought was news about Shimura Danzo. However, for him, he had to be careful with any problems.
Just like how there were many ninjas on duty outside his residence.
"In two days, Konohagakure will have a peace negotiation with Kumogakure. At that time, Sunagakure's elites will come out in full force and head straight for Konohagakure. At that time, Sunagakure will be an empty village. Isn't it the best time for your Amegakure to attack?"
Tatsuma said slowly.
As soon as this sentence came out.
Hanzo fell silent.
His eyes were fixed on Aoba's advanced paper clone and there was a hint of hesitation in them.
The two of them remained silent for a while.
Hanzo didn't say anything. He was thinking carefully, trying to determine the feasibility of this matter.
Aoba's advanced paper clone didn't say anything else. He was a cautious person, and he knew very well that the more he spoke, the more likely it would cause the opposite effect.
All of a sudden.
The atmosphere became silent.
The two of them remained silent for more than ten minutes.
Hanzo looked back at the katana in his right hand, and there was a doting light in his eyes.
"Tatsuma-dono, what do you think of my sword?"
Hanzo said indifferently.
This sentence seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.
But...
Aoba was very clear.
There was a hidden meaning in Hanzo's words.
"Hanzo-sama,"
"Danzo-sama has never treated you as a knife," Aoba said in a deep voice. He was now Tatsuma, so he had to put this into his identity and make this matter clear.
"Is that so?"
Hanzo raised his left hand again and wiped the blade of the katana. Because he was wearing a gas mask, he could only reveal a part of his face, so Aoba couldn't see his exact expression.
"Then why did you come to me for this kind of thing?"
Hanzo's tone became somewhat unfriendly.
After he finished speaking.
He waved the katana in his hand.
He swung it towards the screen.
Swish!
Along with the sound of air breaking.
He raised his hand and the sword fell.
The screen was directly split in half by the katana and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Isn't it because my sword is very sharp?"
Hanzo said again. His way of speaking was like a riddle. If his reaction was not quick enough, he would not know how to answer him.
However.
Aoba was not surprised at all.
According to Tatsuma's memory.
Hanzo had always used this method to communicate with Shimura Danzo.
The two of them spoke in a pleasant tone.
To put it bluntly...
That was sarcasm!
Aoba took a deep look at Hanzo's half-hidden eyes. He maintained Tatsuma's image. Overall, he looked calm and cold. He was expressionless and unsmiling.
"Hanzo-sama is too serious. Danzo-sama only felt that this was an opportunity for Hanzo-sama, so he ordered me to bring this news to you. As for whether or not you want to take this opportunity, it is still up to you to decide." Aoba said with the attitude of Tatsuma.
"Danzo is a very bad guy. Don't think that I don't know anything. Everything he has done is for his personal interests. It's fine to not mention this kind of excuse."
Hanzo did not take Danzo's words to heart at all.
This was pure nonsense!
Even farting was much better than this!
If it really was an opportunity.
Then, Danzo would do it.
He would not find him.
It was only when he needed to use him that he would find him. He was very clear on this point!
"Hanzo-sama, as the saying goes, there is no benefit to be gained. Danzo-sama sending you news is indeed an opportunity for you. Of course, this opportunity is also beneficial to Danzo-sama. However, it is definitely not because Danzo-sama is using you. It is your win-win situation with Danzo-sama." Aoba said slowly with an expressionless face. Now, as long as Hanzo was willing to talk to him, things would slowly fall into his control. He was afraid that the other party would not even talk to him about these things.
"Danzo use be as a barrow knife. If I help him kill Sunagakure, how can it be considered a win-win situation?" There was a hint of disdain in Hanzo's tone.
"Hanzo-sama's surprise attack on Sunagakure can indeed remove Konohagakure's current urgent need and help Danzo-sama a lot. However, Hanzo-sama can also obtain great benefits in the process of his surprise attack on Sunagakure by completing the expansion of the Country of Rain." Aoba was still not arrogant. He understood that the core of everything was profit. The benefits that Hanzo wanted were also very simple. That was the expansion of the territory. This was also the reason why the Second Ninja World War could be created.
"What's the point of Sunagakure's territory? It would be interesting if it were Konohagakure's territory!" Hanzo suddenly turned to look at Aoba's advanced paper clone. The face behind the mask seemed to be smiling, "Danzo thinks that if I join up with Sunagakure and chops at the fat meat of Konohagakure, I get a share of the pie!"
"Hanzo-sama, you have to be careful. Even though this sword of yours is very sharp, if you cut the wrong target, it is very likely that the sword will break!" Aoba said in a low voice, without any intention of backing down.
"Are you threatening me?"
When Hanzo heard this, he immediately raised the katana in his hand and slashed at Aoba's advanced paper clone.
Swish!
The katana sliced through the air.
It slashed straight at Aoba's advanced paper clone.
However.
Aoba's advanced paper clone just stood there.
Not moving at all.
It was as if he hadn't felt this katana.
His cold posture was very calm.
All of a sudden.
The katana stopped in front of Aoba's advanced paper clone's head.
It was only a finger away from reaching Aoba's head.
"Good courage!"
Hanzo looked at Aoba's advanced paper clone's calm and indifferent appearance. A hint of praise flashed in his eyes, and then he put away the katana in his hand.
"As expected of Danzo's right-hand man!"
"Just based on your courage."
"I'm going to Sunagakure!"
Hanzo sheathed his katana and then placed the katana back on the shelf.
"Go back and tell Shimura Danzo that I will come to Sunagakure in two days. However, this matter can't be so simple. I want more benefits. Let him talk to me later!"
Hanzo said in a deep voice. He made a decision in that instant.
A large part of the reason for his decision was the calmness and composure of Tatsuma.
This was a symbol of confidence!
Hanzo didn't know what was behind this Tatsuma's confidence, but he believed that this person definitely had a trump card.
In that case.
This meant that Konohagakure had confidence in this matter!
Hanzo made a judgment at this moment. Although Konohagakure had Kumogakure in front of him and Sunagakure behind him, Iwagakure was still watching him from the side.
But...
Hanzo felt that Konohagakure was at ease.
Not only were they not nervous at all.
It seemed as if they could eat all of these opponents.
This was not an easy matter.
Hanzo felt that if he rashly joined forces with the villages with that he had no relationship, and attacked a well-prepared Konohagakure, the price he would have to pay would be too great.
In the end, the gains might not make up for the losses.
This would cause Amegakure to fall further into an awkward situation.
But.
If he joined forces with Danzo.
He could launch a sneak attack on Sunagakure, who was in the middle of nowhere.
In this way.
Counting with one's heart
It is far better than having a mind to count.
Most importantly...
Hanzo was still rather wary of that old fox Shimura Danzo. He had no idea what kind of trap awaited him if he forcefully attacked Konohagakure.
"Hanzo-sama, please rest assured. After the matter is settled, Danzo-sama will definitely personally pay you a visit. He will give you all the benefits and will definitely satisfy you!" Tatsuma said firmly. In any case, there was no need for him to give these benefits. He had only disguised himself as Tatsuma and made this empty cheque in place of Danzo.
"You can go back."
Hanzo didn't say anything more but simply sent him off.
He had already said everything he needed to say.
He wasn't a person who would dawdle.
Once he made a decision, it wouldn't change easily.
Not to mention.
He didn't like strangers staying too long in his residence.
"Yes."
Aoba didn't say much either and directly left Hanzo's residence.
Then.
Aoba followed the Ame ninja out of the residence.
The three advanced paper clones gathered together.
Then they walked out together and left Amegakure.
When Aoba's three advanced paper clones were outside the border of Country of Rain and making sure that no one was watching them anymore.
The three of them immediately looked at each other.
They could see the meaning in each other's eyes.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Along with the sound of three explosions, these three advanced paper clones were removed one after another. They turned into three pieces of information and merged into the consciousness of Aoba's main body.
...
At the same time.
Country of Water, Kirigakure.
Inside a tall house.
Kirigakure's elder Genji held a snake staff in his hand and shakily opened up the scroll that recorded advanced water release ninjutsu. His old eyes were filled with mist.
"How many years has it been?"
"How many years have I waited for this day!"
"Finally, I have obtained Senju Tobirama's Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
"The day of our Kirigakure's rise is finally coming!"
Genji's voice was filled with a deep sense of vicissitudes. After he said these words, he couldn't help but tear up. He recalled the sadness that Kirigakure had experienced for so many years, as well as the sacrifices he had made for Kirigakure.
"Now I will immediately practice this Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. After I learn all these water-release ninjutsu, Kirigakure will become the strongest village in the ninja world!"
After he finished these words, his eyes fell on the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, and he couldn't wait to start the first ninjutsu.
...
Kirigakure.
Somewhere.
Seven people sat on a tree branch.
Everyone did not look very happy.
These seven people.
They were Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Boss, why is there still no news of Rentaro? Did something happen to him?" Suikazan Fuguki frowned and asked. Recently, they had been inquiring about Rentaro, but there had been no news about him.
"I also think that he might have been killed!" Kuriarare Kushimaru echoed. They were all battle-hardened Jonin. They no longer had any expectations for this fairy tale that could come back alive after going deep into the enemy camp.
"Rentaro is someone who has made unparalleled contributions to our Kirigakure. He can't die like this. I think we should save him!" Akebino Jinin said after hesitating for a moment.
"Calm down!"
Biwa Jūzō shook his head. The more impulsive the other six were, the calmer he became.
Even he was aware of it.
He was influenced by Rentaro.
"We have to trust Rentaro. If we give him a little more time, he might take care of this matter. If we attack Kumogakure now, we might destroy his plan." Biwa Jūzō shook his head and said.
"Maybe in the few days you delay, Rentaro will already be cold." Suikazan Fuguki had different opinions. What he said were his true thoughts. He felt that if they continued to wait, what was waiting for them was Rentaro's corpse.
"This is just your guess!" Biwa Jūzō shook his head and said.
"This is only your guess!" Suikazan Fuguki stared at Biwa Jūzō with burning eyes and said, "Rentaro is our Kirigakure's future. Now that we know that he might be in danger and are still on the verge of being saved, what's the problem if we offend Kumogakure for the sake of Kirigakure's future?"
"How about this..."
Biwa Jūzō hesitated for a moment but still nodded. He felt that what Suikazan Fuguki said was very reasonable.
"Let's not discuss this here anymore. We will head back to the frontline battlefield now. No matter what happens there, we will be able to react and arrive on time." Biwa Jūzō said seriously.
"Sure!"
The other six said in unison. As they spoke, they stood up one after another. They had all decided on this matter and were ready to leave in a second.
The next moment.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen set off in unison.
One figure after another disappeared.
...

Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment.
Aoba had just walked into the dark compartment when he suddenly felt a piece of information coming from his head.
Instantly.
Aoba stood still on the spot.
The entire process lasted for more than ten minutes.
Then.
Aoba slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes sparkled with joy.
"I succeeded."
Aoba had just received information from the three advanced paper clones who had gone to the Country of Rain.
Through the earlier process.
He had successfully told the news to Hanzo.
As for what choice Hanzo would make in the end...
That wasn't something he cared about.
It didn't matter if Hanzo went to ambush Sunagakure or Konohagakure.
As long as Kumogakure moved.
The ninja world would become even more chaotic.
At that time.
This Ninja World War was caused by many factors.
It was not something that the Third Hokage could stop.
"Now, Sunagakure, Amegakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure are all involved."
"There is only Iwagakure left in the Five Major Ninja Village."
"I won't go to Iwagakure!"
Aoba stood in the middle of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment, silently thinking.
Iwagakure was a special place.
If he wanted to go to Iwagakure, you will pass a must-pass road, that is, the Kannabi Bridge.
It was the location of the famous Kannabi Bridge battle.
There was Gedo Statue under the ground of that place that had already been summoned by Uchiha Madara using Rinnegan.
Of course.
There was also the existence of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu!
For Aoba, that place was too dangerous, and it was not suitable to go to Iwagakure to cause trouble.
Moreover.
With Iwagakure's characteristics.
There was no need to do anything!
As long as the Ninja World War went on normally, Iwagakure would not be able to help but make a move.
Just like the original Third Ninja World War, Iwagakure could not be alone in the chaotic storm of the ninja world.
"Now that I am almost done here, I can only wait for Kumogakure's envoy to arrive." Aoba pinched his chin and said to himself.
This time, he used all his strength to create chaos in the ninja world. The purpose of this was not to start a war but to redefine new peace.
Step, step, step, step...
At this time.
Footsteps sounded outside of his compartment's door.
It was the leader of the prison guards who came in with this group of prisoners waiting to be interrogated.
"Good morning, cat-faced demon!"
The leader of the guards was now completely "blackened". Every time he brought people to Aoba's side, he would deliberately remind these people that the ninja who was waiting for them with a cat face mask was the famous cat-faced demon in recent times.
In a split second.
After hearing the name "cat-faced demon", the fear in the hearts of these few prisoners all emerged, and everyone's faces turned pale.
"..."
Aoba helplessly looked at the prison guard leader who seemed to be very happy in front of him, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"I sent you eleven people this time. They are all the people you need to interrogate today. I won't bother you again in the middle of your interrogation. I will come and take them away at night..."
The guard leader knew what to do now, and he gradually knew how to cooperate with Aoba to create a cat-faced demon's character.
In this situation.
There was no need to send the person to Aoba in batches.
That would only ruin the experience of these people.
After the guard leader thought about it, he decided to change the way in cooperating with Aoba.
In the future, he would give all the prisoners in the morning to Aoba, the cat-faced demon.
Let these prisoners experience Konohagakure Intelligence Division's sinister nature!
In this way...
In the future, these prisoners will have less hope.
Only...
During this period of time, the guard leader did not intend to bring the people who were sent to the prison to disturb Aoba.
First, it was to let these people experience the immersive experience under the fear of the cat-faced demon.
Second, he had to let the other interrogator ninjas do some things and could not throw all the tasks to the cat-faced demon alone.
Because of this.
The guard leader made this decision. In the future, he would arrange for the prisoner to be interrogated according to this method.
Then.
The guard leader waved to the guards behind him.
The guards immediately understood and tied all the waiting prisoners to be interrogated to Aoba's compartment's pillar.
At this time.
There were already more prisoners than the pillars.
As a result, there was a phenomenon of two people tied to the same pillar.
After the guards had tied up all the prisoners, they followed the guard leader and left.
All of a sudden.
Inside Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment.
Only Aoba and the eleven people were left.
These people looked at Aoba, their eyes trembling. No one dared to look straight at Aoba, all of them avoiding his gaze.
"Is this your first time?"
Aoba's dark eyes swept through the eyes of the people present through the cat-faced mask. His gaze landed on everyone, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.
"..."
No one dared to speak at the scene.
They did not dare to admit it or deny it.
They all knew that this interrogator ninja in front of them was the current famous cat-faced demon in Konohagakure.
Seeing that none of these prisoners spoke, Aoba took a step forward and walked toward these prisoners one step at a time.
In the following time.
Aoba touched the heads of these prisoners one by one.
What surprised him was...
Among these people, there was someone who he couldn't read his memories and belonged to the people who he had read before.
After touching everyone's heads, Aoba walked to the prisoner who he had once read his memory.
"This is your second time here, right?"
Aoba stared at the prisoner in front of him. When he asked this question, a thought flashed through his mind and he instantly pulled out the memories of the prisoner in front of him.
The time gap was about half a year ago.
At that time, this prisoner had stolen a lot of watermelons and was finally caught by a Genin, who was doing the novice mission.
"I... I don't..."
This prisoner instinctively wanted to explain, but when he met Aoba's gaze, he immediately swallowed his words.
"This time, was it still a watermelon?"
Aoba stared at the prisoner and asked indifferently. He was telling the person in front of him through the way he spoke. He still remembered him, and quibbling had no effect at all.
In a split second.
The person's face suddenly turned pale.
He had already realized.
This cat-faced demon had recalled him.
Before he committed this crime, he had heard the name of the cat-faced demon that everyone had spread around. He also thought of the experience he had experienced when he first came to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. At that time, it was a ninja wearing a cat face mask that interrogate him.
Only...
At that time, this ninja wearing a cat mask did not have the title of the cat-faced demon.
He had originally thought that the cat-faced demon would not remember him at all.
He had never expected that...
The cat-faced demon had actually recognized him in just a single glance, and even remembered what he had done.
It was too terrifying!
What a terrifying memory!
After Aoba said this, everyone in Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment was dumbfounded. Everyone looked at Aoba with fear in their eyes.
Looks like...
As long as he came once.
It wouldn't be so easy to hide it.
All of a sudden.
Everyone here had a new concept of the cat-faced demon.
"No... No... This time... it's not..."
The face of the person who was pointed out by Aoba for the second time instantly became extremely ugly. Almost every cell in his body was filled with fear for this matter.
"I don't care why you came here this time."
Aoba's faint voice sounded. As he spoke, he had already reached out his hand and began to untie the rope on this person.
"You are a second-time offender."
"Now, my rule is..."
"The lucky one who was chosen today is you!"
After saying this last sentence, Aoba had already untied the rope on this person and then dragged this person to the compartment's side.
This position just so happened to allow this person to appear in everyone's line of sight.
This way.
It was completely possible to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
In the following time.
Aoba's compartment can be heard a screamed again and again. Even the guard leader who occasionally passed by the compartment felt that something extremely cruel had happened inside!
...
Just as Aoba was interrogating these people in the compartment.
The entire ninja world was filled with undercurrents.
Most of the forces had already focused their attention on the meeting between Konohagakure and Kumogakure.
In two more days.
Kumogakure's envoy was about to enter Konohagakure again.
At this time.
The ninja world was maintaining a peace that anyone can feel will soon disappear...
All the major powers had their own plans. They knew that once Konohagakure and Kumogakure clashed, the entire ninja world would undergo a drastic change, and they would all make different preparations accordingly.
...
Time passed by.
Unconsciously.
Under the tight arrangements of the various major powers.
One day passed.
There was only one day left before Kumogakure's envoy entered Konohagakure.
There was less and less time left for them to deploy.
However.
Right at this moment.
In the compartment that no one noticed in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Aoba had just handed these eleven people to the guard leader of Konoha's Prison. He was cleaning up body remnants in the compartment, then prepare to leave the compartment and return to the Anbu dormitory.
Aoba's body suddenly trembled.
Two memories, along with the dissolution of the shadow clone, had already entered his mind.
Suddenly.
Aoba stopped what he was doing.
He slowly closed his eyes.
He began to carefully look at the information he received...
These two messages came from the two advanced paper clones who had sneaked into Root Base.
These two advanced paper clones had been canceled at the same time, bringing Aoba very important information.
"The location of Hari's imprisonment has been found!"
The corner of Aoba's mouth behind the cat-faced mask curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Now...
The key to the most crucial negotiation of Kumogakure's envoy.
It was already in his hands!
