The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 117 Peace

Chapter 117 Peace

"Who said you were going to attack Amegakure?" The Third Hokage glared at Rasa with annoyance.

Although it was just a tentative remark, Rasa's pathetic attitude still made the Third Hokage despise him.

How can someone like him be ranked alongside the Shadow of a nation?

Rasa felt no shame at being looked down upon; instead, he was relieved by the Third Hokage's words and hurriedly asked, "So, what does the Hokage mean—?"

"Uchiha An!" the Third Hokage declared directly, "This rogue ninja is the root of all evil!"

"The ninja world is in such turmoil now, all because of this rogue ninja."

"This person's crimes are heinous and unforgivable!"

"The Land of Wind needs to kill Uchiha An first to set an example of peace."

"I see!" Rasa suddenly realized, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he frowned and began to consider the pros and cons of the matter. Seeing Rasa's indecisive appearance, the Third Hokage was also very displeased, but he still patiently continued, "We're not asking Sunagakure to attack the Land of Rain. We just want you to hunt down a Konoha rogue ninja."

"Uchiha An was a rogue ninja; it would be perfectly reasonable for anyone to kill him."

"This is what the world of ninjas is like."

The Third Hokage spoke simply and directly, but Rasa's gaze toward him became even more hostile. He stated bluntly, "Uchiha An has now joined the Akatsuki organization and is no longer an ordinary rogue ninja."

"If we go after him, wouldn't that anger the Akatsuki?"

"If this triggers another war between the two countries, what difference would it make from us directly attacking the Land of Rain?"

"The Hokage is a master of political strategy; could he be setting a trap for us here?"

"You—" The Third Hokage's beard bristled with rage. He gripped his pipe tightly, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed the pipe down on the table and roared, "Have you ever seen a ninja village start a war without authorization over the death of a single ninja?"

"Besides, the Land of Rain is just a tiny place; how could they possibly withstand the drain of two consecutive wars?"

"Uh—" Upon seeing the Third Hokage's outburst, Rasa immediately deflated, forcing a sheepish smile as he said, "It seems that's indeed the case; I hadn't considered it carefully."

"Hmph!" The Third Hokage snorted coldly and said in a muffled voice, "Uchiha An only left here last night. He still has a few days before he returns to the Land of Rain. You can take this opportunity to send people to intercept and kill him, so that he cannot return to the Land of Rain."

"If you do it cleanly and clean up the mess, who will know you were the killer?"

"You don't even need to actually kill Uchiha An. Just keeping him occupied and preventing him from bothering us is enough."

"Is this alright now?"

"If Sunagakure can't even do this much, then you don't deserve to be called one of the Five Great Nations!"

"Alright, alright!" Rasa immediately beamed. "Then it's settled. We'll keep a close eye on Uchiha An and make sure he doesn't come to Konoha to interfere with your operations again."

After the two agreed, Rasa immediately wrote a letter, which was sent from Konoha to the Sand Village's position. The letter was to be relayed back to the Land of Wind, where the Daimyo would make the final decision.

Meanwhile, Uchiha An and his group headed towards the Land of Rain.

But as An walked, she veered off course.

A few days later, when Hiruko looked at the huge "grass" character written on the village gate, his face darkened.

"Didn't you say you were going to the Land of Rain? How did you end up in the Land of Grass?"

"?" An looked surprised, pressing her hands to her face, making her cheeks flat. "Oh dear, I'm terrible with directions! I led you the wrong way!"

"Hmph!" Hiruko snorted coldly, turned around and left. "Anyway, the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain are next to each other, not far apart. I can go there myself. If you want to play, you can play here slowly."

"Hey, don't say that! It'll make me sad!" An stood still, waving her arms and saying in a dramatic tone, "To celebrate the addition of a new member to the Uchiha clan, I specially selected a gift for you."

"This is the location of the immortal body I carefully selected!"

"What?!" Hiruko's heart skipped a beat, and sure enough, he couldn't move his feet.

He turned abruptly, stood in front of An, and growled in a low voice, "You better not lie to me, or else—"

"Oh, you'll see if it's true or not when you see it." An smiled, not taking Hiruko's anger seriously at all. "Let me tell you, there are generally two types of immortal bodies. One is the Senju clan, which is now extinct."

"The other one is the Uzumaki clan—" At this point, An held up her hand, covering her mouth with the back of her hand in a mysterious manner, and whispered, "They're the Uzumaki, from the same clan as Nagato, the leader of our Akatsuki!"

"Since the destruction of Uzushio Village, the Uzumaki clan has scattered like stars, and no one knows where they have gone. There should not be many left in the world."

"It's quite a coincidence that a member of the Uzumaki clan ended up in the Land of Grass and was used as a medical kit by the people here."

"Tsk tsk, what a waste!" An smacked his lips, looking disdainful.

Hiruko ignored all of this, assuming that he was just acting crazy again, preoccupied only with his immortal body, and immediately strode towards the gate of the Land of Grass.

"Since the person is here, all we need to do is sneak in, locate their position, and then kidnap them tonight, right?"

"Just like Kakashi did that time."

"No need for all that trouble." An skipped along behind Hiruko, grinning, "This Land of Grass is much weaker than Konoha. We don't need to wait until night; we can just rob it directly. I doubt anyone in the Land of Grass can stop us."

57

"But we need to agree on this beforehand: the big one is yours, the small one is mine, one for each of us, fair and square, so don't try to take more than one!"

"Hmph!" Hiruko snorted coldly, not arguing with An for the sake of the immortal body. "As long as I get my share, that's fine."

Now that the Ninja World War is underway, all countries are involved, and the Land of Grass is no exception.

Although they were not qualified to participate in the war, the Land of Earth's passage through the country caused damage to the Land of Grass no less than that caused by war.

These Iwagakure ninjas were like locusts, looting wherever they went, but their small country didn't dare utter a sound and could only pretend not to see them.

Not only that, as a small country, they also had to provide strategic materials such as medicines to the Land of Earth, which made the people of the Land of Grass suffer even more.

In such a tense environment, the sudden arrival of two men dressed in Akatsuki uniforms immediately made the gatekeeper nervous.

Upon spotting the two from afar, the gatekeeper hurriedly sent someone to report to his leader. Then, nervously watching the two approach, he mustered his courage and shouted, "This is Kusagakure Village! What are you Akatsuki doing here?"

An grinned and chuckled. Without another word, he activated Susanoo, raised his massive foot, and kicked it towards the gate of Kusagakure.

"What are you doing?"

"Robbery!"

"Hand over the beautiful girl!"
