From the night of genocide to the strongest

After Kakashi left, the Third Hokage stood up, turned to look at the drizzle outside, and fell into deep thought.

'Hanzo, what on earth are you planning?'

Over the past few years, the Rain Country has been in a state of seclusion all year round, and the news that can be spread is extremely rare. The spies sent by Konoha have basically disappeared into the sea without a trace.

However, I still got some not very useful information.

It is said that Hanzo has not shown up for a long time. Instead, he claims to be a god and rules the Hidden Rain Village and even the Kingdom of Rain.

And the Daimyo of the Country of Rain, who had basically been reduced to a puppet, did not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

'Being yourself a god, making a name for yourself, stealing the country, has your desire for power and ambition grown to this point?'

'Now that you are accepting rebellious ninjas from other villages, Hanzo, are you preparing to start a new ninja war?'

The Third Hokage took a deep breath from his cigarette and lamented that there was another undercurrent in the ninja world.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a steady and slow knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man of medium height, wearing a Jonin vest and with black hair tied into a pineapple head walked in.

Nara Shikaku!

The current patriarch of the Nara family, the squad leader of the Konoha jounin class, and the Hokage's advisor.

Seeing the visitor, the Third Hokage smiled: "Shikaku, it seems that there is something important to report."

"Yes!" Nara Shikaku nodded, handed over a scroll, and said solemnly: "Under the secret protection of our ANBU ninjas, Tatsuna has now arrived in Konoha safely!"

Dazuna is just an ordinary old man. Without Konoha's secret protection, he would have died on the way, killed by the ninjas sent by Kado. He would have never had the chance to cross the long road to Konoha to release the so-called C-level Task.

"Well!" The Third Hokage took the scroll and asked casually before opening it: "Then what is Tazuna doing now?"

Nara Shikaku replied with a serious face: "As soon as Tatsuna arrived in the village, he went into the tavern to eat and drink. He seemed to be deliberately getting drunk."

Um!?

The Third Hokage frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Tatsuna was the person they selected. He was able to think of coming to Konoha to issue the commission, which was also the result of their secret guidance.

After all, Dazna is a small country like the Country of Waves, and there are very few people who have not succumbed to the coercion of Cardo. In their observation, Dazna is an old man who is very responsible and courageous for the country.

It was for this reason that they chose Dazna.

The Third Hokage originally had some appreciation for Tazuna, but he didn't expect that this guy would go out to eat, drink, and spend money as soon as he came to Konoha, seemingly completely forgetting the country's crisis.

"Shikaku, analyze his actions[ www.boquge.info]."

Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the Third Hokage did not show it and instead asked about Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and replied: "He did it on purpose. He wanted to appear as an old man who came from a small country, had never seen the world, was not familiar with the world, was addicted to alcohol, and didn't have much brains. Such a character, So that if he is found to have lied about the mission level, the village will not be too angry with him."

"Then why did he do it?"

"He has no money!"

Nara Shikaku responded bluntly: "Although Tazuna is a famous bridge builder in the Land of Waves, most of his property has been spent on building the bridge connecting the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire. Now the entire Kingdom of Waves

Basically, most of the citizens no longer dare to resist Kado. He came to Konoha and did not get support from anyone. It can even be said that this is his desperate move."

"As far as we know, his current money can only barely pay for the C-level mission, so he wants to take a gamble, bet on the reputation of the village outside, and bet that the village will continue to carry out the mission even after the lie is exposed."

(In the original work, the Mission Chapter of the Kingdom of Waves clearly states that after Inari's adoptive father Kesha was killed by Cardo in front of the people, no one in the entire Kingdom of Waves dared to resist Cardo except Dazna.

.)

(Lying about the mission, the original statement is that there is really no money. What the official said is subject to the official settings. If it has not been said, then make a reasonable guess that is consistent with the world view and plot context. Of course, his practice of lying about the mission is indeed black.

Dot, cannot be washed.)

"A cunning old guy, but he can also be considered a patriotic old guy."

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette and commented calmly.

Ninja villages in various countries have strict classification standards and assessments for the grading of task levels. How could it be possible just because the employer says it is what it is?

The act of lying about the task level is irresponsible for the lives of the ninjas in the village. Generally, if an employer dares to do this, once discovered, they will be blacklisted from the ninja village.

If it is more serious, such as causing casualties to the Ninja Village, they may even be hunted to death by ninjas!

Tatsuna's behavior is making fun of the lives of the Konoha village ninjas, there is no doubt about it.

However, the Third Hokage, who has known the inside story for a long time, will naturally not refuse this task, but will find ways to obtain the maximum benefit from it.

Although it is easy to add icing on the cake, it is even more difficult to provide help in times of need.

"Let's put the matter of Tatsuna aside for now." The Third Hokage looked at Shikaku and asked in a deep voice: "Shikaku, what do you think of Kado?"

Nara Shikaku's eyes moved slightly, and he pondered for a moment: "Kado's apparent identity is the president of the shipping company Kado. His job is ocean transportation and international trade. He secretly uses his position to use the mafia and ninjas to smuggle

Drugs and contraband, making huge profits.

"It is said that Cardo has certain connections in the coastal cities of various major countries, but the timing of his appearance in the Country of Waves was too coincidental. He suddenly appeared in the Country of Waves a year ago and transported all the maritime traffic in the Country of Waves.

Chu is under control, I suspect he is the black glove of some big force!"

The Third Hokage's eyes darkened: "You mean Kirigakure!"

"Yes! The Third Generation!" Nara Shikaku nodded and continued: "The Kingdom of Water is an island country outside the mainland, isolated overseas. After the Fourth Mizukage Yagura came to power, he carried out blood succession to the Kirigakure Village.

Due to the policy of extermination, internal strife continued throughout the village. It is said that the Daimyos of the Land of Water were assassinated many times by unknown persons. Affected by this, the entire Land of Water has been implementing a policy of isolation and closed all trade ports!"

"When Cardo appeared in the Land of Waves, it was the fourth Mizukage Yagura who resigned from the position of Mizukage due to physical discomfort. What happened soon after!"

A year ago, Kirigakure suddenly announced that the fourth Mizukage was unwell and was no longer suitable to hold the position of Mizukage.

As a result, the power of the entire Kirigakure Village fell on the sole elder Yuanshi who had existed since the first Mizukage.

It is worth mentioning that although Kirigakure Village still has not elected a new Fifth Mizukage, the elder Genshi has promoted a young female jounin named Mei Terumi to be the jounin squad leader and chief of staff.

Judging from the actions of the Kirigakure elder, if nothing unexpected happens, the next generation Mizukage will be Terumi Mei.
