Chapter 253 Yahiko's Small Goal

   "Hanzo has not returned to Yuyin Village since the battle with us, and no orders have come."

   The green eyes flashed a strange color:

   "And none of Hanzo's ninjas have come back. I checked it out from Yuyin Village to the location of the previous battle, but there is no trace of the battle!"

   Looking at the wonderful expressions of the three of Yahiko, the corners paused and added:

   "However, there was a large lake on the road where I remembered that it was originally flat. I dived into it, and I can be sure that it was formed not long ago!"

   "...Could it be!"

  The three of Yahiko had guessed in an instant.

   Yahiko recalled that when the cold air that Satoru helped him gather disappeared, it seemed that Hanzo was leading the people to retreat.

   "Could it be that at that time... Senior Brother Wu went after Hanzo!"

   Yahiko murmured in disbelief:

   "That's Hanzo! Could it be that Senior Brother Wu silently killed him and so many Yuyin elites?"

The    corners are very familiar with the environment near Yuyin Village, so it can be seen that there is no lake there.

   But ordinary people, who will notice that the rain country is full of water, when will there be a lake?

   There are not even civilians around there!

   Based on what they have learned, the only one who has the strength and the time to match is Satoru!

   "Let's use 'missing' to define Hanzo for now... But there is another situation that many people in Yuyin Village didn't notice."

  Kakuto's face is even more weird:

   "I met people from Konoha Anbu in Yuyin Village."

   "Konoha Anbu!"

   Yahiko frowned:

   "Kakuto-san, are you sure it's Anbu, not Danzo's root?"

   "Yes, Anbu's mask is slightly different from the root. Most people don't know it, but I know very well that Satoru-sama also served as Anbu."

The    corners nodded, and then the tone was full of incredible:

   "But they also seem to be secretly inquiring about Hanzo, and the Anbu I noticed, after learning that Hanzo had disappeared, blurted out in shock..."

   "Is Hanzo also dead!"

   "'Also' dead?"

   Yahiko's eyes widened.

   Konoha Anbu is an elite ninja of Konoha, if it is not a strong man like Kakuto, he will be followed without being discovered.

   And can be mentioned by Konoha Anbe and Hanzo together, and who is the one who questioned death?

   "Could it be..."

   The four looked at each other for a while and said a name at the same time.

   "Danzo!"

   "Senior Wu... You won't kill Danzo too, will you?"

   Yahiko rubbed his forehead fiercely:

   "It's crazy, it's crazy, Senior Brother Wu... um, but if you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible."

"why?"

   Nagato looked at Yahiko's thoughtful expression, and still felt incredible:

   "Danzo is a senior executive of Konoha, and an old comrade-in-arms of Senior Brother Wu's father. He just... killed him so neatly?!"

   "Nagato, although Mr. Kakuto said that the relationship between Danzo and Senior Brother Wu is not very good, Senior Brother Wu chose to do it at this time..."

   Yahiko squeezed his fist fiercely:

   "Don't forget what Hanzo said before retreating!"

   "Which sentence... ah!"

   Nagato wakes up:

   "He said that Danzo cooperated with him to assassinate the three generations of Hokage!"

   "That's right!"

The    corner also suddenly realized:

   "This makes sense. Lord Wu went after Hanzo first. He must have obtained evidence from Hanzo before he went to kill Danzo. Danzo's behavior is undoubtedly a traitor to the village!"

   "That's why Senior Brother Wu killed him neatly... Danzo is courting his own death!"

  Xiao Nan's eyes showed pleasure, when Danzo attacked Akatsuki's team, he just wanted to take her as a hostage!

   If the four of them had not been vigilant, maybe he would have succeeded!

  Konan couldn't imagine how dark and despicable he was with Danzo and Hanzo. If he was taken as a hostage to blackmail Yahiko and Nagato, what would the two of them do.

   "That's right, but Konoha's side clearly targeted Hanzo, indicating that they now suspect that Hanzo and Danzo have a conflict... This is a good coincidence."

The    corners all smiled coldly:

   "If all this was arranged by Satoru-sama, I wouldn't be surprised. No wonder he used the lake to cover up the battle marks. The Konoha Anbe gang would never have thought of it anyway."

   "Huh... In this way, our crisis should be considered lifted."

   Yahiko let out a sigh of relief. The news was simply too shocking. The two ninja giants disappeared in a short period of time, and they were probably planted in the same hands.

   "Then, next, we must insist on our actions-even if there are only a few of us, peaceful negotiations cannot stop. Without Hanzo's leadership, Yuyin Village should not be hostile to us anymore."

   "Oh? Chief, now Yuyin Village can be said to have lost all its elites and is vulnerable... Haven't you thought about taking over Yuyin Village?"

The    corner looked at the large boxes on the ground, and there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes:

"That's Yuyin Village, where Hanzo used to be! In the last war, Yuyin Village, which was just in front of the Three Kingdoms! If you master it, how much money will there be... Well, I mean, how big will it be for the organization's goals? s help!"

  “…”

   Yahiko was silent.

   "Yahiko, what Mr. Kakuto said is not unreasonable. If it is based on Yuyin Village, you can use the official identity and use Akatsuki's goal as the governing program to gradually change the entire country!"

  Thinking about it for a moment, although Nagato wanted to spit out some words in Kokaku's words, he had to admit that this was indeed a good idea.

   "If you come to take charge of Yuyin Village, we can directly conduct peaceful negotiations with the three major countries!"

   "... Nagato, not yet."

   After a long time, Yahiko finally spoke, his eyes were filled with a kind of firmness, which made Nagato couldn't help but be stunned.

   "Although Akatsuki's influence is not small now, it is not enough to replace Hanzo. Even if he dies, we are now in control of Yuyin Village, and we are just taking advantage of it."

   "We will use our own efforts to show everyone that we can bring hope to this country and let everyone know that we are not usurpers who seize power by force, but innovators of the country."

   Yahiko's eyes became brighter and brighter, and as he spoke, Nagato, Konan, and even Kakuto all showed a slight smile.

   "Yahiko, we will always support you, do what you want."

  Xiaonan couldn't help holding Yahiko's hand, causing the impassioned boy's face to suddenly turn red:

   "Uh... am I being too idealistic?"

   "No, Yahiko, you are right. If we use force to seize power, what is the difference between us and Hanzo."

   Nagato took a step back quietly, and also greeted the inexplicable Kakuto together:

   "Then, let's go get the food and go first."

   "Huh? It's not dinner time yet?"

   "Mr. Jiaodu, you are really... Vientiane Tianyin!"

"what!!"
