Only then did Danzo become satisfied, after all, he was still waiting to pick up the pieces afterward and get the Rinnegan.
Thus, he nodded and said, "Then I wish Lord Hanzo a victorious start."
After speaking, he secretly reminded, "I heard that not long ago, Lord Hanzo had contact with the Uchiha?"
Hanzo said indifferently, "Yes, over at the Uchiha side, the offered price was not low, I was also tempted."
Danzo's expression immediately darkened, planning to move Hanzo emotionally and reason with him, "Lord Hanzo, don't be fooled by the fact that Uchiha is a founding clan of Konoha, but they are arrogant and domineering by nature, and they haven't even mixed into a single high position in Konoha. Cooperating with them still needs careful consideration."
Hanzo glanced at Danzo again, if it were before, he would surely make an issue out of this, extorting a good amount from Danzo.
'Doesn't your Konoha love internal strife? Then fight, the fiercer the better.'
As long as in the end he got the benefits, it was fine.
But now it was different, Akatsuki over there seemed to have ideas about Danzo, whether Danzo could survive this time was still a problem.
Compared to cooperating with a dead man, although cooperating with Uchiha also had problems, like that Uchiha Madara perhaps harboring some ill will toward the Uchiha.
'But at least, it is more reliable than Danzo, isn't it?'
Only, on the surface, Hanzo couldn't say that.
He only said, "Lord Danzo, you know, the Land of Rain is resource-poor, I only want to gain more benefits."
"You might as well tell me, based on the original foundation, what additional benefits you can offer?"
Danzo cursed inwardly, 'Sure enough, all are money-grubbing types.'
He pondered for a while and said, "After this ninja world war, Konoha should also elect the next Hokage. If Lord Hanzo assists, I am confident that the one becoming Hokage will be my man."
"At that time, Konoha can, as an ally, protect the Land of Rain from the attacks of Sunagakure and Iwagakure."
"If Lord Hanzo does not believe it, I can sign a written agreement right now."
Danzo was indeed planning this way, thus he dared to make this written agreement.
But there was one thing he did not say, at that time he could use the Land of Rain to continue the war against Iwagakure.
Whether as a pretext for war or shifting the battlefield to the Land of Rain, it would be a very good choice.
Therefore, the Land of Rain could not have an organization like Akatsuki, which attempted to obtain peace through negotiations.
If by chance Onoki hesitated like Sarutobi Hiruzen and agreed to the Land of Rain's peace request, then things would become troublesome.
After Hanzo heard Danzo's words, not to mention, although he knew it was painting a big pie, his heart was still slightly moved.
If it weren't for knowing that Danzo might not return alive, he might really have hesitated a bit.
But it was only a bit of hesitation, Madara had already said, the Land of Rain was now under his protection, with such a great Buddha supporting him, what was there to fear?
Of course, on the surface, he still showed a tempted expression, "I will consider it, Lord Danzo's proposal is indeed hard to refuse."
"Looks like Lord Danzo's relationship with Uchiha is not very good."
Danzo did not speak, only snorted coldly.
'Uchiha, just as teacher Tobirama said, are innately evil.'
Such a clan, he wished to eliminate as soon as possible, otherwise, too dangerous.
Especially in recent years, under Orochimaru's research, he discovered that Uchiha's Sharingan could even suppress Senju Hashirama's cells.
This power must be controlled by him.
Once everything matured, he also wanted to try getting some Hashirama cells transplanted into himself.
Danzo quickly finished the remaining food, wiped his mouth, "Lord Hanzo, when is your agreed meeting time with Akatsuki?"
Hanzo spoke calmly, "Three days later..."
———
"Three days later?"
After making a trip to the Land of Wind and transporting a batch of goods from Sara's side, Uchiha Obito appeared at Akatsuki's base.
At this time, Madara had led everyone out again to mediate conflicts, Obito was being received by the old man responsible for guarding the warehouse.
After hearing the accurate time, he said calmly, "I know, Danzo's life countdown has three days left."
Kakuzu was uninterested in this, just stared at the thousands of additional machines, eyes glowing.
He couldn't help but start calculating, 'One hundred machines one hundred million ryo, one thousand machines one billion, two thousand machines two billion...'
Thus he didn't go anywhere now, just squatted here, guarding these machines.
Obito looked at Kakuzu's appearance and lost the mood to say more, only said, "Tell Madara, I am already ready here, in three days, I will bring people."
"Goodbye."
After speaking, the space around Obito twisted, and the whole person disappeared.
Kakuzu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Like a ghost."
"I would rather meet Senju Hashirama than meet this kind of person."
"Luckily not an enemy, otherwise, wouldn't he suddenly appear when I'm not paying attention and steal my money?"
"My heart isn't strong enough to withstand this kind of shock."
———
After a trip to the Land of Rain, Obito returned again to Roran in the Land of Wind, to Sara's territory.
At this time, Rin and Sara were in a spacious underground room, purely controlling the power of the Dragon Vein, turning it into chakra arms for battle.
Purely using the Dragon Vein's power, Rin was not Sara's opponent, soon being overwhelmed by Sara's chakra arms that moved as naturally as her own limbs.
Obito quietly watched from the side.
Rin was now also a perfect Jinchuriki, able to manifest a chakra coat, and herself had extremely strong chakra control ability, but in terms of controlling the Dragon Vein, she was still inferior to Sara.
Sure enough, even among perfect Jinchuriki, there are highs and lows.
The same half of the Dragon Vein's power, Rin only skillfully controlled it, but still needed effort to control.
Sara probably only needed a single thought, and the Dragon Vein would automatically protect her.
A bit similar to Gaara's sand.
Sure enough, the most important thing for a Jinchuriki is heart-to-heart communication, and Sara's special relationship with the Dragon Vein was something ordinary people could not achieve.
No wonder that, despite being just an ordinary person before, she could make a name as the Purple Robe Dragon Queen.
This title really was not exaggerated at all.
After fighting for a while, the two stopped exchanging blows.
Rin exclaimed, "Queen Sara, you are really amazing, today I feel my control over the Dragon Vein's power has improved again."
Sara just smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not controlling it, it should be called fusion."
"Rin, thank you, the other half of the Dragon Vein's consciousness told me, being with you has saved many people, it is very happy."
Rin suddenly realized that she was still very far away from Sara.
The Dragon Vein, unlike ordinary tailed beasts, only transmitted simple emotions, she couldn't understand what these emotions meant.
But Sara could understand.
At this moment, Sara had already turned her head and looked at Obito, "You're back? How did it go?"
Obito smiled and said, "Already understood, the specific time is three days later. These three days, I'll need to stay at your place for a while."
Sara laughed, "Then let's take you all to tour Roran, every time it's always hurrying here and there."
Kakashi appeared next to Obito, complaining, "This S-rank mission to stop the Purple Robe Dragon Queen and Sunagakure from jointly attacking Konoha, really feels like tourism."
Obito shrugged, "No choice, this is the power of connections."
