Chapter 66: Chapter 67: Sakumo and Rin, Who Remained Outside the Pure Land
Pitter! Pitter patter!
The tower, which had been relatively quiet and rain-free, also rang with the noisy and disturbing sound of rain.
No, that wasn't rain, that was a huge amount of blood, the blood squeezed out of them, as if the sluice gate had been opened, pouring down from above in a drizzle.
Feeling the warmth of the blood soaking their bodies, the coldness instead eroded everyone's hearts.
Soon, as Hyuga Kumo released the restraint of the shadows, the spider web seemed to turn into a high-powered meat grinder.
Fragments of flesh mixed with blood fell down one after another, hitting the ground, hitting the walls, and hitting the feet of the Amegakure and Konoha people below.
Such a cruel method caused a mental impact even on these ninja who had seen big scenes.
"..."
Hanzō raised his head and looked at the black shadow above, and said in a deep voice: "You said that these people are 'rats' who have infiltrated the Land of Rain?"
Everything the other party was doing now was clearly to tell him that the Land of Rain had become a target of public criticism, and the great powers had set their sights on him.
More and more spies had infiltrated the Land of Rain, their target pointing directly at Amegakure and him, this legend.
This made Hanzō feel more fear than the empty words of the Konoha people.
"It's not just these." Hyuga Kumo's gaze swept over the Amegakure Village people behind Hanzō with a smile that was not a smile.
As if they heard something, the eyes of a few people in the crowd changed slightly.
"What do you mean by your so-called deal?"
Hanzō didn't notice Hyuga Kumo's hidden meaning and continued to ask.
"What Konoha can give you, we can give you too. What Konoha can't give you, we can still give you."
Hyuga Kumo looked down at the people below and smiled, "I just want to see Hanzō and Amegakure Village who once dared to resist the hegemony of the five great powers for peace and dignity."
Exchanging food with points was really a bargain, and it could easily meet the needs of Amegakure Village.
Of course, Hyuga Kumo wasn't so kind. He just needed to make the ninja world more chaotic and make the Land of Rain the center of the great powers' wars again.
He needed to prepare everything for building the "Hollow Realm" before Orochimaru found the "Space-Time Rift," including a large number of souls who died with resentment, and a way to absorb and control souls.
Hyuga Kumo didn't want the "Hollows" he created to turn around and help others attack him.
Therefore, he needed to cultivate one or two experimental subjects in advance, and Hyuga Kumo had already made a choice in his mind for the way to absorb and control souls and the candidates for the experimental subjects.
"The Six Paths tool 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' that appeared in the original movie 'Blood Prison' can absorb people's attachments and emotions, and it shouldn't be a problem to modify it."
Hyuga Kumo thought in his heart, "As for the candidates for the experimental subjects..."
"If I remember correctly, Hatake Sakumo and Nohara Rin seem to have failed to enter the Pure Land because of their attachments, and have been staying in the gap between the ninja world and the Pure Land."
If Hatake Sakumo and Nohara Rin were cultivated into "Hollows," what expressions would Kakashi-senpai and Obito have?
It felt like it would be very interesting.
At this moment, Hatake Kakashi didn't know that the guy above had already set his sights on his deceased father and friends.
"Tch."
Everyone, including Hatake Kakashi, was stunned after hearing Hyuga Kumo claim that he could give everything Konoha could give, and then someone laughed out loud as if they had heard a joke in such a depressing and bloody scene.
Because this guy's tone was too big, too arrogant.
Some things can't be bought with money.
Only Hatake Kakashi敏(mǐn)锐(ruì)察(chá)觉(jué)(acutely noticed) the word "we" in the other party's words, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
As expected, the other party was not alone, but an organization, a force.
That "monster" might be one of them.
"Hanzō-sama."
Thinking of this, Hatake Kakashi looked at Hanzō in front of him, and reminded in a deep voice: "You have to think clearly, whether to believe this guy from an unknown origin, or to believe Konoha and the Land of Fire."
Hearing this, Hanzō and the Amegakure people, who had been slightly touched, fell silent again. Hatake Kakashi's dead fish eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth, intending to let everyone take action.
But he saw Hanzō's eyes suddenly turn cold. It seemed that he had noticed his intention and said coldly: "After you leave Amegakure and the Land of Rain, I don't care what you do, but if you dare to take action here..."
As soon as these words came out, Hatake Kakashi frowned and was caught there for a moment.
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, I just want to let you understand."
Hyuga Kumo lowered his tone and said in a deep voice: "As long as those great power ninja are still running rampant in your territory, you, and even your families, will never have a future."
"As long as you are still deceiving yourselves, as long as people from other countries make that contemptuous chuckle when chatting and mentioning the word Land of Rain, you will not be able to live as a living person."
"As long as this weeping country is still weak and vulnerable on the map of the ninja world, your dignity as a human being will never exist."
"The land is shattered by the great powers, the villages are swallowed by the flames of war, the relatives are involved in the slaughter, the farmland is destroyed, the houses are burned. After each war, all that is left for you is devastation and mountains of corpses."
Speaking of this, Hyuga Kumo paused and asked Hanzō and others again: "Hanzō, tell me now, can you, and the people behind you, accept such a result?"
The sky outside the tower was suddenly torn apart, and the lightning dyed everything in front of them white.
Only Hyuga Kumo's deep shadow was cast down, shrouding the Konoha and Amegakure people below.
Boom!
Accompanied by the thunder, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, more and more intense.
Hyuga Kumo's words touched the nerves of the Amegakure people,引(yǐn)动(dòng)(stirring) the most violent and restless hatred in their hearts.
Unwillingness, anger, and hatred seemed to have a实体(shítǐ)(physical form), flowing inch by inch through the blood vessels in their bodies.
The great powers had really never treated them as human beings. When the war ended, when the great powers sat at the negotiating table to divide the利益(lìyì)(benefits) and sign peace treaties, the suffering of the Land of Rain was often deliberately ignored or downplayed.
The great powers were only concerned about the balance of power and the distribution of benefits between each other. The "function" of the Land of Rain as a buffer zone and battlefield was preserved, and no one cared about the death of its people.
The resentment and despair in the hearts of the people of the Land of Rain, like the continuous rain, continued to accumulate, but there was nowhere to release it. This experience of being used, abandoned, and ignored was a breeding ground for extreme ideas and resistance movements.
Just like the Hanzō of the past.
Just like the Akatsuki of the past.
Just like the "Pain" of the future.
"Hanzō-sama, he's right!"
Shinda, who was beside Hanzō, had bloodshot eyes, and finally summoned the courage to look at Hanzō and said in a deep voice: "We want to live. Living is very important, but we want to live as living people with dignity and freedom."
"What we want is not the great powers' condescending pity, nor is it living on our knees, but the dignity of being human, the peace of the Land of Rain. You have already proven that all of this needs to be fought for, it can't be begged for!"
"I would rather die in the battle against the great powers than become cannon fodder for those bastards!"
As soon as these words came out, other Amegakure ninja also spoke up, shouting: "Hanzō-sama! Cooperating with Konoha is like seeking skin from a tiger!"
"Hanzō-sama! The great powers have no credibility at all!"
"Hanzō-sama! Please continue to lead us in battle!"
Damn it, we can't wait any longer!
Hatake Kakashi looked at the figure above, his lifeless dead fish eyes gradually tightened and solidified, and he put his hand behind his back and made a gesture.
The meaning of this gesture was…
Prepare to take action.
