Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 270

The Taira clan and the Kinoshita clan helped Hanzo establish the village, but due to the uneven distribution of benefits, the two clans attempted to rebel against Hanzo, but failed.

Thus, the ninja clan gradually transformed into a clan with a semi-merchant guild model.

They had also dealt with Xiaoshang Association before, so they could be considered half a rival.

But now, after the Xiaoshang Association was destroyed.

As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

Their chamber of commerce was also being targeted, but because the people Hanzo had trained in the chamber were useless and hadn't accomplished anything, no action was taken against the two major families.

"Hanzo sent someone to hint that if I was willing to contribute people this time, he would be willing to accept our clan again and include us in his trusted ranks." The head of the Taira clan approached the Kinoshita clan.

The clan chief of the Kinoshita clan was an old man in his forties or fifties, leaning on a cane in the courtyard, enjoying the rain outside.

The head of the Ping clan was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, and he was now on the verge of death.

Seeing that the Kinoshita clan head continued to drink tea and enjoy the rain without showing any emotion, the Taira clan head became even more anxious: "Hey. It's one thing for us to have some minor business disagreements on a regular basis. But you're not going to be hiding something now, are you?!"

"worry about what."

The clan chief finally spoke:

"You know Hanzo's character. Twenty years ago, I might have believed you. But now..."

"Alas! In the end, things have changed and people are no longer the same."

I knew this day would come when Hanzo intervened and crushed the Akatsuki Trading Company's growth.

"In short, if you send men, I'll send men. If you don't send men, then I'll..."

"We won't go." The Kinoshita clan chief interrupted the Taira clan chief, raising his head and revealing a cunning look in his eyes: "If we go, all the family disciples and guests we've trained might become cannon fodder."

"Even if we don't go, as long as we don't move, Hanzo won't make a move against us."

Unless he completely cuts off the trade routes to Amegakure.

"That's right! You old fox are so clever!" The Ping clan chief nodded, finally letting out a sigh of relief: "However..."

"If those kids from the Akatsuki can really defeat Hanzo, Amegakure might finally be able to be reborn."

“Hey! I never said that. Be careful, the walls may have ears,” said the clan chief Kinoshita.

"You old fox!" the Taira clan chief said angrily, then ordered the clan's Jonin guarding him to inform the clan that he and the Kinoshita clan chief would enjoy the rain together.

The other two families mobilized their entire members.

As a family of pure ninjas, they don't have to go through so many detours.

One word: Go!

As the two clans that were close to Hanzo, they went all out, fearing that the other clan would steal the credit.

When everyone had assembled at the village entrance, a total of 1,200 ninja soldiers, including the Rain Village ninja who had already set off, stood on the flat ground outside the South Gate Bridge.

In front of Hanzo lies Amegakure and an inland lake created by rainwater, with a wide bridge connecting them to Amegakure.

At that moment, a Rain Village ninja appeared ahead; it was Ji Yu.

"Lord Hanzo, the other two families are unwilling to send anyone. All the village's fighting force is here!"

For a moment, there was no sound in the air except for the sound of rain hitting everything.

Ji Yu was soaked in the rain and dared not speak.

"I understand." Hanzo finally spoke, turning to look at his subordinates who were willing to help him eliminate this reactionary force, somewhat moved.

"Today is a day of life and death for our Amegakure!"

"We cannot allow our village to fall into the hands of wicked youths! Therefore, we have no choice but to fight!!"

The heads of the Minamoto and Okada clans, along with one of Hanzo's deputies, roared:

"War! War!"

World War I!!!

......

The oath-taking ceremony in Amegakure ended abruptly.

Pingshi Gorge.

This area, located about twelve kilometers outside Amegakure, was already swarmed with Amegakure ninjas.

Everyone looked somewhat uneasy, but with the commander standing in front of them, they were determined to leave the vanguard of the reactionary forces here and wait for the main force to arrive.

At that moment, the captain of the four members of the Rain Hidden Group's sensory team opened his eyes: "They're here!"

Commander Yuyin stood in a sheltered spot, picked up his binoculars, and looked ahead.

Then, a ninja squad appeared on the long, winding rocky path.

The ninja squad all wore Amegakure headbands with a horizontal line drawn on their heads.

"Pass down the order: prepare for war."

"Yes!"

......

Yahiko, Nagato, and the others who were walking ahead also saw the figures of the Amegakure ninjas appearing in front of them.

Yahiko raised his right hand to indicate that he should stop.

Subsequently, Yahiko and the commanding Jonin of Amegakure stepped forward individually to conduct preliminary negotiations before declaring war.

"It's been a long time, President Yahiko."

"I never imagined that after only half a month apart, you would become a true traitor."

The commander of Amegakure was a young man, neither fat nor thin, with a ninja sword slung across his back.

At this moment, a cold smile appeared on his face:

"Isn't this something you planned all along?"

Yahiko took a deep breath, standing about thirty meters away from the Jonin, raised his head, and his eyes were resolute:

"I only want the people of Amegakure and the people of the Land of Rain to live a better life!"

"But Hanzo... Hanzo killed our faith, killed our dreams..."

At this point, Yahiko clenched his fists, his fingertips turning white: "And he also killed our most important comrade!"

"In this battle, we must kill Hanzo and overthrow this unequal ruling force!"

“Ridiculous,” said the Amegakure Jonin. “If it weren’t for Lord Hanzo, how could your Akatsuki Trading Company have grown so powerful?”

"In the end, she's just a woman."

"If you are willing to surrender, Lord Hanzo said that he can satisfy you with as many women as you want."

Furthermore, the Chamber of Commerce can allow you to continue operating, how about that?

"Just... a woman?" Yahiko's eyes were filled with tears, and his lips trembled.

"That's right. If you want women, and you have power and influence, what woman can't you get?"

"Not to mention it's just one..."

"I won't allow you to insult Xiao Nan!"

Yahiko was furious and charged straight at the young Jonin, interrupting his speech.

Both sides' backers were blocked, making this a 1v1 battle between generals.

The fist passed through the raindrops. The young Jonin stepped back slightly, dodging Yahiko's punch, and then spun around and kicked Yahiko away.

Yahiko reached out to defend in time, blocking the young Jonin's heavy kick with both hands. He flew out and landed on the rain-soaked stone ground, leaving two distinct ripples.

As soon as he steadied himself and looked up, he saw the young Jonin in front of him draw his ninja sword and charge forward.

Yahiko didn't dare to use his fists and chakra to block like Shirahoshi and Tsunade did.

He took out a kunai from his pocket and clashed it with the ninja sword instantly!

"Chairman Yahiko, it seems you're no ordinary ninja." The young Jonin exchanged several weapon blows with Yahiko and discovered that his taijutsu skills were no less than those of a Jonin in the village.

After they had created some distance between them, the young Jonin planted his ninja sword in the ground and formed hand seals, saying:

"Next."

"This is no longer a children's game!"

Yahiko wouldn't give the young Jonin a chance to form hand seals and charged again.

"Tch!" The young Jonin had to admit that Yahiko's taijutsu was just too fast; even if the technique was completed, he might still get injured.

He could only cancel the hand seals, grab his ninja sword, and charge forward again.

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

At this moment, the young Jonin seized the opportunity, took out a kunai with explosive tags that he had prepared in advance, and threw it out!

"Yahiko! Watch out!" Nagato shouted immediately, worried that Yahiko might not have seen the explosive tag.

"Damn brat, that's a foul!" The young Jonin ignored all that and detonated the explosives as soon as he reached the target area: "Crack!"

boom! ! !

After landing and creating a splash, the young Jonin planted his ninja sword in the ground and began forming hand seals.

After completing the last seal, he said, "It's over."

"Magic - Mist and Rain Technique!"

This is a water-style technique, and also a water-style barrier-type illusion technique developed from water-style techniques.

By infusing chakra into the rainwater he stepped on, he created a barrier-like barrier.

The technique is triggered whenever raindrops hit the ground and collide with the prepared chakra underneath.

Those who enter this area will feel as if they are being lost in a fog.

"Got you!"

Yahiko used the Substitution Jutsu to dodge the explosion and rushed up from the ground, intending to deliver a blow to the young Jonin.
