Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

War always leaves scars.

In the past, Konoha, Iwa, and Suna regarded the Land of Rain as their battlefield and didn't care about the number of innocent lives lost.

Nagato's parents also died at the hands of Konoha’s Ninja.

After so many years, even with Jiraiya's teachings, Nagato still couldn't forget his hatred, let alone Hattori Hirakawa, an ordinary Ame Ninja.

"If Hanzo-sama wants to eliminate the Akatsuki, I would give my life to complete his orders, but he chose to cooperate with Konoha’s Ninja!"

Hattori Hirakawa clenched his fist and bitterly continued in a deep voice, "When Hanzo-sama and Konoha's Shimura Danzo jointly eliminated the Akatsuki. I left the village and did not participate because I'm unable to accept Konoha’s Ninja!"

"Luckily, you didn't come with them at that time…"

Uehara sighed slowly.

If Hattori Hirakawa had participated in the eradication of the first generation of Akatsuki, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered by the furious Nagato.

"But…"

Uehara suddenly looked at the furious Hattori Hirakawa and whispered, "You’ve said so much, but do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I do."

Hattori Hirakawa nodded and continued in a deep voice, "Kandachi, known as Hanzo-sama's right-hand man, will go to eastern valley tomorrow. There he will contact Konoha's ninja…"

"Interesting…"

Uehara smiled, patted Hattori Hirakawa on the shoulder, "I hope, for your sake, that you’re speaking the truth! If you’re trying to trick us… Well, it’s useless anyway."

"We will go there tomorrow."

Hattori Hirakawa shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This was not a massive secret, but only team leaders know of this. Hanzo-sama asked us to protect the ninja who’s going to meet Konoha’s ninjas tomorrow."

"Ok…"

Uehara nodded and solemnly whispered, "Then let's wait until this matter is over, and then give me your copy of Icha Icha Paradise."

"…I understand!"

Hattori Hirakawa suddenly twisted into a wretched smile.

Uehara couldn't help but curl his lips. You understand nothing!

After Konan heard the news from Uehara, although she was still a little unwilling, she reluctantly agreed to leave Hattori Hirakawa with his life after her disciples’ persuasion. After all, he was the first Ame Ninja to cooperate willingly.

No matter whether Hattori Hirakawa spoke the truth or lied, they could deal with it.

If what Hattori Hirakawa said was true. Konan and Nagato would be very interested in killing Danzo and Hanzo in one fell swoop. If what Hattori Hirakawa said was false. Whatever ever he was luring them into would be useless in the face of absolute strength.

Konan and Uehara finalized their plan.

Since Hattori Hirakawa's subordinates were all killed in the battle, their team would participate in the meeting as Hirakawa's subordinates.

The only problem was…

Konan looked around at the members of her team. She frowned and asked, "Naraku, how can we accomplish that?"

How could this group of little puddings pretend to be adult ninjas?

Uehara Naraku, 12 years old, 165cm tall.

Yuki Haku, 11 years old, 150cm tall.

Kaguya Kimimaro, 10 years old, 155cm tall.

Maintaining a transformation technique for a long time was no easy task. Uehara's size was sufficient, but Kimimaro and Haku were both questionable.

"Then only Sensei and I should go…"

Uehara smiled, looking at Kimimaro and Haku, he whispered, "Moreover, if something goes wrong, Sensei and I could run away at any time."

Eastern canyon.

This was the meeting place of the Ame Ninja and Konoha Ninja.

Ame Ninjas arrived here earlier, one after another. At noon, there were already more than thirty ninjas gathered here.

Uehara and Konan, wearing hoods and unique gas masks made by the Amegakure, followed behind Hattori and surveyed the situation.

Even if he hadn’t acquired any news, just killing all these ninjas loyal to Hanzo could be considered a successful operation.

As the time gradually approached, the Ame people began to become noisy. The few leaders were a little anxious and impatient.

"Why is that guy not here yet?"

"That trash won’t arrive here until the last minute!"

"Hmph, if it weren't because of Hanzo-sama's order, I would have chopped him into seven or eight pieces!"

"Who makes Hanzo-sama trust him so much?"

Most of these Ame Ninja started cursing angrily, ignoring the fact that the person they were cursing was a high-level person within Amegakure and the person they needed to protect.

When Uehara heard them begin to curse the name Kandachi, he couldn't help but ask, "Hirakawa, Kandachi is Hanzo's right-hand, right? Why does his reputation in the Amegakure seem kind of bad?"

"Kind of bad?"

A gloomy expression appeared on Hattori Hirakawa's face. He said coldly, "Kandachi has great power and often kills innocent ninjas or civilians of the village in the name of the Amegakure, framing them as spies. Basically, every ninja here basically has relatives, friends, and close friends who’ve died under his butcher knife…"

"…"

Uehara blinks suspiciously. Wasn't this Kandachi a "Shimura Danzo"-like character in the Amegakure?

Hattori Hirakawa continued to add, "That bastard always says that it's for the Amegakure. But what he wants is to collect money for himself and enjoy an extravagant life…"

That guy was not as good as Shimura Danzo!

Konan asks curiously next to him, "Does that guy, Hanzo, just sit and watch as his subordinate harms the interests of the Amegakure?"

"Has he done nothing?"

Hattori Hirakawa shook his head and sighed softly, "He’s the strongest ninja among Hanzo-sama's people, so Hanzo-sama trusts him the most."

This was also normal.

After all, when the Third Hokage of Konoha arranged personnel, he first arranged his people into critical positions.

It was said that Konoha's Anbu leaders were the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage. The Hokage assistants and consultants were his old friends who he grew up with…

Hanzo probably couldn't find a suitable and trustworthy person to do his secret and private affairs. So he could only pick one from among his people and Kandachi most suitable.

Hattori Hirakawa continues bitterly, "Rumours have it that the plan to cooperate with Konoha's Shimura Danzo again was that idiot Kandachi’s proposal… Hanzo-sama is a demigod! Why would he need to cooperate with those bastards from Konoha!"

"…Uh…"

Uehara spread out his hands and said helplessly, "You’re holding Hanzo in too high esteem, and Hanzo knows this at heart…"

Uehara did not say that the demigod Hanzo was average to prevent Hattori Hirakawa's retaliation!

Not many people in this era had seen Senju Hashirama’s strength, so many people considered Hanzo's power as closest to Senju Hashirama, resulting in Hanzo’s title “demigod”.

Similarly, not many people in this era had seen Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. Thus Raikage claimed to have the strongest defense and strongest offense…

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen had a title.

While Uehara pondered over it, Konan suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed his hand. She whispered to him, "Uehara, they were here!"
