<div> Seeing Ryun still holding his long sword, Orochimaru quickly explained.
 "So that's how it is..."
 "Since you did not kill them, I will give you a way out." Ryun said as he lowered his sword.
 This could be considered repaying the debt of gratitude for his teachers.
 "Lord Hanzō, come with us to end this war completely... You already know Rain Country has lost. Ending it sooner will save more lives."
 Jiraiya crouched on the ground, speaking respectfully as he tried to persuade Hanzō of the Salamander.
 "Just now we were defeated, yet he did not deal a fatal blow..."
 Seeing Ryun still holding his long sword, Orochimaru quickly explained.
 "So that's how it is..."
 "Since you did not kill them, I will give you a way out." Ryun said as he lowered his sword.
 This could be considered repaying the debt of gratitude for his teachers.

 "Lord Hanzō, come with us to end this war completely... You already know Rain Country has lost. Ending it sooner will save more lives."
 Jiraiya crouched on the ground, speaking respectfully as he tried to persuade Hanzō of the Salamander.
 Setting aside their opposing sides, the Sannin actually respected this "Demigod."
 Hanzō of the Salamander had once tried to persuade the Five Great Shinobi Villages and promoted ideals of peace. However, many things did not go as he wished, and he eventually abandoned this unrealistic dream, picking up his sickle instead.
 When he wielded his sickle, it was mostly to drive away the troublemakers who had long occupied his country. He wanted to protect his own land and bring peace and stability to Rain Country.
 The fact that the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind were waging war on Rain Country's soil was unjustifiable no matter how one looked at it. The Sannin were not ignorant of this, but once the war began, they had no choice. As shinobi, they could only follow orders.
 "We can promise not to kill or mistreat prisoners. After the ceasefire, you can negotiate the follow-up matters with Konoha's leadership."
 Seeing Hanzō remain silent, Tsunade also crouched down.
 Originally, Hanzō had planned to use the defeated "Konoha Sannin" as bargaining chips to secure better terms in the subsequent negotiations...
 But then Uchiha Ryun appeared out of nowhere. After losing the battle, Hanzō himself became the bargaining chip, and Rain Country was utterly defeated!
 "Face reality, Lord Hanzō... You have already lost, and Amegakure has lost too!" Orochimaru also spoke up to persuade him.
 Seeing Hanzō still refusing to speak, the hot-tempered young man nearby couldn't take it anymore.
 "Why waste words on him? Just behead him and display his head. Send it to Amegakure, and I doubt they'll have the will to resist!"
 Ryun raised his sword again as he spoke.
 "You disrespectful brat, I never said I wouldn't go with you..." Hanzō of the Salamander finally spoke up.
 He was genuinely afraid this reckless youth would cut him down. If he could live, why die?
 "Then why the silent act? Has anyone ever told you you're a great pretender..." Ryun couldn't help but mock.
 Deep down, Hanzō was actually afraid of death. In the original story, after his will weakened, he became even more fearful of dying, surrounding himself with bodyguards and indulging in pleasure.
 But in the end, he still couldn't escape Pain's wrath.
 Though his will was still strong at this point, Ryun had already crushed his pride, making him realize he was "human, not a god." He no longer had any leverage to negotiate.
 "Don't be rude..."
 Orochimaru pushed the sword aside and scolded.
 Whether out of respect for a strong opponent or for the status of the "Demigod," basic courtesy was necessary.
 "Uh..."
 Ryun still had to respect his teacher's authority. He awkwardly chuckled and sheathed his chakra-infused sword.
 "Ryun, have your summon carry us." Jiraiya said with a smile.
 Right now, the Sannin were in poor condition, and Hanzō of the Salamander was severely injured and couldn't walk.
 Also... riding a dragon was ten thousand times cooler than riding a toad. Jiraiya really wanted to experience this novelty.
 Jiraiya's words made Orochimaru and Tsunade's eyes light up. They looked at Ryun expectantly, clearly eager to experience the feeling of riding a dragon too.
 "Old Black, help carry them, will you?" Ryun asked the Black Dragon with a smile.
 "Bastard, do you think I'm your pack animal? Letting you stand on my head is already my limit. Don't push your luck..."
 Hearing this, Ryun's smile faded.
 In the end, under the threat of the Sharingan, the Black Dragon reluctantly became their ride.
 However, it only allowed Ryun to stand on its head. The others had to stay on its uneven back, which was its last bit of stubborn pride...
 When the enormous black dragon crossed the battlefield, this protracted war finally came to an end.
 The Konoha shinobi on the battlefield firmly believed this was a divine beast that brought victory and peace. Some superstitious fanatics even knelt and kowtowed in worship.
 The countless admiring gazes around made Ryun feel somewhat proud. At this moment, he felt like the world was his...
 In short, his ego inflated. Faced with such a scene, few normal people could remain completely calm.
 At the very least, Ryun managed to maintain a calm expression. In contrast, the Sannin on the dragon's back were all puffing out their chests, their grins stretching ear to ear...
 "The four lords defeated the Demigod! Konoha has won!!!"
 Cheers of joy erupted around them, and the joy of victory quickly spread throughout the entire Konoha camp.
 ...
 "Lord Madara, the Rain of Fire War may end soon. Hanzō of the Salamander defeated the Konoha Sannin but was later defeated by Uchiha Ryun..."
 In an underground hideout somewhere in the ninja world, Aloe White Zetsu reported the latest intelligence to Madara.
 "Come here..." Madara said calmly.
 As Aloe White Zetsu approached, Madara grabbed its head and began extracting the memories from its mind.
 After a long while, Madara released it.
 "That kind of Lightning Release... Hanzō's loss was inevitable."
 "That guy's strength is growing too fast. If we want him to serve us, we should act sooner rather than later..."
 Madara's expression was grave. He was already taking Uchiha Ryun seriously. Now, he was just waiting for the right opportunity to drag this young man into the abyss of darkness.
 "What should we do? That guy is strong and seems highly regarded by Konoha's leadership. Even the Uchiha clan now views him differently..."
𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 "Uchiha Asuka and Kushina Uzumaki are always holed up in Konoha Village. It doesn't seem easy to make a move..." Aloe White Zetsu said with a troubled tone, though its grin remained sinister.
 Madara stayed silent, as he hadn't yet figured out how to set the trap.
 "We don't have enough intel. Gather more first. Learn about his personality, preferences, habits, and so on..."
 Konoha had many of Madara's spies. The ones gathering intel were all White Zetsu. Some shinobi had been killed and replaced by White Zetsu mimicking their chakra after leaving the village.
 They usually behaved like normal people, staying carefully hidden in Konoha. And not just Konoha—other major villages also had such spy White Zetsu. It was through them that Madara could strategize so effectively.
 "Yes!"
