Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon-Chapter 345 Two Choices

Chapter 345 Two Choices

'The old guy has indeed become weaker.'

Originally, Kaito was worried that he would not be able to hide his identity when facing a strong man like Hanzo.

After all, most of his current moves are too recognizable.

However, he did not expect that Hanzo was weaker than he had imagined.

In other words, his combat awareness has degraded so much that even if he still has the strength of a Kage, it is difficult for him to display it.

But it's not surprising when you think about it.

Since the Second Great Ninja War, Hanzo has rarely taken action himself, and his former reputation alone is enough to scare away villains.

Due to changes in the situation during this Great Ninja War, the Land of Fire, Earth, and Wind did not place the main battlefield within the Land of Rain.

The former ninja heroes have all lost their will due to their aging bodies, let alone a demigod in the ninja world who is the leader of a small country?

Looking at Hanzo's fallen body in front of him, even Kaito, the culprit, felt a little sad for him.

The noisy environment around was now quiet because of the death of the Hanzo.

The surrounding ninjas from the Amegakure Village originally saw Kaito charging towards their leader.

They were secretly cursing the "Konoha Anbu" for overestimating their own capabilities.

Everyone get out of the battlefield and wait for the great Hanzo to kill the enemy.

Everyone can then cheer and celebrate and offer flattery.

Who would have thought that in a flash, after only one round of fighting, their leader's head and body were separated.

"Isn't this fake?"

"How is that possible!"

Most of the Amegakure Ninjas were lost in confusion for a moment.

However, there were still a few die-hard fans of Hanzo who came to their senses immediately and charged towards Kaito with their swords drawn.

"Go to hell!"

"Revenge for Hanzo-sama!!"

At the same time, the salamander that had been knocked to the ground by Kaito's "Super Strength" also recovered a little, twisting its huge body and trying to stand up again.

Kaito drew out his Shinso again and made a blade flower in his hand.

Ignoring the Amegakure ninja who rushed over angrily.

The short sword in his hand stabbed into the head of the salamander.

'Shoot to kill!'

The blade of the short sword trembled and made a buzzing sound.

The sharp blade shot out quickly, piercing through the head of the salamander and into the ground.

"Bang~"

The salamander didn't even have time to let out a scream before a huge cloud of white smoke exploded around its body and it disappeared without a trace.

When the smoke cleared, Kaito was no longer there.

Even the body of the Hanzo has disappeared.

Everyone looked around in confusion.

It will probably take them some time to accept the fact that they suddenly lost their leader.

On top of an empty tower.

Nagato was holding the unconscious Kyūsuke and waiting anxiously.

"Shua~"

Kaito appeared next to Nagato in an instant.

As for the body of Hanzo, he had already put it into the sealing scroll on his way back.

"Done! How's it going? Have you contacted Yahiko?"

However, facing Kaito's question, Nagato seemed a little flustered.

"You killed Hanzo just now?"

"What else? Keep him for the New Year?"

Kaito put away the mask on his face and rolled his eyes in disgust.

"I am a Mizukage after all, so it's not surprising that I defeated Hanzo, right?"

However, upon hearing Kaito's counter-question, Nagato continued to mutter "ahhhh" for a long time and could not utter a complete sentence.

Fortunately, the person he was holding, Kyūsuke, woke up slowly, interrupting his confusion.

However, Kaito immediately stepped forward and slashed at Kyūsuke, who had not yet fully woken up, and knocked him unconscious again.

"Huh? What's this for?"

"It's better not to let others know your current identity and the fact that you're still alive."

There are countless ways to collect intelligence from corpses in the ninja world, not to mention the information from the mouths of living people.

The more people know that Nagato is still alive, the more dangerous it becomes.

Moreover, Kaito didn't want to reveal to more people that he had the ability to resurrect others.

Looking at Nagato who seemed to be checking on Kyūsuke's injuries, Kaito said helplessly.

"Don't worry. I'm just a medical ninja. How can I beat him to death? What did Yahiko say when you contacted him before?"

"Yahiko said he would come to support us soon."

Upon hearing this, Kaito looked down and said indifferently to the people from the Amegakure Village who had already begun to calm down and start searching.

"Then you should notify Yahiko again, and we will meet outside the Amegakure Village."

Take the Amegakure Village for example, which doesn't even have a defensive barrier now.

Although Kaito and Nagato could not come and go freely, it was also impossible for a search team of about a hundred people to discover them.

Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the Amegakure Village quietly.

Yahiko and Konan also rushed over to join the two.

The moment he saw Kaito, Yahiko bowed again.

"Thank you, Kaito."

Seeing this, Kaito also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He also knew that Yahiko's gratitude was not because he killed Hanzo, but because his actions saved his partner, Kyūsuke.

In Yahiko's heart, the lives of the organization's elders and companions are obviously more important.

Moreover, after seeing the true face of Hanzo, he had completely given up the idea of joining his team.

"There's nothing to thank me for. It's also a good thing for us in Kirigakure that Akatsuki takes over Amegakure Village."

However, Yahiko still thanked him again with a serious expression.

"Kaito, I will always remember your kindness in my heart. Please let me know if you have any errands in the future."

After hearing this, Kaito didn't continue to dwell on it.

Instead, he took out the scroll that contained the body of Hanzo from his arms and handed it to Yahiko.

"Here is the body of Hanzo. Although this old fellow is no longer as powerful as he was in the past, his prestige is still there. His death will inevitably cause great turmoil in the Land of Rain."

Having said this, Kaito paused for a moment and looked at Yahiko's expression.

Seeing that the other party showed no disgust or complaint, he continued.

"I have two suggestions for you to consider."

Upon hearing this, Yahiko simply nodded slightly and waited for Kaito to continue.

"First, I have a way to allow you to perfectly disguise yourself as Hanzo and gain most of his abilities."

"Then you will be the disguised Hanzo who will govern the Amegakure Village. As for the death, any reason can explain it away as long as you show a little bit of your strength."

"Second, I will hand over the body of Hanzo to you, and you will announce in the name of the leader of Akatsuki that you have recovered Hanzo's body and avenged him."

"But in this case, whether you can successfully take over the Amegakure Village will depend on your own efforts."

"But no matter what, turmoil in the Land of Rain is inevitable for a period of time. I can give you some support in secret from the Kirigakure Village, but I will never openly announce an alliance with the Akatsuki organization."

"You decide for yourself how to choose."
