When it comes to the ninja village in the Land of Rice, Hanyu's first reaction is Sound Village, but that is not actually the case now.
Otogakure was a new village that Orochimaru later established or. He gathered together a group of messy ninjas and secretly controlled everything in the village. He used Otogakure to conduct various humane or inhumane scientific experiments and used it to gather all kinds of intelligence in the ninja world.
It was one of the bases that Orochimaru had displayed openly but no one else knew about.
These are the "future" situations, and we don't know if there will be such a future. In the current Tian Kingdom, there is a small ninja village called Tiannin Village, and the Third Hokage meant that this village was destroyed not long ago.
While Hanyu was thinking about these things, the Third Hokage also silently confirmed in his heart the fact that Hanyu was a jinx. The time when the problems occurred in the Tiannin Village coincided with Hanyu's mission to return the Two-Tails. The two events happened one after the other.
As a result, it can be said that Hanyu was just passing by the Land of Rice, and then the entire village was blown up.
"So the question is, this incident happened a month ago? Why did the village only receive the news now?" After Hanyu realized which village was destroyed, he continued.
Hanyu was questioning Konoha's intelligence capabilities, receiving this seemingly important news so late. In theory, the Third Hokage should be blushing for such a thing.
But the Hokage didn't.
"Konoha's intelligence capabilities are good, but it is impossible to monitor every corner of the ninja world. Our strength must be focused. After the war, small border countries like the Land of Rice are obviously not the focus... If the explosion happens in Kumogakure, then we will definitely know the details of the incident within three days." The Third Hokage explained.
Hanyu glanced at the other person and thought to himself, you have a nice idea, how could Kumogakure be bombed?
However, the Hokage's explanation is not hard to understand. Now the five major ninja villages in the ninja world have their power checked and balanced. There is no longer a situation where one can absolutely crush the other. Therefore, most of Konoha's intelligence capabilities will be used on the other four strategic opponents, and the rest will be used for internal surveillance. If there is any spare capacity, it will be used to monitor villages like the Hidden Rain Village.
As for the matter of the Tanin Village, although Konoha's response was indeed a little late, it seemed to be something that was understandable and unavoidable .
"Apart from this, the more important question is why someone would destroy the Tanin Village for no reason, and who did it?"
Compared to how the Tanin Village was bombed, Hanyu was more concerned about why it was bombed and by whom.
"Hanyu, you have to know that ever since the ninja world emerged from the chaos and established the one village one country system, the number of ninja clans and ninja villages in this world has been constantly decreasing. This is a trend...
The resources in the world are limited, and the strong will always devour or destroy the weak. Such small ninja village destruction incidents were frequent in the early days of the Ninja World War, but I didn't expect it to happen again in this peaceful period. "
Apart from anything else, the ninja village always has to compete for missions. If someone has one more mission, then someone else will have one less mission, right?
Competition will lead to destruction, because the world is no longer the same as before, and the power of the large ninja villages is superior to that of the small ninja villages.
However...from what the Third Hokage said, it seems that Konoha also did this kind of dirty work in the early stages of the First Ninja World War.
On the way to the big ninja village , it is not impossible for the Second Hokage to destroy a few small countries and small ninja villages.
For a creature like the Hokage, anything that is beneficial to Konoha is something that he can consider how to do.
"In that case, anyone can do this as long as they have enough power. From my impression, the Ritsugu Village is a weak village that can be almost ignored."
"It seems like that. Kumogakure and Iwagakure, which are closer to the Land of Rice, and Sunagakure, which is a little further away, as well as Amegakure and Takigakure, which are slightly weaker but superior to the Tiannin Village, are all possible murderers... Didn't you meet Salamander Hanzo in the previous mission?"
Needless to say, Amegakure is so poor that they might have destroyed the Tagakure Village just for robbery. As for Takigakure, it seems to be a very law-abiding village on the surface. Even now, the village can really be called "hidden world". But don't forget that Takigakure has the only tailed beast, the Seven-Tails, that is not controlled by the five major countries. They even assassinated the first Hokage in the early days.
Perhaps the reason why Takigakure became so honest was because he was scared by the first Hokage.
But in general, Hanyu still thinks that it is more likely that the big ninja villages took action, because in the current world situation, the small ninja villages are a little overwhelmed. They survive in the cracks between the big countries and are too busy to stick together for warmth, so they should not have so many thoughts of "killing each other".
"Hanzo... I felt like he was here just for the ransom of the Two-Tails. I didn't sense any other intentions from him.
Once this matter spreads, everyone in the small ninja villages in the ninja world will be in danger again."
Hanyu said thoughtfully.
"Although it's a little late now, I don't know how many traces are left at the scene, and I don't know if we can find any survivors. Anyway, I plan to send a special investigation team to Tian Kingdom to collect as much information as possible from the scene, and preferably find out the identity of the person who did it.
Hanyu, you are relatively familiar with the route over there, so I'll leave this to you."
The Third Hokage wanted to assign this investigation task to Hanyu, because Hanyu was indeed familiar with the situation there, but Hanyu simply shook his head and refused.
"Hokage, I'm sorry I can't accept this mission. Investigations on the scene should be handed over to more professional intelligence personnel. More importantly, I think we should pay more attention to how the situation will develop next... I'm going to lead the team to the Land of Whirlpools."
The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you worried that the attack on the small ninja village will escalate?"
Hanyu nodded. He was not just worried, but extremely worried. After all, in his original impression, the Uzumaki clan's village was destroyed in these three to five years.
"In any case, the migration of the Uzumaki clan should be accelerated," said Hanyu.
Because the Uzumaki clan has transferred a considerable amount of power to Konoha, their strength and risk resistance in the Land of Whirlpools are much weaker than before.
Because of the impact of current events, and for safety reasons, Uzumaki's should indeed speed up its relocation.
The Third Hokage understood Hanyu's thoughts, "I understand..."
At this time, there was a burst of exclamations in the training ground. It seemed that while the two were talking, the results of the Jonin Exam had already been announced.
The Third Hokage turned around and glanced at the dark passage outside the training ground behind him, then continued to say to Hanyu, "After things here are over, you can do what you want. I will arrange other suitable people for the Land of Rice."
