Chapter 104
There were many reasons for Hanzo's excitement. Whether it was Tsunade or Jiraiya, both were the top prodigies of the younger generation in the Hidden Leaf Village. As direct disciples of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had trained them for over a decade, their deaths or capture would deal a devastating blow to the Hidden Leaf Village, causing an uproar across the ninja world.
And then there was Orochimaru!
Although Orochimaru hadn't revealed himself, Hanzo suspected that he was present, merely hiding in the shadows.
But the most important reason for Hanzo's excitement was the Black Samurai and the Black Armor!
After hearing the report, Danzo immediately understood that the Black Samurai who had recently appeared was not inherently stronger than Inoi. The only reason he had managed to kill Inoi was because of the power of the Black Armor.
What a waste! How could such a powerful Black Armor be worn by a weakling like that?
Hanzo believed that only he was truly worthy of the Black Armor! Only he could fully comprehend its true potential.
He had deliberately spread news of the Black Armor's appearance, hoping to draw all the factions within the Land of Rain into a struggle for it. His greatest concern was that the Black Samurai would escape the Land of Rain. Since he had arrived with Tsunade and Jiraiya, he would likely flee to the Hidden Leaf Village.
If the Black Armor were taken back to the Hidden Leaf, it would become nearly impossible for Hanzo to obtain it.
