Chapter 310
Under normal circumstances, Hattori Ryuuno wouldn't receive intelligence from the Land of Rain, as it wasn't his responsibility. Even if the Mist obtained intelligence from the Land of Rain, it would be sent directly back to the Mist Village, not to Hattori Ryuuno.
This time, however, was a special case.
Hattori Ryuuno already knew why the intelligence had been sent to him.
A while back, he had personally sent a letter to the leader of Amegakure, questioning him about the mysterious assassin. At the time, he had suspected that the assassin might have originated from Amegakure. In his letter, he had used severe wording, expressing his extreme anger over the matter and demanding an explanation from Hanzo.
He had the authority to do so.
That was because the Mist and Amegakure had secretly formed an alliance months ago. The two had shared interests—there were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. The Mist could assist Amegakure in countering Konoha, and in return, Amegakure could do the same for the Mist.
Together, they could attack Konoha from both sides.
That was why they had allied.
If this mysterious assassin had indeed been sent by Hanzo, it would mean he had broken the alliance, which would be an extremely serious betrayal.
But now, Hattori Ryuuno knew the truth. The mysterious assassin was from Konoha—an Anbu ninja codenamed Red Eye. He had wrongly accused Amegakure.
Taking the scroll from the messenger ninja, Hattori Ryuuno unrolled it.
