Chapter 28 Fish is hooked, Salamander is also a fish (Ch 28)

“Lord Qingguang, why are you looking at me all the time? Do you want to…” Xia looked at Qingguang expressionlessly and got stuck in her reward and punishment session again.
Lord Harumitsu was looking at me and was very happy, but if I showed it, it might bother Lord Harumitsu, so I couldn’t bother Lord Harumitsu. I stopped the reason that bothered Lord Harumitsu. I was very excited and wanted to react, but in order not to bother Lord Harumitsu￥%#……
“Forget it, it’s nothing. Have a good rest. It’s raining heavily outside. Don’t go out. I have some things to take care of. I’ll be back later.”
“Oh, by the way, if anyone comes looking for me and asks me where I’ve been, just say that I went alone to mourn the six deceased members of my tribe and wanted to be alone.”
“Remember to keep it a secret.” Qingguang put his index finger in front of his lips, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This scene seemed to pierce Xia’s heart. It was not until Qingguang left that she clamped her thighs together and covered her body with the thermal blanket. She rubbed her legs together constantly, opened her mouth wide, and kept breathing out hot breath, and her face became flushed.
“Master Harumitsu… and my secret, Master Harumitsu…”
His eyes gradually became blurred.
Not long after, in the rainy night, the clear light saw Hanzo’s figure standing alone on the plain in the distance.
“You are here indeed, Lord Yuying.”
“Tell me, what do you want from me?” Hanzo held his weapon in both hands, on guard.
“I just want to talk to Lord Yuying. I want to speak on my own behalf, not on behalf of any position. How do you do that?”
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Hanzo put away his weapon and took a few steps back.
“Keep a safe distance. I can’t trust you completely yet.”
“If you clap your hands, Wood Release will be activated. I dare not get too close to you.” Qingguang clapped his hands three times during the day, and the act of releasing Wood Release made him feel overwhelmed.
“That’s true.” Qingguang nodded.
The two of them sat on the ground in the rainy night.
Qingguang waved his palm lightly, and wooden stakes immediately rose up around them, forming a rain pavilion above the two people’s heads.
“Actually, it’s okay not to make hand seals.” Qingguang said, taking out a space scroll, from which he took out a stove and two jars of good wine that he had secretly kept at the eighth generation’s wedding.
Hanzo smiled speechlessly: “You don’t even need to form a seal, you really don’t even want to act anymore.”
“You kid, you fought with me to the death and schemed with me during the day, but you dared to come to me, the enemy leader, to drink in the middle of the night instead of staying in the safe camp. It’s ridiculous.”
While chatting and laughing, Hanzo took off the mask on his face. It had been many years since he had drunk alcohol, more than 20 years…
“Mr. Hanzo, I’ve already said that I am just Haruki now, and you are just Hanzo, representing an individual, regardless of your position.”
Qingguang raised his hand and poured a glass for Hanzo: “This is my uncle’s private collection, a fine wine left over from the Warring States Period. I secretly saved it from a clan member’s wedding banquet. I’m afraid these are the last two jars left in the entire ninja world.”
“Are you willing to give me this fine wine?” Hanzo held the wine glass, shaking it slightly. The smell in the air made him feel relaxed and happy, and memories of his youth emerged in his mind.
“Isn’t wine meant to be drunk?” Qingguang asked, raising his hand forward.
“Haha, you’re right, wine is for drinking.”
Bang~!
The porcelain walls collided, making a pleasant crisp sound, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.
However, Qingguang was choked by the burning sensation in his throat and kept coughing, looking embarrassed.
“You can’t drink, hahaha~”
“The sun of Konoha, the inheritor of Wood Release, the genius of Uchiha, can’t drink? I’m dying of laughter, hahaha~”
Hanzo laughed heartily. It seemed that he had never laughed so happily in all these years.
Qingguang took a cup of rainwater and swallowed it quickly. He felt relieved and said speechlessly, “I just became an adult. Don’t you understand the three ninja prohibitions?”
“Minors are prohibited from drinking. Do you think you would drink from the beginning?”
Hanzo turned sideways, put one hand on his knee, picked up the wine jar, raised his head and drank, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said: “I started drinking when I was twelve years old. What you call adulthood, when I was young, I didn’t care so much, I didn’t even know how many days I could live.”
“Naturally, it’s about enjoying life in the moment.”
One of them tells the story of the dangers of youth that Harumitsu has never experienced, and the other tells the story of the warmth and attention that Hanzo has never felt.
Before he knew it, only half of the wine was left in the jar.
Hanzo simply lay down, turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside the pavilion, and hummed a few times.
“I really envy your childhood experiences, unlike mine.”
“My parents died for no apparent reason. I was locked up with a group of people because I got sick. They called it quarantine management, and they didn’t even give me food or herbs to treat my illness.”
“Could this disease heal on its own? That’s hilarious.”
Qingguang also lay down dizzy and looked up at the wooden ceiling: “What is there to envy? So many inexplicable expectations are imposed on me.”
“By the time I came to my senses, I had already gotten used to it. It seemed to have become what they expected.”
“It’s not over yet, this favor is not over yet~”
Hanzo suddenly asked after hearing this: “If I give you a chance, would you be willing to exchange your life with me and live again? Growing up wildly depends entirely on your own will.”
“Are you willing?” Qingguang asked back.
They both gave their answers at the same time.
“I don’t want to.”
Qingguang shook his head.
He sat up, and imitating Hanzo’s example, he picked up the jar of wine and poured a sip into his mouth.
Still coughing.
“If you’re not used to it, don’t drink it. You’ll just waste it.”
“I brought this here. You really are the one who turned against Tian Gang.”
Until the two jars of wine were empty, the two men fell into silence for a long time.
“Tell me, what is your purpose in calling me here? I don’t believe you just came here to drink with me.” Hanzo put on the mask again.
He turned back into the suspicious and anxious Hanzo of the Salamander with extraordinary strength, who was loved by the people of the Rain Country and had Kunimura in his heart.
Haruki still had that smiling look on his face: “I can convince the Sandaime Hokage to make the Rain Country the sixth largest country in the Ninja World.”
Hanzo frowned, “Konoha alone doesn’t have that much power, not to mention that these have to be decided by the Daimyo.”
“Besides, how many lives of both ninja villages are on each other’s hands? Do you think it’s possible?”
“Besides, what good will it bring to Konoha if the Rain Country becomes the sixth largest country?”
During the day, the battle between him and Harumitsu was known to the entire ninja world, and he became Harumitsu’s stepping stone.
An irreconcilable hatred has formed between Yuyin and Konoha.
“Konoha needs an insider, an ally. Only Amegakure is the least likely to be suspected by the other four major countries. This is the best reason.” Harumitsu said.
“Is this your idea, or is it what the Third Hokage meant?” Hanzo questioned.
