Hearing Chiyo’s words, Hanzo paused. His gaze, like a kunai shot forth, pierced Chiyo.
Chiyo looked at Hanzo calmly, a smile playing on her lips. "Hanzo, Amegakure is poor in resources, without the help of a great nation, the path to building the village is difficult. You wouldn’t give up such a good opportunity, would you?"
Hanzo clenched the scroll in his hand. The Ame ninjas behind him focused their gaze on Hanzo.
Hanzo heard his own breathing.
The smile on Chiyo’s face deepened. No one knew better than her that the longer the hesitation, the greater the chance of success.
"Amegakure will not fall into war again." Hanzo said decisively.
Chiyo was stunned, she stared at Hanzo. She saw in Hanzo’s eyes the emotion she least wanted to see. That was disgust for war.
Chiyo gritted her teeth and asked, "Hanzo, are you really going to give up such a good opportunity?"
Hanzo didn’t answer. He opened two scrolls, took out the armistice agreement, quickly signed it, and threw the scroll to Chiyo. The other alliance agreement turned to ashes in Hanzo’s hand.
Chiyo frowned deeply, staring intently at Hanzo. She pulled out the armistice agreement from her embrace, signed her name in a few quick strokes, and likewise threw it to Hanzo.
Chiyo’s gaze shifted from Hanzo to the young man beside Hanzo. Now, information about Haruki of Amegakure had spread throughout the Ninja World.
She had to admit that heroes emerge from youth. The value of this young man was astonishing.
If he was given enough time to grow, could he kill Konoha White Fang?
Konoha White Fang—just thinking of this person, a metallic taste filled Chiyo’s mouth, wishing she could immediately slay him with her blade.
"What if we only want him?" Chiyo raised her hand and asked.
Hanzo followed the direction of her finger, his gaze falling on Haruki.
Haruki appropriately showed a confused expression.
"What do you mean?" Hanzo’s eyes were covered with a layer of ice.
"To exchange him for Sunagakure’s resources." Chiyo pointed at Haruki and said to Hanzo, word by word.
"Of course, he will only go to the battlefield to fight for Sunagakure. Once the war between Sunagakure and Konoha ends, Sunagakure will release him back to Amegakure. During this period, Sunagakure will help Amegakure rebuild and provide resources for its establishment."
Chiyo seemed to see through Hanzo and continued, "Hanzo, do you think I wouldn’t know the foundation of your Amegakure? This war has caused Amegakure to lose most of its ninjas, hasn’t it? If there is no aid from Sunagakure, how long will it take for Amegakure and the Land of Rain to get back on track? Ten years? Twenty years?"
Chiyo’s voice was full of temptation. "Now, you only need to use one ninja to exchange for resources. You wouldn’t be so foolish as to refuse such a cost-effective deal, would you?"
Hanzo’s gaze fell on Haruki. Haruki met Hanzo’s gaze, the confusion in his eyes gradually fading as he seemed to understand Chiyo’s words.
Haruki’s eyes gradually became resolute as he said, "Sensei, let me go. I am willing to exchange myself for resources for the village. Once the war ends, I will return."

Hanzo looked at Haruki, his eyes filled with emotion.
This child, like him in the past, was willing to give everything for the village.
However, how could he agree?
How could he let Haruki go to the extremely dangerous battlefield to die again?
If he really agreed, would he still be worthy of being a sensei?
Could he truly face Haruki?

The Ame ninjas glared fiercely at Chiyo and the Suna ninjas in front of them. To sell Haruki for resources, they couldn’t do it.
Amegakure owes its current state largely to Haruki. If they abandoned Haruki, then what would their faith be worth?
What were they fighting for?
Wasn’t it to prevent their children from enduring the ravages of war again?
How could they let Haruki go to the battlefield again?
Would they still be human then?
Haruki was not joking. He was truly willing to go to the battlefield. The battlefield was a good place.
Especially since Minato hadn’t appeared yet, he could harvest a wave of emotional value.
After Minato appears, he will suppress all battlefields in one fell swoop and end the war directly.
"No." Hanzo’s voice reached Haruki’s ears.
When Haruki saw the light emanating from Hanzo’s pupils, he knew that this matter was impossible.
"Amegakure will never exchange comrades for resources." This sentence was spoken by Hanzo to Chiyo.
He stared at Chiyo and said, "Give up. Amegakure will not participate in the war between Sunagakure and Konoha."
Amegakure had finally ushered in peace with great difficulty. He wanted to cherish this hard-won peace, lead the Ame ninjas to build up the village, and make it strong.
"Fine." Chiyo sneered.
She turned and walked towards Sunagakure, the Suna ninjas silently following behind her.
Watching the retreating figures of the Suna ninjas, Hanzo held the agreement with Sunagakure in his hand.
It wasn’t until the figures of the Suna ninjas completely disappeared that he lowered his head to look at the agreement in his hand. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the Ame ninjas.
Hanzo’s voice echoed in the ears of the Ame ninjas.
Haruki saw the Ame ninjas’ eyes instantly redden. His eyes also reddened.
For the lost emotional points.
"Return to the village!" Hanzo waved his hand, heading towards Amegakure.
Haruki sat crookedly on the broom, which prevented any discomfort. He rested his chin on his hand, pondering how to proceed with collecting emotional points.
The figures of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan involuntarily appeared in his mind.
