"The Hidaka clan was originally the guardian of the Kiso River, but because of the implementation of the policy of one country and one village, it lost its rightful status, after all, the country has been guarded by ninjas, and we eliminated samurai will either go home to farm, or just like me, find a job that can be competent and make a living, if you have the idea of restoring the glory of the past, the end will not be much better."

"I think back then, the swordsmanship of the Hidaka family was quite famous in the land of fire, and I often heard about it when I was a child, and I heard that a hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Hidaka family also served as the mother of the daimyo."

"I guess you've got the true inheritance of your family."

"Hidaka-sama actually passed away a few years ago......"

"I didn't expect that the Hidaka family actually had relatives in Konoha ......"

"If you need anything, you can come to Kyoto to find me, and I will try to help you within my ability."

As soon as these words were put on the ground, the nine were like a dam that had opened a breach, and it would never stop until the saliva had dried up. Sakichi didn't expect that the officials of the Fire Country who he met casually were still old acquaintances of the family.

How does it feel a little fake......

Although he didn't have any thoughts about the empty check issued by Kujo, or didn't attach much importance to it, if he could take this opportunity to make up for the missing memories of this unlucky ghost after crossing possession, it would still be quite valuable to Sakichi.

Anyway, it wasn't a tragic story that happened to me, and I was all happy to listen to it, so Kujo's gushing "speech" did not arouse Sakichi's disgust, but the person concerned interacted with him with great interest.

But whenever there is something wrong or missing, Sakichi can also use excuses such as being young and not remembering clearly, and wearing a childish face is sometimes not a bad thing.

If you want to eat a tiger, don't you have to pretend to be a pig too?

In this harmonious and pleasant atmosphere, Sakichi and Kujo were quite satisfied with today's meeting, and there were no mistakes in between, and it was not until lunch time when the sun was shining that Kujo reluctantly left the Inuyashiki house. Even Asma, who was watching with his arms crossed, could feel Kujo's joy, obviously this was a good "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country", and the conversation between the two did not deliberately avoid themselves, and of course there were no things that should not be included.

In the following time, Kujo visited several wealthy families in Konoha one after another, and exchanged views on the current development form of Konoha, the direction of cooperation between the Fire Country and Konoha, the important role played by the wealthy clans, and the contradictions at this stage. And from a personal point of view, Kujo Kunimitsu expressed his due sigh at the powerful bloodline limit of the White Eye, the excellent command ability of the Nara clan, and the contribution of the Sarutobi clan to the development of Konoha, and expressed the hope that they would be able to go to the "Fire Country" to guide the work.

At the end of a busy day, it was night, the lights in the Hokage's office were bright, and Sarutobi and his two advisors, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, sat around his desk, as if discussing something.

"This is a request for supplies from the Fire Nation." Koharu handed a document with a lot of numbers to Sarutobi.

The so-called exchange, there is a natural flow, there is a flow, there is a natural out.

Every year, the Fire Nation allocates a large amount of money and materials to Konoha in exchange for the guarantee of its own safety, and the huge transportation team will not only transport strategic materials such as food, but also take away a lot of armament materials, such as things like detonation charms, and the core production technology of this kind of ninja is definitely in the hands of Konoha.

The land of fire is the land of four wars, and it is very difficult to completely defend the long national border, and the ninjas of Konoha are strategic weapons, except for some key points, there are almost no ninjas with status to do the kind of work that is stationed on the border.

This kind of work has always been done by the army recruited by the daimyo of the Fire Country, and in the event of a war, these cannon fodder who don't know ninjutsu or have a little knowledge of ninjutsu can only rely on the war ninja provided by Konoha to make simple resistance, delaying time and waiting for Konoha's support.

Even in the ninja war, this kind of cannon fodder also has their value, and it is suitable to operate some war weapons or as a charging gun hole, and the ninja village has spent several years of hard work to cultivate, which is the elite of the elite, except for the physical ninjas who can play an important role in the frontal battlefield, most of the ninjas are not suitable for frontal conflicts, they are better at infiltration, assassination and small-scale encounters, and more, the ninjas trained by Konoha are qualified battlefield commanders.

In the course of the war between the two countries, once the war progresses to the point where it is necessary to invest elite ninjas into the frontal battlefield, it is definitely a battle that can affect the direction of the battle, and even a critical moment that determines the victory or defeat of the two countries. For example, the Battle of Kikyo Mountain in the Third Ninja World War created the legend of the golden glitter of the ninja world, and the battle in which Sanshoyu Hanzo "canonized" the three ninjas.

After Sarutobi took the note, he read it very carefully, and as the reading deepened, his brows couldn't help but furrow: "The demand of the Fire Nation seems to have changed a little this year, and the vast majority of the war ninja equipment they ordered are produced by the Tono family, that ......"

"Kujo Kunimitsu, the official is in the middle of the position." The three of them are worthy of being partners in life and death, and Sarutobi only paused, and Mito Menyan understood the problem. This guy must have forgotten the name of that person, and as he gets older, Hichi's memory is gradually declining, and he doesn't care much about things outside of Ninja Village. This is not only responsible for Konoha Ninja Village, but also responsible for their own health, and the responsibility shouldered by the two advisors is undoubtedly much greater.

"This Kujo-sama, have you ever visited our ninja equipment reserves?" Generally speaking, the needs of the Fire Nation will not change too much from year to year, at most it is just an increase or decrease in quantity, such a large change this year is naturally very easy to arouse Ape Fei's doubts, not to mention that he is already repulsive to the Tono family's ninja equipment, and last year's reduction in the armament budget was already one of the means to knock the Tono family.

"No, according to Asma's report, Kujou Kunimitsu is very honest these days, and Konoha has not set foot in a sensitive position," seeing the expression of Sarutobi Hichicho became more and more puzzled, and turned to Koharu to explain in a timely manner, "However, in his spare time, he has visited several large-scale ninja shops, and he is very satisfied with Tonoya's products, I think this is probably the reason why you want to know." ”

The explanation of "...... in this way" is reasonable, and if you can't visit Konoha's "military base", can't you go to the place where "arms suppliers" are?

"I know your concerns, last year, we discussed the development of Tono Shinobi...... "Between the three old people who know the roots, there are very few secrets such a thing, not to mention that the three of them have always kept the same pace about the development of Konoha so Sarutobi Hiza is worried about what Koharu knows very well.

"That's right, Tono's philosophy about the making of ninja equipment seems to me to be quite dangerous......"

"Their philosophy seems to be dedicated to allowing ordinary people to master simple techniques and use mechanical creations to kill ninjas quickly and effectively." This is not so much the conclusion that Mito Menyan reached, but rather the understanding that the three of them shared. When I watched the scene of a so-called shuriken-throwing "concept war ninja" designed by the Tono family, it came to Mito's eyes again, a machine, which did not require the operation of the ninja chakra, and the two of them simply fiddled, and the overwhelming shuriken smashed down like a thunderstorm.

Compared to the countless kunai he summoned with scrolls in the war against the Nine-Tails invasion, the attack method of that concept machine was not much better.

This kind of lifelong effort is actually no match for the machinery made in a few days, and the blow to Mito Menyan can be said to be quite large, and of course, for the other two leaders of Konoha, it is also full of impact.

Therefore, the three of them invariably labeled Tono Shinobu as "dangerous", and prepared to limit his development through official means.

On the surface, these seem to be the ideas of Tono Kaisuke, that is, the genius designer of the Tono family, but in fact, they are all new ideas formed by Sakichi instilling the concept of modern war weapons into Fangsuke's head, and then fusing it with his own advanced ninja design concept.

The two of them are committed to the transformation of the ninja equipment, and in Sakichi's opinion, the kind of ninja that throws the giant wind demon shuriken may be amazing, and it also has a strong lethality against the huge psychic beast. However, in the final analysis, the direction of the war is still in the hands of the ninja, and instead of spending a lot of effort against the immobile city walls and the meat shield that can be channeled at any time, it is better to develop some items that can effectively kill and injure the ninja. Automation, high frequency, penetration, and full coverage, this is the topic that Sakichi proposed to Fang Zhu, and he has preliminarily assisted Fang Jike, which is why he has the concept machine.

"So, about the matter of Tono ninja equipment, we don't need to discuss it anymore, I decided to list the ninja produced by the Tono family as a prohibited transaction, and redraw a supply list for him according to last year's blueprint, the reason, due to financial constraints, Konoha has cut the purchase of Tono ninja equipment, and the current armament reserves are insufficient......"

This kind of reason is quite versatile, even if he knows that he has been tricked, Kujou has no way to go crazy. If you want to bypass Konoha and contact the Tono family directly, it is obviously a taboo, as long as the daimyo of the Fire Country is not prepared to tear his face with Konoha, this kind of thing will not happen for the time being.

"Understand ......" The two advisors fully seconded Sarutobi's opinion, "Just talking about the issue of funding, Kujo also handed me a proposal to increase Konoha funding a little later, but there is an additional condition. ”

The increase in funding is a good thing, but Sarutobi also knows that this proposal may not be easy to satisfy.
