Chapter 566 starts anew
After Hanzo led the rain ninja back to the rain country alone, the entire ninja world was completely relieved, which showed that Konoha had no war plans in the future, otherwise Skywalker would definitely not let go of such a big help!
Although the two countries are called allies, the entire ninja world knows that after the rain ninja signed the S-class war mission, he has become a mercenary of Konoha and if Skywalker doesn't want to release people, Hanzo will not leave no matter what.
Everyone thought that the war was over completely, and that Rope Tree would next lead his 70,000-strong army back in triumph. The 60,000 ninja army that had been stationed on the northern border of the Fire Country had already withdrawn to Konoha after it was determined that the Yunyin ninja army had returned.
Although these 60,000 recruits, led by the Nara patriarch, had been fighting soy sauce during the nearly two-year war, they played a huge role in strategy, so after returning to Konoha, they were warmly welcomed by the name of the village.
Of course, everyone knows that they are just supporting roles, and the real protagonist is the 70,000 elites under the command of Rope Tree. A grand welcome ceremony has been prepared in Konoha Village, just waiting for them to return and receive the honor of the heroes.
But surprisingly, the 70,000 army still did not return for a long time, and still drove the Tianxing Fortress to stay in the territory of the country of Sichuan.
Of course, Rope Tree would not return at this time, and his real plan was not yet complete, so he ordered the entire army to stand by in place with the authority of the commander-in-chief, and at the same time personally wrote a letter to the Daimyo of the Fire Nation in his personal capacity.
The content of the letter is roughly as follows: The two new territories of the Fire Country in this war are not only huge in potential but also very important in strategic locations, so Rope Tree asked for orders to personally follow the example of the air base on the border to establish a ninja village and branch base for defense, and asked the daimyo to mobilize the civilians of the country to relocate to the new territory for development and construction.
After receiving the letter, the daimyo never replied clearly, and the content of the letter was also "accidentally" leaked, and soon spread throughout the ninja world.
At the same time, the "rumors" that the Konoha headquarters wanted to remove the rope tree from the command position and recall the village to ask for guilt also became more and more popular in the ninja world.
After these two news spread, the entire ninja world was full of discussions, and the atmosphere in the Fire Country and Konoha Nai, which were originally happy to celebrate the victory, became strange.
And the top leaders of various countries also gloated at the joke.
According to the rules of getting along between the ninja village and the daimyo government, the high-ranking officials of Konoha would not cross Konoha to ask the daimyo for their lives without permission.
And military affairs like this should be decided by the Hokage, and then write a letter to explain to the Daimyo, the Daimyo has no right to interfere at all, especially in this kind of period when Konoha has just won a big victory, the Daimyo will generally fully cooperate.
However, as the commander of the ninja army, Rope Tree did not return to the village after the end of the war, but instead wrote a letter to the daimyo himself, and asked for the establishment of a ninja village, which is somewhat intriguing.
Linked to another rumor, it is not difficult to guess that Rope Tree is dissatisfied with the older generation of rulers of Konoha and now wants to bring a big victory to the mercenaries in the west to respect themselves or even start a new stove!
This is an extraordinary power struggle between the old and the new in power!
Seeing that Konoha is in danger of splitting, the high-level leaders of various countries are happy to hear about it, and even the Daimyo of the Fire Country is excited, this is his opportunity to meddle in Konoha's internal affairs, and the high-level of Konoha is worried, and they don't know what to do for a while.
Many of the 70,000 ninja troops under the command of the Rope Tree are also worried, and although the ninjas of various families are very supportive of the Rope Tree, it does not mean that they are willing to turn against those in the Konoha Headquarters.
However, considering the strength that the Rope Tree is now mastering, the members of the Dark Headquarters, as well as the newly joined Ninja of the Roots and Void Ninjas, the Thousand Hands Clan and the Ninja of the Uzumaki Clan, the descendants of the Rope Tree account for at least half of the 70,000 troops, not to mention that the four shadow-level powerhouses of the Three Ninjas and White Fang all have a great relationship with him, so although these family ninjas have doubts, they dare not make the slightest move, for fear of being destroyed by the Rope Tree in the name of disobedience. So in the end, he could only obediently obey his orders and stood in the same boat as the rope tree.
At this time, the high-level leaders of the Konoha headquarters were also afraid of the rope tree, and did not dare to make the slightest move, for fear of intensifying the contradiction between the two sides.
Although I don't understand why Rope Tree suddenly made such an abnormal decision, the Big Four are ready to compromise!
Yes, the three generations of Hokage, the two advisors, and Danzo, after receiving the news, have all decided to agree to the establishment of a sub-base and a ninja village by Rope Tree!
The reason why the four of them made this decision was because the identity of the rope tree was too special, not only the thousand-handed patriarch but also the master of Mu Dun, which was completely the spiritual symbol of Konoha, plus the power in his hands, and the wealth of the Konoha Foundation, the weight of the rope tree seemed to be heavier than the four of them combined.
If the two sides really fight, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Anyway, they had already compromised once before, for example, Danzou and his roots had long since broken away from the Hokage's control and become an independent force, and now it was okay to let the rope tree start a new one on the border, as long as it belonged to Konoha in name.
Before, the four of them were still worried about how to reward the rope tree this time, the head of the dark department was already the top position, and if it went further, there would only be the Hokage, and Sarutobi was only in his forties and in the prime of life, so he couldn't be allowed to abdicate in advance to make way for Xian, right?
This time, the rope tree asked for a new stove, so it should be regarded as a reward for him.
However, what puzzled the four of them was that with the character of the rope tree, he should not do such an impulsive thing, everyone knew that he was the only one in the future Hokage, so why should he be in a hurry? Now this kind of behavior will not only weaken Konoha's power, but if you don't get it right, it will be a big mess, and it will really hurt both sides!
In fact, all of this was deliberately designed by Rope Tree, including the previous two rumors, which he specially ordered to spread in the shadows.
The reason why he did this was that in addition to really wanting to start anew, further strengthen his power position, and get rid of the constraints of the other four, he also had a deeper purpose, that is, to completely control the large territory ceded by the Kawa no Kuni and the Wind Country into his own hands, rather than allowing the Daimyo government to gain power.
He had already expected that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation would not give up this opportunity to divide and balance Konoha, nor would he agree to immigrate and waste resources on this barren land.
The biggest possibility is to agree to Rope Tree's request to establish a ninja village, and refuse to immigrate to build it, then Rope Tree can take the opportunity to demand all the military power of these two territories, and with the precedent of the previous empty country, the daimyo will definitely throw these two territories to him as a burden.
In this way, this vast territory will be the private territory of Rope Tree in the future, which will be the birthplace of ninjutsu civilization and the first step for Rope Tree to seize the power of the Fire Country!
In order to achieve his goal, Rope Tree did not tell anyone about his plan, and even Tsunade was concealed by him.
After that, as he expected, everyone didn't suspect that the rope tree had another purpose, they just thought that he wanted to compete with the older generation of rulers, after all, the political situation in Konoha was very special, and there was a group collection before, and now it is normal to have another rope tree.
