In the end, Sarutobi slashed Konoha and many shinobi spoke their hearts: "Tsunade, let's get rid of the state of combat readiness, we are still focusing on recovering our strength." ”

What else can Tsunade say, in fact, she doesn't want to start a war with Iwa Shinobi Village at this time. It's just that if Konoha doesn't do anything, then the land country is equivalent to a huge market, and Iwa's strength will definitely improve.

But what else can Konoha do besides the threat of war, even the Daimyo of the Fire Nation has little objection.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire has long been greedy for the trade of the Iwa Ninja, but the Land of Fire has been fighting, and in the rare interval between wars, he is busy rebuilding, and he has no time to deal with the bandits and wandering ninjas in the country.

Now that Iwanobu has proposed to include the Fire Country in the trade system, this means that the rare peace will last for a long time, at least the Earth Country will not take the initiative to break this peace. This made the daimyo very excited.

Over the years, the daimyo has paid a lot of money because of the war, and this time the Nine-Tails Rebellion has produced another big blood, even with the wealth of the Fire Country, the daimyo is distressed.

The Land of Fire needs a stable environment to restore its national strength, which is the meaning of the Daimyo.

"Then promise Iwa Ninja Village and agree to open up a trade route." Tsunade finally made a decision.

A few days later, the Land of Fire signed a treaty of trade with the Land of Earth.

The two sides agreed that: 1. The ninjas of the other side shall not block a caravan issued by the other party's daimyo for any reason. 2. Both sides may send a certain number of ninjas to escort the caravan into the territory of the other side, and the ninjas of the other side shall not stop them.

This agreement is fair, and the land of earth and fire, Iwa Shinobi and Konoha ninja are given the same conveniences and obligations to fulfill.

But when this business agreement was signed a month later, Tsunade and Sarutobi Hizashi and the others were dumbfounded.

Intelligence shows that a large number of Iwa Shinobi have entered the Fire Nation in the name of escorting caravans, and although these Iwa Shinobi have not entered some key areas of the Fire Nation due to the restrictions of the agreement, most of them can occasionally be seen in Iwa Shinobi.

But there are very few Konoha ninjas who have received a mission to enter the land of earth, and when I ask, I know that there is no need for ninja escorts in the country of earth at all. Originally, there were ninjas patrolling the trade routes in the land country, and the land country was considered the safest and most peaceful place in the entire ninja world, so not many caravans were willing to spend money to hire ninja escorts.

So only in the beginning, some caravans in the Land of Fire would also hire Konoha ninjas to enter the Land of Earth, but then there was no such injustice.

The caravans bound for the land of earth all chose to escort the end of the country on the border of fire and earth. The caravan will drop the Konoha ninja at the border and enter the land of earth alone. When returning, some caravans chose Konoha ninjas at the border, while others chose Iwa ninjas.

As a result, more and more rock ninjas can be seen in the land of fire, but there are not many Konoha ninjas in the land of earth.

In the Konoha conference room, only Tsunade and a few advisors were present this time, and Sarutobi said with a little headache: "Tsunade, we also have to make great efforts to clean up the wandering ninjas in the Fire Country like Iwa Shinobi." ”

"In this way, we will not have enough manpower, and once there are no bandits and wandering ninjas in the Fire Country, the village will have a lot less escort tasks, and when the time comes, our manpower will become surplus again." ”

Mito Menyan said, "How did Iwa Shinobi Village do it? They also have quite a few ninjas now. ”

Zhuan Koharu said: "Because Iwa Shinobi does not need to escort the manpower vacated by the land country caravan, there are two main places, one is to patrol the trade routes in the territory, and this part of the ninja's expenses are borne by the daimyo of the earth country. ”

"The other part is to go to other countries to take on missions, and the small countries around the land country like to hire Iwa Shinobi, which gives Iwa Shinobi a large share of additional tasks, which is enough to digest those extra ninjas."

Tsunade slapped the table and said, "Then exterminate the bandits and wandering ninjas, and then compete with Iwa Shinobi for the task share of the small country." ”

Zhuan Koharu shook his head and said, "There is another problem, if we send ninjas to patrol the country like Iwa Shinobi, then I am afraid that the remuneration for the tasks of these ninjas will have to be borne by ourselves, and the daimyo will not bear it." ”

Tsunade has been the Hokage for a while, but after a little calculation, his face is not good, this expenditure is not small, with Konoha now tight finances, and then bear such a large expense, Tsunade said: Why don't you change the Hokage.

Tsunade asked reluctantly, "Why did the Daimyo of the Land Country choose to bear this expense?" ”

Koharu sighed and said, "Because the land is the center of commerce, and commerce has brought great benefits to the daimyo of the land country, and the maintenance of commerce is to safeguard this interest. Naturally, the Daimyo of the Land Country will not be stingy. ”

"And our Fire Country, although we have advantages in resources and potential, but in the short term, we definitely have no chance to replace the Land Country in the trade route. In other words, if we do the same thing as Iwa Shinobi, we will only suffer in the short term. ”

Tsunade frowned and said, "If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss, don't the daimyo know the benefits that Shangdao can bring us later?" ”

Sarutobi continued, "The situation in the ninja world has been changing, who can guarantee that we will be able to maintain the peace until the business is profitable." ”

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and then concluded, "Is it because of Iwa Shinobi's performance in the third and fourth battles that they have credibility?" Those merchants believe in the land of the earth, believe in the rock ninja? ”

As a veteran gambler, Tsunade, who once owed money to borrow money from the ninja world, still knows the importance of credibility. It is precisely because Tsunade never robs, does not steal, and does not use ninja methods that those casinos welcome Tsunade.

And the money that Tsunade owes will eventually be repaid by treating the nobles, so Tsunade can always borrow money.

It's just that in order to get Tsunade to pay back the money, there will still be a battle of wits and courage.

Sarutobi nodded in agreement with Tsunade's words.

Tsunade thought about it, as if it was not good to do whatever he did. Too aggressive in suppressing bandits, wasting manpower. The already tight manpower being redeployed will increase the chances for Iwa Shinobi to enter the Fire Country to carry out escort missions.

If you don't care about anything, Iwa Shinobu will come and go at will in the Fire Country, and the hidden danger will be too great.

Just when Tsunade was still thinking about countermeasures, Danzo spoke: "Five generations, send the dark department and root into the small country, assassinate Iwa Shinobi, and make Iwa Shinobi lose credibility. Or enter the land of earth and destroy the trade routes. ”

Tuan Zang didn't say much, but the meaning was obvious, since he couldn't get benefits from the caravan, then everyone shouldn't think about it.

Sarutobi slashed in front of Tsunade and expressed his opposition: "We can't clash with Iwa Shinobi now, we have to regain our strength, and we have to wait until the new girl with the inheritance of the will of fire has completely grown up." ”

Danzang wanted to continue to oppose it, but considering that the main target now was the Uchiha clan, and he needed to get the Uchiha clan's writing wheel, he finally chose to shut up.

The Konoha high-level meeting ended without a hitch, and Tsunade acquiesced to the fact that Iwa Shinobi was hanging around the territory of the Fire Country.

Danzang returned to the root base, and he came to a secret laboratory in the root: "C, how is the experiment going?" ”

"Lord Danzang, the research direction of the Great Snake Pill should be correct, and the writing wheel eye can indeed inhibit the first generation of cells. But to achieve this, we need a lot of writing wheels, and if it is only one or two, it is easy to be engulfed by the first generation of cells. ”

"Moreover, our research on the first generation of cells is not as good as that of Orochimaru, even if we get a large number of writing wheels, it is impossible to study the first generation of cells that can be transplanted in a short period of time."

Tuan Zang's face was very ugly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to C: "You go and contact Orochimaru to see if Orochimaru needs anything, if you can, I will cooperate with Orochimaru." ”

"Yes." C immediately responded, and then quickly left the root base.

People who want to get in touch with Orochimaru don't have to hide one, for example, Nagato fell in love with Orochimaru.

It's just that unlike the original book, in order to recruit traitorous ninjas, the door chief often leaves the rain ninja village with Xiao Nan. But in this life, neither Nagato nor Xiao Nan was willing to leave Yahiko, so the task of recruiting Orochimaru to join the gang could only be assigned to Loquat Shizo, Scorpion, and another unknown dragon who had already joined the organization.

In order to ensure the success rate of the mission, Nagato also contacted Yichen, hoping that Yichen would be able to help Loquat Shizang and them.

The cooperation between Yichen and Xiao's organization is known to the ninja world, but Yichen joined Dark Xiao as an individual, and few ninjas know about it.

Yichen didn't want to be exposed, even in front of other members of the Xiao organization, Yichen didn't want to leak information, Yichen had told Nagato about this before.

Because Yichen was afraid that Obitu would get him to join the dark things as soon as possible, and then do something against him.

So after receiving Nagato's request, Yichen made a black trench coat and mask. The entire outfit is also painted with a seal to prevent prying eyes.

However, before leaving, Yichen still needs to get the consent of the advisory group.

This is actually not easy, the Xiao organization is developing too fast, and Onoki's attitude towards the Xiao organization has begun to become more and more jealous.

Counting Xiao Nan and the scorpion, the Xiao organization already has four shadow levels, but fortunately, Ohnogi has not treated the scorpion as a shadow level in their hearts.

The scorpion in this life has been planted in Yichen's hands twice, and even the three generations of Wind Shadow puppets have been lost, which makes the ninja world not so afraid of the so-called red sand scorpion.

However, if the Xiao organization wants to recruit Orochimaru, who is really a shadow-level S-level traitor, Onoki and the others will inevitably be vigilant.

This kind of thing can't be revealed just because Yichen and Xiao have a good relationship.

Sooner or later, the growth of the Akatsuki organization will collide head-on with the five major ninja villages, and now that Konoha is no longer a superpower, Onoki and others occasionally substitute Iwa-ninja village into the position of the overlord of the ninja world to think about problems.

In this mode of thinking, the Xiao organization is an out-and-out threat.

"How do you convince the advisory team?" Yichen has a headache.

After a while, the advisory group that had received Yichen's notice gathered again in the Tokage's office.

As soon as Onoki and the others entered the door, they knew Yichen's thoughts from Yichen's dress, and this restless Tsuchikage was going out to do something again.

Onoki and the others, who had countless experiences, glanced at each other, and then looked at Yichen silently one by one.
