Railroad tracks, a rare facility in a large country, have a complete line in the desolate land of Snow Country.

The whistle roared, the smoke went backwards along the curve of the train, and in the box, a man with a broad face and thin eyebrows sat on a burgundy sofa, holding the foot of a red wine glass in his hand, and shook it gently, and the wine swirled and swirled in intoxicating ripples.

Futao's eyes were fixed on the wine glass, but his mind drifted somewhere.

"My lord, there's a message from the Daimyo, let's speed up."

Suddenly, a ninja in gray and white armor appeared in the empty box, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.

Nu Tao turned his head sideways, looked at the white expanse outside, and said lightly: "The daimyo said, then follow the instructions." ”

"Yes!"

When the snow shinobi disappeared, the wine glass in Nu Tao's hand suddenly shattered, and the wine instantly turned into scarlet ice ballast, falling down the fingers of his broad palm.

He doesn't like people to order him, since he was a child.

But unfortunately, he has been living in the shadow of others.

Futao shook off the ice ballast remaining in his hand, got up expressionlessly, and walked towards the inner room.

There was a loud rumble from the front of the car, and it accelerated in the direction of the capital.

——

"My lord, Lord Fury has arrived."

Hearing the report of the samurai outside, Fenghua Zayuki got up with a smile, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Nu Tao coming over with a kind smile on her face.

"Big Brother"

"Nu Tao, it's been hard all the way."

Fenghua Zaoxue took the hand of the angry waves and walked in.

The two sat down after a few minutes of tea, and Nu Tao took out a Pisces jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This time, someone brought a jade pendant to Xiaoxue from the Land of Wind, and I don't know if the little guy likes it or not." ”

Fenghua Zaoxue took it with a smile and said, "She's just over two years old and naughty, I'm really afraid that she will accidentally break." ”

After speaking, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and said solemnly: "Speaking of the furious waves of the Wind Country, the Wind Shadow has sent a letter. ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the bookcase to pick up the envelope and handed it to Nu Tao, who took it and looked at it with an inexplicable look on his face until the end.

After a while, Fang said, "Big brother means"

Fenghua Zayuki pinched her eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "I can't make up my mind, the Wind Shadow wants to borrow from us, it's okay to say if they win, if they lose, there are other countries between the two countries, plus the special geographical environment of the Wind Country, I don't worry about Iwa Shinobi's retaliation, but we."

At this time, Fenghua Zayuki felt that the materials he had obtained from Hoshino Mu had become a hot potato, they had already offended Iwa Shinobi, should they still offend Sand Shinobi now?

"Yes, the Wind Shadow is going to go from us, and the supply line is bound to be very long, as long as Iwa Shinobi can resist for a while and cut off the back road of the Sand Ninja, the Sand Ninja will be defeated."

Nu Tao nodded in agreement.

Seeing that her younger brother agreed with his opinion, Fenghua Zayuki felt a little more confident in her heart, and continued: "I heard that Iwa Shinobi has been moving frequently recently, and it seems that Onoki's injury has improved, and with Onoki here, the scales may be tilting towards Iwa Shinobi's side. ”

As the oldest shadow, Onoki's prestige has naturally accompanied the growth of several generations, at least in the vicinity of Tsuchinokuni, where children have heard of Oonogi's deeds since childhood.

Of course, being scolded by Madara Uchiha is something I've never heard of.

Coupled with two controllable and experienced human pillar forces and demolition troops, in a situation where Konoha and Yun Shinobi are both defeated, it is very likely that Iwa Shinobi will make the situation in the ninja world show a three-legged pattern.

It is said that the sand ninja defeated Yun Shinobi and Konoha in a row, making the world look sideways, but they were defeated under the sneak attack of the rock ninja, and Hoshino Mu also attacked the land country because of this, but he couldn't attack for a long time under the turtle shell of Shu Dao, and finally he could only choose to retreat.

According to the relationship between victory and defeat, rock ninja > sand ninja> Konoha = cloud ninja > fog ninja, this formula is not unfounded.

It can be said that under the leadership of Hoshino Maki, the only opponent of Sand Shinobi who was deflated was Iwa Shinobi.

Therefore, Fenghua Zayuki is not optimistic about the strategy of Sand Shinobi's roundabout raid.

"Big brother, this letter says that you can enter the land of earth from the rainbow ice wall, isn't this ice wall unmelting for ten thousand years and as solid as a rock?"

Nu Tao asked as if casually.

Fenghua Zayuki nodded and said, "That's true, but I recently discovered a monument with a mural that records the method of opening the rainbow ice wall, but I have just learned about this method, and there is no experiment in building a device according to the above method, and I don't know where Kazekage got the news." ”

At the end, Fenghua Zaoxue's face was a little serious.

He didn't know what Hoshino Maki meant by telling him this, whether he was implying that he knew everything about the Snow Country and the situation around him in order to put pressure on him, or if he was simply trying to block the excuse that he might refuse?

Either way, it made the young daimyo feel a lot of pressure.

Nu Tao listened to the eldest brother's explanation, but he was a little disdainful in his heart.

The tone in the Wind Shadow letter was conclusive, how could it have been made recently, it was clearly wary of him.

The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: the heart thinks, the eyes see.

Just like some people are more believable, thinking that someone holding a mobile phone towards TA is taking a candid photo.

Nu Tao has always been worried that his secret plan will be discovered by Fenghua Zaoxue, and naturally he will associate it in a bad direction when he encounters things that are involved, which makes him feel an imminent pressure.

If you hesitate, you will be defeated, and Nu Tao's gaze was a little firmer, and then he said: "Big brother, I thought about it and felt that what you said was good, we can't agree to this matter." ”

Seeing Kazeka Zayuki's gaze looking at him, he continued, "Kazekage is the leader of Sand Hidden City after all, and his position will definitely not be considered for us. He let the nearest country of rain and birds not go to our side, once the war is over, Iwa Shinobi will definitely set his sights on our entrance, and when the time comes, will the sand ninja across the country of ghosts really help us? ”

Since the formation of the pattern of the five major powers, there has never been a situation where one country has annexed another, and Futao naturally thinks that Hoshino Maki wants to reap enough benefits through the war, and when the time comes, the land of snow will inevitably bear the wrath of Iwa Shinobi.

This is not the same as when the "Ring Earth Plan" was signed, when Sand Hidden City took the lead, and other countries shared the attention with Ninja Village, and the leaderless Iwa Shinobi did not dare to use force against them.

This time, he was directly involved in the military operation against Iwa Shinobi, and when the time comes, it is very likely that the beating will trigger the passive of being isolated and helpless.

Fenghua Zayuki sighed and said, "But can we refuse?" ”

He understands the truth, but the benefits have been received, and his strength is much worse than that of Sand Ninja, so how can he be qualified to refuse.

"Didn't the eldest brother say that the device hasn't been tested yet, when the time comes, do something and invite the representatives of Shayin Village to watch together, and then explode in front of him, even if it can't stop the plan of the wind shadow, it can drag on for some time."

"This"

Fenghua Zaoxue's face hesitated, that device was not so easy to build, and it had already spent nearly half of the treasury's inventory, which carried the expectation of the snow country bathing in the spring breeze, and it was a little too extravagant to watch the fireworks like this.

Seeing this, Nu Tao hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Big brother, if you don't do this, you will be involved in the war between the two ninja villages, and there will be no peace in the snow country!" ”

Looking at Nu Tao's anxious and earnest gaze, Fenghua Zaoxue's eyes moved, took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case. That's it. ”

Whoop -

The grille door was pulled open, and Futao walked out of the room, just in time to meet Hengbo.

"Angry Waves"

Hengbo respectfully saluted the angry waves.

Nu Tao hummed, nodded lightly, and left immediately.

Waiting for Nu Tao's figure to walk around the corner, Heng Bo turned his head to look in the direction Nu Tao left, and then walked into the house.

"My lord, the 'Spring Festival' device has been deployed, when do you think the experiment will begin?"

Fenghua Zaoxue touched her nose a little embarrassed and said, "This matter, there may be some changes." ”

As he spoke, he told the other party about the conversation he had just had with Nu Tao.

"That's the way it is, 'Yingchun'. may be postponed, and how to do it will be troublesome for you."

Hengbo was silent for a moment, but he couldn't say anything to stop him.

If the country is destroyed, what is the point of welcoming spring?

His face flashed in his mind, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say why.

I hope I'm thinking too much.

Hengbo nodded, and turned to carry out the daimyo's orders.

On the other side, Fu Tao, who had returned to the mansion, came to the study, picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the letterhead, and after a while, he put down the pen, picked up the letter and scanned it, put it in the envelope, and then opened a secret compartment, took out a pair of chakra armor from it, and said, "Someone, send this letter and armor to the Kazekage." ”

Waiting for Xue Ren's figure to disappear, Nu Tao sat down, thought about it, wrote another letter, and handed it to his subordinates: "Send this letter to Xue Ren Village." ”

Prepare for everything, and although he felt that Kazekage should agree to his request, things went according to the original plan.

Monday Sand Hidden City

Although the Council of Elders has died in name only, the tradition of holding a regular meeting on Monday is still maintained, and Hoshino Makki is still talking about the development of Sand Hidden City this week and the plans for the future, but it used to be a report, but now it is more like a notice.

"That's basically the case, the current development speed of Sand Hidden City is steadily rising, and the Moon Bay Oasis is gradually stabilizing with the environment, and the flow of people is also increasing, so everyone should have a good year."

Hoshino said with a smile.

With the improvement of people's living standards, the New Year in Shayin City is becoming more and more festive, and there is a jubilant and fiery atmosphere in the countryside in his previous life.

"In that case, why do you need to attack the land of earth?"

Chiyo said with a sigh.

She couldn't understand Hoshino Mu's decision-making more and more, since the village was developing in a good direction, wouldn't it ruin this good situation to rush to send troops!

Raksha didn't speak, but crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Hoshino Maki, waiting for his explanation.

Although he was the head of the war department, he was not actually belligerent.

Now except for Yun Ren, all the other villages are recuperating, and they are rashly sending troops at this time. He had reservations about that.

Hoshino Maki paused, looked at Chiyo and said: "The news of Onoki's possible recovery must be known to Chiyo-sama, if the other party reconciles with Yun Shinobi, the blockade line we built at such a great cost will be greatly reduced, and the other party must be dealt a blow when he is at his weakest." And if we take the land of earth, we will control at least 85% of the weapon output, and we will have the power to fight even if we face the combination of Yun Shinobi and Konoha at that time. ”

Hoshino didn't want to tell them about Obito for the time being, so he tried to convince the two from the perspective of the cost of silence and the expected benefits.

Although he can carry out his orders now, there is still a difference in efficiency between active and passive work, and he doesn't want to give the two of them the impression of a 'war maniac'.

And what he said also has some truth, the current ore production areas are basically in the wind and earth, and the control of these two countries directly controls the weapon production capacity of the ninja world from the source, plus Hoshino Maki has been constantly poaching craftsmen from the country of craftsmen, and even hit the ninjas in the craftsman village with the idea.

The leader of the Artisan Ninja Village has no choice but to ask Konoha for help, but Tuan Zang is now tired of dealing with the interrogations of the major families, how can he have the kung fu to take care of the affairs of a small ninja village, so the Artisan Ninja Village can only rely on itself.

At first, they were able to retain people with emotion and honor, but as Hoshino Maki gave too much, skilled craftsmen began to gradually lose.

Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, it is not impossible to leave if the new home is a villa.

In addition, the good reputation that Sand Hidden Castle has built in the immigration area since Hoshino Maki came to power also allows these people to worry about being embarrassed or unable to integrate into local life.

After all, they are arranged in a separate villa complex, and the neighbors are all former compatriots, so naturally there will be no sense of estrangement.

The number of excellent craftsmen in the craftsman village suddenly decreased by one-third, and just like that, Hoshino Maki was not satisfied.

Those who can be lured have already come, and the rest are diehards, and Hoshino Mu directly ordered to rob people.

The country of craftsmen is a small country in the sea, how much combat power can his ninja village have?

In the face of the ferocious Sand Ninja, these people are as powerless as chickens to resist, and can only let Sand Ninja take them on the ship to the Land of Wind.

Hoshino Maki didn't know how many craftsmen there were in the Shinobi Village, but he knew that the country of craftsmen was close to stopping production, and most of those who wanted to buy weapons chose to buy them at the Moon Bay Oasis.

Of course, there is also a grapevine that the leader of the Craftsman Ninja Village has begun to consider whether to move the clan to Sand Hidden City.

Now I can still tell the wind shadow about the conditions, seek a good treatment, and when I become the commander of the light pole, I guess I won't even see the face of the wind shadow.

Hoshino didn't know if the news was reliable, but he wouldn't be surprised if the 'join if you can't beat it' situation really happened.

Chiyo and Raksha were also a little hesitant when they heard Hoshino Mu's words.

The village had already invested so many resources in the war against Iwa Shinobi that it seemed that it was impossible to hold the reins now.

At this moment, a report from the dark department suddenly came from outside, and after receiving the Kazekage's answer, he pushed the door and walked quickly to Hoshino Maki and handed the two letters over with both hands.

After Hoshino Mu opened it, he frowned slightly after reading the first one, and when he saw the second one, his expression became a little playful.

He raised his head, picked up a letter, and raised it towards the two of them, saying, "There is bad news, the Daimyo of the Snow Country has politely declined our request to borrow the way. ”

When the two heard this, they frowned at the same time.

Although their attitude towards war is not firm, it is still unpleasant that this small country of Snow dares to refuse them.

At this moment, Hoshino Mu raised another letter and said with a smile: "The good news is . . . His brother agreed. ”

Good news: there is a recommendation on the 11th

The bad news: yes

Worse news: a new chapter will be added every day when the time comes

(End of chapter)
