Yunyin's latest indemnity and bond redemption funds were once again sent to the Nangagawa Stock Exchange in Konoha Village.

When Yunyin chose to reconcile with his sworn enemy Iwakure, and stood with Iwakuin and Taki Shinobu in the middle ninja exam, there were voices from the upper ninjas within Yunyin to stop paying war reparations and bond redemption funds to the Tokumitsu shogunate.

It was the third generation of Lei Ying who overrode the public opinion and continued to maintain the treaty between the two sides on war reparations.

"Unless there is a full-scale war with the shogunate or Konoha, the treaty between the two sides will not be changed!"

In the office of Thunder Shadow, the three generations of Thunder Shadow said this in front of all the high-level officials.

"It's just that if the reparations continue to be maintained, the village's funds for the development of armaments will continue to be insufficient, and if His Highness the Daimyo is asked to invest more, the reconstruction of the northern region will be delayed even more......"

A high-ranking shinobi said.

After the destruction of the Shogunate Coalition and the Fog Hidden Expeditionary Force, the Land of Thunder has long been full of mourning and devastation, and if funds are not allocated for reconstruction, the Land of Thunder may not be able to recover for the next twenty or thirty years.

What's more, the southern region is still under the control of Konoha and Iwakure.

Although after choosing to reconcile with Iwakure, Iwakuin also said that it would gradually return the occupied area, but this would require a transition time, so as not to make Konoha react too much; Moreover, there are also a large number of Konoha occupation troops who control the southeastern part of the Land of Thunder.

With a country of thunder that has been traumatized by the aftermath of the war, to compete with the shogunate and even Konoha who control the fog and many small countries, no matter how arrogant Yun Yin is, he doesn't have the courage to brag about it.

After all, Yunyin was forced to break his backbone by the shogunate and the fog from the heyday.

“…… In addition, the shogunate's Yen bills were also circulating in the southern region, and if there was no way to restore power, sooner or later the Yen bills, which had relatively stronger purchasing power, would penetrate into the central and northern regions, causing an extremely bad impact on the country's financial environment......"

The person in charge of the Yunyin Intelligence Department also said.

Although the series of financial + military combination offensives tossed by the shogunate in the land of water, although rough, they also opened the eyes of the ninja bun ninjas in the ninja world. After analyzing the intelligence, they found that unless the import of the shogunate's Yen was stopped from the beginning, sooner or later the powerful Yen would squeeze the space of the local currency and lose control over the country's economy.

"The Shinobu will increase the reconstruction assistance to the village, and there will be no problems with funding in the short term."

The third generation of Thunder Shadow said to the fourth generation Ai: "In exchange, the village will train the dark department for Taki Shinobi...... Ai, you're in charge of this! ”

"Yes!"

The fourth generation of Ai, who was once seriously injured by a "thousand-year kill" by Qimu Shuomao in the southern battlefield, has now recovered his health and looks much calmer.

"Kirabi!"

The third generation of Thunder Shadow said to Kirabi, who was sitting on the sidelines scratching his ears and cheeks: "You go to the southeast ceasefire line to take charge of the border troops, and your most important duty is to block and strangle all smuggling lines from the south!" ”

The shogunate and the United Company started by relying on the smuggling business of the land of water, and after the development, it relied on the issued gold yuan coupons as a pioneer to infiltrate the country of water and various small countries in the ninja world, and then achieve the purpose of controlling its economy and military, and now the country of thunder needs to be rebuilt and rebuilt, and the first priority is to block the "private trade" that has just emerged in the country of thunder, so as to earn enough seigniorage in the scissors gap to rebuild and cultivate the ninja army.

"Obey ......"

Kirabi didn't dare to make a half-point transgression in front of the three generations of Thunder Shadows, and obediently agreed.

After the high-level leaders of Yunyin left, the three generations of Lei Ying, who had always maintained a strong and dictatorial posture, breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the chair.

His pressure was far greater than the Yunyin higher-ups had imagined.

In particular, he chose to reconcile with his sworn enemy Iwakure, and the unstoppable shogunate tore a layer of face, which made it even more controversial in the village.

But fortunately, the bet was right.

The reaction of the shogunate and even Konoha was not as great as expected, and there was no organization of a second conquest of the ninja army to try to interfere in the internal affairs of Yungakure, and the questioning public opinion in the village gradually dissipated, and everything went in the best direction as expected.

"At this time, the team should have arrived in Konoha as well......

The three generations of Thunder Shadow looked at the clouds outside the window and thought.

……

The Yunyin escort team that arrived in Konoha felt very bad!

From the moment they entered the territory of the Fire Country, there were multiple Konoha ninja armies that were "escorted" in relays, leaving them no chance to inquire about information on the spot.

And after arriving in Konoha, the Yunyin ninja who escorted the compensation and cashed the payment felt the naked malice of the Konoha ninja and even the ordinary villagers.

…… Moreover, it is a malice that is high up and looks down with contempt!

The Yunyin ninjas, whose sensitive hearts had long been broken, walked through the Konoha shopping street under the "escort" of the patrol force of the police department with expressionless faces, and went to the Nangagawa Stock Exchange under the playful gaze of the baboons being watched, and handed over the current payment to the shogunate.

Subsequently, the head of the ninja proposed to purchase some supplies in Konoha, but the ninja of the police department who accompanied him flatly refused.

Then he offered to meet Uchiha Tokumitsu, but the police department ninja did not agree.

There was no way, the Yunyin escort team who had paid the compensation didn't even get a bite of hot rice, and left in disgrace.

And Konoha is even more enthusiastic about the praise of Uchiha Tokumitsu, thinking that it was the brave and warlike shogunate ninja army that defeated Yun Yin, who was once the eldest and the second of the world, and forced Yun Yin to give war compensation and cede land, which is really worthy of being the son of the "No. 1 wealthy family in the ninja world" and the "spokesperson of the Konoha hawks".

Of course, not long ago, in the Great Purge Movement, the resentment that the villagers of Konoha had been held in their stomachs was also transferred to Yun Yin, who was inexplicably shot.

After all, it's all scolding, and it's much safer to scold the defeated Yunyin than to scold the uchiha who are omnipresent.

……

"An order has been issued to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and from now on, the border between the country of grass and the country of earth will be blocked, cutting off all channels of movement of people."

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of starting a war again, he also made appropriate countermeasures against Iwakure.

Then there was the Land of Frost, where the shogunate and Iwakure drew a line to govern, and Uchiha Tokumitsu also ordered the blockade of its borders and deployed the garrison ninja army on the border

Of course, blocking part of the border was only a countermeasure, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to punch Iwakure.

"Allocate two billion taels of low-interest arms loans to the Rain Ninja Village, and support its expansion in the direction of the Bird Country."

The so-called Bird Country is a small buffer country sandwiched between the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain, and it is also the traditional sphere of influence of Iwakure, and the Iwakure Expeditionary Force, which is now fighting fiercely in the territory of the Land of Wind, maintains the supply of the front line through the Land of Birds.

Even if Sanshoyu Hanzo still can't open up the situation in a short period of time after receiving assistance, as long as the Rain Ninja Village maintains a posture of westward expansion in attitude, it can still threaten the Iwakure Expeditionary Force that is on an expedition in the Land of Wind.

This is also a kind intention released by Uchiha Tokumitsu to the three generations of Kazekage who control the country of wind.

Since he chose to stand in the camp of the shogunate and even Konoha, then Uchiha Tokumitsu, who is the current head of the Konoha Supreme Ninja Army, will definitely not treat his "old friend" badly, and will definitely provide him with all help except for participating in the war.

At this point, with the deployment of Uchiha Tokumitsu, an iron curtain with rough and many loopholes was established across the north and south of the ninja world.

At this time, factions and sides are the only things that small and neutral countries need to consider.

If you still want to eat at both ends of the source, even if Uchiha Tokumitsu will show generosity, the shogunate ninja army can't tolerate him!

Subsequently, at the behest of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Chino Mizuki led the 500 Kirin Army, escorted by the shogunate fleet, to the Tajima Peninsula in the southern part of Iron Country, and expelled the samurai stationed there, openly establishing a large advance camp here.

During the Second Ninja War, the Second Army of the Fog Hidden Army had established a secret base on the Tajima Peninsula to attack the eastern part of the Land of Fire, and as the ninja army under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu defeated the First Army of the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, this secret base was destroyed by the raid led by the Uchiha Tokumitsu who turned back to support, and the heavy losses of the Fog Hidden could only withdraw with the help of the three generations of Mizukage.

Returning to this familiar sad place again, the Misty Ninja was somewhat sad, but the leader of the team, Mizuki Chino, was proud and passionate.

While maintaining pressure on Yunyin and Iwakure, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not forget the fog under his command.

As an island nation, the water country of Kigakure's long-cherished wish is to obtain a fulcrum on the ninja continent that can be possessed for a long time, as a window for foreign exchanges between the country and the ninja village.

And Uchiha Tokumitsu fulfilled their wish.

Although the current fog is extremely declining, and has been regarded as a vassal of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and regarded as a shame of the five great ninja villages, this has not extinguished the pride of the fog that was once a great ninja.

Especially after landing on the Tajima Peninsula again, the resentment that the fog ninjas had always dared to be angry with Uchiha Tokumitsu also dissipated somewhat.

Although it didn't make everyone change their minds, at least the fog didn't continue to be passive.

And that's what Uchiha Tokumitsu wants.

It's still the same sentence, "I don't give it, you can't ask for it"!

It's just that the arrival of the Fog Hidden and the Shogunate fleet has shaken the top brass of the Iron Country.

As we all know, the rulers of the Iron Country are samurai of the old era, and just like the shrine maidens of the Oni Country, they are all the losers of the Warring States Period.

The Iron Country, which adheres to the principle of neutrality, also has a large number of samurai armies, and there are also countless new-age samurai who are quite accomplished in chakra swordsmanship. In the eyes of the radicals of the Iron Country, judging from the comparison of strength, if the posture of surprise attack is adopted, the Kirishin Ninja Army, which is currently stationed on the Tajima Peninsula, only needs to gather a sufficient number of Iron Country samurai masters to expel them.

However, after much consideration, Mifune, the chief general of the Iron Country, still rejected the proposal of a group of high-ranking samurai of the martial arts faction.

- You can't go to war against the Shogunate behind it because of a deserted Tajima Peninsula! Otherwise, the edge of the samurai of the Iron Country will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the large-scale shogunate ninja army.

You must know that before the Second Ninja World War, even the rain ninja army of Sanshoyu Hanzo was able to defeat the established Iron Country Samurai Mansion Army, if it weren't for the repeatedly defeated Mifune to lead his troops to resist the rain ninja, I am afraid that the Iron Country would have been wiped out under the blow of the second-rate ninja army troops in the ninja world.

“…… Send an envoy to Konoha. ”

In the castle tower of the chief admiral, the chief admiral Mifune slowly explained his decision.

Although the high-level samurai of the Iron Country changed slightly, they were more relieved.

It's also a good thing that you don't have to fight, after all, when the shogunate ninja army destroyed the main camp of Kigakure Tajima, the spies of the Iron Country had witnessed the power of Susa to destroy the world.

"But this is contrary to our principle of neutrality......"

Obidao, one of the Sword Masters of the Iron Country, said.

"The shogunate is powerful, and it is helpless to compromise appropriately......"

Another samurai captain stood up and argued.

“…… What do you think? ”

Mifune's eyes were set on his most powerful assistant, the samurai chief Satokaku.

"If you are inferior in strength and skill, then you can only compromise and make an agreement with the shogunate."

Rinkaku stood up and said, "If the shogunate is unwilling to make concessions on this point, then we will have to abandon the Tajima Peninsula and take refuge in the camp of Yungakure and Iwakure. ”

"We're neutral...... Why get involved in the infighting between those lowly ninjas......

A trembling old grandmaster said.

"The status of a neutral country needs the recognition of the five major countries and the five ninja villages to be a neutral country, otherwise, if the strength is insufficient, it can only be a belly to be slaughtered!"

"During the period when Sanshoyu Hanzo set off an expansion and conquest, there were five major powers to sanction it, but now? No one can cure Konoha who is the only one! ”

"Excellencies, times have changed!"

Li Jiao said in a heavy tone.

When the high-ranking samurai heard this, they were silent.

Mifune was also very satisfied with his performance as a mouthpiece.

"So be it......"

Mifune sighed and broke the silence: "Lijiao, please go to Konoha and discuss it with General Tokumitsu...... Let's see if we can fight for it. ”

The inner corner bowed silently to show that he received the order.

But what the result of the envoy to Konoha was, all the high-ranking samurai knew it.

The so-called struggle is just a fig leaf before the Iron Country chooses to fall to the Konoha camp.

After all, the samurai are all from noble backgrounds, and they still have to talk about some etiquette and honesty, and even if they choose to take sides, they must hide a little pretentious reluctance as a self-cover.

“…… The world of great controversy! ”

An elderly warrior sighed, then shook his head.

The mood of the samurai fell to the bottom again.

The vast ninja world can't accommodate a pure land controlled by samurai?

Could it be that the troubled times of the Warring States for thousands of years are about to reappear in the world with the opposition of the two camps?
