"Interesting! Interesting! ”

In the Tokage's office, Onoki's face was flushed, he touched his strawberry nose, looked at his son Loess, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Loess was full of doubts and said, "What can you think?" Isn't it that Sand Hidden Village has been defeated one after another in the past three years, and they want to stop the loss in time, and a large part of the reason why they participated in the war is for the Battle of the Wind Shadow.

Now that the battle between the wind and shadow is over, Ye Cang has won, and the forces of Luo Sha are reined in, so naturally there is no need to participate in the war anymore, after all, they can't defeat Konoha at all.

At most, the daimyo of the Land of the Wind refused to continue to pay for it, and the village of Sand Yin was barren and could not afford to fight the next war. ”

"It's a bit of progress, and I can see three reasons."

Onoki nodded, his face also showed a little satisfaction, he had cultivated loess for many years, but the loess had not been a weapon until he was beaten by the Hokage of Tatsuma's fourth generation.

Several battles of life and death have made the loess grow a lot, although it does not meet the requirements of the shadow, but at least it is no longer just the strength of the handle.

Maybe. In his lifetime, can he really see his son become a talent? Now Loess has grown into the best ninja in Iwain Village, and has inherited the will of the stone as firm as a rock.

In the past wars, even he, the third generation of the earth shadow, had several self-doubts, but only Loess had a pure heart that could always stand up when the village needed it most.

Although he can't change the situation, he can always give the Iwa ninja spiritual support, and from this point, Loess is even better than him, the father of the Tsuchikage.

It's just that the vision is still not enough.

Onoki said instructively: "The Daimyo of the Land of Wind has never given the Sand Hidden Village military funds during this war, and the Sand Hidden Village has always been overdrawn in the war, and they have indeed reached the point where they can no longer continue to overdraw.

But. This is not the reason for the Five Shadows Talks, after all, a few days ago, Shayin Village even held talks with major precious metal institutions, which caused the gold price of the Land of Wind to plummet, and we also took the opportunity to make a profit, have you forgotten?

From this point, it can be seen that Ye Cang doesn't want to stop the war, and the reason why she held the Five Shadows Meeting is for more reasons, such as. The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind not only cut off military spending, but also other subsidies.

If you think about it, why is that? Why would the Land of the Wind rather offend the Sand Hidden Village once and for all than end the war? ”

"What's in it for the Daimyo of the Land of Wind?"

Loess scratched his sideburns, and Onoki smiled even more, this son already knows how to find the right direction to think and analyze from the perspective of interests!

"The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind shouldn't do this, unless someone else promises him a great benefit, so great. In the hearts of the daimyo of the Land of Wind, it is a benefit that is more valuable than the entire Sand Hidden Village. ”

Hearing Loess say this, Onoki couldn't help nodding, and Loess saw this, a little more confident, and continued to analyze: "This should be a game between the five major powers.

It won't be our land country, after all, our negotiations are going well this time, and the daimyo has already agreed to allocate funds.

It won't be the country of thunder, the death of the three generations of thunder shadows, the country of thunder has to take revenge, and the daimyo of the country of thunder is the main battle faction

It shouldn't be the Land of Water, the final battle of the Fog Hidden Village suffered the heaviest losses, this is the first foreign war of the Mizukage Goji Tachibana Yakura, plus the internal affairs of the Water have also suffered heavy losses due to Konoha's actions, their daimyo should also be supported.

Then only the Land of Fire remains, but. Why? Konoha is the winner, and they are the one who should not want the war to end. ”

"Tatsuma Sakamoto, wolf ambition."

Onoki directly said his inference, "He touched the bottom line of the Fire Nation Daimyo, which made the Fire Nation Daimyo prefer to give up the profits in the war, but also to restrain Konoha, or Sakamoto Tatsuma." ”

Loess nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's what you said before. It's not that ninjas can't do production, but they can't do production, right? ”

"Probably."

Onoki narrowed his eyes, looked down at the fax letter, and said, "But. I'm afraid that the Daimyo of the Fire Country will not be able to achieve his goal so easily, and if Tatsuma Sakamoto dares to do this, there must be a complete arrangement. ”

"You're saying that the Five Shadows Talks can't bring about an end to the war?"

"No, this five-shadow meeting can't be held at all."

Onoki shook his head, and then said, "Don't be in a hurry to reply, let's see Konoha's reaction." ”

In the palace of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire, Tatsuma, who has no young lady to read, is holding a book of ninja biography that is very popular in the Daimyo Mansion at this time, and reading it with relish.

Tan He cautiously asked, "Your Excellency the Fourth Hokage, the Five Shadows Meeting is held in Sand Hidden Village, you don't need to. Do you want to go back to the village to deal with it? ”

"No, you don't."

Tatsuma waved his hand, very indifferent to the news brought by Tanhe, turned the page, and said: "I heard that there is a popular ninja card game in the Daimyo's Mansion, which is based on the ninjas of the last two ninja wars for the card character setting?" ”

Talking about a stunned one, I don't know why Tatsuma doesn't care about the situation in the ninja world, but he cares about this. children's games, but he replied anyway:

"Yes, it's quite popular, and you've been set to be the rarest limited character card."

Tatsuma finally put down his hand and said, "Let the publisher have time to go to Konoha and invite him directly to interview me if he is in the Daimyo's Mansion, the portrait of the Konoha Ninja has not been authorized for him to use." ”

"This"

Tan He was a little speechless, what's going on with these four generations of Hokage, they don't care about big things at all, but they are so concerned about these little things? But he could only nod and say:

"When I go back, I'll ask people to ask. Then I won't bother you, if you want to go back to the village, just explain to the other waiters, the kokuji daimyo said, you have the freedom to come and go. ”

"Hmm."

Tatsuma nodded, picked it up and continued to look at it, Tan He scratched his head, helped his glasses, and exited Tatsuma's room.

He didn't understand what Tatsuma was trying to do, was it. Don't go to the Five Shadows Talks? If the Five Shadows talks cannot be held, it will be impossible to discuss the end of the war?

But that's too capricious, isn't it? And such a clumsy strategy is not like what this fourth Hokage would do.

Or did Tatsuma Sakamoto guess what might happen here long before he left the village and came to the Daimyo's Mansion, and he was prepared early?

Sand Hidden Village, inside the Kazekage's office.

Luo Sha looked at the dust and dust, rushed back to Ye Cang in Shayin Village overnight, and said: "The four generations, the proposal to convene the Five Shadows Talks, which you explained, has been sent to all villages, but

Are we really going to cooperate with Konoha this time? Once we miss, I'm afraid that there will be no more land for our Sand Hidden Village to live in this Wind Country. ”

Ye Cang sat back in his seat, looked at the documents that Luo Sha handled on his behalf, and said at the same time, "Do we have any other choice?" Today the daimyo can cut off our funds, so even if we compromise today, what about tomorrow?

And can we still regret it now? Don't forget, how much gold you have, you've already stolen it and sent it to the Land of Fire. ”

Luo Sha sighed and said, "Four generations, to be honest, I've even been wondering these days, if this is a plan set up by you and Sakamoto Tatsuma against me, I'm afraid I only have half of my combat power left."

If things really don't go as planned, then the war resumes, and I won't even be able to fight as a first-tier combat force. ”

As a ninja of the Dust Gold Magnetic Escape Blood Inheritance Limit, Luo Sha's combat power is inseparable from the amount of gold dust, the three generations of the Wind Shadow are okay, and the sand iron is not valuable, but his dust gold

And this time, in order to cooperate with Ye Cang, for the sake of Shayin Village, he made a bloody investment, if Ye Cang pits him, or Konoha pits him, then he will die extremely thoroughly this time.

He is already inferior to Hakura, who has become the pillar force of the crane guard, if he cooperates with his wife Garura, he can still compete, but after losing so much placer gold. It is estimated that you can only protect yourself.

Ye Cang also frowned, looked out the window, looked in the direction where the Fire Country was located, and said: "Actually, I'm also afraid, I've never really understood Sakamoto Tatsuma, but in order for the Sand Hidden Village not to be controlled by the Daimyo, we can only gamble." ”

She shook her head, rubbed her face, picked up the wooden cup she had just finished receiving water, took a sip, and said, "Have the sand ninjas all flinched?" ”

"Well, all of the above middle ninja have returned to the village, and as for the lower ninja, I left some of them in various places, so they won't be so conspicuous."

Luo Sha replied, Ye Cang nodded, and said, "With the efficiency of Konoha, it's only in the past two days." Either we get out of the financial woes in one fell swoop, or we lead the sand shinobi out of this desert as sinners. ”

Hearing this, Luo Sha also sighed and said, "I hope everything goes well." ”

Konoha, the Hokage Building, and the Hokage's assistant office, there is a map of the ninja world on the water gate table, with countless signs on it.

It was the dark place of the ninja world, the location of the gold exchange.

Konoha has been collecting information about the gold exchange office for a long time, and occasionally uses a few stations of the gold exchange house to vent some anger. Look for deeper intelligence on the exchange and the rules of action.

Although all the information on the exchange house has not yet been ascertained, . It's enough, whether it's using the gold exchange office, or destroying all the gold exchange centers in the Fire Country, it's quite easy for Konoha to be stationed.

Even the gold exchange offices in other countries have been almost checked by Konoha, but Konoha does not intend to attack the gold exchange house with all his might, after all. There are some things that need to be done in the dark, by people who sneak in the dark.

Mizuto looked at Kaichi Yamanaka, who had walked into his office, and asked, "Is it arranged?" ”

"Well, the five major countries, a total of two hundred and fifty bounty targets, have all been issued, and before I even left, someone has already received the bounty commission.

Thanks to the gold of the Sand Hidden Village, the governors of the five major countries who are stationed in the city are now more attractive than ever. ”

Hai Yi had a little mockery on his face and said, "We're also considered . Eliminate harm for the people, right? ”

Shuimen nodded and said, "This money is from Shayin Village, we are just. It's just to help pass on the information, and it is Shayin Village that really "eliminates harm for the people", and we can't be greedy.

However, although they are all corrupt officials, in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will still be turmoil in people's livelihood, and we can't control other countries. Be as stable as possible. ”

Less than twelve hours after the invitation to the Five Shadows Talks was issued, the Land of the Wind lost its first important person, which was like a signal, and then news of the assassination of the important person came from all over the five major countries.

The four countries of fire, earth, thunder, and water reacted one after another, and many ninjas took action and began to search for the murderer, but after receiving the notice from the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Wind for the third time, the village of Sand Hidden replied with a letter that was not related to the wind and horses.

"Request for Funding for the First Ten-Year Economic Development Plan of Shayin Village"

The contents of the reply letter were leaked in just a few hours, and the other Shinobi villages in the other four countries also stopped their actions one after another, and in the Tokage Building, there were even commissioners who began to draft a request for funds for the economic development plan applicable to Iwakuin Village.

At this time, Konoha also issued diplomatic letters to other countries, stating that during the war, due to the safety of their own ninjas, they would suspend receiving commissions from other countries.

Iwakuin Village was the first to follow up, directly copying the copy of Konoha Diplomatic Letter, changing the "Konoha Hidden Village" to "Iwakuin Village" and sending it to various countries, and other ninja villages followed suit and issued the same diplomatic letter a moment later.

That night, at the dinner in the palace of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the fourth generation of Hokage Sakamoto Tatsuma held a ninja biography and asked the Daimyo Matsutsu of the Land of Fire for advice:

"Songjie, you said that in these ninja legends, the protagonist always unconditionally forgives the ignorant who has offended him? It's not a ninja at all. ”
