Chapter 470, Meeting in Konoha Village
Chapter 470, Meeting in Konoha Village
When the Kumogakure rebellion spread to Konoha Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately called his assistants and elders and asked, "Now the Cloud Hidden Village is wiping out the nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder. The Daimyo of the Country of Fire wants us to send troops to quell the rebellion, but I have already refused. After all, what happened just now After a ninja war, we in Konoha Village no longer have the strength to fight another such war, but what is our attitude towards this matter?"
Hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, everyone pondered. Of course everyone present knew why Kumogakure Village rebelled. It was not because they had reduced Kumogakure Village to rubble during the ninja war that just ended, and they were also defeated. Now More than 1 million in war reparations are paid every year, and Yunyin Village does not have that much money, so it naturally pays attention to the nobles who still have money.
Seeing that no one spoke, Senju Orange Water first said, "As long as Yunyin Village compensates us for the war in accordance with the treaty, we will strictly maintain neutrality. After all, it is impossible for the nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder to compensate us. If Yunyin Village really disappears, , we won’t be able to find a person to compensate for this compensation.”
Mito Kadenyan said, "It's just an order from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Wouldn't it be bad if we refused like this? After all, the Daimyo supports our finances worth tens of millions every year."
After turning to bed, Koharu immediately said, "Although the daimyo is our main support, it is difficult for us to accept this order. It is not that Lord Tobirama has never fought against Kumogakure Village. Even Kumogakure Village was defeated, but Kumo Ninja... Hiding underground, we have to continue to resist us. If Xu Qiang-senpai hadn’t destroyed the logistics factories of the four major ninja villages, Yunyin Village would not have surrendered so easily. If we fight Yunyin Village again, we might face Tobirama-sama’s dilemma. , when the time comes, the other three great ninja villages will secretly support Yunyin Village to fight with us. By then, the three great ninja villages will not go to war with us, and Senior Xu Qiang will not be able to destroy their factories. In this way, our Konoha Village will be defeated by Yunyin Village. The village is dead, we can’t do this kind of thing.”
At this time, Shimura Danzo, who had not spoken yet, said in a shocking tone, "Why should we listen to the daimyo? Kumogakure Village has already set an example for us. The strength of the nobles of the Fire Country is not very good. We can definitely learn from Kumogakure." The village's approach is to eliminate these nobles, so that all the resources of the Fire Country will be in the hands of our Konoha Village. By then, we Konoha ninjas will be the masters of the Fire Country. This is so good, and it is still useful for discussion. Don't fight with Kumogakure. Kumogakure is a tough guy. Without oil and water, his teeth will break easily. However, the nobles of the Fire Country are fat and easy to digest. Is such a decision difficult to make? If we in Konoha Village can fully control it. With the Fire Nation, the first ninja nation in the ninja world was born in our hands, which is comparable to the innovation of the ninja village system created by Hashirama-sensei."
Shimura Danzo's words stunned everyone. Kumogakure Village would take such a path because it could no longer survive, but their Konoha Village was prosperous, and they had just defeated the siege of the four great ninja villages and became He became the well-deserved overlord of the ninja world. Under such circumstances, everyone believed that this was the victory of the Konohagakure system, and the victors were not condemned and had not changed at all. They believed that their system was perfect.
However, Senju Orange Water said, "Isn't this good? We have always had a good relationship with the daimyo, but we suddenly fell out like this. It can't be justified."
You must know that the daimyo is Tsunade's grandfather and an important supporter of the Senju family. How could Senju Orange Water agree to such a thing of cutting off his arm. Moreover, there are many daimyo in Konoha Village who support this. For example, the Hatake family is originally a samurai under the daimyo, and the Kato family is a branch of the daimyo family. It can be said that these people were placed in Konoha Village by the daimyo to protect the daimyo. In the interests of Konoha Village, they have long been married to other ninja families in Konoha Village over the years, and they have become entangled in Konoha Village by using noble means.
Moreover, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is also the largest banker in Konoha Village, and has business dealings with almost all ninjas who have factories. If the Daimyo's bank collapses, Konoha Village will also suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, if Konoha Village really wants to follow Danzo Shimura's words, it must first purge the support of these big names. Before there is a battle, it will have to purge less than half of its strength, and the economy and industry will collapse. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who understood this situation, certainly knew that it was impossible for Konoha Village to split from the daimyo and nobles of the Fire Country.
So he severely criticized Shimura Danzo, saying, "Hashirama-sama created the shinobi village system, and the Fire Nation daimyo has always been the biggest supporter of our Konoha Village. Now he is annihilating his own supporters for no reason. This is a very stupid act. So don’t say anything like this again.”
The other elders immediately said, "That's right. This kind of behavior will make our Konoha Village lose credibility. If a Ninja Village has no credibility, is it possible to receive missions? You know, except for some small missions, most of our missions are It was done by nobles and big businessmen. Without them, our Konoha Village will not say it will collapse, but it will not be so easy to develop. As for the affairs of Yunyin Village, what does it have to do with us? As long as they can repay the money, we don’t care about them. Life or death."
Other elders also said, "Yes, this is none of our business, we just need to watch."
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "It seems that everyone's opinions are still strictly neutral."
Shimura Danzo could only say helplessly, "Sarutobi, you will regret it. Kumogakure Village is about to turn into a ninja country, and their strength will increase exponentially by then. By then, you can only watch Kumogakure Village surpass We, the Leaf Village, will become the new overlords of the ninja world."
But none of the elders present believed this. After all, they thought that Konoha Village was like the rising sun, while Yunyin Village was struggling to survive, and there was no comparison between the two.
"Shimura Danzo, this old immortal thing, actually dares to take advantage of grandpa. See if I don't punch him to death." Tsunade said angrily at Xu Qiang's house when she heard Senju Orange Water talk about the content of today's meeting. This is not To drive a wedge between Grandpa Grandpa and the Leaf Village.
At this time, Senju Orange Water advised on the side, "Tsunade shouldn't be so angry. No one agrees with Danzo's opinion, so you don't have to worry about the Daimyo and the others, and the situation in our Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder are also different."
"Why don't you worry? What Danzo said today will definitely reach grandpa. Then grandpa will also have opinions about Konoha Village. Then there will be a gap. If grandpa and Konoha Village confront each other, then Which side should I be on?"
