In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 114 The Treaty to Divide Sunagakure, and the Figure Standing Tall Again Above the Land of Fire

"Alright, you two, I won't waste any more time here."

Naoki Kaguya put away the scroll and, under the expectant gazes of the two men, turned and walked straight out.

Unexpectedly, before I even found Danzo, he came looking for me first.

and.

Naoki Kaguya looked at the scroll in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

Danzo, he's truly insane.

You've actually managed to do this much with just the position of Hokage.

But why is it always Sunagakure that pays the price?
Naoki Kaguya curled her lips into a smile as she recalled the contents of the scroll once more.

Konoha will join forces with Kirigakure to force Sunagakure to hand over all ninjutsu and forbidden technique scrolls, including the Puppet Technique, which Kirigakure and Konoha will share.

Konoha and Kirigakure stationed troops in Sunagakure, and the two joined forces to obtain a commission from the Land of Wind to introduce trade routes.

If a mission conflict arises between Sunagakure and Kirigakure, Konoha will require Sunagakure to withdraw immediately, prioritizing Kirigakure's interests.

The Land of Fire allows Hidden Mist Village ninjas free entry, but only for missions.

This practically represents a treaty that turns Sunagakure into a vassal state of Kirigakure and Konoha, with Konoha not having to pay much in return.

Because the clever and resourceful Daimyo of the Land of Wind had already dismissed most of the ninja when Sunagakure and Konoha signed the peace treaty, and had also entrusted many tasks to Konoha.

Konoha, already lying on top of Sunagakure's frail body, was sucking blood.

They simply moved their bodies aside to let Kirigakure join them.

But what Kaguya Naoki had to do was much simpler.

As long as I swagger around the border between the two countries of water and fire, intimidate the Konoha ninjas, and then leave at Danzo's urging, I can obtain this huge profit.

As for Danzo's desire to completely put Sunagakure on the opposite side, to trap the already limited number of Kirigakure ninja quotas in Sunagakure, and his ulterior motive that Kirigakure, being far away from Sunagakure, could not control the Land of Wind.

Naoki Kaguya didn't care at all.

Leaving aside the secret techniques...

As long as troops are stationed there, they can have a foothold on the mainland.

This is of great strategic significance to the Fog Shadow.

In addition, it can open up the market and dump a large amount of luxury goods from the Land of Water into the hands of the nobles of the Land of Wind.

and.

Being far away has its advantages; the Sand Village's counterattack will likely strike Konoha first.

Although Sunagakure is weak, it was once an ally of Konoha. Now, it is going to hold a deep grudge against Konoha.

He focused his mind and sensed the teacup marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol.

He murmured softly, his figure darted around, and soon appeared at the Water Shadow Building.

In her field of vision, there was no one in Mei Terumi's position, but she could faintly hear a rustling sound behind her ear.

Turning around, I saw a blue and white straw hat tilted to one side, and the third-generation elder was still working hard.

A pang of guilt welled up in Kaguya Naoki's heart.

After I return from Konoha this time, I must spend more time at the Mizukage Building.

Just as he was thinking this, the Third Hokage chuckled easily.

"Hmm, Fourth Hokage, you're back."

Under Naoki Kaguya's somewhat puzzled gaze, the Third Hokage placed the last scroll aside.

"You really know how to pick your timing. I just finished my work and you came back."

Naoki Kaguya silently clenched the scroll in her hand, then took a few steps forward and gently placed it on the Third Hokage's table.

"Third Generation Leader, there are still some important matters that require someone as mature and prudent as you to handle."

The third generation leader's face immediately darkened.

Wow.

Naoki Kaguya disappeared from his sight.

Flying Thunder God, it's really useful.

The third generation shook his head, feeling somewhat frustrated.

The Third Hokage, who had previously been extremely disgusted with the scroll and wished he could just throw it aside, immediately stood up as he opened the scroll on the table and began to read it.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

Konoha is truly a good village, a good ally, and a good friend.

They've given us, the Hidden Mist Village, such a wonderful gift.

However, I must find out who this talented person is who could deliver such a treaty!
Show off your power?
Within the ice mirror that pierces the sky outside Kirigakure, Naoki Kaguya didn't think too much.

After all, he's done this kind of thing many times and is very good at it. But since Danzo is so magnanimous, I can't be petty.

This time, we must show off our power and go all out to let the Konoha ninja know the urgency of the situation, so as to highlight Danzo's greatness.

What if Danzo is not satisfied with the commotion caused?
The border of the Land of Fire appeared in his eyes.

Naoki Kaguya silently activated his Byakugan, glancing over the dense jungle towards the town nestled within it, finally fixing his gaze on the faded plaque in front of the town.

This is the place.

As that name came into view, countless pieces of information surfaced in my mind.

It should be noted that the borderlands of Kirigakure, where Konoha was still weak and vulnerable, were already teeming with spies from Kirigakure.

Therefore, along a considerable portion of the coastline, the landscape, geography, and town distribution of the Land of Fire are already quite clear.

Therefore, with just one name, Naoki Kaguya can define many things.

If I remember correctly, there is one of Konoha's most important military formations near this town.

And the commander there is Shikaku, right?

It's been a long time, let's go catch up with some old friends.
-
Nara Shikaku's life has been very unpleasant lately.

That's true.

The Third Hokage and Danzo are vying for their Hokage position, so how wonderful it would be if I could just rest and recuperate here.

But why do I have to be involved?

Danzo Kagesuke, you don't need to threaten our Shikaku clan anymore. Without the support of Jonin, your chances of becoming Hokage are really not as high as mine.

This is so annoying.

Shikaku raised his head, changed his posture, lay back on the table, and yawned.

Sleepy.

I'll sleep a little longer.

It's a habit I developed in school; now, I can't fall asleep without slumping over my desk.

It would be great if there was a teacher nearby.

Just as their breathing calmed down, a very anxious shout came from outside the door.

"It's terrible, Lord Shikaku!"

"Kirigakure, they're here again!"

Nara Shikaku immediately sat up straight.

Kirigakure?

impossible.

Thinking about the trade routes that are already generating profits, I just don't think Kirigakure would actually start a war.

Naoki Kaguya is a member of the legendary Kaguya clan, but Shikaku doesn't hold that stereotype!
Naoki Kaguya would never be that kind of fool.

He looked up and immediately asked.

"Let's talk as we walk. How many Kirigakure ninjas are coming?"

"Only three?"

"Three?"

Shikaku frowned, clearly displeased.

If it were before, I would have just killed him.

But now, under the threat of Kaguya Naoki, Konoha has long been a nervous wreck, so it's not unusual to push this matter onto him to handle.

Let’s go take a look first.

Shikaku walked up to the city wall and began to examine the three ninjas.

The three Hidden Mist Villagers suddenly clutched their chests and collapsed to the ground, rolling around and shouting.

"We simply want to inquire whether there are any of Kirigakure's treasures within the Konoha camp!"

"Konoha attacked us!"

Under the scorching sun, this exaggerated acting made Nara Shikaku's face contort with rage.

"Since when has Kirigakure been able to bully us like this?"

"Then kill them all!"

Just then, an ice mirror appeared behind the forest, causing him to swallow the rest of his sentence and his eyes to become serious.

Naoki Kaguya?
