Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 233 Light and Heavy Rock, Heavy Rock

Even though Huang Tu was left alone for most of the day by the Hokage in front of him, no matter how he felt in his heart, he did not show any complaints on the surface and kept smiling.

Because at this moment he knew very well that the current Iwagakure could not afford to offend Konoha.

The current Konoha is too powerful. As far as Deidara is concerned, no one can be his opponent except the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of the Iwagakure Village.

Even the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, the wandering Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi, or the current leader of the Jonin squad of the Iwagakure Village, Huang Tu.

But in terms of hard power, Deidara is not as good as any of the three of them. The nano bombs made by his C4 Garuda alone are enough to give % of the strong men in the ninja world a headache.

So no matter what, Huangtu must bring Deidara back this time.

However, considering the current delicate situation between the Iwagakure Village and Konoha, this journey is destined to be bumpy.

Even so, Huangtu has sufficient confidence.

Who is Deidara? He is a member of Akatsuki.

And what kind of existence is the Akatsuki organization?
An organization that caused great losses to Konoha three years ago.

This is an organization that Konoha hates so much. Now that Konoha has captured one of their members, they did not immediately use Deidara to retaliate against the Akatsuki organization, but instead notified the Iwagakure Village to come and arrest them.

What does this mean?
This means that Iwagakure has what Konoha needs.

But this also means that the thing that Konoha needs from the Iwagakure Village is important enough, so important that it is willing to put aside its hatred towards the Akatsuki organization for that thing.

But even so, loess still took a very humble attitude.

The reason is not because of anything else. In addition to Deidara's needs for the Hidden Rock Village, Konoha also controls the food lifeline of the Land of Earth.

If Konoha feels resentful about this transaction, it is difficult to guarantee what measures Konoha will take against the Land of Earth.

Now, Sand Village, Kumo Village, and Kirigakure are all recuperating, striving to recover from the war three years ago as quickly as possible.

At this stage, the Iwagakure Village can be said to have no help.

But if Konoha really wants to take action against the Iwagakure Village, these three ninja villages will definitely not sit idly by.

Because now the only village in the ninja world that can barely resist Konoha is the Iwagakure Village.

As for Akatsuki?
A great ninja village is a great ninja village. In their eyes, Akatsuki is nothing more than an organization where a group of rebellious ninjas gather together.

Even if there are some means, can these means withstand the siege of tens of thousands of ninja troops?
Thinking of this, Huang Tu's expression became more humble.

The person in front of him was not a sixteen-year-old girl.

Instead, he was a powerful man who had used his resource advantage three years ago to detonate the war in advance, suppress the ninja world, and kill three Kages in a battle. In one fell swoop, he firmly consolidated Konoha's position as the leader of the five major ninja villages, and weakened the three countries of wind, thunder and water into their current state.

The witch who plays with the entire ninja world in the palm of her hand, a cunning witch on the battlefield, the fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Such a person must be treated with caution even if his father, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, comes in person.

Looking at Huang Tu's respectful and humble attitude, the Hokage couldn't help but feel a little bored.

She felt a little bored that the steady man back then had to adopt such a flattering attitude towards her now.

"Hokage-sama, I wonder where Deidara is and when can we take him away?"

Huang Tu looked respectful and spoke cautiously.

The Hokage did not speak, but just sat there calmly, his whole body leaning against the back of the chair in a very relaxed posture, one hand supporting his cheek, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

"Hokage-sama?"

Huang Tu looked cautiously at the Hokage in front of him who was younger than his daughter.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was slowly pushed open and three figures walked in.

"Let me talk about what's next."

The person in the lead is the only female disciple of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, a flower among Konoha's F4 and now an elder of Konoha. She has experienced five Hokage and can be regarded as a steel warrior in Konoha's history books and at the negotiating table.

Go to sleep in Xiaochun.

Although he has some conflicts with the current fifth generation.

"It turns out to be Elder Xiaochun. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

Huang Tu stood up and saluted, sighing in his heart.

"You're welcome."

Utane Koharu slowly walked to the side of the Hokage and sat down. She glanced at the Hokage without revealing any expression and said:

"The Hokage has been busy all day and is a little sleepy now. Please forgive me, Lord Huangtu."

Huang Tu immediately smiled and said, "No, no, Lord Hokage is in a high position and has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so it's normal for him to be busy."

Utane Koharu nodded slightly, and Kurama Asuna, who was standing behind her, immediately came to Huangtu and placed the documents in her hand in front of him.

"This is the damage our village suffered from capturing Deidara. Lord Huangtu, please take a look."

His eyes fell on the document in front of him. Huang Tu felt that this document was like a mountain. It took Huang Tu a lot of effort just to open it.

Looking at the rules and regulations on this document, Huang Tu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said uncertainly:
"Did Deidara do this?"

It was written on it that in order to capture Deidara, Konoha spent 100,000 detonating tags, a sword of the god of thunder, and dispatched six elite jonin. The six S-level missions originally scheduled to be carried out during the capture of Deidara had to be abandoned, and the employer therefore chose other ninja villages.

Directly and indirectly, it caused Konoha to lose 700 million taels.

Catching Deidara means a loss of 700 million taels?

Does Deidara know how valuable he is?
"This, this... one hundred thousand detonating talismans?"

Huang Tu spoke with a trembling voice.

Kurotsuchi, who was already unhappy with his father's attitude, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard that 100,000 detonating talismans were used.

One hundred thousand detonating talismans? !
Wouldn't this be enough to blow Deidara brother to pieces?

"It's a mutual detonation talisman."

Utane Koharu choked back Huang Tu's question with just one sentence.

The technique of the Second Generation Hokage is well-known in the ninja world. He uses the summoning technique engraved on the detonating tags to perform unlimited blasts and can kill the opponent directly with money.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as spending money lavishly.

"Then, do we have to pay for these six S-level missions as well?"

Huang Tu gritted his teeth but held it back.

There are successes and failures in missions. Let’s not talk about whether these six S-level missions are aimed at him, but the mission has not been carried out yet. Even if he succeeds, the money will be put on the head of his Iwagakure Village.

How could he endure this?
"The ones who went to capture Deidara were Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"In addition, in order to obtain information about Deidara, Konoha's entire intelligence department worked for a month and did nothing else during this period."

"However, considering our alliance, we did not include this expense in our calculations."

Utane Koharu continued to speak calmly, directly choking back the curse that Huang Tu wanted to say.

So I should thank you?

Thanks for saving me some money?

These six people actually spent 100,000 Explosive Talismans to capture Deidara. Doesn't this make these six people seem useless? !

"Deidara is too strong. Even if all the strong men in Konoha are mobilized, we have no choice but to resort to this strategy. The strong men from the Hidden Rock Village are indeed extraordinary."

As if she could see Huang Tu's inner resentment, Utane Koharu sighed and praised Deidara's strength.

loess:……

"But, Mr. Xiaochun, will this..."

Huang Tu looked at the document in his hand and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seven hundred million for a Deidara, this is really...

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the Fifth Generation has been in office for less than half a year. If the village suffers losses just because of Deidara, it will not be enough to convince the people."

"After all, the fifth generation is still too young."

Utatane Koharu had a sighing look on her face, which made the Hokage open his eyes slightly and look at her.

Little old woman, it even involves her...

"This... can you please be a little flexible..."

Huang Tu looked embarrassed. If he had to pay so much money for Deidara, even Ohnoki would probably feel the pain.

In the war three years ago, we gained a lot from the Sand Village, but all the money was used to buy food.

Today, the Iwagakure Village seems to be the victorious country, but in fact it has already given all the benefits of the war to Konoha.

"This……"

Utane Koharu looked hesitant, which made Huang Tu's heart skip a beat.

The reputation of the Konoha elder in front of him at the negotiating table was really terrifying, but even though Huang Tu knew that the other party was setting a trap for him, he had to hold his nose and jump in.

This is the advantage brought by strength.

If Iwagakure had the ability to stand on equal footing with Konoha, the other party would probably have captured Deidara on the same day and notified them to come and pick him up the next day.

There is no need for it to be like this now.

"Well, I heard that your village has a secret technique..."

Utane Koharu hesitated for a long time before she spoke slowly, but as soon as she spoke, Huang Tu's eyes narrowed.

Could it be that Konoha’s goal is…

"The Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique allow the caster to fly and increase their strength..."

"If this technique is converted into money, it can be reduced by 300 million taels."

"That is to say, Konoha is willing to pay 300 million ryo to purchase this technique from your village."

Utane Koharu looked at the yellow earth and spoke with an expression as if it was very difficult.

"This……"

Huang Tu looked hesitant, but he already understood everything. He looked at the Hokage who seemed to be taking a nap beside him without showing any expression.

Is this the jutsu chosen for this Hokage...

According to Iwagakure intelligence, this Hokage possesses the four chakra attributes of Yin, Yang, Water and Earth.

Although he rarely used earth escape, in the battle with the Eight-Tails, he used the Earth Flow Wall in cooperation with his teammates to forcibly change the direction of the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

Even among the people in the Iwagakure Village, few people can do such a thing.

It is impossible for a mere Earth Flow Wall to produce such an effect with just Earth Style Chakra and huge Chakra, unless the caster has mastered the changes in the nature and form of Earth Style Chakra.

If the Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Weighted Rock Technique were handed over to Konoha, it wouldn't be long before the Hokage in front of him would not only have the ability to fly, but also add another bit of strength to the other party's most proud power.

From the beginning to the end, Huang Tu never handed over a fake or half-true and half-false technique to Konoha.

Because ninjas have reached a certain level, they can tell at a glance if there is a problem with any ninjutsu.

If a problematic secret technique is handed over to Konoha in exchange for Deidara.

Then the next day they, the Iwagakure, would have to face Konoha's wrath head-on.

Huang Tu was silent for a long time, and his rough frown never relaxed.

"This……"

"Five billion."

"The Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique are the secret techniques of our village. They are also the secret techniques passed down from the first Tsuchikage. Their value is far more than just a secret technique."

"It will cost 500 million."

Huang Tu could only be thankful that the other party didn't want Dust Escape.

Otherwise, Deidara would have died in Konoha.

"make a deal."

Utane Koharu responded without hesitation, which surprised Huangtu.

Did he bargain too little?
"The Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique plus 200 million ryo in exchange for Deidara. Does Lord Koto have any objection?"

With a smile on her face, Koharu Utane spoke to Huang Tu, changing her previous hesitation.

"……No."

Huang Tu felt a little aggrieved, but now that the words had been spoken, there was no room for detour and he could only accept the defeat.

"In that case, the deal is done."

"We have arranged accommodation for you all. If you don't mind my humble abode, you can stay here."

Utane Koharu stood up and stretched out her hand towards the yellow earth with a smile.

"Then I'll follow Elder Xiaochun's arrangements."

Huang Tu stood up and shook hands with Utane Koharu.

At this moment, Kurotsuchi, who had not said a word from beginning to end, stared at Sakura with a bad look.

Before this, her father had repeatedly told her not to interrupt during the negotiations, and she was very obedient.

But the thought that her own secret technique would be sacrificed in a blink of an eye made her unhappy.

This pink-haired girl is already strong enough, but she still cares about her family's secret technique.

After the meeting, Sakura stood up, said hello to several people from the Iwagakure Village, and then walked out.

"Lord Hokage!"

Just when everything was moving in a good direction, Heitu suddenly spoke.

The word "Hokage" caused the atmosphere at the scene to pause, and Huang Tu even tried his best to wink at his daughter, asking her to shut up.

But Heitu pretended not to see anything and continued doing his own thing.

"I've heard that Hokage-sama is invincible on the battlefield, but I've never seen that. Can you fight me?"

"Can you show me the Hokage's skills?"

! !
Finished!

Huang Tu cried out in his heart and quickly said, "Hei Tu didn't mean that."

"No, that's what I mean!"

Heitu, who had been spoiled since childhood, immediately fought back without thinking.

"What does Lord Huangtu mean?"

Utane Koharu looked at the yellow earth with a bad expression.

Sakura is the Hokage, and even though Kurotsuchi is the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage, she is just a ninja from the Iwagakure Village.

A ninja from the Iwagakure Village challenges the Hokage on such an occasion?

What a joke!

So what if Black Soil is somewhat famous?
What is that compared to the Fifth Hokage?
To put it more bluntly, black soil is not qualified!
Not even qualified to challenge!
