Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 187 Ninja World Vampires

A month later, Yubi, accompanied by several guards, met Yagura Karatachi, who had come from the battlefield, at the border of the coastal area of ​​the Land of Rivers.

Kirigakure accepted the deal proposed by Sunagakure.

The two had last met several years ago.

Back then, Yubi's reputation as a blood healer was just beginning to emerge, far from the level of his current dominance in the ninja world.

However, at that time, Yubi defeated Yagura Karatachi and solved the problem of Kirigakure's long-standing harassment of the border for Sunagakure, which further enhanced his reputation.

It can be said that Yagura Karatachi, one of Kirigakure's top combatants, was also one of his stepping stones.

Now that they meet again, Yubi's identity is no longer what it used to be; he has become the Fourth Kazekage—something that even Yagura Karatachi had never anticipated.

This includes Yubi's ability to defeat the Third Raikage single-handedly.

His initial assessment of Yubi was that he was a genius with terrifying combat power and extreme danger.

However, there are still some shortcomings.

The fact that he killed the Raikage is just too shocking.

When he faced Yubi back then, Yagura didn't think the latter could reach this level—

"We meet again—"

Yubi looked at Yagura and greeted him.

It had been several years since I last saw him, and Yagura Karatachi looked almost exactly the same, still with that baby face—as if he had frozen in time.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the price."

Yagura said coldly.

His style of doing things was clearly different from that of the Third Tsuchikage.

Yubi didn't waste any time and directly used Iwagakure as an example, giving a seemingly reasonable market price.

Then, the two sides engaged in negotiations and bargaining over the price.

However, Yubi was well aware of Kirigakure's current need for medicinal resources; in fact, it could be said that no village would not want their medicines—not to mention the hidden dangers that still existed within the Land of Water.

Therefore, even though, like the Third Tsuchikage, Yagura Karatachi threatened Sunagakure with war, Yubi still firmly controlled the discourse.

Whether it's the Third Tsuchikage or Yagura Karatachi—in the end, their fixed mindset leads them to "shift the blame" to the war.

This seems to have become the underlying structure and essence of the ninja world.

Ultimately, after a brief negotiation, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement.

As soon as the conversation ended, Yagura Karatachi was about to leave.

The entire negotiation process was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.

He himself didn't seem to have a good impression of Yubi.

"By the way—please give my regards to the Mizukage of Kirigakure. I heard he seems to be unwell—I can try to help him if needed."

Seeing him about to leave, Yubi suddenly said something.

Upon hearing this, Yagura frowned and looked at Yubi with a wary gaze.

In the entire ninja world today, Yubi is almost universally recognized as the top medical ninja—Tsunade of Konoha, having been out of action for a long time, is far less famous than Yubi.

Not to mention, the value of the medicine created by Yubi has already become fully apparent in the ninja world.

All things considered, it is not an exaggeration to call this Fourth Kazekage the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world.

Most importantly, after Yubi fought against the Third and Fourth Raikage, the current Fourth Raikage also revealed some of Yubi's abilities.

This includes a type of medical ninjutsu that has never been seen by the outside world.

This has led to virtually no doubt from the outside world about Yubi's medical capabilities.

"If you want to solve the problem of the Third Mizukage"—the other party is indeed the best candidate.

"With the fighting so intense between the villages, the depletion of reserves must be considerable. If your Hidden Mist Village wants to continue trading, even without funds, you can purchase our medicines through resource exchange," Yubi smiled.

resource?

Yagura remained silent.

What tricks are these fourth-generation Kazekage trying to pull?

Their Land of Water has the smallest land area among the five great nations, and it is also an island nation. In addition, due to some internal conditions, the resources that Kirigakure can mobilize and utilize are extremely limited.

Simply put, the Land of Water's resources are not as abundant as those of the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Lightning.

But since they said that, it means they must have coveted some resource of our Water Country.

Yagura is a seasoned veteran; he's not so easily fooled.

"No need, you should worry about your own village instead."

Yagura replied indifferently.

Immediately, he led a group of hidden fog spirits and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Yubi saw them off, a smile playing on his lips.

Judging from Yagura's subtle facial expression, the Third Mizukage is indeed in trouble.

"They're too vigilant—they're all shrewd people, and these older folks aren't easy to fool—sigh."

Yubi sighed inwardly.

"Aren't there any fools out there willing to be taken advantage of?"

Yubi slapped his forehead, turned to the guards beside him, and said, "Let's go too."

Then, he led the others away.

The cooperation with Kirigakure undoubtedly replenished Sunagakure's cash flow once again—and also alleviated Iwagakure's predicament of not being able to come up with much money.

During this brief encounter with Yagura, Yubi observed that although Yagura was shrewd, he was still far inferior to Onoki.

That old fox, Onoki, is the real sly fox.

Because Onoki emphasized launching a war because he was taking advantage of the fact that Sunagakure was secretly developing its strength—

Yagura's so-called threat of war stems from his belief that Sunagakure is the weakest of the five great ninja villages. The sudden disappearance of the Third Kazekage, along with the losses incurred by Sunagakure in the last Shinobi World War, have made it impossible for the village to withstand another Shinobi World War.

This explains why, among the five great ninja villages, only Sunagakure has not yet fully engaged in war, but instead is using its medicinal resources to contain the battlefield and alleviate the pressure on the village.

Because only by doing this can Sunagakure survive this Ninja World War.

Yagura Karatachi's understanding of Sunagakure was clearly not as thorough as Onoki's.

He failed to see the true weakness of Sunagakure behind this cooperation—which meant that no matter how much he threatened war during the negotiations, he couldn't gain any advantage over Yubi.

The final price of the medicine was even higher than that of Iwagakure Village.

Yubi agreed to Onoki's threat without hesitation, and even lowered the price.

It wasn't that Yubi was worried or afraid—but rather that he also understood that, given the intensity of this Shinobi World War, the resources of all the major ninja villages were being rapidly depleted.

Iwagakure's economic situation is indeed not good, and if they want to continue making money, they have no choice but to make concessions.

His only thought right now is that as long as there's a profit to be made, whether it's cash or supplies, it doesn't matter.

We'll see what happens after we've completely drained Iwagakure.

First drain Iwagakure dry, then drain Kirigakure dry—

Through these two villages, let the fire on the ninja battlefield burn even more fiercely.

Then—then we cast our benevolent gaze upon Konoha and Kumogakure.
