Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 93 Embassy and Educational Reform

What is the biggest problem the Kazekage is facing right now?

It's Shukaku!

The Sand Village's Shukaku, which occasionally went berserk, caused them huge losses. After seeing how Konoha dealt with the Three-Tails, they naturally took the opportunity to fleece them.

Since a kaleidoscope is obviously out of the question, then it must be something else—a four-sided sealing array.

The barrier seals off the four directions.

It is both a sealing technique and a barrier technique. The sealing formula is inscribed in advance by ninjas who are skilled in sealing techniques, and it requires four ninjas to activate.

Because the technique formula has been pre-written, it can be completed even if the ninja using it does not know sealing techniques.

It is similar to the sealing technique used by the Allied Shinobi Forces against the Edo Tensei ninja.

Moreover, compared to the Four Directions Sealing Formation that suppressed the Three-Tails in the original work, this version uses the Three-Tails to be suppressed time and time again. Several ninjas who are proficient in sealing techniques have made further improvements to the tailed beast, and the effect is indeed quite good.

and so……

In Rasa's eyes, Hinata Yu took out a plan and placed it on the table.

"Konoha believes it is necessary to strengthen ties between allies, hence this plan. If Sunagakure agrees, we can send ninjas to Sunagakure to assist you in dealing with the Tailed Beasts."

Luo Sha frowned.

Project proposal?

It seems that preparations were made before he arrived.

He picked up the documents and started flipping through them; for a moment, the only sound in the room was the rustling of paper.

After a moment, Luo Sha stopped moving.

The main point of the document is that Sunagakure and Konoha established embassies in each other's villages and dispatched ninjas to be stationed there permanently, for the purpose of exchanging diplomatic messages.

Both sides can cooperate in various aspects, and Sunagakure can openly learn from Konoha's various policies.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it was clear that these ninjas in charge of diplomacy would be under surveillance.

"Lord Hokage, who does your village intend to send as ambassador?"

"Former advisor of Konoha, Koharu Utatane," Minato Namikaze said with a smile. "If Sunagakure is willing to do so, please send a ninja of equal rank to her."

"..."

Luo Sha really wanted to refuse outright.

Just kidding. Even if Sunagakure didn't have the full picture of the political struggle in Konoha, they knew that Koharu Utatane was the loser.

It was only because Minato was merciful that he didn't deal with them directly.

But the other party was, after all, a former advisor to Konoha, and knew many of Konoha's secrets.

Now, how about exchanging the other party for someone of the same rank from Sunagakure to guard Konoha?

What suitable candidates could he possibly have? He can't just throw the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure over here... No, it seems like he does.

Thinking of the two elders who had retired to the second line and were no longer in charge, Luo Sha's expression softened.

"I can agree to this plan, and I can also send someone of the same rank to be stationed there."

But the Tailed Beasts are an important force in the village, and I cannot entrust them to others. Please understand.

"I'm willing to exchange the Sand Village's sealing techniques for Konoha's."

exchange?

Konoha's sealing techniques come from the Uzumaki clan and are the best in the ninja world. Even Kumogakure, which produced the perfect Jinchuriki, is weaker than Konoha in sealing techniques.

Minato's gentle expression vanished, and he sighed softly, "Lord Kazekage, Konoha hasn't gained any advantage in either the Five Kage Summit or this plan. Why can't they show the sincerity of Sunagakure?"

A document appeared in Minato's hands, which he then handed to Rasa.

Behind Luo Sha, Ma Ji saw that their Feng Ying's expression changed drastically after only reading the beginning of the second document, and his face turned gloomy.

"...We will exchange your village's sealing technique for a secret technique of the same level."

After speaking coldly, Luo Sha suddenly stood up, intending to leave the conference room, but the words from behind made him freeze.

"The Four Directions Sealing Barrier is a powerful sealing technique worthy of being included in the Book of Sealing. May I ask what kind of secret technique of the same level that Lord Fengying refers to?"

The Book of Seals... a forbidden book said to be personally kept by the Hokage. The techniques inside are all very powerful, and it seems that the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique originated from it.

That's the foundation of Konoha!

Is the four-sided sealing formation of the barrier considered a foundation?

Thinking of the ninjas who used this technique back then, some of whom were not even Jonin, Rasa narrowed his eyes slightly.

Perhaps it really is...

It's not difficult to use; the key is the rollers.

Once someone masters this sealing technique, it's equivalent to the entire ninja village knowing it.

This is extremely helpful for the current situation in Sunagakure.

"..."

In the end, Luo Sha walked out of the conference room without saying a word.

It involves some advanced ninjutsu, so he needs to discuss it with the higher-ups. After all, he is different from the Fourth Hokage and cannot make a decision on his own.

"My mind is completely absorbed by ninjutsu."

Minato smiled. "Afterwards, he was distracted by Yekura's matter and didn't notice our purpose."

Many policies of various countries in the ninja world were completely copied from those of Konoha.

Normally, this shouldn't cause any problems, since Konoha wouldn't dig a hole for itself. However, Konoha's future development plans can't be copied and pasted.

Thinking of this, Minato turned to Hyuga Yu, "Shouldn't we train him a bit more? Wouldn't it be too hasty to establish an intelligence network right now?"

If they were to actually establish an embassy, ​​they could use it to plant spies, which cannot be completely prevented by mere surveillance.

Of course, Rasa must have understood this as well, and shared the same thoughts.

"No need, the ninjas I chose are all natural-born spies," Hyuga Yu said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Minato seemed to be deep in thought. "Yu, what were Koharu Utatane's demands for agreeing to this? I hope she didn't make things difficult for you."

Hinata Yu remained unfazed. "She has no demands. She will use her clone to travel to Sunagakure."

Minato: "..."

pill:"……"

Minato and Yakumaru, who was hiding in the shadows, both looked at Hinata Yu's calm face and their lips twitched.

It's one thing to exchange a former advisor for a "high-ranking" member of Sunagakure, but to make matters worse, the person in question is just a split entity whose death doesn't matter.

That's too much...

"Alright, the meeting is over. Minato, it's time to get back to work."

Before Minato could even complain, Hyuga Yu took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table.

Minato's expression changed slightly, and he gave a wry smile.

I feel like there's been more and more going on lately, is it just my imagination?

He picked up a document, read its contents, and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Yu, you've been preparing this plan for a long time, haven't you?"

"The current environment is very suitable."

Upon hearing this, Minato turned his gaze to him.

"With the ninja clan suppressed, there won't be any war for the time being. We have the resources and time to explore some more paths," Hinata Yu said softly.

"Yama, take a look." Minato didn't reply immediately, but handed the document to Yakuma.

The latter took it and began to read it.

If a new school is rebuilt in Konoha, the admission requirements will be much more lenient compared to the Ninja Academy.

This school does not allow students to identify as ninjas before graduation. It has strengthened ideological education and even taught them some livelihood skills. The graduation age has been changed from 12 to 16, and the policy of early graduation has been abolished.

This is the main content of the document.

Looking at the courses and the graduation age of 16, Yaowan recalled that sentence again.

"What ninjas leave behind for their descendants is slaughter."

From childhood, they were taught to prepare for killing, with no other options; if they were strong enough, they were sent to the battlefield.

They hone their skills and twisted their minds in countless bloody battles.

Is it normal?

The First Hokage established the ninja village with the intention of preventing children from going to the battlefield!

But all along... who has actually done it?

Who wants to change the past?

Whether you call them heroes or cannon fodder, sending a group of children without a complete set of values ​​to the battlefield is a mistake!
