In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

Chapter 153 The village has a difficult task

Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the five great ninja villages that posed the greatest threat to Konoha, suffered heavy blows one after another.

The news shocked the entire ninja world.

Ordinary people were unaware of what had happened, but all the forces that had been paying close attention to the changing tides of the ninja world unanimously focused their attention on the matter, meticulously unraveling the mystery to reach the heart of the storm.

Konoha's sheer size naturally draws most of the attention.

Because they came from Konoha.

Sunagakure Village, where yellow sand swirls everywhere.

With blue hair and yellow eyes, the Third Kazekage, dressed in a white Kazekage robe, looked at the bombshell intelligence delivered to his face and muttered to himself.

"Is Konoha going to start a war on its own initiative? —"

Interrogative sentence.

Based on Konoha's previous image, the Third Kazekage still harbored some reservations about this bombshell news that had already set the ninja world on the brink of collapse.

After all, Sunagakure is now in dire straits, barely able to save itself.

The consequences of the defeat in the war directly affected every aspect of the ninja village. Sunagakure was not wealthy to begin with, and the daimyo's dissatisfaction was written all over his face after seeing that Sunagakure had not accomplished much in the war.

At this critical juncture, if Konoha is truly determined to wage war, then he can only brace himself and try to survive in the cracks.

But this aroused his deeper doubts.

Does Konoha really need to start a war?

With the richest land in the ninja world, it's no exaggeration to say that Konoha looks down on the other four countries as if they were poor relatives in the countryside.

Konoha has always been besieged, never actively expanding outwards.

What can you gain by taking the initiative to attack Sand Village? A pile of sand?

The most dangerous thing is not that Konoha took the initiative to attack, but the people who launched the attack.

Yu Ge of Fifty Strings, the number one genius of Konoha.

Konoha did not actively promote this genius, but the ninja world was no less familiar with him than with other well-known ninjas.

Within the Land of Fire, both nobles and ninjas have long suffered under the influence of the Fifty Strings, yet no one has been able to touch him until now, which speaks volumes about his value.

But no matter how valuable his mother is, she can't take on an entire ninja village by herself!

He even hit two in a row!

Being this awesome will leave you friendless!

After a long silence, he raised his head and looked at Ye Cang and the others who had returned to report on their duties.

"You encountered him on this mission. What was your first impression of him?"

Ye Cang's pretty face twisted into a bitter expression: "Kage-sama, I'm wondering if there's any false advertising here?"

"If it were fake, the Third Raikage would have already killed him with his fiery temper." The Third Kazekage shook his head slightly.

The reputation of a ninja village is directly related to its commission share, and no major ninja village can tolerate being publicized like this.

If it were Sunagakure that was being publicized like this, and the publicity was so widespread, even if the other party was Konoha, he would still bring people to have a good talk with the Third Hokage.

Yekura still couldn't believe it.

It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that my brain is temporarily unable to process such complex information.

From the day she entered the Ninja Academy, she was a genius of Sunagakure. She even caught the attention of the Sunagakure leadership with her Scorching Release technique. As long as things don't go wrong, she will definitely have a place in the Sunagakure leadership in the future.

Living in such an environment for a long time, she inevitably became somewhat arrogant.

But her pride vanished in front of that handsome young man.

Fifty Strings of Song, under eighteen years old this year, is afraid that the ninja world isn't violent enough?

If all the rumors are true—would the ninja world really allow such a monster to be born?

"Is there any movement from Kirigakure?" the Third Kazekage then asked.

"We can't get any information for now. The environment in Kirigakure is unique, and it's difficult for our people to obtain important intelligence from there." The elite Jonin shook his head.

After a moment of contemplation, the Third Kazekage made up his mind: "First, send someone to contact Konoha, then secretly dispatch a small team to Kumogakure and Iwagakure to test the waters. If the intelligence is true, then we'll test their words."

Yecang turned her little head: "Lord Kazekage, do you mean to form an alliance with them?"

"We have both options. It depends on how things develop. If all else fails, forming an alliance with Iwagakure and Kumogakure is our fallback plan."

Three generations of Feng Ying planned ahead.

If he were the newly appointed Kazekage, his youthful impetuosity might have led him to maintain an equal stance with Konoha. But now he has matured, a tragically mature adult, and his actions are now primarily driven by the village's interests.

He was unfamiliar with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

All we know is that these two swept through the Warring States period and laid the foundation for the Ninja Village era.

Not having witnessed their heyday doesn't prevent him from making connections.

If Konoha were to produce another ninja god—no, judging by his style, that person should be the ninja world's Asura.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village were both severely damaged. These two villages are large and powerful, so they can withstand the damage. The Hidden Sand Village, however, cannot.

Unfortunately, Sunagakure is quite close to Konoha. If the enemy were to turn their guns on them, he couldn't be sure how many hits Sunagakure could withstand.

"Lord Kazekage, I request permission to go to Konoha to investigate!" Yekura volunteered.

"you?"

Ye Cang nodded emphatically: "I want to see if that person is really that amazing!"

The arrogance of a genius is nothing new to the Third Kazekage, after all, he was just like that back in the day.

only----

Looking at Yekura's beautiful face, which seemed unsuitable for the barren land of Sunagakure, his mind began to wander.

"if----"

"Ahem, Yekura, the village has a serious task for you!"

He left the burden of negotiations entirely to Orochimaru. After Orochimaru had dealt with Ushima and Orochimaru, Igogen, along with the Eight-Tails who had voluntarily followed him, began his conquest of the Land of Lightning, centered around the Hidden Cloud Village.

Previously, due to a lack of storage scrolls, many things couldn't be taken. Now, with the free storage space provided by the local deity, what can't be taken?

Although Qian Wuxian isn't exactly short of money right now, he's already here.

Can you even call it tourism if you don't fight the nobles?

Under his extreme speed and the intimidation of the tailed beasts, the once arrogant nobles unanimously became reasonable, considering that hoarding money would only lead to a sluggish market economy, which in turn would affect fertility, which would lead to a serious aging population and a shortage of young labor, which would then affect the economy.

They all patted their chests, expressing their willingness to contribute to revitalizing the ninja world's economy.

Some nobles, fearing their contributions were insufficient, even hanged themselves from a tree branch in the southeast, saving the ninja world a large amount of food.

For such a noble person, Isogen chose to follow his wishes and had his ashes scattered into the sea.

When Orochimaru saw so much money, Leng Jun's face froze with a forced smile.

With so much money, there must be some for his research.

Not long ago, we received another major piece of news.

He'd slap himself if he couldn't come up with anything from this research.

Finally, amidst the thunderous farewell of the Land of Lightning's daimyo, the group crossed the border and returned to the Land of Fire.

On the way, they also encountered Sakumo Hatake and his group who were returning from the Land of Earth.
