Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

The arms race has already begun even before war has broken out.

Having dealt with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, Hiruzen Sarutobi headed to the second meeting room.

He contacted the leaders of the three hidden villages: Tianyin Village, Kusagakure Village, and Kagogakure Village.

They are not the leaders of the other side, but they have all obtained the leader's approval and can fully represent the position of their hidden village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to contact more hidden villages, but the Land of Iron was a neutral country and did not participate in the Shinobi World War.

These ninja villages, situated between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, serve as a geographical shield.

They only wanted to keep the battlefield within the boundaries of these villages, so that the rear of Konoha could be safe and sound.

"I wonder what the Hokage wants to discuss with us."

"War is about to break out, and I believe everyone here is well aware of this. I will not say anything more, but I promise you all that if the war spreads to the villages behind you, Konoha will do everything in its power to support you."

That sounds nice, but frankly, isn't it just about keeping the war on our own territory?

These villages certainly do not want war to break out on their own land.

however.

The five great ninja villages are all old scoundrels. Whether you agree or not, they will tacitly decide to set the battlefield on the territory of these small ninja villages.

In other words, they have no right to refuse.

The Second Shinobi World War was primarily fought in the Land of Rain, and the surrounding ninja villages were not spared.

The Land of Grass, the Land of Birds, the Land of Bears, and the Land of Cages were all affected, suffering heavy losses.

"Hokage, the Second Shinobi World War is not long ago, and we all know what happened. If the battlefield were on our territory, the losses would be so great that we would not be able to explain it to the Daimyo."

"Rest assured, everyone. Konoha is not Amegakure. We have no ambition to expand our territory."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reassured them that Konoha would not invade other countries' lands.

Of course, Konoha cannot predict how the war will turn out or what losses it will cause, nor will it share the burden for them.

Damn it, these powerful ninja villages are just using us as tools.

The representatives of the various ninja villages were furious, yet helpless.

Because when they left the meeting room and went to the meeting rooms of the Sand Village, Iwa Village, Cloud Village, and Mist Village, the content of the negotiations was the same.

Everyone in the ninja world says that Hiruzen Sarutobi is kind-hearted and the most benevolent Kage.

But in reality, which of those who can sit in this position can truly be honest and kind?

"We, the Kagura Ninja, need to see the rewards after paying such a high price."

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

interest.

The war is over. If we won, how should the spoils be distributed?

The two previous Shinobi World Wars ended in almost the same way.

They fought to the point that the five great ninja villages could no longer withstand the attacks and were forced to sit down and negotiate.

These negotiations were not simply about signing ceasefire agreements; they also involved the exchange of numerous interests.

Such as commissioned missions, these are the main sources of income for ninjas and ninja villages.

There is also land, food, resources, etc.

Ninjas don't farm; ninjas only kill!

These ninja villages, by accepting Hiruzen Sarutobi's invitation, had in fact chosen to rely on Konoha for survival.

Therefore, the distribution of benefits after the war must be clearly written down in black and white.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and then exhaled heavily.

"Everyone, this Ninja World War is different from the past."

During the First Shinobi World War, other ninja villages coveted the Land of Fire.

The death of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, gave hope to other ninja villages.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Amegakure, harboring ambitions, launched invasions against other countries.

But this time....

"The Kage of Sunagakure have disappeared, and their suspicions are the trigger for this war."

"So, Hokage, what do you mean?"

"The situation is still unclear. No one knows whether the Sand Village will suddenly find out the reason for the Kazekage's disappearance."

To put it bluntly, let's not bring up the issue of profit distribution anymore.

Let's talk about how to prepare if war breaks out, and how to work together to overcome the difficulties.

of course.

"If that day ever comes, Konoha will tell everyone here all the benefits it has gained. We might as well talk about it then."

Old fox!

All the representatives from the ninja villages cursed inwardly.

If we wait until the war is over, the biggest piece of meat will probably have already been eaten by Konoha, and all we'll see will be some soup, which we'll have to share with other ninja villages!

Some people even recalled Hiruzen Sarutobi's face back then, generously sharing soup with them, saying, "Konoha is generous, a little bit is enough."

But as the saying goes, a weak nation has no diplomacy.

Compared to Onoki's stinginess, the Third Raikage's domineering nature, and the impoverished Chiyo and the Sand Village, Konoha was the best choice.

...........

This meeting lasted for several hours.

Konoha finally formed an alliance with the other villages and formulated a war strategy and deployment.

Once the war breaks out in full force, Konoha's troops will immediately enter the territory of these villages, preventing the war from affecting Konoha and the Land of Fire.

"Weak nations have no diplomacy. Those ninja villages think too highly of themselves if they want to negotiate with Konoha."

"Sarutobi, you did very well this time."

Danzo did not miss the meeting and was fairly satisfied with the arrangements made for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Don't let your guard down, there is still danger behind us."

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Konoha once had an ally, Uzushio Village of the Land of Waves, to resist the Kirigakure.

As a result, Uzumaki Village has been destroyed, and the Uzumaki clan's ninjas are either dead or scattered.

Even Konoha, the village's biggest ally, now only has one Uzumaki Kushina.

As for the Land of Water, once they launch an attack, both the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning will have to be on high alert.

The enemy's attack will come from the sea, which is very troublesome.

This kind of thing should be done by our veteran comrades.

"Danzo, I hope you can go to the rear and personally take charge. You are the person I trust the most."

Guo Ying's expression froze, but she had no choice but to accept this heavy responsibility.

Who told him to be the Dark Side of Konoha?

"I will have the Root ninjas infiltrate the Land of Water with all their might."

"Then please."

Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a satisfied expression, but it immediately turned into worry.

If possible, he hoped this war would not break out.

"Have you found Jiraiya?"

"We've already contacted Lord Jiraiya, and he's on his way back to the village."

"That's good."

From this moment on, Konoha officially entered a state of war, and everyone had to be prepared to rush to the battlefield at any time.

If possible.....

"Go find Tsunade and try to persuade her to come back."

"Tell her that Konoha is the result of her grandfather's hard work."

Chapter 53 Reactions from All Parties

The Chunin Exams are over.

The leaders of the major ninja villages returned to their villages at full speed, carrying with them the alliance with Konoha.

Along with them, the name Kazan also went back.

"What? The Hidden Cloud Village has already mastered the technology to perfectly control Jinchuriki?"

"That's right. We saw with our own eyes that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja easily entered Tailed Beast Transformation and maintained his rationality."

Sunagakure Village.

Ebizo brought the news back to the village and told his sister, Chiyo.

"Also, sister! We need to be careful of this person. If possible, kill him as soon as possible."

.......

"A taijutsu ninja who defeated the perfect Jinchūriki?"

Are you kidding me?

Hidden Rock Village.

They once formed an alliance with Konoha, but now they are completely estranged, all because of Madara Uchiha's dominance.
