A fighter from Hyuga

Most importantly, as Iwagakure declared war on Konoha, how could Kirigakure just stand there and watch?

Even if Kirigakure didn't follow Iwagakure to attack Konoha immediately, how could Kirigakure sell the war supplies?

In this way, the currency in Iwagakure's hands will become just pieces of waste paper.

And in this case, how could Iwagakure declare war on Konoha?

And when Iwagakure chose to give up, even if Kirigakure wanted to declare war on Konoha, they couldn't do it.

The reason is simple. In a new war, whoever strikes first will inevitably fall into a passive situation. "

"So, the key to the problem is to get Yunyin to accept our commission."

After listening to Shusi's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen roughly understood Shusi's thoughts.

"Ah."

Shusi nodded when he heard this. In fact, to put it bluntly, Konoha took the initiative to choose one of the three hidden villages and directly gave enough benefits to make this hidden village stand on Konoha's side.

In this way, we can break the momentum formed by the three major hidden villages joining together.

Are you kidding me? Who would pay protection fees to three families at once?

And this money can be recovered from Yuyin.

After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, took out a blank scroll from the drawer and began to write.

"Shuji, I need you to return to the village first and give this scroll to Utatane Koharu, then you go to the Land of Thunder to leave the Flying Thunder God Mark, and finally bring the delegation to the Land of Thunder."

While writing, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Shuji.

It would definitely not be possible to let the delegation slowly move towards the Kingdom of Thunder.

If it takes too long, maybe Kumogakure and the others will have united to negotiate with Konoha.

And if Shusi were to go directly to Kumogakure to negotiate, that would be even worse.

What if the Cloud Village wanted a pair of Byakugan or a Hyuga family more and took direct action against Shuji.

The Hyuga clan will fight with me to the death.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to let Shuji use Flying Thunder God to bring the delegation to the Land of Lightning.

"it is good."

Shusi nodded upon hearing this, and then continued to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"So, are we going to intercept the Sunagakure team that's transporting supplies?"

"Of course. You go back to the village first, and then tell Danzo to let Hatake Sakumo lead the team to bring back the supplies from Sunagakure."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately raised his head, handed the sealed scroll in his hand to Shusi, and said to Shusi.

As for supplies, once on the battlefield, whoever is stronger gets them.

"Oh, I see."

Shuji nodded upon hearing this and took the scroll handed over by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"If you really can't bring it back, just destroy it."

Looking at Shuji in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"it is good."

Xiu Si nodded when he heard that, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

His gaze shifted and Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked at Nawaki and Mikoto standing in the office.

"You two should go back and rest first."

Pursing his lips, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only say this.

Tsunade is on a mission with Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Neither of them could participate in Xiusi's mission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would not feel very reassured if these two people were handed over to other senior ninjas.

So... go back to the dormitory and rest...

"Ah."

The two nodded after hearing this, turned around and left Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

"call!"

Seeing the office door closed, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long breath.

Then he sat on the chair and slowly closed his eyes.

It's really annoying...

Even though we won the battle, we still had to pay money to other villages.

But there is no other way. If a war really breaks out, the losses may not be just this much.

Ugh……

We still need to improve the village's strength...

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

If the first Hokage was still alive, there wouldn't be any war...

……

"You guys are so stupid..."

Kumogakure, the Raikage looked at the scroll in his hand and sighed helplessly.

Not only did they fail to bring back Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki candidate, they even lost three ninjas because of it...

Chapter 149, The Irritated Raikage

Even when Konoha brought the candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back to the village, it also killed a Kazekage and a tailed beast.

Really...

On one hand, there was the loss of his own village, and on the other hand, there was the great victory achieved by Konoha.

Comparing the two, to be honest, the Raikage feels very uncomfortable right now.

"Ah...let's all go."

With a long sigh, the Raikage waved his hands and dismissed all the ninjas in the office.

So what if I feel uncomfortable?

There are eight tails inside that frequently destroy the house, and outside...

If you want to fight Konoha, you need to go all the way through the Moon Country and the Hot Spring Country to reach the border of Konoha.

At the same time, a certain amount of force must be left to guard against Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

After all, if they take the water route, Iwagakure and Kirigakure can both appear at the border of the Land of Lightning in a very short time.

During the First Ninja World War, if Iwagakure and Kirigakure had not fought first, it would not have been so easy for Kumogakure to go to war with Konoha.

What's more, the Hidden Cloud Village has just recovered from the shadow of the First Ninja World War.

You know, the second generation Raikage and the second generation Hokage died together.

However, after returning to Konoha, the economy was restored peacefully with the help of the daimyo.

However, Yunyin has experienced a long period of civil strife.

In the midst of that civil unrest...

Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who possess the Nine-Tails' chakra, are really good at fighting.

The artifact left behind by the Six Paths Sage is really disgusting...

Therefore, the current Raikage can only swallow this loss silently and watch Konoha win without being able to do anything.

Well, I did, but failed...

How annoying!

How could there be such a weak village in the ninja world?

After all, he is a Kage who possesses a bloodline limit...

Could you hold on a little longer?

If you can let Konoha suffer a little more, even if you can hold on for another three months, no, two months will be fine...

……

"It's been a long time since I've experienced this feeling of traveling through time and space through Flying Thunder God."

In a hotel in the Land of Lightning, Utane Koharu slowly closed her eyes.

Savor the feeling of this moment carefully.

The last time, when he was being carried through time and space by Flying Thunder God, he was still a very young jonin of Konoha.

"Practice well and don't let Tsunade down, our little genius of Konoha."

Slowly opening her eyes, Utane Koharu reached out and patted Shusi's shoulder with a smile in her eyes.

"I will."

Upon hearing this, Shusi nodded immediately and said to Utane Koharu.

"This trip to Yunyin may be very dangerous..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiu Si took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai from his arms.

"No need. If Kumogakure really wants to attack us, you won't be able to support us in time."

Seeing this, Utatane Koharu slowly raised her hand to reject Shuji's Flying Thunder God Kunai.

It’s not that Utane Koharu looks down on Shuji, it’s mainly because... the last ninja who developed the Flying Thunder God Technique has died in Kumogakure.

"Well... maybe it's difficult for me to support you in time, but if you really have an accident in Kumogakure, I can leave this in Kumogakure Village."
