In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

However, although everyone knows these things, they still have to do it for the sake of face.

Li Fan took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner excitement, and said in a trembling voice:

"Isn't this not good?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to say about the Fire Country Daimyo?"

Seeing this, the Third Hokage stroked his long beard and continued:

"It doesn't matter. It's just a loss of my reputation."

"It's just that, even though I am the Hokage, Konoha is not my sole authority. I still have to give some explanation."

Li Fan lowered his head to hide the expression in his eyes.

Sure enough, this old guy came to ask for benefits.

But that's normal. If he gave the benefits unconditionally, Li Fan would still feel uneasy.

Various thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and finally Li Fan looked up and smiled:

"Most of us Sand Ninjas are reckless. When the time comes for the various Ninjutsu copies sent by Kumogakure, I'm afraid we will be panicked after receiving them."

"I hope Konoha will send a group of ninjas to help sort it out. Please don't forget to bring enough paper and pens to help record it."

The Third Hokage's cloudy eyes showed a satisfied look, and he nodded happily:

"As a staunch ally, this little help is of course no problem."

Looking at the distance, I saw two people whispering there.

Mifune shook his head. With his excellent hearing, he naturally heard what the two were talking about.

after a while.

I saw two figures who seemed to be preparing to leave.

Mifune, who was getting a little impatient, walked up quickly and started saying some polite words.

After a few minutes.

Looking at the two iron birds called Flying Swallows disappearing into the horizon, Sanchuan let out a soft cry.

Even though the Five Kage Tournament was a bit tense, fortunately it did not develop into physical fights.

As the Iron Kingdom responsible for organizing the Five Kage Tournament.

Although I was busy for several days, I received rich rewards, both obvious and hidden.

As long as we have this friendship.

Even if these ninjas go crazy again in the future and want to start the Fourth Ninja World War.

The Iron Kingdom shouldn't be involved, right?

At the border of the Land of Lightning, a flying swallow entered the Land of Lightning at high speed and flew towards the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village was beaten severely, and it wasn't our Hidden Cloud Village who did it. Why do they want us to compensate?"

You Muren, who was sitting in the seat on the left, finally couldn't suppress his inner anger and said indignantly.

Kirabi adjusted his sunglasses and smiled:

"Of course we know it wasn't us. The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village also know it."

"But who made Konoha and the Sand Village not believe it? They are the victors, and we don't have the confidence to reason with them."

Although Yukito knew this, she still complained:

"But we have to pay 300 million to the Hidden Rain Village, compensate Konoha, and copy the ninjutsu to the Hidden Sand Village."

"If we keep doing this, we will have to live very tightly for the next ten years. Not to mention expanding the army, it will be difficult to even restore the number of ninjas before the war!"

After complaining about these few words.

Yukito suddenly realized something, and she subconsciously looked at the female Sand Ninja who was controlling Feiyan.

The female Sand Ninja just silently controlled Feiyan, with no expression on her beautiful face.

It was as if he hadn't heard their conversation.

Kirabi also glanced at the female Sand Ninja, and then said nonchalantly:

"As long as you think about it, there is always a way. Don't be discouraged."

Then he pulled a paper map from his pocket.

Unfold the map and look at the area that is circled in a small circle.

He silently said in his heart:

"It's so remote, are you really just growing crops?"

……

"It's definitely a conspiracy. Planting crops? You can fool a three-year-old kid like that!"

"This piece of land on the map is very desolate. It's impossible for crops to survive here!"

The man's roar rang out in the conference room.

Ohnoki, who had just returned a few minutes ago, covered his ears in disgust.

Huang Tu, who was sitting next to him, felt his ears buzzing. He frowned and said:

"Old Zi, speak properly!"

Following the yellow earth's gaze, you can see an old man with red hair and beard, wearing red clothes.

Seeing Huang Tu looking at him, the old man turned his head away and said coldly, "

"speak nicely?"

"I'm talking properly now!"

This old man is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.

Like the previous Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han, he is also a veteran and powerful man who has served as Jinchuriki for decades.

He is also a very rare opponent of the Third Tsuchikage in the Iwagakure Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, who had served as the Tsuchikage for decades, had an authority in the Iwagakure Village that could not be challenged.

His authority in Konoha is far higher than that of the Third Hokage.

Lao Zi spoke to Tsuchikage and Huang Tu in a very rude manner.

Almost all the Iwagakure ninja present glared at this.

Old Zi, who had angered everyone, looked directly at them fearlessly and said coldly:

"Why, you still want to get a new Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Okay, I'm tired of facing your discriminatory looks every day anyway!"

The Iwagakure Village has always emphasized collective consciousness, which has also made the Iwagakure extremely united.

But the situation of the Jinchūriki was not so easy.

Although it cannot be said that they are discriminated against.

However, it is also common to reject the Jinchūriki openly or covertly.

It seemed that the situation was about to develop in another direction.

The Third Tsuchikage finally spoke:

"No one thinks so. It's just you, Lao Zi, who thinks wrongly."

Old Zi suddenly turned his head and stared at the Third Tsuchikage with a glare:

"Then let me tell you. You are really getting old and confused!"

"How could they actually do something like ceding territory in exchange for peace?"

"Even if we have to pay compensation and live a tight life in the future, it is better than such a humiliating thing as ceding territory in exchange for peace!"

The Third Tsuchikage, who had been holding back his temper, finally lost his patience. He suddenly jumped in front of the table and shouted angrily:

"Shut up, everyone has to pay, then how much money do we have to pay?"

"You are a captive Jinchūriki who has never been in charge of a family. How can you know how hard I work?!"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you attend this meeting!"

Lao Zi also stood up in exasperation, clapped his hands hard, and the table in front of him instantly broke into several pieces.

"Then I won't attend this meeting. Do you really think I like to listen to your one-sided opinions?!"

After shouting this, Lao Zi threw his hands away and walked out of the meeting room without looking back.

Huang Tu frowned slightly, stood up and said softly:

"Father, didn't you say something too much?"

As soon as Ohnoki said that, he already felt a little regretful.

However, in front of so many people, he still couldn't save face and could only say coldly:

"It's okay. Anyway, over the years, we have quarreled with each other more than ten times every year. In the past, he would just sulk for a while and then come to admit his fault."

Huang Tu hesitated for a while, but finally sat down and nodded.

Ōnoki's relationship with the Jinchūriki had always been fairly ordinary.

Since the Five-Tails Jinchuriki was replaced by a young man, the relationship is actually pretty good.

However, Lao Zi, who had been a Jinchūriki for decades, had a very bad relationship with Ōnoki.

Unfortunately, the Jinchūriki cannot be easily replaced.

Ōnoki didn't dare to really hit him, so he could only quarrel with him.

Lao Zi returned to his residence amidst the strange looks from people around him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally an idea popped into his mind.

Once this idea came up, it firmly occupied an important position in my mind and could never be shaken off.

Half an hour later.

Lao Zi's residence is now empty.

Only a few Iwagakure ANBU who were knocked unconscious were lying on the ground.

Outside Iwagakure Village.

Old Zi was running at full speed, looking at the surrounding environment, and hummed as he ran:

"Humph, a village like this that cedes land in exchange for peace is no longer worth staying in."

After running at full speed for several hours, they were already far away from the Iwagakure Village.

Lao Zi suddenly stopped and stared at the swirling vortex in front of him with a frown.

Under Lao Zi's gaze, a young man wearing a vortex mask walked out.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the first time I came out, I would just meet the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. Could it be that God is beginning to favor me?"

"How about you become my tool from now on?"

Lao Zi frowned. The young man in front of him knew that he was the Jinchūriki, but he still dared to speak like that?

"I just ran out and I'm in a good mood, but since you are so blind, don't blame me."

Two hours later.

Upon learning that Lao Zi had escaped, the Iwagakure Anbu rushed over and finally searched here.

The Anbu members, who had originally given up hope, suddenly discovered that the terrain in front of them was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.

They stopped there and began their search.

After a few minutes.

An Anbu finally found the unconscious Lao Zi on a tree.

Lao Zi slowly opened his eyes and faced the Anbu's questioning.
