I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto.

Chapter 663: Purchasing situations are often accompanied by rising prices of goods, and the same goes for asking for help.

"Interesting! Interesting!"

In Tsuchikage's office, Onoki's face was flushed. He touched his strawberry nose, looked at his son Huang Tu, and asked, "What do you think?"

Huangtu's face was full of confusion and he said: "How can we treat it? Isn't it because Sunagakure Village has been defeated in succession in the past three years and they want to stop the losses in time? Moreover, a large part of the reason why they participated in the war is for the Kazekage dispute.

Now that the Kazekage war is over, Ye Cang has won and gathered Rasa's forces. Naturally, there is no need to participate in the war anymore. After all, they can't defeat Konoha at all.

At most, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind refuses to continue paying, and Sunagakure Village is so barren that it cannot afford to fight the next war. "

"It has improved a bit, and I can see the three-level reasons."

Onoki nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He had been cultivating loess for many years, but loess had never been effective until he was hit by the Fourth Hokage of Tatsuma.

After several life-and-death battles, Loess has grown a lot. Although he still cannot meet Ying's requirements, at least he no longer just has strength.

Maybe, in his lifetime, he can really see his son become successful? Now Loess has grown into the best ninja in Iwagakure Village, and has inherited the will of stone as firm as a rock.

In the past wars, even he, the third generation Tsuchikage, had doubts about himself several times, but only Loess, with his pure heart, could always stand up when the village needed it most.

Although it can't change the situation, it can always provide spiritual support to the Iwa ninjas. From this point of view, Yellow Earth has done even better than his Tsuchikage father.

It’s just that the vision is not enough.

Onoki said like a guide: "During this war, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind never gave Sunagakure Village military expenses. Sunagakure Village has always been overdrafted for the war, and they have indeed reached the point where they can no longer overdraft.

But. This is not the reason for convening the Five Kage Talks. After all, Sunagakure Village even held talks with major precious metal institutions a few days ago, which caused the gold price in the Kingdom of Wind to plummet. We also took the opportunity to make a profit. Have you forgotten? ?

It can be seen from this that Ye Cang does not want to stop the war. There are more reasons why she convened the Five Shadows Talks. For example, the Daimyo of the Country of Wind not only cut off military expenditures, but also cut off other subsidies. .

Think about it again, why is this? Why would the Kingdom of Wind rather end the war than completely offend Sunagakure Village? "

"What good will this do to the great names of the Kingdom of Wind?"

Huangtu scratched his temples, and Onoki smiled even more. This son already knows how to think in the right direction, analyzing from the perspective of interests!

"The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind should not do this unless someone else promises him a huge benefit, so huge that in the heart of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, it is a benefit that is more valuable than the entire Sunagakure Village."

Hearing what Huang Tu said, Ohno couldn't help but nod. Seeing this, Huang Tu became more confident and continued his analysis: "This should be a game between the five major countries.

It won't be our Earth Country. After all, our negotiation went smoothly this time and the daimyo has agreed to allocate funds.

It will not be the Kingdom of Thunder. The death of the third generation Raikage, the Kingdom of Thunder has to avenge this. Moreover, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder is the main war faction.

It shouldn’t be the Kingdom of Water. The Kirigakure Village suffered the heaviest losses in the final battle. This was the first foreign war of the Mizukage Goji Yagura. In addition, the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Water also suffered heavy losses due to Konoha’s actions. Their The famous names should also support it.

Then only the Fire Nation is left, but why? Konoha is the winner, and they are the ones who should least want the war to end. "

"Tatsuma Sakamoto is so ambitious."

Onoki directly expressed his inference, saying: "He touched the bottom line of the Fire Nation Daimyo, which made the Fire Nation Daimyo willing to give up the profits from the war to restrict Konoha, or in other words, Sakamoto Tatsuma. "

Huang Tu nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's what you said before. It's not that ninjas can't engage in production, but they can't engage in production, right?"

"Probably."

Onoki narrowed his eyes, looked down at the fax letter, and said, "However, the Daimyo of the Fire Country may not be able to achieve his goal that easily. If Tatsuma Sakamoto dares to do this, there must be complete arrangements."

"Are you saying that this Five Shadows Talk cannot bring about an end to the war?"

"No, this Five Shadows Conference cannot be held at all."

Ohnoki shook his head, and then said: "Don't rush to reply, let's see Konoha's reaction."

In the palace of the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Fire, Tatsuma, who was missing the young lady, was holding a Ninja novel that was very popular in the Daming Mansion and reading it with relish.

Tanhe asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Hokage, the Five Shadows Conference is held in Sunagakure Village. Don't you need to go back to the village to deal with it?"

"Need not."

Tatsuma waved his hand, not caring about the news brought by Tanhe. He turned a page and said, "I heard that there is a ninja card game popular in Daming Mansion. The card characters are based on the ninjas of the two recent ninja wars. It’s scheduled to unfold?”

Tanhe was stunned. He didn't know why Tatsuma didn't care about the situation in the ninja world, but cared about this kind of children's game, but he still answered:

"Yes, it is quite popular. You have also been set as the rarest limited character card."

Tatsuma finally put down the novel in his hand and said: "Let the publisher go to Konoha when he has time. If he is in Damingfu, just invite him to come and interview with me. The portrait of Konoha ninja has not been authorized for him to use. ah."

"This"                   somewhat speechless, what is the matter with the fourth generation Hokage, who does not care at all about big things, but is so concerned about these small things? But he could only nod and said:

"When I go back, I will ask someone to inquire about it. Then I won't disturb you. If you want to go back to the village, just tell the other waiters. The Kunimochi Daimyo said that you are free to come and go."

"Ah."

Tatsuma nodded, picked up the novel and continued reading. Tanhe scratched his head, adjusted his glasses, and exited Tatsuma's room.

He didn't understand what Tatsuma wanted to do. Could it be that he wasn't going to attend the Five Shadows Conference? If the Five Shadows Talks cannot be held, it will be impossible to discuss ending the war?

But isn't this too willful? And such a clumsy strategy is not something the fourth generation Hokage would do.

Or is it that before leaving the village and coming to Damingfu, Sakamoto Tatsuma had guessed what might happen here and made preparations in advance?

Sand Hidden Village, inside the Kazekage's office.

Luo Sha looked at Ye Cang, who was covered in dust and rushed back to Sunagakure Village overnight, and said: "The fourth generation, I have sent the initiative to convene the Five Shadows Conference as you told me, but I have already sent it to every village.

Do we really have to cooperate with Konoha this time? If we fail, I'm afraid there will no longer be any land for our Sand Hidden Village to survive in this country of wind. "

Ye Cang sat back in his seat, looked at the documents Luo Sha handled on his behalf, and said at the same time: "Do we have any other options? Today the Daimyo can cut off our funds, so even if we compromise today, what about tomorrow?

And can we still regret it now? Don't forget, how much gold you have has been sent to the Land of Fire. "

Rasa sighed and said: "Yondaime, to be honest, I have even been wondering these days whether this is a plan set by you and Sakamoto Tatsuma against me. I am afraid that my combat strength is only half.

If things really don't go as planned, and war breaks out again, I won't even be able to fight as a first-tier combat force. "

As a ninja with the alluvial gold magnetic escape blood successor, Rasa's combat effectiveness is inseparable from the amount of alluvial gold. The third generation Kazekage is okay, the sand iron is not valuable, but his alluvial gold

And this time, in order to cooperate with Ye Cang and for Sunagakure Village, he spent a lot of money. If Ye Cang cheated him, or Konoha cheated him, then he would die extremely thoroughly this time.

He was no longer as good as Hagura who became Shukaku Jinchuuriki. If he cooperated with his wife Garura, he could still compete, but after losing so much placer gold, he probably could only protect himself.

Yekura also frowned, looked out the window, looked in the direction of the Fire Country, and said: "Actually, I am also afraid. I have never really understood Sakamoto Tatsuma, but in order for Sunagakure Village not to be controlled by the daimyo, we I can only take a gamble."

She shook her head, rubbed her face, picked up the wooden cup she had just filled with water, took a sip, and said, "Have all the sand ninjas withdrawn?"

"Well, all the chuunin and above have returned to the village. As for the genin, I left some of them in various places so that they won't be so conspicuous."

Rasa replied, and Ye Cang nodded and said: "With Konoha's efficiency, it will only take a day or two. Either we get rid of the financial difficulties in one fell swoop, or we lead Suna Ninja out of this desert as sinners."

Hearing this, Luo Sha also lamented and said, "I hope everything goes well."

In Konoha, the Hokage Building, in the office of the Hokage Assistant, there is a map of the ninja world on Minato's desk, with countless signs on it.

That was the dark place in the ninja world, where the gold exchange station was located.

Konoha has been collecting information about the gold exchange from a long time ago. Occasionally, it will operate on several locations of the gold exchange to vent some of its anger. At the same time, it will look for deeper information about the gold exchange and the patterns of its actions.

Although all the information about the gold exchange station has not been found out, it is enough. Whether it is using the gold exchange station or destroying all the gold exchange stations in the Land of Fire, it is quite easy for Konoha.

Even the gold exchange stations in other countries have been investigated by Konoha, but Konoha does not intend to attack the gold exchange stations with all its strength. After all, some things need to be done in the dark, by people who lurk in the darkness. Completed.

Minato looked at Yamanaka Haiichi who walked into his office and asked, "Have the arrangements been settled?"

"Well, a total of 250 bounty targets from the five major countries have been assigned. Before I even left, someone had already accepted the bounty entrustment.

Thanks to the gold in Sand Hidden Village, the governors stationed in the city from the five major countries are now more attractive than ever. "

Haiyi had some mockery on his face and said, "We are doing something to eliminate harm for the people, right?"

Minato nodded and said: "This money came from Sunagakure Village. We are just helping to pass on the information. It is Sunagakure Village that really "removes harm for the people". We cannot take credit."

However, although they are all corrupt officials, people's livelihood may still be turbulent in a short period of time. We cannot control other countries. Let's maintain stability as much as possible within the Fire Country. "

Less than twelve hours after the invitation to the Five Shadows Talks was sent out, the Kingdom of Wind lost its first important person, just like a signal, and then news of the assassination of important people came from all over the five major countries.

The four kingdoms of fire, earth, thunder, and water reacted one after another, and many ninjas took action and began to search for the murderer. Only Sand Hidden Village, after receiving the third notification from the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Wind, responded with an irrelevant letter. letters.

"Request for Funding for the First Ten-Year Economic Development Plan of Sand Hidden Village"

The contents of the reply letter were leaked within just a few hours, and the shinobi villages in the other four countries also stopped taking action. In the Tsuchikage Building, there were even commissioners who started drafting a request for funding for the economic development plan applicable to Iwagakure Village. .

Konoha also issued a diplomatic letter to other countries at this time, which contained a notice regarding the suspension of accepting commissions from other countries out of consideration for the safety of its own ninjas during the duration of the war.

Iwagakure was the first to follow suit, directly copying the text of Konoha's diplomatic letter, changing "Konoha Hidden Village" to "Iwagakure" and sending it to other countries. Other ninja villages also followed suit a short time later. Follow up by issuing the same diplomatic letter.

That night, at the banquet in the Daimyo Palace of the Land of Fire, the fourth generation Hokage Sakamoto Tatsuma took a Ninja novel and asked for advice from the Daimyo Matsuketsu of the Land of Fire:

"Matsuknot, you're saying that in these ninja novels, the protagonist always unconditionally forgives ignorant people who have offended him? This is not ninja at all."
