My name is Sasuke, from being the richest man in Naruto to dominating the world

Chapter 144 Discussion, the relationship between the village and the country

Sasuke took the people away, leaving a mess behind.

"It's okay, everyone, please go back and do whatever you need to do."

The third generation gave Nara Shikaku a wink, and Shikaku understood and immediately stepped forward to "evict people".

After everyone dispersed, he went upstairs to the Hokage's office.

In the office, Sandai stood in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Two consultants, Koharu and Mito Monobu, were sitting on the sofa. One was rubbing his forehead vigorously, with a sad face; the other was frowning, looking very upset.

Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo stood alone at the desk, glanced at Shikaku and then looked away.

"...Leave it to me and let the ANBU cooperate with me. If it doesn't work, just send a few more Jonin. What does a mere Uchiha Sasuke mean? You are just too gentle, Hiruzen, because you have never been able to make up your mind. Let this kid keep getting bigger.

It's better to kill him directly. After he dies, even if the daimyo is dissatisfied, they can only endure it. Will the daimyo still fall out with the Leaf Village because of a dead person? "

Danzo said with a cold expression.

Nara Shikaku: "..."

Ok?
hmmmm?
What did I hear? What did Assistant Danzo say?
Attack Sasuke? kill him? Uchiha Sasuke who killed the Fire Country's finance minister, high-ranking nobleman, and daimyo's son-in-law?
Good guy, if Konoha Village really does this, it will definitely break up with the daimyo.

This is not a matter of not giving face to the daimyo, but a matter of completely crossing the boundaries of a ninja. This is running all the way towards the defense line of the public enemy of the ninja world.

"What happened? Can someone tell me?"

Shikaku took two steps forward and asked calmly.

His eyes moved back and forth between Danzo and the other three. As the jounin squad leader and the Hokage's "chief of staff", his status was equal to the three of them. No one was higher than the other.

They are considered the highest-ranking people in Konoha Village under the Hokage. Horizontal comparison, well, it's almost the same as Sasuke's position on the daimyo side.

"Shikaku, this is what happened..."

Danzo's appearance showed that he was not someone who would take the initiative to speak.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren looked at each other, and finally it was she who stepped forward and introduced Shikaku about what had just happened.

Shikaku frowned as he listened.

Opening Konoha Village? Join the Fire Nation’s dual transportation network? If you don't agree, you will build a new Konoha?

The last one almost made Shikaku laugh out loud.

But he was also aware of the possible impact of opening up Konoha Village.

The first to bear the brunt are the ordinary villagers, who are the real base of Konoha Village.

Since the establishment of Konoha Village, generations of ninjas have come from these villagers, especially those civilian ninjas.

Although their strength is generally average, they are the most important force in Konoha Village, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the mainstay.

Among them are characters like Jiraiya, Orochimaru and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Once Konoha is completely opened up, there will very likely be a brain drain. At that time, the foundation of Konoha Village will be affected. Apart from other things, how will the new blood of ninjas be replenished?

And more importantly...

"What if it affects the overall strength of the Fire Nation?"

This is an issue that Shikaku is more concerned about.

"What the finance minister means is that Konoha Village can deviate from the policies of ordinary villagers and improve villagers' treatment to ensure that the population does not drain out.

And don't forget, the Fire Country is not just a force of Konoha Village. "

Danzo said coldly.

"Adjusting policies will cost more money. The village's funds are already very tight. In this way, the bond between the village and the Fire Country will become deeper..."

Shikaku frowned slightly. The leaf village and the country of fire are already deeply bound, and they are two in one.

But in essence, they still have a cooperative relationship, and this is why the two "respect each other as guests".

If one party completely occupies a weak position and is completely dependent on the other party, the cooperative relationship will deteriorate and become a complete dependence relationship. No one can say what changes will occur by then.

But if you look at the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder, you can probably see why.

Therefore, opening up Konoha Village would really become troublesome, and it’s no wonder that the Third Generation didn’t want to agree.

As for the other force Danzo was talking about, Shikaku also understood that it was referring to the Demon Slayer Squad.

He didn't care that much about this, because the source of the Demon Slayer's power was the breathing method, which everyone could learn.

If you don't control the scope and allow it to spread, eventually everyone will be able to master the breathing method, but when that time comes, it will be the same as if everyone doesn't know the breathing method.

But to reach this level, I am afraid it will take ten or twenty years as a unit.

Generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much about this.

After all, ninjas possess powers that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What Shikaku is worried about is the relationship between the village and the country.

However, it is no longer a question of whether they agree or not. As Sasuke said, it is enough for them to agree. If they dare to agree, Sasuke will build a new town ten kilometers away from Konoha Village in minutes, so that the transportation network will finally be in place. New towns gather.

And it would be even more outrageous to directly name the new town Konoha, which is to create a new Konoha.

This is more troublesome than opening Konoha.

Whenever something like New Konoha appears, it means that the authority of Konoha Village has been threatened and weakened.

The standard for the ninja world has always been the one-country-one-village system, and some small countries even don't even have villages.

If the Fire Country creates one country and two villages, it would be a small matter for Konoha Village to lose face. What it will really lose is probably the legitimacy of "one country, one village" and the "five major villages".

This is the result of the joint efforts of the first Hokage and many ancestors of Konoha Village. If this is lost, the third Hokage can really commit suicide.

The more Lu Jiu thought about it, the more he thought about it. After thinking about it, he was shocked to find that the only choice left for them was really the last one.

That was to agree to Sasuke's request.

Open the Leaf Village!

Of course, there is another option that is not a choice, and that is to kill Sasuke. As Danzo said, if you kill him, everything will stop. Konoha Village will have no subsequent troubles, and the daimyo will not be able to live with Konoha because of a dead person. The village completely fell out.

Although this will inevitably lead to deep estrangement between the two parties...

"He chose his time very well..."

The third generation machine spoke, "The village has sent people one after another, and the strength is temporarily empty. The young people around him are very strong. Once the village takes action, if he escapes, the consequences will only be more troublesome."

"What about calling people back?"

Shikaku asked.

Although he has a good relationship with Haiichi and knows that Ino likes Sasuke, this situation is now directly related to the life and death of the village.

Besides, that's not my daughter.

"It's too late. He will come over tomorrow to sign the development treaty and return to the Fire City the day after tomorrow. We only have less than three days.

If he couldn't be killed before the treaty was delivered to the daimyo, there would be no point in taking action at that time. "

The third generation said in a deep voice, obviously he has been thinking about this issue.

"Then sign a treaty to stabilize him first, and then let Hinata keep an eye on him. All the jonin in the village who can still move will be dispatched to cooperate with the ANBU and the roots to attack him on his way back to the City of Fire!"

Danzo stood up again.
