Chapter 234 Who is helping Kusanagi?

  The Kingdom of Thunder is not stupid, it will not put such a big effort just to solve the enemy for Konoha.

   Moreover, with Grass Ninja Village as a partition, the Kingdom of Thunder can reduce a lot of capital investment in border defense.

  They know very well that the strength of Kusanagi Village is not enough to defend against Konoha alone, and they will definitely hold the thigh of the Kingdom of Thunder in turn.

  This Grass Ninja Village, which integrates many small countries, will bring a lot of benefits to Yunyin.

   "So, see."

  Sarime Hiruzaru Sarutobi was smoking a pipe, the smoke covered his face, "Konoha is indeed powerful, but not strong enough."

Otherwise, the current situation will not be that the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder support Kusanagi Village to cause trouble for Konoha, but if it is the other way around, go east and west, erode their land little by little, and arrange the Konoha ninjas who are responsible for protection. to these small countries.

   Mifune was still a little bit unwilling to give up, "Are you just letting Kusanagi challenge Konoha like this?"

  The current situation is even more severe than what he knew before. If it continues, the Kingdom of Iron will really have no hope of restoring the country. Konoha must be called to act.

  Faced with Mifune's questioning and provocation, Hiruzaru Sarutobi just replied lightly, "It doesn't matter, Konoha can afford to wait."

  The Land of Fire is the country with the richest resources among the countries, and the ninjas of Konoha are also the most potential kind in each ninja village.

  Hokage never took the initiative to invade other countries. Why? It is not as long as the smooth development is a victory.

  Other ninja villages also know this truth well, so they have launched wars many times to consume Konoha's war potential.

   Mifune was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

   Indeed, it was not Konoha who was anxious, but himself, but he couldn't ask for a higher condition.

  Although the funds taken away from the Iron Country are quite a lot, it is far from enough to fool Konoha into the vortex of war.

   Mifune was very disappointed. The two had talked for so long, and Sandai didn't let go at all in this regard. He didn't even mention a high price condition, and he didn't give him a chance to bargain at all.

   "Compared to letting Konoha take action..."

   Hiruzaru Sarutobi took the document in the other party's hand, and said slowly, "The restoration of the country is still up to you."

   "The invasion of Grass Ninja Village screened for you in a disguised form. With those people around, there is no hope at all."

   "On this one, Konoha will give you some help."

   Mifune expressed his gratitude indifferently with a gloomy expression, and left the Hokage room as if he had lost his soul.

   After watching Mifune leave, Hiruzaru Sarutobi put down his pipe and poured himself a cup of tea.

   While the heat was rising, Sandai's eyes fell on the information, and his eyes were slightly condensed.

  The conservative strategy mentioned by Mifune before is not fake, but it is really implemented, but it barely keeps Konoha from losing money.

  When everyone else is making money, not making money is a loss.

   Moreover, he is sure that apart from what is on the surface, the Kingdom of Grass must have hidden power, otherwise, it would be impossible to move so quickly.

  Intelligence, resource mobilization... In all aspects, this cannot be done with the little manpower in Kuanin Village, no matter how talented it is.

  As Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has been in charge of the largest ninja village for decades, he knows this very well.

   So, who is helping Kusanagi?

  Three generations took a sip of hot tea, "Let the group of warriors test it first..."

  Friend or enemy, this relationship is not eternal. If the other party really poses such a big threat, Yan Yin and Yun Yin will turn against each other at any time.

  …

   After leaving the Hokage Room, Mifune waited for a while at the agreed izakaya, and soon joined his men.

   Mifune held the wine glass and asked eagerly, "How is it, what did Danzo say?"

  Samurai Chongsuke lowered his head, "Boss, I haven't seen Danzo at all."

"well…"

  The third captain sighed, poured the wine into his mouth, and drank the wine glass by glass.

  He didn't count on Danzo at all. It is said that the opponent has suffered heavy losses recently and his strength has been greatly damaged.

   But it is frustrating not to see even this last hope.

  Looking at the leader's dejected state, the samurai Chongsuke didn't underestimate him because of it, but he was a little lucky.

  If the leader died while fleeing before, then he should be the one who is frowning here now.

  The burden of restoring the country is not easy, and it cannot be carried by just one person.

  After drinking a few glasses with Mifune, the samurai Chongsuke suddenly paused, hesitated for a long time before saying, "My lord, when I was investigating in Konoha, I accidentally heard a piece of news that might be useful."

   "What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Mifune grabbed the wine glass, his face stained a little drunk.

   "The Uchiha who met us in Tango Country before awakened a new kind of pupil technique blood succession called Blood Wheel Eye."

  Samurai Chongsuke looked at the leader who hadn’t taken it seriously for a while, and said solemnly, “He didn’t do it by himself, but he got it after spending a lot of money on something called ‘physical strengthening surgery’.”

   Mifune stopped pouring wine in the air, turned his head, "You mean..."

   "As you can imagine, this surgery can give a person a huge boost in strength."

   Speaking of this, the samurai Shusuke paused, "But at the same time, this kind of surgery also has a lot of risks, so Konoha has included it in the forbidden surgery."

   "Risk..."

  Mifune repeated these two words, and then asked, "That's all you want to tell me? Who performed this operation on him?"

   "Oshemaru in 'Sannin'." The samurai Shousuke scratched his head, "That's what I found out..."

"enough."

   Mifune stood up suddenly, his face was slightly red from the smell of alcohol, but his eyes were not drunk at all.

  …

  At the same time, Danzo secretly received another group of samurai who refused to come to visit.

  Danzo's face was expressionless, with a cold light in his eyes, "Kusunin, what are you looking for me for? The agreement announced the day before yesterday was not stingy with declaring war with Konoha."

   "But you still met me, without the help of Root, I can't get in Konoha."

   Kusanagi who was wearing a grimace mask chuckled softly, "It seems that, as rumored, your life in Konoha is not so easy."

   "If you came today to annoy me, you've succeeded."

   Danzo stared at Kusanagi in front of him, with a fierce light in his eyes.

   "Sorry, sorry, accidentally told the truth."

   Onimian Kusanagi straightened his posture and said, "This time, we want to do business with Danzo-sama."

   "It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the Kingdom of Fire will be semi-closed, and normal business activities will be restricted."

   "But... secretly trading in private, but not affected."

   "The latter requires sufficient intelligence and personnel to provide cover, and this should not be difficult for Danzo-sama."

  Long time? restricted?

  Danzo sneered inwardly as he looked at the ghost-faced ninja who was talking eloquently in front of him.

   Really thought that old guy Hirizan would let a group of Kusanagi ride on his head?
