Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 669: The three major ninja villages are conspiring!

"If you attack the castle tower, the Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja armies will give up attacking Konoha!"

The messenger's words shocked several people.

"Will the Rock and Cloud Ninjas be obedient?"

Mizutomon En expressed his concerns.

"You don't need to worry about these. Since we have proposed this, we must be confident!"

"And for this operation, we will provide a special amount of funds and supplies, as well as a large number of ninja reinforcements!"

"And the Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja armies will join you in the fight!"

"But all of this needs to be kept secret and must not be leaked before the plan begins!"

...

The messenger said something that made several people gasp.

No one expected that the daimyos would play so cruelly.

As for why they did this, they didn't ask because everyone knew the reason.

The castle tower is at odds with the nobles and daimyo.

For example, in the castle tower area, not to mention being handed over to their management, even if nobles enter there will be people watching them, as if they are not welcome and want you to get out immediately.

It can be said that the castle tower did not conceal its hostility towards the aristocracy at all.

If it were not for this, no matter how much money the castle tower made and how coveted the surrounding fertile land was, the daimyo and nobles would at most come in secret and would not use such drastic measures.

Because we cannot allow this situation to continue to happen.

Once people see that they can develop better by doing this, the nobles and daimyo will be in danger.

Therefore, it was inevitable and not a surprise at all that the daimyo and the nobles tried every means to destroy the castle tower.

What is unexpected is that such a big move would happen at this time.

The three major ninja villages attacked at the same time, leaving absolutely no chance for anyone.

"There are too many things involved. We must discuss this internally before we can give you an answer!"

Jiraiya thought about it and decided to discuss it first.

The stakes are high!

Even though he dreamed of attacking the castle tower, he had to be careful when it came to Konoha.

For example, if the Iwagakure ninja and the Kumogakure ninja suddenly turned against each other and headed straight for Konoha, although the possibility of this happening is not high, it must be taken into consideration.

Just like the other party would also consider what to do if Konoha directly stabbed them in the back when they attacked.

The good news is that with the guarantees of the daimyos, there is still basic trust.

After all, the ninja village needs funds and resources from the daimyos.

At least that's the case in the big ninja village!

Without the funding and support from the daimyos, the great ninja village would not be able to survive.

Because ninjas are a group that consumes a lot of resources, the materials produced by the villagers alone are far from enough to support them.

Perhaps it is because of this that the castle tower was hated even more by the nobles and daimyo.

It's because they not only don't need to withdraw money, but are also self-sufficient in materials. This also makes them free from control. How can people tolerate this?

"Mr. Envoy, I wonder if the Mist and Sand Ninjas can also take action?"

Nara Shikaku suddenly spoke.

Yes, now that the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja have been persuaded, it would be best to get the remaining two major ninja villages involved as well.

Otherwise, as soon as they attacked the castle tower, these two major ninja villages attacked them from behind, which would be a tragedy.

"We are working hard on this and believe we will succeed soon!"

The messenger said perfunctorily.

In fact, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Daimyo of the Land of Water had already been trying to find a way to get the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja to take action.

But there has been little progress.

Because these two major ninja villages simply do not cooperate.

out of control!

It was this situation where the ninjas were gradually getting out of control that made the daimyo and nobles choose to launch this plan.

The ninja world must be under their control, not dominated by lowly ninjas.

After the messenger left, Nara Shikaku spoke directly.

"It looks like we can't rely on the Sand and Mist Ninjas anymore!"

Of course, he could see the messenger's perfunctory expression and guessed some of the truth. "Not necessarily!"

Mizuto Menen shook his head. He actually had great confidence in these nobles.

Because the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja are both the type that are extremely dependent on the daimyo for resources.

Like the Sand Village in the Land of Wind, once the daimyo cuts off the supply of materials, the village will instantly become a dead village. The situation is similar for the Hidden Mist Village.

It’s a pity that Mizuto Kado En didn’t know about the castle tower’s activities, otherwise he would immediately understand that the two major ninja villages were indeed unable to escape the control of their resources, but the controller had changed from the daimyo to the castle tower.

Whether it is the Hidden Mist Village or the Hidden Sand Village, logistical supplies will be provided by the castle tower.

Coupled with the shrine maiden's control over education and internal affairs, it is entirely possible to transform the two major ninja villages into the shape of castle towers, making it impossible for them to escape.

At present, the Hidden Mist Village is under 100% control, but the Hidden Sand Village will still take some time.

After all, Ye Cang had just taken the position, and the priestesses had just entered one after another.

"Do we need to inform Lady Tsunade?"

Nara Shikaku glanced around the office before asking Jiraiya.

"No need, Tsunade has been too tired recently, let her rest more, there is no need to inform her about this matter!"

Jiraiya suddenly spoke up.

If it was before the other party met Tang Ping, he would definitely not say that.

But when he found out that the other party had concealed the reason for meeting Tang Ping, he naturally did not dare to be careless.

If it was just him, he certainly wouldn't doubt Tsunade because of this.

The problem is that this plan has a huge impact and involves the village, so he cannot take the risk.

"…good!"

Shikaku was obviously a little confused, but as a smart man, he naturally couldn't say anything, so he got to the point.

In the subsequent discussions, they reached a consensus.

I can agree to that!

But the prerequisite is that the daimyo must provide sufficient compensation.

To deal with the castle tower, this is Konoha's strategy itself.

It was only because of the attack from the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja that they put their plan on hold.

If there is a chance to do it earlier, it is not impossible to agree to it.

This plan could not only resolve the dangerous situation they were facing, but also solve the serious problem of the castle tower. How could they possibly refuse it?

The only thing to be discussed is what compensation to get and how many people to mobilize at the same time.

There is another benefit to taking action now.

The castle tower suffered heavy losses during the attack on Myobokuyama, and its strength should not have recovered yet.

"By the way, Lord Hokage, this is an opportunity for revenge. I wonder if the Toad Clan of Myoboku Mountain is willing to participate. If they participate, not only will our strength be greatly improved, but we can also take the initiative!"

Shikaku suddenly made a suggestion.

Just let the Myobokusan toad participate.

If the other party joins, not only will the plan have a higher chance of success, but Konoha will also have a greater say in the plan.

After all, the toads of Myoboku Mountain are allies of Konoha and can be regarded as their strength.

Kill two birds with one stone!
If this suggestion succeeds, it will be a sure win.

"I'll consult with them later!"

Jiraiya nodded.

The Toad Clan definitely wants revenge and to take back Mount Myoboku. As long as we agree that after we defeat the castle tower, the holy land of Mount Myoboku will be returned to them, there will be no surprises.

"I will reply to the daimyo's envoy immediately and remind him that the castle tower is now under damage, so the sooner the plan is made, the better!"

Nara Shikaku left the Hokage's office.

After he left, Mitomon Yan sighed:
“I don’t know whether this choice is good or bad for us!”

After all, the castle tower nominally belongs to Konoha, so at least we can rely on its deterrent power. If someone turns against us and attacks it, the consequences will be very bad.

Of course, if successful, the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages.

"As long as the castle tower is gone, this Ninja World War will end immediately, and we can also gain a lot of benefits. It is definitely a good thing for Konoha!"

Jiraiya came to the conclusion with absolute certainty.

As a result, the plan, code-named "Fire Extinguishing," was rapidly advanced.
