From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 144 Uranium Sand Scorpion (1w)

"Yunyin, is he defeated too?"

On the hospital bed, the Sandaime Kazekage listened to the information coming from the Anbu beside him and uttered a hoarse voice with difficulty, causing the breathing tube inserted in his nasal cavity to tremble slightly.

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Scorpion, who was sitting next to him, whispered in his ear: "Sawara Kiri is too strong, even the Raikage is no match for him. The Two-Tails Jinchuriki personally went to Konoha to submit the surrender letter."

"."

The Third Kazekage lay on the hospital bed, silent for a while, then slowly spoke:

"You two are really brave."

"I'm not as good as him."

Scorpion was stunned when he heard this. He was only eleven years old this year and was not yet old enough to understand the human relationships and social principles here. He just thought that the two generals were cowardly.

Obviously, Kumogakure still had so many manpower and resources, but they surrendered to Konoha for no reason. They were completely unlike the Sand Village who had the courage to fight for life, not to mention the Kazekage who was present on the battlefield in person.

However, since Master Kazekage said so, he could not refute it, and just whispered: "Master Sandai, you don't have to say such discouraging words. When your body gets better, we in Sunagakure will have a chance to start over."

Listening to the mumbling of the little boy beside him, the Third Kazekage turned to look at him. His once heroic face had aged a lot due to illness, and even his originally smooth skin was now covered with wrinkles, making his smile seem somewhat kind.

He stretched out his hand with some difficulty.

The scorpion poked its head forward slightly.

Then, the Third Kazekage placed his hand on his smooth red hair.

"Scorpion, you are a sensible child."

"The future of Sand Village will depend on young people like you."

"How's the magnetic escape technique I taught you a few days ago going?"

Scorpion said solemnly with a stern face, "I can already feel the magnetic force, but the frequency is a little wrong when I apply it, so I can only summon some glowing small stones."

"That's not bad."

The Third Kazekage smiled gently.

It is always comforting to have successors.

As for those troubles, he is not old enough to know them.

As they were talking, Jialuo, who was temporarily taking over the position of Kazekage, walked in from outside.

This slender blond woman carried a tall puppet on her back, but her steps were very light, and it was obvious that she had adapted to the weight.

The Third Kazekage patted Scorpion's back and said, "You go out first. Jialuo and I have something to discuss."

"Yes."

Scorpion nodded obediently.

Ever since his parents and second uncle passed away, he has become much more sensible, which makes Chiyo and the Third Kazekage feel relieved.

After the door was closed, the Third Kazekage's expression became more serious, and he turned to look at Garuru:
"how's it going?"

Garuro sighed slightly: "The daimyo has been held hostage by the opinions of the noble council. The responsibility for the defeat should fall on us. At the same time, all kinds of expenses will be reduced a lot from now on, I'm afraid."

"It doesn't matter."

The Sandaime Kazekage said calmly, "The responsibility for the defeat lies solely with me. I am about to die, and my reputation after death is not a big deal."

"What's the situation with business expenses?"

"After the previous war negotiations ended, the people of Konoha had planned to continue the business cooperation in accordance with the war negotiations, which had been going on for more than a month." Garuru continued, "When Konoha was still in a stalemate with Kumogakure, their various negotiation contents were reasonable, but they were reluctant to sign."

At this point, Jialuo lowered his eyes and said, "Now, the requirements have been raised a level."

"Yes."

The Third Kazekage said calmly, "If they don't sign now, they will only become more and more greedy when Konoha becomes more powerful after the war. Sawara Kirino can still live for many years."

"Yes."

"Cough cough cough cough."

Just after he finished these brief words, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but began to cough and vomit blood, and his handkerchief was stained with a rich scarlet color.

Jialuo lowered his head with a sad expression, not daring to look.

The Third Kazekage, on the other hand, seemed to have let it go and threw the handkerchief aside, not caring at all about the bloodstains on it.

Since returning to the village after the last defeat, the entire Sand Village has gone through the tasks of rebuilding the village, distancing itself from trade routes and transportation nodes, etc.

He was already ill due to qi stagnation, and his physical condition became worse and worse. Now he can't even get out of bed and has become a complete disabled person.

At the same time, there were also many voices in the Sand Village pointing the finger at him. Everyone used the "strongest Kazekage" as a scapegoat, trying to save the last bit of face for the Sand Village, which had already begun to go downhill.

The Daimyo of the Wind Country, who had previously fully supported him, was completely sidelined by the Council of Nobles and became a puppet. Now his son is basically in charge of handling important matters. It is hard to say what his attitude towards the Sand Village is.

Under the accumulation of heavy pressure, it was inevitable that the Third Kazekage would end up like this.

"I'm sorry, Garuru."

The Sandaime Kazekage's hoarse voice was filled with helplessness: "I left you with such a mess."

"teacher"

Jialuo's face was tense and his eyes were a little red.

The Third Kazekage didn't care about his own life, but he felt a little guilty.

Decades of hard work, all lost in one day.

He is indeed the sinner of the Sand Village.

"Well, let's go see the scorpion."

He lay on the bed, seemed a little tired, and closed his eyes again: "I am now like this. Scorpion is a talented child. I can only rely on you to teach him."

"Yes."

Jialuo was silent for a while before he responded and walked out of the ward.

"Ugh."

When there was no one around, a long, faint sigh was heard in the ward.

Konoha, why are you always so blessed by God?
After Garuru left the room, probably because he was feeling bored, he did not return to the Kazekage's office immediately. Instead, he went to the training ground where Scorpion usually practiced magnetic ninjutsu.

From a distance, she saw a solitary young figure standing alone in the sand, trying hard to control the tiny stones that were constantly rising from the depths of the desert.

Magnetic Release itself is not a bloodline, but a type of secret technique that incorporates the two attributes of earth and thunder, and is not much different from Ōnoki's Dust Release.

However, practicing is extremely difficult.

For a scorpion like this to be able to attract small stones after only one or two months of practice is already a remarkable achievement.

However, when he saw the glowing gravel attracted by the scorpion's palm, Jialuo's eyes lit up, but he frowned slightly, and his emotions were slightly conflicted.

"scorpion."

"Didn't I teach you to try to attract the simplest sand first?"

Jialuo's voice was a little cold.

Hearing this, Xie suddenly turned his head and saw that it was Jialuo Luo. His expression suddenly became a little stiff, and he stuttered, "Senior Sister Jialuo Luo, I just think it's easier to use this kind of thing, so..."

Jialuo didn't say much. He reached out and picked up the glowing stone floating in the air. He turned around and asked, "Have you asked the Mineral Scholars Association? What kind of stone is this?"

Scorpion stopped, scratched his head, and whispered, "The Mineral Scholars Association said that this is a kind of stone called uranium. I don't know what it is used for, but it seems to have some radioactivity."

"You know there is radiation, but you're still using it?"

"Start with the basics first."

Jialuo had a stern face, with a serious attitude like an elder sister who is like a mother.

"Yes~"

Scorpion seemed a little helpless, and pursed his lips and muttered softly: "I think this kind of thing might be useful against the enemy."

"That's going to have to wait until you become proficient in it."

"I see."

Seeing that this kid was so troublesome, Jialuo sighed inwardly and threw the stone aside.

Recently, the teacher's health has been getting worse, and all the affairs have to be handled by her alone, which is very stressful.

But, there is no choice.

After the war negotiations were completed, the Wind Country almost became a vassal of the Fire Country, and was completely controlled from the economic and military aspects. If this continues for another ten years, the entire Sand Village may not even be able to hold 10,000 ninjas, right?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Jialuo became.

We must unite with other countries.

Sunagakure, we must not sink like this.

Jialuo made up his mind.

This is not just her wish, it must also be Luo Sha's wish, right?

As she thought to herself, she gently stroked the bandaged puppet behind her and slowly let out a relieved smile.

"It's amazing."

In the Tsuchikage's office, Ōnoki was looking at the intelligence coming from the front line. He was muttering these words, but his brows were getting more and more furrowed.

In just one year, this kid who appeared out of nowhere in Konoha has forcibly subdued the two villages of Sand Village and Kumo Village. Only they, Iwagakure, were lucky. The last war was fought with Konoha in the Land of Rain, and there was no real fight. The armistice negotiations had ended long before that.

If not for this, even he might not be able to withstand a punch from that boy.

However, the current situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly unfavorable to Iwagakure.

The period when the five major countries were in balance was the most suitable time for their development. Whether they fought or made peace, it would not have much impact in the end. Each family was trying to expand and constantly breaking the situation originally set by the first Hokage and that man.

However, now, the situation is gradually returning to the period when the first Hokage was in charge.

As the leader of the Iwagakure Village, how could Ōnoki accept this?

"Dad."

Huang Tu, who was standing next to him, had grown up, but his mind was not fully developed. Seeing his old man's sad look, he didn't understand the problem at all:
"Isn't the war about to end? Then we can just make some money."

"You bastard!"

Ōnoki was stunned when he heard that. He flew up in anger and hit him hard on the head: "Are you really my offspring? You can't learn Dust Release or Explosion Release, and you can't learn Explosion Release either. You just use your limited strength to show off every day!"

"Look at Konoha's Sahara Kiri, and then look at you!"

"The end of the war is a good thing. Then you can see if you can surpass Konoha or Kumogakure with your business."

"We are a landlocked country! We are a big importer. Did you know that? Stupid!"

Ohnoki cursed angrily and flew back to his seat.

Huang Tu, who was beaten for no reason, scratched his head, but didn't take the little pain to heart and just smiled innocently.

"Also, how is the matter with Takigakure Village that I asked you to send someone to investigate going?"

"Such a big incident could happen right next to our home, and we don't even know the slightest bit of information. Are you still laughing?"

Ohnoki suddenly became even angrier.

Huang Tu seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "The people we sent in the previous rounds are basically all dead."

"However, someone still used the spirit beast to pass on some news."

As he spoke, his voice paused and his expression became serious: "The new leader who claims to be the Moon Organization can use Susanoo."

"And completely controlled Nanao."

"what?!"

Oonoki's eyes suddenly widened.

As a member who had witnessed Uchiha Madara's strength in the past, Iwagakure has always been deeply wary of the Uchiha name.

For this purpose, his teacher Mu even personally created the "Dust Release", a bloodline elimination technique that is considered to have excessive attack power in the eyes of the entire ninja world.

Back then, his teacher's greatest last wish was to see with his own eyes that this technique could break through the invincible Susanoo.

However, this wish was never fulfilled until his death.

But also for this reason, the Tsuchikage faction has always been extremely wary of Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan pupil technique, and various records are quite detailed.

At this moment, when Oonoki heard that the person using Susanoo was an Uchiha, he almost immediately thought of her relationship with Konoha.

Taki Country is a small country sandwiched between the Earth Country and the Fire Country.

He has always remained close to Konoha since the village was established.

If this country is also controlled by Konoha.
When Ohnoki thought about the fact that there was a Konoha bridgehead right at his doorstep, he felt a chill in his heart.

Has Konoha actually been planning a war with Iwagakure since that time?
How should Iwagakure resist?
What's more, Konoha's habit of hiding its trump cards has been deeply rooted in people's minds because of Sawara Kiri, so he almost instinctively thinks that this Mangekyō Uchiha is also Konoha's trump card.

Complex thoughts quickly flooded into one's mind, making one's heart a mess.

"No."

“We must unite.”

Ohnoki's tone was full of determination: "The current Konoha is no longer a monster that one country or one village can resist."

"We must unite all the forces we can."

Compared with the previous two, one can imagine the treatment received by the two general managers who sacrificed themselves for the village.

Almost immediately after returning to the village, the acting Raikage was warmly welcomed by the people of Kumogakure. All kinds of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves were flying everywhere, hitting him all the way.

The results of the negotiations at Yunyin had already been returned to the village ahead of him.

The current Two-Tails Jinchuriki has also become a recognized traitor in the entire Land of Lightning.

However, as early as when he made that choice, he had actually realized that this day would come, and he returned to the Raikage Building calmly despite the scolding.

After entering the office, before I could even clean up the dirt on my body, the two general managers had already spoken to Ai beside them:

"How are the contacts with other countries going?"

"This"

Ai looked at the two Souji who were covered with all kinds of things, and his expression was a little gloomy. If he had followed them into Konoha Village at that time, he would probably have ended up like this, right?

However, you two are clearly the ones who are wholeheartedly serving the country.

He thought so in his heart, and nodded excitedly: "Oonoki and Garuru have already agreed to our conditions. Only Kirigakure probably thought they could stay in a safe corner and never replied."

"It's ok."

The two general managers looked calm: "This kind of thing cannot be forced. It may be a good thing that they are unwilling to send someone here."

"but."

Ai's words came to his lips. He tried to open his mouth, but failed to raise the tone. His tone gradually fell: "Do we really need to share so much research materials with them?"

The two sousaur stopped and looked at the young man beside them, and suddenly said: "Ai, do you think there is anything in Kumogakure that can compete with Konoha now?"

Ai was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what the two generals meant.

Seeing him like this, the two sighed softly: "This time when I went to Konoha, I saw a lot of things that were beyond my imagination."

"do you know?"

"They are still at war with us, but they have opened up a new city full of ordinary people and civilian ninjas working everywhere. They are also planning to build a new school on top of the original ninja school to train Chunin and Jonin, as well as set up businesses and expand ninja enrollment."

"They are growing stronger by taking the benefits from our village. The most important thing is that the current Sannin are not as scheming and indecisive as Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"If we continue to stand still, our village will only be pulled further and further away by them."

"Until the day when one country defeats four."

The two generals patted Ai's shoulders and said earnestly: "At that time, Konoha had Sawara Kiri and the Nine-Tails above, and countless middle and upper ninjas below. What do you think will happen in this ninja world?"

"."

Ai suddenly fell silent.

Only then did he understand how far the two general managers were thinking.

How long will it take for these things to happen?
ten years? Twenty years?

Ai felt that he couldn't explain it well.

The two general directors then calmly said, "Therefore, we must show the utmost sincerity and cooperate with other countries."

"If not, we will have no choice but to be swallowed up by Konoha."

　Second update.

　　Because there will be an APP recommendation tomorrow, I will update 2 words tomorrow.
