Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 209 Let’s grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory!

Tsunade took a deep breath.

Shukaku!

Even she couldn't help but feel moved.

but.

After a brief heartbeat, Jingyan kicked the leg of the stool, and Tsunade calmed down and regained her sanity.

Tailed beast...

It is indeed very tempting. For Konoha, it would be great if it could add another tailed beast. But first of all, the tailed beasts are not omnipotent. Having only one Nine-Tailed Fox is enough to give Konoha a headache.

She put her hands on the table.

"Shukaku? What can we do with Shukaku? One tailed beast is powerful, but we need to devote our energy to sealing it, which is also a burden for us in Konoha."

"not to mention."

"This is just for us to look after, not a trade. Who will seal it? Will you contribute manpower?"

Tsunade talked about very realistic issues.

Jinchuuriki!
If Konoha seals Shukaku, doesn't that mean they can take it for themselves?

Without the human Chuuriki, how can Konoha seal Shukaku?
Doesn't that really mean helping to look after the baby?

In the end, the Sand Village had a candidate for the Jinchuriki and wanted Shukaku back. Konoha became the scapegoat. If it didn't return Shukaku, Konoha would be at a disadvantage morally.

By the time……

Each of the small ninja villages surrounding Konoha will have a crisis of trust.

With Shukaku captured, Konoha was in a dilemma.

Luo Sha felt helpless.

Konoha's self-control is really extraordinary!
If it were any other ninja village, they would probably be unable to walk after hearing the word "tailed beast", but Konoha was not moved at all and even felt that they were at a disadvantage.

of course.

This is based on the premise that Konoha really has no intention of taking their tailed beasts. If Konoha wanted to seize the tailed beasts, it would definitely agree without hesitation.

or--

If it were Sarutobi Hiruzen or Danzo, they might have agreed to it as well.

Luo Sha said secretly in his heart, "What a pity."

He was willing to hand over the tailed beast because, on the one hand, he believed that the current Sand Village had no ability to compete with Konoha, and on the other hand, needed Konoha's support and help in many areas.

On the other hand, if Konoha becomes powerful, it will definitely suffer from hostility from others. At that time, whether the Sand Village helps Konoha or other ninja villages, it will definitely be able to get a certain price.

Regrettably.

Konoha was not fooled at all, and even turned the tables and threw the problem back to him.

If Rosa knew very well that if he did not increase the stakes, it would mean that he had no sincerity and was only using the tailed beasts as a gimmick or a trap, it would be even more detrimental to subsequent cooperation.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the confusion in his heart.

Konoha...

Not to be underestimated!

Luo Sha said in a calm tone: "I can send him and his Jinchuriki to Konoha."

Having said this, he was silent for a while.

"The candidate for Jinchūriki will be my daughter who was born not long ago. I have absolutely no reason to joke with her, but I hope to give my daughter a few more years."

When Luo Sha said this, there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently: "Of course."

"How many more years is a few more years?"

Jingyan spoke up.

Luo Sha said: "Five years. When my daughter is five years old, I will send her to Konoha."

"Tell me about your cooperation project first."

Tsunade raised her hand to stop the two from continuing the discussion, "If cooperation itself cannot be achieved, there is no need to discuss it further."

"Indeed, the cooperation project is actually very simple. First, I hope you can help us capture or kill the Red Sand Scorpion."

Luo Sha replied.

"Second, I hope to reopen the old trade route between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation."

"Third, we hope to work with Konoha to jointly develop more areas that can earn commissions, and no longer be limited to the current fighting and killing."

Luo Sha said "sincerely".

Jing Yan smiled and said, "For example, minerals?"

Luo Sha's pupils shrank.

really!

With the other party's intelligence, how could they not think of the benefits of minerals?

Your choice is right!
Since the Sand Village has no ability to go against Konoha, it would be better for them to completely side with Konoha. Who knows, they might even get some benefits by following them.

He hesitated for two seconds before sighing: "As expected of you, Jingyan-kun. In you, I can feel how powerful the first and second Hokage were when they joined forces!"

The Qianshou brothers are one civil and one martial, and...

Back then, Hashirama Senju was easier to get along with, and as a result, he received a lot of benefits from the other ninja villages, and Tobirama Senju could do nothing about it.

In comparison, Ryomine Kyohiko combines the two into one, making him more troublesome than the two of them combined.

"Master Fengying, thank you for your praise. Everyone wants to do something that makes money."

Jingyan laughed.

Why does Konoha today have the confidence to accommodate so many new families?
It was because they earned a lot of compensation from the last Ninja World War, and their losses were not that great. As a result, they accumulated a lot of wealth.

There is not much point in hoarding this money.

Spend it to make Konoha stronger, and then find ways to increase revenue and earn more money. This is the right way to go right now.

As for ways to make money.

One is a commission for development and construction, and the other is a commission to set up permanent hired ninjas, just like the Hidden Mist Village.

Neither of them was on the agenda, but the reason was not that Kyouhiko and Tsunade did not want to make the money, nor that no one asked them to do such a commission, but that Konoha currently did not have the ability to expand.

There are too few people!

Even though Konoha suffered little loss in the Third War, the previous years of war still caused a large number of elite casualties, and the threat from the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Mist Village is still there...

Konoha's expansion will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions.

"We in Konoha are definitely interested in the mining industry, and we are also sure that we can make a lot of money in this industry."

Tsunade paused, "Actually, we have a better option."

"Better choice?"

Luo Sha was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what was going on.

Apart from Konoha and the Sand Village, who else has mastered the Magnetic Release Technique right now?

"Are you going to cooperate with Yunying Village?"

But he could think of the only village that could possibly master magnetic escape.

Luo Sha couldn't help but laugh.

"Hokage-sama, this joke is not funny. Although you and the Hidden Cloud Village seem to be getting along in harmony, there will be a war between you sooner or later, and the Hidden Cloud Village will not surrender obediently."

"Compared to that, our Sand Village poses much less of a threat!"

Although he didn't want to say it, Luo Sha had to admit that the current Sand Village was not on the same level as the Cloud Village and could not pose a threat to Konoha.

Although Tsunade did not agree, she was already moved in her heart.

The mining business cannot be accomplished by Konoha alone. Only by cooperating with the Sand Village can the business be truly expanded.

She thought for a moment and said, "How can we cooperate?"

"Except for our own commissions, we can give you 20% of the profits for the commissions provided by Konoha."

Luo Sha answered.

He calculated that under such circumstances, the Sand Village would definitely make a lot of money, and the huge profits would also restore the Wind Kingdom's confidence in the Sand Village.

Only when the Sand Village has enough money can it further expand and become stronger and bring the village back to its former glory.

Jingyan interjected.

"It's too little. If it's only 20%, we in Konoha can do it ourselves. Our Konoha Village can also provide free environmental transformation services, making the places where minerals are mined become livable places."

"How much do you think it will cost?"

Luo Sha was depressed, but he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. Konoha also has magnetic escape!

Although he guessed that Konoha's magnetic escape might not be perfect and could not be controlled as freely as theirs, the other party still had wood escape and powerful earth escape...

This is the most deadly.

"It's a 50-50 split, but we won't get involved in the mining business. We can provide personnel to help you with mining and provide protection. In addition, for orders to restore the environment and transform the mining area, you can get 30% of the profits."

"Only 30%?"

Luo Sha raised his eyebrows.

Tsunade snorted coldly: "If you know Wood Release, you can also get 50%!"

"..."

Luo Sha fell silent.

Wood Release, how could the Sand Village be possible?
Fifty-fifty.

He thought about it and said, "Okay, I agree."

"The matter of Scorpion of the Red Sand can be regarded as our Konoha's sincerity. We can provide help for free."

Jingyan said.

"We have already negotiated with the other party about the trade route from the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of River. What is your attitude?"

"We in Konoha will not reject peaceful trade."

Tsunade smiled.

Luo Sha nodded gently and exhaled slowly. He was about to stand up when he heard Jing Yan say, "Wait, Fengying, don't you want to transform the desert and create more oases?"

Luo Sha stood up and immediately paused.

Why don't you want to!

Seeing the forest that appeared out of nowhere before, he dreamed of having more oases and trees so that the Sand Village could truly become prosperous.

but.

Can't do it!
Luo Sha smiled bitterly: "Even if Konoha is willing to help, we don't have such wealth."

"It's okay. You can pay me back later. We are a cooperative company anyway. Of course, we have to wait until your Jinchūriki and the benefits are settled before we can proceed."

Jingyan laughed.

Luo Sha was stunned.

loan?

He licked his lips and then shook his head: "I can't make the decision on this matter."

"That's fine. If you are interested, you can contact us. We will definitely provide a perfect solution."

Jingyan said and took a step back.

Luo Sha nodded gently: "I will."

If we really create an oasis...

He would definitely choose the middle of the trade route and maximize the role of the trade route as much as possible. If the road and supplies along the way are good, there will be more foreign residents and merchants.

but.

This would definitely require asking the Daimyo of the Wind Country for permission.

He pulled out the scroll.

This is the covenant scroll he prepared in advance.

"Since you have agreed to in-depth cooperation, then our alliance can be modified. If our Sand Village goes back on its word, Konoha can use this as an excuse to punish us."

Rasa added the few clauses that had just been agreed upon in the blank space, and Tsunade also added the few clauses that had been agreed upon on top of Konoha's previous alliance.

Both parties signed their names again.

"Pleasant to work with."

After the two shook hands.

Luo Sha asked: "Can the Scorpion of Red Sand be resolved as soon as possible?"

In the past, he still had a little fantasy about Scorpion, thinking that the other party might change his mind or do something beneficial to the Sand Village and the Wind Kingdom.

turn out.

Every move of the Red Sand Scorpion has once again cast doubt on the Sand Village's limited reputation, and many people even believe that the Sand Village deliberately raises the scorpion.

At this point, he can no longer have any more fantasies.

"As long as you gather enough intelligence and notify us, we will be ready at any time."

……

"Lord Fengying, isn't this too much of a concession?"

"No, I've thought about it seriously. Once this industry is established, there will definitely be many people who want to get involved. If the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village join forces, we will have fewer commissions at that time, and our people may also be attacked."

Luo Sha couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he said this. "Every time Liangfeng Jingyan speaks, he hits the nail on the head. I have no choice but to agree with him wholeheartedly. He is really amazing!"

"The oasis?"

One of the guards hesitated, "In the entire ninja world, probably only Konoha can do this. They will definitely charge a lot of money. Then won't all our profits go to Konoha?"

"So, I need to discuss this with the Lord Daimyo. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Luo Sha smiled and then walked towards the Kingdom of Wind.

however.

When he returned to the forest, he saw a tree nailed with a kunai.

Luo Sha immediately went to it.

On the nailed bark, there was a line of words engraved: "Uchiha Madara is suspected to still be alive and has taken control of the Hidden Mist Village."

what?
Luo Sha was shocked.

Uchiha Madara is still alive?

How can it be!

Didn’t he die in the Valley of the End?
and.

Even if Uchiha Madara didn't die, and even Senju Hashirama was dead, why was he still alive?
Luo Sha's first reaction was...

Fake news, intimidation!
but.

Looking around, the strange scene of the Hidden Mist Village appeared in his mind.

The Blood Mist Village, and some time ago, they collected some funny information about the Hidden Mist Village attacking Konoha, and for a moment they thought -

If the Hidden Mist Village is indeed controlled, then everything is explained!

For a being like Madara, how could he care about a mere ninja village?
That's not Konoha.

Luo Sha licked his lips and felt his mouth dry.

If this is true, the current Sand Village would be another very suitable target for Uchiha Madara.

Furthermore, this text...

He felt vaguely familiar.

Luosha shattered the bark.

"Master Kazekage, what's wrong?"

"Don't pay attention to the provocation of the Red Sand Scorpion. I will send a shadow clone to take a look, and our main force will just bypass it."

"Yes!"

Luo Sha created a shadow clone, and the real body led his men around the woods and walked towards the Kingdom of Wind, but he was thinking about the scene just now.

If Madara is really alive...

Then, cooperating with Konoha is the best option for the Sand Village.

after all.

There is Ryomine Kyouhiko in Konoha.

A genius whose talent and ability are comparable to those of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

With Konoha, there will be someone tall to support it even if the sky falls. Otherwise, once he is controlled by Madara and causes some disaster, the Sand Village will be really finished!

Although a lot has been given up in this cooperation, at least the Sand Village can maintain its current status and even have the hope of becoming stronger in the future!
This is enough.

To their north, Ye Cang was running all the way to the north of the Wind Kingdom.

She has done her best.

What decisions the Sand Village makes in the future has nothing to do with her.
