Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 154 Konoha has a complete plan to train Jinchūriki

"The Konoha Pact Plan?" Iwata Zeji looked at this special map. On the map, Uchiha Douguang had used a red marker to circle the Land of Waterfall, the Land of Iron, the Land of Frost, the Land of Fields, and the Land of Hot Springs, all with the Land of Fire in the center. Puzzled, he asked, "What is this?"

"Haha, recently I can sense that beneath the tranquility of the Ninja World, undercurrents have begun to surge. As a responsible power in the Ninja World, the Land of Fire will naturally shoulder the responsibility of maintaining peace." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile, "So, Konoha plans to take the lead and establish such an organization. The member states of the organization will help each other in possible future wars."

"This..." Iwata Sawaki was extremely surprised after hearing Uchiha Tokugawa's words. He was worrying about how to propose an alliance with Konoha, but he didn't expect that Uchiha Tokugawa had already thought of it first.

"However, this plan is still just a concept. I think it will be very difficult to implement." Uchiha Douguang shook his head and said, "By the way, I wonder if Mr. Iwata is visiting this time to discuss something important with Konoha?"

"Well, actually, the reason I came here this time is to seek help from Konoha." Iwata Zeki said. Although he really wanted to sign Uchiha Tokou's Konoha Treaty plan, he still had to be reserved when he was away from home, so he spoke patiently.

"Seeking help?" Uchiha Douguang frowned slightly when he heard this. "Has Takigakure encountered any difficulties?"

"To be honest, Takigakure has been under a lot of pressure lately," Iwata Zeji said. "The Land of Earth to the north has been eyeing us covetously lately, and our village's share of missions has been gradually being eroded by Iwagakure in recent years. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep at night."

"Mr. Iwata, you're joking. Your Takigage is the only ninja village besides the Five Great Nations that has tailed beasts. It's far from being a problem."

"Hokage-sama, you are too kind to us Takigakure. Even though our village has a tailed beast, we are still powerless against a behemoth like Iwagakure," said Iwata Zeki.

"So, how does Mr. Iwata want Konoha to help your village?" asked Uchiha Douguang.

"Originally, I came here to form an alliance with Konoha, but the plan that Your Excellency Hokage just mentioned really hit the nail on the head. I wonder if Your Excellency Hokage could talk about it in detail?" said Iwata Zeki.

"Are you talking about this plan?" Uchiha Douguang looked at the map hanging on the wall. "I originally thought that the various ninja villages might be opposed to this plan, but I didn't expect Mr. Iwata to be interested in it. Let's have a good chat."

"The central purpose of this agreement is to ensure that all nations can support each other in the event of future wars and thus cope with possible crises," Uchiha Douguang said. "And in times of peace, when there is no war, we will work together to develop the economies of all nations."

"I see. I didn't expect that His Excellency Hokage is so far-sighted. While forming a military alliance, he also pays attention to economic development." Iwata Zeki said.

"The so-called war, in the end, isn't it a test of a country's logistical capabilities? Only by making thorough preparations can we survive the war." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Hokage-sama, what you said makes sense," Iwata Zeki agreed. "In the end, war comes down to a nation's logistical capabilities. Takigakure suffered repeated defeats in previous Ninja World Wars because of logistical problems within our own country. Ultimately, we had to sacrifice the lives of our previous generation's Jinchūriki to defend our territory. As a result, we are now completely unable to utilize the power of the tailed beasts."

Uchiha Doukou gave Iwata Zeki a meaningful look. As expected, after the death of the first generation of Takigakure, his successors were all idiots. Not to mention the one who forced Angle away, even the one in front of him was good-looking but useless. As the leader of a village, his thoughts were written all over his face. Moreover, in just a few moments, he had exposed the current problems of Takigakure's Jinchuriki. It can be said that Takigakure was able to survive three Ninja World Wars entirely because of the capital of the first generation of Takigakure leaders. Without the Seven-Tails that the first generation of Takigakure had gambled everything on in exchange for from Konoha, the village would probably have been destroyed in the Second Ninja World War based on the actions of several generations of leaders.

"Hasn't your village's Jinchūriki grown up yet?" Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

"This..." Iwata Zeji only realized at this moment that he had accidentally exposed the village's secrets.

"Don't worry, Mr. Iwata. Konoha has always been peace-loving and has no plans for Takigakure." Uchiha Douguang said, "However, if your village needs it, we at Konoha can also provide assistance in this regard. Recently, Konoha has been studying the sealing techniques left by the Uzumaki clan, and we have also gained some new insights into the training of Jinchūriki."

"Konoha now has a complete program for training Jinchūriki, which should be able to help your village." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

"Excuse me for asking, who is the current Jinchūriki of your village..." Iwata Zeki was a little tempted. The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique could be said to be the strongest sealing technique in the entire ninja world, but Iwata Zeki still wanted to confirm it.

"The Jinchuriki of our village is now one of my disciples. Mr. Iwata, would you like to meet him?" Uchiha Douguang asked with a smile.

"No need..." Iwata Zeki realized that his question was a bit presumptuous and said quickly.

"Mr. Iwata, there's no need to be so reserved," Uchiha Douguang said, "Konoha has always been generous to its allies."

"Then, if we want to get Konoha's help, I wonder what we Takigakure need to pay?" Iwata Zeki took a deep breath and then asked.

"Takikage doesn't have to pay anything." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile, "We just need to strengthen the trade cooperation between our two countries."

"Trade cooperation?" Iwata Zeji was a little puzzled.

"That's right. Taki Country is rich in mineral resources, and our Fire Country's metal processing industry has also been booming recently. Our two countries can exchange resources and develop together. This is a good thing for both our countries." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

"This..." Iwata Zeji thought for a moment before speaking, "I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I must consult the Daimyo first."

"No rush, no rush." ​​Uchiha Douguang waved his hand, "Things like this should be considered carefully before making a decision."
