Naruto: Who made him a ninja?.

Chapter 64: The Scapegoat
"So, what means did you use to force him to agree?"

Konoha, within the root base.

Danzo looked at the report in his hand in astonishment, then raised his head in disbelief and looked at Hidezawa in front of him.

For a moment, he even suspected that Xiu Ze had lied to him, because Xiu Ze completed the task so well this time!

But he couldn't say such words, and at the same time, he didn't think that Xiu Ze, such a smart kid, would make a mistake in such a thing.

But all this was too outrageous. It could be said that the answer that Hidezawa brought back to him really crushed the Sand Village and Ebizo!
"Danzo-sama, I followed your instructions exactly."

When Xiu Ze heard this, he immediately felt unhappy. What do you mean I used some means to force him? It was obviously you, Lord Danzo!
The negotiations in the Sand Village have ended, and no matter what Ebizo's intentions were, the matter has been resolved.

Xiu Ze felt a little sorry in his heart and secretly cursed Sunagakure for not having any "gratitude" mentality and not giving him any chance to communicate with the "Hokage with the most beautiful back".

You know, he saved Ye Cang's life, but he just left angrily after the negotiations?
But he had no other choice, so after sending Kabuto Yakushi to the border of the Land of Iron, he turned around and returned to Konoha.

However, facing Danzo's questioning and even blaming him for this matter, he was not happy.

"Lord Danzo, the situation in Sunagakure is actually worse than we imagined, so I took the initiative to modify the bargaining chips. Please forgive me."

Xiu Ze lowered his head and spoke softly, but his main purpose was to "pass the buck".

"I lowered our bargaining chips because I judged that Sand Village was now in a dilemma. The harassment from Kirigakure continued, but they had lost the bargaining chips in the negotiations with Kirigakure.

Ōnoki's offensive did not relax, but because of the involvement of Kirigakure, although the Fourth Kazekage made a loud noise, all movements had stopped.

As expected, they did not dare to send troops, even if Ōnoki completely occupied those small countries.

What's more, Lord Danzo's ally Ebizo is a calm man. He doesn't dare to gamble with the fate of the village. The only one he can rely on now is us, his ally.

The supplies we provide will be very helpful to them.”

"I know all this, but it's not enough."

Danzo nodded. Although he was sometimes overconfident, he couldn't see the direction clearly when it came to his own affairs.

But that doesn't mean he can't see the problems in other things. As the saying goes, "A bystander sees more clearly", he still has some understanding of the problems in Sunagakure.

Xiu Ze didn't react much when he heard it, but he couldn't help but pursed his lips in his heart.

You are too smart at this time, what should you do?

I made an exchange with Yura and Sasori's information!

However, Xiu Ze was not unprepared, as some things might have already fermented.

"It's certainly not enough, but they now have a very serious problem."

Xiu Ze lowered his head and whispered.

"After the negotiations were completed, we specifically inquired and learned that there seemed to be a problem with the dragon vein of the Sand Village."

"Dragon Veins?"

When Danzo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he immediately seemed to understand something.

The Sand Village has always had some ideas about the dragon vein, but has never taken any action due to various internal and external factors.

Now that the dragon vein is in trouble, they must be even more anxious, after all, they are really poor!

"It seems that I need to learn more about the dragon veins."

Danzo's eyes flashed. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the dragon vein. On the contrary, it was a good thing for Konoha!
Neither he nor Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Sunagakure to really obtain the power of the dragon vein.

"I see. You got lucky this time, but you did a really good job."

After thinking these questions through, Danzo nodded and continued speaking.

"But exploiting them too much wouldn't be a good thing for us. Ebizo might even become dissatisfied. But let's just leave it at that. Let's just treat it as a warning to them, so they can focus less on reality.

But can you give more compensation? They are really short of money."

"Anything that needs to be done will require money."

Hidetsu blinked, while Danzo thought for a moment and then waved his hand.

"Then give them more. This is also within my authority. As for the follow-up, we will talk about it after I become Hokage!"

Danzo is full of confidence, but it can be seen that he is not stupid. If he presses too hard, the result may be "extremes will backfire".

Xiu Ze nodded in satisfaction. Not only did he benefit from "thanking nature for its gift", he could also make use of it.

This dragon vein is really good!

“But some additional work needs to be done later.”

After leaving the root base, Xiu Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself.

A big tree appeared in Loulan. Even though no one saw that it was them, many people still saw the tree.

In addition, Hidezawa himself also has to find a suitable excuse and reason to release Wood Release. The combination of these two things makes it difficult for people not to suspect him.

Therefore, he needed someone to take the blame and allow him to use Wood Release smoothly and reasonably.

And as luck would have it, on his 'enemy list', there is a person of varying heights, weights, and abilities, with a reasonable style!

"You are such a good person..."

Thinking of this, Xiu Ze couldn't help but look up at the sky. The bright sunshine seemed a little dazzling, but his mood was particularly happy.

It was the first time he was so eager for that guy to come and cause trouble for him...
-
"What's going on? Why do my ears feel a little hot?"

In the Land of Fire, Obito stood on a big tree and stared into the distance, but he always felt something was strange.

But he was too lazy to think about it now, he had other things to do.

"Obito, are you sure you want to do this?"

Beside him, the pitcher plant monster sighed helplessly.

“Admittedly, Uchiha Shisui may have opened the Mangekyō, but your choice is still too risky.

We don't know what this guy is thinking. If we approach him now, it might cause an unexpected situation!"

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

Obito glanced at him and didn't say much. His action this time was to meet Uchiha Shisui!

He was badly tricked by Hidetsawa and Konoha, especially the Akatsuki organization actually planned to attack him, which made his anger soar to the sky.

If he doesn't retaliate for this kind of thing, then he really can't justify it.

During this period of time, he also asked Bai Zetsu to do a lot of investigations, and he has learned a lot of interesting things.

Therefore, his attention was set on Shisui. Although this boy believed in getting closer to Konoha, he hoped to reunite his family and Konoha and make them inseparable.

But what Konoha did might not satisfy him.

"You and I both know about Danzo, so don't talk about these meaningless things anymore."

Obito looked up at the sky and said meaningfully.

"For an Uchiha, the purer a person is, the more they will fall once their faith collapses."
