Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

Danzo Shimura was relentless in his determination.

I'm going to be Hokage!

"Sai, do you have any suggestions?"

"You've been in Sunagakure for so long, I'm sure you know it quite well."

Sai remained expressionless.

They express their thoughts like robots.

"Sir, the blood of sandworms also has a cost."

"They also need to provide food for the sandworms."

“We can build ironworks and ninja tool factories just like them, and our raw material costs may be higher than theirs.”

"However, their location in the desert makes transportation more complicated and expensive than ours."

"It's not that we can't compete."

That's right!

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo excitedly blurted out his native dialect.

Yes.

Konoha is not without its advantages.

In the Hidden Leaf Village.

It is convenient by both land and sea.

It has abundant resources and manpower.

If they really got going, they could definitely compete with the Sand Village.

Sai: "Industrial development can also strengthen the village's power."

Sai, like Kakashi, introduced himself as having recorded information about Sunagakure.

Danzo Shimura nodded repeatedly.

I now have blueprints and plans.

That leaves only one option.

Persuade Tsunade.

Let her initiate the industrialization of Konoha.

Competing with the Sand Ninja.

to this end.

Danzo Shimura also found Homura Mitokado, who had also been ousted from the power structure, and Koharu Utatane.

"You two are also elders of Konoha."

"Now, the Sand Village is constantly earning our money through ninja tools and various products, and then using that money to strengthen itself."

"Can you just watch the village decline step by step like this?"

"Look at this, now even Konoha Village has to work and do missions for Sunagakure."

"This is an absolute disgrace!"

The cooperation between Tsunade and Mufeng also became his reason.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were disciples of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

They too experienced the glory of Konoha Village.

Of course, they also couldn't stand Konoha working for Higasa ninja.

They then went with Danzo Shimura to speak with Tsunade.

Tsunade saw the factory blueprints and other documents that Danzo Shimura had taken out.

She was shocked.

"You went to the Sand Village to steal other people's information?"

Danzo Shimura scoffed.

"Hmph, don't we ninjas use any means necessary to achieve victory?"

"If the Sand Village comes to question us..."

"If you're afraid, Hokage, you can use me as a scapegoat."

"I, Shimura, am willing to sacrifice myself for Konoha."

Shimura Danzo spoke with great righteousness.

He knew that Tsunade would never use him as a scapegoat.

I am, after all, a veteran.

A great hero of Konoha.

Tsunade could only manage a wry smile.

"Ok."

"Hopefully, Mu Feng won't react too strongly."

Mu Feng didn't react much.

He just sent a notice.

"It has been discovered that Shigaraki Tanuki, a villager from your village, conspired with another man named Sai to steal information from our village. After interrogation, it was determined that this was an individual act, therefore I have decided to sentence Shigaraki Tanuki to life imprisonment. Please cooperate with your village in the pursuit of Sai. This is to inform you."

Danzo Shimura felt no reluctance at the fact that Shigaraki Tanuki was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Just a tool.

What's wrong with making sacrifices for the great revival of Konoha?

As for Sai, he doesn't exist at all.

However, it was Shigaraki Tanuki's wife, Shigaraki Fanlu, who, upon learning of this, took her daughter, Shigaraki Sumire, to Sunagakure to find her husband.

From then on, Sunagakure School gained another student, Sumire Shigaraki.

Although Shimura Danzo and the other two were far from the center of power in Konoha.

However, they still have influence in the village.

Danzo Shimura's advocacy of the Sand Village's ninja faction forced Tsunade to take it seriously.

So they waited for Kakashi, Yamato, and the others to return to the village.

Tsunade immediately convened a high-level meeting.

Discuss and negotiate solutions.

Tsunade's chest hurts again.

Damn Mu Feng.

It's caused me so much trouble again.

What's the point of industrial production?

So complicated.

For her, who enjoys gambling...

Developing any kind of industry is just a pain in the ass.

She looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, in your opinion, what will happen when the Sand Village grows stronger?"

Chapter 182 The Adorable Big-Eyed Scorpion

Kakashi recalled what Mu Feng had told them before he left.

"Personally, I think that Lord Kazekage yearns for peace."

Danzo Shimura was dissatisfied.

"That's weakness."

"Have you been bewitched?"

Naruto was annoyed.

"Kakashi-sensei is right."

"I don't think Uncle Mu Feng is a bad person."

Danzo Shimura was furious.

"It seems you've all been corrupted by the Sand Village."

"You're so young and you're already talking back to me."

"Okay."

Tsunade loudly stopped Shimura Danzo.

"I'm just letting them express their judgment; I'll make my own decision on how to proceed."

Danzo Shimura pressed on relentlessly.

"Then, Lord Hokage, please make your judgment."

"Our enemy is growing stronger step by step."

Are we just going to stay where we are?

Tsunade remembered what Mu Feng had said.

"Stay close to me, Tsunade."
