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

Among the elders and officials present, many run their own shops or are distributors of Sunagakure goods.

What is Danzo Shimura talking about here regarding the Sand Village ninja?

They all found it funny.

Shimura Danzo saw that no one responded to him.

He was furious.

You despicable bunch.

Can't they see the threat posed by the Sand Village ninja?

That's what Hosokawa, the old master, said.

Yuan Yiman laughed and said, "Shimura Danzo, your thinking is too radical. Sand ninjas are just selling goods. It's not a big deal."

Danzo Shimura can only be viewed from a different perspective.

"Sir, civilian products are civilian products, but their ninja tools are also very powerful."

"Now the ninjas in our village are all using ninja tools from their village."

Yuan Yiman: "So what?"

Danzo Shimura: "First, the Sand Village's ninja tools are superior to our Konoha's, so our ninja equipment is inferior to theirs. Second, once the two sides go to war, the Sand Village can completely cut off the supply of ninja tools, and then our Konoha ninjas may not have kunai or shuriken to use."

"I don't think the adults want Konoha's strength to decline either."

One of the officials standing by snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Danzo Shimura, you're exaggerating too much,"

"Is Konoha that important?"

Danzo Shimura turned to look at the man.

He asked coldly.

"Who are you?"

The man gave a disdainful smile.

"I am the daimyo ninjutsu master Kazuma."

Kazuma, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, insisted that the Hokage was unnecessary and believed that the real power of ninjas should be held by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. As a result, the Twelve Guardian Ninja split, and his faction was defeated, but he was still determined to destroy Konoha.

Danzo Shimura retorted.

"Hmph, without the Konoha ninjas fighting in the north and south, would the Land of Fire have the peace it enjoys today?"

Kazuma did not reply but instead said to En no Yoshimitsu, "My lord, you see that Konoha Village is arrogant and has rebellious intentions."

Yuan Yiman knew what Ma was thinking.

However, he cannot destroy Konoha.

He now feels that it's good to keep Konoha.

"Haha, I've already talked to Ma Yan."

"Shimura Danzo, just tell me what you're thinking."

Danzo Shimura: "Our Konoha is now building an ironworks and a ninja tool factory to compete with the Sand Village. We need the Daimyo's support."

Yuan Yi was filled with doubt.

"How can I support you?"

"Money?"

Danzo Shimura: "We don't want money, we need adults to transfer the Tamagane Mine to us."

Tamagane Mine?!

The mine owners present immediately objected.

"This is outrageous!"

"The Tamagane Mine is related to the Daimyo's wealth; how could Konoha possibly covet it?"

Chapter 198 My Shimura Danzo's Unwavering Loyalty!

The majors are different.

Their focus is also different.

Danzo Shimura only saw that Tamagane was produced in the Tamagane Mine.

Actually, the mines there also produce silver.

It's just that its production volume isn't that large and it's not as famous as Yugang.

But that was also an important source of wealth for the daimyo.

Danzo Shimura was puzzled.

They want the entire mine right away.

The mine owner did not jump up and hit him.

That was only because he was disabled.

Shimura Danzo only learned this after hearing the mining magistrate's explanation.

There's more to this story.

Danzo Shimura's eyes darted around.

"Then we can separate."

"Give the steel to Konoha, and the silver to the daimyo."

Danzo Shimura had been the leader of Konoha Root for a long time.

They spend their days plotting petty theft and thievery in the village.

That's just how things are.

That's an extremely naive statement.

What does it mean to give steel to Konoha and silver to the Daimyo?

Even if it were given to Konoha, it would still be considered a gift.

You can only take it if it's given to you.

I'm not giving it to you, don't even think about it.

This is the mindset of those in positions of power.

Even the good-natured Yuan Yiman was very unhappy when he heard this.

Baka!

Are you, Danzo Shimura, giving me orders?

"Okay, I'm tired."

Yuan Yiman stood up.

The paper door beside him opened.

Danzo Shimura was getting anxious.

"My lord, please support Konoha."

"Let's talk about it later."

Yuan Yi turned and left without looking back.

The others also kowtowed and then got up and left.

Only Shimura Danzo was left sitting there dumbfounded.

That night.

En no Yoshimitsu then summoned his retainers Hosokawa and his teacher, Kazuma.

Yuan Yiman: "Gentlemen, what do you think is going on with Konoha this time? Is Sunagakure really a threat to our country as he claims?"

Hosokawa: "According to intelligence, the Sand Village has indeed been building factories and developing industry. Their strength is indeed greater than before."

"Konoha has recently built ironworks and the like, so Shimura Danzo's visit to ask for mines this time may really be to compete with the Sand Village."

Yuan Yi nodded.

"Then why don't we just give Tamagane to them?"

He Ma immediately objected.

"We absolutely cannot give it to them."

“We can’t even sell to them.”

Yuan Yiman was now puzzled.

"Kazuma, why do you say that?"

Kazuma: "My lord, can't you see the example of the Land of Wind?"

He Ma began to recount Mu Feng's great achievements.

"Since the Kazekage took office, Sunagakure has changed its village policies."

"They no longer live off missions, nor do they accept military funding from the Daimyo; they rely on their own industries for survival."

"Is it the end?"

"He overthrew the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and now the Land of Wind is ruled by a coalition of forty-six lesser lords."

Speaking of this...

He Ma looked grief-stricken.

Ninjas and samurai should serve the daimyo.
