"We, the Land Country, are also willing to bear 3% of your Water Country's military expenditures."

"Ha!" Goji Yagura smiled coldly and sat back in his chair, "You seem to think you have me in your hands..."

"I want each of you to be responsible for 5%!"

I thought Karuta Yagura still disagreed, but his next words made Luosha and Ohnoki choke.

What a lion!

And what a good move, to retreat in order to advance!

Karuji Yagura’s idea is very simple: future benefits are unknown, but future losses are inevitable.

Take advantage of this opportunity to reap the benefits that you see. Even if you suffer heavy losses in the future, they will be much smaller than the losses of the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

Comparing the two, it was Yagura Karuta who won this round!

"Are you crazy or do you think I'm senile?!"

Ohnoki was the first to disagree, "Do you know what 5% of military spending is? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I know, but I also know what our Water Country will face once you unite your forces!" Karuju Yagura refused to give in. "Either you each take responsibility for 5% of our Water Country's military expenses, or I withdraw from this meeting."

"Anyway, it's your two countries that are joining forces. What does that have to do with our Water Country?"

"Wouldn't it be good for me to digest the two territories I swallowed?"

This time it was Karuichi Yagura who looked calm and composed, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, a very comfortable look on his face.

Kazekage Rasa and Ōnoki looked at each other and nodded at each other.

Then, Kazekage Luosha stretched out four fingers.

"4% is the final bottom line for our Wind Country."

"It's the same in our Land of Earth," Ohnoki followed closely.

"Um……"

After a silent thought, Karuju Yagura did not refuse immediately, but weighed the pros and cons quickly.

8% of the military expenditure will be shared by the two countries. Karuta Yagura is tempted by such huge benefits!

Even if we have to face the full-force attack of the Fire Nation in the future, as long as we have laid a solid foundation of interests, we will be able to advance and retreat with ease.

Isn't war started for profit? !

But looking at the Kazekage Rasa and the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, they are like gamblers who have lost the bet and are now starting to bet everything they have on a slight possibility for the future.

"Okay!" Kujiya's lips curled up slightly, "I agree to cooperate with you!"

"But let me make it clear in advance that once the cooperation is reached, I want both of you to settle the military expenses of our Water Country immediately!"

"impossible!"

Neither Rasa nor Ōnoki would agree.

"I'll give you half first, and I'll settle the rest with you when we unite our forces to attack the Fire Nation."

"Give me 7% first!" Karuji Yagura bit the number firmly, "In short, if you agree, we will form an alliance, and I will do my best to hold Konoha back. If you don't agree, the previous verbal agreement will be invalid!"

"it is good!"

Ohnoki stood up suddenly and said, "Give us 7% first, but if you, the Water Country, don't contribute..." Ohnoki's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Don't blame us when the time comes!"

"Of course not."

Karuju Yagura grinned and stretched out his right fist, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Kazekage Rasa and Tsuchikage Ōnoki also smiled at the same time, stretched out their right arms together, and bumped their three fists together.

At this point, the three major countries and the three hidden villages officially united!

The biggest challenge for the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire since its founding is about to come, but Konoha is unaware of all this.

However, just when the three Kage formally signed the alliance agreement, the Konoha Ninja Squadron led by Hatake Akira and Kakashi had successfully arrived near the Hidden Cloud Village.

Stealing action,

Coming soon!

Chapter 176 Break into the Hidden Cloud Village and start stealing the house!

A long stretch of mountains surrounded by white clouds.

Various plank roads wind around and lush pine and cypress trees reach up to the sky.

From time to time, birds fly over the waterfalls in the mountains. The bird calls accompanied by the sound of flowing water make it like a paradise on earth.

This is the Hidden Cloud Village.

If the Land of Fire is flat and level, then the Land of Lightning is a land of mountains and hills.

The defense line of Konohagakure Village is the vast strategic depth of the Land of Fire, while the Hidden Cloud Village relies on the terrain of the mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was the first time that Akira Hatake saw a town located on top of a mountain, which was an eye-opener for him.

Somewhat immersed in the beautiful scenery around him, Hatake Akira couldn't help but slow down his pace.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Kakashi, who was following behind Hatake Akira, asked quietly, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Hinata Hizashi tilted his head and glanced at Kakashi, his eyes full of confusion.

He had his Byakugan open the whole way, and with the help of Hatake Akira's purple-red chakra chain, the Byakugan's observation range was wider.

There is obviously nothing abnormal, what do you mean by saying this?

Feeling the gazes behind him, Kakashi turned his head to look at Hinata Hizashi, then turned back and looked straight ahead to hide his embarrassment.

He admitted that he did ignore the Hyuga clan's white eyes...

"Nothing unusual, and Hizashi hasn't spoken yet, right?"

Hatake Akira resolved the awkward situation between the two sides with one sentence, and then he sighed, "Such a beautiful place will be engulfed in war in a little while..."

"Can't bear it?"

"No, I just feel it's a pity. What do you think is the need for the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Hatake Akira shook his head. He was not that sentimental, and the few modern thoughts he had left became weaker and weaker as he lived longer in the Naruto world.

The law of the jungle and survival of the fittest has always been the theme of the Naruto world.

The so-called bloodline and hard work are all to pave the way for this theme.

If you are not strong enough, your home will be stolen!

"I don't know, but I know that the Hidden Cloud Village brought this upon themselves." Kakashi wasn't thinking as much as Hatake Akira right now. He only believed in Hatake Akira and the Unseen Snow in his hand.

Everything was just a matter of words from Hatake Akira, or of not seeing Xue Yidao.

Thinking too much will only add to the troubles, which is not Kakashi's style now.

Kakashi is now more and more like a swordsman, with a sharp edge but also a scabbard to hide the edge. No one can ignore him.

Especially when Kakashi unsheathed his sword.

"Then try to control yourself and suppress the power of blood elimination a little bit, so as not to cause too many casualties to the civilians of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Hatake Akira gave Kakashi some instructions, then turned around and circled around the group of Konoha ninjas that followed him.

"Civilian casualties are inevitable in war. I am not sensitive, nor do I forbid you from attacking civilians. But when it is not necessary, try not to cause more killings."

The reason why Hatake Akira said this was not because he was overflowing with love, but because he was making plans for the future.

When a ninja dies, he dies. This is the fate of a ninja. They have this awareness before they become ninjas.

But if we wantonly massacre civilians, then this blood feud will never be washed away.

Although Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village have now formed a deep hatred, this hatred is only a deep hatred at the ninja level. For civilians who just want to make a living, it may not be that deep.

Akira Hatake's plan is very simple. As long as he tries his best to ensure the safety of civilians in the Land of Lightning, there will be less resistance to establishing diplomatic relations after the war.

and……

If we accidentally unify the ninja world with the help of the Third Ninja World War, it will become easier to deal with conflicts in all aspects.

Of course, this kind of thinking is a bit far-fetched, but thinking three steps ahead and preparing for a rainy day have always been the strengths of Akira Hatake.

It's always good to prepare early.

"Uncle Hizashi, can you observe the specific situation inside the Hidden Cloud Village now?"

After issuing an order, Akira Hatake asked Hyuga Hizashi.

"I can't see clearly." Hinata Hizashi shook his head, "There is a barrier around the Hidden Cloud Village, similar to the barrier of our village, which can effectively block the detection of external enemies."

"Is it not okay to roll your eyes?" Hatake Akira was a little surprised and a little unwilling.

"If we get closer... it should be possible." His most proud reconnaissance ability was thwarted, and Hinata Hizashi felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but say something.

"Okay, then come closer."

Hatake Akira turned around, crouched down, raised his right hand and waved it forward, "Follow me, Uncle Hizashi, pay attention to the investigation."

"Don't worry Ming!"

As soon as Hinata Hizashi finished speaking, Hatake Akira took a step forward and continued to lurk, and the group of Konoha ninjas behind him followed quickly.

……

Hidden Cloud Village,

Raikage Building.

"Recall the troops from the front..."

The older elder of the Hidden Cloud Village spoke up, "The Sandaime and A are both dead. There is no point in fighting any further."

"I agree." The third elder raised his hand to show that he agreed with the first elder's opinion.

"The proposal to retreat has been approved, and the daimyo has also given the order. He is worried..."
