Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

Volume 54: Have you ever seen the Great Ninja Village? Nonsense will make you fly

"Damn it, why aren't these Konoha ninjas afraid of us?"

The one leading the team in Kumogakure is a special jonin.

Having experienced the Second and Third World Wars in succession, he is experienced and knows the habits of Konoha ninjas well.

Although they are very powerful, they are constrained by the customs of the village and have always been tolerant towards the outside world.

Generally speaking... unless they encounter it on their home soil, Konoha ninjas will usually choose to be tolerant and then retreat, abiding by the principle of "never acting on impulse outside".

But right now...

He was leading only a seven-member ninja team, and the Konoha team had at most one elite Chunin.

If you don’t become a jonin, you will always be an ant.

If a fight breaks out, my side will undoubtedly win.

But the way the other party looked at his team... there was obviously something wrong!

There are no concerns about village policies or the attitudes of the upper echelons.

They just treated them as prey and didn't take him, a jonin, seriously at all. How hateful!

"Captain...it's a Konoha ninja!"

"Nonsense, I'm not blind, I can see."

"How is it? I heard from the elders in my family that if you encounter Konoha ninjas in a third-party country, as long as they are not Uchiha ninjas, you should take the initiative..."

"idiot!"

"Have you forgotten what Raikage-sama told you?"

The Hidden Cloud Ninja jonin angrily rebuked that the ninja world is not about fighting and killing, but about following orders from superiors.

If it was a few years earlier, he might have gone for it right away out of youthful vigor.

But after experiencing two ninja wars, he understood one thing: if you don't act according to orders... even if you achieve victory, you will be blamed for disobeying orders, and in the end the credit will go to other ninjas.

He won't do anything that's thankless.

Following orders is the way for these little ninjas with no background to survive.

"Eh? Instructions? The mission I accepted only said to help build a base in the Land of Hot Water, help the citizens of the Land of Lightning who are in the Land of Water evacuate, and follow the leader's orders to receive the ninjas and merchants who escaped from the Village of Mist..."

"Look at your forehead protector, idiot!"

The jonin was helpless and whispered a reminder: "The instructions from the Raikage have been engraved on the new forehead protector. So you chunins don't even check your equipment before setting off?"

"Just like a cannon fodder genin who just graduated from the ninja school."

"Forehead protection..."

Hearing this, the Cloud Village Chunin quickly took off the forehead guard that he was using as a crotch protector.

With eyes wide open, he stared at the side closest to the oregano, on which was engraved a line of small words: [Please strictly abide by local laws and respect local customs and the system of the ninja village]

"Hiss..." The Cloud Village Chunin took a breath and said, "This, I don't even remember what the laws of the Land of Hot Springs are. What should I do?"

"What kind of laws can a country have? As far as we ninjas are concerned, there must not be any fights or ninja encounters within the country!"

"It would be fine if it was in a hostile village or country, but the Kingdom of Hot Springs is a neutral country."

"If it was before this operation, it would be fine. Lord Raikage would definitely support us in not worrying about anything when encountering enemies during the mission and just doing it. But now..."

There was nothing wrong with being a neutral country, it was just a layer of window paper, as long as the Raikage nodded, who cares about the laws of the Land of Soup. The Kumogakure ninjas could break the face of the Land of Soup if they stood up.

But now even the Raikage, who has always been fond of martial arts, has approved the new policy of Kumogakure forehead protectors, which is tantamount to tacitly agreeing to the above words.

If he committed a crime outside, let alone getting support, it would be a good thing if he was not charged by the temporary military action court composed of the Raikage's advisory group when he returned.

Thinking of this, the wrinkles on the middle-aged jonin's face seemed to deepen a little, and his already somewhat hunched back unconsciously bent downwards again.

"B-but...why do these Konoha ninjas look like they're not afraid at all?"

"They should be a special military operation like us, right? Aren't they afraid of being punished if they fight with us here?"

The Kumogakure Chunin questioned in a low voice. They were also in a sudden encounter, and even their strength was inferior to theirs, but they did not feel the slightest bit of oppression on the faces of those Konoha ninjas.

Especially the guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a green tights, who looked eager to try.

"How should I know? I'm not a Konoha ninja."

"Okay, stop talking so much, and retreat immediately without causing any more trouble."

"If something does happen, we have to report the on-site intelligence back to Lord Raikage and let the big man resolve it through the village's diplomatic channels."

The Hidden Cloud Ninja swore in a low voice, moved his body, and immediately disappeared in the low-pressure vortex.

With the backbone of the team gone, the Cloud Village Chunin beside him no longer insisted and retreated in disgrace.

Might Guy: “━┳━ ━┳━”

Several Konoha ninjas who had already begun to refine chakra and prepared for a desperate fight stood there in a daze, looking at each other.

I don't understand why the usually warlike Kumogakure just ran away without saying a word. They clearly have a jonin leading the team and obviously have the advantage.

At least……

What about trash talk? Shouldn't he at least leave some meaningless trash talk like "Konoha ninjas, just wait for me"?

Kai had no choice but to cancel the pre-swing of the Eight Gates, coughed lightly and asked: "Sarutobi, what do you think?"

“It’s hard to understand, but… it feels good for some reason.”

No fighting, cool.jpg

At this moment, it was just like that moment. However, the attitude and stance of Kumogakure and Konoha towards the outside world seemed to have completely reversed.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's go to the Hot Spring Country base and report."

A moment later, a group of Chunins arrived at the Zhuyu base, and there seemed to be a fierce quarrel taking place outside the base.

The ninja wearing the Yuyin Village forehead protector danced and expressed his dissatisfaction: "You Konoha are too domineering!"

"It's fine to establish a base in our country of soup, but isn't it reasonable to charge you some temporary stationing fees?"

"We in Tangyin don't want to get involved in the disputes between your big villages, but as a neutral ninja village, it's only right that we exercise our rights!"

"You don't want us to side with Kumogakure, do you?"

The person in charge of the negotiation was Konoha's special jonin, who scratched his ear impatiently and said, "We will pay if the Hidden Cloud Village pays."

Bingzu Leitong secretly followed Wu Tiao Jieyue's orders.

He also got the other party's promise that after completing this task, he would be promoted to the position of Hokage's bodyguard.

The original words of Gojo Jieyue's private order were as follows:

"If Yugakure dares to charge neutrality fees or stationing fees, we'll teach them what it means to be too far from heaven and too close to Konoha."

"If you don't want to become the next Rain Country, then you should learn the lessons that a small village should have."

To put it in a complicated way -

In addition to sucking blood from the Hidden Mist Village, this special operation also requires showing off muscles to these small ninja villages and making clear Konoha's current position.

Tell them that the days when they didn't have to do anything and could just rely on the name of a neutral village to reap dividends and receive benefits from Konoha are gone forever!

They thought that they could scare off the hidden ninjas and avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually took out cash with the seal of the Hidden Cloud Village from his pocket and said, "They gave it to me!"

The stacks of banknotes swayed up and down, making the sound of "pa pa pa" as if they were hitting his parallel face.

No, the Kumogakure ninja changed their nature? Did they really give it to them?

The next second, Bingzu Leitong immediately revealed a ferocious expression, took out a kunai and pressed it against the forehead of the Yugakure ninja:

"No, do you really dare to ask us for money from Konoha?"

"Have you ever seen the Black... Great Ninja Village?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you fly."

Volume 55: Your way of thinking is too diode, I won't argue with you

When the Tangyin envoy came to the Yunyin Village to cry and complain.

Raikage Building.

"Good, good, this is really great news!"

Advisor Raikage laughed wildly toward the sky, his gradually shrinking muscles even showing signs of regaining a second spring.

He looked at the envoy from Yuyin Village in front of him with a friendly face, waved his hand, and asked his men to hand over a large stack of reward money and some inferior ninjutsu scrolls to the other party.

Envoy Tang Yin thanked him repeatedly with tears of gratitude, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Raikage who seemed to be accumulating anger.

Fearing that the other party would object, he quickly disappeared from the sight of the Kumogakure high-level officials, holding the thick stack of reward money and ninjutsu scroll.

Seeing the outsiders leave, Lei Ying Ai couldn't wait to slam the table and asked in an irritated voice: "Elder Yafu! Why is this happening?!"

Not long ago.

The envoy of Yugakure Village came to the Raikage Building, and in front of the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, he tearfully accused the Konoha ninjas of numerous atrocities in Yugakure Village.

Such as "establishing a temporary base without paying", "occupying the main transportation route of Yugakure Village", "threatening the envoys of Yugakure Village and snatching the neutrality fee paid by Kumogakure from the envoys", "stealing the super light and heavy rock technique of Iwagakure Village and being directly flown up"...

What's even worse is that they even occupied their Yuugakure Ninja Hospital, forcing the Yuugakure Ninjas to cry more quietly.

According to the description of the Yuyin envoy, any ninja dog passing by would be kicked by the Konoha ninja.

As for how many of the accusations were true and how many were false... Ai could only say it was hard to say. Even his brain, which was packed with muscles, felt something was wrong.

At the same time, their Tangyin envoy also praised Kumogakure a lot, focusing on the central idea of ​​"too far away from Kumogakure, too close to Konoha", which took up a whole hour of Raikage Ai's muscle exercise.

After finishing all this meaningless bureaucratic nonsense, Tang Yincun finally expressed his purpose.

What about "abandoning the neutral village position and fully joining the Great Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere", "comprehensively boycotting Konoha, all the glory belongs to Kumogakure", "jointly building the first island chain blockade line with Kumogakure to curb the development of Konoha"...

The emotional value was provided to the Raikage Advisory Group, but given the straightforward character of the Raikage, no matter how you look at the tiny territory of the Kingdom of Soup on the map...

It has nothing to do with "big alliance", "glory" or "island chain".

During the conversation, the Raikage Ai repeatedly showed off his biceps to the elder Yafu, repeatedly raising his chakra dumbbells as a hint.

Hinting to Elder Yafu to quickly drive away this little Kala Tangyin.

However, Elder Yafu, the chief advisor to the Raikage, turned a blind eye to Ai's dumbbells, and with a smile, he rewarded Yugakure Village with 100 million taels of village development funds and a large number of low-level ninjutsu, and promised that there would be no less than 1 billion taels of aid funds in the future.

The Raikage's eyes widened and he was about to blurt out "This old guy is not worth conspiring with" subconsciously.

Fortunately, years of experience have allowed him to control his temper.

Now, it’s time for post-mortem reckoning—

"Elder Yafu! I don't understand!" Ai pointed at the back of the Tangyin envoy as he left: "Why on earth would you give money to the Tangyin ninjas? A full 100 million taels?"

"Even Samui, who sneaked into Konoha alone, received only 10 million ryo in aid. Aren't you always talking about the tight financial situation of Kumogakure?"

Ma Buyi, who seemed to be invisible at the side, heard her best friend's name and nodded repeatedly to show her approval.

The actions of the old-school consultants were simply too unreasonable in the eyes of these young ninjas.

"Ai, you are still too young!"

"You just yell at us seniors without thinking, but we, the advisory elders who work so hard for Yunyin, have a lot more things to consider."

"The way you think about things right now is too illogical. I won't argue with you, but I hope you will calm down and listen to me carefully."

The great elder Yafu slowly raised a finger, with wisdom flashing in his eyes:

"Remember the ninja forehead protection reform plan that I strongly asked you to promote?"

"So what?"

"That is undoubtedly the information Samui sent back. The ninjas of Konoha must have promoted the new forehead protector one step ahead of us."
