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

Atsuyi did not forget his mission and pretended to be calm and said, "Everyone from Sunagakure, I am here to discuss an alliance."

As expected, they were discussing alliance!

"There's Konoha between us Sand Village and your Kumogakure. How can we form an alliance? Tell me the reasons."

Atsuyi recalled the words that Elder Yafu had told him before he left: "It is precisely because there is Konoha between us that we must quickly form an alliance!"

"If our two villages border each other, there will probably be a lot of friction, right? No hatred is the prerequisite for our alliance!"

"Having two common villages is a necessary condition for our alliance."

"Konoha is very powerful. Even after being besieged by the four major ninja villages, it still stands at the top of the ninja world. Now Konoha has formed an alliance with Kirigakure, and its strength has been further improved. We must unite to overthrow Konoha's hegemony."

"Then there's Iwagakure. Needless to say, Iwagakure is our common enemy and must be eliminated."

"What do you think, Yondaime Kazekage?"

Luo Sha crossed his arms and nodded without denying.

Quite a nice wording, directly pointing to the current situation in the ninja world.

Although there is not much intersection with the Hidden Cloud Village, they have a common enemy, which means they are an unquestionable partnership!

"About the alliance with Kumogakure... Yes!"

"Okay, let's sign now..."

Atzii couldn't wait to take out the sealing scroll and take out the "Yunsha Treaty".

"However, there are conditions for forming an alliance with our Sand Village."

"Conditions...you say."

condition.

This was also predicted by the Great Elder Yafu. For the sake of the Great Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere plan, it would be okay to give some benefits to the poor guys in Sand Village as necessary.

"First of all, it's money. During the alliance, Kumogakure needs to pay our Sand Village 400 million taels of cash in military aid every year, as well as a full set of ninja tools for more than 100 people, to be paid quarterly. Otherwise, we Sand Village will have the right to unilaterally terminate the alliance contract."

"this is OK!"

Atzi simply calculated in his mind the price of a full set of ninja tools for a hundred people, and considering that the cash did not exceed the red line drawn by Elder Yafu, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that the first condition was agreed to without hesitation, the liberal Sunagakure elders showed a mixed expression of joy and sadness.

The conditions are shouted out less.

This Yunyin is really a rich man with a lot of money to burn.

"Second, Kumogakure needs to help us share the military pressure of Iwagakure. If one side is attacked, the other side must send ninja reinforcements. Before dealing with Konoha, we must first solve the problem of Iwagakure."

"That's no problem. Our original plan in Kumogakure was to get rid of those monkeys in Iwagakure first." Atsuyi patted his chest and promised.

"The last item... I need you from Kumogakure to send strong and hard-working laborers to help our Sand Village build the road!"

"labor?"

Atsuyi was stunned, and remembered the secret words that Raikage said to him: Atsuyi, I want to send the group of water ghosts in the southern part of the village to the Sand Village.

Isn’t this a coincidence?!

Atsuyi had long been annoyed with those black-skinned water ghosts. They were causing troubles and not doing their jobs every day, which made the southern part of Kumogakure very upset.

It just so happened that the Ōkumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere plan had the highest priority, and in the name of the plan, the elders were forced to send that group of black-skinned water ghosts to Sand Village as slaves.

"That's no problem!"

"But I would like to ask, where do you, the Sand Village, want to build the road to?"

I have to say, the roads in Sand Village are terrible. Even Atsuyi, a ninja who is used to the mountainous terrain of Kumogakure, had a hard time getting to the Kazekage Building after swallowing a mouthful of sand.

"Konoha."

"Oh... Konoha. Huh? Konoha?!"

Atsuyi reacted and was startled, his eyes immediately became alert: "No, you Sunagakure are going to Konoha? Why?"

"What else could the road be built for? Of course, it's to expand commercial and cultural exchanges with Konoha Village."

"No, you want to do business with Konoha?" Atsuyi was dumbfounded: "You chose Konoha instead of us, Kumogakure? Then what does our alliance mean?"

"According to the management of the Ninja World, military partners are true allies. Expanding commercial and cultural exchanges with Konoha is just to earn military funds for our Sand Village."

The Fourth Kazekage explained without blushing or panting: "It's just a business cooperation, how can it be considered an alliance? Our real ally in Sunagakure is you, Kumogakure!"

"The people of Konoha would never have thought that every cash we, the Sand Village, earned from them would turn into shurikens and pierce their flesh and blood."

hiss--

"What a cruel Sand Village!" Atsuyi took a deep breath and secretly admired the decision of the village leaders.

There's nothing wrong with forming an alliance with Sunagakure! They actually wanted to suck blood from Konoha to make money, and then use the money to make weapons to attack Konoha... They really don't care about the relationship between partners at all!

From this perspective, helping Sunagakure build the road to Konoha is not aiding the enemy, nor is it being a victim and pushing the butt from behind, but secretly sucking the blood of Konoha!

Maybe this is the "Secretly Crossing the Valley of the End" mentioned in "Thirty-Five Strategies".

Atsuyi bowed in the direction of Rosa and said, "Fourth Kazekage, great!"

Luo Sha returned the greeting and bowed in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village: "Fourth Raikage, hard!"

"I have agreed to this on behalf of Lord Raikage. Probably..." Atsuyi thought about the number of water ghosts: "There will probably be no less than 500 strong and healthy laborers sent to you."

The liberal elders could no longer sit still, and wanted to cut another blow to Kumogakure: "Um, the messenger of Kumogakure. The financial situation of our Sand Village is not ideal, and the money to pay the workers may not be much. Regarding the wages, you see..."

"Oh, it's nothing. We in the Hidden Cloud Village have already paid for you."

"Justice!"

The liberal elder bowed again, fearing that there was something fishy going on, and asked tentatively, "I wonder, what is the composition of this group of workers...?"

"They are refugees who came to our Kumogakure during the civil war in Kirigakure. They have been well fed and fattened up in our Kumogakure, and it is time for them to contribute to the village."

"So, they are Kirigakure refugees..."

The liberal elder murmured, his eyes subconsciously glancing at the ninja world map on the conference table, connecting the Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sandgakure.

triangle!

The liberal elder suddenly had an idea: "How about, in addition to the Cloud Sand Treaty, we Sand Village will sign another treaty with you Cloud Village."

"Please say."

The liberal elder said leisurely, "Look, Kirigakure and Water Country have always had a high-pressure policy internally, and there are many people who want to escape. Your Kumogakure borders Kirigakure, so why don't you specifically accept these people for our Sand Village, and then transfer them to our Sand Village as laborers through Kumogakure!"

"We, Sunagakure, will take care of the reputation and public opinion. You can just push the problems to us."

"According to the number of Kirigakure Runren you provided, we will return a portion of Kumogakure cash to you."

"How about we make this treaty a temporary trade contract and name it the Triangular Trade Agreement?"

hiss--

Isn't that human trafficking?

No, that’s not right.

Atzi thought again and realized that products like "Runren" are not protected by law no matter which village they are in.

If a ninja escapes, he will be defined as a traitor and hunted down by the village's investigators, or a bounty will be posted on his head at an underground bounty agency. For ordinary people, except for perverted countries like the Land of Water, there are no restrictions on this.

Generally, the refugees from the Land of Water escaped and were captured and imprisoned until death, became slaves of the nobles, or became "ninja synthesizers" of the Hidden Mist Village, serving as the first kill tools for the ninja school students.

Therefore, even if I am captured by Kumogakure and sent to Sand Village to be a slave, it doesn’t matter at all!

Maybe these water ghosts will even shout "Great Lord, the sky is clear!"

It just so happens that the Kumogakure stronghold in the Land of Hot Springs has not yet been demolished.

"That's no problem! Let's sign the contract without further ado!"

Soon, two copies of the "Yunsha Treaty" and the "Triangle Trade Contract" were brought to the negotiation table. Both parties reached the results they wanted and happily signed their names on the papers and stamped them with the official seal.

This alliance has been concluded.

"Would the envoy from Kumogakure stay in our Sand Village for two more days to exchange culture and ninjutsu?"

"Ahaha... Well, forget it. I have to hurry back to report."

In the conference room, there was a harmonious scene with both the host and the guests having a great time.

The discordant footsteps once again entered everyone's ears: "Report to Master Kazekage, there is an incident at the Ninja Tool Shop!"

The cause of the incident was that some educated readers, after reading the third issue of Yimu, felt increasingly uncomfortable and ran to the ninja tool shop like they were playing tricks.

First, he asked the owner of the ninja tool shop, "I want ten Exploding Talismans, without any dust on them." The owner picked for him after a long time.

He then asked the owner of the ninja tool shop, "I want ten kunai, without any rust on them." Although the owner was unhappy, he still picked out ten kunai for him.

The cultural ninja was still not satisfied, and deliberately made things difficult for him by saying, "I need ten shurikens, washed seven times with water!"

The owner of the ninja tool shop was immediately furious: "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm going to use gold to clean your sword?"

"No? Are you trying to kill me during the mission?"

"What does it have to do with me when you carry out your mission?!"

Just like that, the cultural ninja and the owner of the ninja tool shop had a big fight and caused quite a mess.

Volume 83: I could elbow you all day long!

Konoha Village.

"Akai~ Advisor, I have a very powerful technique here, do you want to learn it?"

Akai, who was doing a special training of walking upside down while circling Konoha, stopped, looked up, and recognized the big man in front of him through his upside-down perspective.

"Ah! It's Advisor Gojo!"

Akai shouted excitedly, his tone unable to hide the excitement of meeting his idol.

Thanks to Advisor Gojo, Akai received a considerable bonus for his outstanding performance in the Kirigakure Free Operation.

With the money, Akai bought a lot of muscle tonics at Ichiraku Ninja Tool Store, and went to Konoha Hospital for physical therapy to repair the hidden injuries left by his usual training.

It seems that the reform of Ichiraku Ninja Tool Store and Konoha Hospital also cannot be separated from Consultant Gojo?

This is really the great ruler in Akai's heart.

Akai rolled over and landed on his feet, brushing off the dust on his body. "If it's something that Advisor Gojo is teaching, I want to learn it no matter what it is!"

"Just saying...counselor, can you?"

After saying that, Akai scratched his head with a wry smile, obviously realizing that it was a bit impolite to say such words.

There is also a gap between Chunins. Although both are Chunins, Might Guy is a practical Chunin who carries out missions for a long time, while Gojo Kegetsu is known for his civilian duties, so there is no way to compare them.

If we really want to talk about guidance, we don’t know who is guiding whom now.

So Kai decided to use a more euphemistic approach: "Counselor Gojo, you should be a ninjutsu ninja. As for me... my talent in ninjutsu is terrible."

"Of course I know that. Kai, I remember your performance in the Ninja School very clearly."

"Don't underestimate me, my advisor. I'm very strong."

"Come with me."

"Yes, Sir Advisor!"

Under the leadership of Gojo Jieyue, the two men quickly arrived at a secluded training ground. After identifying themselves and stating their requirements, the guards at the training ground obediently withdrew.

The main point is that there are no eyes on the wall.

Akai looked around and asked curiously, "Counselor Gojo, what do you want?"

If it weren't for his trust in Gojo Jieyue, Kai would have been on guard. With no one around and no witnesses, it was a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Akai, before I teach you ninjutsu, tell me how many gates of the Eight Gates you can open?"
