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

The best way is to shift the blame for the assassination of the consultant to Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The Fourth Ninja World War will break out at the fastest speed, so that the Akatsuki led by Nagato can take advantage of the situation and benefit from it.

Obito seemed to have noticed Black Zetsu's thoughts and warned him, "Don't interfere with me, Black Zetsu."

"I want them to...feel the pain."

"You misunderstood me, Obito. How could I stop you? Just go for it!"

……

……

Kirigakure Village.

"An invitation from Kumogakure?"

Master Yuan frowned and said, "Did those barbarians take the wrong medicine? Or is this... a trap?"

Not long ago they formed an alliance with Konoha and gave Kumogakure a slap in the face, and now they turn around and seek exchanges with the ninja school?

"Master Yuanshi, do you think they are trying to set a trap to hunt down our younger generation of ninjas?"

"Hard to say."

"But from what I know about the Raikage, he is not capable of doing such a thing."

The Kumogakure ninjas were a bit barbaric, but they still had plenty of martial virtue. Judging from the personalities of the successive Raikages, they would not do something like luring someone to their death.

If we have to fight, it will be a flesh-and-flesh fight on the battlefield.

"That is to say, Kumogakure really wants to communicate with our ninja school... It's unbelievable."

"Maybe it was stimulated by Konoha."

A few days later, the news that Konoha and Sunagakure had declared themselves business allies had spread throughout the ninja world. It was said that in order to promote friendship between the two villages, Konoha had sent the elders of its own village, the Mito clan, to Iwagakure for long-term stationing.

In addition, Sunagakure also publicly announced that it would send ninja school students to Konoha for in-depth exchanges and learning.

It can be said that both sides really took a step back for the sake of "peace".

In fact, Master Yuan was somewhat envious. Apart from other things, just the fact that he was an outposted elder...

The one stationed in their Kirigakure was the troublesome guy Danzo. The pitch-black Konoha official ship docked at the shore of Kirigakure Village caused panic among the Kirigakure Brahmins.

Judging from the reaction of the Anbu, Danzo has been trying to reach into the Hidden Mist, and he did it very covertly, so the Anbu ninjas were unable to catch him in the act and obtain evidence.

This is an external incident. If you don't want to cause trouble, you can only follow the rules.

Let the facts speak for themselves and drive Danzo back to Konoha Village.

"After all, it's the Dark Ninja World... They do things without leaving any traces. It would be much easier if the elder stationed in our Kirigakure was Mitokado En." The Master said with emotion.

Gonbei stood aside and asked tentatively, "So, Elder. Should we accept Kumogakure's invitation?"

"How many students are there at the Ninja School right now?"

"About 1000 people."

The Master thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask Danzo to exchange ideas with the Ninja Schools, and select the 20 most talented people from the Ninja Schools to go to Konoha. Since they agree to exchange ideas with Sand Village, they must give us the same status as Kirigakure."

"The Sunagakure incident reminded me."

"The ninja world is different now than it was in the past. If we want to develop, we can't work behind closed doors. We must communicate with the outside world."

"Konoha is naturally the most suitable person to communicate with."

Hearing this, Gonbei's eyes lit up: "Master Yuanshi, I am willing to lead this group of the best ninja school students to Konoha as the leader."

"Well, that's fine. Right now, you and Mei Terumi are the ones who have the most contact with Konoha in the village." The Master nodded, completely unaware that the hearts of his most loyal subordinates had already been corrupted by Konoha's sugar-coated bullets.

Gonbei got the result he wanted, and asked hypocritically with concern: "This... Master Yuanshi, are you ignoring Yunyin's request? If you keep hitting those barbarians in the face, I'm worried that they will become desperate."

"I ask you, why can't you have them all?"

"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. I heard that Kumogakure has recently been trying to form a ninja village alliance headed by Kumogakure, and has already won over many small villages to join their alliance."

"Even a small village like Yugakure has invested a large amount of aid funds to show their determination to the ninja world."

"But they have always lacked the support of the four major ninja villages, so they have tried so hard to win over us, Kirigakure and Sand Village."

"Even after we issued a statement condemning them, they still shamelessly stick to us."

Master Yuan sneered and revealed Yunyin's plan in one sentence.

Ninjas have always admired the strong.

If Konoha launched the Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere plan, Kirigakure might have agreed to it reluctantly.

Konoha's strength was gained through three great ninja wars. Even when faced with sieges from the four major ninja villages, it still stood at the top of the ninja world.

Such a village stands out and is qualified to be the leader of the alliance based on its seniority and achievements.

but……

What the hell are you, Yunyin?

The Sandaime was tricked and killed by the people of Iwagakure. As the Kage of a village, his death was so miserable.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village has indeed shown a thriving posture in recent years, the Fourth Raikage Ai and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee have also made their own titles.

There is a tendency that he could replace post-war Konoha and become the boss of the ninja village.

But this kind of thing is not what you appear to be. It is like participating in the Ninja World Tournament. Although you are very popular and have a lot of momentum, you have never won the championship in the Ninja World War.

No crown, that's a shock wave!

Even if Kirigakure is inferior to others, it will not succumb to the shock wave.

"Since they are so eager to have a great ninja village to support them, then we should make good use of this opportunity and not miss it."

"Send the disciples of the Elders to Kumogakure for a period of... thirty days. No, for three months, or even three years. It would be best if they never come back."

"Those useless guys have poor talent as ninjas, but when it comes to eating, drinking, having fun and gaining benefits, no one is better than them."

No village's shadow or chief elder is truly stupid.

They all know the current situation of their villages better than each other.

The master also knew that their Kirigakure elder sect had already declined. The younger generation of ninjas were facing a lack of successors, and only relied on the origin of history to hang on to their last bit of glory.

That group of old veterans have become corrupt and have become a cancer that occupies village resources and blocks the path to upward mobility.

If Kirigakure wants to be great, it must be ruthless and make the cut.

The Master has also been thinking about it. The Hidden Mist Village has formed an alliance with Konoha to learn advanced technology, expand the scale of trade, increase economic growth, and empower politics. Internally, it needs a suitable knife...

Now, Yunyin handed over the knife of internal reform.

Sending the younger generations of the elders to Kumogakure would be the best way to force them to break their defense and kill people. This would not only eliminate the cancer of the village in one fell swoop, but also allow them to cry to Konoha for material support.

This kills two birds with one stone!

If they are not killed... then let those second-generation ninjas who only know how to have fun demand benefits and become a financial burden on the Village of Clouds, so as to give back to the Village of Mist.

No matter how you look at it, as long as Kumogakure does not change the "Ninja Village Alliance" plan, it will be a big win for Kirigakure!

Master Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea and continued, "You will be responsible for arranging this matter later."

"That's how Mei Terumi reported it."

"What's the status of the Yondaime?"

"Three days ago, Mei Terumi reported in. She said that the Yondaime is no longer in danger of death. He can stay conscious for about ten minutes a day, but he is still unable to move or communicate with others."

"Just kept saying 'keep on living'."

"Survive?"

The master frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed: "I think Yagura cares about the village and knows that as the Fourth Mizukage, he absolutely cannot die at this stage."

"This is the desire to survive that a shadow should have."

"This is Konoha... The life crisis that left us helpless was resolved so easily after arriving in Konoha. The Aishiyu ward is truly magical. Tsunade's medical skills are truly amazing."

Gonbei nodded repeatedly in agreement. He had personally experienced the development of Konoha.

"Um... Master Yuanshi, Mei Terumi also said that Konoha is asking for the second phase of medical expenses, and the money is not enough."

"Not enough? Didn't we just give him 50 million taels?"

"It is said that Lord Yagura now needs Aishiyu's ward to maintain his vital signs and take rehabilitation measures. The cost is extremely high. In addition to Tsunade's medical fees... all added up, 50 million ryo is really not enough."

Yuanshi's face suddenly fell.

The things were good, but they were too expensive. It had only been a short time, and 50 million taels had been burned.

"How much does the second phase of treatment cost?"

"Five thousand..." Quan Bingwei stopped talking immediately, his eyes turned slyly, and he changed his words to "Sixty million taels."

"What?! How come it's 10 million taels more expensive than the first issue?"

"This... It is said that more precious consumables will be needed for Lord Yagura's recovery, and a team of experts will be formed to diagnose the illusion he was hit by..."

Gonbei spoke hesitantly, his heartbeat uncontrollably speeding up. A sweat the size of a pill had already soaked his back.

He is fucking crazy!

I actually... I actually said it out loud!

This money is never enough. No one knows better than him how expensive it is to enjoy the entertainment facilities in Konoha like an emperor.

A regular salary is not enough to make a living.

The Hidden Mist Village was too poor, and the benefits he could get from being the secretary of the Great Elder were limited. Especially after the lifting of the blood mist politics, the benefits he could get from asking him for help in the past suddenly decreased a lot.

The result of a combination of various factors is that his money is no longer enough to support his lavish consumption in Konoha.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Jumping from the remote Kirigakure village to the international village of Konoha, my mentality has expanded infinitely.

Gonbei, he can no longer live without such a luxurious life.

Everything requires money, and everything can be solved with money...especially the "Night Ninja Club" at No. 38, Konoha New Commercial Street.

As long as he is willing to spend money, he can even get princesses in distress, noble ladies, and popular actresses from small countries such as the Kingdom of Soup, the Kingdom of Flowers, and the Kingdom of Soup to accompany him to drink and sing. If he spends a little more money, he can even order "a famous woman from a certain country."

Sing while touching! Sing while hugging!

According to the tradition since ancient times, ninjas are just subordinates of the daimyo. No matter how high their status in the village is, they are still subordinates of the daimyo!

But now, as long as you spend money, you can hug the daimyo's concubine and sing...

The desire of the lower class to overthrow the superior directly dominated Gonbei's mind.

It also made him bold enough to secretly increase the medical expenses by 10 million taels.

Yes.

The medical expenses mentioned by Gojo Kezuki and Mei Terumi were just the starting point for the gradual increase, a mere 30 million ryo.

Mei Terumi had her own desire for revenge, and when she told Gonbei the amount, it became 50 million ryo.

Gonbei had his own life, and when he told the great elder Yuanshi, the amount became 60 million taels.

Quan Bingwei folded his hands in front of his abdomen, almost stopped breathing, and seemed to be secretly glancing at Yuan Shi.

I have to admit that there is an element of risk involved. If the Master announces a thorough investigation, contacts Danzo, and then has Danzo return to the village to verify... or simply replaces a representative, this matter may be exposed.

If you deceive the Master and take kickbacks from Kirigakure, your clan will be exterminated. Your clan will definitely be exterminated!

But Gonbei simply couldn't resist the blissful experience he had enjoyed in Konoha.

long silence.

The master finally spoke: "Yakura... must be saved, no matter how much money is spent. This is related to the development of our village in the next five years, and we must not waver."

“But this money cannot be spent from the village treasury.”

"what do you mean……?"

"In a moment, you will convey my will to the representatives of the elders, explaining that the treatment of the Fourth Hokage concerns the future of our village."

"If they remain unmoved... then we can bring up the matter of Kumogakure exchange students and use the quota as a bargaining chip. Those who are willing to pay, and those who pay more, can be sent to Kumogakure as exchange students from the ninja school."
