Hostile to the Uchiha? Don't regret relocating your entire clan!

Rasa said expressionlessly, "Kumakushi Village is too far from us. There's no need for Uchiha Yuzuru to go through all this trouble."

"If our village falls into chaos, the biggest beneficiary will be Konoha Village."

"So... I agree with your idea."

After hearing what Rasa said, Chiyo glanced at her younger brother again.

Ebizo immediately said, "I also agree with launching an attack on Konoha!"

Both Rasa and Ebizo knew perfectly well that Chiyo clearly wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate against Konoha.

After all, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law both died at the hands of Konoha.

Although Sakumo Hatake has now gone to Kumogakure, as Pakura said, Kumogakure still has Yuzuru Uchiha in charge.

Even if he really did it, he has to pretend he doesn't know anything about it.

Moreover, since the overthrow of the daimyo, Sunagakure has never been short of funds, and the strength and number of ninjas have greatly improved.

Now that Konoha is weak, we might as well seize the opportunity.

Only self-interest is the only eternal and unchanging truth.

"Alright!" Chiyo slammed her hand on the table. "Then it's settled. Go and make your preparations."

"We, the Hidden Sand Village, declare war on the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Chapter 103 Is he really a genius?

Hokage's office.

Danzo Shimura pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Hiruzen, what do you want with me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and said with a smile, "Guess."

"..." Shimura Danzo's lips twitched. He really couldn't understand what was wrong with his old teammate today.

Ever since the Uchiha clan left Konoha, the other party has always looked worried and fearful, constantly afraid that the Hidden Cloud Village will suddenly attack.

Why do you look so happy today?

"Hiruzen, don't look at me like that, it's giving me the creeps."

Seeing Shimura Danzo's resistant expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and tossed an intelligence scroll onto his desk.

"Danzo, our spies in Sunagakure have reported that after the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure went missing, the Third Raikage took advantage of the chaos to attack Sunagakure."

As Shimura Danzo examined the contents of the scroll, he asked, "And then?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table and emphasized, "The Hidden Cloud Village took advantage of the chaos to loot, and the Hidden Sand Village must be very unhappy about it."

"With the Third Kazekage missing, the people of Sunagakure must be in a state of panic right now."

"As long as we extend an olive branch, Sunagakure will be eternally grateful to us."

"With our two countries forming an alliance, we won't have to worry about those guys from Kumogakure like we used to."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo frowned: "Hiruzen, the olive branch you mentioned..."

"It's just about giving Sunagakure some money or resources," Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly. "Sunagakure is so poor, they'll definitely agree to our conditions."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea, Danzo Shimura felt a slight ache in his chest.

He never forgot about the Hokage position, and one of the most important reasons for this was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He felt that if he became Hokage, he would definitely be better than someone like Hiruzen who was always throwing money away.

Tobirama-sensei, you're so confused!

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo's face darkened, and he said, "Hiruzen, can't you be a little tougher?"

Upon hearing his words, Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted inwardly.

Danzo is too stupid; he doesn't understand his brilliance at all.

Why fight to the death over something that can be solved with a little money?

As long as there's no fighting, no one can find out his true colors.

Just like the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, those two brothers were powerful enough, but in people's hearts, the strongest Hokage is Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The reasoning behind this is self-evident.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts were racing, an ANBU member suddenly appeared in the office.

"Lord Hokage, here's the latest information."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the intelligence from the Anbu and glanced at it casually.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo was puzzled and asked curiously, "Hiruzen, what's wrong?"

"These...these...these bastards...this is outrageous!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Lord Hokage!"

The ANBU member exclaimed in surprise and was about to step forward when Shimura Danzo stopped him: "You go first, I'll stay here."

The Anbu dared not disobey Danzo Shimura's orders and could only leave.

After he left, Danzo Shimura leisurely picked up the scroll on his desk.

The contents of the scroll are very simple.

[Sunagakure declares war on Konoha; the front lines are in dire need of assistance! Requesting reinforcements!]

After reading it, Danzo Shimura understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry.

He was still thinking about forming an alliance with them, but instead of going after the troublemakers, they turned around and bullied him...

This isn't just a matter of saving face; it's like someone is shitting on your head!

After a while of lost in thought, Danzo Shimura finally placed his finger in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned ashen, and he slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi across the face.

How the hell can you live so long?!

The Sand Village and the Leaf Village still went to war.

However, both sides tacitly chose the Land of Rain as the location for their battle.

On the Sunagakure side, led by Chiyo, Rasa, and Pakura, they continuously launched attacks on Konoha's defenses.

Konoha Village was passively defended by Orochimaru, Hyuga Hizashi, and the Ino-Shika-Cho ninja clans.

Overall, Konoha Village still holds the advantage.

However, the Sand Village, having nothing to lose, fears no one. After suffering defeats on the battlefield, they retreat to the desert, recuperate for a period of time, and then launch another attack on Konoha.

After a while, the Sand Village and the Leaf Village reached a stalemate.

Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, A, Tsuchikage, Hatake Sakumo, and the others and said in a deep voice, "The war between Sunagakure and Konoha has been deadlocked for some time. I think now is the best time for us to enter the fray."

"As long as we take action, the current stalemate will definitely be broken!"

Upon hearing this, Ai immediately nodded and said, "I agree with Father's idea. With Sunagakure holding us back, Konoha Village cannot be our opponent."

Tsuchidai, Hatake Sakumo, and others had no objections to this.

Seeing that his ideas were accepted by everyone, the Third Raikage excitedly looked at Uchiha Yuzuru: "Yuzuru, what do you think?"

"If we defeat Konoha, we can extort another large sum of compensation."

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Uchiha Yuzuru laughed and said, "You guys are a bit too impatient. We've only just gotten to the point."

“As long as we don’t take action, Sunagakure won’t be able to do anything to Konoha. Iwagakure and Kirigakure will definitely join forces to deal with Konoha.”

“And we…” Uchiha Yuzuru took out a kunai and an explosive tag and placed them on the table.

"We can make a fortune simply by selling all sorts of ninja tools."

"Our Land of Lightning is rich in various mineral resources, so this is a business with no cost."

"The longer the war lasts, the more money we make."

"Moreover..." Uchiha Yuzuru laughed, "When four ninja villages are fighting each other, their respective strengths will gradually weaken."

"When that time comes, we will launch an attack on Konoha and firmly grasp the fruits of victory!"

After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's idea, everyone present was stunned.

Even strategists like Tsuchidai and Azabu Makoto were stunned by Uchiha Yuzuru's idea.

In the first two Shinobi World Wars, everyone rushed in to fight in a swarm.

You hit me today, I'll hit you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll attack Konoha together...

Everyone was focused on plundering the money and resources of other villages, but no one ever thought about selling war equipment to other villages.

Is he really a genius?!

After thinking for a long time, Tu Tai suddenly noticed a loophole.

He asked Uchiha Yuzuru, "Lord Yuzuru, if things really develop as you say, your decision is indeed very good."

"But what if Iwagakure and Kirigakure don't participate in the war? Even if they do, they might not buy our products."

Putting aside everything else, Onoki from Iwagakure is no pushover.

Right now, Kumogakure is the strongest village. If they don't make a move, other ninja villages probably won't be foolish enough to give them money.

Chapter 104 This time, it's your turn to smile for me.

Upon hearing Tsuchikage's question, the Third Raikage and the others immediately looked at Uchiha Yuzuru.

Although what Uchiha Yuzuru just said sounded pretty good, just like Tsuchida said, would the people in other villages really be that stupid?

Knowing that their Hidden Cloud Village is the strongest, will they still continue to fight amongst themselves?

Not to mention buying ninja tools like shuriken and explosive tags from them...

The Third Raikage felt that even with his intelligence, he couldn't have done something like that.

Despite the questioning looks from the crowd, Uchiha Yuzuru's expression remained unchanged, his face still beaming with confidence.

After organizing his thoughts, he slowly began to speak: "It's very simple to resolve your concerns."

"If they don't attack Konoha, then we'll attack them."

"If they don't buy our ninja tools, we'll still beat them up."

"Whether to unite and seize Konoha, which has fertile land and abundant resources, or to go to war with the strongest ninja village in the current ninja world, I think this is not a difficult decision to make."

Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curled up slightly.

The most sophisticated strategy in the world is to make others know your thoughts, but still have no choice but to walk into the trap you've set.

Upon hearing Yuzuru Uchiha's explanation, everyone present was once again stunned.

Good grief, is this some kind of forced sale?

But it sounds like there's absolutely no problem.

Compared to uniting together to seize Konoha, who would be willing to go to war with Kumogakure?

After all, only a few years had passed since the Allied Shinobi Forces attacked Kumogakure.

The Third Raikage patted Yuzuru Uchiha's shoulder forcefully and said in a deep voice, "Yuzuru, I'm increasingly glad that I made the choice to keep you here at all costs."

"Otherwise, if I become enemies with someone like you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

After hearing the Third Raikage's words, Tsuchida, A, Makoto, and the others nodded in agreement.

Even setting aside Uchiha Yuzuru's strength, the intelligence he displayed was already terrifying.

Beneath this guy's cheerful and handsome exterior lies an extremely cunning and filthy heart!

A moment later, the Third Raikage made the decision: "Then let's do as Yuzuru says and focus all our efforts on creating ninja tools!"
