To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

The Third Raikage wanted to solve the problem of the tailed beasts once and for all, but the result was not satisfactory. He thought about the slow reconstruction of the village ravaged by the Eight-Tailed Beast. It was originally a surprise attack, but now it was at a stalemate and the supply of materials could not keep up.

The most important thing is that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is somewhat dissatisfied. The materials have been spent without any results, which is equivalent to a waste of money.

The Third Raikage sighed, glanced in the direction of the Fire Nation, and had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

The stalemate on the northern battlefield ended.

As for the Land of Whirlpools, the Village of Clouds directly stabbed the Village of Mist in the back, robbed a wave of supplies from the Village of Mist, and then ferryed back to the Land of Lightning.

This made Kirigakure very angry, and they cursed Kumogakure for being unethical and even stabbing him in the back. Although their short-lived alliance was already fragile, Kirigakure also wanted to stab Kumogakure in the back after the mission was over.

As a result, Yunyin took the lead and stabbed them, which made Wuyin furious and regretted not taking action first.

After the Kumogakure withdrew, only the Kirigakure was left to face Konoha and the Uzumaki clan. They were unable to cope with the situation alone and had a hard time resisting. In the end, they had no choice but to return to the Water Kingdom in disgrace.

The mission failed, nothing was gained, and many soldiers were lost. This made the Kirigakure clan laugh at the Third Mizukage and the fight between them and the Mizukage became more intense.

The only winner in this war is the Fire Nation.

The crisis of the Uzumaki clan has been resolved, but as long as the tailed beast Jinchuriki system exists, the Uzumaki clan will be at risk.

After much deliberation, the Daimyo of the Uzumaki Country and the chief of the Uzumaki clan directly submitted a letter of credence to the Fire Country and became a vassal state of the Fire Country.

The Konoha Ninja can openly send ninjas to be stationed in the Land of Whirlpools.

Hatake Sakumo left half of the ninjas behind, and he took the remaining half back to the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Fire Nation and Konoha won the battle, gained vassal states and the Uzumaki clan.

"Sakumo-senpai, no news from Nagato?"

Walking out of the Hokage's office, Hatake Sakumo saw Uchiha Shigeka waiting for him.

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo sighed, shook his head and said, "No, I don't know what method the enemy used, and I don't have any clues. I'm sorry, Shigeka, we didn't find the missing children."

Hatake Sakumo still doesn't know which enemy force kidnapped the children of the Uzumaki clan. They rescued a child, but the child later disappeared.

They still don't know how they disappeared.

This matter eventually became an unsolved case.

......

Chapter 54: War on the Fire Nation!

"Master Hanzo, our supplies are... running low."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Salamander Hanzo tapped lightly on the table, and the clear tapping sound echoed in the quiet room.

The Rain Ninja's throat rolled and his expression was nervous.

After a long time, Hanzo stopped hammering, his eyes narrowed, his voice dry, he shook his head and said: "Even if we have enough supplies, we can't defeat Sunagakure."

After all, it is the military force of the five major countries, and the number and strength of ninjas are much stronger than that of Yugakure.

If it weren't for the fact that Hanzo's poison made the Sand Village difficult to deal with, the Sand Village would have plowed the Rain Country long ago.

"Hehe, Sunagakure is really determined. He hasn't given up after such a long time."

Salamander Hanzo's eyes showed sarcasm.

Up to now, it is no longer a matter of hiring the Daimyo of the Iron Country. The Daimyo of the Iron Country was not satisfied with that hiring mission, so the commission was halved.

The Sunagakure people are not happy about this, but they will not confront the daimyo, so they will instead invade the Rain Country to make up for the other half of the commission loss.

This was the original purpose, but after fighting for several years, the Sand Village now only wants to defeat Salamander Hanzo.

The Sand Village has a military force at the level of the five major countries, but it couldn't defeat a small country like the Rain Country and couldn't defeat Hanzo of the Salamander. It was such a loss of face.

Today, the Sand Village has become a joke in the eyes of other major countries and is severely ridiculed.

The Sand Village has suffered humiliation, and everyone in the village is filled with anger, determined to wash away the ridicule and defeat the Rain Village!

"The poison of the salamander won't last long. The Sand Village is getting closer and closer to here."

The old puppet woman studied it for several years and finally figured out some tricks.

Although the poison of the salamander cannot be completely eliminated, it can provide a certain degree of resistance. Given time, the puppet old woman will definitely be able to break the poison of the salamander!

If the poison of the salamander is completely neutralized and the last trace of barrier disappears, it is self-evident what will happen next.

The poison of the salamander is becoming less effective, and now the supplies looted from the Iron Country are almost scarce, and the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village have also lost one-third...

Salamander Hanzo frowned, the situation became more critical.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Tell them to get ready. We are going to attack the Fire Nation."

The subordinate looked up in surprise.

"Master Hanzo, please think twice. There are already Sand Village and Konoha in the Land of Rain..."

The Daimyo of the Rain Country will definitely be fine, but their Hidden Rain Village will definitely be doomed!

What does Lord Hanzo think when facing the wrath of the military forces of two great powers?

"Idiot." Salamander Hanzo snorted coldly. Doesn't this subordinate know how to use his brain?

Since he can't even see through such an obvious intention, I don't want him to be my subordinate anymore.

"When two tigers fight, there is room for us to survive."

Another subordinate seemed to be thinking about something. He understood and looked at Salamander Hanzo excitedly, receiving the other party's admiring gaze.

He became even more excited.

"Now that you know, go down and prepare. From now on, you will work beside me."

The subordinate who saw through the intention stood up and answered loudly: "Yes!"

"As for you, don't come here again."

"what?"

The subordinate who was labeled as an idiot looked confused.

......

Konoha year 34, spring.

Salamander Hanzo led the ninja troops to raid the Land of Fire. All the ninjas stationed on the border were poisoned to death by Salamander Hanzo. Now the defense was no longer there and the gate was wide open.

The Hidden Rain Ninja broke into the heart of the Land of Fire and carried out mass killings and looting, causing tragedy.

The Fire Country Daimyo was furious and quickly notified the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, with only one thing to say: Give me enough supplies and money, kill Hanzo of the Salamander, and destroy the Hidden Rain Village!

At the same time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire sent someone to question the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, wanting to ask what the little brother meant.

Then the information that came made the Fire Country Daimyo even angrier.

The Daimyo of the Rain Country was "forcibly protected"!

The ninja acted alone and started a war without the daimyo's consent!

This... destroys the unspoken rules between the daimyo and the ninja village.

The daimyo provides supplies, and the ninja village provides the manpower.

In essence, it is a larger concept of task hiring, the daimyo is the client and the ninja village is the employee.

By doing this, Hanzo Salamander is violating the employment contract and providing "compulsory protection" to the client.

According to the practice of the ninja village, this is an act that violates the ninja code and the person will be labeled as a traitor.

The way to deal with rebellious ninjas is to kill them without mercy! The same is true for countries and ninja villages!

"Hiruzen, the time has come when you need me."

Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was frowning and sneered in his heart.

Retire? He couldn't. There were many secret and dark jobs that only Shimura Danzo could do.

The leaves bathe in the sunlight, while the roots devour the darkness.

"Danzo, resume your previous position and lead the Root to the Rain Country as soon as possible to act at your convenience."

Sabotage, assassination, coordination, instigation, etc. in the Rain Country are all insidious tactics that are inconsistent with Konoha's apparent values.

Only Danzo Shimura can do the dirty work in this dark corner. With his expertise, he will do a good job.

"Hiruzen, I need the Uchiha people. Their illusions can help me carry out my operations better."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him, knowing the person he wanted, and said directly: "Except for Uchiha Shigeka, it's up to you."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly, stopped talking, and turned to reorganize the roots.

You are really good at protecting him, but once the war starts, how much can you protect Uchiha Shigeka?

......

"Sister, Konoha has declared war on Amegakure."

Ebizo came in and reported the news to his sister Chiyo.

There are a few wrinkles on Chiyo's face now, but she doesn't look as old as she did later.

Hearing what his brother Ebizo said, Chiyo was excited and laughed, "Let's go, we'll follow Yugakure and take advantage of the situation!"

"Sister, is this really okay?" Ebizo frowned: "This is equivalent to declaring war on Konoha."

Chiyo sneered: "It's because the daimyo is too stingy. We can only find food for ourselves."

"The resources of the Rain Country alone are not enough. Just in time, someone handed me a pillow when I was dozing off. Hanzo of the Salamander has taken action against the Fire Country."

"Brother, Hanzo of the Salamander wants to play a two-tiger fight. He will definitely try his best to make us fight against Sunagakure and Konoha."

"Since we're going to have to fight sooner or later, we might as well make some money from Konoha now."

Chiyo shook the glass bottle in her hand, and the liquid in it was crystal clear. It was the toxin of the salamander.

"The poison of the Salamander Hanzo is not easy to deal with. We all know this. The battle between Yugyakure and Konoha will not end so soon. Helping Yugyakure to share some of the pressure is also helping ourselves."

"Sister, we and Yuyin are still enemies."

"Not yet."

Hearing this, Ebizo sighed and said, "Sister, what did the Kazekage say?"

Chiyo threw a scroll directly to Ebizo. Ebizo took it in a panic, opened it, and was stunned.

"The poison of the salamander is difficult to deal with, but the poison of the Konoha ninja may not be."

Chiyo touched the scroll on her waist and said, "With scarce resources, the military has reached its limit. If we want to develop further, we can only expand."

"For the survival of the Sand Village, this battle must be fought!"

The scroll sent by the Third Kazekage showed that...

Declare war on the Fire Nation!

......

Chapter 55: So rich and inhumane!

"How about it, Tsunade, can the antidote we carry deal with the poison of the Salamander Hanzo?"

Hatake Sakumo looked to the side, and Tsunade frowned and shook her head.

"No, the poison of the Salamander Hanzo has never been seen before. It is a new and severe poison. All the antidotes that Konoha has now have no effect on it."

“This is difficult.”

Hatake Sakumo sighed and glanced at the Amegakure ninja troops led by Hanzo of the Salamander from a distance.

Although there are not many people, they make a lot of noise. The salamander is extremely poisonous and is really troublesome.

"If we don't solve the poison of Hanzo of the Salamander, we will be as helpless as Sunagakure."

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "Sakumo-senpai, close combat is not advisable. Let's fight at a long distance."

"The supplies provided by the daimyo are sufficient. We can use long-range equipment to attack on a large scale."

Jiraiya joined in with a laugh, "As many kunai shurikens as you can get, and as many detonating tags as possible, just throw them all out!"

The Land of Fire is rich in resources and is the richest and wealthiest country in the ninja world.

The resources that make other ninja villages stunned and astonished are nothing to the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Sand Village was struggling to control its puppets to move slowly in the poisonous gas, but Konoha was rich and powerful and could just spend money to attack them.
