Konoha's Destiny Twins

After a few days, Qingshui met Orochimaru again. The two did not exchange too many pleasantries, but went directly to the topic.

After a brief discussion, he understood what Kumogakure was thinking when he asked him those questions before. It turned out that they wanted to encourage Konoha to send troops to attack Kirigakure, and it would be best if both sides suffered losses. If they also won at the same time, they could also get a share of the pie.

As for letting Yunyin fight them, who knows if they will run away directly.

So after hitting a wall with Orochimaru before, they tried to recover the losses through diplomatic channels. However, because Konoha and Kirigakure had already set the tone of a strategic alliance, not only Konoha officials made unintentional inquiries, but also Kirigakure officials, who understood the situation, were equally waffling.

Just when Kumogakure was desperate, a senior Konoha official gave them a signal - "If you have any questions about Kirigakure, please contact Yuki Shimizu."

It was only because Yunyin believed this rumor that he came to check out Qing Shui's story.

As for the person who deliberately leaked the news...

"Is it Danzo?" Qing Shui asked in a low voice.

Orochimaru nodded at first, and then shook his head: "He just hinted at Kumogakure and didn't say much. If you let it slip, maybe we can still ask for help."

"But now you simply refuse, then it'll be fine."

Orochimaru is trying to turn a big deal into a trivial matter.

Obviously he has more important things to do in his heart, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy on these things that put each other in the shoes.

However, in Qing Shui's heart, he made another note for Danzo.

The days are long and these accounts will have to be settled sooner or later.

"Wait a minute, if Kumogakure and the others are staying in Konoha like this, wouldn't I still be unable to go out in an official capacity?"

"I'm afraid that Kumogakure will stay in Kokonoha in the short term..." Orochimaru was so smart that he immediately thought of what Shimizu wanted to do, because Konoha helped Kirigakure's Yagura win the fourth generation Mizukage. position, this matter was mentioned in the previous secret agreement between the two parties, "Yiyuejun, are you going to Kirigakure Village?"

Originally, Shimizu planned to persuade Orochimaru to send a Konoha delegation to Kirigakure for a friendly visit after returning to the village. Of course, the main purpose was to help Yagura win the position of the Fourth Mizukage.

But if Kumogakure is always in the middle, how can he get out through official channels?

You must know that in the original work, Akatsuki did not have the power to compete with Yagura for the position of the Fourth Mizukage, and subsequent intelligence showed that Akatsuki supported the elite ninja, and the opponent was the Jinchūriki of the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros, Yu Gao.

Then can Yagura still successfully obtain the position of the Fourth Mizukage as in the original work?

Qing Shui expressed concern.

Since we can't be clear about it... we can only play dirty.

The position of the Fourth Mizukage must be taken by Yagura, no matter what means.

"Orochimaru, I want to ask you to borrow two people." Qingshui said the two names without waiting for Orochimaru to ask, "Kakashi and Shisui."

"You can just find them a mission and go out in the name of ANBU. Konoha officials will not show up at the ceremony of their Yondaime Mizukage this time."

"No matter who is finally elected as the Fourth Mizukage, everything is Kirigakure's internal affairs."

The Hokage sends ANBU out to perform secret missions, many of them every day, so just mixing two people among these field ninjas is not a problem at all.

"Row."

Orochimaru is still reliable at critical moments...

"Then when do you plan to let them set off?" Orochimaru asked.

"tonight."

"Then I will take time to arrange tasks for them in the afternoon."

"Okay, I will come forward and explain to them when the time comes." Qing Shui breathed out lightly, so he only had to wait until night to collude with the two boys.

Even if the position of the Fourth Mizukage is decided like this.

Just at this time, the examiner announced the end of Konoha's 48-year chunin exam, and the cheers were deafening.

As a series of chunin lists were announced, Shimizu saw many familiar figures: Morino Ihiki, Mitarai Anko, Ebisu, Kai and so on.

There were even Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yuugao. These two brats who had just graduated not long ago actually passed the Chunin exam and were directly promoted to become Chunin.

"These two juniors are really good at swordsmanship. They have just graduated from the ninja school and have mastered Konoha-style swordsmanship - Dance of the Three Crescent Moon at a young age." The speaker was Baiyun Yeshan, a veteran elite jounin in Konoha, who can escape the vacuum with wind. The sword is superb.

"Senior Baiyun is just a talent."

Someone laughed.

"Let's just accept these two juniors as disciples." Qing Shui suggested.

Baiyun Yeshan suddenly looked over.

Qing Shui smiled back.

Hayate and Yugao are ninjas who are good at swordsmanship, so it is indeed appropriate for Baiyun Yeshan to be their master.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere in Konoha, the fourth generation Kazekage and the third generation Tsuchikage looked serious.After all, Konoha Hikari has nearly forty genin promoted to chunin this time, while on the other hand, there are very few people promoted to chunin from Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

The battle at Platycodon Mountain was really too traumatic for them.

After the Chunin Examination was successfully concluded, Konoha took the Sunagakure and Iwagakure envoys, as well as Kumogakure and the others on a "travel around Konoha" trip. However, this kind of cumbersome diplomatic etiquette was in Qingshui's eyes. But it is extremely stupid behavior.

If a battle breaks out again with any of the three of them in the future, wouldn't they be able to carry out an extremely detailed destruction plan for your Konoha architectural layout?

But there is no way, the old men and women in Konoha are keen on this.

They sincerely hope to use this opportunity of the Chunin Exam to show their full sincerity, and then finally realize the "Alliance of the Four Ninja Villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure" headed by Konoha, in order to seek a long-term future. of stability.

Of course, these four parties had already drafted the framework of the agreement before Qingshui arrived, which means that ideologically, everyone has already reached a consensus, and all that remains is to reach a balance in some details.

When negotiating with Yunyin, it is specific to what and how many techniques the other party will give, as well as some detailed trade terms.

Here Konoha gave in to the requirements of the technique, but in contrast, Kumogakure had to pay more in other places.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure wanted to return the young ninjas they lost in the Battle of Mount Kikyo. Konoha chose to return some young ninjas to show sincerity, and the price the two major ninja villages had to pay was naturally in terms of economy and trade. Give in on.

As for the number of ninjas to be returned, when they will be returned, and what the economic and trade benefits will be, these are all things that they need to finalize after a long period of repeated consultations.

At first, Qingshui thought that this kind of deal to restore the other party's vitality was another bad idea of ​​those bad old men. However, when he learned that this was a deal that Orochimaru was pushing hard, he vaguely realized what Orochimaru wanted to do.

Because if all these projects are really achieved, Konoha can receive financial assistance from the four major ninja villages at the same time in a very short period of time, and become the first ninja village among the five major ninja villages to achieve economic recovery, plus the subsequent four ninja villages. With the concessions made by the Great Ninja Village on trade, it is foreseeable that Konoha's economy will experience explosive prosperity in the next few years, and the surplus finances can train or even recruit more ninjas.

Finally, there is the series of policies that Orochimaru has promulgated now. He uses the opportunity of the Chuunin Exam to show the real and powerful side of Konoha, a ninja village, to the entire Fire Nation. At the same time, he high-profilely promotes the preferential treatment of becoming a Konoha ninja. This is obviously It was a move prepared in advance to attract a large number of outsiders to move into Konoha Village.

This ambitious strategist wants to expand his army.

He decided to bet the future of Konoha on the rapid development in the next few years to realize his grand plan.

However, this plan also contains huge risks. If it fails, Konoha may even face the possibility of being dismembered.

He is betting, he is racing against time...

Qingshui realized that Orochimaru's lifespan might be worse than he expected, which made him take the risk and choose this almost desperate plan.
