Konoha's Approval System

On the border of the Kingdom of Wind, in a dense forest.

Kushina stood on the trunk of the big tree and looked around. The dense forest extended here and stopped abruptly. In front of her eyes was the endless exposed desert next door, which was already the territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Kushina's red hair was blown. She felt a bit cold. When she raised her head, she saw a sky covered with dark clouds.

"It's going to rain soon." Kushina looked at the lead-colored clouds and whispered.

She has been wandering the border for a week in pursuit of the truth about the attacker.Two days ago, she found another trail of blood, a winding trail that led her to the border.

The experienced Kushina could easily see through the poor cover-up made by the enemy, but she still wanted to explore the truth of the matter and who was causing the trouble.Years of living in Konoha have made her, an orphan from the Country of Whirlpool, tightly tied to Konoha.

Following the blood trail, Kushina came to an abandoned sand fortress. A few meters away from the fortress, she smelled the strong smell of blood.It didn't take much to think that there must be corpses in the fortress.

Sure enough, after turning the corner, Kushina saw the bodies lying scattered on the ground.Judging from the clothing and forehead protectors, those killed were a small group of Sunagakure ninjas.

Kushina was about to lean down and check the injuries on the body. In an instant, several afterimages flashed and fell beside her in an instant.

"Don't move, who are you?" came a thick male voice.

Kushina looked up and saw three Sunagakure ninjas standing opposite her.

The young man named Maki caught a glimpse of the corpse of a ninja from the same village on the ground, and his eyes were filled with hostility. He immediately ordered his team members: "She is the enemy, prepare to fight."

The three Sunagakure ninjas immediately prepared for battle, each took out their weapons and stared at the woman in front of them.

Seeing this, Kushina quickly waved her hands and said: "You misunderstood, I did not kill the person."

At this time, a figure flashed in the woods, attracting Kushina's attention. She moved and quickly chased after him.

Sunagakure's team members wanted to catch up, but captain Maki suddenly stopped them and said silently: "Don't chase her, we are no match for her, I recognize her, she is Konoha's jinchūriki."

Kushina stared closely at the fast-moving figure in front of her, feeling surprised in her heart.Judging from the figure, she was just a little girl, no older than ten years old.It's a little too fast for a kid this age.

With his strength as a Jonin, during the half-hour long chase, the distance between him and the little girl became wider and wider, and he finally disappeared deep into the boundless jungle, and was never traced again.

Stopping, Kushina relied on her intuition to judge that there was something similar to herself in the body of the little girl who ran away.

"She is also a Jinchuuriki" Kushina said with determination in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Kushina's mind suddenly became clear. From the information she knew in the past, there were only a handful of ninjas who could become tailed beast jinchūriki. Almost as soon as they appeared, they could tell which village they came from.

"It's Kumogakure again."

Kushina murmured quietly, looking back on everything before, she suddenly moved her brows, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"No, such information must be reported to Hokage-sama." Without any further stop, Kushina used all her strength to fly towards the direction of Konoha Village.

As night fell, the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, almost making people breathless.

The lights were brightly lit in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiretsu handed the investigation scroll to the Third Hokage and left with a teleportation technique.After Rilie left, Sandai held the scroll in his hand and glanced at the three colleagues on the advisory board sitting opposite.

"Everyone already knows the information. It is an indisputable fact that the Kingdom of Thunder is obstructing it and trying to provoke a dispute between Sunagakure and Konoha. I hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully, so I will send envoys separately. Between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder, as the envoy, I want to choose among the top officials."

"We are still allies who have signed a contract with the Kingdom of Thunder. I didn't expect them to do such a thing." After sleeping, Koharu narrowed his eyes and said: "However, for Sunagakure, such misunderstandings must be explained first. It’s good to be clear, after all, things haven’t been peaceful there recently.”

Mito Kadoyan nodded and interjected: "I can do it for you in the Kingdom of Wind. I have long wanted to meet their names. As for the important task of meeting the Raikage, I think it is up to Hiruzen to negotiate in person. More suitable."

The third generation tacitly agreed.

Danzo, who had been silent at this time, snorted: "You are still so naive. Kumogakure's purpose is very clear. It is to take advantage of Sunagakure's internal strife to trigger a war in the shinobi world, and then profit from it. What happened in the last war , have you all forgotten that the Rain Ninja Village suddenly provoked a war between us and Sunagakure, and the Konoha ninjas suffered heavy casualties?"

The air in the room suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that he had overwhelmed everyone in terms of momentum, Danzo continued: "The information I collected is that it is not just us who have encountered such provocation. There are also several small countries on the border of the Land of Earth, such as the Country of Bears and the Country of Rivers. , the same situation occurred, which means that the Ninja World War is about to begin, and this time we must strike first."

Everyone understands that the disappearance of the third Kazekage and the chaotic Wind Country are like a big cake on the bright side, which is bound to cause contention and chaos in the ninja world.

The remaining four major countries, and even the small countries sandwiched in the middle of the big countries, are all trying to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the cake.

Therefore, the ninja world is bound to be in chaos, and no one can predict the extent of the chaos.The third generation wanted to resolve disputes in a peaceful way in order to prevent Konoha from being involved in disorderly chaos.

He looked up at Danzo and remained silent.

Danzo continued: "Compared to the Earth Kingdom, which operated secretly, the Thunder Kingdom, which did not get a share of the pie in the last war, adhered to a tough style and could not bear the loneliness first, taking the lead to take action, causing other countries to The fight between them, I took advantage of it, just to make up for the regrets of the Second Ninja War."

"This kind of method of taking advantage of others is common in every war. It's no surprise." Mito Kadoyan echoed.

"Hiruzhan, why don't you reflect on the mistake you made last time?" Danzo, who was gradually gaining power, stared at the third generation.

After returning to bed, the eyes of Koharu and Mito Kadoyan also fell on the third generation, waiting for his final decision.

The third generation sighed and turned to look at Danzo: "According to your wishes, what should we do?"

Seeing the change in Sandai's attitude, Danzo stood up: "What we have to do is to reorganize our armaments, send out troops, and then declare war."

The third generation also stood up at this time and confronted Danzo tit for tat: "I am not opposed to rectifying armaments and sending out troops, but Konoha will never be the first to declare war.
