Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Therefore, suppressing his anger, Monzaemon gritted his teeth and tried to maintain a calm tone, trying to bargain, "Hanzo, judging from your previous contributions, you don't seem to be able to earn that much remuneration, right? Just for the attack. I've checked Konoha's supply lines several times. Do you think this kind of thing is worth a billion taels of gold?"

Hearing the number one billion, and thinking of the value of the gold that was stolen by Shirataki, Hanzo felt a dull pain in his heart. He frowned and asked, "Going deep into the heart of the Fire Country and traveling thousands of miles, why is it not worth this?" Price?"

"Don't forget how much risk I took for this. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shirataki are dispatched at the same time to block my retreat, even I don't think I have the slightest chance of surviving."

Hanzo said with full confidence, and a hint of fear appeared on his face at the right time, but this only attracted a series of sneers from Monzaemon, "Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shirataki are dispatched at the same time, do you think this is possible? Let's not talk about either of them. Hokage, one is the commander on one side, let’s talk about their relationship.”

Giving Hanzo a fierce look, Monzaemon snorted, "Hanzo, no one is a fool. I advise you to put away your greedy face as soon as possible to avoid an ugly death in the future."

"Now the situation in the ninja world is gradually becoming clearer. After the ninja war is over, there will be a war within Konoha. Instead of arguing with us Sunagakure here, you might as well take this opportunity to go to the Land of Fire to make a fortune."

Automatically ignoring the taunts in front of Monzaemon, Hanzo focused on the other person's last words, frowning and thinking for a while. The Fire Country's resources are naturally extremely abundant, and after the conflict between Konoha's doves and hawks broke out, they obviously had no time to care about other things, so it seems that this matter is going to happen?

However, perhaps sensing that Monzaemon's suggestion seemed somewhat malicious, Hanzo did not rush to give a reply, but softened his expression and said, "Your proposal seems good, but I still need to go back and try again." Think about it."

"Let's do it, three hundred million." He stretched out his palm and pointed his open fingers at Monzaemon. Hanzo said in a slightly more sincere manner than before, "It's not easy for you Sunagakure now, and after all, everyone is the same." As allies, as long as you are willing to pay these three hundred million taels of gold, the friendship between Yuyin Village and Sand Hidden Village will last forever."

Sensing Hanzo's expression at this moment, which seemed to be a little moved by his previous proposal, Monzaemon thought about it and pretended to sigh and replied, "These one billion taels of gold were supposed to be yours, Amegakure's participation in this war." , the reward for helping us defeat Konoha, and the attack on the supply line is essentially just an added bonus. But since Hanzo you have said it to this extent, then 300 million is just 300 million. As you said, Amegakure. Friendship is really important to us now."

The matter was settled, and in the following time, both parties pretended to shake hands. Then Monzaemon took the lead to leave, and his back gradually disappeared from Hanzo's eyes.

Hanzo did not leave, but quietly waited for Monzaemon to leave completely, then turned around again, looked at the Ishikawa Hill battlefield, and murmured softly, "I want to drag our Amegakure into the quagmire of war again." , share the pressure from Konoha with you, Monzaemon, just go ahead and dream."

"The Country of Fire seems to be a piece of fat. If you eat it, it will be okay if the Konoha Dove Faction wins, but if the Konoha Eagle Faction wins, there is a chance that Amegakure will lose one of his teeth due to this piece of fat. ”

"At times like this, movement is worse than silence. When the war between the two factions in Konoha is over, I may have to consider changing my position. I just don't know what role Uzumaki Shirataki will play in this civil war."

By observing the second ninja war that lasted for more than three years, Hanzo has noticed the fact that the strength gap between Konoha and other great ninja villages is that Konoha is worthy of being the overlord of the ninja world, and it can actually win with one Even with two enemies, they are still standing tall. They have even destroyed Sunagakure Village and are about to force Iwagakure Village back.

The strong strength shown by Konoha forced Hanzo to reconsider Amegakure's future stance. Although there was hatred between each other, hatred was based on interests and was nothing in the face of life and death. If the Konoha Hawks win, then based on Danzo's consistent behavior over the years, Hanzo can even guess what the other party will do after he takes over.

At this time, Hanzo was unwilling to let Yuyin Village take a trip into this muddy water, but the geographical location of the Country of Rain was there after all. How difficult was it to remain neutral all the time? Therefore, choosing another ally and decisively kicking away trash like Sunagakure Iwagakure became a backup option in Hanzo's mind, but "we have to wait a little longer until the situation in Konoha is completely clear, otherwise"

Staring at the battlefield of Ishikawa Hill below, his eyes slowly swept across the basin blasted out by the Tailed Beast Jade. Hanzo let out a breath of tiredness and whispered to himself, "I, the Hidden Rain Village, including the Land of Rain, It is very likely that they will fall into passivity, or even go to destruction. "The sorrow of the small country is vividly reflected in Hanzo at this time. When dealing with the relationship with the big country, he must do his best.

Every step is like thin ice. If you make the wrong move, you may be heading into an abyss. As for the shameless request for 300 million taels of gold from Sunagakure just now, it was just that Hanzo returned home after seeing Sunagakure defeated, and saw that there would be no problem if he stepped on Sunagakure, so he made the decision to open his mouth.

After all, Amegakure also wanted to develop, and the gold reserves had been wiped out by Shirataki in the past few years. Therefore, in the past two years, all Amegakure had to tighten their belts. Since Sunagakure has come to his door, Hanzo doesn't mind doing some private work. Anyway, now that Shirataki has won, he shouldn't settle the accounts with Yugakure after learning the truth, right?

To be honest, in the face of Shirataki, who had severely damaged Kazekage, Killed Drought, and Sea Snake, Hanzo had no idea of ​​competing with him at this time. Keeping Yugakure safe is his only persistence at the moment. As for Sunagakure and Monzaemon, their friendship? Sorry, among the greater interests and even more critical choices, these things are not within the scope of Hanzo's consideration at all.

"Yes, this is politics." Running in the wilderness, Monzaemon faced him, and Chiyo, who had just joined him, explained, "Hanzo's sky-high asking price did not exceed my expectations, but it is actually It’s worth it. After all, gold is not valuable to us. With Luo Sha here, we can get as much of these things as we want.”

Hearing this, Chiyo looked at his teacher in confusion and subconsciously asked, "In that case, teacher, why don't you meet Hanzo's request?"

Shaking his head, Monzaemon sighed softly. He couldn't help but feel worried about Chiyo's naivety. He could only continue to explain patiently, "We know that gold is not valuable, but does Hanzo know that?"

"You should have heard about the current situation in Yuyin Village. If it's only 300 million taels of gold, it won't make their situation much better, but one billion taels is different."

"Satisfying Hanzo's request all at once and handing him all the one billion taels of gold will only allow him to quickly make up for the financial gap in Yuyin Village. At that time, if you still want to use money to impress him like now, you will definitely not It’s not that easy anymore.”

Monzaemon's purpose is obvious, which is to use gold to whet Hanzo's appetite, so that this ally who is not very firm can maintain a minimum friendly relationship with Sunagakure, and can help at critical moments.

This is undoubtedly a hugely profitable deal for Sunagakure, who is currently in a difficult situation. After all, they have secured a powerful shadow-level master and a large-scale shinobi village without actually paying any price.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chiyo gradually understood Monzaemon's thinking. At that moment, he couldn't help but look at Monzaemon with admiration, and sincerely praised, "Teacher, you are still thoughtful."

Regarding Chiyo's praise, Monzaemon was not happy at all. The expression on his face was deep sadness, which also made his next words full of pessimism. "It's a pity that after this battle, I won't be able to do it for now." Speaking of the losses we suffered this time, let’s talk about Hanzo. That guy seems to have become much less courageous. It’s hard to say whether he will act according to my plan.”

Perhaps it was Monzaemon's expression at this moment that made Chiyo secretly feel distressed, so she frowned and began to frantically consume her brain cells, trying to figure out the reason and relieve the teacher's worries.

Then, the two ran in silence for a while. It was not until two or three minutes passed that Chiyo seemed to understand something and quickly said a sentence from his mouth: "Teacher, do you want Hanzo to come forward to attract Konoha's attention?" We share the stress of defeat?"

After a slight pause in his steps, Monzaemon instantly turned his head to look at Chiyo, his expression revealing a sense of expectation, as if he was encouraging the latter to continue. It's a pity that Ren Qianyo's face turned red next, but he couldn't hold it in.

Seeing this, Monzaemon may also know that he has acted too hastily. After all, Chiyo is only in his forties, and it is obvious that he cannot compare with him in terms of life experience and political wisdom.

Simply, he stopped embarrassing Chiyo and explained directly, "You can see that this level has indeed made great progress compared to the past, but this is not the main reason why I encouraged Hanzo to invade the Land of Fire."

As he spoke, Monzaemon turned around and looked at the night sky. After pondering for a moment, he whispered, "Now the war is about to end. Although Konoha is the victor, although Iwagakure seems to be willing to accept the result of defeat." , take the initiative to make concessions and make peace come.”

"But." After a pause, seeing Chiyo listening attentively, Monzaemon slowly exhaled a long breath, "I think that with only one fuse, the war will probably restart, for example, the two factions in Konoha dispute."

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo fight, I believe there will be someone who wants to invade the Land of Fire, such as Ōnoki and Kumogakure's Yozuki Ai."

"But after all, Iwagakure has just been defeated, and Kumogakure has been standing still. It's hard to say whether they will really dare to put their ideas into practical action."

"So, at this time, a guy with enough weight needs to take the lead, set an example for Iwagakure Kumogakure, and then take the initiative to arouse the greed of Ohnoki and Yeyue Ai."

"As for this candidate, it seems that only Sanshouyu Hanzo is the most suitable candidate at present."

After talking for a long time, he noticed that Chiyo's expression was a little thoughtful, as if he had some understanding. Monzaemon looked at Chiyo with relief for a while, put on an expression of "you can teach me", and then said the last sentence Complete supplement "If the Fire Country becomes chaotic, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to us Sunagakure, because it means that Konoha will no longer have much energy to pay attention to us defeated ones."
