Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Monzaemon's core plan is to try to use Hanzo as a lure to arouse Iwagakure's desire for aggression, causing some trouble for Konoha in a short period of time, and then extract Sunagakure from the unfavorable consequences of defeat.

War is an extension of politics, and this has not changed since ancient times. Although Sunagakure Village suffered a tragic defeat this time, it does not mean that Monzaemon intends to bow his head in front of Konoha.

Yes, they suffered a defeat, or even died directly from a drought, and then what? According to the process of the last Ninja War, the losing side will pay a large amount of war compensation, and at the same time, its status in the Ninja world will be damaged, and its mission share and other aspects will be reduced.

The above factors can be said to be crucial to the development of Ninja Village, so Monzaemon is going to stir up trouble everywhere, wait until Konoha is completely in chaos, and then drive away tigers and devour wolves.

In this case, Konoha will inevitably be trapped in the quagmire of war for many years when invaded by the three parties of Amegakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, and they, Sunagakure, can make some fuss in the process.

Although Sunagakure's current situation obviously means that he is unable to participate in the gluttonous feast during Konoha's civil strife, but if he chooses to sign a peace agreement with Konoha at that time, Konoha will definitely not be willing to stay with Sunagakure for a long time due to internal and external pressure. The possibility of continuing to struggle, relaxing the conditions, and dealing with these group of defeated people leniently is very high.

In other words, Monzaemon's fundamental purpose is to gain as much initiative as possible for Sunagakure at the future negotiation table. To put it simply, it is to stop losses.

After finishing all their plans, Monzaemon and Chiyo also ran to the junction of the Kawa Country and the Wind Country, and completed the rendezvous with several Sunagakure jounin waiting here.

Entering the familiar desert, everyone walked in silence on the way back to Sunagakure Village. Chiyo thought for a long time before fully understanding Monzaemon's plan.

And this also made her unconsciously feel disappointed. "After this defeat, the village will probably fall into a period of dormancy for a long time."

Turning his gaze slightly to Monzaemon's old face with a melancholy look on it, Chiyo's emotions were complicated and difficult to understand, and she felt a little unbearable.

Her teacher is over seventy years old this year. He should have withdrawn from the ninja world disputes and lived in his old age long ago, but because of the incident in the village, he had to come back to use his remaining talents. Even now, he is still thinking about Sunagakure's future.

Chiyo felt a dull pain in his head just thinking about the plans that Monzaemon himself had just spoken about. How much effort would it take for Monzaemon to think them out and put them into practical action?

"If this continues, the teacher may not have a few more years to live. It seems that the candidate for the Fourth Kazekage must be determined as soon as possible, for the sake of Sunagakure's plan, and to share the teacher's worries." Thinking of this, I thought Chiyo was quite hesitant for the two successors that the Third Kazekage had been training, obviously not knowing how to choose.

Although she is more optimistic about Luo Sha, and Luo Sha is not only stronger than Ye Cang now, but his magnetic escape ability to produce placer gold is also one of the most important financial incomes of Shayin Village. But after all, Ye Cang is the daughter of Drought, a real orphan of a martyr, and her personal abilities and prestige in the village are not weaker than Luo Sha's.

The third Kazekage was seriously injured and might even burp at any time. This also resulted in the fact that the power to appoint the next Kazekage at this moment was truly in Chiyo's hands. After all, she was the elder of the Sunagakure group. The great elder. Whether it is Monzaemon or Kazeashi, they are essentially similar to Sunagakure's guest advisors. Except for Sunagakure being in a life-or-death situation, they usually do not participate in any work in Sunagakure Village, that is to say, they do not hold power.

In fact, at their age, not to mention how much energy they still have to manage Sunagakure Village, their mentality has already become extremely dull. It is not an exaggeration to say that they hate being involved in the power system. Because of this, Chiyo knew that even if she raised her problem to Monzaemon, her teacher would probably not be willing to give any advice.

Because this not only involves personnel changes, but also is related to Monzaemon's character. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Whoever he chooses will inevitably hurt the other party. This kind of thing will offend others and make herself uncomfortable. Her teacher is sure I don't want to mix it up.

Therefore, she had to come up with this idea herself.

"Let's go back and discuss it with Ebizo and Spider. I hope they can give a reliable opinion." After finishing her thoughts, Chiyo adjusted her mentality and hurriedly followed Monzaemon, causing the latter to glance at her inadvertently. After one glance, he sighed slightly in his heart, "Grow up as soon as possible, Chiyo. I don't have much time left. Where Sunagakure's future will go depends on your choices."

In the Battle of Ishikawa Hill, Sunagakure's vitality was dealt a devastating blow. Monzaemon, Chiyo, including Rasa, Hayakura and others, all thought about Sunagakure's future future day and night. After a disaster, people's hearts always become extremely united, especially since there are not many ninjas in Sunagakure Village. All the power of the ninjas seems to be concentrated in one place, and there is rarely any internal fighting.

This also leads to the fact that although the position of the Fourth Kazekage is the focus of competition between Luo Sha and Ye Cang and the source of their conflicts, it is obvious that no one is willing to focus on fighting for power.

After all, compared with how to overcome the difficulties and deal with the subsequent truce negotiations with Konoha, all internal conflicts seem so insignificant. The enemy now has Sunagakure Village having to unite. The reason is that simple. At this point, even if one of Rasa and Ye Cang became the Kazekage tomorrow, the situation would not change.

However, compared to the passively united Sunagakure Village, Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village, which were in sync from beginning to end, Konoha, as the victor of the Sunagakure War, was not so united internally.

"That is to say, the Third Wind Shadow was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and died of drought, right?" A low tone sounded, which seemed to indicate the heaviness of the speaker's heart.

The voice of the answerer also seemed a little haggard, "Yes, just yesterday afternoon, the Third Kazekage was seriously injured by Shirataki in full view of the public, and Drought also died in the subsequent battle. This news came from Nara Shikaji , which can guarantee 100% accuracy.”

In the smoke-filled Central Army Camp of the Kingdom of Rain, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly took off the Hokage hat he was wearing, and then placed it on the desk in front of him, speechless for a long time.

On a chair opposite, Mito Kado also took off his glasses, raised his hand and rubbed his tired eyelids, then closed his eyes and advised, "Hiruzen, we can no longer hesitate, we must find a way to control it as soon as possible." Shirataki, then take measures against Danzo, otherwise this will continue."

Before Mito Kadoyan could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to interrupt him. He picked up his pipe and took a deep puff, then while puffing out the smoke he said, "Duanzo, you can slow down for a while. He can't make any waves, but Bai Taki."

Hearing the powerlessness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Mito Kado's face darkened, and he suddenly opened his eyes, looking sharply at the opposite side, "Hiruzen, it's not that we don't have the strength to clean up Uzumaki Shirataki, as long as you able"

Perhaps he had heard this too many times. Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hands impatiently again, and his tone became much harsher, "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, teaming up with that guy Ohnoki to attack Shirataki's troops? Men Yan! If you do this, What’s the difference with Danzo?”

Realizing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was really angry, Mito Kadoen immediately closed his mouth, but from the look on his face, it was obvious that he felt unconvinced, as if he was silently Blame the other person for being too indecisive.

However, facing the vague disapproval in Mito Kadoyan's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not change the subject as usual this time, but directly scolded him coldly, "I am the Hokage and the leader of Konoha. For I can't do this kind of thing by joining forces with the enemy to harm the village's ninjas for selfish reasons!"

"Also! Men Yan, the little trick you did at the border last time was Hanzo the Sansho Fish, wasn't it you who let him into the Land of Fire? Don't think I didn't notice it!"

Perhaps he was really irritated by Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude. Mito Kaden didn't hide it at all this time. He stood up straight with a huff and yelled at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "What time is it now, Hiruzen? You actually said such things to me! That guy Shirataki’s reputation is getting louder and louder in the village, have you noticed this?”

After saying that, Mito Kaden took two deep breaths and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen until he saw the latter's face filled with sadness before he continued, "Hiruzen, the current situation is very clear. I don’t want you to act like a woman again. If you don’t suppress Shirataki’s momentum, we will be the ones to dismount!”

"Also, I think you should be able to realize that the rebellion led by Danzo is about to break out. It is by no means a trivial matter, but a real crisis related to our life and death! If the position of Uzumaki Shirataki is not clear yet You and I"

"In the worst case scenario, the enemy's strength includes but is not limited to thousands of regular army ninjas, nine tails, roots, a small number of ANBU, as well as those powerful ninja clans. It does not even exclude those representing the Senju clan. Tsunade might also be involved!"

"Because of your repeated indulgence in Danzo, he has become the most important thing. Most importantly, he doesn't care about you, the Hokage! Believe it or not. If you dare to classify Danzo as a traitor today, he will dare to lead him tomorrow. Come and kill us all?"

At this moment, perhaps Mito Kadoen's words were too explicit. In order to hide his inner emotions, Sarutobi Hiruzen unconsciously smoked his pipe at the table, but he did not even notice the ashes falling on his knees.

"I will not join forces with other villages. This is the bottom line." He first gave such a conclusion. Seeing that Mitomonitis seemed to be about to attack again, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer hesitated and quickly expressed his thoughts to "his group." Don’t you just want to be Hokage? If it doesn’t work out, can I abdicate in favor of Mr. Xian?”

"After so many years of war, I really don't want to see the ninjas in the village rushing to death one after another, especially dying in such a meaningless power struggle." At this point, Sarutobi said Hiruzen's expression was extremely depressed. He picked up the pipe and took two more puffs. His face seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and his back was also a little rickety unconsciously.

I realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have given in. Therefore, even though the other person was extremely sad and sad at the moment, Mito Kadoen had no intention of letting him go. After sneering for a while, Mito Kadoen looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a sarcastic face, and said bluntly, "Do you really think that taking a step back will open up the world? You are so naive, Hiruzen!"
