I don't believe in the will of fire

Minato hadn't slept well all night since they separated last night.

He had been thinking about one thing all night, and that was how to make a choice when the interests of the village and family ties conflicted.

And all these problems arise in the trade cooperation between the Country of Fire and the Country of Whirlpool.

If at the beginning, this kind of trade cooperation indeed brought countless benefits to the two countries and two villages, then as the trade progressed, both the people of the Fire Country and the people of Konoha discovered that

A very serious problem.

That is the Kingdom of Uzumaki, or Uzumaki City, which began to invade and influence the existence of the Kingdom of Fire through various invisible methods.

The most obvious feature is that in the past ten years, the population of the Country of Fire has begun to lose a lot, and it can be said that almost all of these lost people have gone to the Country of Whirlpool.

In fact, such rumors are beginning to appear not only in the Country of Fire, but also in the other five major countries, and even in various small countries.

"It can be said that there is gold everywhere in the Kingdom of Whirlpool. As long as you are willing to bend down, you can pick up gold."

Although such rumors are exaggerated, they do attract many people.

Not to mention those small countries, ordinary people who have not yet recovered from the war, even those poor people in the five major countries who can only rely on farming to support themselves, are easily attracted by this sentence and leave their homes to go to the Country of Whirlpool.

Make a living.

And the Country of Whirlpool did not disappoint these people. The prosperity and open attitude of the country and cities dazzled these men and women who came from small rural areas, and they did make a lot of money.

Although it is not as exaggerated as to be able to pick up gold by bending down, as long as you are a normal person with hands and feet, you can find a job that suits you when you go to the Country of Whirlpool, and you may not be able to make money at home in your lifetime.

money.

And when these first batch of people who went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool made money and returned home in fine clothes, they were seen by others, which influenced a new group of people to go to the Kingdom of Whirlpool to work.

In this way, batches of people went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool under such influence.

And when these people got used to the luxurious living environment and colorful world like Uzumaki City in the Country of Uzumaki, no one wanted to go back to the countryside, that barren place. Instead, they took their wives and children directly to the Uzumaki City.

settled in the country.

In the past ten years, due to the rapid development of population, the total population of Uzumaki City has increased nearly a hundred times, reaching a million people, which is almost half of the total population of the five great ninja villages.

This is a very scary thing.

Moreover, this problem not only occurs between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Whirlpool, but also between the Kingdom of Wind. The geographical environment of the Kingdom of Wind is even more incomparable to that of the Kingdom of Fire, and the population loss is even more serious. As for the other three great ninjas,

Villages also have considerable population loss limits.

But at the beginning, both the Fire Country and the Wind Country were blinded by the huge profits earned from trade between the two sides and did not discover the problem. By the time they discovered something was wrong, it was already too late.

Now, in the Country of Wind, Minato cannot confirm, but in the Country of Fire, Konoha has begun to consider terminating the cooperation with Uzushio City in the Country of Uzumaki, and uniting with other villages to suppress and blockade Uzushio City.

Minato can be sure that what Shenyue said to him today was definitely meant to let him know.

The purpose is also very obvious, that is to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger.

It seems that Uzumaki City will use Kirigakure Village to show the five major countries and the five major ninja villages the power they have hidden in the past ten years.

Now we want to know what the result will be...

If Uzumaki City wins, then the five major ninja villages will probably become the six major ninja villages, and the five major countries will also become the six major nations. But if Uzumaki City fails...

Will Uzumaki City fail?

Minato would not think so at all, because just from today's contact with Shenyue, he found that he could no longer sense Shenyue's strength at all.

Just ten years ago, Shenyue was able to defeat and kill the Third Hokage. Now ten years have passed, and with the growth rate of Shenyue's power, I am afraid that it is no longer a question of whether Uzumaki City can win, but how to win.

legal issues.

Not to mention, there is a completely obedient tailed beast in Uzumaki City...

If this continues, in the end, there will inevitably be a battle between the Land of Fire and the Land of Uzumaki, Konoha and Uzumaki City, and it will be a war that will affect the entire ninja world.

Thinking of this, Minato lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Just like that, after dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door, which made him slightly escape from his thoughts.

Opening the door of the hotel, what appeared in front of him was a person who was very familiar to him.

"ROPE TREE!!!"

Minato was a little surprised, looking at the young man in front of him who looked like the first Hokage between his eyebrows, he shouted in disbelief.

"It's me. Minato hasn't seen you for a long time. After I learned from Shenyue that you guys needed a guide, I volunteered to come here. You won't dislike me, right?"

"Of course not. Just wait a moment and I'll call my three disciples over to introduce you to them."

Minato was really happy. Compared to Shenyue, his relationship with Nashu was not bad at all, and Nashu didn't have the pressure that Shenyue had on him to be unattainable.

So he woke up the three disciples from their sleep and introduced them happily.

"Let me introduce you to each other. This is my good friend, teacher, and the grandson of our first Hokage. Lord Tsunade's younger brother, Senju Nawaki. These three are my disciples. This is Kakashi, and this is Sakumo-senpai.

The children, this is Obito, a child of the Uchiha clan, and this is Lin, a child who is very good at medical ninjutsu, they are both very talented."

"Yeah, I can see it."

The rope tree smiled at the three children. The three children were a little surprised when they listened to the teacher's introduction to the rope tree.

"The grandson of the First Hokage and the disciple of Lord Tsunade, if that's the case, why?"

Obito asked subconsciously.

Minato looked embarrassed for a moment, but Naoki waved his hand indifferently.

"You are still young, but you will know when you grow up. My task today is to act as a guide and take you around. All the expenses are covered by me..."

"oh!!!"

The three children were all excited instantly.

————————

And inside the Whirlpool Shadow Tower, everyone was gathered together at this moment.

Shenyue swept over their faces one by one, and finally stopped at Hongzhou and asked him.

"How are the preparations going?"

"Don't worry, Lord Shenyue."

Although ten years have passed, time has not left any traces on him.

"Newspapers, TV stations and various propaganda methods are ready. In the next week, the entire ninja world will know about the evil deeds of Kirigakure Village."

"Um."

Shenyue nodded, he had always been very confident about Hongzhou's work.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yahiko and Konan who had grown into teenagers.

"Although I really hope that Kirigakure Village can realize their own mistakes, it seems unlikely, so I will leave the next thing to you. This time, Nao Shu and I will not take action, so it can be said that

I gave you a test, how was it, and were there any problems?"

Yahiko and Konan looked at each other, and Yahiko asked a little embarrassedly.

"Um, are it just the two of us?"

"Except for May, all the eight tailed beasts will be left to you."

"Hey, that's no problem!"
