Red sand dust

Before encountering Uchiha Obito again, Uchiha Sasuke thought he would be unable to control his emotions and take revenge regardless.

As a result, after meeting each other face to face, it was not as exciting as previously expected.

It's not that the hatred has been resolved, or that the resentment against Uchiha Obito is not strong enough, but that after more than three years of hard training, he successfully backfired Orochimaru, and successfully killed Uchiha Itachi, and there was a huge gap between thinking that his revenge was successful. , which has greatly relieved many years of depression. If it were not for obtaining the inside information from Uchiha Obito, I am afraid that it would be inevitable to feel empty and clueless about having a great revenge.

Now, after experiencing many provocations and a series of messy intelligence bombings, the somewhat tired Uchiha Sasuke, while continuing on the road of revenge, also began to think about how to live his life in the future.

From the perspective of Daimaru, who was hiding behind the scenes, and Koyamabuki, who had several close interactions, this was not without reason.

Uchiha Sasuke's so-called revenge focuses on Uchiha Itachi. To a large extent, it is not for the Uchiha family, but because his brother killed his father Uchiha Fugaku and his mother Uchiha Mikoto.

The so-called family is a broader sense of honor and blood group identity. It may not be able to make most Uchiha people risk everything to defend it. Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi are in the family and Konoha. When the village had to choose between the two, it chose the latter.

As for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, they even went against their family for personal grudges and paranoia.

It can be seen that family is only a broad concept. The revenge that Uchiha Sasuke cares about most is still limited to the family level. As for family, that is what needs to be considered next.

Enemies are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Obito also bear the greatest resentment now, but the sense of urgency of killing Uchiha Itachi and then quickly is still a bit different from the previous years.

For Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke would not hesitate to defect from Konoha Village and risk his life to follow Orochimaru, but if it were Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Sasuke might not be willing to give up his ties to Konoha Village.

Even Kito Suigetsu and Jugo were worried that the two people who met unexpectedly would fight. As a result, Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a while and then said calmly:

"The so-called friendship between us doesn't exist. I'm not familiar with you! As for the so-called help, it's just a transaction where everyone gets what he needs..."

"so what?"

Uchiha Obito didn't take it seriously and asked frivolously,

"Want to join forces?"

The arrogance revealed behind the Uzumaki mask can be felt from the tone even if the expression cannot be seen.

Sasuke Uchiha, who is also a member of the Uchiha tribe, is not a good-tempered person. He smiled coldly:

"Joining forces is also a cooperation between two parties with equal strength. Do you...do you have the qualifications now? Don't think that if you know a little bit of time and space ninjutsu, others can't do anything to you. You are just a clown who dares not meet others..."

"Huh? Considering my strength and position, do you question my ability..."

Obito Uchiha, who looked like he had a headache and sounded embarrassed in his tone, thought for a while and said,

"If that's the case, I won't force you. Just let me see what you're capable of. It's good to gain some experience!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Obito used his divine power and disappeared with Zetsu.

After the annoying people were driven away, it was time for the "Snake" team to attack.

"Sasuke, do you really want to go?"

Ghost Light Suigetsu was a little scared. The Five Shadows and their guards were a powerful force, strong enough to penetrate a great ninja village.

There are almost no beings in the ninja world who can stop them from the front, and they can only rely on the tactics of crowds to kill them.

There are limits to relying on human lives.

The Kingdom of Iron is not unprepared. There are nearly 2,000 elite warriors scattered around. If the whole country is mobilized, it is possible to pull out nearly 10,000 fully armed armored soldiers.

The combat effectiveness may not be reliable, but they can form a military formation and attack together, which is a quite terrifying force.

Our top team is at a disadvantage, and with only three people, there is no possibility of victory no matter how hard you think about it.

It's no wonder that Suigetsu is anxious. Uchiha Sasuke is indeed very powerful, but he is not powerful enough to ravage the Five Shadows at will. The other two members of the "Snake" team are far behind.

But Sasuke Uchiha, a brave and talented artist, has no intention of giving up.

"There are advantages to having fewer people. The target is small and difficult to detect! We are not here to challenge the five major ninja villages head-on, but to kill Shimura Danzo..."

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"Yes...probably!"

Uchiha Sasuke is also a little unsure. Is killing a village of shadows really a mortal enemy? Orochimaru killed the third generation of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Konoha Village did not mobilize the entire village to pursue him.

The Kazekage Yondaime was assassinated, and the Sand Ninja was not too obsessed with revenge.

As for other more examples, there are many more.

An individual ninja cannot represent the entire ninja village, even as a "shadow".

But...it's hard to tell!

In just three or four years, Konoha Village has had three or four Hokage changes, which is not pleasant to say. People who are not familiar with the inside story would think that the overlord of the ninja world is now dead, and that even the village chief cannot be saved?

…

After resting for a long time, it was already dark.

After eating the dinner carefully prepared by the Iron Kingdom, the Five Shadows Conference finally restarted.

This time, things were much more pragmatic than during the day. There were still angry accusations, but not to the extent that they affected negotiations and bargaining.

The focus of the debate is not whether to form a ninja alliance, but who should command it.

Judging from the comparison of the strength of each village, those who can compete for the commander's position are the Hokage and Raikage. If Tsunade still comes to participate in the Five Kage Conference, it is estimated that Raikage and Alai will be the commander-in-chief.

However, Danzo Shimura, who is more experienced now, is present. He is a living fossil who has fought from the first ninja war to the present. In terms of rich experience, he is second only to Onoki. The Fourth Raikage is just a child in front of him. .

The five major ninja villages formed a coalition. The most troublesome thing was that the two strongest leaders refused to obey the other.

In terms of strength, the two sides have no direct combat experience, so it is difficult to judge; in terms of Ninja Village's strength and background, Konoha Village is slightly better, but Kumogakure Village is not shy; in terms of supporters, the sinister Shimura Danzo and The headstrong Raikage are all half-hearted, and not many people like them.

"I support Naruto!"

Gaara was the first to express his stance and fulfilled his responsibility as an ally. Immediately afterwards, Terumi Mizukage, who was semi-free from the core, also chose to support Shimura Danzo.

The remaining Tsuchikage Sandaime Onoki, after hesitating for a moment, chose to side with Konoha Village.

The four-tailed Jinchuuriki and Lao Zi are still taking refuge in Konoha Village, and the five-tailed King Mu is still counting on Konoha ninjas to help him recover him. If he doesn't support it at this time, how can he expect to get the two tailed beasts back in the future?

"you……"

Raikage was so angry that he punched the table with both fists and vented his emotions. He also understood that the other four ninja villages had reached an agreement and it would be useless no matter how dissatisfied he was.

Therefore, the supreme commander of the Ninja Alliance made this decision. The proud Sixth Generation of Hokage nominated Ai, the Fourth Raikage, as the Chief of General Staff, which was regarded as a step down; the captain who led the front line of the Ninja Alliance was also appointed. It is logical to assign it to Gaara, the Kazekage Fifth Daime, a reliable ally.

The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, got the commanding position of the daimyo's escort team. This is also a good job. The daimyo and many big nobles will definitely not be the focus of the enemy's attack. Compared with the most fierce front-line ninja army, it will undoubtedly be easier. too much.

As for the Tsuchikage Sandaime Onoki, he simply did not assign the main duties directly. It was decided for him anyway, and he might not listen to it if he relies on his elders. He would just adapt to the situation when the time comes.

After solving this biggest trouble, the next step is the specific mobilization, transfer, reorganization, selection of cadres, etc. of the Ninja Army, which can only be finally confirmed after the negotiation below, so there is no rush.

However, one thing must be made clear first. If the five major ninja villages join forces and lose, naturally everything will stop. Although the possibility is unlikely, we must prepare for a rainy day; if we win, how will the tailed beasts be distributed after the war and the "Akatsuki" organization be divided up? The legacy, and what to do with the Rain Country, is a thorny issue.

"The distribution of tailed beasts will still be carried out according to the previous model. However, each ninja village must ensure that one tailed beast will be under the control of the 'Relief Team' for at least two months every year to serve as a service 'membership fee'. If it does not 'serve', Then the fine will be paid based on the half-year operating expenses of the current 'Quick Rescue Team'!"

As soon as Danzo Shimura finished speaking, Onoki, the third generation of the Tsuchikage, became serious, and the hot-tempered Raikage questioned directly:

"Is it necessary to go to such trouble?"

"This is also done to reduce the possibility of the major ninja villages sending tailed beasts and jinchuriki to the battlefield! At the beginning, our Konohagakure allocated tailed beasts in this way to balance the forces of all parties and use tailed beasts and jinchuriki as strategic deterrents. ! But now, the Jinchuuriki have taken to the battlefield again and again, causing huge casualties. This has almost become a conventional weapon, which is contrary to the original intention..."

This rule is detrimental to Taki Ninja Village, Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village, which only have one tailed beast.

In Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure villages, even if one tailed beast is sent to serve, there will still be one tailed beast, and the others will not work. If you don't want the only tailed beast or jinchūriki to be monitored, you basically have to be obedient. Money's share!

The Konohagakure family has a big business and can sustain it. Sunagakure Village has also been on the rise recently. Yi Ran is not afraid, but Taki Ninja Village is in a bit of trouble.

"There is no problem in Sand Hidden Village, it's just..."

Gaara thought for a while and then said,

"This also involves Taki Ren. Isn't it bad to make decisions when the person involved is not around?"

Danzo Shimura waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"Just inform them afterwards. It would be good if they can retain their qualification to hold tailed beasts. Look at how the Taki Ninja Village has declined. How can it still have the momentum to become the sixth largest Ninja Village?"

No one present felt inappropriate about what the Hokage said, and in the end, they decided happily.

The legacy of the victory over the "Akatsuki" organization was determined to be a post-war pension fund, mainly used for charity.

As for the disposal of the Rain Country, at the suggestion of Danzo Shimura, the Sixth Generation of Hokage, it was left to the locals to decide on their own.

Although the Kingdom of Rain is important, it is also very poor. If it were taken over without any worries and huge manpower and material resources were invested in its construction, it would be a geomantic treasure. But now everyone is staring at it, and there is obviously no room for moving around. Instead of taking it with it, It is too hot to handle, so it is better to continue to serve as a buffer zone between major powers.

From the perspective of other ninja villages, the purpose of Konoha Village is to continue to indirectly dominate the Land of Rain through the relationship between Konan and others and Jiraiya, as well as the fact that Amegakure Village has always been an ally of Konoha Village.

Anyway, it’s no different from before, and no one is too entangled in this field.

It was the first time for Haruno Sakura to hear so many inside stories about the ninja world on such an occasion. It was really eye-opening for Haruno Sakura. She imagined that the five shadows were sitting together, talking loudly, discussing in a gentle manner, and deciding on the future of the ninja world. It turned out to be all fake. of.

The atmosphere of the real Five Shadows Conference was so solemn that it made people breathless. The "Five Shadows" who were usually full of majesty turned out to be like hawkers in the vegetable market, bargaining and arguing until their faces turned red.

As for the selected guards, they are always ready for a fight.

The moon is rising above the willows, and after the main affairs of the day have been dealt with, everyone returns to their hotel rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle over the budget, organization and strategic direction of the "Relief Team" and "Sniper Team" .

"Actually...none of the past Five Shadow Conferences has been as lengthy as today..."

In the reception room of the suite, Kurama Yakumo, who was taking a tea break, smiled and said to Haruno Sakura, who breathed a sigh of relief,

"Because there are a lot more things to discuss, the importance of the two transnational organizations is becoming more and more known to everyone. If they don't fight for it, they will be snatched away by other villages. They will break away from the mainstream of the ninja world and be squeezed out by other ninja villages. United It would be bad to target..."

In the past, there were no rules and everyone didn't know how to play. They had to adopt a strategy of respecting strength and have a ninja war at every turn. But that doesn't work anymore.

The traditional Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja teamed up to fight against the north-south confrontation formed by the alliance between Konohagakure and Sunagakure Village. There seemed to be some changes. The two jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village were killed and one was injured. Onoki was unable to support himself alone. He did not even have the ability to take revenge and could only rely on hope. I hope that justice will be done to the "Rescue Team" and "Sniper Team" who are the main players in Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village.

Therefore, the Iwa Ninja's position was deflected, Xiao Shi and Yun Ninja fought, and Da Shi and Yun Ninja joined forces to fight against Konoha Village.

Haruno Sakura happily responded:

"Naruto, that guy keeps saying he wants to be the Hokage. It's really hard to imagine what he would be like in this situation. Can he handle it?"

Kurama Yakumo chuckled and said:

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? For you, killing Uchiha Sasuke without mercy is a success. At least there is room for change now..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered a sharp whistle outside. It was the alarm after the Iron Country's alert was triggered. Uninvited guests came to the Five Shadows Conference to disrupt the situation.
