The will of fire can't save the ninja world

Border of the Kingdom of Rain, Mist Town.

Inside the office hall transformed from a dilapidated theater.

Tsunade was bored playing with her fingernails, listening to the exchange of insinuations.

Just at noon today, Shimura Danzo suddenly appeared in Mist Town.

Afterwards, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya learned that the teacher's friend had gone to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Rain Country on behalf of the Daimyo of the Country of Fire.

After getting the results of the negotiation back, sure enough, the Daimyo of the Country of Rain declined the request of the Country of Fire to "borrow the road".

According to common sense, Danzo should return to the daimyo at this time to recover.

But he didn't.

Rather, he wanted to take overall command of the front line of the Kingdom of Rain.

The old man was shameless. As juniors, the three of them were not easy to fight against.

Although persuading the Daimyo of Rain Country failed, this has nothing to do with political wisdom, because anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is something that the Daimyo of Rain Country cannot agree to.

Unless the Fire Nation completely breaks its skin and threatens and annexes weak countries other than the five major nations, maybe the Rain Nation's famous names will resist on the surface and cooperate secretly.

The war had just begun, and the Fire Nation had not yet shown any aggressiveness, so they could understand Danzo's failure.

In fact, Tsunade suspected that this old guy was pretending to be negotiating with the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, but was actually using it as a pretense to come to the front line and seize frontline command.

War is always the best harvester of Vanity Fair.

If Danzo could command this battle and achieve a perfect victory, his reputation would skyrocket, and he would be able to step from the shadows to the front of the stage.

Maybe if you endure it a little longer, the next three generations will still be able to enjoy the addiction of being a Hokage when they retire.

Now Orochimaru was not good at explaining, and said softly: "Just wait a little longer. After the autumn, they won't borrow roads in winter, and we won't borrow food."

The root cause of this war is the problem of uneven development, and the Country of Rain is naturally the one that is not developing well.

Although they are supported by Sanshouyu Hanzo in terms of strength, they look like they are good, but geographical problems make their agriculture unable to meet the needs of the people.

At the same time, in terms of trade, because the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind are both large countries with poor development, the commerce that the Kingdom of Rain is now extremely dependent on is the trade list provided by the Kingdom of Fire.

It can be said that the economic lifeline of the Rain Country and the food exports on which it depends for survival are now in the hands of the Fire Country.

Now that the Fire Nation has chosen autumn to start the war, the Rain Nation's already poor agriculture will see even worse harvests this year due to the coming and going of ninjas from various countries.

In terms of trade, the great names of the Fire Country also started delaying tactics early on, dragging everything back to the Rain Country.

As long as they wait until winter, whether it is money or food issues, the Rain Country will have to seriously consider whether to lose face again and proactively ask the Fire Country for permission.

Tsunade frowned slightly, but didn't express any objection.

Behind Orochimaru's plan are the lives of countless people in the Land of Rain.

But from the perspective of the Fire Nation, this conspiracy is indeed the best solution to break the situation.

It's just that the time seems a bit delayed.

The outside world, such as the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Water, etc., will inevitably make some strange remarks about Konoha's "unfavorable response to a long war with a small country".

Jiraiya sighed at the side, watching Orochimaru hesitate to speak.

Seeing this, Tsunade shook her head slightly.

She knew Jiraiya too well.

If there hadn't been Danzo on the side who wanted to seize power, he would have had another debate with Orochimaru, saying something like "The lives of the people of the Land of Rain are also lives".

Jiraiya is a good ninja. Although he has a few flaws, he has justice and pride in his heart.

As a friend, as a companion is good.

But politics is really not suitable for him.

From the beginning to the end, Danzo didn't even look at Jiraiya. It can be seen that in Danzo's eyes, the biggest obstacles to this trip are only Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Danzo was wary of Orochimaru's skills. This guy had a cold temperament. It was said that he could not wield weapons with kindness, and Orochimaru was born to do this.

And to be afraid of Tsunade is to be afraid of her identity and temperament.

Tsunade is the only one who dares to flip the table in front of her at any time.

Danzo heard Orochimaru's opinion and nodded, this junior does have some tricks.

But still a bit immature...

The old god Danzo said: "The war is fought with force, and it is fought with financial resources. Dragging the Country of Rain, isn't it dragging the Country of Fire, dragging down our energy, material resources and financial resources of Konoha? This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible.

solve."

Orochimaru narrowed his purple eyes slightly and chuckled: "See what Danzo-senpai means, do you have a plan in mind?"

Danzo chuckled and thought to himself: "It feels nerve-wracking for us to be dragged along, let alone the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind? They are more anxious to take advantage of the road than we are, and they are more anxious to have a quick battle and use war to resolve internal affairs.

question."

Orochimaru's expression changed and his expression became serious.

Tsunade frowned, thinking of something as well.

Jiraiya asked in confusion: "Do you want to unite the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind to put pressure on the Kingdom of Rain?"

In this case, the chance of success is not high.

Danzo frowned when he heard this, and was too lazy to talk to Jiraiya, and continued: "The Suna Ninja is the one we can't afford to delay among the three countries. I have sent people to contact the Suna Ninja. As long as the Suna Ninja is not stupid, we will

You should know that joining forces with us first and then fighting is the best way. If they agree, that old man the Third Tsuchikage will also agree. When the three parties take action, the Rain Country will naturally open the door if it cannot bear the pressure.

.”

Orochimaru pondered, his expression solemn.

He felt pressure from Danzo.

Tsunade also had to take another look at Danzo.

This old guy is indeed an old fox who has experienced the first ninja war.

Judging from the current situation, Danzo's plan has a high probability of coming true.

This old guy, since he has this plan...

Sure enough, it was a lie to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, but it was true to come to the front line to seize power!

Jiraiya fell into inexplicable shock.

Join forces first, then fight?

This idea was beyond the imagination of a political novice like him.

He wanted to argue, but he looked around at Orochimaru and Tsunade's thoughtful expressions, sat down slumped, and said no more.

Danzo knew that the initiative was back in his hands. If nothing unexpected happened, the moment the Kingdom of Rain opened its gates, the frontline command would be in his hands.

In order to reduce the occurrence of unexpected situations, he also made many preparations.

However, he did not reveal the preparation plan immediately.

Because it involves sacrificing companions, it will touch too many naive people who are immersed in the will of fire thoughts, and they will not tolerate it.

Also because, with this preparation, he hid his selfish motives——

He did send a team to contact the Suna Ninja.

But, it's not a team.

One is true and is used to complete negotiations.

One is false and is used for planning and filling leaks.

The different missions of the two teams are:

If the former is delivered alive, it is considered a success.

The latter dies in the middle, so that it is convenient for the next operation!

…

Danzo did not stay long.

After the plan is submitted, just wait for the opportunity to turn around.

It’s only a few days, the front line can afford to wait.

Soon only Tsunade was left in the conference hall.

Tsunade frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

He stood up suddenly and went back to find the mission report that Kurama Qiyue had just sent.

C-level tasks usually don't disturb her.

But since it was sent by Uchiha Yuya and others, Tsunade still confirmed the authenticity and ordered people to jump in and move them to the logistics department. After preserving the record of combat achievements, Tsunade hurried over for the meeting.

As for the content, she only had time to glance at the mission level.

At this moment, she vaguely thought of seeing words such as "escort" and "intelligence" above.

"It's not Yu Ye and the others who are delivering the message to Suna Ninja, right?"

Tsunade frowned, he recognized Yuye's strength.

But strength does not represent position.

Yuya and the others have just graduated, and their professional titles are just genin!

Danzo actually handed over such an important task to three genin, and one more——

"Come here! Check this Watanabe's information!"

Following Tsunade's instructions, Watanabe's information was quickly presented to her.

Watanabe's information is all reliable, and there's nothing wrong with the person.

The problem is the job title: Chuunin.

Danzo asked a chuunin and three genin to complete a mission that was enough to open the country of rain???

Are you kidding?!

Tsunade squeezed the mission information in her hand.

"What is this old guy Danzo hiding?!"
