Minato just pulled his friend Uchiha Chen to get ready to sleep.
Uchiha Chen Although I say I don't want it, my body is still very honest. After all, he likes to be passive.
At this time, Tsunade and Orochimaru continued to discuss the issue of war in the large tent at the station.
"Sakumo don't need any more reinforcements there? The sequelae of his secret technique are still quite serious." Tsunade was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter."
"You know Sakumo's strength. He is enough to deal with various problems." Orochimaru said lightly.
Speaking of Hatake Sakumo, even a proud person like Orochimaru respects him very much. He has enough confidence in the opponent's strength.
"That's right. The people who supported him this time were the elites of each family." Tsunade nodded.
"If Third Hokage Old Man hadn't reinforced so many ninjas, we wouldn't have been able to mobilize ninjas to support him." Tsunade smiled.
"If these families didn't reach an agreement, why would they send troops to support them?" Orochimaru said disdainfully.
Orochimaru It is not unreasonable to say this. The war has been going on for more than a year, but now Land of Rain's war situation is at a stalemate.
The reason is that Konoha is not monolithic. Ninja War It is not a trivial matter. Which ninjas are sent to the battlefield and which ninjas stay behind Konoha are both very important issues.
Civilian Ninja Fortunately, the family ninja is very troublesome. Deployment of how many people each family sends is always a thorny issue.
Some families have few members and want to preserve their strength and do not want to send so many ninjas out. Some families want to send a large number of troops to gain meritorious service on the battlefield.
After all, once you accumulate enough meritorious deeds, you can easily be molded into a hero of Konoha with a little publicity in the village.
If you want to compete for Fourth Hokage in the future, then these things can easily be converted into political capital.
But some senior executives may not want to see this happen.
So since there is a dispute, let's just let the battlefield remain stalemate. Anyway, the village is strong enough to afford it, but other villages can't afford it.
It was because of this mentality that the battle dragged on. This kind of nastiness can be found in almost every village, and Orochimaru has long been used to it.
"Third Hokage Old Man is not easy either..." Tsunade's explanation was a bit weak.
"They don't think they can defeat other villages with these Civilian Ninja, right?" Orochimaru said sarcastically.
Tsunade patted his head helplessly, always feeling that his teammate was developing in the direction of an angry youth.
"But now that this group of ninjas have come to support us, as long as we maintain this stalemate attitude and nibble away one by one, Land of Rain's war should be over soon." Tsunade changed the topic.
"But the other party won't give us a chance to encroach." Orochimaru shook his head.
"Iwagakure is obviously getting anxious now, and even Jinchuriki has been sent out. Do you think the other party will continue to fight with us?"
"But Four-Tails Jinchuriki has been stopped by Sakumo." Tsunade frowned.
"Iwa-nin doesn't have Four-Tails Jinchuriki, there are Hidden Sand Village and Hanzō." Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with his golden eyes.
"You mean the other party will unite Suna Ninja and Hanzō?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
After saying this, she shook her head again, "It's impossible, the Suna ninja has already started to retreat."
"Let's not mention that Land of Wind's current treasury is not sufficient. Third Kazekage vowed before the war that they would occupy Land of Rain for three months. Now they don't even have a cent, so they can only retreat." Tsunade analyzed the situation in front of them.
Orochimaru shook his head, "But according to the news just sent back from Jiraiya, Hidden Sand Village suddenly showed up with a large amount of supplies."
Tsunade took a deep breath, "How is this possible? The food they came for?"
Orochimaru said expressionlessly, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I can only think of one place that can provide this food."
"Where?"
"Land of Fire." Orochimaru said word by word.
"Hey, are you sure?" Tsunade stood up, and the bench was brought down by her.
Orochimaru nodded, "That's enough material to support a village. I can only think that Land of Fire can do it."
Orochimaru continued to analyze, "If it was really Land of Fire who sold it, then there are two situations.
First, Land of Fire's chamber of commerce contacted Land of Wind's ninjas without telling Daimyo, and secretly sold their country's food to them at high prices. "
"Although there are risks in this kind of thing, if the benefits are high enough, it may not be impossible to take risks."
"Of course this is just a possibility, if there is another possibility..." Orochimaru carefully considered his words.
"Since most of Land of Fire's chambers of commerce are controlled by Daimyo's Capital, then the mastermind behind this matter may be Daimyo of Land of Fire."
"... Are you serious?"
Even with Tsunade's ability to escape, Orochimaru's speculation is still unacceptable.
Our country's Daimyo openly funded enemy ninjas during the war. If this was revealed, it would make people laugh to death, and Land of Fire's reputation would plummet. And what would these ninjas on the battlefield think?
In comparison, Tsunade is more inclined to believe in the former possibility. It is Land of Fire's chamber of commerce that secretly funds Land of Wind's Sunagakure in exchange for huge rewards.
"Seriously." Orochimaru nodded without any intention of joking, "Honestly, I prefer to believe in the second possibility."
"Land of Wind is barren all year round and is located in Desert. In terms of material output, it is at the bottom, even worse than Land of Earth. It is impossible to engage in a long-term war with a resource-rich country like Land of Fire."
"Okay, okay." Tsunade didn't understand what Orochimaru meant, so he nodded and asked his doubts again, "In that case, what kind of benefits can Land of Fire get? Is it to strengthen the opponent's strength for no reason and embarrass the ninjas of this country?"
"After all, a ninja is just a knife in the hands of Daimyo. As the supreme ruler of a country, it is impossible for Daimyo to think about everything from the perspective of a ninja, because he is just an ordinary person who controls the country."
"For ordinary people, no matter how sharp the knife is, it is not a particularly important thing. Only profit is the most important."
"To put it bluntly, isn't war still for profit? Now that there is an opportunity to make war fortune, who would care about the lives of ninjas."
"By the way, do you have any evidence?" Tsuna Teuchi asked Orochimaru.
"No." Orochimaru replied confidently, "Why should I guess if there is evidence?"
"So, what are you going to do?" Tsunade calmed down and sat down again.
"Do nothing. Let's settle the score after Land of Rain's war is over."
Yes, Tsunade sighed, the most important thing in front of him was the decisive battle of Land of Rain.
But suddenly she felt tired. I don't know if this feeling of exhaustion is because of the village or Land of Fire.
Maybe after this war is over, we can go on a casual trip to other countries?
Tsunade stood up while thinking. Sighs also came out.
