" Lord Hokage, the envoy from Amegakure has arrived. Would you like to meet him?"
Nara Luyuan pushed open the door and came in, asking Uchiha Nan for his opinion. Amegakure was a hot potato, and no one wanted to touch it.
The Five Great Nations officially determined that Amegakure was a group of villains, the most evil people ever seen in the Ninja world.
He deserves to be killed by everyone in the Ninja world!
Although the Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure were cautious and unwilling to easily send troops, they still followed the Daimyo in issuing a statement of condemnation, believing that the Amegakure had disrupted the order of the Ninja world and was an unstable factor in the Ninja world, and must be punished until the Amegakure was completely destroyed.
Konoha remained silent, adopting a neutral, spectator-like stance, and focused solely on doing business.
But silence is ambiguity, and ambiguity is bias.
The ubiquitous presence of the new Will of Rain in the Land of Rain clearly indicates that this damned ideology originated in Konoha, believing that Konoha is the best friend, partner, and ally of Amegakure.
Occasionally, some clueless ministers in the officialdom of the Five Great Nations would request that Konoha be dealt with as well.
The root of extreme evil must never be tolerated!
However, the Five Great Nations immediately issued official statements, asserting that it was definitely the evil elements of Amegakure who were fabricating rumors. This was a premeditated attempt by those evil elements of Amegakure to create misunderstandings and conflicts between Konoha and the Five Great Nations.
No one can sow discord between Konoha and the Five Great Nations!
Those ministers who were clueless about the situation were quickly demoted and severely reprimanded by the Daimyo in their respective countries.
Do you idiots want to destroy this Ninja world?!
The man had just made a speech in the morning, and by the afternoon he had been stripped of all his official positions from top to bottom. That evening, on his way back to his hometown, he died after being shot eighteen times with Kunai Chinese weapon). The case was ultimately ruled a suicide.
"Oh, they've finally arrived?"
"Then let him in."
Uchiha Nan nodded, then continued to ponder the current situation in the Ninja world.
Looking at the past is far more insightful than looking at the future!
To maximize its profits, Konoha must first remain neutral, then observe from the sidelines, selling weapons and supplies to both sides. It must wait until the fighting is nearly over and a victor is about to emerge before making its grand entrance!
The first battle is the decisive one; a single battle will decide the fate of the world!
Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan this strategy very much, but that wasn't the main reason. His primary goal was to change the mindset of the Ninja world world.
I'll just make a little money on the side. Cough cough cough. Just on the side.
A change in mindset cannot be accomplished overnight; Uchiha Nan worked hard for several years but only managed to completely change the new generation of Konoha.
Old-school ninjas are like rotten rocks in a toilet—extremely difficult to deal with.
It's unknown how long it will take to change the entire Ninja world.
Konoha desperately needs the help of Amegakure to launch a thorough enlightenment movement in the Ninja world.
Amegakure is now more powerful than ever before, with countless underlings cheering them on.
The title of Hanzo of the Hanzo the Salamander, the Demigod of the Ninja World Amegakure, is not just for show. Second Shinobi World War, he led Amegakure to fight against Konoha and Sunagakure, two long-established ninja villages, with the strength of a single village.
Command ability is off the charts!
Hanzo the Salamander's individual strength goes without saying.
Do you understand the true value of the Konoha Sannin?
Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya have always carried this title throughout their lives in the Ninja world, and they have made this title famous. They do not consider it a disgrace that the three of them were defeated by Hanzo the Salamander and that he bestowed this title upon them.
However, in the later part of the anime, Hanzo the Salamander was portrayed as a minor character. ( Kishimoto, you're utterly heartless!)
In any case, at this point in time, it is by no means an exaggeration to call Amegakure the sixth greatest ninja village.
Aside from lacking Tailed Beast, a weapon of mass destruction, it truly lacks nothing.
Moreover, rogue ninjas and Missing-nin from the Ninja world, inspired by the Amegakure of Amegakure, flocked there in droves, hoping to join the great land of ninjas.
These ninjas, who roam the lower rungs of the Ninja world, wouldn't bother with such high-sounding words as "Ninja world order" and "endless disasters."
They were just a bunch of nobodys. The future of the Ninja world was too far removed from them, too advanced for them. They were a motley crew, their vision limited to their own little corner of the world.
But that doesn't matter. The Ninja world can exist without Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, but it cannot exist without them. They are the main force of the Ninja world, the countless ordinary people in the Ninja world world, and the foundation that constitutes the ninja world.
Ordinary people have their limitations, but they are not stupid; they know who the worms riding on their heads really are.
If it were a peerless hero like Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, it would be understandable, since they possessed unparalleled power.
But what do the nobles have?
Why should noblemen live a life of luxury while ninjas have to endure hardship?
Are the fists of noblemen really that big?
Do they possess powerful Kekkei Genkai?
No, they have nothing!!
These were originally taboo topics, which no one dared to discuss openly in the past. They could only complain quietly behind closed doors when they were slightly drunk. If they were asked to have a discussion in the middle of the night, they would suddenly become cowardly and back down.
But things are different now. The Amegakure, with its overwhelming strength, even rivaling the Five Great Ninja Villages, has stepped forward and decisively defeated the nobles of the country.
Things that I dared not or could not say in the past, I can say freely in the Land of Rain. Things that I have done countless times in my dreams but dared not do in reality, I can do to my heart's content in the Land of Rain with Lord Hanzo.
A wave of ideological liberation is surging, and the anger and resentment that the ninjas have accumulated for thousands of years are slowly being released until one day they will completely overturn this distorted world. Uchiha Nan is happy to see this happen.
Of course, this beautiful vision is predicated on the fact Obito Amegakure survives the nobles' counterattack. The allied forces of the Five Great Villains ultimately defeated Six Paths, though the process... cough cough... is indescribable, but they did contribute nonetheless.
There is absolutely no way that Amegakure could survive the combined attack of the five great ninja villages!
In addition to driving the ninja villages under their command to physically eliminate the existence of Amegakure, the nobles also exerted all their efforts in their areas of expertise.
The combined power of the Daimyo truly startled Uchiha Nan. Although they were just ordinary people without powerful military force, their economic sanctions alone could wreak havoc on Amegakure. The effects might not be immediately apparent, but if this dragged on for a year or two, Land of Rain might face starvation and severe shortages of various resources.
Ninjas in the Ninja world are ultimately not good at production. Konoha is considered an oddity. Uchiha Nan helped Konoha open the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Here, we should especially thank Tobirama Senju for his selfless dedication.
Uchiha Nan naturally couldn't let Amegakure disappear like that.
Konoha sells what the Five Great Nations won't sell, Konoha also sells what the Five Great Nations can't sell!
The Amegakure slaughtered a fat pig for the New Year, and Konoha also wanted a piece of the pie—it was a market for an entire country.
There's no business that Konoha can't do now; even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has to turn a blind eye!
The envoy from Amegakure entered with a look of reverence. He was a bodyguard of Hanzo the Salamander. To become Hanzo the Salamander's bodyguard, one not only had to meet the required level of combat prowess, but also had to align one's ideology with Hanzo the Salamander's.
Ninjas are the masters of this world; they must crush those insect nobles!
Hanzo the Salamander copied Uchiha Nan's entire program, making minor modifications to make it more suitable for the Land of Rain, such as changing the Will of Fire" to "New Will of Rain".
" Lord Hokage, your wisdom and foresight are the guiding light of our Amegakure."
The envoy from Amegakure bowed deeply and began to flatter them, saying that Amegakure alone could not fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, so Amegakure needed the support of Konoha.
"Speak, what brings you to Konoha?"
Uchiha Nan waved his hand, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind. The Amegakure must have come to Konoha at this time to seek Konoha's help.
We must make the most of the huge market in Amegakure!
" Lord Hokage, why doesn't Konoha join forces with Amegakure to overthrow the rule of the Daimyo and nobles? Facing those stubborn ninja villages like Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, if we join forces, we'll surely be able to slaughter them all!"
Konoha is in charge of the indiscriminate slaughter, Amegakure is in charge of the wailing?
Uchiha Nan worked so hard to develop Konoha into what it is today, not just to gamble with Amegakure.
Do you even understand what strategic power is?
I could be sipping iced cola in the office, casually dating, with Konoha's factories constantly producing goods, making money by trading resources between the two sides, and eventually effortlessly crushing the entire Ninja world. Why should I risk everything with Amegakure?
Envoy of Amegakure, you are too idealistic. Konoha prefers tangible benefits.
"Innocent."
"The situation in the Ninja world is complex and not simply a matter of friend or foe. What we need is not just strength, but more importantly, wisdom and strategy."
This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].
You Rain Ninja have wiped out the nobles and gained a great deal of wealth, land, and population. You are now thriving like a raging fire. However, your national governance system is almost at a standstill.
The Five Great Nations, together with the entire Ninja world, have imposed economic sanctions on you, completely severing trade relations. Next year, you may not even be able to be self-sufficient in food.
Konoha won't follow your Amegakure actions. Do you want Konoha to pay the price for your recklessness and fight the Four Great Ninja Villages together?
I am the Kage of Konoha, and I am responsible for all the villagers of Konoha.
Uchiha Nan shook his head, directly rejecting the Amegakure envoy.
You can't work yourself to the bone, you can't work yourself to the bone, how will you make money if you do!
The Amegakure envoy looked embarrassed, clearly not expecting Uchiha Nan to refuse so decisively.
"I am the Hokage of Konoha, and my only thought is how to improve the lives of the villagers of Konoha."
Therefore, I have no intention of getting involved in the messy affairs of your Amegakure. Even if your Amegakure, the Four Great Ninja Villages, and the Five Great Nations fight to the death, it has nothing to do with Konoha.
After all, Konoha is currently busy doing business. The Five Great Nations and the Four Great Ninja Villages are all excellent partners for Konoha. Compared to these fighting and killing, Konoha prefers to talk about cooperation and make money together.
You are not a part of Konoha, you don't love Konoha at all. You only came to Konoha this time to try and drag Konoha onto Amegakure's war chariot. Do you think Konoha is stupid?
Uchiha Nan's tone was somewhat intense, and the Chakra fluctuations emanating from his body made the Amegakure envoy tremble with fear.
The Amegakure's little schemes couldn't be hidden from the Konoha after all. Hopefully, these negotiations won't fall apart!
" The Amegakure can be discussed, and the Amegakure can also love Konoha!!"
The envoy from Amegakure shouted loudly, trying his best to show Amegakure's sincerity.
"What is your status in Amegakure? Are you the person in charge of Amegakure?"
Uchiha Nan gave a cold laugh and then said.
"Lord Hanzo has given me the right to act first and report later. Lord Hokage, why don't you tell me Konoha's conditions?"
The envoy from Amegakure straightened his back slightly. Hanzo the Salamander Konoha given him immense authority, and he needed to secure Konoha's support this time.
"Condition?"
"You should feel fortunate that Konoha is still willing to do business with you. The Daimyo of the Five Great Nations directly sanctioned your Amegakure. What blind merchant would dare to do business with a bunch of desperados like you?"
Logically speaking, Konoha should have ripped you off badly!
However, Konoha admires Amegakure's courage, and I personally am also looking forward to seeing just how far Hanzo the Salamander can go this time. So, I'll let you off this time."
Uchiha Nan repeatedly tugged at the Amegakure envoy's mind, causing the Amegakure to break out in a cold sweat.
Therefore, Konoha will adhere to the principles of fair and just trade this time.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!!"
The envoy from Amegakure breathed a sigh of relief; he knew absolutely nothing about business.
But the commercial sanctions, the severing of economic ties, and even the fact that the Land of Rain would eventually be unable to be self-sufficient in food, that Uchiha Nan mentioned really terrified him.
He spent his entire life wielding swords and spears, born into the military, a true veteran who understood best the importance of provisions to a ninja army. How could he expect his ninjas to risk their lives if they themselves were starving?
If he doesn't stab his superior in the back in the middle of the night, he's already showing kindness!
In any case, this trip wasn't a complete waste.
"Sensible!"
" Lu Yuan, take him downstairs and get him to sign all the agreements!"
Uchiha Nan grinned and called out to Nara Luyuan, who had been waiting outside the door, instructing him to take the Amegakure Nara Luyuan to the office next door to sign the cooperation agreement.
The envoy from Amegakure went to the next room and read through the stack of agreements on the table from beginning to end.
Just as the Lord Hokage said, there was no unfairness whatsoever; it was all a business cooperation agreement—a pure, free agreement without any commercial barriers.
"Have you finished reading? If you're willing to do business with Konoha, then sign the contract!"
"Okay, I'll sign it right away!"
The envoy from Amegakure hurriedly signed and stamped the seal representing Hanzo the Salamander.
"Very good, your Amegakure will certainly not regret this cooperation agreement."
Nara Luyuan nodded with a half-smile, then led the Amegakure envoy out of the Hokage Building.
