The Situation Couldn't Be Allowed to Drag On Any Longer-Konoha's Sugar-Coated Bullets Were Just Too Powerful!
The snow is still falling.
The four great ninja villages sent a group of ninjas to search for the Sky Ninja Village, but they did not bring back any useful information.
Otōto Black Zetsu has not returned to this day.
It turns out that being able to fly is truly amazing!
No one knows how long the Sky Ninja Village remained suspended in the sky before finally choosing to land on the ground.
Perhaps it's still floating in the sky right now!
The Ninja world is so vast that even the Sky Ninja Village can fly.
If the Sky Ninja Village Sky Ninja Village determined to hide, Uchiha Nan really won't be able to do anything about it for the time being.
only.
If I can't defeat your Sky Ninja Village, I can certainly defeat your Land of Sky!
In the original timeline, after the Sky Ninja Village was wiped out by Konoha, only a few survivors remained, hiding in the Ninja world. Without the protection of the ninja village, the Sky Country was quickly annexed by neighboring countries.
Now, it's just a recurring scenario.
The campaign against the Land of Sky proceeded smoothly, without even requiring a large-scale mobilization of ninja forces.
What are ordinary soldiers compared to an elite ninja squad?
The Sky Kingdom is like a lamb to the slaughter.
The Daimyo of the Five Great Nations agreed on a time to meet, and after several days and nights of heated debate at the negotiating table to divide the interests, the matter was considered settled.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire took a tough stance. Despite his submissive attitude domestically, he launched a powerful offensive against foreign powers, reaping the greatest benefits.
Who can blame them when Konoha has a strong and well-equipped army? Having a big fist is just so satisfying.
Konoha has no interest in the territory of the Land of the Sky.
Currently, the territory within the Land of Fire is already enough for Konoha to cause trouble.
The money will naturally be split 30/70.
Konoha 7.
As for population, the more cheap labor the better.
Konoha is slowly becoming the factory of the entire Ninja world, constantly exporting all kinds of industrial products. At this time, it is in dire need of cheap labor.
However, this is a decent way out for the cattle and horses of the Sky Country.
Working in a factory under Konoha's control might exhaust you, but you certainly won't starve or be inexplicably killed by Missing-nin.
If someone is lucky enough to be assigned to a factory near Konoha, even if their ancestral graves are burned down by Amaterasu, belching black smoke, they will still have the privilege of experiencing the kindness of Konoha's benevolent fathers up close.
If they have foresight and are willing to make the tough decision, it would be best to take out a 30-year loan and buy a house in Konoha. After working hard for more than ten years and obtaining a Konoha resident ID card, their family of three generations would be secure.
However, these are not the main points.
Because of the Sky Ninja Village, the education system of the Land of Sky is completely different from that of the Ninja world. It has always focused on science and technology, cultivating a large number of researchers, engineers, teachers, and skilled workers.
This is exactly the kind of wealth that Uchiha Nan has always wanted!
It's the second-best loot after the Zero-Tailed Beast from the Sky Ninja Village!
Although Tobirama Senju was an excellent nuclear-powered donkey, he could even be regarded as a sacred relic and passed down from generation to generation in Konoha.
Although Uchiha Nan hadn't decided on a candidate for the Fourth Hokage yet, he was still very young and could be considered to be in his prime.
Working for another ten or twenty years would be a piece of cake.
However, Uchiha Nan still intends to pass on Tobirama Hokage, this nuclear-powered donkey, to the Tobirama Senju.
The Hokage's duty is to always shine for Konoha!
Although Tobirama Senju might not agree, there are many things he would disagree with, Uchiha Nan wouldn't tolerate it.
If it really doesn't work
Uchiha Nan could also Impure World Reincarnation Hashirama Senju using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so that the First Hokage could help him persuade Tobirama Senju.
If it's for the greater good of Konoha, Hashirama Senju would probably agree.
After all, he had said it himself: as long as it's for Konoha, he wouldn't let go of friends, brothers, or family.
Even Hashirama Senju could use this reason to convince himself to kill his best friend Madara Uchiha.
Now, using this reason again, sacrificing his beloved Otōto and joining Uchiha Nan in persuading Tobirama Senju to serve Konoha as a nuclear-powered donkey for generations should be no problem!
Now... it seems like we can also add Izuna Uchiha...
This guy is a bit difficult to deal with.
However, with Tobirama Senju Madara Uchiha.
If I lower my own standards a little bit more, I'm sure I can find a way to manipulate Izuna Uchiha.
but
Relying on the power of these two nuclear-powered donkeys is still too dangerous for Konoha.
As a qualified Hokage, one must always consider the long-term implications.
Uchiha Nan immediately dispatched people to take over these precious treasures of the Land of Sky.
Konoha greatly admires these talents; come and experience the kindness of Konoha's fathers!!
It's just a pity for the staff at the Hokage of Konoha. In order to handle the affairs of the Land of Sky, they have to work overtime at the Hokage Building even during the year-end season, and they can't even take their annual leave.
However, Uchiha Nan, as the Hokage, was far from idle; he essentially accompanied them to work.
Every day, Uchiha Nan would stay in his tent, review the intelligence reports from Konoha, sign his name, and then have them sent back to Konoha.
"It seems we won't be able to spend the New Year in Konoha this year."
"What a pity."
Uchiha Nan finished processing today's documents.
Suddenly I felt that as Hokage
We need to prepare some benefits for the ninjas who are stationed with us in the field and cannot return to the village for the New Year.
"To celebrate the New Year, we could have an outdoor party."
Uchiha Nan thought to himself.
It wasn't that Uchiha Nan wanted to play it himself. Well, there was a tiny bit of that.
But most importantly.
We still need to continue to demonstrate Konoha's strength in front of the other four major ninja villages.
Recently, Konoha has planted many spies among the four major ninja villages.
They all voluntarily surrendered to Konoha.
Sunagakure, needless to say, had long been infiltrated by Konoha and was like a sieve.
They are extremely economically dependent on Konoha.
Konoha's logo is ubiquitous in Sunagakure; from ninja tools and medical supplies to everyday items, everything is made in Konoha.
Within Sunagakure, a trend even emerged where only Konoha tokens were used.
Furthermore, within Sunagakure, Konoha has established a number of factories that receive special subsidies from Konoha.
A large number of Sunagakure villagers work in the Konoha factory, mainly responsible for the secondary processing of the Kazekage's Gold Dust, as well as other precious metals.
Not only is the salary incredibly high, but the benefits are also top-notch!
Workers at the Konoha factory have free access to fresh water!
In the desolate desert, this alone is an extremely luxurious indulgence.
The workers in the factory are all staunch supporters of Konoha, and they yearn for the wonderful life in Konoha.
He firmly believes everything that Konoha promotes and is a loyal reader of the Konoha edition of Yilin.
The rumor that Konoha Ninja wash their Shuriken seven times originated from them.
"We can't help but reflect on whether the invincibility of Konoha's ninjas is related to the fact that they wash their Shuriken seven times each time. But washing Shuriken seven times represents Konoha's serious and meticulous work attitude, and the sharpness of metal when used to kill enemies. We, the Sunagakure..."
Whether Konoha Ninja wash their Shuriken seven times or not, Uchiha Nan doesn't know.
However, if a ninja from Sunagakure were in the desert and dared to wash their Shuriken seven times with water, then Uchiha Nan would truly give them a thumbs up.
besides
Furthermore, their infiltration of high-ranking officials in Sunagakure has continued unabated, as has their exchange student program!
Each batch of exchange students who returned to Sunagakure maintained good relations with Konoha.
Some of them have already been turned.
Some people wavered, but they had already become spiritual Konoha people.
They were all promoting the virtues of Konoha in Sunagakure and advocating for Konoha's interests within the Sunagakure.
Sunagakure was no longer a threat, so Uchiha Nan paid no attention to the ninjas from Sunagakure who had surrendered.
There are also the bloodline clans of Kirigakure, who desperately want to kneel before Uchiha Nan and acknowledge him as their adoptive father.
But she was also hesitant and couldn't let go.
They still wanted to take a big gamble: kill the Third Mizukage and completely control Kirigakure.
The Kaguya Clan planned to take advantage of the Five Ninja Alliance to secretly send several young Kaguya clan members to Konoha, allowing them to temporarily live in anonymity, thus providing the Kaguya Clan with a way out.
The Hōzuki Clan and Yuki Clan thought the same thing.
Some ordinary ninjas chose to surrender.
Uchiha Nan readily accepted this offer.
The situations in Iwagakure and Kumogakure are quite similar; some ninjas in both villages yearn for the wonderful life in Konoha and want to become a part of Konoha.
soon
News of Uchiha Nan's plan to celebrate the New Year with an open-air party spread throughout the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The ninjas of the four great ninja villages —Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure —rejoiced, finally able to enjoy the kindness of Konoha once again.
The happiest were the ninjas of Kumogakure.
The ninjas of Kumogakure lived a truly miserable life.
The village suffered a great calamity and had been surviving on Soldier Pill ever since they had tasted the food from Konoha.
But Konoha isn't a charity; isn't getting something for free once enough?
Since that day, after the lunch gathering ended.
The garbage cans in Konoha were frequently stolen.
According to the Hyuga ninja's investigation, the stolen slop bucket from Konoha was found near the Kumogakure) compound.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal.
After all, it's just a slop bucket; the Hyuga clan comes from a prestigious ninja family.
We are all respectable people.
They felt ashamed to have made such a fuss over a few garbage cans and ended up at Kumogakure, so they reported it directly to Uchiha Nan.
"It's just a few garbage buckets, they're gone now."
Uchiha Nan didn't care about the few slop buckets; they were so embarrassed that they had to rummage through them.
People should always have some compassion.
Ōnoki, Suitō, Third Ai A learn that Konoha is going to hold an open-air party.
They met again that same day.
"Everyone, the Hokage's sweet-talking tactics are at it again."
People's hearts are restless.
"I can't prevent the Iwagakure ninja from participating in the Konoha organization's New Year's open-air party."
"Otherwise, a mutiny might occur."
Ōnoki spoke with a worried expression.
These days, the ninjas of Iwagakure have been complaining non-stop.
Why is it that the logistics of our Iwagakure are so much worse than those of Konoha?
Is it just rice balls and miso soup?
explain!
Quartermaster, are you fucking embezzling money?!
Faced with the interrogation from the Iwagakure Ninja, the Iwagakure quartermaster felt like dying.
Okay, he was a little greedy.
After all, which purchasing agent can resist the urge to be greedy?
Even the chefs of Daimyo would always find an opportunity to sneak a little something when they went out to buy supplies!
If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested.
But the quartermaster of Iwagakure could guarantee with his own life that he would take only a tiny bit.
Those damned businessmen are all cunning and have powerful backers. They bluntly stated that even if he were killed, they would never lower the price.
Ōnoki only had so much funding; even if he forced the quartermaster to his death, he wouldn't create something out of thin air.
Moreover, even if all the funds were used to purchase supplies, it would still not meet the food standards of Konoha.
However, the quartermaster was indeed driven to his death.
Faced with the enraged Iwagakure Ninja, even if Ōnoki knew the inside story, he could only tearfully behead the quartermaster to quell the Iwagakure Ninja's resentment.
Because he was indeed greedy.
Ōnoki replaced the quartermaster, increased the budget, and improved the food for the Iwagakure Ninja. Although it was not as good as the food standards of Konoha, it was still much better than the miso soup and rice balls of the past.
"Yes."
"But there's nothing we can do about it."
As he spoke, the Third Ai wiped the snow off the stone with his large hand and sat down on it.
The situation in Kumogakure is even more difficult than in Iwagakure.
The Kumogakure are all going to Konoha to steal garbage cans.
The Third Ai also ate it.
The taste of these Soldier Pill is indescribable; you could literally eat them until you vomit.
The swill bucket in Konoha still contains quite a few good things: leftover steamed buns, rice balls, and scraps of roasted meat. Collect what's edible, put it in a pot, add some water, and then heat it up over a fire.
It tastes amazing!
The ninjas from Kumogakure who tried it all said it was delicious, definitely better than Soldier Pill!
"This can't go on any longer; we must find the Sky Ninja Village as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, if morale drops, the team will be difficult to lead."
Suitō's tone was full of regret.
He shouldn't have brought the Kirigakure Force here to watch the drama unfold; in the end, he got himself into trouble!
Those damned bloodline clans not only flirted with Konoha, but also spread rumors among the Kirigakure forces to sway ordinary ninjas who originally supported them.
Konoha is so powerful because Konoha Hokage is a ninja from a bloodline clan!
Bloodline limit ninjas are the chosen ones of the Ninja world world, favored by the Sage of Six Paths.
Only a bloodline clan can lead Kirigakure to become as powerful as Konoha, but Suitō has been acting against the tide of history, regarding bloodline clans as a thorn in his side!
They'll get their comeuppance sooner or later!
Our bloodline clan must set things right and reclaim the bright future of Kirigakure from Suitō's hands!
This rumor is so utterly absurd that it's almost unbelievable, yet some ninjas actually believed it.
Suitō mudslinging that the Water Flood had thrown at the Bloodline Clan was starting to backfire.
After all, Konoha also has a bloodline clan, and the Hokage is from a bloodline clan. But Konoha was not cursed at all; on the contrary, it is thriving and developing at a rocket speed!
Surely one of these two completely different rumors must be true.
"Have your ninjas who were sent out to gather intelligence on the Sky Ninja Village yielded any results recently?"
Suitō questioned Ōnoki and Third Ai.
"No."
Still looking
Third Ai and Ōnoki shook their heads.
"That damn Sky Ninja Village really knows how to hide!"
The Third Ai slammed his fist into the bluestone beneath his buttocks, leaving a visible fist imprint.
No one wanted to find the Sky Ninja Village more than him.
For a moment, the atmosphere was so oppressive that the three of them could hardly breathe.
