The news that Hanzo of the Salamander was going to become Rain Shadow on its own, and that it planned to be the shadow of Five Great Shinobi Villages, soon spread throughout Shinobi World.
All major Shinobi Villages have received the news, and even those Small Shinobi Villages who are not very powerful also know about this matter.
In this regard, Small Shinobi Village people are envious, jealous, and ridiculed.
They feel that Amegakure is just a few battles among Second Shinobi World War, so what qualifications does it have to keep pace with Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Of course, Small Shinobi Village's attitude is not important, what really matters is Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Konoha held a high-level meeting for this purpose.
Among Conference Room, Hiruzen Sarutobi is sitting in the main seat. Next to him is Elder Council, and then the leaders of the major Shinobi Clan.
"Everyone, I believe you have also received the news that Hanzo of the Salamander of Amegakure is going to be independent Rain Shadow and plans to become Sixth Great Shinobi Village. What do you think about this matter?"
Before anyone could speak, Shimura Danzō snorted coldly.
"What else do you think? A little Rain Ninja dares to call himself Sixth Great Shinobi Village. How dare he be on par with our Konoha. It looks like he was given to him before Our lesson is not hard enough. Hiruzen To deal with such a complacent guy, we should give him a profound lesson and gather our people. Isn't he going to hold some kind of inauguration ceremony? Let's go and cheer him up."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak, he just glanced at Mitokado Homura.
Mitokado Homura understood immediately and said.
"Danzo, don't be so murderous. There is no need to fight and kill at every turn. Besides, our village is still in the recuperation stage, so it is not suitable for another war.
Besides, we Konoha have always been harmonious and friendly, and taking the initiative to provoke war will damage our image of Konoha."
Utatane Koharu echoed.
"Yes, yes, we are still recuperating now, and the finances are still relatively tight. If there is another war, it will be even more tense. Without enough funds, we cannot prepare enough war preparation materials."
Everyone also started discussing the issue of whether to start a war.
Within Konoha, there are those who advocate war and those who advocate peace, but in the end, the majority are those who advocate peace. After all, the war has just ended, and many Shinobi Clans have sacrificed their lives, so not many people are willing to start a war again.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet."
Hiruzen Sarutobi knocked on the table.
Everyone suddenly became quiet. They knew that Master Third Hokage must have made a decision in his mind.
"Okay, I understand your thoughts. Generally speaking, we need to counterattack Amegakure's arrogance, but it is not feasible to start a war again. If you don't want to fight, you can't fight."
Everyone nodded, feeling that Hiruzen Sarutobi was right, and this was what they thought.
They have to come up with a way to express their attitude without starting a war and causing sacrifices.
"Let's see, I believe Konoha is not the only one who will not be happy with Land of Rain's actions. Other Shinobi Villages, especially Sunagakure and Iwagakure, will definitely also react.
We sent a letter to them, and we all united to boycott Amegakure so that Hanzo of the Salamander would know that even if he calls himself a shadow or Sixth Great Shinobi Village, it is nothing but bullshit in our eyes."
Everyone felt very satisfied, but Danzo snorted coldly.
I couldn't help but secretly say, Hiruzen, you are really too weak.
But on this occasion, he still didn't speak. There were quite a few people present now. Shinobi Clan and Clan Leader were all here, so they still had to save some face for Hiruzen and Hokage.
If only these old guys were present, he would definitely slam the table and shout, Hiruzen You are too weak and you will regret it in the future.
Then Hiruzen Sarutobi yelled, "Enough is enough, I am Hokage" and he turned around and left without hesitation, slamming Conference Room's door when he left.
Only in this way can he bring out his Hiruzen Sarutobi's incompetence and his determination for the village.
Similar meetings were held at Five Great Shinobi Villages at the same time, but the most important thing was Shinobi Village, which was adjacent to Land of Rain and the three great powers of fire, earth and wind.
After all, they border Land of Rain. As for Kumogakure and Kirigakure, one is separated from Amegakure by several countries, and the other is alone overseas.
They didn't have much reaction to Land of Rain's actions. After all, there was no direct conflict of interest. As for reputation, this kind of thing is not useful just by calling yourself Sixth Great Shinobi Village.
Their name of Five Great Shinobi Villages was gained after Shinobi World so many years of ups and downs.
"Okay, now let's discuss another issue."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also set a tone for Amegakure calling himself Sixth Great Shinobi Village, and began to prepare to discuss other issues. After all, so many Shinobi Clan's Clan Leader were summoned here for a meeting, and they would not only discuss a small Amegakure.
"As for the development of the village, I would like to discuss it with you Clan Leader. Although we won the war in this war, we also paid a heavy price. The losses of the war, the replenishment of combat readiness materials, and the pensions for Ninja's family members all require a lot of funds. The village is indeed in some financial constraints recently, so I hope to discuss it with all the families Clan Leader."
His words were quite euphemistic, but his meaning was quite straightforward, that is, he Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped that these families could contribute some funds to the village.
However, after this meeting, everyone did not have a very pleasant conversation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi feels that since your big families enjoy the protection of the village and enjoy various welfare benefits from the village, you should contribute money to help when the village is in trouble.
After all, over the years, these major Shinobi Clan companies have been doing various businesses, relying on the reputation of Konoha, and how much money they have made. It is not a big deal if each family contributes a little money. At least they can help the village get through this difficulty first.
But the views of the major families are different. They feel that during the war, the members of their major families are at the forefront, the absolute main force in the war, and the most sacrificed people. They have sacrificed so many people for the village, why do they still need to ask for money from them now? What is this? Why are they still eating and taking it?
In the end, after Hiruzen Sarutobi's hard persuasion, the major families contributed some symbolic money.
After Clan Leader from each family left, only Konoha F4 was left among Conference Room.
"Hmph, these hateful guys are obviously enjoying the benefits of the village, but they are unwilling to share the worries of the village. It's really hateful."
Shimura Danzō snorted coldly.
"Especially the evil Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan, the biggest Shinobi Clan who claimed to be Konoha, actually only paid so little money in the end, it's really disgusting."
"Okay Danzo, it's useless to say anything anymore. The top priority now is how to make up for the shortfall."
Although Mitokado Homura is also very dissatisfied with the attitude of these big Shinobi Clan, the top priority is how to get enough money to solve the village's urgent needs.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took out Smoking Pipe and clicked it, took a deep puff before saying.
"How about we give some more?"
Utatane Koharu shook his head.
"No, this amount is too big. Even our families can't afford so much money."
"Oh, I thought of someone."
Suddenly Mitokado Homura seemed to think of something, he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said.
"Chiba Commerce Association, which has recently become famous in Shinobi World, was probably founded by the Chiba boy who left the village."
