Lord God Investigator

In the original plot, Konoha Village suffered great losses in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" planned by Orochimaru. Many ninjas were injured or killed, the village was destroyed, the Hokage was assassinated and died, and the new Hokage has not yet been selected.

Therefore, Konoha's surrender conditions to Sunagakure Village were very generous. It was equivalent to Sunagakure stabbing Konoha hard. He said lightly that he was sorry for admitting the wrong person, and Konoha wiped off the old and new grudges, and everyone continued to be friends.

This time, although under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha once again forgave Sunagakure Village, and also formulated the "Sunagakure Assistance Plan" to provide the impoverished Sunagakure with financial aid no less than that of the Wind Country every year. With assistance, Sunagakure has helped Sunagakure build various other mines, changing the situation of Sunagakure exporting a single type of ore, and treating Sunagakure as a rear mine that continuously provides resources to Konoha.

But Konoha is not a philanthropist, and is not so kind to give money to Sunagakure in vain. The surrender conditions are naturally many times harsher. Since Konoha's financial aid to Sunagakure is already higher than that of the daimyo of the land of wind, then Sunagakure unconditionally gives Konoha Isn’t it natural for Ye to be a thug?

Konoha and Sunagakure signed a treaty equivalent to the form of "one village, one country", replacing the status of the Wind Country and becoming the financial backer of Sunagakure Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought very well. If the economy of Sunagakure Village can be stronger than before with the help of Konoha, and the living conditions of civilians and ninjas improve, they should be grateful to Konoha Village, no longer miss the past life, and accept the new one. With international status, he can safely serve as Konoha's little brother.

However, from the perspective of Sunagakure ninjas and the people, this is not what they think at all.

"We are all a great ninja village, why should you be the boss and me the dog?"

"Originally, our Sunagakure economy was second in the ninja world by selling gold, but now we are in the last place due to the scourge of Konoha's ten trillion taels of gold, and we have to be Konoha's dog!"

"I heard that there is a carefree Konoha ninja who has fallen in love with Miss Temari, our beautiful girl from Sunagakure, and wants to marry her as a concubine!"

"What a shame! What's the point of living in such disgrace!"

There were quite a lot of angry noises in Sunagakure Village, but they were forced to do so because most of the elite ninjas were captured by Konoha, and their lives were in Konoha's hands, so they did not dare to publicly denounce them.

The Ninja Village financially aided the Ninja Village. Although Konoha had to make a decision because it was afraid that Sunagakure would be poor in the future and wanted to change, and once again jumped over the wall and betrayed Konoha, it invisibly broke the old tradition of "one village, one country". The world structure touched the sensitive nerves of all the ninja daimyo, who believed that this was the first step for Konoha to annex the ninja world.

Raikage Ai said loudly: "Yes, the industrial products of the Kingdom of Thunder cannot compete with Konoha products in the market. Many factories have closed down, and fiscal revenue has dropped significantly. Therefore, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder have reduced the number of Kumogakure villages. The amount of financial aid.”

At this point, the grumpy Ai stamped his foot hard, crushing the stone floor under his feet, and said bitterly: "Today, the economic lifeline of the ninja world is completely controlled by Konoha. Whoever they want to be poor can be made poor!"

Tsuchikage Onoki also nodded and agreed: "It was okay before. Our Earth Kingdom relied on ore exports as its pillar industry. The total amount of ore purchased by Konoha Village was huge, and the Earth Kingdom made a lot of money. But recently, Konoha has used us The exported ore is mass-produced to make cheap metal products and dumped at low prices to compete for the market, which has seriously affected the fiscal revenue of the Land of Earth, and our financial aid has also been cut."

Mizukage Terumi Mei did not speak out to complain. Kirigakure Village was isolated overseas and had not yet been affected by the economic impact of the Konoha Restoration. It had not participated in many ninja wars in history and had no grudges with the major ninja villages.

However, although Terumi Mei is a female generation, she has the ambition to revitalize Kirigakure, so she actively participates in the international affairs of the ninja world and wants to make profits for the future development of Kirigakure.

A tall middle-aged man dressed as a samurai was also in the venue. His seat took the place that originally belonged to the Leaf Village. This man was Mifune, the samurai leader of the Iron Country. In this Five Kingdoms and Four Shadows Conference, he Present as representatives of the five major ninja nations.

Mifune stood up and said: "Dear Ninja Village Shadows, the aid funds for your village have been cut, not because the daimyo violated the agreement they made back then, but because over the past year, the finances of all countries have been very tight. Let's not talk about the complicated economic principles, but simply In other words, all the money was stolen by Konoha."

This samurai leader represents the interests of the samurai class and is the spokesperson of the daimyo. Before the meeting, he had discussed countermeasures with the representatives sent by the daimyo of the five countries.

Mifune said angrily: "Konoha is self-respecting and ambitious. It not only sucks the blood of the Ninja Kingdom countries, but also attempts to obtain the same legal status as the Ninja Kingdom Daimyo, bypassing the Wind Country Daimyo and directly controlling Sunagakure Village through financial aid. This is an act of transgression that the daimyo-sama will never tolerate!

If we let it go, there will be no country in the ninja world and no village in the future. You and I will be at the mercy of Konoha, and Konoha will only be the dog hawk of the Dragon Kingdom. In the end, it will be the foreigners who will benefit. This is betrayal of ninja. The traitorous evil behavior of serving world interests must be severely curbed! "

Tsuchikage Onoki curled his lips and said: "That's easy to say! I would like to ask how to stop it?"

Mifune said: "After discussions with the daimyo of the five countries, the four major ninja villages jointly put pressure on Konoha, requiring Konoha to pay 80% of the total investment income of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce as a 'customs duty' every year. This amount is based on a certain amount." The proportion is divided among the five major ninja countries, and the daimyo of the ninja countries allocate part of this tax as aid to the ninja villages."

Raikage Ai stroked his beard and frowned and asked: "I understand what you mean. It is to let Konoha return the money it earned from us, but why does Konoha pay customs duties? Does it make sense legally? ?”

Mifune said: "Just because the ninja world is the territory of the daimyo-sama, everything on the land of the ninja world belongs to the daimyo-sama. As a village in the ninja world, Konoha should pay taxes in accordance with the law and make profits in the ninja world, and the benefits should be shared equally!"

Onoki thought for a while and said: "If Konoha refuses forcefully, will we really fight Konoha in the Fourth Ninja War?"

When the war was mentioned, several of the Kages present also showed solemn expressions and remained silent, refusing to answer Onoki's words. The Ninja world has been in turmoil for years. Which Ninja village has not lost anyone in the war?

Konoha is not the only one who is afraid of war. Ninjas in the entire ninja world are a little afraid of war. Only martial arts ninja villages like Kumogakure are not afraid of sacrifice and are happy to hear the battle.

"Konoha has only risen for more than a year. Although several outstanding newcomers have emerged, the number of ninjas has not increased significantly. If we form a ninja army, we can build an army of ten thousand people at most."

Granny Chiyo was the first to break the silence and said: "If the four major ninja villages form a coalition, the strength can reach more than 40,000. If all the smaller ninja villages are recruited to join, the total strength can reach 50,000, which is at least five times that of Konoha. We Sunagakure ninjas The army can pretend to join forces with Konoha, and then rebel and attack from the rear, there is still a good chance of winning."

Chiyo received a promise from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind that if he was willing to join the Five Kingdoms and Four Shadows Conference, the four major ninja villages would add a "liberating Sunagakure" clause when putting pressure on Konoha, completely overturning the "Kisa Goodwill Agreement". The unequal treaty that humiliated the village and restored the independent status of Sunagakure Village.

"Today, there are ten Kages in charge of Konoha. How many Kage levels can our four major ninja villages, including the jinchuriki, gather together?"

Onoki still shook his head and said: "In the Ninja World War, military strength is still secondary. Kage-level ninjas can often influence the outcome of a battle. Think about the 'Konoha White Fang', 'Golden Flash' and 'Konoha Sannin' who were active on the battlefield in the past." , isn’t the reputation they have forged because they have the blood of countless ordinary ninja soldiers on their hands?”

Ohnoki is quite wary of Kage-level powerhouses influencing the battle situation, because in history, Iwagakure has suffered such a big loss. Ten thousand Iwagakure ninja troops were blocked by the Third Raikage alone. The battle lasted for three days and three nights with countless casualties. The third generation Raikage died.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent again.

During this period, the Akatsuki organization has not yet begun the operation to seize the tailed beasts. Kumogakure and Iwagakure each have two tailed beast jinchūriki. Kirigakure originally had two, but one is dead (Blood Mizukage Yagura) and the other defected. , Sunagakure's Jinchuuriki Gaara was captured.

The four jinchūriki, the three shadows and a Sunagakure advisor, Granny Chiyo, could barely make up eight shadow levels, which was not superior to the ten shadows of Konoha.

Moreover, intelligence showed that there was a young man named Uchiha Sasuke in Konoha Village who seemed to have the secret technique to restrain tailed beasts. Gaara, the one-tailed jinchuriki, was defeated by him and lost completely.

When a jinchūriki meets Sasuke from the Leaf Village on the battlefield, it's like bringing food to his door.

Mifune cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The daimyo of the five countries are willing to devote all their financial resources to provide military funds for the four major ninja villages. In addition, for each village, the shadow-level powerhouses are less than those in Konoha. On local battlefields, Daimyos also have solutions to the problem of being at a disadvantage in battle."
