Escape From Konoha

Land of Fire, Daming Mansion.

In a secluded courtyard, Daimyo of the Fire Country was sitting leisurely in the corridor, drinking tea while admiring the scenery in the courtyard.

Not long after, footsteps sounded from the side, and the fire country daimyo knew who was coming.

He turned his head to look at the person who came and smiled, "You're here, Danzo."

The visitor looked indifferent, but there was a dark and cold aura around him, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. It was Shimura Danzo, the leader of the Konoha roots.

Danzo nodded.

"Sit down, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Said the daimyo of the country of fire.

After Danzo heard it, he had no choice but to sit next to the fire country daimyo, and then he said, "Sorry, the old man messed up the matter of the rain country."

The ending of the Land of Rain War greatly reduced the international reputation of the Land of Fire and Konoha. On the contrary, the Land of Thunder and Yin Yun, who did nothing, won the final victory.

Even if the Kingdom of Demons also gained various benefits from it, it also paid a considerable price to make the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha back down.

Even though it has been more than a month since this incident, Danzo still has a thorn in his throat, full of unwillingness, and vows to take revenge on the kingdom of ghosts.

In the past, the country of ghosts has always maintained the status of a neutral country, so it is inconvenient to make a move.

But now that the kingdom of ghosts has taken the initiative to jump into the big dye vat of the ninja world, and no longer enjoys the protection system of a neutral country with the kingdom of iron, then some methods can naturally be carried out on the bright side.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. It's you and me, as well as Hirizhan, who underestimated the power of the ghost kingdom too much. Since His Majesty Hashirama established the one-country-one-village system, the Fire Nation has suffered such heavy losses, and it is still unprecedented. Once. This is not only your Konoha's dereliction of duty, as a daimyo, I also seem to have lost the sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace."

After the fire country daimyo finished speaking, a look of shame appeared on his old face.

He is of the same generation as Hizun and Danzo. He took over the position of Hokage in Hizun, and he has almost become a famous name in the Land of Fire. For decades, he has hugged each other to keep warm and jointly develop the power of the Land of Fire.

Occasionally there will be gaps, but on major issues, they can also abandon their prejudices and unanimously speak out.

But this kind of unification in major events is a war period when the Fire Nation encounters difficulties.

In the period of peaceful development, the relationship between the Daming Mansion and Konoha is not as ambiguous as it was during the war, but more fearful.

He once wanted to marry his direct daughter to Konoha's Fourth Hokage, in order to better control Konoha, at least not allow Konoha to escape the control of the Fire Nation, but unfortunately this choice was rejected by the Third Hokage.

It also completely cut off his idea of ​​interfering with Konoha.

As a daimyo, he knows very well that once an irreconcilable conflict breaks out between the daimyo mansion and Ninja village, it will be the moment when the land of fire and Konoha will perish.

Therefore, in this matter, as a daimyo, he and Hokage are giving in to each other.

Danzo nodded solemnly.

However, only Daimyo of the Fire Nation lost his sense of vigilance in times of peace, and his friend Hirazan, the root leader, has always advocated the use of force to enhance the international influence of Konoha and the Fire Nation.

It's just that his idea was always rejected before the War of the Kingdom of Wind.

It wasn't until the danger of the ghost country appeared that the terrified daimyo and hokage gradually realized that the ninja world was no longer the ninja world they used to know.

There was a country of ghosts in the past, and a country of thunder in the future. The two powerful countries that are keen on military development are both eyeing the country of fire. If the idea of ​​peaceful development is returned, it will only be a matter of time before the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha decline.

There are fundamentally different relationships between people and between countries.

Personal matters, once escalated to the national level, become insignificant.

Just like his good friend Hirizhan, he has a personal hatred with the high-level officials of the Ghost Kingdom, but in the talks, he must also focus on the overall situation, and his emotions cannot be influenced by personal emotions.

This is Hokage's job.

Hokage is not the Hokage of the Sarutobi clan.

Without the support of other ninjas, Hokage is just a display.

Because of this, without Uchiha's Konoha, the support of the Hyuga clan is particularly critical.

Compared with Kakashi, the Minister of Anbu, Danzo pays more attention to the Hyuga clan.

This is the background of the ninja, and their voices are the most powerful among Konoha.

"There is one thing I want you to know, daimyo. Hirizan wants Tsunade to succeed the Fifth Hokage."

Danzo said suddenly.

"Tsunade?" The fire country daimyo chewed the name carefully.

Tsunade is naturally no stranger to him. Speaking of which, Tsunade is still claiming the status of a princess here in the Daming Mansion. Although she is a princess who listens to the tune but does not listen to the announcement, her influence in the Land of Fire is indeed real. He is also the one with the strongest foundation among the Sannin.

Even if the Senju clan declines, the will of Senju will be passed on. In other words, as long as Konoha does not change his core thinking, then Tsunade's status as a 'princess' will always be valid, and as long as he has an idea, he can quickly Pull up a direct line of force in Konoha.

Fame and connections are sometimes invisible, but they always exist.

Just like Uchiha can thrive in the country of ghosts, it is also by virtue of his accumulated personal connections.

As long as the reputation and contacts continue, as long as the family is not hit by a devastating blow, there will be a chance to make a comeback.

"Tsunade's words are indeed good. If she came to become the Fifth Hokage, I would feel much more at ease here."

The fire country daimyo didn't seem to see through Danzo's thoughts, and said to himself.

"He inherited Hirizan's conservative thinking, which may not be conducive to the development of Konoha in the future."

Danzo said indifferently, unable to see his expression.

"However, Hizun's thinking has begun to change now, and he is no longer as conservative as before. I believe that Tsunade can take over Hizun's job very well."

Said the daimyo of the country of fire.

"Do you really think so, my lord?"

Danzo looked over with flickering eyes.

The fire country daimyo sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, Danzo did not give up the idea of ​​becoming Hokage.

But, how to expose the roots in the dark to the sunlight?

If so, the root is no longer a root.

He also doesn't think Danzo can do the work of Hokage.

Ability is second, and style of acting is the key.

Sometimes Danzo's approach is too dark, and Anbu, who is in power at most, is the limit, and he cannot become the leader of Konoha's bright face.

"Sun Zhan will not let you succeed."

"But the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha can't afford to wait now. Moreover, I came today just to inform Daimyo that I'm already preparing for action, and there will be results in a few years at most."

"..."

The fire country daimyo wanted to slap Danzo on the face.

After discussing it on my own initiative, what are you going to do with his name?

However, he also knew what Danzo wanted from Daming Mansion.

The fire country daimyo finally sighed: "Well, I will not help each other at that time, if you can bring down Hiruzen, it is also your ability. But I don't want Konoha to evolve into Kirigakure, and the private fight will eventually lead to Your own vitality has been seriously injured."

In his opinion, Sha Yin had indeed suffered a great humiliation during the War of the Wind Country.

But because of internal fighting in Wuyin Village, thousands of ninjas were killed and injured, which is the most aggrieved.

At least the ninjas of Sand Hidden died fighting the enemy instead of being slaughtered by their own people.

Being slaughtered by one's own people is the most ridiculous thing.

He couldn't help thinking of Konoha's Uchiha clan again, and the fire country daimyo suddenly found that he couldn't laugh out of his heart.

If the Uchiha clan of Konoha is still there, the kingdom of ghosts will not be so presumptuous to the kingdom of fire.

That is a wealthy family with a large number of elites, and the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha. Compared with Hokage, the Uchiha clan has a more deterrent effect on foreign enemies.

It is not the individual but the collective that is powerful in the Blood Succession Limit Ninja Clan.

"I will arrange this matter properly."

Danzo nodded seriously.

He doesn't need to be reminded by the daimyo of the country of fire, he also knows what he should do.

The Uchiha clan is due to serious political differences, and he is not so harsh on the rest of the ninja clan.

"That's good. But speaking of Tsunade, another of the Sannin is called Jiraiya, and you Konoha should strengthen his discipline."

Speaking of Zirai, the Fire Country daimyo's expression turned ugly.

Because the mention of this name made him think of very bad things.

The reason is that when the Fire Country intervened in the Civil War of the Rain Country last year, the Sannin didn't think hard about the Fire Country and Konoha, but went to the Daming Mansion alone to stop him from using troops against the Rain Country.

If it wasn't because the other party was his friend's disciple, he would have wanted to point to the other party's head and ask which side he was on?

The policies related to national development have been unanimously decided by Daimyo and Hokage, so no other voices of opposition are allowed. At this time, the whole country should unite on the same front and abandon all previous prejudices.

But this Sannin not only didn't think about his own people, but instead spoke out for the enemy, accusing the Fire Nation of inappropriate behavior.

It made him wonder if this Sannin was a spy sent by the Land of Rain.

It is said that the other party also accepted orphans from the Land of Rain as disciples in the past, which made him even more furious as the great name of the Land of Fire.

what is this?

Cultivate enemies to fight against your own country and Ninja Village?

On the other hand, Konoha pretended to be deaf and dumb about it, and didn't care about it.

Did he wait for the other party to turn his head to help Yuyin and break into the Fire Nation before coming over to explain?

"..."

Danzo couldn't help showing a little embarrassment on his old face.

He also heard a little about Jiraiya.

He also felt that Zilai also handled this matter very wrongly.

Fortunately, this matter was suppressed by Hokage and him, otherwise the rumors inside Konoha would not know how it would evolve.

It is estimated that all Konoha ninjas will look at this Sannin, and their eyes will become strange.

"Regarding this matter, Chiba Shiraishi of the Oni Country also said. On the eve of participating in the Rain Country talks, Jiraiya also went to the other party on purpose, hoping that the Oni Country would give up the talks."

After Danzo was embarrassed, he answered calmly.

"..."

The Fire Nation daimyo didn't speak, but calmly picked up the teacup next to him and drank tea.

But his face was ashen.

Let the ghost country give up the talks?

What does he want to do?

What is the result of letting the country of ghosts abandon the talks?

Is it hoped that the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of thunder will directly send troops over to enter the territory of the kingdom of fire, and then renegotiate with the kingdom of fire in an aggressive manner?

"Could he be... a spy sent to Konoha by the kingdom of ghosts?"

In the end, the fire country daimyo stared at Danzo closely and asked this sentence.

Danzo paused and quickly shook his head, denying the possibility that Jiraai was also a spy of the ghost country.

Judging from the performance of the talks, the kingdom of ghosts is obviously not willing to go to war. Only the kingdom of fire compromises and supports the kingdom of ghosts to become the sixth largest country. Then the matter of the kingdom of rain will be canceled and no one will mention it again. Happy to say it was a happy ending.

Jiraiya's approach obviously conflicts with the purpose of the ghost country.

"In short, I don't want him to come to the Daming Mansion again and say some gossips to confuse the public. Some of his actions must be restrained."

Hearing Danzo's words before, the fire country daimyo was very thankful that the high-level officials of the country of ghosts were still clear-headed, and did not listen to Jiraiya's unreasonable troubles.

If you listen to Jiraiya's words, the country of fire and Konoha are the real catastrophe.

Originally, the Nation of Rain talks were a formality for all parties to compromise and balance in order to stabilize the peace of the ninja world.

Even for the Fire Nation, which suffered the biggest loss in the talks, that is, the loss of reputation, but at the level of a big country, a little loss of reputation is not a problem.

As long as the foundation is still there, there will be a day when the title of the top five countries will be regained.

It was Jiraiya's obstruction that could brew the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War.

Even if the starting point is good, but as a Sannin, his understanding of politics is so shallow, which was not expected by the fire country daimyo.

The country of ghosts paid such a high price to facilitate the talks of the country of rain.

If the kingdom of ghosts gives up the talks, it will definitely ask the kingdom of fire to make compensation from other aspects.

By that time, what the Kingdom of Fire will lose is not just the reputation that is not painful, but something even more humiliating.

For example, the land cessation clause is similar to that of the Kingdom of Wind.

"I will explain this matter to Ri Zhan."

A gleam flashed in Danzo's eyes.

The daimyo hates Jiraiya, this is an unexpected joy that Danzo just discovered.

It may be possible to manipulate it here, and it is not impossible for the daimyo to support him to become Hokage.

The blame can only be blamed on Hirazan's own incompetence. He couldn't even restrain his disciples, and even caused the other party to almost trigger a war between the kingdom of fire and the kingdom of ghosts.

This kind of behavior, in Danzo's view, will sooner or later become one of the scourges that endanger Konoha.

"That's good. There is one more thing that needs to be entrusted to the roots."

Said the daimyo of the country of fire.

"What's up?"

"You should have heard of the agricultural and industrial groups in the land of waves."

The Fire Nation daimyo asked.

"Yes, it is said that it is a low-level organization formed after the workers and farmers who were instigated by the kingdom of ghosts gathered to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the nobles of the kingdom of wave."

In the matter of the Kingdom of Waves, he also hoped to let Genbu intervene at the beginning, but at that time, he was vetoed by the daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire, and instead let Anbu, the direct descendant of Hokage, take over.

But I didn't expect that in the Anbu of Hokage's direct lineage, spies from the Kingdom of Ghosts appeared, and the information was delayed, which led to the outbreak of the resistance movement. The Daimyofu and Konoha of the Kingdom of Fire were late to get the information, but it was too late by then. The power of the national aristocracy is gone.

In addition, the Nation of Rain was forced to negotiate quickly at that time, which also made the Nation of Fire weak.

Now that it has stabilized, it is indeed time to deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of Waves.

There is the sea gateway of the Fire Nation, and there is no room for loss.

Danzo still understands that the other side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly.

"This organization is not as good as it looks on the surface. Most of them are illiterate civilians, who are easy to be lured by money. After plundering the wealth of the famous people in the Kingdom of Waves, they began to degenerate and enjoy themselves, causing the agricultural and industrial groups to have no spare power to wipe out the power of the Waves. The remaining aristocratic forces in the country."

Daimyo of the Fire Country looked at the pond in front of him, as if talking about a very small matter.

Danzo nodded slightly.

After taking away the astonishing wealth of the nobles, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to keep it. They lose themselves in the enjoyment and fall into the terrible abyss of desire.

"And it's far more than that. As far as I know, although the country of ghosts facilitated the agricultural and industrial group, the cooperative relationship between them is not as close as before, and there is a crack in the middle."

"crack?"

"The top management of the agricultural and industrial group hired the Lei Guang Group from the underground black market. The Lei Guang Group, who was attracted by money, has now become a long-term thug of the wave country agricultural and industrial group."

"Lightning regiment? The Lightning regiment whose reputation is second only to Xuan Yuanzhong and other top mercenary teams?"

Danzo was slightly moved.

The underground black market is a pool of muddy water, and the forces inside are intricate, but they are definitely not weak.

Especially the most powerful mercenary team such as Xuan Yuanzhong, their strength is not weaker than the regular troops of Ninja Village.

Xuan Yuanzhong once defeated Sannin. Although it was a rumor, Danzo knew that this really happened.

And the Lei Guang Regiment, whose reputation was second only to Xuan Yuanzhong, was naturally not some little-known mercenary.

Like Xuan Yuanzhong, the Lei Guang Group has a large number of people and strong strength. They even dare to provoke ninjas from the five traditional powers for money. They are a group of lawless black market lunatics.

As long as they have enough money, they will probably nod and agree without blinking an eye if they are asked to deal with the ghost country that has become the sixth largest country.

Moreover, Lei Guangtuan and Xuan Yuanzhong are also reputable mercenaries.

Once you take over the task, you will definitely complete the employer's task.

This is why the underground black market is favored by many wealthy businessmen and officials.

Regardless of personal and national grievances, faithfully fulfill the contract of the employer.

A group of lunatics who lick blood on the edge of a knife.

"Yes, and not long ago, I arrived in the country of Bo, and met with the agricultural and industrial group. According to some people who bought it, the officials of the ghost country seem to be very unhappy with the senior management of the agricultural and industrial group because of this incident."

The fire country daimyo sneered.

"It is estimated that the Kingdom of Ghosts did not expect this matter."

Danzo couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Compared with money, power is more likely to corrupt people's hearts. After a group of uneducated workers and farmers have mastered such a wonderful thing as power, how can they allow others to dictate to them? It's just that when this kind of thing comes, it's more difficult than me. Faster than expected."

The daimyo of the Fire Nation made no secret of his disdain.

Danzo cannot be denied.

Even he can hardly bear the temptation of power, let alone a group of farmers and workers who suddenly wield the power of life and death.

The best testimony is that they hired the Lightning Corps. They want to get rid of the control of the ghost country, and hope to use the underground black market to organize their own military forces, so as to compete with the ghost country and guard the land that they finally plundered from the nobles. wealth.

This is human nature. Danzo sighed.

I didn't expect that the farmers and workers who had been manipulated by them would suddenly do this to the kingdom of ghosts.

This somewhat pleased Danzo.

The Kingdom of Ghosts completely miscalculated this time.

"What do you mean by name?"

"Select people from the root and cooperate with the agricultural and industrial groups. I gave them a chance to the aristocratic forces of the Kingdom of Waves, but they were useless, so let them disappear completely. Cooperate with the Lei Guang Group, and want to Support the top leaders of the Agricultural and Industrial Corps and become the new dignitaries of the Kingdom of Waves. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Fire will guarantee not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Waves, and allow the Kingdom of Waves to be self-governing.”

Because once the country of fire interferes, the country of ghosts will take the opportunity to make trouble like the civil war in the country of rain.

Even if there is no trouble on the surface, there will definitely be some action in the dark.

Instead of this, it is better to let the Kingdom of Waves be completely neutral and not be controlled by the Kingdom of Fire, but it is also necessary for the agricultural and industrial groups to gain a firm foothold in the Kingdom of Waves and escape the control of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Danzo realized something.

This step of the fire country daimyo is really wonderful.

Although the Peasants and Workers Group obtained the protection of the Lei Guang Group, they were still powerless in the face of the huge monster of the Kingdom of Ghosts. In order to check and balance the forces developed by the Kingdom of Demons in the Kingdom of Waves, more powerful support is needed.

The Nation of Fire is the most suitable support for this strong support.

As long as it is profitable, even an enemy at one moment will become a new ally in the next moment.

"I see, I will send someone to arrange it."

As for why Anbu was not sent there, Danzo is also very clear about the reasons.

If the spies inside the Anbu are not resolved, they will not be able to gain the trust of the daimyo.

And the roots don't need to be so troublesome, because as long as they are ninjas who join the roots, they will be controlled by the curse seal, which can ensure that there will be no accidents.

In addition, the strength of the Lei Guang Group is not weak. If they cooperate with the well-known mercenary Lei Guang Group in the underground black market, as long as they don't face the army of the ghost kingdom, they may not lose in small battles.

"Then..."

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps reached his and Danzang's ears.

A valet trotted over with an anxious expression on his face, as if something had happened that moved him.

"What's up?"

The Fire Nation daimyo squinted his eyes and asked directly without shy away from Danzo.

The attendant knelt down on one knee and said, "Master daimyo, the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo is seriously ill, and the new daimyo will take the throne."

"The Kingdom of Bears?"

The Fire Nation daimyo frowned.

He knew the name of Xiongzhiguo, an ambitious hero who wanted to strengthen Xiongzhiguo.

However, because the geographical environment of the Kingdom of Bears is very awkward, just like the Kingdom of Rain, it is sandwiched between big countries, and if it wants to develop, it must rise suddenly like the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But even so, the name of the Bear Country should not be underestimated.

In the western part of the mainland, the country of Xiong is considered a powerful country among small countries. There is a ninja village organization called Star Ninja Village in the country, which has a certain military strength.

However, the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo was seriously ill, and the new daimyo came to the throne. No matter how you look at it, this is very sudden. The daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo in his impression should be a very strong man, not a person who is greedy for women and overindulging in sex. How could he suddenly become seriously ill, even to the point of abdicating?

"Who is the new daimyo of the Bear Kingdom?"

In any case, the new daimyo of the Bear Country is on the throne, and the Fire Country should send envoys to watch the ceremony.

"It's Princess Zhuji."

Princess Zhu Ji? The fire country daimyo and Danzo were at a loss, a little at a loss.

Although Princess Zhu Ji is a woman, she is well-known in the Ninja world and is the most precious 'treasure' in the hands of the Daimyo of the Bear Country.

In simpler terms, the princess is a commodity. The bear country daimyo is used to win over others, a commodity up for grabs, not a person.

How did a product suddenly become the name of the bear country?

Is it a puppet daimyo brought up by the nobles of the Bear Country?

Only this explanation is the most reasonable.

"besides…"

The valet hesitated a bit.

"Other than that, what else?"

"As soon as this Princess Zhuji came to power, she submitted an official letter of credence to the Kingdom of Ghosts, expressing that the Kingdom of Bear is willing to become a subsidiary country of the Kingdom of Ghosts and accept the full power of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

As soon as the valet finished speaking, the faces of Daimyo and Danzo of the Fire Country became extremely ugly.

"I see, you go down."

The Fire Nation daimyo waved his hand.

The valet nodded and stepped back.

After the servants retired, the hearts of the fire country daimyo and Danzo became extremely heavy.

"Danzo~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It seems that we still know too little about the Kingdom of Ghosts... The Kingdom of Waves is not the first small country they are targeting, and the Kingdom of Bears may have been targeted by them a long time ago. "

Three years, or five years, or even earlier, the Kingdom of Ghosts was arranging the Kingdom of Bears.

The name of the Kingdom of Fire is unknown.

The only thing that is certain is that the Kingdom of Bears definitely did not suddenly decide to move closer to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Being able to replace a daimyo of a country and control the decisions of the daimyo mansion proves that the management system of the Xiong Kingdom is already riddled with holes.

"The matter of the Land of Waves cannot be allowed to fail again. I will contact the daimyo of the Land of Winds. Without the assistance of the Land of Thunder, the Kingdom of Ghosts is a lone army. The Kingdom of Iron, a neutral country, has also recently made a big deal to the Kingdom of Ghosts in the arms business. You are dissatisfied with eating alone, and you can also unite to suppress the kingdom of ghosts."

"yes."

Danzo replied in a deep voice, got up and left with an extremely heavy heart.
