Konoha: My wife is Tsunade.

Chapter 185: Konoha is only one step away from becoming a super hidden village

Some people, if you talk to them about a problem in a nice voice, they will feel that they are extremely important. No matter what the situation is, you must do what they want.

For this kind of person, Chiba's approach is to watch him get sick, wait for the other person to hit his head and bleed, and when he knows that nothing can be done, then decide whether to give him a last chance based on the situation.

If Mito Uzumaki was not from Uzushiogakure, and if Chiba's sealing skills were not mostly from Uzushiogakure, then... Chiba's approach to Uzushiogakure would be even more radical.

In general, Chiba has found a relative balance between personal affection and justice, and can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person.

Because now Chiba no longer represents him alone, the people who unite around him are all a group with vested interests.

And this group is the interest group of the Country of Fire and the Hidden Leaf Village.

It is obvious that Chiba has become the leader in this group.As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. Any behavior of Chiba must be considered for the Hidden Leaf Village and the Country of Fire.

For Uzumaki Hidden Village, surrendering to the Country of Fire and integrating into Konoha Hidden Village through ninja power is their perfect destination in the true sense.

Although it is easier to enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree, becoming a big tree and blending into a big tree is the best choice.

As for the public opinion after Uzushiogakure Village was annexed by Konoha Hidden Village, Chiba didn't have the time to care about it, let alone care about it.

This is easy to explain and easy to understand.

When a country is so powerful that it is all about itself, does it still need to care about the public opinion of other countries?

It's just talk, do you dare to try it?
As for other weak and poor countries, Chiba has no obligation or responsibility to help.

After all, the Creator did not consider fairness when he created humans. Chiba, a mere mortal, was not so great that he could call himself a god and distribute everything in the world fairly.

In life and work, one must see the essence of things clearly, and those who cannot see clearly will become paranoid like Uchiha Madara, deceived by a lie full of loopholes and become the biggest and most ridiculous chess piece.

Egoism never goes out of style.

Of course, Chiba is not so extremely self-interested. He just expanded this scope to the entire Fire Nation, and did not define his ultimate ideal as "world peace".

Because the world can only have nuclear peace, but not peace in the true sense.

Naruto Office.

After eating and drinking, cleaning the house, and joking with Tsunade for a while, Chiba arrived belatedly.

Ignoring the Sandaime Uzukage sitting on the guest sofa, Chiba walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk and said, "Teacher, you are looking for me."

"Is Chiba here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head with a smile, and glanced at the Sandaime Uzukage sitting on the sofa to one side from the corner of his eye, "Uzukage came all the way to express his gratitude to you, why did you come here at this time?"

The words seemed to be blaming, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's gentle tone betrayed his inner thoughts.

Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to cooperate with Chiba, one with a white face and the other with a red face, in order to control the Sandaime Uzukage.

Chiba naturally understood very well, but his tone was still unkind, "I don't need the Sandaime Uzukage to come all the way to thank me. This is something that my Hidden Leaf Village should do to my brother Hidden Village."

After the words fell, Chiba looked back at the Sandaime Uzukage sitting on the sofa, with disdain in his eyes.

"But some people use good intentions as poison. Although I still saved them in the end, the nature has changed."

After hearing what Chiba said, the Sandaime Uzukage's expression was tense and his words were very stiff as he replied.

"Chiba, our Uzumaki Hidden Village has established a friendly alliance with Konoha Hidden Village for generations since the village was founded. We..."

"Don't say that." Chiba interrupted the Sandaime Uzukage, "Although we have been friendly allies for generations, we have also solved the disaster of destroying your village for you.

But before we could resolve it, some of your actions broke our hearts.

So, I’m helping you this time out of past friendship, but from now on..."

At this point, Chiba protracted his voice and shook his head, "In order to prevent your Uzumaki Hidden Village from being suspicious of our Konoha Hidden Village, I think it's better for us to maintain normal friendly neighborly relations."

Chiba finished speaking, and before the Sandaime Uzukage could speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his face and scolded Chiba.

"Chiba, the relationship between our village and Uzushiogakure Village cannot be shaken! Don't say such nonsense!"

Chiba immediately shook his head and retorted, "I don't care. If similar things happen to Uzushio Hidden Village in the future, I will not take action again.

As for how the village makes a decision and how the Uzushiogakure side handles it, that has nothing to do with me. "

"Chiba!" Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the table, "Don't forget, Mito-sama is also from Uzushiogakure Village, and she is also your grandmother."

"Grandma Mito's kindness to me, as well as some hidden kindness that Uzushio Hidden Village has towards me, it's not too much for me to take action once, right?"

Chiba replied with a cold face, paused for a moment, and spoke again, "Of course, in order to avoid being criticized again, if Uzumaki Hidden Village encounters a similar situation, I will take action again."

After saying that, Chiba turned one hand over, and the iron sand kunai condensed by magnetic escape appeared in his hand, and he threw it to the third generation Uzumaki.

"This is my last sincerity. Next time someone tries to take advantage of the Uzumaki Hidden Village, remember to crush it earlier. Otherwise, if the Uzumaki clan suffers too many casualties, it will also be your fault."

Qianye dropped a word and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him, "Chiba, don't leave in a hurry, you haven't even listened to Uzumaki yet!"

"Oh." Qianye stopped, "Uzumaki, please tell me, my son and daughter are making a lot of noise. I'm going home in a hurry to take care of them."

With that said, Chiba walked towards the sofa and sat down next to the Sandaime Uzumaki, looking at him quietly with a pair of golden samsara eyes open.

"I……"

The Sandaime Uzumaki had learned about Chiba's strength. Although he was attacked by Chiba without any precautions, he had no power to resist, and there was no reason to say that he had no power to resist.

Therefore, when Chiba sat next to him, the Sandaime Uzumaki was under great pressure and paused for three breaths when speaking.

"Qianye, I would like to express my previous attitude to you..."

"Don't!" Qianye waved his hands repeatedly, "There's no need to apologize, it's useless."

Chiba choked, and the Sandaime Uzukage's face turned red suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

The Sandaime Uzukage knew clearly that with the number of ninjas in Uzushio Hidden Village.No, the number of ninjas in the Uzumaki clan pales in comparison to any of the five hidden villages.

Although elite individuals can indeed play a decisive role in local battles.But when quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, unless a powerful individual has the strength of Qianye.

Otherwise, when faced with the siege of a large hidden village, or when several hidden villages join forces to siege, Uzushio Hidden Village will not be able to withstand it at all.

So on the way to Konoha Hidden Village, the Sandaime Uzukage had already considered everything.

He did not talk to Chiba anymore, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting behind his desk.

"The Sandaime Hokage, I hope that the village can send some Konoha ninjas to our Uzushiogakure village."

"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked confused.

Seeing this, the Sandaime Uzukage immediately added a few words and made a few conditions, "Sandaime Hokage, please rest assured, we will provide all the life needs for the Konoha ninjas stationed in our Uzumaki Hidden Village, including commissions."

"Do you have that much money?" Chiba said scornfully, "And we sent Konoha ninjas to your Uzumaki Hidden Village. If the Four Hidden Villages continue to plot evil against you, we will be useless if we have fewer people stationed there. If we have too many, …

Are you planning to let your Uzumaki Hidden Village be the fuse and let Konoha and the four hidden villages start the second ninja war? ! "

"How could that be? I definitely didn't mean it like that!" The Sandaime Uzumaki quickly explained, his attitude completely different from his previous one.

This is of course different.

Anyone who has been severely beaten knows that speaking harshly not only hurts the body, but may even lead to death.

Obviously, the Sandaime Uzukage not only suffered a severe beating because of his harsh words, but also almost involved the entire Uzushio Hidden Village.

Now, I can’t get hard anymore!
"Sandaime Hokage, Chiba, I have no intention of dragging your Hidden Leaf Village into the quagmire of war, I just..."

"Stop it." Chiba interrupted him, "In addition to the above problems, there is a more important problem that needs to be solved.

After us Konoha ninjas entered Uzushio Hidden Village, the specific name could not be to accept employment missions, right?

This is a garrison, which is not a good thing for friendly neighbors.

And after you have set a precedent, what will the other small countries that share the border with our Fire Country think? "

Qianye shook his head repeatedly, but soon realized it and slapped his forehead pretending to be annoyed.

"I have a way to get the best of both worlds." Chiba tugged at the sleeves of his shirt. This was the Konoha Jounin uniform he had specially put on. "Look at the Uzumaki symbol on it, does it look familiar?"

"This..." The third generation Uzumaki's expression changed drastically. He had already understood the subtext in Chiba's words.

Immediately, he suppressed his shock and forced a smile, "Qianye, this is a sign of the friendship between our two villages for generations. I am naturally familiar with it."

"Have you ever thought about being more friendly?" Chiba smiled, "Although Uzushio Hidden Village can be said to be a village, its main body is only the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan, and its size is about the same as that of the Uchiha clan.

Even if there are more people than the Uchiha clan, they are not much more.

What's more, wealthy families like Hinata are also living very well in Konoha Hidden Village. Why can't the Uzumaki Clan, who are also a wealthy family and are inextricably linked to the Senju Clan, not be able to? "

Having said this, Chiba patted the Sandaime Uzumaki on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. Maybe this is the best and most mutually beneficial way."

"That's not..." The Sandaime Uzukage wanted to refuse, but he suddenly got stuck in the middle of the sentence and quickly changed his mind, "I need to think about this and discuss it with the clan members in the village."

Seeing that the situation had developed to such an extent, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly jumped out to say good things.

"Chiba, although your idea is good, it is a bit aggressive.

How about you go back first and let me discuss it with the Sandaime Uzukage? "

"This is your business. I'm just here to make up the numbers. I can't take my words seriously." Qianye stood up and prepared to leave. "But the ugly words are ahead. Things can be changed one at a time, but if you repeat it again..."

Although he didn't tell the whole story, Chiba's pressure was finally met.

After saying that, Chiba turned around and left without the slightest nostalgia.

After Chiba left, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the sofa and sat down, "Uzukage, let's not worry about Chiba. He is young and energetic, and many of his words cannot be taken seriously."

While speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the document in his hand and said, "I just calculated the cost of sending 500 Konoha ninjas to your Uzumaki Hidden Village for a long-term mission. You can see if it's appropriate...

I'll arrange the manpower tomorrow. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke beautifully, but when he started killing people, he did not hesitate at all. Calculating all the various expenses, the commission was at least 30% higher than the usual commissions paid by Konoha ninjas when they went out to perform missions.
It might not be obvious if there were ten or dozens of people, but for 500 Konoha ninjas added up, the expense almost made the Sandaime Uzukage almost scream in surprise.

"Sandaime Hokage, can this fee be..."

"This is already a friendship price." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and refused, "This is a long-term mission. You will have to leave the village for at least one year. Without some compensation, no one will be willing to carry out this mission..."

The Sandaime Uzukage babbled, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and looked at the bill in his hand. He cursed himself to the bone in his heart.

If I hadn't been blinded by lard... would the outcome have been better?
Whether it will be easier or not is another matter, but now he has to face a difficult choice.

Either use the small finances of Uzushio Hidden Village to support ninjas for Konoha Hidden Village, which means paying protection fees.

Or merge the whole village into Konoha Hidden Village, and use the short-term pain in exchange for a broader future.

Putting aside the inner persistence and letting Uzumaki Hidden Village merge into Konoha, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

After thinking about it, the Sandaime Uzukage returned the bill to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "I want to see Mito-sama again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled instantly. He knew that the Uzushiogakure Village was only one step away from being merged into Konoha Hidden Village.

As for Uzumaki Mito's attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally very clear about it. She was from Konoha Hidden Village when she married her.

Mito Uzumaki knew this very well.

"Of course there is no problem. I can take you to the Senju Clan right now." Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed, "It's just that I don't dare to guarantee whether Mito-sama will see you."

"I trust Mito-sama to meet me."

"Then let's go over here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, left the Hokage Building with the Sandaime Uzukage, and walked straight to the Senju Clan's headquarters.
