Konoha: My wife is Tsunade.

Chapter 187 Sanshouyu Hanzo achieves the name of Demigod, and the Second Ninja World War begins
Naruto Office.

Chiba was the last one to arrive, but no one had any problem with his tardiness.

He never held any position in Konoha, but in the past few years he has become a full-time nanny. In addition to taking care of the children, he also picks Tsunade up from get off work.

Overall, the life these past few years has been the life Chiba dreamed of.

I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and my family is happy, and there are not so many bad things to worry about. Although the days pass by quickly, there is no regret at all.

"Since Chiba is already here, then... let's get started."

Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and pointed at the documents placed on the table, signaling a secretarial ninja to distribute these documents to everyone.

Soon, a document was handed to Chiba. He lowered his head and glanced at it, already knowing what it was.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"Yesterday, the Rain Ninjas led by Sansho Hanzo fully occupied the Country of Grass, and the Daimyos of the Country of Grass have also fled to the neutral Country of Iron and asked the Daimyos of our country for help, hoping that we would help them regain their country.

After careful consideration, the Daimyo of the Country of Fire sent a document to Konoha Hidden Village today, asking us, Konoha Hidden Village, to assist the Daimyo of the Country of Grass in restoring the country without going into full-scale war with the Rain Ninja Village.

I did not follow the opinion of the Fire Country Daimyo, but refuted it. I felt that the ninja world today is no longer as simple as a conflict between small countries. "

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo who was standing at the front.

It is worth mentioning that Hatake Sakumo has been working hard in ANBU for many years and has been officially promoted to ANBU Minister, while Uchiha Hei has withdrawn from ANBU due to his age, and the position of branch minister is held by the younger generation of the clan.

The powerful Anbu Minister Hatake Sakumo has the authority to participate in all political affairs and secrets of Konoha, and his opinions now carry great weight.

"Sakumo, tell me what you think."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Hatake Sakumo opened the conversation, "I think that we should not take action now about the Ame Ninja Village's large-scale attack on the Country of Grass. Instead, we should prepare for war and prepare for the worst.

In recent years, disputes over patent fees have been easy to deal with in small countries, but the wealthy businessmen in the other four countries have plagiarized our patents wantonly with the acquiescence of the big names of the four countries and the armed escort of the four hidden villages. Many technological achievements and profit from them.

According to ANBU intelligence, in the first half of Konoha 36 alone, the Fire Nation's patent revenue was cut in half, with nearly 70 billion taels of net profit evaporated out of thin air.

This is a large amount of money, and this money that belongs to our country of fire has been stolen by the four major countries through unfair means.

At the same time, in order to collect patent fees, our ANBU ninjas went on more than 36 missions in the first half of Konoha 340, ​​killing 134 special jounin, 11 jounin, and 2 elite jounin.

Although a lot of patent fees were successfully recovered, it was obvious that the losses were also huge.If things continue like this, the four major countries and the four hidden villages will become more unscrupulous and continue to plagiarize the hard research of our Fire Nation.

Therefore, I believe that the invasion of Rain Ninja Village is an opportunity for us, the Fire Nation, to forcibly collect patent fees from the four major countries. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows, "Sakumo, you mean... to declare war on the four major powers?!"

"This is not a declaration of war, but using the Kingdom of Rain as a springboard to better contain the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth." Hatake Sakumo took a step forward, "Lord Hokage, please borrow the map of the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, cleared away the clutter on his desk, and laid out a huge map of the ninja world on the table.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo also raised his finger to point to the location of the Kingdom of Rain, and tapped it emphatically, "Everyone, please see, the Kingdom of Rain is located at the intersection of the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and our country. This is a very important place. Important passes.

In other words, as long as we have control of this place, whether it is the Kingdom of Wind or the Kingdom of Earth, we will hit the snake at the seventh inch.

Because as long as we want to take action, we can quickly use the Kingdom of Rain as a springboard to break into the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth with almost no obstacles.

At the same time, we can also attack the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind through the mainland towards the true north and true west, and form a pincer offensive with the troops from the Kingdom of Rain, causing a fatal blow to the two countries. "

Speaking of this, Hatake Sakumo said with murderous intent, "As long as we occupy the strategic location of the Rain Country, whether we fight or negotiate, the Wind Country and the Earth Country will carefully weigh it."

"That's right." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, understanding what Hatake Sakumo meant.

Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru again, "Orochimaru, what do you mean?"

Orochimaru thought for a moment, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In the first half of this year, patent fee income decreased, and the research funds available to the Konoha Research Department he chaired also shrunk by nearly half, causing many research projects to be shelved. This was Orochimaru's reverse scale.

"Let's prepare for war first. The patent fee issue is a big cake, and the four major countries will never give up so easily.

Since they want to grab something from us for nothing, then naturally we have to give them a little show.

And as Sakumo said, as long as we control the Kingdom of Rain, it is equivalent to controlling the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. Whether it is fighting or negotiating, the initiative lies with us.

only……

We also need to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, so what we need to do now is to be fully prepared for war.

As for this preparation standard, just refer to the standard for our country to prepare for a comprehensive war with the four major powers. "

After hearing Orochimaru's opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not express his position immediately, but looked at Tsunade.

"Tsunade, what do you think?"

Being named by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade's eyes also showed a cold light.

She teamed up with the Akimichi clan to improve the Hyōryō pills based on the Akimichi clan's secret medicine, as well as some of the medical equipment she jointly developed with the Konoha Research Department, which were also copied by the four major countries.

It's just for their own use, and they sell it to others at a price that is % lower than the market price. Such methods are really despicable.

Naturally, the Fire Country can also sell at a lower price, but the profits earned after the price reduction are not enough to make up for the hole in the previous investment in research funds, leaving the four major countries to pick the peach in vain. “Many of the research results of our medical department have been plagiarized by the four major countries, and they have engaged in vicious profit-making practices.

In this way, my opinion is naturally the same as that of Sakumo and Orochimaru. We should take the opportunity of the Rain Kingdom to provoke a war without authorization to give a good blow to the four major countries. "

After Tsunade finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile bitterly. All three of his disciples advocated war, which meant that all ninjas in many important departments of Konoha also agreed to launch war.

After all, having your own interests taken away from you is an unforgivable act in the eyes of everyone.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes bypassed Jiraiya and focused on Chiba.

Jiraiya, like Chiba, is both indifferent within Konoha Hidden Village, but the influence of the former and the latter is very different.

Jiraiya's most important identity now is that of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, and the forces behind Chiba are so complicated that it can't be described as terrifying.

Chiba can represent the opinions of the Fire Nation daimyo, and can also represent the opinions of the Senju clan, Uchiha clan, and Uzumaki clan.

The most important thing is that Chiba's own personal strength and his right to speak are superior to the many forces around him.

Therefore, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, Chiba's opinion can completely determine the strategic direction of Konoha Hidden Village.

Whether it is through war or other means, as long as Chiba takes action, let alone the four major countries, even if the four major nations join forces, it will only be a slightly troublesome obstacle, not a big deal at all.

If Chiba advocated war, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely support it with both hands and feet.

"Qianye, what do you think about this matter?"

“We in the Fire Nation do not steal, rob, or make war profits, and the means of making money are completely normal market behaviors.

However, the four major countries were not as skilled as others and started stealing, robbing and other bad behaviors. This was a naked provocation.

So my opinion is that we should show off our force and give them a blow in the head. "

After Chiba finished speaking his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and began to ask for the opinions of Mito Kadoyan, Kaden Koharu and others.

After asking around for opinions, there was no surprise. All the top leaders of Konoha supported the war against the four major powers.

Of course, the top leaders of Konoha did not declare war on the four major powers from the beginning, but unanimously adopted Hatake Sakumo's previous opinions.

Use the Kingdom of Rain as a springboard to threaten the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind, coerce or defeat them.

As for the remaining Kingdom of Thunder and Kingdom of Water, the former followed the layout during the First Ninja War, while the latter used Whirlpool Island as the spearhead to defend or deter the other party.

After a day of discussion, the specific plan has been fully formulated and is just waiting to be implemented tomorrow.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth also held secret consultations, and their target was also the Kingdom of Rain, a strategic location among the three countries.

As long as the two countries occupy this place, they can unite their forces and threaten the Fire Country itself.Regarding the issue of patent fees, whether they fight or negotiate, they can win greater benefits for their country.

As for the Kingdom of Rain that took the initiative to light the fuse, neither the Kingdom of Fire nor the Kingdom of Wind nor the Kingdom of Earth considered them.

Small countries have no say!

At the same time, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are also preparing for the worst, which is to start an all-out war with the Kingdom of Fire.

It's just that the Fire Kingdom has Qianye, an individual who exceeds the standard, which puts great pressure on the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom. They can only secretly contact the Thunder Kingdom and the Water Kingdom.

The four major countries that had grievances against each other actually reached a consensus on the matter of the Country of Fire. They have each been coveting the huge profits of the Country of Fire for a long time!

Let’s not talk about whether we can win the battle, but even if we lose, the situation faced by the four major countries will be similar to now.

If this is the case, it would be better for the four companies to work together to give it a try. If they win, it will really turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Based on this idea, the four major countries began to have frequent contacts. At the same time, they also invariably launched military preparations for war in order to prepare for the worst.

However, the undercurrents among the five major countries have not reached the Kingdom of Rain. Even Sansho Hanzo is immersed in the fascinating achievements of conquering cities and expanding territory.

Now, in the Land of Rain and Sansho Hanzo, all they can think about is expansion, expansion, and expansion!

After annexing all the surrounding small countries and making your own land comparable to the five major countries, you can think about other things.

After all, the goal of becoming the sixth largest nation in the ninja world is too tempting.

In this way, with the indulgence of the five major countries, the rain ninja advanced all the way and occupied the entire country of Grass. It took another three months to occupy the entire country of Taki, which had almost become the sixth largest country in the ninja world.

For a time, Sansho Hanzo was in the limelight because there were jinchūriki in Takino, and he singled out jinchūriki and defeated them!
The name of the demigod began to officially ring through the ninja world, becoming almost a household name.

After another month of reorganization, the highly motivated Rain Ninja continued to move forward under the leadership of the demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo, and captured the entire Kingdom of Frost in less than two months.

Non-stop, it took less than a month to conquer the entire Tian Country, and it continued to expand towards other small countries in the east.

For a time, people in the ninja world were panicked, and the exiled daimyo of various countries also asked for help from the daimyo of the five major countries, hoping that they could stop all this.

When the Rain Ninja troops invaded the territory of the permanently neutral Iron Country at the beginning of Konoha 37, the five major nations knew that the time had come.

The game between the five major countries has officially begun!
