Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

"Anbu?"

Orochimaru was very familiar with this title. This was a unit directly commanded by the Hokage. He thought for a while and said: "Aochiji's character is not suitable for staying in ANBU."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly: "The specific reasons are more complicated. I can't tell you at your current age, but I can tell you that I did this for his own good."

Orochimaru didn't ask any more questions and showed a reasonable look: "Okay, I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked satisfied: "Then can you tell me now?"

"Sorry, Sarutobi-sensei, Aokiji has never shown the Sharingan in front of me."

Orochimaru's expression was well controlled, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't notice anything strange.

Although he felt a little sorry for deceiving his mentor, he still respected Qing Zhi's opinion and did not tell the truth.

Perhaps because he trusted his disciple too much, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not become suspicious when he heard the news, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Aokiji possessed the Sharingan, it would be truly terrifying. After all, with his talent, he would definitely have the qualifications to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But just because it’s not happening now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future, so we shouldn’t take it lightly. After all, Aokiji is not very old, so it is not impossible for him to awaken his Sharingan.

Should we send someone to monitor him?

As soon as this idea came up, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately rejected it and gave up the idea. It was not because of any feelings, but because Aokiji was getting stronger and stronger now, and the surveillance was likely to alert the enemy, which would be self-defeating.

What he just said to Orochimaru that he planned to recruit Aoki into the Anbu was not just talk, but a real plan.

Judging from the intelligence, Aokiji has a close relationship with the elder Weasel. If the truth is learned that day, it is likely to become a time bomb. For the stability of the village, it must be stopped before this happens.

Although Aoki's character doesn't seem like someone who would do that kind of thing.

The key question now is not whether he wants to, but whether he has the ability.

And Qing Pheasant is exactly the kind of person who has that kind of innate ability.

Making Aokiji a member of ANBU is, on the surface, a friendly message to the Uchiha family, making him a bridge between the village and Uchiha. In fact, it uses the power of ANBU to allow the team members to control Aoki to a certain extent. Monitor him to prevent him from losing control.

Rather than leaving this time bomb, it is better to place him within a controllable range and train him while he is still young and has little experience in the world.

Chapter 203: The War Caused by Prime Minister Cao in the Naruto Version

Chapter 203: The War Caused by Prime Minister Cao in Naruto Version

The country of grass, Wancheng.

After the midsummer rain, the streets of Wancheng were like Prime Minister Cao, who was walking from shallow to deep with Mrs. Zou. He was surprised to hear that there was a fire around him and ran away all night, leaving only muddy water in the ravines and a wet tree.

But even these are becoming dry and parched as temperatures continue to rise.

Outside the city gate, on this hot day, a group of officials craned their necks and raised their heads in anticipation, sweating profusely as they waited. Among them were even some important figures such as the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.

I don't know how long I waited, but a report suddenly came from the front. A group of officials finally arrived at the target they had been thinking about, arranged their appearance, and put on an expression of waiting for a long time.

Soon, a sedan lifted by eight people came into their sight. There was a large group of guards around the sedan. Such a large formation obviously contained people of high status in the sedan.

The great names of Cao Kingdom led all the officials to welcome him step by step.

The people in the sedan opened the curtain, and a middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the sedan.

The Daimyo of the Cao Kingdom had a flattering smile on his face, and he gave a rainbow fart when he came up. He even said flattering words such as the end of a long drought, completely forgetting that he was also the leader of a country.

But there is nothing we can do about it. These days, a small country has no dignity, especially if it is sandwiched between superpowers.

Being reduced to a chess piece is not scary, but being reduced to a chessboard is scary. The poor geographical location of the Country of Grass is simply a natural chessboard. It is only a little better than the neighboring Country of Rain, but it is limited to this. After all, the Country of Rain There is also a super strong man in the country who is powerful in all directions-Sanshouyu Hanzo.

But his side is full of rotten fish and shrimps. Even ninjutsu relies on stealing and stealing, and it's embarrassing to say it.

For this reason, the Daimyo of the Grass Country spends a lot of time every year trying to please the neighboring Fire Country, so as to avoid becoming a chessboard in the struggle for hegemony between major powers.

Currently, inviting famous people from the Land of Fire to visit their country for free is one of the commonly used diplomatic methods.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the Fire Country daimyo lazily returned to his sedan chair, and entered the Daming Mansion surrounded by officials from the Hay Country. The gongs rang all the way, and the people heard it and moved away to avoid blocking the way.

Not long after, the Daimyo of the Country of Fire entered the banquet carefully prepared by the Daimyo of the Country of Grass.

In the hall, the lights are shining, and the silk and bamboo are playing. These things from the Kingdom of Grass are already waiting for the great names of the Kingdom of Fire to take their seats.

As the distinguished guests took their seats, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass clapped his hands, and a line of servants walked out carrying carved plates of food and presented them one after another. Then there were singers and dancers, singing and dancing.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire yawned. He was a little bored after playing with these things. He thought about returning to his country while the fire was still in progress. At this moment, a beautiful figure caught his eye at the banquet. She was sexy and beautiful. She has beautiful lips and smooth green hair as bright as grass.

Not long after, the woman took the initiative to walk towards him.

The Daimyo of the Country of Fire thought to himself, the Daimyo of the Country of Grass is okay. He actually gave away such beauties. He really spends a lot of time taking care of the Country of Grass.

The woman took the initiative to say hello to the Daimyo of the Country of Fire. After being introduced by the Daimyo of the Country of Grass, she learned that this woman was his wife.

When the name of the Fire Country learned about it, he was stunned for a moment.

wife?

That's really... wonderful.

The name of the Fire Nation was just like this, and the woman successfully attracted his attention.

After the banquet, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was arranged in the best room in the Daiming Mansion. He called his attendants and spoke in a cryptic tone. The bastard got the idea and disappeared in a flash. When he came back again, there was a beautiful woman beside him. She is the wife of the Daimyo of Grass Country.

Seeing this, the great name of the Fire Country said the word "wonderful" several times.

Seeing those hungry eyes, the wife of the Daimyo of the Country of Grass understood to some extent what the Daimyo of the Country of Fire wanted to do.

The Fire Country Daimyo licked his lips: "Do you know why I called you here?"

The wife of the Daimyo of Grass Country shook her head and pretended not to understand.

The Fire Nation Daimyo slowly walked towards her and took his hand.

The wife of the Daimyo of the Country of Grass was flattered and subconsciously shrank her hands. She never expected that the Daimyo of the Country of Fire could be so lustful and bold. However, the target was a Daimyo-level figure after all, and she did not dare to overreact.

When the Daimyo of the Fire Country saw the wife in front of him, who looked like a frightened deer, he felt even more happy and couldn't stop, so he got straight to the point: "I was shocked to see the princess today. I wonder if you would like to share the table and sleep with me tonight?"

The wife of the Daimyo of the Country of Grass stared wide-eyed. She never imagined that the Daimyo of the Country of Fire could be so old and perverted.

The wife of the Daimyo of Grassland bit her red lips with a conflicted expression.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that she is so loyal. Who would think highly of a woman who is just a daimyo from the Land of Grass if she has the chance to become a daimyo from the Land of Fire.

As a seafood merchant who sells the highest-end ingredients, it is just a routine operation to drive up the price of abalone.

As the saying goes, the best is what you can't get.

When the famous name of the country of fire was seen, he was even more happy. After the inducement failed, he started to threaten: "Madam, you don't want your country to suffer from war..."

With these words, the wife of the Daimyo of Grass Country, who was working as a seafood merchant, had a suitable reason to sell abalone. She sighed and looked very embarrassed: "Just living here for a long time will definitely attract the attention of the Daimyo, and it will be hard to criticize her. "

Upon seeing this, the great name of the Fire Country felt happy and waved his hand: "Wufan, I invite you to my residence."

Cao Zhiguo's wife dodges her eyes and says, "I am so lucky to be able to serve the Fire Country's daimyo..."

Not long after this happened, the Daimyo of Grass Country received a message.

The servant reported: "Your Highness, the Daimyo of the Country of Fire has left."

The Daimyo of Grass Country was startled, "Why did you leave like that? Could it be that I didn't entertain you well?"

The servant glanced at his master, thinking that it might not be a lack of hospitality, but over-attentiveness, and hesitant to tell the truth.

The Daimyo of Grassland noticed his servant's hesitation and felt doubtful, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

The servant took a breath and said weakly: "That... when the Fire Country Daimyo arrived, he even picked up the princess."

The Daimyo of the Land of Grass looked confused, and his head didn't turn around for a while.

"The servant continued: "The adult said, thank you for your invitation this time, so this time I specially invite you and your wife to go to the Country of Fire. Because I couldn't find you for a while, I invited the princess to go there first. hope you do not mind. "

The Daimyo of the Country of Grass was stunned: "Can't you find me? How is this possible?"

"Uh... Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not.

"explain……"

"Uh, just, just..."

Even so, the servant still hesitated and did not dare to speak. Seeing his expression of difficulty, the Daimyo of Grass Country was confused at first, and then slowly turned around.

The Daimyo of the Land of Grass, whose head was as green as his own country, suddenly turned red, and his angry eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

"Too deceiving!"

The hysterical roar was like a murderous cry. With a clang and a flash of white light, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass drew out the Japanese sword hanging on the wall, his face filled with murderous intent, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

At this moment, his close ministers hugged the Daimyo of the Grass Country tightly and tried their best to persuade him: "Your Highness, calm down. Don't let small impatience ruin your big plans."

"Calm down! I can't calm down. If you were my wife, would you be able to calm down?!"

The minister was speechless after being confronted for a long time. He finally managed to utter one sentence: "Your Highness, I don't have a wife."

"..." The Daimyo of Grass Country paused and continued shouting, "This is too much! This is too much! I treated him with kindness, but this bastard not only didn't appreciate it, but he even took possession of my wife. This is truly despicable."

"But the power of the Fire Nation is far beyond the reach of our Grass Nation."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the rage of the Grass Country Daimyo. He knelt dejectedly, tears of humiliation welling up in his eyes: "Does this mean that a small country must always be humiliated in front of a great power?"

He was not crying because of how much he loved the princess. What he was really crying for was that he was a great country, but he had to survive in the gap between big countries every day, living in fear and worry. It was really suffocating.

The minister pondered for a moment, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I have a plan. Perhaps it can restore the dignity of the Grass Kingdom."

The Daimyo of the Land of Grass wiped away his tears of humiliation and raised his face: "What can I do?"

The close minister looked around, his eyes revealing an expression of inconvenience.

The Daimyo of the Grass Country understood that the matter was of great importance, so he waved his hand to let the servants withdraw, leaving only two people behind.

When there was no one around, the minister finally uttered the word: "War!"

The Daimyo of the Grass Nation opened his eyes wide in surprise, a timid expression on his face. "The Fire Nation is a hundred, a thousand times more powerful than us. If the Grass Nation rashly declares war on the Fire Nation, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, only to bring about its own destruction."

The fight to the death he just said was just an angry remark. How could his close ministers really believe it and ask him to fight the Fire Nation to the death? Isn't this just courting death?

A close minister analyzed, "If we, as a nation, were to go to war with the Fire Nation, it would be tantamount to seeking death, but if we were to join forces with other nations, that would be a different story."

"Other countries?"

A close minister analyzed, "You know, there are many countries like us that exist between larger nations. For example, the Bird Country, the Taki Country, the Rain Country, and so on. The Rain Country, in particular, has an even worse geographical location than us. The power of Hanzo, the Salamander of the Rain Country, is no less than that of any larger nation, and he's also a very ambitious man. If we small nations unite, then the Fire Country might not be invincible."

The Daimyo of the Grass Nation still had concerns: "The Fire Nation is a vast and deep-rooted nation. Even though it has declined somewhat, its strength remains unfathomable. Even if we unite, it's not a sure thing. Besides, whether we can unite is another matter, and even if we do, we're not a united front."

The minister nodded in agreement: "So, we still need a strong ally."

"Any allies? Who?"

"The Kingdom of Wind."

"The Kingdom of Wind?"

"Correct."

"Why would the Wind Nation help us against the Fire Nation?"

“Because of resources.”

"resource?"

"Although the Wind Nation is vast, most of it is desert, making farming impossible. Food and water are extremely scarce. The Wind Nation has coveted the fertile land of the Fire Nation since its founding. If the Wind Nation is brought into our fold, the Fire Nation will become less invincible."

The Daimyo of the Land of Grass saw that the other party seemed to have more to say, so he did not interrupt and just listened quietly.

The minister continued his analysis, "Of course, even if we bind the Wind Nation, we are not sure of defeating the Fire Nation. I wonder if Your Highness still remembers an incident that happened not long ago in the Land of Earth, Iwagakure."

"whats the matter?"

"One night, the Five-Tails from the Hidden Rock Village suddenly went berserk, causing massive damage to the village and resulting in the loss of many lives."

In addition to being a neighbor of the Fire Kingdom, the Grass Kingdom is also a neighbor of the Earth Kingdom, so the Grass Kingdom knows a little about this matter.

"According to rumors, it seems that this was orchestrated by Konoha. The Iwagakure Village even confronted Konoha about it, intending to use it as an excuse to start a war. Although I don't know why they finally reconciled, I think the Iwagakure Village was more or less afraid of Konoha's powerful strength and didn't want to further increase the casualties of the village. That's why they reluctantly agreed to the peace talks and temporarily suppressed their desire for revenge."

"Your Highness, if the alliance of small nations and the Kingdom of Wind jointly attack Konoha, will the Iwagakure Village give up this opportunity? And with the Iwagakure Village joining in, do you think the other two major nations will also intervene and get a piece of the action?"

"If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to wipe out the Fire Nation in one fell swoop. By then, the four nations of Wind, Earth, Thunder, and Earth will definitely fight to the death for the fertile territory of the Fire Nation.

"At this time, we in the Grass Country only need to sit back and watch the tigers fight. With the help of this wave, we may be able to realize our dream of becoming a great power."

After a thorough analysis, the Daimyo of the Grass Country was moved, clearly convinced. The phrase about achieving the rise of a great power particularly resonated deeply with him, causing even his breathing to quicken. However, he still relied on his last shred of rationality and suppressed his desires, saying, "This is a matter of grave importance. Let me think it over carefully. If we fail, the Grass Country will likely be doomed."
