Chapter 622: Although we in Konoha made a lot of money, it was thanks to your help from the Kumogaku

After getting Yan's promise, Ai stopped talking about it and took the initiative to change the subject.

As they chatted, the two talked about the current supply situation in Iwagakure.

Yan had no intention of hiding anything and told Ai directly about the transaction with the Iwagakure.

Such cooperation is a secret before it is completed, and after it is over, it has nothing to do with the word secret.

Saying it openly will not offend or affect anyone.

Besides, it was Ai who took the initiative to ask, and Yan told this matter.

"Before the Five Kage Summit, the village did sell a batch of war supplies to the Iwagakure. The price paid by the Iwagakure was quite high, and they will be carrying debts for a long time to come."

I knew it was your Konoha’s doing!

Ai was speechless.

If it weren't for this batch of supplies, the Iwagakure would have been in a lot of trouble. But at this critical point, Konoha and the Iwagakure reached a cooperation.

"Iwagakure probably doesn't have enough money to buy this batch of war supplies."

Ai quickly put aside the unhappiness in his heart and held a grudge?

Only children care about such things. As the leader of the village, he needs to keep the information in his hands.

Not to mention that Konoha only sold a batch of supplies to the Iwagakure. Even if Konoha and the Iwagakure were mixed together, Ai would have to come to them in a friendly manner to establish a good relationship.

"Indeed not."

Yan did not hide:

"The village needs various ores. This batch of materials is exchanged for ores. In the next five years at least, the Iwagakure Village will need to mine a large amount of ores and send them to Konoha to repay the debt."

You are digging up the roots of the Iwagakure!

Ai looked at Yan with some caution, for he was afraid that he might fall into Yan's trap by accident.

For a ninja village, money is indispensable if it wants to develop.

But there are many ways to make money. Even if you are in debt, you can pay it back sooner or later. At most, the development of the village will be restricted.

But the ore is different.

For villages like Iwagakure and Sand Village, they need to mine a large amount of minerals to repay their debts, which will invisibly hinder the village's development for many years to come.

After all, the land in the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth is barren, and mining is a key economic pillar.

Now that the pillars have been strangled, what development can we talk about?

"Don't think too much. This kind of thing will never happen to the Cloud Ninja Village. The economic income of the Cloud Ninja Village is relatively diversified and it can't be blocked."

The atmosphere in the air began to change, and Yan knew that this old man Ai had increased his level of vigilance against him.

So Yan took the initiative to speak out.

Using mines to strangle the Sand Village and the Rock Village is only possible, but the Cloud Village is not possible at all.

"Besides......"

Yan said with a meaningful smile:

"Besides, without your Kumogakure's relentless pressure, Ohnoki would not have come to me and burdened me with such a debt. After all, Raikage, you are a helper of our Konoha."

Ai: “….”

Your uncle!

If possible, Ai really wanted to kick Yan out. He was taking advantage of her, wasn't he?

Konoha made a huge profit in this wave, but the Kumogami Village suffered a huge loss!

Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they also got into trouble. Now that the Five Kage Summit has been convened, it is still a question whether the war can continue!

The most speechless thing is that the Iwagakure is almost being drained dry. Even if the war continues, the Kumogakure won't get much benefit.

This is very upsetting.

Konoha took a big bite of the cake, and the Mist Village and the Sand Village got some of the leftovers, but these leftovers were not enough to make up for the losses they suffered in the war.

On the other hand, the Cloud Ninja Village didn't catch a single hair. Instead, they were put on a fire rack, hanging in the air, neither going up nor down.

If the Iwagakure was a sponge soaked with water, then at this moment the Iwagakure had already squeezed out all the water, and it would become increasingly difficult to squeeze out more water.

Ai, who was successfully angered, decisively changed his target.

Unfortunately, Yan remained unmoved.

It is impossible to continue supporting your Cloud Ninja Village. This war is over and Konoha will not get involved. You should just slowly negotiate with Ōnoki.

No matter what conditions Ai proposed, Yan showed no sign of being interested.

After several attempts, Ai finally chose to give up and left with Kirabi with a bruised face.

Although he failed to win over Konoha, fortunately, he did not make Konoha turn to the Iwagakure. This is good news that is worthless.

"Kisame, go get some rest. I have something to talk to Shisui about."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kisame obediently left.

Yan gestured to Shisui to sit down and talk slowly.

"Are you depressed?"

"Kind of."

Shisui scratched his head with a wry smile. After thinking about the matter of Killer Bee carefully, Shisui made himself depressed.

He has been wondering, what should he do if he meets a perfect Jinchūriki like Killer Bee?

Ordinary means would definitely not work on these guys who have a tailed beast sealed in their bodies. If even illusions were restrained, he would be very passive. The key point was that he did not dare to use the power of the Mangekyō at will.

I felt like I was being tied tightly by a rope.

It's a bad feeling to have great power but not be able to use it. Anyone would feel frustrated.

Yan could immediately understand Shisui's mood, so he brought up Madara as an example:

"Do you still remember Uchiha Madara's personal documents?"

At the beginning, Uchiha Madara wanted to lead his clansmen to rebel from Konoha, but unfortunately no one followed him. The disheartened Uchiha Madara left alone, and the Uchiha clan also changed its new leader, Uchiha Fugaku's father.

In order to weaken the traces left by Madara, many documents about him were destroyed or hidden, making it difficult for ordinary people to access them.

The Third Hokage also used the same method, which resulted in many new ninjas having only the Will of Fire in their minds, and they didn't even know the specific information of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

"remember."

Shisui had read about these things specifically. Even if he didn't know them by heart, he could at least remember most of them.

"Before the village was established, the Uchiha and Senju were in a truce for a period of time. Do you know why?"

"It seems to be talking about Madara's eyes......"

Shisui was relatively restrained and did not reveal the version circulating within the family.

After all, this version devalues ​​Madara to the point of being nailed to the pillar of shame, and the person who came up with this version is Fugaku's father, the former clan leader.

The reason for doing this is to weaken Madara's influence.

This is the same method used by the Third Hokage to weaken the influence of the Senju Hashirama brothers and strengthen the brainwashing of the Will of Fire.

They are all evil-hearted people, and they all use the same vicious schemes.

"You're right."

Yan smiled and took over the conversation:

"There was a problem with Madara's eyes because he was overconfident and obsessed with the power of the Mangekyō. His use of the Mangekyō Sharingan was also a bit excessive, so there was a problem with his eyes."
