Chapter 182 Opportunity

"How long can I hold on?"

Lu Lin asked in a deep voice. Kakuzu also looked embarrassed and carefully calculated in his mind:

"We can only hold out for half a year at best. By then, we will have no choice but to stop production and lay off employees."

"Half a year? That's still plenty of time."

After making a plan in his mind, Lu Lin's frown was smoothed out, and a smile appeared on his face again:

"Everyone, don't worry. The current situation will improve in no time."

Lu Lin's words made everyone present look happy. Could it be that there was a solution?

However, Lu Lin did not say much, so they were no longer curious and started drinking the wine in front of them.

. . . . . .

"This Rain Country is really bold. Do they still want to be our enemy like they did back then?!"

Not long after feeding the other countries, the Fire Nation Daimyo became more and more angry. After so many years, it was fine that the Tea Nation dared to go against them, but what right did you, the Rain Nation, have? Didn't you beat them thoroughly back then?

The Tea Kingdom can’t deal with it for the time being, but can’t it deal with you too?

He decisively delivered a letter to the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. These two countries, like the Kingdom of Fire, had some conflicts with the Kingdom of Rain.

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation spoke sharply. Since the Tea Nation could not be dealt with for the time being, he would destroy the Rain Nation first. He must let the other small countries who were ready to make moves see clearly what the end would be if they were to join forces with the Tea Nation.

Soon, the daimyos of the other two countries who received the letter from the Fire Country also responded one after another, saying that they would join the Fire Country in attacking the Rain Country.

At the same time, the daimyos of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water also issued statements in support of the actions of the three countries, and their words occasionally contained warnings to other small countries.

The capital of the tea country.

After the five major countries issued the statement, the people of Akatsuki, including Yahiko and others, returned to the Rain Country early. They wanted to stand together with the Rain Country.

Now the only ones left are the Tea Kingdom itself, that is, the people under Lu Lin.

Looking at the people present, Lu Lin leaned back in his chair with a serious look:

"What do you think about the situation between the Five Nations and the Rain Country? Should we help them?"

"Tsk, didn't Akatsuki and the Rain Country have any reaction when the Five Nations coalition attacked us last time? I would say we should just let them handle it themselves."

Obito spoke first. He had been dissatisfied with the decision made by Yahiko and others for a long time. This time it was finally their turn, but unfortunately only three countries would send out ninja troops.

"The Rain Country is the first and only country that stands with us. If we do nothing about it, other small countries will also be forced to stand against us under pressure from the five major countries. This will have a huge impact."

Express your objection explicitly.

"So what? They are just small countries, fence-sitters. No matter which side they stand on, it won't have much impact."

After all these years of adventure, Obito also understood that as long as you are strong enough, there will always be people who stand on your side.

"Don't forget, there are too many citizens from the Rain Country working in our factory, and many of them live with people from the Tea Country. If they knew something was wrong in their country, they might leave the Tea Country and go back to contribute to their country."

The original Tea Kingdom did not have many people, and it was able to develop to its current level thanks to the civilians from the Rain Kingdom who were transported here.

Obito didn't know how to refute this. He also understood that at least one-sixth of the people in the Tea Country were from the Rain Country. Even in several cities, most of the people were from the Rain Country.

"Sir, I also think we should help the Rain Country."

Another person stood up and said that he was the manager of City No. 4. More than half of the people in City No. 4 were citizens of the Rain Country. Even his wife was a girl from the Rain Country.

Looking at the expressions of the people below, Lu Lin nodded:

"It seems that most people agree to help the Rain Country."

Seeing that the general direction had been decided, Obito had no choice but to sit down. It was not that he did not understand the general trend, but he was still too young. It was not a bad thing for young people to act on impulse, but someone needed to be there to watch over them.

"Then we should think about how to support the Rain Country. Don't forget that although there are three countries that want to besiege the Rain Country, there are also the Thunder Country and the Water Country. As expected, they should keep their attention on us."

The source of all this matter lies with the Tea Kingdom. The people of the five major countries are certainly not fools. They would not condemn the Rain Kingdom and forget the Tea Kingdom.

"Then we need to assign some people to keep an eye on the movements of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village. We should not send too many troops to the Land of Rain. It would be bad if Konoha turns around and attacks us at that time."

Hatake Sakumo said slowly that when it came to war, he was the most knowledgeable one among those present.

"Okay, but this war is also a good opportunity. We, the Tea Country, must show our might."

Except for a few individuals at the top, almost all of them have integrated natural energy with their own chakra, and have curse seals on their bodies, so their strength has increased exponentially.

"We must make the other five major countries fully understand our threats. Then, we can sit down at their negotiation table and threaten them to lift the restrictions on our trade."

This time, Lu Lin did not want to completely break off relations with the other countries. After all, he had not yet fully mastered his current strength, and he was afraid that if he took action, he would attract the attention of the Six Paths Sage.

The strong aura of Otsutsuki on me might make this old guy attack me.

Kaguya Otsutsuki should have talked to the Six Paths Sage about the threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan, otherwise, why would he have created a pure land to collect the souls of people who had died throughout the ages? Moreover, as long as the Six Paths Sage wanted, these people could wake up at any time and regain the fighting power they had before their death.

Lu Lin didn't want to fight with a man who had been in power for thousands of years. Regardless of whether he could defeat him, if he remembered correctly, the Six Paths Sage's younger brother was still alive and well.

By then, you won’t just be facing the Six Paths.

But it's not that he has no ability at all. He can still use some small tricks, such as the Yin-Yang Escape, which he had never been able to truly integrate before.

That's right, after obtaining the Rinnegan, the power of Yin and the power of Yang were finally completely integrated without any resistance, which also greatly improved Lu Lin's methods.
