Chapter 181 Oh, Konoha, my spiritual homeland that I have never seen before!

Bird Country.

A country located between the Wind Country and the Earth Country, this country is famous for its many bird species.

Not only that, there is also a powerful bird summoning beast tribe hidden here, which has signed a contract with the daimyo of the Bird Country for generations, and the Bird Country got its name from this.

After thinking for a few days, Ohnoki finally couldn't hold back his inner anxiety and took the initiative to invite the third generation Kazekage Masa to gather in the Bird Country.

After all, the future of the Hidden Cloud Village is doomed. It will be bankrupted by the three bullies led by Konoha, and then the Hidden Cloud Village will be beaten up with the money of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Miserable

The better outcome is to kneel down and admit defeat, and then go to lick Konoha's ass.

The worse outcome is naturally that the Hidden Cloud Village will be directly destroyed by Konoha.

Although Ohnoki wanted to preserve the Hidden Cloud Village as much as possible and leave them some seeds, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning would definitely not let the Hidden Cloud Village continue to weaken. He had to grit his teeth and come up with funds to rebuild the Hidden Cloud Village. After lying dormant for seven or eight years, there might be a chance for a comeback.

But. The temper of the Third Generation Ai really doesn't look like he can endure hardships.

The Third Generation's head is still not clear. Maybe he practiced physical skills to grow muscles, and the muscles grew into his head and replaced the function of the brain. He was so brainless that he personally endorsed the project of Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd., which directly pushed the Hidden Cloud Village into the fire pit.

After the bubble burst, it was a mess. At that time, all the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village could tear him apart alive.

If his will was weaker, he might have committed suicide to apologize.

So. The end of the Hidden Cloud Village was bleak.

For the foundation of the Hidden Rock Village, Ohnoki felt that he could only win over the Hidden Sand Village to fight against the increasingly powerful Konoha.

As for the Hidden Mist Village, let's not talk about it. The second generation Tsuchikage Mu died at the hands of the Hidden Mist Village.

The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village have a blood feud!

In the future, they may join forces to deal with Konoha, but definitely not now. Ohnoki will never put down his face and take the initiative to seek cooperation from the Hidden Mist Village.

An inconspicuous inn

"Guest, what would you like to order?"

"Bring a pot of good tea, and I'll book the inn for today."

"Yes, sir!"

The owner of the inn lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ohnoki any more. After years of observing words and expressions, the owner keenly felt that the guest who came today was not an ordinary person.

The waiting time was long. Ohnoki sat on the stool and closed his eyes to rest. He squinted his eyes and suddenly found a familiar sign-is that the Konoha emblem?

"Boss, what is that."

Ohnoki pointed to an oval spherical object on the counter.

"Sir, this is a new type of ninja tool produced by Konoha, the Land of Fire. It has a special heating device inside. As long as chakra is input, it can continuously release heat. It is wrapped in a layer of plush on the outside.

In winter, it can be used to keep your hands warm during the day, and you can take off the plush at night and use it to warm the bed. It is better than just burning coal."

The boss took the ninja version of the "warm baby" and demonstrated it.

In Konoha, there are many products that combine ninjutsu and daily necessities. The technical difficulties involved are not high in the eyes of Senju Tobirama, and he is not even willing to invest his energy in these meaningless experimental inventions.

But Uchiha Nan added money.

After listening to the boss's introduction, Ohnoki fell silent.

A few seconds later, Ohnoki suddenly remembered that his own Iwagakure Village was also full of new ninja tools produced by Konoha.

In the commercial street of Iwagakure Village, Konoha opened more and more stores, and Konoha's badges were unknowingly all over the commercial street of Iwagakure Village.

Villagers habitually go to the shops opened by Konoha merchants because the goods there are cheap and easy to use, and there are coupons to be received from time to time. You can get coupons by spinning the wheel to invite friends to buy.

Although it can only save a little money, housewives, facing the expenses of the family, attach great importance to these activities.

Later, the villagers even complained while buying why Konoha did not come to Iwagakure to open a store earlier.

The bookstores in the streets and alleys received financial support from kind-hearted people. The bookstores that were about to close down came back to life, and the shops began to sell magazines published by Konoha.

The magazines are full of humorous and interesting stories, inspiring chicken soup for the soul, and rumors about Konoha.

Konoha is full of freedom and democracy. The people there are wise, brave, and the quality of life is so high that

Some villagers and ninjas in Iwagakure Village who are not determined read these magazines and want to see Konoha, the spiritual hometown they have never met.

When they came to Konoha, they saw it.

It is indeed like this!

The villagers who came back from Konoha promoted the beauty of Konoha.

The air in Konoha is full of fragrance!

An unknown fear grew in Ohnoki's heart. Perhaps even if the Hidden Rock Village joined forces with the Hidden Sand Village to fight against Konoha, it would only be a dying struggle. Konoha seemed to have gone a long way on a new track and was still accelerating.

Ohnoki, the old-school ninja, felt melancholy.

Has the times changed?

When did it start to change?

"The era of the nobles is about to become history, and the era of the ninja is about to come. Ninjutsu should not be a killing tool in the hands of ninjas, but should benefit the whole world."

Ohnoki recalled what Uchiha Nan said when he met him last time.

At that time, Ohnoki did not take these words seriously, but now it seems that Uchiha Nan really did it..

What should the Hidden Rock Village do in the future?

Learn the way of Konoha?

Is this really possible?

Ohnoki fell into thought.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted Ohnoki's thoughts.

"Long time no see, Lord Ohnoki."

"Long time no see."

Ohnoki put away his frown, smiled, and greeted the Third Kazekage Masa.

The boss closed the door of the inn and walked to the back room tactfully.

After a round of greetings, Ohnoki talked about business.

"Kazekage, you know the current situation very well. The Hidden Cloud Village has been calculated by the Hokage. The remaining three ninja villages, the Hidden Mist Village, is hanging overseas, and Konoha is unable to intervene. On this continent, the only ninja village that can pose a threat to Konoha is the Hidden Sand Village, except for the Hidden Rock Village."

"Who do you think Konoha will target next?"

"Maybe the Hidden Rock Village. If the Hidden Rock Village is also calculated by Konoha, who will be the remaining ninja village?"

Mosha's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at Ohnoki

The banquet is not a good banquet... I knew that Ohnoki's sudden meeting with me must be no good, and he wanted to provoke the relationship between the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha.

But, what Ohnoki is worried about, Mosha is also worried.

If the Hidden Cloud Village disappears, can the remaining two ninja villages still be safe?

"Konoha's ambition is definitely not just the Hidden Cloud Village. Their goal is the entire ninja world."

Ohnoki said with certainty.

Mosa was lost in thought for a moment. Konoha had given too much assistance to Sand Village in the past few years. It was an idiotic act to stab Konoha in the back just because of Ohnoki's words.

"Sand Village and Konoha are now allies... He has helped Sand Village a lot, and even your Rock Village has benefited from Konoha."

"This is the brilliance of the Hokage, isn't it?"

"Honey is indeed tempting, but if you continue to eat it, the price you pay is the entire Sand Village. Do you think it's worth it?"

Ohnoki's expression did not change, and he felt bitter in his heart. Konoha and Sand Village were too deeply bound. Empty words will never be as real as real gold and silver. Didn't he decisively stab Kumo Village in the back because of Konoha's billions of taels of favor every year?

Mosa was silent.

The first generation Kazekage created Sand Village with great difficulty, and his master, the second generation Kazekage, devoted his life's hard work to Sand Village. If this foundation was destroyed in his hands, how could he face them after his death?

But. Konoha's assistance is really too good, and Konoha does not owe Sand Village, but instead lends a helping hand when Sand Village is in danger.

"Konoha has helped Sand Village a lot. I can't betray the alliance with Konoha just because of a few words from you."

Mosa thought for a long time and said slowly.

After hearing this, Ohnoki sighed slightly in his heart. Obviously, he had expected this result, so he decided to take a step back.

"No, Mr. Kazekage. I have no intention of provoking the alliance between Konoha and Sand Village. I just want to ask you for a promise."

"In the future, when we go to war with Cloud Village, I hope you Sand Village will not kill us.

Presumably Sand Village does not want Konoha to dominate the ninja world."

"If that's the case, I can agree to your request."

Mosa nodded and agreed to Ohnoki's request. If Konoha really dominates, then the alliance between the two ninja villages will be very different.

Sand Village, which is already in a weak position, will be even weaker. Once one end of the scale is completely tilted, the end can be imagined.

"Also, if Konoha insists on completely destroying the Hidden Cloud Village, if it succeeds, then the next target will probably be our Hidden Cloud Village, and the next target, I don't need to say more."

At that time, we can continue to talk about today's topic. "

After Ohnoki finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup in front of him, looked at Masa deeply, then threw a purse on the counter, and walked out of the inn on his own.

Masa sat on the stool, not knowing what he was thinking, and sat for a long time before getting up and leaving.

Outskirts of Konoha

The weather in early spring is still a bit cold.

The train project that Uchiha Nan has been busy for almost three years has finally started, and as the Hokage, he came here in person to hold the groundbreaking ceremony.

A railway is divided into several lines, connecting two large cities in the Land of Fire. There are not only trains dedicated to transporting goods, but also trains for transporting people. The investment is huge, and it is a long way to go to make a profit just by selling train tickets But the account is definitely not calculated that way. The invisible benefits of the train are what Uchiha Nan values ​​most.

Konoha's transportation capacity, population mobility, and the appreciation of surrounding land prices.

Although this is still a wasteland, as long as the train is built, any PPT can attract a large number of investors to buy land and build houses here.

The construction site is in full swing, and the workers who were born as ninjas are hammering the nails hard with hammers.

Orochimaru wears a safety helmet on his head and shuttles between construction sites. He is now the person in charge of the railway project. Uchiha Nan intends to cultivate him and hand over this major project to Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, if you have any difficulties, remember to take the initiative to speak up."

"Okay, Hokage!"

Orochimaru's rather immature face looked extremely excited, and the dark circles around his eyes seemed to have faded a lot.

Uchiha Nan rubbed Orochimaru's hair with a smile on his face. It was so smooth. He was obviously a boy.

Now Orochimaru and the image of the original Hokage are very different, and can even be said to be two people. At this moment, Orochimaru is bent on using the knowledge he learned from Senju Tobirama to serve Konoha, and he is walking on a broad road.

If Senju Tobirama doesn't instill strange thoughts into him in the future, the perverted scientist version of Orochimaru probably won't appear.

The little man is so good and has a lot of skills!

"Isn't that Jiraiya?"

Uchiha Nan was walking and suddenly saw a familiar figure. Jiraiya was also working as a worker here to earn money?

"Is Jiraiya short of money lately?"

"No, he is a free labor force and wants to use labor to relieve his inner sadness."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with eyes full of pity.

Jiraiya has been obsessed with training in the sage mode of Mt. Myoboku, hanging out with the toads all day long. Recently, he just happened to learn Yu Xiaocheng and return to Konoha, intending to show off in front of Tsunade and win her heart.

"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya is out of love. No, he is not in love. In short, Hokage-sama, Jiraiya is now an excellent worker!"

"Oh~"

Uchiha Kusu understood in an instant that Jiraiya was a sultry and outgoing dog-licker. While he liked Tsunade, he was also a pervert at the same time.

Although these are minor problems and will not prevent Jiraiya from becoming an excellent ninja in the future, they are a taboo in relationships. No girl will like a playboy.

Of course, if you are handsome enough, strong enough, and rich enough. The most important thing is that the girl really likes you, then it is a different matter.

You can ride on as many boats as you like.

There is nothing wrong with fraternity!

Just like Duan Zhengchun and Prince Duan, they were flirtatious but not sentimental. He really fell in love with those girls and his heart was divided into n parts.

A sword has been inserted into the heart and you are still talking about love. This is not true love. What else can be called true love?

Speaking of which, Jiraiya is really an extremely failed dog licker.

Even if she did not appear according to the original storyline, Tsunade only regarded Jiraiya as a companion, and never regarded Jiraiya as a love partner.

Otherwise, there would not have been a sudden appearance of a passerby, Kato Suzan, who established a relationship and became a lover at the speed of light at a speed that Jiraiya could not imagine. If Kato Sudan was not a short-lived ghost, Tsunade would definitely not be single for the rest of her life.

It is unimaginable that girls will take the initiative when facing someone they like.

Uchiha Nan also looked at Jiraiya with pity.

"Since Jiraiya is a good ox and a good worker, then let's use him to our heart's content!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Nan patted Orochimaru on the shoulder and signaled Orochimaru to make full use of everyone's labor force and not to waste it, which is shameful!

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Uchiha Nan returned to the Hokage Building. He still had a lot of things to deal with.

The loyal ministers and generals of the Fire Nation seem to be unable to hold back recently.
