Chapter 35

The two of them were so busy that they had to work together.

Jingyi would not take such a joke seriously, and of course, he would not be foolish enough to agree to it.

It was not that he was stingy, but it was more troublesome to cook for too many people.

And he couldn't always use Kushina's small treasury to subsidize the village's ninjas, right?

The New Year was here, and the ninjas in the camp used limited resources to hold a party to celebrate the New Year, but Jingyi did not join in the fun.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Lying on the bed, Jingyi silently felt the fetal movement of the Samsara Eye.

Konoha, Senju's old house.

"What's wrong, girl? Are you unhappy?"

Uzumaki Mito rubbed Kushina's long red hair. Kushina forced a smile: "No, I'm very happy, grandma."

"Ah~~~"

Uzumaki Mito sighed and held Kushina's hand tightly.

Feeling wronged, Kushina whispered:

"Grandma, I'm not happy. I thought I could spend a lively New Year with Jingyi. He is my only friend, but I didn't expect him to go directly to the border camp.

I heard from sister Tsunade that the weather over there is very bad. I don't know if he is doing well."

"He should miss me."

"......."

What should I say.

Uzumaki Mito opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word of comfort. He could only accompany Kushina quietly.

As for Tsunade and Nawaki........

Nawaki ran to play with his classmates, and Tsunade was called to a meeting.

It was a meeting on New Year's Eve. It was not that the Third Hokage liked to torment people, but he had to hold an important meeting.

In the conference room on the first floor of the Hokage office building, a major meeting was held here.

Except for the Third Hokage, two representatives of the Elders, representatives of the Senior Ninja Class, and other people who were qualified to participate in the meeting, almost all the people in the dojo were present.

Except for those who went out on missions and did not return to the village, and the unlucky Danzo Shimura, the rest of the people were basically present.

The Third Hokage held a pipe in his mouth and smoked boredly.

As the Hokage, he gave a speech: "Today is New Year's Eve. Everyone should spend a good New Year with their families at home, and so should I, but the enemy will obviously not let us have a lively and stable New Year."

"Since last year, the ninjas of the Sand Village have frequently entered the River Country and constantly provoked the village. They violated the peace regulations signed by the five major ninja villages."

The First Ninja World War broke the peaceful ninja world created by Hashirama Senju and tore the peace document signed by Hashirama Senju into pieces.

With the end of the First Ninja World War, the villages began to sit down for peace talks and re-signed the peace document.

As time went by, the strength of each village gradually recovered. Some villages began to show their ambitions, showing their fangs to their neighbors and frequently launching provocations.

The small country sandwiched between the big ninja villages, its existence significance is to become a buffer zone between the two big countries, reduce friction and contradictions between the big countries, and thus reduce the probability of war.

Once one party sends people into the small country as a buffer zone in a high-profile manner, it will be regarded as a provocation by the other party.

At this moment, the Sand Village is provoking Konoha.

It’s just the Sand Village, the Rain Village is not stable either. Under the leadership of the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, the strength of the Rain Village is growing day by day.

Like Shimura Danzo, Hanzo of the Salamander is also an ambitious person.

His ambition is to lead the Rain Village to thrive, become stronger and stronger, and then obtain the qualification to sit on an equal footing with the five major ninja villages.

Let himself be crowned with the honorific title of Shadow!

He doesn’t want to hear others call him the leader of the Rain Village, he wants to be the Rain Shadow!

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette and blowing out a lot of smoke from his mouth, the Third Hokage continued: "In addition to the Sand Village, the Rain Village, led by Hanzo, has also frequently tested the bottom line of the village. This demigod is an ambitious leader."

"Compared to the Rain Village, the village should pay more attention to the Sand Village." Utatane Koharu took over the words of the Third Hokage.

"The Rain Village is strong, but it is only strong among small countries. Even with the demigod Hanzo, it cannot threaten the village, so the focus of our village's defense should be the Sand Village."

Hanzo is very powerful. Without sufficient strength, he dare not call himself a demigod, but it is useless to be strong alone. Unless you can become the second Hashirama Senju or the second Uchiha Madara, you can't deter others at all.

The powerful Hanzo leads the Rain Village, which can only threaten other small countries and villages, and cannot threaten the five

The status of the big ninja village.

Because the two sides are not on the same level in terms of size.

It is useless for one person to be strong, let alone the Rain Village, even if it is placed in the five major ninja villages.

The former Senju Tobirama was strong enough, Konoha was not weak either, and the combination of the two still could not deter those ambitious people.

Brother Jinyin said to launch a coup and launch a coup, and said to launch a war and launch a war, who cares about you Senju Tobirama.

If it were Senju Hashirama, Brother Jinyin would definitely lie down obediently, but you Senju Tobirama are nothing.

By the same token, among the leaders of the five major ninja villages, the third generation Raikage can be said to be the most terrifying and difficult one, and the overall strength of the Cloud Village is not weak, so the question is, can the Cloud Village suppress the other villages?

Let alone suppressing everything, a great wild wood and a rock village are enough to give the Cloud Village a headache.

So no matter how much the Rain Village jumps, it is just a clown. Only the Sand Village is worthy of Konoha's attention.

It is right to pay attention to the Sand Village, but the question is how to pay attention to it?

It is not possible to send people to the River Country to provoke the other party immediately after being provoked by the Sand Village.

Everyone looked at the Third Hokage, wanting to know how their Hokage-sama views this issue.

"The village cannot passively defend. Since the enemy has already taken action, we should also move. Being passive will only make the opponent worse."

The Third Hokage's words basically mean that Konoha will fight back.

As for how to fight back, it still needs to be discussed.

"Hokage-sama, rashly sending people to the River Country is not the best choice."

As the Hokage's strategist and the squad leader of the Jounin class, Nara Shikako put forward his own suggestions: "The enemy is provoking us, we should fight back, but we should start from other aspects, instead of learning from the Sand Village and invading the River Country."

Nara Shikako's words attracted everyone's attention.

The Third Hokage hesitated and said, "Lu Xin, do you mean the Rain Country?"

The Third Hokage's ability to sit firmly on the throne of Hokage is beyond doubt, and his political sense is also sensitive.

Isn't the Sand Village provoking?

The Rain Village is also not stable, why not send people into the Rain Country to stimulate the nerves of the Sand Village and let the Sand Village focus on the Rain Country.

With the invasion of Konoha and the Sand Village, the development of the Rain Village and the ambition of Hanzo of the Salamander can also be suppressed.

"I think Lu Xin's idea is very good. Since he responded to the provocation of the Sand Village, he can also suppress the development and ambition of the Rain Village."

"As expected of the person with the smartest brain, he can connect the Rain Village and the Sand Village with a few words."

Many people in the meeting room whispered.

Tsunade, with her arms crossed, frowned as she listened:

"Everyone, Senior Lu Xin's proposal is very good. If nothing goes wrong, it can divert the attention of the Sand Village to the Rain Country. With the entry of the village and the Sand Village, the development of the Rain Village will definitely be affected. So have you thought about the reaction of the Rock Village?"

Why did the Sand Village provoke Konoha in the River Country instead of going to the Rain Village? Is the Sand Village afraid of the Rain Village and the Salamander Hanzo?

No, it's just that the Sand Village or the Third Kazekage doesn't want to provoke two powerful enemies at once.

Provoking in the River Country only provokes Konoha, and provoking in the Rain Country will not only make Konoha nervous, but also the nerves of the Rock Village will be stimulated.

After all, the Rain Country borders the Fire Country, the Wind Country, and the Earth Country at the same time. Once one party is active here, it is equivalent to provoking two powerful opponents.

Don't formulate a strategy against the Sand Village and the Rain Village, and end up dragging the Rock Village in.
