Chapter 181 The actions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure

In the time and space of the Third Hokage, twelve years have passed since the Third Ninja War.

Twelve years were enough time for the great ninja villages to recover from their losses in this war.

Of course, no one wants to give up the hard-won peace and start a new round of war.

However, as Kumogakure and Iwagakure announced their alliance, an invisible battle began.

At this time, the ninja world is like a gasoline barrel that has not been ignited.

All it takes is a little spark and this gasoline barrel will explode.

In the Hokage's office, the fifth generation Jiraiya looked at the information in his hand and showed a contemptuous sneer.

"Kumogakure and Iwagakure are a bit too naive to use such methods to force us."

According to the intelligence, Kumogakure and Iwagakure officially announced that they would give up exporting their respective specialty products to the Country of Fire.

For example, Yunyin Village's specialties: wine, beef and other livelihood supplies.

Specialties of Iwagakure Village: various gems, minerals and other industrial supplies.

The purpose of their two villages is very straightforward, they want to use this method to force Konoha to hand over the resurrection technique.

Regarding this method, Jiraiya the Fifth Generation said that it was completely justified.

"Shikaku, do we still have enough food?"

Shikaku, who is the squad leader of the Jonin class, part-time Hokage secretary, and part-time village military advisor, nodded.

"After our extensive shopping in the past two months, we have no shortage of food and other daily necessities. If we have to spend it hard, we can spend it with Kumogakure and Iwagakure for a long time. Moreover, our country of fire is a big food-producing country, and they want to use it. Yunyin will definitely not succeed by prohibiting the sale of grain and food to us."

"but?"

Shikaku glanced at Jiraiya with a slightly helpless expression, "However, the lack of industrial supplies such as iron ore will affect the combat effectiveness of our ninjas."

"So, can we contact Sunagakure and Kirigakure and buy what we need from them?"

"Yes, but the purchase price may be higher than usual."

"It doesn't matter. As long as they don't take advantage of the situation, the higher the price, the higher it will be."

"knew."

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements."

"yes."

Looking at Shikaku's leaving figure and thinking about the methods of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Jiraiya couldn't help but want to laugh.

They Konoha can't buy things from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, so why can't they go to Sunagakure and Kirigakure?

Although the price may be higher and the quality may not be as good as those from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, it is enough to break the restrictions imposed by these two villages on Konoha.

Besides, if he couldn't buy anything from Sunagakure and Kirigakure, couldn't he buy it from Nidai?

Living people need to travel through quotas, but dead things such as supplies do not.

As long as he prepares enough storage scrolls, he can buy the village's needs for several months at a time.

It's just that space scrolls are difficult to make and relatively expensive.

If you buy too much at one time, the cost of money will be much higher than buying from Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

Therefore, purchasing supplies from the second generation was only Jiraiya's last resort.

He would not bother the second generation unless necessary.

"Next, let's see what other methods Yumogakure and Iwagakure have."

Kumogakure and Iwagakure do have follow-up methods.

They also know that blocking supplies is very unreliable, and this step only shows their attitude, telling them that the two villages are going to take over Konoha, and you little ninja villagers who are just wallflowers can start to take sides now.

At the same time, he is also warning Konoha that they are serious this time, and those who know the truth should honestly hand over the resurrection technique, so as not to make everyone look bad in the end.

"As we expected, there was no response from Konoha."

"Furthermore, our people saw two missions sent out by Konoha. If nothing else, they should be Sunagakure and Kirigakure."

"Well, let's inform Iwagakure and start the next plan."

In Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage Ai waved his hand and began to arrange things for his subordinates.

In Iwagakure Village, the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki also did almost the same thing as Ai.

"I just don't know if Konoha can still be stable under the joint attack of us and Kumogakure."

Standing at a high place, Ohnoki had absolute confidence in Konoha's resurrection technique.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are taking action."

A few days passed, and just when Jiraiya began to suspect that Kumogakure and Iwagakure's actions against Konoha were thunderous and rainy, a new batch of information came.

"Don't panic, Shikaku, let me see what new tricks they have come up with first."

Picking up the information, Jiraiya began to read it.

Just as he watched, his expression became worse and worse.

"Don't these two families want to live with each other?"

With a "pop", Jiraiya angrily slapped the information on the table and said loudly: "They are really capable. In order to grab the task, they actually significantly reduced the amount required to release the task. This is really true. It’s so heartbreaking.”

The number of tasks is not unlimited. One more task for the Ninja Village here means one less task for other Ninja Villages.

The main source of income for ninjas is by completing various tasks.

Once the mission is gone, not only will the ninjas lose their source of income, but even the ninja village will be implicated.

If Jiraiya doesn't handle this matter well, it will really cause a big mess.

"What do Kirigakure and Sunagakure say? It's obvious that Kumogakure and Iwagakure are competing for the mission, and I don't believe Terumi Mei and old woman Chiyo can bear it."

"The information from Kirigakure and Sunagakure may have to wait a while, but I think that since Kumogakure and Iwagakure dare to do this, they must also be confident in convincing Kirigakure and Sunagakure not to jump out and cause trouble. , It’s nothing more than some exchange of interests.”

"You have a point."

Jiraiya nodded, acknowledging what Shikaku said.

Seeing that Jiraiya recognized what he said, Shikaku continued: "So, we can't put our hope in Kirigakure and Sunagakure, we can only find a way to break the situation ourselves."

"Then do you have any good suggestions?"

"There are a few immature suggestions."

"Then you go ahead and say it."

"OK."

Shikaku was silent for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "First, if they want to fight a price war, then Konoha can also fight, and put the price at the same level as theirs. I believe that with our Konoha With the strength of Ninja, at the same price point, customers will choose our Konoha brand.”

"If we engage in a price war like them, wouldn't the price be a bit high?"

Jiraiya was not the fool Orochimaru said he was after all.

He could clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of Shikaku's suggestion.

Let’s not talk about the advantages for now. The shortcomings alone make Jiraiya a little unacceptable.
