From ninja to daimyo

Chapter 278 The So-Called Balance

a week ago.

In the capital of the Land of Earth, the daimyo summoned Onoki again.

Onoki floated in on his own rock, but out of respect, he didn't fly in directly through the window, but instead walked in at the main entrance.

The country of land has never been considered rich. The daimyos of all dynasties were frugal people, and they managed the country with sincerity to achieve the current situation. The "Red Rock City" where the daimyo mansion is located is less luxurious than Asuka City, and a little more very simple.

Onoki came to the depths of Hongyan City with ease.

The earth country daimyo seemed to be writing something, and after hearing the movement, he raised his head and said:
"Onoki, you're here."

The two are about the same age and have known each other for many years, but they don't have that much courtesy.

The earth country daimyo didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the letter paper aside to Onoki.

"A letter from the daimyo of the land of fire."

Onoki was also stunned for a moment, and after receiving it, he checked it, and then his face became serious.

The daimyo of the land country said: "The reason for showing it to you is to let you know that the determination of the daimyo government of various countries this time is true. Onoki, the daimyo government has supported Yanyin village for nearly 50 years. I am afraid that this time it needs Yanyin village to support the daimyo." house."

Onoki squeezed the letter paper harder and harder.

In all fairness, since the Ninja Village system, after two generations of Tunokuni daimyos, the daimyos have never been harsh on Yanyin Village. Naturally, Ohnoki will not naively think that this support is only because of selflessness and friendship.

But no matter from the system or human relationship, he seems unable to refuse.

It's not that Ohnoki can't see the changes in the ninja world, nor is he unaware that Yanyin Village, or all the ninja villages in the ninja world, are getting further and further away from Yunyin Village, especially after Yunyin Village controlled the Daming Mansion this time. It was advancing in a way and speed that Onoki couldn't understand.

But he has been avoiding this matter because he is apprehensive and even a little afraid.

He was afraid of Yanyin's embarrassing result of the First Battle of Tianmu Mountain, the various new technologies of Yunyin Village, and even more afraid of the strength displayed by Yunyin Village.

Just as he was afraid of Konoha where Uchiha Madara existed back then.

The Land of Land Daimyo seemed to see Onogi's struggle, and said, "Onogi, I still remember when I was young, the second generation Tsuchikage-dono once mentioned the 'will of stone', saying that the hardest stone in the world is the will of man. , it seems that even the hardest stone cannot withstand the erosion of time."

Onoki blushed and said, "How could I forget the teachings of the first generation and the second generation?"

The daimyo of the country of earth took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Onoki, don't hesitate to do anything, I and the daimyofu will do our best to help you, and spare no effort! And the other three major kingdoms have already replied, and the four of you may be needed to discuss it."

_______________________________
At the secret meeting of the country of rivers, the three shadows were arguing about something.

Ohnoki said:
"Yunyin Village has basically replaced the role of the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Thunder. It is said that not only the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder, but also other cities have stationed ninjas, but it also causes their manpower to be very scattered."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said, "Dispersion is relative. They have the art of heavenly gift, and the deployment of troops cannot be done according to common sense."

Onoki emphasized: "Even if there is a gift from heaven, there must be people stationed in each city. In the previous war, the cities of the five major countries would generally not harass, but this time it is different. Just a few feints can be involved. Lost Yunyin a lot of energy."

Although war is cruel, ordinary people cannot protect themselves in war, but since the ninja village system, even when the ninja war is the most important, the major cities and villages of the five major countries will not harass them. This is an unspoken rule .

Of course, cities in other small countries are not so lucky, and the Land of Rain is a typical example.

In addition, at the level of villages and small towns, the security of large or small countries cannot be guaranteed, and the names of various countries do not care much.

Hatake Sakumo frowned and said, "Hazing a city in a big country? Is the impact too bad?"

The clients of each ninja village are basically from the urban population. This is the first of its kind, even if it is a city in another country, it will have a considerable impact on the reputation of ninja village.

"It's just harassment. It won't really destroy the city"

Ohnoki also knows the benefits. Although the client in his country is the most important, the number of tasks in other countries is also very important. If he really wants to get a bad reputation, he will leave a bad impression on the client in other countries, and the impact will be long-lasting.

At this moment, Sandai Kazekage, who had been silent for a while, suddenly sneered and said, "Are you two really planning to attack Yunyin Village? It sounds like you are about to send out the army someday."

It is not difficult to see from his expression that he is not interested in this.

The three generations of Kazekage and Luo Sha dug sand and dug black and white upside down, exhausting their bodies. It is impossible to say that there is no complaint against the daimyo of the land of wind.

Over and over again, Sha Yin's funds were reduced. Why did Sha Yin work so hard? It was still an outrageous cloud village separated by the entire ninja world, who had always been innocent and strong.

"I, Shayin, and Yunyin are thousands of miles away. Why bother to cross half of the ninja world to provoke Yunyin? What's the benefit? Even if you win, wouldn't your two villages benefit the most?"

If he hit Konoha with both hands, Sand Yin would be quite interested.

Being close, there is a feud.

To be honest, if the daimyo of the Land of Winds hadn't asked him to come, how could he get involved in this kind of thing, wouldn't it be nice to dig sand and sell it to the Kitano Chamber of Commerce?
The price given by Boss Kitano is so good, although digging the sand is a bit tiring, but when I look back and settle the accounts, the daimyo's financial reduction has actually made a profit, and there is still some surplus.

After all, although the three kages all feel the changes in the ninja world, their appeals are not the same. The pressure of the Kingdom of the Wind mainly comes from funds, while Konoha wants to rise again, and Ohnogi wants to prevent the rise of Yunyin. Just like in the past, after realizing that the gap has been opened, he went to stop Konoha.

Now that the daimyos of the Three Kingdoms have come forward to screw them together, it may not be possible to produce a result.

Sunakishi still has to pay Konoha's defeat compensation.

But Onoki, who came here with determination, naturally didn't want to give up.

"Your Excellency Fengying, I know better than you how terrifying Yunyin is, but the longer the time drags on, the lower our chances of winning."

Sandai Kazekage sneered: "Why don't I know, the two listen to the daimyo's words so much? After all, Shinobi Village is not so close to this level. Sandai is still repaying the indemnity of the last war, unable to worry about other things. If you want to send troops to Sha Yin Village with just a few words, I am afraid that both of you are thinking too well, if it is only this matter, what you just said is Sha Yin's attitude, I will go back first."

Saying that, Sandai Kazekage got up and was about to leave.

Onoki didn't stop him, but said in a deep voice, "What if the war compensation for Shayin is borne by the Land of Earth?"

Sandai Kazekage stopped, even Hatake Sakumo was surprised.

"Lord Tuying, are you serious?"

"When did the old man say it was a joke! This is also the meaning of our country's name."

Hatake Sakumo thought of the rumors about the daimyo of the earth country in the ninja world, and he knew something in his heart.

"What a courageous existence."

The Three Generations of Kazekage is neither going nor staying. In the end, the actual interests outweighed the face, and they returned to the negotiating table.

_________________
The exchange on the first day ended, but the three shadows did not leave, but returned to their own residences to discuss countermeasures.

Since there were only three people, Kage and two guards, Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Fugaku simply lived in the same room.

Ninjas really don't care much about these.

After confirming that no one was spying and eavesdropping, Namikaze Minato said worriedly: "Master Hokage, is the war going to start again?"

Uchiha Fugaku also cast a concerned look.

Both of them are Sakumo Hatake's confidantes, and Minato is a direct disciple. Sakumo Hatake did not hide it, and said: "Ah~ I'm afraid it is true."

Namikaze Minato asked, "Why?"

A simple question made Hatake Sakumo silent for a long time.

"If I use the situation to explain it, you probably won't understand it, but now I somewhat understand the thoughts of Sand Hidden and Iwa Hidden. Usually, Konoha always responds passively, because as long as Konoha works hard to develop, he can Become a leader in the ninja village, but now that this role has become Yunyin Village, it is generally the same as what other villages did in the past. Only in this way can the balance of the ninja world be maintained."

Minato thought: "But what's the point of this so-called balance?"

But he didn't say it, because he couldn't give the answer himself.

He will never forget that on the battlefield, how many people of his age were torn to pieces by Yun Yin's eight-tailed jinchuriki with the small tailed beast jade.

Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts were more pragmatic, and he said: "Master Hokage, Yunyin's heaven-sent technique is really difficult to deal with, and we have lost Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how to check and balance the other party's Eight-Tails, and Yezuki Tana A group of strong people."

Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the village has been preparing for many years, and already has a way to deal with it."

　There should be more, but it's too late.
