My rights as Hokage are unlimited

Yunyin and Yanyin are not Konoha!

From a strategic point of view, everyone knows that it is correct to forcibly suppress Konoha, which is recovering blood rapidly.If you don't fight now, you won't even have the chance to fight in the future.

But now that the two major ninja villages have lost the war, the large amount of compensation that needs to be paid has become a sharp knife on the necks of the two major ninja villages.

There is money to be lost on the outside, and pensions to be paid on the inside. No matter how powerful the village is, it cannot bear this kind of consumption.

Neither of the two major ninja villages can solve this problem. What they can do is to continue to endure, increase internal taxation, delay the distribution of pensions, and let ninjas go out to do more tasks.

In order for the benefactors to choose themselves, they are even willing to reduce the bounty on a large scale.

In order to stabilize the situation, the senior officials of the two major ninja villages have done countless things, but they still cannot change the instability of the two major ninja villages.

Because of the lack of money and decades of debts, the bottom and middle layers can't see the future, their mentality is unstable, and the number of people leaving is much higher than during the war.

The upper echelon is actually not having a good time.

Everyone gathered to form a ninja village, just hoping to report to the group to keep warm, but the ninja village increased taxes for them... everything can be tolerated, how can tax increases be tolerated!

It can be said that the two major ninja villages have been devastated because of these things these days.

That is to say, Konoha has never launched a large-scale survey of the two major ninja villages, and Kirigakure has also given some support. The two major ninja villages may be...

The war didn't break them, but the reparations and turmoil almost killed them.

"These bastards!"

"It's such a time, and you still come to add insult to injury... such a high interest rate, who can afford it!"

After sending away the bureaucrats of the Kingdom of Thunder, Kirabi slammed his fist on the wall heavily.

Numerous cracks suddenly appeared on the wall.

At that moment, Kirabi was really moved to kill.

Recently, the morale of the entire Yunyin Village has been very low. Naturally, it goes without saying how Qirabbi is feeling after his elder brother was killed.

In Yun Yin, his desire for war is the strongest.

But he forced himself to hold back.

As Ohnoki said when he left, if you can't beat your opponent, you must be patient.

The dead are dead and can never come back, but the living still have to carry on with their faith and continue on.

Yuki, who is also Jinchuriki, also grabbed Kirabi who was extremely depressed.

"Kirabi, calm down!"

"Do you want Master Raikage of the fourth generation to have no peace in the Pure Land!"

Kirabi sat down on the chair dejectedly.

"I know...I know...but..."

The wooden man patted Kirabi on the shoulder and took out a video tape.

"I know you want revenge, so at this time, we must be extra calm."

"Zhou Fangcheng's illusion is really powerful. Master Raikage of the fourth generation was still in good condition at the time, and he didn't fully display his abilities, but because Zhou Fangcheng caught a gap, he died directly."

"But compared to his illusion, what is more frightening about him is that he possesses Konoha, a super war machine—especially now that he has successfully won the loyalty of Konoha and Hisami with our blood and corpses. Even if it weren't for Yakura That rascal……"

"Yakura is a real jerk, but he also did us a huge favor."

"During these ten years, we must quietly accumulate strength, and constantly look for Konoha's weakness... Do you understand what I mean?"

Kirabi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

So, they started watching videotapes together.

This is a movie made by Konoha Shin.

However, they did not steal the video tape, but Yunyin diplomat obtained it directly through serious channels.

Who knows what Konoha was thinking.

Anyway, this thing is what they give away for free.

"To defeat the enemy, we must know our enemy."

"Now... let's get started..."

……

"Onoki, long time no see."

The third generation dressed in daily clothes brought some tea and a box of video tapes to the sandai Tsuchikage Onogi's confinement place.

Although it is actually imprisoned, but after all, it is a former shadow, and finally took care of the other party's dignity.

The whole place of detention is not big, but it is very quiet.

Onoki simply replied a few words.

"You've been in good spirits recently, Sarutobi."

Three generations laughed.

The two fought for a lifetime, hated for a lifetime, and entangled for a lifetime.

Sandai admits that every time he sees Onoki, there is always a secret feeling of a winner.

Onoki can more or less guess the mood of the third generation, but as a loser, he is still willing to gamble and admit defeat.

If you are a bit tougher, you can still look like a shadow, saving some dignity for Yan Yin.

Sitting on the ground in distress like a child, he was looked down upon instead.

"It's nothing, it's just that Cheng made a movie recently."

"I know you're not interested, but for the remnants of our age, wouldn't it be nice to accept new things once in a while?"

Onoki's ears moved, and he thought about it.

……

Danzo backed away from the screen, took a video tape, returned to his secret room, and began to study seriously.

This is a movie by Zhou Fangcheng.

He is well aware of his hostility towards him.

Once he started to look at his stuff, then from a certain point of view, he had already admitted defeat.

But... in the current situation, it is difficult not to admit defeat.

Among the elite Jōnin, Zhou Fangcheng is one of the best, but he is too young.

Danzo has seen many young rookies, many of whom are even better than Zhou Fangcheng.However, under the training of the cruel war, they all became the cold names on the memorial tablet.

When he first chose Zhou Fangcheng, Danzo was somewhat unwilling.But he and the third generation have pulled each other for so many years, and he also knows the temper of the third generation.

Moreover, in terms of the state of the village, the village at that time was really suffering from five labors and seven injuries. No matter who went up, he would definitely have to sit on wax for a few years, and might even have to fight several battles with other ninja villages——As it turned out, his prediction was correct.

This was not what Danzo wanted, so he decisively chose to give in.

But who would have thought that Zhou Fangcheng was also forced to jump around at the beginning, but later, he gradually stabilized the situation... Danzo watched him operate, but he couldn't understand what he was doing.

He seems to be working on something very new.

But these new things really work.

Finally, he recalled that Zhou Fangcheng had restored Konoha's morale and defeated the coalition forces of the other Liangnin Village.

It has been a long, long time since Konoha has won such a decisive victory.

That is, in the end, he was overshadowed by Kirigakure and the five kingdoms together...

During this period, Danzo has always wanted to make a move, but he has never been able to find a suitable opportunity.

After all, if Konoha really perishes, it will be of no benefit to him.

Danzo has always believed that prudence is the virtue of ninjas.For things that he can't understand at all, he would rather be respectful.

But he also understands in his heart that Zhou Fangcheng is gradually reducing his room for display, and Konoha's big and small families are subconsciously moving closer to him.

Even if it is a ninja, whoever controls the finances is the boss.

No matter how cautious you are, something must be done.

So, through some means, he got this tape.

"Let me see, what is the mystery here..."

……

Yakura summoned Terumi Mei and Kisame Kisame, one of the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords.

"Even if you are Mizukage-sama, if you continue to draw red lines for me, I can only refuse!"

"...Why do you think that I must have summoned you because of this kind of thing...Even if it's me, it's okay to have serious things occasionally...Ghost, do you mind wasting a little time and watching a movie with us?"

"I don't care! No matter what kind of task, I will complete it."

"...Don't be so serious."

Chapter 33 The Cold War Begins

Kakashi took a notebook, and walked into a movie theater in the Land of Fire with a certain watermelon rind.

Ah, not watermelon rind.

It's Matt Kay.

Kakashi doesn't like to perform missions with Akai very much.

This is not to say that Kakashi hates him very much. After all, Kai doesn't have any annoying characteristics except for being a little hot-blooded.

He is never picky when eating, never lazy when exercising, and always rushes first when fighting.

Seriously, this is actually a pretty good teammate - but he's way too enthusiastic.

As if you will die tomorrow, you will do your best no matter what you do, even to the point where people don't know what to say.

The most frightening thing is that this guy also likes to compete with him.

Everything has to be compared with him.

Whether it's a serious gymnastics competition, the speed of eating, the number of times of exercising, or even the length of the bottom... What a bastard without a sense of boundaries.

Well, this is also one of his rare friends who can survive till now.

Most of Kakashi's acquaintances died in the brutal war.

In this operation, the reason why Kakashi was willing to take Akai with him was not because he was afraid of Zhou Fangcheng's threat to him. If he didn't take Akai with him, he would arrange a white silk puppet girl and a black silk puppet girl. And a barefoot dummy—or all three.

Fifth Hokage is really a scary guy.

But then again, why does the Fifth Generation attach so much importance to Akai?

It’s fine if you have to bring Akai in this operation. As Naruto’s secretary, Kakashi has access to many top-secret documents.He knew that in the training list made by Zhou Fangcheng, Akai was ranked third.

This so-called training list can actually be simply regarded as a confidant list.

The first is of course his Kakashi.

But cultivating Kakashi is human nature.

After all, Kakashi is a disciple of the fourth generation, and the fifth generation and the fourth generation are not only fellow students, but also friends.

When Zhou Fangcheng didn't have time to slowly cultivate his direct lineage, taking care of Kakashi was a matter of course.But Akai...

Kakashi didn't want to say that, but Akai was basically an idiot in other aspects except for his physical skills, so he probably wouldn't be able to help Fifth Generation.

He is a wooden barrel with only one plank.

Although the guy named Yaoshidou ranked No.2 is also very strange.

Kakashi never understood why Zhou Fangcheng paid so much attention to ordinary orphans in this orphanage.

It is said that Zhou Fangcheng directly increased the orphanage's budget by five times in order to make the director of the orphanage who is a root member betray him.

Then the next day the director of the orphanage came with a cane... Well, strictly speaking, she chose her allegiance.

However, Zhou Fangcheng was outrageous, and he never made mistakes in important matters.
