Konoha, my skill upgrade experience remains unchanged

On the battlefield next door, Princess Tsunade just raised her fist and punched out, and the materialized half of the Eight-Tails suddenly turned into blood foam, which turned into red chakra and dissipated!

The defeat of Rock Ninja (Cloud Ninja) is complete! .

Chapter 125 Tsunade-sama does not like war

Konoha Village.

Hokage Building.

"boom!"

A familiar knock on the door was heard, and the Sandaime Hokage closed the drawer with great ease, covering a transparent crystal ball wrapped in shock-proof sponge inside.

"Tsunade, I remember I've told you eight times, knock on the door before you come in-!"

"Don't make me talk after you break down the door every time!!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at the door and complained to his female disciple. He picked up the pipe on the table, put it in his mouth, and exhaled smoke to cover up the redness on his face!

"Also, did you complete the mission so quickly this time? Did you encounter any special circumstances?"

The blonde female jonin who broke into the Hokage's office had a single ponytail tied at the back of her head. Her bangs were lifted up in front of her forehead to reveal a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, and the Konoha forehead protector tied around her waist inadvertently showed off her figure!

She didn't bother with Sarutobi Hiruzen's attempt to change the subject, and responded to her teacher's complaints in her usual nonchalant manner.

"Hey! Hey! Next time for sure!"

"This is just a C-rank mission to defeat bandits. There is no special situation. It is easy for our third team to take action!"

"Lu Wei! Mission report!"

Hearing three footsteps behind her entering the office, Tsunade reached back and took a task scroll from the pineapple-headed Genin. She took two steps forward and slammed the scroll on the pure wooden desk with a "bang".

"There are a total of 57 bandits in this mission, all of them are men between the ages of 17 and 50, and the leader is a strong man in his 30s!"

"We captured two sentries before the battle and used illusion to torture the bandits to get information. We checked again after the battle to ensure that no bandits escaped."

"According to their own account, these people were originally villagers from some surrounding villages, but because of the bandit leader's leadership, they were not satisfied with the poor life in the village, so they simply gathered together and lived a life of luxury by robbing passers-by and surrounding villagers and ravaging their neighbors!"

"In the cell of the bandits, we also found 12 villagers who were imprisoned for not paying them money. They were all beaten and covered with wounds. We have sent them all back to the nearby villages after healing them."

"As for the fifty-seven bandits who committed so many evil deeds, they were all executed on the spot!"

"above!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the scroll with one hand, spread it out on the desk, glanced quickly from left to right, and praised.

"Well, good job!"

"This way, we can give an explanation to the caravans that came together to issue missions. In the future, when they issue missions, they will be more inclined to Konoha!"

The Sandaime Hokage rolled up the scroll and put it aside, then looked up at the four members of Team Three. When his eyes met Uchiha Shinda's, he nodded slightly, and then continued to look at Tsunade!

"Did you see any goods among the bandits?"

"The representative of the caravan that issued the mission came to me and told me that a small iron box was stolen by a group of bandits. If we can find it back, we can double the reward!"

Tsunade turned around and looked at Uchiha Shinda, Nara Shikawei, and Akimichi Choshu, and they all touched their wallets at the same time and responded in unison!

"No!" x4

"The iron box has been chopped up by the bandits!" x4

"Haha! Never mind if you don't have it. Just consider it as an extra benefit for this mission!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, the pipe in his mouth emitting white smoke from his mouth and nose. He shook his head slightly and lamented that young people did not know how to conceal themselves!

"It should be said that we didn't see the iron box, and it wasn't found in the information obtained through torture!"

"After all, it's normal for bandits to destroy supplies, right?"

The Sandaime Hokage narrowed his eyes and showed his rich experience to his disciple!

Tsunade thought of the 3 million taels that were divided up in the bandits' den, pressed the banknotes in her wallet, and ignored the teasing in the Sandaime's words, and just nodded heavily again!

"That's right! Teacher, you are right!"

"When we got there, the bandits had destroyed all the supplies. There was nothing left!"

"Ahem! Then this mission ends here!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and pretended that he had said nothing!

He tapped the pipe with his right hand to knock out the accumulated ash, and with his left hand he took out an encrypted document from the drawer and placed it on the table!

"Tsunade, there's one more thing!"

"The interrogation results of the Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja that you brought back from the Fire Nation capital last time are out!"

"They were indeed privately invited by the nobles of the Fire Nation to come here to perform a mission, but they were also tasked with spying on the internal intelligence of the Fire Nation!"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and focused her eyes on the document that Sarutobi Hiruzen took out. The special mark symbol on it obviously meant that it required a corresponding ritual to open!

"Oh? It's been over a week now, and we've already completed three C-rank missions. How come we just got the results of the interrogation?"

A week ago, on the streets of the Fire Country's noble district, Tsunade and Uchiha Shinda easily defeated the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja, and imprisoned them in a semi-real space created by Uchiha Shinda using Yin Dun, making them sleep unconsciously.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Kuchiki Suzune, Team Three traveled in the Land of Fire for two more days before returning to Konoha Village. When handing in the mission, they handed over the six captives of the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja to the Anbu, the subordinates of the Third Hokage!

Tsunade clearly remembered that Sarutobi Hiruzen had asked the interrogation department to start the interrogation immediately, and the director of the interrogation department, Morinoi Kasen, also promised that the interrogation would be completed within two days!

"There's nothing we can do. After all, their identities are somewhat special!"

"One of the Kumo Ninja is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the modern-day 'BULLB', and the other is the son of the Sandaime Raikage!"

"If it's the Iwagakure ninja, it would be better. But that Huiyan is also an elite jonin of the Iwagakure Village. With three chunins, he can use the joint earth escape technique to fight against Furubi of the Kumogakure Village. Although Yeyue Ai is holding them back!"

"If we torture them forcefully and cause casualties, it will easily lead to the Earth Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom attacking the Fire Kingdom at the same time!"

"For example, the diplomatic missions from the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village arrived six days ago. Although they said they were willing to compensate the village for this incident, they also kept urging the release of the six ninjas as soon as possible!"

"The reason we can get this information now is that the people in the interrogation department worked overtime and used the method of dripping water through a stone to carefully bypass the seal on their brains and extract this information!"

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, put down his pipe, formed seals with his hands, and the chakra in his body flowed to his palms along a certain trajectory, pressing on the special symbol in the middle of the encrypted file with a special frequency!

"Oh!"

After a slight sound, lines of ink-colored words appeared on the document paper!

Tsunade took the information obtained from the torture, scanned it at a glance, frowned slightly, and allowed Uchiha Shin beside her to poke his head out to watch!

"Sarutobi-sensei, it looks like the situation outside is about to get stormy!"

"The Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja are both ready to make a move!"

"Since the mission with Shiba Sairo a week ago, our team has encountered eight bandits outside the village. The number of bandits has at least doubled compared to the past two years!"

0 ······Request flowers···· ······

"Is... the Ninja World War about to begin again?"

"No! Not so fast!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, picked up his pipe and took a deep puff!

"Right now, all countries are still in the stage of testing each other. They are sending elite ninjas to travel around the countries to collect intelligence and prepare for future conflicts!"

"But if any country reveals a flaw, other countries will not miss the opportunity!"

"According to the intelligence collected by the Anbu from various countries, even if a war breaks out, it will probably be in a year or two. Now there will only be small-scale conflicts!"

"One or two years?!"

"Sarutobi-sensei, you're right, aren't you? How could it be so fast?!"

Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in astonishment, somewhat unable to believe it!

"After all, the ninja world has been at peace for more than a decade. It's normal for a war to happen, right?"

Uchiha Shin made a loud noise, attracting the attention of Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Nara Shikawei. The "obsessed with training" Akimichi Choju secretly ate snacks and pretended to listen carefully!

"The long-term peace suppressed the ambitions of many people. Ninjas want more missions, daimyo want to expand their territory, merchants want to sell their goods, and nobles want more land!"

.... .. .......

"Under this general trend, war is bound to happen sooner or later!"

"Or rather, the karma accumulated in the ninja world over the past decade can no longer be suppressed!"

Tsunade listened to Uchiha Shinda's story and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, muttering to herself. The only sound in the room was the slight chewing sound of Akimichi Choju!

"…Cause and effect?"

"boom!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly, applauded Shinda's story, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!

"You're right!"

"The missions in our village are increasing every year, but compared to the increase in the number of ninjas in the village, it is still not enough!"

"This means that we have to seize some missions from other countries in order to maintain the growth of the ninjas in the village!"

The middle-aged Sandaime Hokage lifted the gentle veil covering the Hokage Building and spoke out the stark reality!

"And if we want to snatch missions from other countries, we naturally have to build up our reputation and let the mission issuers form the impression that Konoha Village is stronger than other villages' ninjas!"

"War is the best way to become famous!"

"Which village wins the war will naturally be the more powerful village!"

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's story, Tsunade closed her eyes slightly, and after a moment she opened them again and looked at the Third Hokage, her eyes revealing determination!

"Sarutobi-sensei, this is not right!"

"My great grandfather once taught me that peace is hard-won and we must not start a war without authorization, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer in the end!"

"And even if the mission is insufficient, I believe there must be other ways besides war, right?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's serious face. He looked at Tsunade with satisfaction. He was happy that she could carry out her own ninja way and proud that the concept of peace could be passed on!

"That's right, there is definitely more than one way to become famous!"

"What Konoha Village often uses is another method besides war, and it can be used immediately!"

Tsunade straightened her back and asked seriously!

"What is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table lightly and stated the solution word by word, but his eyes turned to Uchiha Shinda!

"Chu! Ninja! Test!"

Chapter 126: The Slug Princess's Quest for Peace

The Chunin Exam actually has multiple meanings!

Uchiha Shinichi still remembers the Chunin Exam arc in "Naruto". The old Sandaime Hokage stood on the podium and used long speeches to encourage the Konoha candidates. One sentence was particularly important, and it fits the definition of the Chunin Exam!

"The Chunin Exam is a microcosm of the war between the allied nations, and is also equivalent to a war exercise for the allied nations!" - by Sarutobi Hiruzen

The results of the Chunin Exam determine the comparison of the national strength of the ninja village in the eyes of the daimyo and wealthy businessmen, and also determine the direction of their choice in issuing missions!

Therefore, in the Chunin Exam, even the ninjas from the allied countries have to fight to the death, because it concerns the entire village!

From this we can see that beneath the peace between the major ninja villages, there are unconcealed struggles!

"The allied ninja villages usually hold two joint examinations a year for Genin to Chuunin. It is an important occasion for major countries to observe each other's national strength, and it is also an important basis for task issuers from various countries to choose task release points."

"During the final stage of the Chunin Exam, nobles from various countries, wealthy merchants, ninja leaders, leaders of participating hidden villages, and even daimyo will come to watch the exam in person."

"The ninja village that performs well in the Chunin Exam will gain a great advantage in the amount of tasks in the period after the Chunin Exam."

"In other words, teacher, you want Shinuchi and the others to participate in this Chunin Exam, use the overwhelming combat power comparison, and fly the banner of Konoha Village Ninja, so as to obtain more missions?"

Princess Tsunade, with half-closed eyes, watched Sarutobi Hiruzen puffing out smoke while whispering information about the Chunin Exams. She guessed what he was thinking, but there was a hint of disappointment in her tone!

"In this case, wouldn't it still be a task for the allied village? They are economically oppressed, so they can't just sit there and wait for death!"

As a member of the Jonin class, the granddaughter of the Shodaime, a direct descendant of the Senju family, and a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage, Tsunade is inevitably exposed to a lot of politics, and her thinking is naturally broader than that of the average "blindly obedient" Jonin!

As soon as she thought about it, she understood the plan of her teacher, the Sandaime Hokage: to let Uchiha Shin'achi participate in this Chunin Exam, win the victory with his superhuman combat power, and also increase the amount of tasks for Konoha Village in the next six months, thereby alleviating the "task hunger" of the ninjas in the village!

But aren’t these missions all “sucked” from allies and small countries?

By oppressing the allies and small countries and "drinking poison to quench thirst" to maintain the prosperity of the Konoha Village ninja community, wouldn't this force the allies and small countries to the opposite side of Konoha Village, forcing them to take the initiative to declare war on Konoha and fight for a way out?

"Because the trend of war is inevitable!"
