Konoha vs. One Piece

Chapter 54 Politics
"Oh, you don't have to be so angry, Your Excellency."

Danzo glanced sideways at Sarutobi.

Compared with the indifferent and withdrawn Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzane's communication skills are much better than him.

"My lord, there is nothing we can do about it."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, and said with a worried look.

"You should have heard about Sakumo Hatake. The situation in the village has gone from bad to worse over the years. Even before recovering from World War II, a new war has already begun."

I have to say that Hiruzaru Sarutobi's appearance is really quite deceptive - the daimyo of the land of fire almost believed his evil.

"The new ninjas have not yet grown up, and the war has come, so we have to be forced to return to defense. Anyway, the country of Sichuan is not the land of the country of fire. Kikyo mountain fortress gave up and the shrinking force to protect Konoha is now. The strategy we should do..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was still chattering there, and the more daimyo heard it, the more annoyed he became.

Is this what people say?See what this means, and plan to shrink the troops to protect Konoha. Last night, Luo Sha's troops were pointing directly at the border of the Fire Kingdom. Yesterday, several nobles who were fiefs in that area ran to his mansion with snot and tears. , almost bored him to death.

He actually doesn't like these people at all.The Nation of Fire is a feudal country. The lords in these places have their own officials and their own administrative system. Apart from the need to pay him the name of the Nation of Fire, it is completely an independent small kingdom.

Daimyo naturally does not like his power being dispersed.These feudal lords first exploit the wealth obtained from the farmers in their own territory, and then pay him taxes. He can do nothing with these people, just like Konoha.Therefore, he was even a little inexplicably pleased when these people begged him.

Are you begging me now?Why aren't you as tough as you were when you didn't want to pay my taxes?
That's what I said, but I can only think about it.In fact, he is the biggest lord of the entire Kingdom of Fire.As the leader of this group of feudal lords, he must do something to maintain his prestige in this group and stabilize his own position.

"Alright, alright."

Daimyo interrupted Hiruzaru Sarutobi's endless complaints with a wave of his hand.

"Just tell me, Hokage. How much does it cost?"

...

"Sarutobi, the method is good."

A few days later, the angry and ugly Daimyo finally left Konoha.

Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzane had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Sarutobi Hiruzen not only brought in enough resources from the Fire Nation Daimyo, but also won a favorable condition: let the monks of the Fire Temple also join the battle at the same time.

The daimyo originally didn't want to throw the forces he had worked so hard to cultivate into the bottomless pit of war.But for the current Konoha, as long as the temporary resources can support it, it doesn't matter whether there are resources in the ninja world in the future, which makes many bargaining chips for the fire country daimyo useless.

Danzo rubbed his chin, and the old problem of fighting against dissent began again: "Your Excellency Daimyo has paid too little attention to our Konoha these years, and I don't know how much of Konoha's share of funds has been allocated by using the Temple of Fire. This time Just in time, use them to take the lead and consume the power of the Temple of Fire, and then when they are almost exhausted, we will find another opportunity to wipe out all the people in the Temple of Fire in one fell swoop, which just makes His Excellency Daming some unrealistic thoughts... "

"No, we can't do that."

"?Eh?"

"Danzo, listen to me."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi restrained the smile on his face, looking serious: "Indeed, if you do what you say, Konoha can indeed get the most benefits. However, some things cannot be measured by benefits. "

"Foreign enemies are present, and Konoha deliberately loses in order to preserve more troops and gain more benefits in the world of pirates. However, if the monks of the Temple of Fire throw their heads and blood on the front line, Konoha is pulling behind. If you kill a hero with your hind legs, you will be stabbed in the back."

He lit a cigarette.

"Conspiracies and tricks are beneficial and useful, but they have disadvantages. The fire country daimyo will eventually agree to send monks from the temple of fire to participate in the war, and it also means to use the monks to fight to the death to wrap Konoha."

The negotiation lasted for a few days, and Konoha's attitude was extremely firm. Many of the daimyo's bargaining chips actually failed, and even a fool felt that something was wrong.

The daimyo agreed to join the battle with Honoji, half of which was forced by Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and the other half did not have this meaning.

Danzo was silent.

Grassroots ninjas still have to be born from civilians. Hiruza Sarutobi’s consideration is very reasonable. If the war is lost, you can fight again, but if everyone thinks that Konoha will not resist, then what will the people’s will after the war be? Konoha or the Temple of Fire?If that happens, the Fire Nation daimyo will wake up laughing even if he is dreaming?
The current situation in the ninja world is very interesting.

After capturing the fortress of Jigeng Mountain, Luo Sha stopped fighting.

Yes, no more.

They camped outside the fortress for a whole night, and captured several nocturnal creatures, wild cats and dogs, without even seeing a single person.

In the past few days during the intense discussions between Konoha Hidden Village Shimura Danzo and the fire country daimyo.

Luo Sha just led his troops to rob the manor owner frantically on the edge of the border.

"you!"

puff!
The city lord's mansion, which was made of solid logs, was cut off like a stick under ninjutsu, and the few wandering ninjas hired on weekdays had long since disappeared.

The impoverished Sha Yins rushed in and scraped the ground three feet, and threw all valuable things into the scrolls to seal them away. The city lord looked at the Sha Yins passing through the border like locusts and the things they removed, and felt as if he had been taken away by them. It hurts like a knife cut.

"That's my jewelry, my jade..."

I was very angry, but I had to keep a smile on my face, for fear that the other party would kill their whole family in one go.

Since the founding of the country of fire, there has never been an incident of being invaded into the country.

Due to the existence of ninjas, Konoha used to send troops to such places. Now that Konoha withdraws people, such places are undefended.

"Lord Four Generations!"

"Master Fourth! Let's continue to advance and attack Konoha Hidden Village!"

"Muye Village is a bunch of cowardly fellows, we can completely destroy the Land of Fire!"

After a few days, some voices of doubt appeared in Shayin Village.

Attack Muye Village?
Are you kidding me?
"Konoha must have a conspiracy!"

Didn't you see that Yanyin Village, Yunyin Village, Wuyin Village, all stood still, and Shayin was left as a pathfinder for others like a fool?

Luo Sha has experienced the Second World War, and deeply understands what kind of opponent Konoha is.For such a dangerous enemy, he took all the property of Shayin Village and went crazy to go deep into the enemy's territory.If surrounded by people, the already weak Sand Hidden.You can directly announce your withdrawal from the five major powers.

To put it bluntly, this war is a political blackmail. Sapo rolls up and bites you. If you don't give me money, I will keep biting you. If you bite, you can't fight others, you can only pay me.

But now, Luo Sha has already bitten, but Konoha is lying there like a vegetable, letting him bite.

This instead gave Luo Sha a deterrent, because he didn't know whether the giant Konoha would suddenly grab his throat with his backhand while he was getting closer and closer.

"It's good to make an impact and achieve the goal!"

the other side.

"Konoha must be planning something."

Onoki vowed to follow the high-level Yan Yin in the conference room: "Didn't you see that Luo Shadu was hiding in the Kikyo Mountain Fortress and not advancing? He must have discovered something!"

"Konoha must have a conspiracy!"

The fourth Mizukage vowed to his subordinates: "Didn't you see that Luo Sha didn't push forward? He must have discovered something!"

Three generations of Raikage vowed to his subordinates...

A wonderful misunderstanding, the 3rd Ninja World War, which was about to be fought out of the dog's brain, came to an abrupt end like a choked goose.
