Konoha's New Third Hokage

When he learned that the Wind Country's army had retreated and had given up all its strongholds in Kawakawa, Tobirama understood that the Wind Country had given up on the idea of ​​continuing the war. For the sake of face, he might not say it outright, but it was obviously his intention. Peace was negotiated.In the ninja world today, the Kingdom of Thunder has withdrawn from the war, and the Battle of the Kingdom of Wind is about to end. Other small countries are also happy to see the arrival of peace. The only ones who are still fighting fiercely are the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Water, because of the old grudge between the leaders of the two sides. , Konoha does not need to bear too much pressure. In other words, Konoha can finally withdraw from the battle in the ninja world.It's finally over.Tobirama silently thought in his heart that almost three years have passed since the outbreak of the Ninja World War. The losses in Konoha Ninja Village have been extremely heavy. It is time to take a breather and regain strength.Then, at the combat meeting, Tobirama commended the ninjas who made significant contributions in emergencies, and Masaki Fengmori was the one who deserved the most credit, because he eliminated the enemy's ninja who used magnetic escape and brought back his Corpses, and also blocked the regular army of the Kingdom of Wind for a period of time.Fengmori Masaki accepted it calmly. For him, military merit is the most important thing. For combatants like ninjas, there is nothing more suitable to serve as political capital than military merit.After the third ninja battle, the reason why Namikaze Minato was able to defeat Orochimaru, who had great military achievements, was that besides Orochimaru's evil intentions, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen unhappy, there was another reason that convinced everyone. Lead the disadvantaged Konoha Ninja Village to victory.There are two conditions for the succession system of Hokage. One is designated by the daimyo, which is basically negotiated by the previous hokage and the daimyo. Therefore, if you have a good relationship with the previous hokage, you can complete this condition; and the other is through the trust of the serving jounin. The Hokage cannot completely interfere in the voting. Military merit is an important criterion for gaining the trust of a Jonin. Especially in the future when civilian ninjas rise and the influence of the family gradually decreases, military merit is even more of a criterion that makes people speechless.Feng Senzhenghui had made his own calculations. In terms of military merit, he was probably the greatest among his sect. He lived up to the fact that he risked his life many times to carry out missions and also specially selected those powerful enemies.In terms of his relationship with Naruto and the ninja family, he also inherited part of it from Hashirama. Although there is no family power behind him, he is very close to Sarutobi Hiruzen.While Tobirama is still in office, Fengmori Masaki still has a certain amount of room to operate and continue to increase his influence. By then, the possibility of taking over as the third generation will be very high.Fengmori Masaki feels that the next step is to show his performance in the peace talks of the Kingdom of Wind and win more benefits for the village, especially the veins of chakra metal, which must be obtained by the village. In the chakra science and technology system he envisioned Here, this chakra metal is an important resource.Therefore, when others felt that they could just sit back and wait for the Kingdom of Wind's own logistics to no longer be able to support it and take the initiative to come out for peace talks, Feng Senzhenghui suggested further attacking the Kingdom of Wind instead of just waiting. "As I said in the past, the requirements of the Kingdom of Wind for land cannot be met. This is for living space and has nothing to do with anything else." Feng Senzhenghui said at the combat meeting, "If the Kingdom of Wind is not given to Weakened to the point where they cannot pose a threat, at least for a long period of time, they will soon have different intentions again. Indeed, defense is the safest method, but it also leaves the Country of Wind a chance to quickly recover." "But just If we continue to fight like this, our own vitality will be severely damaged, and we will not be able to severely damage the Kingdom of Wind. If we do this, the price we will pay will be very high." Mito Kadoyan said seriously. "You're right, it's not enough to rely solely on military strikes, but we can start from other aspects." Fengmori Masaki said. "Other aspects," Tobirama said at this time, having been silently listening to the jounin's discussion.Feng Senzhenghui nodded and said: "The purpose of the military strike is to make them passive during the peace negotiations. Even if they cannot be weakened in one fell swoop, they can slowly bleed the Kingdom of Wind from a long-term perspective." "Then you What's your idea?" Tobirama continued to ask. "The first is to take back the land given away when the tailed beasts were divided, and the second is to force the Kingdom of Wind to give up part of the chakra metal veins. The method to be used is to be determined, but this goal must be achieved. The reason is very simple. Fundamentally reduce the Sunagakure ninja The puppet production output of Zhe Village. I believe everyone here knows that the battle in the Kingdom of Wind lasted for so long. On the one hand, the elite of Sunagakure ninjas, and on the other hand, the emergence of puppetry, made up for the lack of combat power with props. In this way, while reducing the weapons of Sunagakure Ninja Village, we can also obtain chakra metal to make weapons." "Do you also want to study puppets? In the battle with Monzaemon, there were three The precious puppets should be considered top-notch in the Sunagakure ninja village, but I'm afraid we won't be able to study them thoroughly in a short time. Even if the research is successful, compared with the Sunagakure ninjas who have already figured out how to use the puppets, we will not be short on our own. The strength of an enemy's enemy will make him a dog," Danzo Shimura pointed out. "I have no plans to study puppets. Although I don't have a detailed plan yet, I have a general idea that this chakra metal should be used in more critical places." Fengmori Masaki said.Seeing that Shimura Danzo was still asking questions, Tobirama waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about the use of chakra metal. At least it makes sense in terms of weakening the strength of the Sunagakure ninjas. Let's continue." "Finally, we have to win over the wind. The peace faction in the capital of the country suppressed the Sunagakure Ninja Village from the national level. The samurai did not have to worry. The only problem was the Sunagakure Ninja Village. In the end, the Ninja Village still had to obey the orders of the country's daimyo, as long as the daimyo did not want to start a war. No matter how much Sunagakure Ninja Village wants to take revenge, it cannot take action." Masaki Fengmori continued. "Then what method should be used to win over?" "We must proceed from the interests of the other party. The purpose of the Wind Kingdom's war is to improve the adverse effects of the country's barren land. Although we cannot give away the land, We can help them through trade. As long as reasonable conditions are given, compared to using huge military expenditures to try to win land that may not be available, stable trade can be obtained with low money. I believe they will make a wise choice. ." Feng Senzhenghui said.Hearing this, the other jounin couldn't help but ponder. If it were them, faced with these two choices, they would basically choose the latter. After all, they can get benefits without dying or paying a lot of military expenditures, even though it may be possible. It's not as good as directly acquiring land, but it's still more cost-effective. "At the same time, we have to show sincerity and let them believe that the Fire Country has no interest in the land of the Wind Country. In fact, I don't think there is any need to say anything about this. Who would think that the Fire Country, which has fertile land, would be interested in the barren Wind Country? The country is interested," Feng Senzhenghui said with a smile.The others laughed knowingly. Indeed, this was something that was beyond consideration. Although the Daimyo of the Fire Country had the idea of ​​invading the Wind Country, it was not because of the land, but because of his own reputation.Fengmori Masaki suggested that Tobirama should persuade the daimyo by saying that there is no benefit. In Fengmori Masaki's view, attacking a land with barren land and occupying it would be of no benefit just to leave a name in history, and he has to worry about it himself. The land he took care of was simply a business that could no longer be compensated. "If we can convince the kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Wind, we can use this to get them to reduce the military expenditures of the Sunagakure Ninja Village. Originally, it was difficult for the Sunagakure Ninja Village to develop because of the land, and it will become even more difficult after the military expenditures are reduced." Fengsen The situation mentioned by Masaki has some clues in the original work. The reason why Sunagakure Ninja Village is willing to cooperate with Orochimaru in Konoha's destruction plan is that the daimyo reduces military expenditures. In order to attract the daimyo's attention, they took the risk. That is Said that the conflict between the daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Sunagakure Ninja Village is an example of this. Masaki Fengmori only needs to let them appear early. "As long as this situation can be maintained and operated properly, over time, the trade of the Country of Fire can gradually affect the economy of the Country of Wind, making it more difficult for the two countries to have conflicts. Moreover, because of the peaceful environment, the internal armaments of the Country of Wind will It's too loose to pose a military threat." Fengmori Masaki said, "These are my general thoughts. I may be a little immature. I'm sorry." "No, that's very good." Tobirama smiled slightly and clapped. , "Okay, the direction of the peace negotiation will be based on the strategy proposed by Masaki. Does anyone else have any opinions?" Everyone shook their heads. Due to the limitations of ninjas, their ideas could not be higher than Masaki Fengmori, Naturally, I couldn't come up with any better suggestions, so this method was finalized.Next, Fengmori Masaki, Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Kagami will command the troops to threaten the Kingdom of Wind, while Tobirama, Mito Kaden, Koharu and others will contact the daimyo and negotiate to send envoys to the Kingdom of Wind. The country began to win over the domestic peace faction, and everything was in progress.
