I super evolved in Konoha

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

The Third Raikage was watching the battle report of the Stone Kingdom battlefield. Suddenly, he stopped moving his hands and said to the empty room, "What's the matter?"

"Konoha sent an envoy to Iwagakure Village."

"Huh?" The Third Raikage looked up at the other party. Although he was a little surprised, there was nothing unexpected.

Since they can send an envoy group to Iwagakure Village, Konoha can naturally send an envoy group to Iwagakure Village.

As for the purpose, of course it is to unite the Iwa Ninja.

"Can you find out what they talked about?"

Seeing the ANBU shaking his head, the Third Raikage also expressed his understanding. If such a secret Nōrō could be found out, then Iwagakure Village would not need to be mixed up and could just be disbanded.

He just asked casually, without thinking about knowing the answer.

"What's the Iwa-nin doing?"

"The third Tsuchikage Onoki secretly sent three thousand ninja troops to leave Iwagakure Village. The specific situation has not been reported yet."

"Three thousand ninja troops?"

The Third Raikage fell into thinking. Three thousand ninja troops were not a small number, but even if they joined forces with Konoha, they would have little impact on the overall battle situation.

After all, in a battle involving tens of thousands of people, having more than 2000 people will not have much impact.

What's more, the combined forces of Konoha and Iwa Ninja are only over 1, and there are more than 9000 Kumo Ninja frontline troops.

"Just say something."

The Third Raikage looked up and asked when he saw that the ANBU had not left immediately after finishing the report.

The Anbu no longer hesitated, "We intercepted a rumor, which has not been confirmed, but if it is true, I am afraid that the Iwa ninja has already sided with Konoha."

"What's the news?" The Third Raikage's tone dropped.

"Konoha used huge amounts of food as a bargaining chip to establish an offensive and defensive alliance with the Iwa ninja."

After a pause, the ANBU continued to add, "The scrolls currently storing food have not been delivered to the Iwa Ninja. Konoha requires the Iwa Ninja to deliver them after the war with us."

Originally, the Third Raikage had doubts about the authenticity of the news, but after hearing this, he was almost convinced.

The scroll is true and the Iwa nin agrees with Konoha's plan!

"Matsuyama, arrange a team to send out with me!"

"Yes!"

……

The next day, noon.

Ohnoki invited Hatake Sakumo and his party to have lunch.

The invitation was private, not so formal, and everyone agreed to meet in a restaurant.

It's not a fancy restaurant, just an ordinary restaurant with only one middle-aged man.

"Just order whatever you want, I'll treat you today."

Onoki said with a smile.

It was not a formal meeting or reception. Everyone acted more casually and each ordered the specialty food in the store.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere is relaxed.

Onoki said seemingly casually, "I have considered your proposal, but it's just that food alone is not enough for the ninja troops to dispatch."

Everyone stopped eating and looked up at Ohnoki.

It was agreed at the beginning that they would deliver the scrolls storing food only after the Iwa ninja cooperated with Konoha to attack the Kumo ninja.

Listening to Onoki's tone, not only do they need to hand over the scroll now, but they also need to provide another batch of strategic materials?

Is it to raise the price from the ground up, or is the lion opening its mouth?

"Lord Tsuchikage, I thought we had reached an agreement."

Hatake Sakumo is a more direct person and he gave all his chips yesterday.

If Iwagakure agrees, then we can discuss the details today. If not, there is no need to meet them again.

Onoki laughed and said, "You also have to consider our difficulties. After all, Iwagakure Village is not as good as Konoha Village."

Pretending to be poor?

begging?

Although Hatake Sakumo understood that this was Onoki's method to force Konoha to give more chips, he didn't know how to refuse.

Because there is nothing else in the village except the scroll that stores a large amount of food.

Kuroishi sat aside. He was just a genin on the surface, and Onoki didn't even give him a look.

But this is in line with Blackstone's strategy of observing in secret.

Kuroishi secretly looked at Onoki, "Does this guy really want to increase the stakes? No, even if Konoha agrees, it will take a long time to wait for things to be delivered from Konoha Village."

"The war between Konoha and Kumo ninja is imminent. If the opportunity is missed, it will be meaningless."

"That means... Ohnoki doesn't really want to increase the stakes."

"His goal is the scroll, right?"

Thinking of this, Kuroishi secretly gave Hatake Sakumo a code word.

It means that he agrees to hand over the scroll to Iwagakure, and other conditions will be discussed after defeating the Kumo ninja.

really!

When Hatake Sakumo offered to hand over the scroll, Onoki smiled happily and immediately agreed to discuss other matters later.

"So... where's the scroll?"

Ohnoki was impatient.

He didn't really want to help Konoha. In order to avoid Konoha regretting it later, he decided to get the substantial benefits first.

"We didn't take the scroll with us, but hid it in a safe place."

Hatake Sakumo explained.

This was a plan discussed from the beginning. Blackstone planned to use this scroll to do one thing.

Onoki also noticed this and praised Hatake Sakumo for being a cautious and steady man. He then asked, "Where is the location?"

"It's within the Kingdom of Grass. Now that the matter has been settled, it's time for us to go back. I'll take you there just in time."

"The country of Taki?"

The country of Taki is located in the center of the world, with the country of earth to the northwest, the country of fire to the southeast, and the country of thunder to the northeast.

Ohnoki vaguely felt it was strange that Hatake Sakumo hid the scroll in Taki no Kuni.

Wouldn't it be safer to hide in the Land of Grass?

Moreover, he received news that Hatake Sakumo and others entered the Earth Kingdom from the Kingdom of Grass. Did they go all the way to the Kingdom of Taki just to hide the scroll?

Although it was a bit strange, Onoki still believed Hatake Sakumo's statement.

After all, no one can be deceived by this kind of thing. He will only go to war after getting the scroll!

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you away."

Onoki smiled, this time he was really happy.

Not only did he get food from Konoha, but he also got strategic materials from the Kumo ninja camp, and it also greatly damaged the strength of Konoha and Kumo ninja.

"It's troublesome."

Hatake Sakumo responded politely.

A meal that is enjoyable and enjoyable for both the host and the guest.

The two sides seemed to have reached an agreement, but in fact they secretly had their own agenda.

……

The battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was no time for Hatake Sakumo and others to stay in Iwagakure Village. They decided to leave after eating.

The Iwa ninja, who had already assembled, were also dispatched at the same time.

But not openly, but secretly.

On the surface, Ohnoki only arranged for two teams to go to Taki Country with Hatake Sakumo and others to retrieve the scroll. Secretly, there were three thousand ninja troops on standby at the border between Earth Country and Taki Country.

On the one hand, it is to ensure the smooth retrieval of the scroll, and on the other hand, it is to be able to enter the battlefield between Konoha and Kumo Ninja at any time from the country of Taki.
