Ninja Ice House

Putting aside how many good players have been added to the "Gathering of Eight Heroes", Uchiha Sasuke is wary of Fuma Arashi, Tatsumi and others. Although the factual existence of Iyo Country is not recognized by many orthodox forces, it is not overly rejected.

I don't support or oppose it openly, but I still have a lot of dealings with it in private.

Except Sunagakure Village.

As one of the five most damaged ninja villages, a large piece of the land where it is located has been taken away, and it is a relatively wealthy area. It is definitely impossible to have no opinions.

It's just that if a person speaks lightly, his strength will be greatly damaged, and no matter how much he protests, it will be of no use.

Under this unfavorable situation, with the approval of the ever-strong elder Chiyo, Gaara was finally promoted to the position of the Fifth Kazekage's target, and it was officially announced to the public.

Regardless of whether you are convinced or not, even if you have an opinion privately, you will not directly oppose Gaara.

The renewed rebellion against the Red Sand Scorpions and the birth of Iyo Kingdom were before Gaara took charge. Even if some people hoped that he would regain the lost territory, it would be inappropriate to add the infamy of losing the army and losing the territory to him.

It was under such a situation that the troubled Sunagakure Village finally got on the right track under the leadership of the village chief.

As if overnight, many conflicts in the ninja world were eliminated. With the restraint of all parties, there were finally not so many troubles.

The Konoha ninjas who came to Iyo Country finally embarked on their way back after their injuries were almost healed.

After walking leisurely for nearly ten days, I finally returned home.

After Hatake Kakashi and Yamato submitted the mission, they were immediately received by Tsunade.

"What kind of organization is Iyo Country?"

Tsunade's direct question made Yamato and Hatake Kakashi feel a little difficult to answer.

After thinking for a while, Hatake Kakashi responded:

"It should be a mutual aid association where wandering ninja organizations stick together for warmth. Although it is headed by Uchiha Sasuke and the Eight Heroes, the Zaga Zong and the rebel ninja from the Oto Ninja Village are not very controlled, and the defected Suna Ninja does not seem to be. Someone who will obey orders honestly.”

"If that's the case, it makes sense. Do you think they pose a threat to Konoha Village and the Country of Fire?"

"It's still very weak at the moment. Except for a few masters, the private power is very average. However, the Zahe Zhong's thermal weapons are very strong. They have been operating there for many years and have already built complete defenses. If they want to attack, it will be very difficult. It’s not easy, of course, it’s not easy for Zahe Zhong to fight out either.”

The entire southern part of the Kingdom of Kawa and the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Wind is a war zone densely covered with huge war fortresses. It is not easy for ordinary people to survive there, but it is not easy for the wandering ninjas, down-and-out samurai and others who cannot survive in mainstream countries. For martial artists, it is simply a geomantic treasure.

No matter what you have done before, as long as you contribute honestly, you will have a foothold.

"In Iyo Country, there are signs of establishing order amidst chaos, and it is very dangerous. However, for us, it is not a cause for concern for the time being."

A fledgling "small country" is not worthy of being viewed positively by Konoha ninjas.

Maybe they have great potential, but they cannot develop in a short time.

"Then...from your perspective, do you want to recognize this country?"

"Don't worry, let's see what other people say. Of course, this is my humble opinion. How to do it depends on the Godaime weighing the pros and cons."

"I understand. Put the report down and I'll read it slowly. You've worked hard. Go back and rest first."

"Yes."

After letting the two jounin retreat, Tsunade sighed involuntarily.

Since the establishment of the one-village-one-country order, not to mention the birth of a new country, there have been very few changes in national borders.

Even the five major countries only support puppets and fight proxy wars, and rarely annex directly.

The unlucky ones who were really wiped out were unrecognized wandering ninja organizations, secret ninja villages and other forces, which were rarely involved in the transfer of power in secular countries.

The problem now is that if Sasuke Uchiha, as an orphan of Uchiha, calls on a group of rebel ninjas to form a new country or ninja village, this will set a precedent and it will be troublesome in the future.

Not everyone is qualified to take the position of king. As for the Ninja Village, one must either have the strength and charisma, or have the backing.

What does Uchiha Sasuke have?

How could he get the support of many S-class traitorous ninjas just because his last name was Uchiha?

In fact, Tsunade didn't care if a new country was born, that was what the Daimyo and the Furugi family should worry about.

It doesn't even matter whether the ninja village survives or not. There are too many wandering ninja organizations in the ninja world that need to be wiped out. The "Eight Heroes Collection" and the "Zhahe Zhong" are not the most hateful ones. The "Akatsuki" organization is worse than them. too much.

What really embarrassed Tsunade was that the Uchiha of Konoha Village was gone. The last orphan defected and would rather build a new country and a ninja village than come back. This was a huge blow to the reputation of Konoha Village.

As for arrest or assassination, it's too late now.

"There is also the old man Danzo. It is obvious that he should be showing off his skills at this time. Why did he hold back and send two people to find out the rumors? Could it be that he is seriously injured and on the verge of death, cannot control the situation, and is ready to retire?"

When she thought that the ambitious old guy was dying, Tsunade didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The new generation of ninja has not fully grown up, and the older generation has long been unable to control the overall situation.

While Tsunade was still busy dealing with the general affairs, Sarutobi Asuma, a jounin who was away on a mission, returned.

When he saw the bearded Jonin for the first time in a long time, the guy, who was obviously very haggard, introduced to Tsunade the status of the mission completed during this period.

"Miaomu Mountain has been penetrated, and Ryuji Cave has been drilled under your nose. How many big holes have been broken?"

"Yes. The situation in Miaomu Mountain is very bad, and Longdi Cave seems to be even worse. Although the immortals inside are all alive, but..."

Many of the snakes' sons and grandsons were burned to ashes. On the face of it, the two holy places would definitely not be able to recover for a while.

"It's hard to imagine that there is any force in the ninja world that has a grudge against the Holy Land of Psychic Beasts and would actually do such a heavy-handed thing. It's so scary. It seems I have to inform Sheng Yu. The Shiggou Forest is probably also in danger."

After a pause, Tsunade continued to ask,

"Is there any more important information?"

"According to the survivors of the two holy places, the attacker is not only powerful and knows Susanoo, but also has the Samsara Eye."

"Could it be that it's Uchiha Madara's filthy earth body?"

"Yes."

"It's actually true."

The legendary eye of the immortal is not a myth, but a reality. This is too incredible.

"If this is the case, then the ninja world will be in danger. I didn't expect that there would be such trouble."

When it came to the so-called prophecy that Jiraiya had been talking about for half his life, Tsunade didn't take it seriously at first, but things in the Shinobi World were getting weirder and weirder, so she couldn't help but believe it.

"Miaomu Mountain is not only a sacred place for psychic beasts, but also contains some more dangerous evil creatures sealed inside. I hope they will not come out to harm the world. In addition, it is said that the big snakes in Ryūchi Cave are not simple."

Since there were some things she couldn't figure out clearly, Tsunade directly summoned the psychic beast.

"Tsunade-sama, long time no see, what are you doing?"

A blue and white striped slug the size of an adult dog suddenly appeared. After saying hello, Tsunade asked directly what he thought.

"Are Miaomu Mountain and Shiggou Forest in trouble? Although it is a bit difficult to understand, is it the backlash caused by intervening too frequently and too deeply into the fate of the ninja world?"

The large slug explained very seriously,

"So-called psychic beasts use their own power as a bargaining chip in exchange for chakra support from ninjas. There is no big problem in itself. However, if they use their own influence to guide the development of human beings, there will be endless troubles. In the end, human beings are the In this era, the supreme beings of all things in the ninja world, only you can decide the future fate of the ninja world. If other intelligent creatures take action rashly, it is easy for them to suffer backlash."

Just like in the era of great strife, when the king of supporters fights for hegemony in the world, if you succeed, you will enjoy the blessing of destiny, but if you lose, it will be the end of eternal disaster.

Mt. Myoboku has always been winning. Over the past thousand years, from instigating brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura to rebel against Otsutsuki Kaguya, to the subsequent reincarnations of generations of Asura and Indra, the big toads of Mt. Myoboku have all been revealed. figure.

Based on the things they have done, once something unexpected happens, the backlash of fate will be particularly fierce.

Why did Ryuji Cave suffer disaster? Orochimaru was just an introduction. Because of the intervention of Furugi Bosui, Uchiha Sasuke did not inherit the contract of Ryuji Cave. In other words, those Orochimaru worked hard to make a plan, but in the end they got away with it. Another destiny child, Uchiha Sasuke, didn't play with them at all.

The contract book of Longdi Cave is now in the hands of Feng Molan, and the young man who had high hopes from Gu Shan Bu Shui has never thought of using the power of Longdi Cave.

What's even more embarrassing is that Longdi Cave has already intervened too deeply.

From the curse seal of the Jugo clan to the curse seal of heaven on Uchiha Sasuke, the influence of the snake senjutsu is evident.

But if they lose control, everything those big snakes do will become the seeds of backlash.

The curtain of the final battle has not yet begun, but Longdi Cave, which has placed a heavy bet, is out. If they are not unlucky, who is?

Not only at this time, if Orochimaru cannot be resurrected, the next generation will have nothing to do with them.

The end of being abandoned by the world will definitely be uncomfortable.

"Then...does Shigu Forest matter?"

The large slug was very grateful for Tsunade's concern.

"Don't worry, Tsunade-sama, the existence of Shigu Forest is very special. Moreover, what I do is mainly based on instinct. I basically don't get involved in anything that is too troublesome. Miaomu Mountain and Shigu Forest have done too much and are involved too deeply. , it’s hard to get away. As for me, as long as I don’t take the initiative to provoke him, it’ll be fine.”

Sheng Yu is very strong, and Shigulin's status is relatively detached, and he rarely directly interferes with the affairs of the Child of Destiny.

"Taking chestnuts from the fire, success is a great reward, failure is also painful. I have lived much longer than them, and have seen a lot, so I don't need to take risks and do too many things."

"That's good."

As a fighting partner and friend for many years, Tsunade was unwilling to let Katsuki become the target of an inexplicable enemy.

"Your actions in the Holy Land of Psychic Beasts seem to have many unexplainable taboos."

"These are the rules I have summarized over the years. The giant toad in Miaomu Mountain and the giant snake in Ryūchi Cave are probably known, but they may not pay attention to them. Because they have not experienced a blow for a long time, and most of the unbelieving forces have become extinct. .”

Especially Myobokuyama, who dared to act in the ninja world blatantly under the banner of prophecy, choose spokespersons, and guide the development of the destiny of the ninja world according to his own ideas.

"The prophecy technique is more or less mastered by masters. The degree of accuracy is different, but there is no essential difference..."

"You too?"

"Understood, but almost never used it, let alone used it as the basis for action."

"So that's it. Let me just say, that guy Jiraiya was knocked unconscious by the good fortune that came to his door. It's simply inexplicable."

"Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave have no malicious intentions, but..."

Good intentions and bad intentions are actually two different things from whether the outcome is good or bad, especially whether it is in the interests of the parties concerned.

Even parents will do bad things with good intentions under the guise of doing good for their children, let alone those who have nothing to worry about but have mutual interests?

One person and one slug said, and after a long time, Tsunade realized that there was a bearded person waiting for orders next to her.

"Okay, that's it for today, Asma. You've been working very hard during this period, so just rest more."

"It's okay, Godaime, I can still hold on, young man, full of energy."

Looking at Sarutobi Asuma's dark circles that could not be concealed, Tsunade advised with a slight sigh:

"I heard that you borrowed a lot of money to buy a house and spent a lot on decoration. As a result... the house was burned down and the loan still needs to be repaid."

"Indeed, it makes you laugh. I have had bad luck these past few years."

"Oh, he is also an unlucky boy. Do you want me to write to the bank, explain the situation, waive some of the interest, and give him some grace?"

"No need, Tsunade-sama, if you hold on for a while, I will be able to calm down."

"You... okay."

He knew that this was a strong child, especially one who was unwilling to admit defeat to the forces under the Fusagi family and show cowardice in front of Yuhi Hong.

However, holding on like this is not an option.

Many Konoha villagers who suffered catastrophic disasters in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" lost their real estate and were still burdened with huge loans. The experience really made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears, so Konoha Village discussed with Major Governor Furusugi to make A support plan was established to lower interest rates and extend debt.

In the short term, the burden is reduced, but in the long term the pressure is increased.

Sarutobi Asuma is also one of the poor people. Fortunately, he is a jounin and has strong earning power, so he does not need to accept support like charity. He signs a contract that is not strong in binding ability, but very difficult to test his patience.

"Go back and rest for a few days. It's hard for me to give you dangerous tasks like this. When you recover, I'll have someone help you keep an eye on high-paying tasks."

"Excuse me."

"go Go."

Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.

The former bearded man was also a well-known good man, but in the end, he was still overwhelmed by debt and was almost out of breath.

The Sandaime Izumi knew it, but he didn't know if he would regret it.
