Naruto: The will of fire has nothing to do with my Uchiha

The eagle-toothed signal communication between the two countries to confirm the exchange takes almost a day at the fastest. Then, we have to make an appointment for a video conference and prepare the equipment for the conference video communication. That means we haven't been running for a whole day.

Naruto's new mission would not start until Tsunade and the Raikage agreed on the meeting place and time. In addition, with the certificate of weakness issued by Sasuke and Tsunade's inspection, Naruto had free time as soon as he returned to Konoha.

The last two Jinchūriki have been publicly declared as targets of war by Uchiha Madara.

Avoid attracting the enemy directly to the village, making Konoha a battlefield again, and send more Anbu to follow wherever he goes. Don't let Naruto show up in the village. Going to Laichiraku Ramen requires a transformation technique, but at least he is allowed to go.

Tsunade had directly informed Naruto of this arrangement, and although Naruto could understand it, the sudden sense of disappointment made the decision to return to Konoha seem somewhat self-defeating. Naruto would not regret it, but he couldn't help but complain a few words.

The Genin would not participate in the war, and a part of the core force had to be retained to guard the village. The border defense was tightened across the board, and the ninja missions were suspended. Even though more than half of the ninjas in the village were transferred away, perhaps because of this reconstruction period, they were initially diverted to the surrounding areas. The number of people stationed in Konoha did not seem to have changed significantly, except that many familiar faces were missing.

Unlike Naruto who was forced to do nothing, Sasuke had no restrictions during his stay and no one to visit specially. All the jonin of Konoha led their troops to the front line to prepare, and the familiar people were basically not there. In addition, in order to regularly throw garbage into the Kamui space, the garbage was getting bigger and bigger, and Sasuke went to charge Kakashi's Mangekyō every now and then, so there was no need to go back to the village to greet him.

Just find a secluded corner to meditate and start remote work.

A day passed in a flash, and Sasuke was called into the Hokage's office again. The video conference between the two Hokages was about to begin.

There are screens, cameras, and wires all over the floor, just like a press conference. The technological equipment used in Konoha's offices is roughly one version behind that of the Land of Lightning.

In some situations, there is no difference between the real body and the shadow clone, but Sasuke's existence is very important. For example, in front of the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha still looks united and good. As for the intelligence system of the Hidden Cloud Village, if the good drama that happened in the Fire City some time ago has not been found out now, it is better to dismantle the intelligence system from beginning to end.

Don't air your dirty laundry in public. After all, which family doesn't have some dirty laundry? If there is no need, don't expose each other's dirty laundry. This is polite.

There was no greeting. As soon as the video was connected, the Raikage glared at us and slammed the table loudly.

"Tsunade, this is different from our plan. You from Konoha actually acted without saying anything. Give me an explanation!"

What can we do now that it has happened? Not to mention across the screen, Tsunade is not afraid of the Raikage even if he is in front of her.

"I assigned Sasuke to complete other tasks at the time, and he didn't know about our plan."

"I got the news halfway and went straight to bring Naruto back."

"He acted too quickly, what can I do?"

"Besides, they dared to attack the Jinchūriki at this critical point. It has been confirmed that it was an assassination organized by them, and they would not let it go."

"Is there anything wrong with completing the work ahead of time?"

Tsunade spoke righteously, not at all worried about her men committing crimes. After all, the main culprit was standing right next to them, with an expression that looked even more indifferent than hers.

"Stop talking nonsense! Where's the stuff?"

"I don't know what you're talking about~"

"The Hokage wouldn't be unaware of the secret treasure in the hands of the Lord of Ghost Lantern City!"

"Secret treasure?"

"Hey~? There is actually such information?"

"The Raikage didn't mention anything about this before the start of this cooperative mission, so should I know?"

The old woman shook her head and spoke sarcastically to the old man.

As for intelligence?

Of course, it was kept secret and no one was honest. Isn't it normal to keep something in reserve regarding diplomatic cooperation? It's the same for both of us.

"Hokage, don't pretend you don't know. If they dare to attack the Jinchūriki, they must have the means to deal with the tailed beasts."

"Although the things that happened in Ghost Lantern City in the past have become rumors, they are also easy to find out. I don't believe you don't know."

"I won't fight with you for the treasure, but it might be useful against the Outer Path Demon Statue that might appear. Don't hide it in your hands when the time comes. We in the Hidden Cloud Village are willing to put all the Six Paths Ninja Tools into use in the war."

If they can't find it after digging three feet into the ground, then it must have been obtained by Konoha. This may be wrong, but the Raikage's judgment is at least more than 50% likely.

"Your Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is just as much his target as Killer Bee, not to mention he calls himself an Uchiha!"

Listening to the Raikage's constant accusations and demands, although they were not excessive, Tsunade also suppressed the frivolity in her words.

"I haven't been to Ghost Light Island. You can ask him for the details."

Tsunade made a gesture to Sasuke. She couldn't ask the Hokage to stand up and make room for him, so the ninja holding the camera quickly adjusted the direction and distance to include Sasuke in the shooting range.

Forget about the treasures. That was an island city. As a master, she would not believe that Sasuke did not gain any benefit from this trip. Wasn't she aware of Sasuke's calculating nature? Even if he did gain any benefit, he would not be deceived by the Raikage. He should deal with his own problems.

Then he listened in disbelief as Sasuke spoke to the Raikage,

"in my possession."

The Raikage had a lot of experience in leadership talks, but he had never encountered such a direct one. He was totally unprepared and didn't know how to respond. Tsunade was also like a fishbone stuck in her throat. It was too late to cover up even if she wanted to after he admitted it directly.

"Don't beat around the bush, just make an offer if you want it."

There is intelligence, after all, intelligence warfare is the basic skill of ninjas, but it is limited to text intelligence. The spy strength of Kumogakure is not as good as that of Iwagakure. Originally, the spy strength of Konoha was stronger than that of Iwagakure. Isn't it that Danzo hiccups? Tsunade has just taken office, and the spy department has yet to be reorganized. Maybe it is really not even as good as Kumogakure. Now the two Kages don't even have a map of the Box of Bliss.

The Raikage originally just wanted to get some information out of Tsunade in the name of "the battle plan needs to be coordinated", and he never considered the option of trading. Naturally, he was interested in the Box of Paradise. Facing Sasuke's call, with the opportunity in front of him, could the dignified Raikage directly refuse and then regret it?

But how can I make an offer when I don’t know anything about it except the name?

So first of all, I have to confirm that what Sasuke said is the same as what I know.

"The Box of Bliss. Since you asked, just tell me what price you want."

"The Box of Paradise has a sealing function. I don't care about anything else in the Hidden Cloud Village except the 'Amber Purifying Bottle'. But if I really want to exchange it for the 'Amber Purifying Bottle', would you be willing to do so, Raikage?"

The Amber Purifier Bottle is a Six Paths Ninja Tool that can seal the tailed beasts, but it is one level higher than the Red Gourd which is also a Six Paths Blade. It is used as a backup sealing method to deal with the tailed beasts. Naturally, the Raikage will not use this "National Foundation" as a transaction.
