Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

The conflict between Yuya and the Raikage, or rather, between Konoha Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, lasted for a long time.

At least, that's how the war between the two sides appears in the eyes of the people.

But for many nobles, kings, and daimyo who have their own intelligence agencies, it is a completely different matter.

What the hell are you guys fighting about?!

In Konoha Village, Youya asked a group of reporters to go to the so-called "front line" to shoot a bunch of inexplicable scenes.

These scenes include but are not limited to calling a person who can walk very fast but has a heavy plaster cast on his foot to shoot a video.

A video of a person sitting in a wheelchair and crying that his legs might be crippled for the rest of his life.

Yes, this video is indeed fake.

Other videos such as those with arms and faces wrapped in bandages are basically fake.

Some people may ask, now that it has been filmed and broadcast on TV, aren’t you afraid of problems in the future?

In response to this, Youya said: This is normal, because our Konoha Village's medical technology is the best in the world.

This reason alone is enough.

The reason for shooting these videos is naturally because Youya needs the villagers to believe that the ninja army of their Konoha Village is fighting hard on the front line with the people of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The reason why the villagers need to have such an understanding...

That was naturally because the Youya Front had never really fought with the Hidden Cloud Village.

It is true that Yuya and Raikage were very angry before, but after calming down, Yuya was the first to say: It is certain that both you and I are unhappy with each other, but because of this, I definitely understand you. You can't do such a stupid thing. Someone must be framing you.

The Raikage slapped his thigh: That's right, there must be a villain plotting against us behind our backs!

You Ya said again: Even if we have to fight, we should find out the person behind the scenes before fighting, right?

The Raikage nodded, it was indeed necessary.

You Ya asked again: But now that things have come to this point, we have no choice but to fight.

The Raikage snorted coldly: So we still have to fight?

You Ya laughed happily, and then said: We do have to fight, but not for real. You and I can take this opportunity to resolve some historical issues.

The Raikage was puzzled: What kind of historical legacy is this?

You Ya laughed happily~

……

The final result is this large-scale performance art.

For the Raikage, he definitely doesn't want to really fight with Konoha Village.

But he certainly wouldn't go against the tough guy image he has always maintained.

If we lose our tough image, we will suffer in our interactions with other villages.

Youya also knew this, so he just forced the Raikage to show an attitude that he must fight, and then acted accordingly.

You, Shimura Danzo, are trying to put the blame on the Hidden Cloud Village for this incident, right?

OK! I'll do as you wish!

I can take advantage of this incident to do something.

The reason why Youya and the Hidden Cloud Village are doing this kind of large-scale performance art this time is naturally because they have something to ask for.

And what they asked for was very simple.

Iron country.

The current leader of the Iron Kingdom is a samurai named Mifune.

There are no ninjas in the Iron Kingdom. There are only samurai.

But this does not mean that the country is weak.

In fact, this small country adjacent to the two countries of Lei and Huo is very powerful.

It is because of this that the Iron Kingdom is very annoying to Yuya and the Raikage.

There is no Iron Kingdom. The price to pay is too high.

At the very least, Konoha and Kumogakure can definitely defeat the Iron Kingdom by working together, but the price to pay will definitely be high.

This is a definite fact and there is nothing much to say.

And if the Iron Kingdom is gone and the Fire and Thunder Kingdom directly borders on it, there will be no buffer area, which is honestly not a good thing.

It would be fine if it continued like this.

After all, it is quite good for the Iron Country to be set up here as a buffer zone between the two big countries.

But what he should never do is, Mifune of the Iron Country wants to develop the country.

Uh, okay, this is weird.

There is definitely something right about the development of a country.

Moreover, Youya has always felt that the win-win development of both parties will definitely bring the greatest benefits.

And the reason why Yuya wants to bring the Raikage to target the Iron Kingdom this time...

In fact, the matter really has to do with historical issues.

More than 20 years ago, the Daimyoji of the Iron Kingdom was destroyed by Black Zetsu.

Of course, although this is a fact, the Iron Country will never admit it without evidence.

They must want to know who killed the daimyo of their country.

And the biggest target is naturally Yuya and Raikage.

After all, only these two villages have the ability to kill the Daimyo of the Iron Country quietly.

In response, Yuya expressed his understanding and did not care about the hostility of the people of the Iron Kingdom towards Konoha.

Even so, the current Mifune Samurai of the Iron Country has very high standards.

After discovering that Konoha Village was growing stronger day by day, he decided to learn from Konoha Village, just like Hanzo of the Rain Country.

This is actually a good thing.

But there was one thing that made Youya dissatisfied.

Why is the Iron Country called the Iron Country?

This country has a lot of iron.

What does more iron mean?

There is a lot of steel.

Therefore, under the leadership of Mifune, the Iron Kingdom vigorously developed various iron and steel mills and supporting industries.

If that were all, that would be fine.

The point is...

Mifune also wanted to dump these things to other villages.

Well, strictly speaking it is not dumping, but the products from the Iron Country are well priced, produced in high quantities, and are of high quality.

What would the neighboring Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village think? !

And if...

That's all.

Yuya built the railway from Konoha to other villages. Because the railway to the Hidden Cloud Village was requisitioned from the Land of Iron, Mifune asked Yuya for the right to collect tolls for ten years.

Youya didn't agree, so Mifune only asked for five years.

You Ya thought about it and decided that it would not be a big loss if he could get the cooperation of Sanfu to build the railway from Konoha Village to Kumogakure Village for five years.

So, Youya agreed.

This is actually normal, right?

But the money was too much, and Sanchuan didn't want to collect only five years. He said he could use steel or something as collateral to get another five years.

You Ya was furious, but if you really wanted to say it, Mifune's request was not that excessive.

But for Yuya, this is the best evidence that the Iron Kingdom has lost control.

Youya couldn't allow this to happen.

Therefore, the Iron Country must be taught a lesson.

……

And right now, in the Iron Country, such a meeting is indeed being held:

"Bang!" A warrior in armor slammed the table with a hammer and said angrily, "This is too much! These guys from Konoha and Kumogakure are really going too far!"
