Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Separated from the three little ones, Yuya hummed a song and came to Senju Hashirama's mansion to find Uzumaki Mito.

It's the end of the year and it's time to pay New Year's greetings.

By the way, please also ask Mito Uzumaki to contact the people of the Uzumaki clan. The war cannot continue. The war must be ended next year. You can negotiate the specific conditions yourself. It must be ended! Otherwise, I will give you the aid I gave you!

Mito Uzumaki agreed.

People from the Uzumaki clan are dying every day.

Don't think that naval battles are not dangerous if everyone has ships. In fact, this is the most dangerous thing.

When the boat capsized and was hit by other rampaging boats, the man was instantly killed.

Therefore, every time a person dies in a naval battle, a whole ship will be killed.

Of course, this is true for both the Uzumaki clan and Kirigakure.

What Uzumaki Mito is dissatisfied with is the people in power of the Uzumaki clan. Now they are staying well behind the country of Uzumaki. Is it all him who has to sacrifice his life? The civilians and low-level ninjas of the country of Uzumaki do it. Are they human?

Why are you so cruel!

Those who died were all members of the Uzumaki clan!

However, there was one thing that Uzumaki Mito cared about.

"But little Yuya... you have been selling weapons to Kirigakure Village behind your back. This may make the Uzumaki clan have a bad opinion of you..."

Youya waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't care what they think of me. In my opinion, there is a problem with the way he handles his own position in the Country of Whirlpool.

What I say next may make you unhappy, but it is the truth.

Among the largest countries in the entire ninja world, the Country of Uzumaki is adjacent to Konoha, and it is also the only country with the shortest distance between Kirigakure Village and Konoha's maritime trade route.

If the Kingdom of Whirlpool continues as before...

Then their ending will definitely be miserable. "

You Ya originally wanted to say something like overestimating one's capabilities.

But after thinking about it, Uzumaki Mito was also a Uzumaki clan member after all, so he let it go.

Even in the original Naruto Chronicles, the Uzumaki clan did not have good relations with other countries except Konoha.

In fact, even Konoha did not send troops when the Uzumaki Kingdom was attacked. This led to the Uzumaki clan members preferring to go to the Rain Country rather than Konoha when they fled. (Nagato’s parents: Who will cue me?)

Although there may be many reasons for Konoha at that time, if you really want to say it, even if Konoha, controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen, does not support the country of Uzumaki with force, even if it sends a ship to pick up people for retreat, the Uzumaki clan will not be Only those three or two were killed, and she and her mother would not have to leave their homes and go to the Country of Grass to be used as blood packs by the beasts of the Country of Grass.

It's impossible for you to say that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't consider this.

One of the most typical examples is...

Naruto and his mother Kushina were taken to Konoha from the Country of Uzumaki.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that Uzumaki Mito was too old at the time and was about to reach his end.

In short, because of its geographical location and size, Whirlpool Country cannot follow the development route of a great power like Konoha.

In total, it's just a place with a bigger butt. Where can it develop further?

But again, the Kingdom of Whirlpool cannot be destroyed.

The country of Uzumaki is the buffer zone between Konoha and Kirigakure.

There was no way Yuya would let them be captured by Kirigakure Village.

Of course Uzumaki Mito also knows this, but the problem now is...

Those bastards from the Uzumaki clan didn't listen to what she said...

They were thinking about how to get more weapons, get more big ships, and send more people to the sea to fight Kirigakure all day long.

There is even a feeling that the Uzumaki clan will gain great benefits if they win this war.

Mito Uzumaki was also dissatisfied, but what could she do?

It was impossible for her to leave Konoha after Senju Hashirama's death. Her influence was greatly reduced after Senju Hashirama's death. Why did the Uzumaki clan come here every year in the past? Why didn't they come here in the past few years except when they wanted to ask for something?

Because Uzumaki Mito no longer has any influence on Konoha.

Even if she is the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, if she does not have the ability to decide the direction and direction of Konoha, not many people will take her seriously.

Uzumaki Mito sighed helplessly. Her situation was not good either. Although she also wanted to end the war...

She didn't know what to do.

Yuya raised his head and looked at Uzumaki Mito and asked, "Do you really want to end this war? I can help you."

Uzumaki Mito became more energetic: "Are you willing to give up aid to Kirigakure Village?"

Youya smiled and shook his head: "Master's wife, you have always been very smart, why are you so naive now?

I sold weapons to Kirigakure Village purely because I wanted to stock them, and those weapons were all sold at a discount.

If I don't sell to Kirigakure, Kirigakure's people will use their own resources to produce weapons.

After all, it is also a shinobi village in the Kingdom of Water, so there will be no shortage of basic resources. "

As soon as Yuya said this, Uzumaki Mito understood that instead of Yuya's help from both sides, Kirigakure Village did not need Yuya's assistance at all.

It's just that the price of Yuya is lower than the price of the ninja produced by their own village in Kirigakure, so Kirigakure just buys it.

If Yuya withdraws these weapons, Kirigakure will use his own, and the situation will not change.

Uzumaki Mito was curious: "How are you going to end this war?"

Yuya looked at Uzumaki Mito and fell silent. Uzumaki Mito looked confused, why didn't he say anything?

And the atmosphere gradually became weird.

Mito Uzumaki is indeed as smart as Yuya said.

Even if Youya didn't say a word, she thought of the key...

"You, you want...you want to assassinate those elders of the Uzumaki clan?!" Uzumaki Mito looked at Yuya in surprise.

Yuya pursed his lips, adjusted his posture and bowed his head to Uzumaki Mito: "This is the fastest, has the least subsequent impact, and is... the best way for Konoha."

It's not that the Kingdom of Whirlpool cannot survive, but for Youya, this war is actually unnecessary.

Even if you don’t charge tolls in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, I can take you away. It’s not like you don’t have no resources in the country. As long as you hand over your military, public opinion, people’s livelihood, infrastructure, and the right to use resources, I will take you to the Country of Whirlpool. It's not impossible to make a fortune.

I think about your ridiculous toll every day. How much can you earn from this toll? !

But it was impossible for Youya to say that openly.

Because Konoha itself is still fighting, and Konoha itself is not at peace, then Yuya can't do many things.

To put it more bluntly, those large-scale infrastructure projects require large-scale manpower and material resources.

And one ninja is worth at least hundreds of people.

Now that such a large force of manpower is trapped in the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure, large-scale infrastructure construction cannot be started.

Not to mention what if other villages take the opportunity to attack once construction begins?

Therefore, many things can only be done in peacetime. As long as the war lasts for one day, many things cannot be done.
