Naruto: Starting from the pursuit of Tsunade

"No, no, no, you're wrong to say that."

"That's not even a question of taking advantage. We in the Sand Village have always been sincere to our allies."

"We may need the help of Akatsuki Village in the future."

Yoshino stood up anxiously, and if he had spoken faster he would have said that you had to take the money even if you didn't want it.

"I am so touched when Yoshino-kun said that."

"I have already felt the sincerity of the noble ninja village."

Yahiko suppressed his smile and pretended to be touched.

"But this is indeed not a small amount of money. The Sand Village has not been wealthy since World War II."

"How can you only care about our own ninja village?"

Nagato looked like a traitor who was thinking about the Sand Village, but he didn't win any gratitude from Yoshino.

How did such a person become a veteran?

If it were in our Sand Village, I'm afraid only the brains would be left after killing them and feeding them to the scorpions.

"Well, this, ah..."

Yahiko sighed, looking extremely conflicted.

That indecisive look made Yoshino even more angry.

He is really a talker and a jerk. How can he have any authority at all?

"Lord Yahiko, the benefits of forming an alliance outweigh the disadvantages."

"The Sand Village came here with sincerity. I don't think we should let Lord Kazekage feel disappointed."

"As for the aid, just a token of appreciation will do."

Xiaonan can only say things that go against her conscience in order to act. She just hopes to make as much money as possible.

"Yes, Master Xiaoying."

"The alliance is definitely a beneficial thing for both of us."

"As for assistance, our Sand Village will spare no effort."

Yoshino thought that finally a smart person had appeared, and he had no idea that he was being led by the nose.

"That's not good."

Nagato's words sounded very familiar to Yoshino.

"Nagato, stop talking."

"Since the Sand Village is so sincere, I will sign this alliance even if there is no assistance."

Yahiko interrupted Nagato and finally gave an answer that satisfied Yoshino.

"Master Xiaoying, you are wise."

"I will return to the village to report to Lord Fengying, and someone will contact me for follow-up matters."

Yoshino was afraid that Yahiko would go back on his word, so he decided the matter right away.

"That's easy. I understand that it has to be kept secret."

Yahiko had an ambiguous smile on his face, and he really didn't look very smart.

"I wonder how much money the noble ninja village can provide?"

At this point, Kakuzu finally spoke his first words.

"Didn't I just tell you that it's okay even if there's no assistance?"

Yahiko's smile immediately fell. This was how he should look when being slapped in the face in public by his subordinates.

"Master Xiaoying, there is no need to be angry."

"This gentleman is also outspoken."

"How could my Sand Village not help our allies?"

Yoshino instead comforted Yahiko, saying that the mission had been accomplished and it was time for him to relax.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, Yoshino-kun."

"I was born in a small town called Kakuzu, so I am a bit greedy for money."

Yahiko put on a smiling face and apologized, being very humble.

"No, no, Kakuzu-sama is just like that."

Yoshino was secretly shocked. Although he didn't know Kakuzu, he had heard of his name.

I didn't expect that there is such a ruthless person in Akatsuki Village. I must report it to Lord Kazekage when I go back.

"So how much aid are you, the Sand Ninja Village, prepared to provide?"

Kakuzu acted completely in his true character and ignored Yahiko's words.

"I can't say how much more, but 100 million is no problem."

Yoshino was full of confidence, and one hundred million was not even the upper limit given by Lord Kazekage.

"I thought you were so rich."

"The one over there in Konoha is more generous than you are."

Jiaobu just smiled disdainfully and didn't take the 100 million funds seriously at all.

"Kakuzu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Go back to sleep if you're not awake yet."

Yahiko was shocked at first, then he shouted loudly.

Just based on this change in expression, he is undoubtedly the MVP of the game.

"The Akatsuki Village is still in contact with Konoha?"

Yoshino's face changed instantly. Konoha was a nightmare to the Sand Village.

Konoha almost destroyed the entire Sand Village.

"No, absolutely not."

"We have not had any contact with anyone from Konoha."

Yahiko's denial at this moment seemed so pale and powerless in front of Yoshino.

"Of course you don't know. I was the one who came into contact with it."

"Konoha asked for 500 million, which is a huge difference."

Kakuzu took on all the responsibility and spoke very seriously.

"No, forming an alliance with Konoha is like seeking the skin of a tiger."

"Even if it's 1 billion, I won't agree."

Yahiko's words were so decisive that Yoshino was deeply moved.

"Master Xiaoying is right."

"Konoha is the strongest among the five great ninja villages."

"To put it bluntly, the alliance between Akatsuki Village and it is just an accessory."

At this moment, Yoshino felt that Yahiko was so wise and he had misjudged him.

"The accessories are worth 500 million. Aren't you from the Sand Village being too insincere?"

Kakuzu is determined to play the villain to the end.

"Kakuzu, stop talking."

"No one from Konoha is allowed to contact me anymore. I have the final say in the Akatsuki Village."

Yahiko getting angry at Kakuzu again made Yoshino feel more at ease.

"Master Xiaoying, you are also very sincere."

"We in the Sand Village really can't come up with 500 million."

"But I will report this to Lord Kazekage when I return, and will do my best to help the Akatsuki Village."

"You can see it?"

Yoshino knew how much Rasa feared Konoha, and he was willing to pay more money even if it was just to prevent the Akatsuki Village from forming an alliance with Konoha.

Now we can’t worry about the upper limit of 200 million, we can only stabilize Akatsuki Village first.

"No problem, just rest assured."

"I am the Kage of Akatsuki Village."

Yahiko was so happy that he patted his chest and assured Yoshino.

"Hmph~ You don't know what's good for you."

Kakuzu left the table in anger, bringing the drama to a close.

Bang~

As the door closed heavily, Yoshino's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Never mind him, we've settled it."

"Don't worry, Yoshino-kun. I'll be waiting for your good news."

There was some dissatisfaction on Yahiko's face about Kakuzu's departure, but it was obvious that he was holding it back.

"Thank you, Master Xiaoying. I will not disappoint you with the funding when the time comes."

Yoshino didn't realize that he had fallen into the ditch.

"That's easy to say. From now on, Akatsuki Village and Sand Village will be allies."

"Come and play more often when you have time."

Yahiko was in high spirits and extremely polite.

"must."

"Then I'll go back if there's nothing else. Master Fengying is still waiting for my news."

Yoshino prepared to say goodbye to avoid any further trouble.

After all, the corners are an unstable factor, he saw it clearly.

"Well, have a nice trip."

"I have something else to do, so I'll let Katsuhira give you a ride."

Yahiko sent Yoshino and the other three out the door and called Katsudaira.

Only after Katsubei and Yoshino and the other five disappeared from their sight did Yahiko and the others burst into laughter.

"I wonder how much money I can get?"

At this time, Kakuzu walked out from a corner with a faint smile on his face.

"Two hundred million as a base."

Yahiko's words were not very confident. As long as Rasa was afraid that he would form an alliance with Konoha, the number would not be less than half.

"It better be this way."

Kakuzu felt that acting in a scene was more tiring than killing people himself.

.....

The Sand Village acted quickly. In less than a week, a second group of people secretly arrived at the Akatsuki Village.

At the same time, he also brought 300 million in cash, which made Yahiko very satisfied.

The alliance was finalized.

Just as the Sand Village was cursing Konoha, Yahiko and his companions used the same method to cheat a large sum of money from the Iwagakure Village.

Under Shota's operation, Konoha's supplies also quietly entered the Rain Country.

Money makes things easier, and the construction of the Rain Country immediately began in full swing.
