Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 176 The Movements of Various Villages, and the Frustration of the Uchiha Governance!

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki listened with great confidence to the report from a civilian staff officer.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we earned over 30,000 catties of iron sand from the three transactions with Sunagakure."

Onoki marveled.

How cheap do those guys who eat sand sell iron sand for?

Before the transaction, he slightly lowered the price of the iron sand, fearing that the village would suffer a loss.

Unexpectedly, the group playing in the sand not only immediately agreed, but also sent an extra batch, hoping to continue the transaction next time.

Thinking of this, Onoki asked, "Have you found out why iron sand is cheap?"

He knew that the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release technique could be used to refine iron sand.

However, I don't believe that one person's extraction volume can affect the price of the entire Wind Kingdom.

Ohnoki has a deep understanding of the power of a group.

After the village's ninja reforms, they established the Explosion Release and Earth Release units, whose strength was truly astonishing.

The strategist lowered his voice, "It's related to the daimyo of the Land of Wind! The main sources of iron sand are the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire. These two main sources only recognize the daimyo's name. Sunagakure is selling large quantities of iron sand alone, so they can only sell it at a low price."

Ohnoki understood.

For the Land of Fire and Konoha, accepting only the iron sand from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind is not a problem.

It would allow them to obtain relatively cheap metals while also damaging the relationship between the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and Sunagakure.

If he were the Hokage or Daimyo, he would do the same.

But he is the Tsuchikage, and he must help Sunagakure.

"We don't need to worry about the daimyo. As long as Sunagakure sells iron sand, we will continue to buy it at this price until our demand is met."

"understand!"

The head of the liaison team, responsible for contacting the daimyo of the Land of Earth, stood up and spoke.

"Lord Tsuchikage! The Daimyo wants us to find a way to stop the actions of Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure!"

Stop Hanzo?

He tried to stop him with his head.

Last time, he teamed up with Old Purple to confront Hanzo head-on, but they didn't gain any advantage and he even got injured.

Unfortunately, Dust Release is powerful, but its wind-up animation is too long.

Facing Hanzo's incredibly fast Body Flicker Technique, they couldn't aim accurately at all.

As for the sealing team cooperating to kill them?

Putting aside the village's sealing level, trying to use a large number of people to create a "poisonous fog" Hanzo is just insane.

The old lady Chiyo next door, along with several elite Jonin and a dozen Jonin, still suffered many deaths and injuries, and even their puppets were mostly destroyed!

Onoki glanced at everyone and said, "Send the sealing team to set up a few warning barriers on the edge of the Land of Rain. Then ask the daimyo for funding. Remember, ask for the material cost of a thousand barriers."

"Understood." The liaison squad leader hesitated, "But, will this be enough to deal with the daimyo?"

"The daimyo will be very satisfied." Onoki shook his head helplessly.

Is Daimyo a man of great wisdom and foresight?

Is that fat guy concerned about the future threat to the Land of Rain?

He just wanted to give his subordinates a simple explanation.

As long as appearances are maintained, who cares whether Hanzo is dead or alive?

Besides, what does the Land of Earth have?

Even though Hanzo was obsessed with plundering, he was still focusing his efforts on the Land of Fire!

Konoha Village didn't react much, so why did they take the initiative to turn against Hanzo?

Onoki listened to the report about preparations for war.

Let's wait a little longer!

As long as internal conflicts erupt in Konoha.

It's time to harvest the leaves!

...

Sunagakure Village.

The Third Kazekage sat down with Chiyo and the clan leaders to discuss important matters that would determine the future of the village.

"The capital has issued an ultimatum, demanding that we stop Hanzo the Salamander's raids, or the losses incurred will be deducted from the village's funds..."

The Third Kazekage did not have a good relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

Chiyo, who had lost her son, was already short-tempered, and upon hearing the daimyo's decision, she immediately began to curse.

"A narrow-minded good-for-nothing! He can only see petty gains! What use is all the money he has if the village is defeated!"

That's the logic.

But the sheer size of Sunagakure is a given.

The Third Kazekage, the Chiyo siblings, and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki are all in their prime.

How weak can it be?

There's no need to worry about the Land of Wind for at least the next few decades.

"Therefore, we must declare war. Rather than declaring war on Hanzo, we should declare war on Konoha!" The Third Kazekage set the tone.

"Hmph! It should have been done a long time ago!" Chiyo slammed her hand on the table excitedly!

Her only son died at the hands of the man known as the White Fang of Konoha.

Only revenge can ignite her fighting spirit!

After gaining everyone's approval, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure began to discuss how to attack Konoha.

......

Meanwhile, a distraught woman wandered near the Uchiha clan's territory, with a boy standing beside her, his expression equally somber.

"Damn it, how dare they! Someone in the village is secretly researching Wood Release!"

Uchiha Rinchi still felt like it was a dream when he recalled everything he had seen in that laboratory!

She was born a few years before the founding of Konoha and personally experienced the initial establishment of the village.

She always held the First Hokage, who created a peaceful village, in the highest esteem.

The Will of Fire, which is recognized, is also a theory for protecting children proposed by the First Hokage.

"So, Elder Zhizhi, who do you think is the one who betrayed the Will of Fire? Even if the clan was in dire straits, they didn't dig up the corpses of their ancestors to study how to cultivate the Sharingan, did they?"

Yuuki said with a touch of emotion, "I never imagined that the First Generation would continue to watch over the village he loved so much in this way."

Uchiha Riji said, "I will definitely continue the investigation."

In fact, she knew very well what was going on in her heart.

A research base of that scale, so close to the village, could only be built by the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

The builders have another chance to access the original corpse...

It seems quite clear who it is.

At this moment, four police officers arrived, escorting a member of the secret service.

"Minister, the Anbu says they have orders from the Hokage's office and hope you can take a look when you have time."

The ANBU member stood aside, thinking, "Don't miss it! You absolutely have to watch this!"

But the four pairs of cold red eyes beside him, radiating a terrifying aura, made it difficult for him to open his mouth.

In the ninja world, the so-called intimidating aura that renders ninjas unable to act is a real phenomenon!

Yuuki opened the scroll, surprised for a moment: "Hmm?"

Uchiha Osamu perked up and asked, trying to shift his attention, "Yuuki, what happened?"

After dismissing the police officers and the Anbu, Yuuki explained, "Lord Hokage, I hope the Uchiha will set an example by sending out a certain amount of clan power to meet the possible siege by the three great ninja villages."

"There should be some additional benefits, right?" After serving as the Grand Elder for a few days, Uchiha Giri gradually learned to look at things from the perspective of interests.

"There are some benefits... I guess. It allows the clan to promote a group of special Jonin who meet the requirements."

"Promotion? Is that even possible? Isn't the village facing financial difficulties? Special Jonin receive a lot of resources!"

"This isn't a good thing," Yuuki said, shaking his head with a smile.
