Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 269
c268 Miroku is independent, Uchiha leaves, Konoha is divided into three parts
“If you want me to agree to Konoha’s surrender, it’s not impossible… but it depends on your sincerity.”
Under the current situation, it has been determined that the three ninja villages at this time will definitely not sit idly by and watch Konoha being destroyed, and watch the Hidden Mist Village grow.
So it is undoubtedly impossible for Konoha to be destroyed in this battle.
Then, it is not too much for Hozuki Shingetsu to simply make use of this information gap and satisfy his own selfish desires on the premise of having completed the overall strategic goal?
After all, he never concealed his yearning for stamp collecting. Within one day, he can fully realize his dream. Even Hozuki Shingetsu would not easily imagine such a thing.
Now that he has such a great opportunity, he will naturally not treat his brothers unfairly.
“Sincerity?”
Tsunade was a little confused when she heard this, but looking at the burning eyes of Kizuna Shingetsu, she immediately thought of the meaningful words of Kizuna Shingetsu when they first met in Kizuna’s house in the Hidden Mist Village several years ago, and instantly figured out what he meant by “sincerity”.
Originally, according to Tsunade’s temperament, when she first guessed the so-called sincerity, she would have given Kizuna Shingetsu a painful kick to see some color.
But Tsunade is not the reckless girl she used to be. Although her temper is still hot, after all the actions of Konoha against Senju and many years of traveling in the ninja world, she has gradually been able to control her temper.
So in the face of Kizuna Shingetsu’s teasing, she took a few deep breaths slowly, and still tried her best to stabilize her emotions and continue the previous topic.
“Konoha admits defeat. As a condition of defeat, Konoha can hand over the Book of Seals.”
In Tsunade’s view, the sincerity she said was not small.
The Book of Sealing can be regarded as the essence of Konoha’s inheritance. All the ninjutsu that the successive Hokage considered too difficult to practice or too dangerous to practice were all recorded in the Book of Sealing.
As for any ninjutsu that can be labeled with these two labels, it must not be an ordinary ninjutsu.
Among them, the more famous ones are the multiple shadow clones, the flying thunder god, the impure world reincarnation, and the mutual detonation talisman. These ninjutsu were once the signature ninjutsu of the Konoha strongmen and the foundation of Konoha’s awe-inspiring ninjutsu.
Although Tsunade is a woman, she is still decisive and brave.
She knows that Konoha will definitely not survive this crisis at this time. In this case, it is better to throw this thing out.
As for whether she is qualified to use the Book of Sealing as a transaction at this time… With her identity as the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and the chaotic state of Konoha at this time, she believes that as long as the various ninja villages are interested, she will have enough chips to promote this matter.
Deeply influenced by Hashirama Senju, she believed in human creativity more than ninjutsu, so between the inheritance of ninjutsu and the ninja clan, she chose to preserve the ninja clan and give up ninjutsu.
She believed that as long as Konoha was given enough time and the true will of fire in Konoha still existed, Konoha could fully regain its strength and stand up again after more than ten years under the condition of taking this incident as a warning.
In order to prevent being blackmailed by Kizuna Shingetsu, she also emphasized:
“This is the highest sincerity that our Konoha can show. Otherwise, even if it is embarrassing, we can only use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to pull my two grandfathers and Uchiha Madara back from the Pure Land.”
“Believe me, that situation is definitely not a good choice for you.”
Tsunade, who didn’t know that Uchiha Madara had just fallen into Kizuna Shingetsu’s hands, was exaggerating Konoha’s last resort at this time.
For Konoha without White Zetsu, if they want to summon strong men like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara in their prime, they must sacrifice a Kage-level strongman.
However, few people are willing to make this decision to exchange the life of a Kage-level strongman for a deceased person who has lived for an unknown period of time without facing a real life and death situation.
“This condition sounds good… but unfortunately, I refuse.”
Tsunade’s face froze when she heard the words of Hozuki Shingetsu.
“Don’t worry, it’s not impossible for me to agree to Konoha’s surrender. As for what I want, it’s not much, just one thing – money.”
Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the uncertain expression on Tsunade’s face and chuckled: “A lot of money, as long as you give enough money, I will agree and even help you lobby other ninja villages as the leader.”
Money?
Tsunade felt relieved when she heard this. Compared to money, the Sealed Book was a truly priceless treasure, something that could not be sold no matter how much money was spent.
In her opinion, abandoning the Sealed Book and pursuing the money that was full of the smell of copper was really short-sighted. Moreover, even if they couldn’t pay back the money, they could still ask the Fire Country for help…
“We don’t want much money. Add to that the preparations made by our various ninja villages for this war, the expenses on the road, the compensation for the injured ninjas, and the various construction activities delayed by the war… All in all, it’s 200 billion!”
Hozuki Shingetsu said something shocking with a smile on her face.
“How much?”
When Tsunade first heard the number, she thought she had misheard it, but when she saw the affirmative smile on Hozuki Shingetsu’s face, she could no longer sit still and wanted to leave immediately.
Two hundred billion? What a joke, Konoha’s average annual military expenditure was less than 30 billion before, and the military expenditure of the past six or seven years, let alone Konoha, could not be taken out immediately even in the Land of Fire.
If the homes of the rich and powerful in the Land of Fire and Konoha were raided, perhaps this number could be raised, but how could it be possible?
After years of expansion and war, Konoha now may only have 3 billion funds left on its books. Even if it sells everything it has, it is estimated that it can only raise 30 billion funds.
This amount of funds seems to be a lot, enough to exchange for 1,000 Asuma’s heads, but compared to 200 billion, it is still a drop in the bucket.
“Don’t leave in a hurry… Everything can be negotiated. If you can’t pay, you can use something to pay off the debt!”
Seeing Tsunade about to leave, Hozuki Shingetsu quickly stood up and raised her hand to persuade her to stay.
“The Book of Seals, as the essence of Konoha, can be counted as 100 billion. If the remaining Konoha ninja clans gather together and sell some things, they can probably get 40 to 50 billion. As for the remaining money… use the women or women of each ninja clan to exchange!”
“Women of large ninja clans such as Hyuga and Uchiha can be priced at 100 million, and the rest of the medium-sized ninja clans such as Ino-Shika-Chou, Inuzuka, etc. can be priced at 50 million. The smaller ninja clans can be priced at 30 million.”
“If you calculate it this way, you only need to use a few hundred ninja women plus the Book of Seals to exchange for Konoha’s freedom. That’s simply a good deal.”
Hozuki Souji looked at Tsunade, who was so angry that she was surging, and smiled and said such bloodthirsty words.
If such a treaty is signed, it can be called the “Jing Kang Shame” of the Ninja World. So let alone whether the ninjas of the various clans agree to hand over their sisters, any Konoha ninja who still has a bit of blood in his heart will probably not agree to this.
Of course, Kizuna Shingetsu made this request not only to reproduce the famous historical scene of the previous life, but more to irritate Tsunade, raise the price, and pave the way for the next bargaining.
However, if Tsunade or Konoha really agrees to this condition, Kizuna Shingetsu will simply wake up with laughter.
Not to mention that such a large amount of compensation can greatly promote the development of Kirigakure, just to say that so many ninja women can completely cultivate a large number of bloodline ninjas for Kirigakure.
If we add the group of ninja gladiators who are now on the East Continent and continuously add bricks and tiles to the number of bloodline ninjas in Kirigakure, it is estimated that the number of bloodline ninjas in Kirigakure will officially surpass Konoha in the near future and become the first in the Ninja World.
“Wishful thinking!”
As expected, after hearing such an impolite request, Tsunade was instantly furious. She could no longer hold back her anger. She raised her right foot high and smashed the chair where Kizuna was sitting with a painful kick.
Boom!
The fierce fighting soon attracted the Anbu on duty around, but before they could enter the open top to check the specific situation, they were stopped by Kizuna’s voice.
“Are you sure you want to fight me?”
Although she only had the strength of a jonin at the moment, Kizuna was not panicked at all. She calmly put her right thumb into her mouth and bit it hard.
Tick!
Looking at the blood flowing down Kizuna’s thumb, Tsunade’s face was no longer angry, and she staggered back a few steps.
“You haven’t even overcome your hemophobia, how can you fight me?”
Looking at Tsunade’s unstable appearance, Hozuki Shingetsu raised his right hand and continued to move forward, pressing Tsunade step by step.
Looking at Tsunade’s trembling, Hozuki Shingetsu suddenly thought of a fan fiction he had read before, in which a man took advantage of Tsunade’s hemophobia and forced her to have sex with him. In the end, Tsunade overcame her hemophobia with the help of plum blossoms under the drastic mood swings.
This plot shocked him when he first read it, but now it seems that there is such an opportunity in front of him, allowing him to experiment whether this plot can succeed…
“Konoha will never agree to this condition.”
Looking at Hozuki Shingetsu approaching her, Tsunade’s eyes widened, trying her best to overcome her fear of blood.
“If you insist on doing this, then Konoha would rather everyone die in battle than do such a thing.”
“Then how about a compensation of 50 billion plus the Book of Seal, and letting the Uchiha clan become independent?”
He naturally knew that a treaty similar to the “Jingkang Shame” would not be signed by anyone except the descendants of the waste Zhao Er, so when Hozuki saw that the atmosphere was almost right, he finally stated his bottom line.
“Uchiha clan independence?”
Tsunade frowned the moment she heard this condition, and was about to object, but she didn’t know what she thought of, and she stopped abruptly.
Since Uchiha Fugaku followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and died in the Land of Vegetables, and Uchiha Yashiro became the new clan leader, the Uchiha clan’s attitude towards Konoha has completely changed 180 degrees.
In the eyes of the Uchiha clan, whether Uchiha Fugaku died in the Land of Vegetables voluntarily is completely unproven.
After all, everyone knows the grudge between Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo. If anyone still believes that Sarutobi Hiruzen voluntarily stayed there to block the enemy for Konoha, then Uchiha Fugaku voluntarily stayed there to block the enemy in order to give Shimura Danzo enough time to escape. This statement is simply challenging everyone’s IQ.
Especially after Shimura Danzo’s Mangekyō Sharingan was officially exposed not long ago, it has aroused more suspicion of Konoha among the Uchiha clan, suspecting that Shimura Danzo coveted the power of the Mangekyō and secretly killed Uchiha Fugaku.
This is why the situation in Konoha has become so critical that the Uchiha clan has to put aside their suspicions and follow Konoha.
But it is fine that Konoha cannot exist after this war. If it can still exist, the Uchiha clan will definitely become a big thunder for Konoha.
Even now, with the death of Shimura Danzo, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Hyuga Hiashi, and Jiraiya’s broken arm, the strength of Konoha Hokage has been greatly damaged, and the Uchiha clan has already shown signs of disobedience.
Although Tsunade is very reluctant to admit it, the current Uchiha clan seems to have embarked on a path of mutual dislike with Konoha under the various operations of two consecutive Hokages.
“What? As long as you agree to this condition, I will urge the other ninja villages to agree to Konoha’s surrender.”
Under the questioning of Kizuna Shingetsu, Tsunade lowered her eyes and nodded silently.
This may be the best ending for Konoha, which has lost strong people one after another. Even if the Uchiha clan is lost, as long as the others are still there, Konoha will be able to return to its peak sooner or later with unity.
“However, for such a large order, it is reasonable for you to pay some deposit, isn’t it?”
“I heard that this is the necklace left by Hashirama Senju. I am still very interested in the ‘God of Ninja World’ who pacified the troubled times. I just don’t know if there is a chance for me to play with it?”
Kizuki Shingetsu’s hand reached three inches below Tsunade’s neck, where there was an emerald green water drop necklace buried deep inside.
After Tsunade noticed Kizuki Shingetsu’s action, her body trembled, and then she lowered her head and remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Kizuki Shingetsu saw this and immediately knew what he meant, and smiled and cast a soundproof barrier.
——
While Kizuki Shingetsu was enjoying the blessing of having many people in one day in the anti-Konoha alliance camp, a notice quickly spread throughout the ninja world.
Under the leadership of Hatake Kakashi, the Miroku Cult of Konoha officially left Konoha and officially established the Wave Village in the Land of Waves!
