Chapter 157 Scorpion who wants to go to Konoha (6200)
Danzo is here, and with him are 1,000 Konoha ninjas.
Regarding the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements, Sunagakure showed great enthusiasm.
Under the leadership of Kazekage Chiyo, Sunagakure Village set out the highest standards and welcomed the "King Master".
As the leader of Konoha's support force, Danzo was received by Chiyo and Ebizo and walked into the Kazekage's exclusive reception room.
Here, Danzo knew that his nephew Kizaru had repelled the invasion of Iwagakure and Kumogakure alone yesterday afternoon.
Kizaru's reputation in the ninja world has reached the level of the first Hokage.
I think back then, when the First Hokage was still alive, he could be said to have suppressed the entire ninja world by one person.
The first Hokage liked peace, so no ninja village in the entire ninja world dared to start a war.
This is the prestige of the strong!
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Danzo looked at Chiyo and Ebizo, ready to start a friendly exchange.
Knowing that Danzo's visit this time was not a good one, Chiyo and Ebizo were the most prepared.
At yesterday's meeting, Chiyo relied on her strength to intimidate the village's top brass, and successfully convinced some people who still couldn't see the situation clearly.
The village is already at the most critical moment. In order to survive and for the inheritance of Sunagakure, except for the village's autonomy and share of task entrustment, everything else can be compromised to Konoha.
While ensuring the bottom line, give up everything you can and let the village live safely under the protection of Konoha. As long as everyone is alive, there will be hope for the future.
As long as it can gain enough development time, the village will one day be able to recover and accumulate enough strength again.
Maybe, the village can also cultivate talented people like Kizaru in the future.
No, it doesn’t even have to be as strong as Kizaru. A person with 70% to 80% of Kizaru’s strength is enough.
By then, what the village has lost will naturally be able to get back.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure can also take revenge for their invasion.
This is the idea of Chiyo and Ebizo, as well as the idea of the senior management of Sunagakure who were convinced.
With the goal of surviving and preserving the energy to make a comeback, Sunagakure and Konoha started negotiations.
"Elder Danzo, are your demands too much? Is this Konoha's attitude towards allies?"
Even though he was prepared for heavy bleeding, Ebizo couldn't help but get excited after hearing Danzo's request.
No wonder Ebizo was so excited, Danzo's request was really too much.
This is no longer making a request, but digging out the roots of Shayin, or uprooting them.
500 million reinforcements were consumed, and Konoha and Sunagakure signed a brotherly alliance, with Konoha taking the lead in everything.
These two points were barely acceptable to Ebizo and Chiyo.
The latter ones are even more excessive.
In order to better protect the Kingdom of Wind and Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure invests 300 million every year to hire ninjas from Konoha to regularly maintain peace and patrol in the Kingdom of Wind.
In order to better help the reconstruction of Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure Village invests 200 million every year to hire Konoha education consultants to assist Sunagakure in reforming education.
At the same time, the minerals excavated by Sunagakure in the future can only be sold to Konoha.
These three are simply killing Sunagakure.
Let’s not talk about other things, just the protection fee of 500 million per year. If Sunagakure agrees to it, there will be no chance of development in the future.
The ninjas in the village have gone through life and death. After a year of hard work, less than half of the money they have earned has to be handed over to Konoha.
Under such circumstances, what else can Sunagakure use to develop? It would be good if it can maintain its current scale.
Moreover, you, Konoha, want to send consultants to interfere with the education system of my Sunagakure. What are you trying to do? This is to fundamentally attack the roots of my Sunagakure!
"These requests I made are all to help your village develop better." With a dark heart and a thick face, Danzo didn't care about Ebizo and Chiyo's expressions, which were getting worse and worse.
"We are very grateful for Konoha's support and help, but we have our own plans for village affairs." Not wanting to break up with Konoha, Ebizo politely refused.
Ebizo's refusal was expected by Danzo. If Ebizo directly agreed to such an excessive request, then it would mean there was something wrong.
According to Kizaru's suggestion, first make excessive demands to Sunagakure, and then go through rounds of long negotiations to get Sunagakure to agree to Konoha's real requirements. This was the plan formulated by Konoha before Danzo set off.
Feeling very calm inside, Danzo still frowned unhappily on the surface.
His face turned gloomy, and Danzo deliberately said in a threatening tone: "Sunagakure wants to reject our kindness? Have you thought clearly about the consequences?"
"It's not that we want to reject your village's goodwill, but your request is too much!" Ebizo stopped showing weakness and started to fight hard.
"Hmph! Too much? What is too much? This is Konoha's sincerity to help Sunagakure."
"I don't see any sincerity!"
"My nephew is still here."
"you!"
.....
The first day of negotiations between Danzo and Sunagakure passed in a quarrel.
That night, Danzo finished the negotiation and came to the room where Kizaru was resting.
Walking into the room, Danzo looked at Matabusa and Shukaku playing cards on Kizaru's bed, with a strange expression on his face.
During today's negotiation, Danzo learned that Kizaru had conquered Sunagakure's Shukaku and was preparing to take him away.
Ebizo also grasped this point and pointed out that Sunagakure had paid a heavy price, showing his sincerity.
In response to this, Danzo's reply was that even if Ichibi stayed with Sunagakure, Sunagakure did not have the combat power to stop Ichibi from going on a rampage.
His nephew took Ichibi away for the safety of Sunagakure.
Danzo was telling the truth on this point. With only Chiyo, a Kage-level powerhouse left, Sunagakure Village was indeed powerless to stop Ichibi's rampage.
Chiyo's puppet technique is very strong, but she prefers fighting people rather than suppressing tailed beasts.
The ability to suppress tailed beasts is also a very important requirement for the five great ninja villages when choosing a Kage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is also the reason why Chiyo was not chosen when choosing the third Kazekage.
If it weren't for the sudden death of the third Kazekage in battle and the lack of high-end combat power in Sunagakure Village, Chiyo would not be promoted to the fourth Kazekage.
However, although Danzo's words were true, he still made Ebizo and Chiyo very angry when he said them so directly.
This is like a eunuch who married a wife, but someone took her away on the grounds that he was incompetent, looked uncomfortable, and was not good for his health.
It was simply Galen's whisper that broke people's defenses and silenced them.
What is even more uncomfortable is that Ebizo and Chiyo, who were ridiculed, did not have the strength and confidence to fight back, let alone lift the table!
"Kizaru, there's an old guy coming in!" Shukaku, who noticed Danzo entering the room and playing cards, reminded him kindly.
His cheek twitched, Danzo's first impression of Ichibi was extremely bad.
This kind of tailed beast should be sealed and trained into a chūuriki weapon!
Danzo glanced at Shukaku sadly, and when he saw Kizaru walking out of the inner room, Danzo changed his face to a gentle smile.
"Kizaru, thank you for your hard work!" Danzo said with concern as he looked at Kizaru.
"Oh ho ho! It's your turn to do the hard work next, uncle!" Kizaru said with a smile.
While talking, Kizaru and Danzo sat on the sofa in the living room.
After first learning the specific details of yesterday's battlefield from Kizaru, Danzo then told Kizaru about today's negotiations in detail.
"Sunagakure has suffered a lot of losses in this war. Now they have no other way out except to take refuge with us." After finishing the story, Danzo also gave his own evaluation.
After saying that, Danzo looked at Kizaru and said with a little complacency: "I did a pretty good job in the drama today! Hahaha!"
"Hmm! It would be better if you restrained yourself a little more!" In Kizaru's view, Danzo's acting as a bad actor is not called acting. He is completely acting in his true colors.
"Hahaha!" Danzo was not angry when he heard Kizaru complain. Instead, he laughed.
"When it comes to acting skills, I'm still much worse than you." Danzo, who had already decided in his heart that Kizaru had been acting in order to cover up his ambitions, said meaningfully.
Kizaru rubbed his head in distress, but Kizaru didn't explain out loud. Danzo had misunderstood, that's good!
"I don't understand what you are talking about! Uncle!" Kizaru pretended to be Hu Tu and said.
"Hahaha! I'm happy for your performance!" Danzo said with a laugh.
After saying that, Danzo suppressed his smile and got down to business, "You are temporarily staying in Sunagakure for a few more days. You can leave at any time after Yan arrives."
By leaving Kizaru behind, Danzo was not preparing to involve his nephew in the negotiations, but was using him as the greatest deterrent.
Today's Kizaru has a great reputation in the ninja world, and he is truly a man who can control a country.
"What a troublesome thing!"
"You don't have to worry about the negotiations, you just need to stay in Sunagakure Village."
"knew!"
After informing Kizaru of the subsequent arrangements, Danzo left the room without staying any longer.
For the next two days, Danzo continued to play bad guy with high intensity, keeping a gloomy face every day, and threatening Chiyo and Ebizo with Kizaru from time to time.
Regarding Danzo's behavior, Sunagakure roughly guessed that Konoha was trying to make a bad face, and wanted to intimidate themselves first.
We are all old foxes, and we all understand the intention of the other party.
Ebizo and Chiyo didn't make a clear statement, but remained the same, quarreling with Danzo every day.
Compared to Danzo's high-intensity quarrels, Kizaru was very relaxed.
For the past two days, he had basically been hosted by the Sunagakure ninjas, wandering around, admiring the beautiful scenery, and tasting delicious food.
Compared to Konoha, Sunagakure is a little poorer in supplies, but some of its specialty delicacies are still good.
Especially their barbecue is very exotic and Kizaru likes it very much.
In addition to delicious food, the quality and quantity of Sunagakure's beauties are also very good.
It's a pity that this place is located in the desert and there is no hot spring custom street like the outskirts of Konoha.
"Oh! Children, do you want to play with your brother?"
In the commercial street in the heart of Sunagakure, Kizaru was blocked in front of a red-haired kid.
Holding the wooden doll in his hand, Xie, who was just 4 years old, stared blankly at the strange uncle in front of him.
Shaking his head in fear, Xia silently took a few steps back.
"It's so cute!" Putting his hands in his pockets and bending down to look down at Scorpio, Kizaru showed a lewd smile.
Not far away, the Sunagakure ninja who was responsible for receiving Kizaru quickly ran forward.
"Kizaru-sama, does Scorpion offend you in any way?"
Not knowing what happened, but remembering Ebizo's order not to offend Kizaru, the Sunagakure ninja apologized first.
Standing up, Kizaru smiled, shook his head, and explained aloud: "I just like children very much."
Hearing this, the ninja of Sunagakure secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is Lord Kazekage's grandson. His name is Scorpion. He is just four years old this year."
After saying that, the Sunagakure ninja looked at Scorpion again, smiled softly and said: "Scorpion, this is Kizaru-sama, a distinguished guest from Konoha."
Konoha?
Hearing this name, Xie suddenly remembered that his parents seemed to have mentioned this name when they left.
"Have you seen my parents? Uncle Kizaru!" Looking up at Kizaru, Xia asked expectantly.
Upon hearing this question, the ninja of Sunagakure darkened and quickly looked at Kizaru with a praying look.
Understanding what this ninja meant, Kizaru calmed down his smile slightly and nodded.
Xie's parents are both Sunagakure's elite puppet masters. In the ambush battle in the Land of Rain, Sunagakure's puppet master troops were all destroyed in the hands of Brother Hatake.
In the original plot, Scorpion's parents also died at the hands of Hatake Sakumo, and Kizaru's arrival was like a butterfly flapping its wings, changing the plot.
Under Kizaru's changes, Scorpion's parents died earlier.
In the original plot, Scorpion was also reincarnated because of the death of his parents. In addition, in order to bring life to the father and mother puppets created by Scorpion and make up for Scorpion's pain of losing his parents, Scorpion was obsessed with research and development of forbidden techniques and reincarnated himself, while neglecting to care about Scorpion.
Accompanying him led him to darkness.
If after the death of his son and daughter-in-law, Chiyo had not chosen to escape and hide, and spent the time studying forbidden arts with Scorpion, perhaps Scorpion would not have gone dark.
This world is really fucked up!
Kizaru did not regret defeating the enemy on the battlefield, nor did he feel that Hatake Sakumo had done anything wrong by completely annihilating the Sunagakure puppet master's troops.
This is a war between two countries and two ninja villages. There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.
Perhaps the only mistake is that everyone was born in the ninja world, this fucking troubled world!
It is precisely because there are so many tragedies that in the world of Naruto, there are so many villains and good guys, using their own methods and ideas to change the world and bring peace to the world.
Perhaps unifying the entire world and establishing a unified country is the right path!
Kizaru couldn't help but think in his heart.
But soon, Kizaru's mind was covered by another thought.
Unification or something is really troublesome! It’s better to trick some passionate young people and let them do it! All you need to do is use your mouth to give them some blood and work hard!
Thinking of this, Kizaru's expression when he looked at Xia looked more like a strange uncle with malicious intentions.
Let’s start with a small goal! Form an Akatsuki group in Konoha!
"Your parents are on a mission in Konoha. You will see them in the future." Kizaru squatted down and said with a smile.
Hearing Kizaru's words, the Sunagakure ninja on the side hesitated to speak, and finally held back.
"Really?" Xie's big and cute eyes lit up and she asked impatiently.
Grandma's reaction after returning to the village, as well as some actions of other ninjas, made Xie vaguely feel that his parents might have passed away.
But Kizaru's words brought a little hope to Scorpion.
Although he knew that Kizaru might be lying to him, Xia still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, just in case what he said was true!
"Really!" The smile became gentle, and Kizaru raised his hand and put it on Scorpio's head, rubbing it gently.
He didn't deceive Xia, Kizaru really had a way to make Xia see his parents again, and he also knew how to completely resurrect Xia's parents.
Reincarnation in the dirty earth allows Xie to see his parents again.
The heretical technique of the reincarnation eye, the natural technique of reincarnation, can resurrect the dead.
Of course, the cost of using heretic and reincarnated magic is the life of the user.
However, it’s not a big problem! In the ninja world, there are many ninjas who do wantonly evil. The lives of these scum can be used for better purposes.
As for whether these ninjas can withstand the reincarnation eye and whether they can use the art of reincarnation and reincarnation, it depends on Orochimaru's future research on Hashirama cells.
First use Hashirama cells to strengthen the carrier and leave a secret door for control, then transplant them with the samsara eye, and finally use the genjutsu of the Sharingan eye to control the carrier and use the art of detachment and reincarnation.
According to this plan, there is still a high possibility of success.
"Then can you take me to Konoha to visit my parents?" Looking at Kizaru, Xia asked eagerly.
"Be obedient and I will come find you later." Kizaru said with a smile.
Scorpion's talent in the mechanical and biological fields is very clear to Kizaru who has watched the original plot.
Instead of puppeteering, Kizaru thinks Scorpio should develop Gundam. What kind of puppetry is there? Building mechas and driving Gundams is a man's romance!
Nodding seriously, Xie said expectantly: "I will be obedient!"
After touching Scorpion's head again, Kizaru withdrew his right hand and stood up again.
I don’t know how far Brother Orochimaru’s research on the reincarnation of the Earth has progressed.
Looking at the expectant Scorpion in front of him, Kizaru thought that after returning to the village, he might be able to inquire about the progress.
Kizaru remembered, however, that when he took Sakumo Hatake to visit Orochimaru, Orochimaru's first solution to the problem of Sakumo Hatake's wife was to reincarnate in the earth.
As long as there are no technical problems, other problems can be easily solved.
As the first pilot target of the international student program, Konoha's plan originally required the descendants of Sunagakure senior officials to go to Konoha's ninja school to study.
As the grandson of the Kazekage, Scorpion himself is on the list of people in Konoha's overseas student program.
As long as Danzo and Mito Kaden successfully convince Sunagakure and get them to agree to Konoha's request for foreign students and garrison troops, the 4-year-old Scorpion will soon go to Konoha to study.
As for whether Sunagakure will refuse this request, in Kizaru's opinion, it is unlikely.
Because there are only two choices before Sunagakure, one is to agree to Konoha's request, become Konoha's true ally, and continue to survive; the other is to reject Konoha's request, become Konoha's enemy, and be divided by the Three Kingdoms of Thunder, Fire, and Earth.
.
As long as Sunagakure agrees to Konoha's plan to study abroad, then Scorpion, as a direct descendant of Chiyo, must be sent to Konoha.
As a Kazekage, if Chiyo does not lead by example, he will arouse hatred and dissatisfaction from other senior officials.
Moreover, Konoha will not agree!
Just as Kizaru expected, when Mito Monobu came to Sunagakure Village, the negotiations between the two villages made real progress.
Although they were very dissatisfied with Konoha's proposal for education support and peacekeeping troop garrison plans, compared with Danzo's previous requests, Sunagakure's senior officials felt that it seemed acceptable.
Free troops are stationed in Konoha, which can help Sunagakure maintain homeland security and does not require any financial expenditure.
There are only two prices Sunagakure has to pay, one is to provide the territory near the village for Konoha's ninja troops to be stationed, and the other is that the descendants of the village's top officials will become hostages and go to Konoha to study.
Compared with the first garrison, the second condition is more acceptable to the senior management of Sunagakure.
As political beings, most senior Sunagakure officials who have several children feel that it is acceptable to sacrifice a child for the sake of the village.
This does not include Chiyo!
Chiyo, who has only one grandson, is unwilling to send Xia to Konoha no matter what.
However, her responsibility as a Kazekage prevents her from affecting the overall situation of the village for the sake of personal emotions.
"Sister, as long as we maintain our alliance with Konoha, Scorpion will be safe in Konoha." He understood his sister, but for the sake of the village, Ebizo still had no choice but to persuade.
"I only have Scorpion left, and he is only four years old!" Chiyo's eyes turned red, and she did not cry, but her voice was choked with sobs.
"For the sake of the village, I have no choice but to wrong Scorpion." He felt very sad, but Ebizo was more rational. He knew that everything he was doing now was for the survival of the village.
Remaining silent, clenching his hands and shaking his body, Chiyo did not speak for a long time.
"Grandma Chiyo, I am willing to go to Konoha!" Xie, who was eavesdropping outside, pushed open the door and said proactively.
"Xiao!" She raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. Chiyo's expression became a little flustered. She quickly stepped forward and walked in front of Xiao, "Did you hear everything?"
Nodding, Xie said loudly: "I want to go to Konoha, Granny Chiyo."
"Why? Don't you want to be with your mother-in-law?" Chiyo asked softly.
"Because you can see your parents when you go to Konoha." Xie said with longing.
With a stunned expression, Chiyo suddenly recalled the report given by his subordinates the day before yesterday.
A trace of bitterness flashed across his face, and Chiyo knew that it was Kizaru's lie to deceive Scorpion.
If Xie went to Konoha and didn't see his parents, I don't know how sad he would be!
Thinking of this, Chiyo became even more unwilling to let Xia go to Konoha.
"Xiao, can you stay with your mother-in-law? If you leave, your mother-in-law will be alone and she will be very sad." Chiyo combed Xiao's hair with his hands and said softly.
A trace of hesitation and entanglement flashed across his face. Xia wanted to see his parents, but he didn't want to make Grandma Chiyo sad.
"Grandma Chiyo, I'll come back after seeing my parents, okay?" Looking at Chiyo, Xie said carefully, "I will definitely come back soon."
Wanting to cry, but could only smile, Chiyo reached out and held Xia into his arms.
Standing behind Chiyo and looking at Chiyo who hugged Scorpion tightly, Ebizo couldn't help but sigh.
For the sake of my sister and Scorpion, I can only work harder. Maybe I can give Kizaru a try.
Compared to the cold-blooded Danzo and Mito Kaden, the young Kizaru may be moved after hearing what happened to Scorpion and be willing to help Scorpion.
After all, judging from the reports from his subordinates, Kizaru lied in good faith in order to take care of Scorpion.
