Chapter 373 Yuyin Village Fair
How to educate Itachi and Sasuke is something that Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, should have a headache with, and it has nothing to do with Kizaru.
After handing over Sasuke and Itachi intact to Tsunade, Kizaru left Konoha again.
Compared to Konoha, Nagato's Akatsuki organization and the Rain Country they manage are what Kizaru values more.
Here, a new trade center will be established, and Kizaru's economic colonization plan will be officially launched.
The day after Kizaru returned to Amegakure Village, Nagato and Obito held an internal meeting at the base of the Akatsuki organization.
At this meeting, Nagato told all official members very bluntly that the organization's plan had changed, from capturing tailed beasts to building Amegakure Village into an existence beyond the five great ninja villages.
The reality of such an ambitious goal surprised some members. Almost all of them are rebel ninjas from the five great ninja villages, and they all know the strength and heritage of the five great ninja villages.
A powerful ninja village is not just about having powerful ninjas. The complete ninjutsu system they master, the sufficient financial support of the daimyo behind them, and the large and small ninja clans that maintain the foundation of the village. These multiple aspects of strength ensure the status of the five major ninja villages.
.
If these formal members of the Akatsuki organization join Amegakure Village, the high-end combat power of Amegakure Village will reach or even exceed that of the five major ninja villages.
But, what about other aspects? In terms of ninjutsu reserves, financial reserves, and personnel reserves, these Amegakure villages are far behind the five great ninja villages, even the gatekeeper Sunagakure village among the five great ninja villages.
With the strong strength of the members of the Akatsuki organization, Sunagakure Village can indeed be easily destroyed, but this does not mean that Umagakure Village has surpassed Sunagakure Village. Umagakure Village still has a long way to go.
Fortunately, there are almost no normal people among the official members of the Akatsuki organization. After hearing about Nagato's new goal, these people either were hindered by Nagato's power, or found the new goal exciting, or had an indifferent attitude and did not
One person openly spoke out against Nagato.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone supports Nagato's new plan. Everyone just wants to take a look first and see what kind of situation Nagato can create.
Among these official members, only one found Obito privately after the meeting and expressed his doubts. This person was Kisame who was conquered by Obito himself.
Because Kisame had been engaged in the work of dealing with his own people for a long time when he was in Kirigakure Village, this caused him great psychological problems and made him deny his own existence and the meaning of life.
After meeting Obito, who calls himself Madara, Kisame agrees with the "Eye of the Moon" plan and becomes Obito's subordinate without hesitation and joins the Akatsuki organization.
As a result, now, Payne, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization, has announced that he will stop the plan to capture the tailed beasts, which makes Kisame confused.
He found Obito, hoping to get the truth about the matter and the next arrangements.
Obito, who had recovered his former self, told Kisame the truth of the matter truthfully, and also told Kisame the strategic ideas he heard from Kizaru and Nagato.
Facing Obito's confession and the change of direction, Kisame once again felt confused, and he hoped to have time to think.
Obito and Nagato fulfilled Kisame's wish, but in order to avoid the leakage of information, they could only let Kisame stay in the base temporarily.
When Nagato and Obito dealt with the internal affairs of the Akatsuki organization, Kizaru paid close attention to them, but did not intervene or provide guidance.
Nagato is Kizaru's chosen agent in this world. What he needs is an agent with outstanding abilities, not a waste who needs Kizaru's help wiping his butt every day.
If Nagato can't handle the situation well within the Akatsuki organization, then Kizaru will be very disappointed.
Now it seems that Nagato handled it well, at least he did not let the Akatsuki organization disband due to civil strife, but made a smooth transition to Amegakure Village.
After initially settling the affairs of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato appeared in his true form and officially became the leader of Amegakure Village, and conveyed the notice of leadership to other countries and Ninja Villages.
The great changes that occurred in Amegakure Village, especially the death of Hanzo (who was actually dead long ago) and Nagato's rise to power, attracted the attention of the five major ninja villages, especially Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, which are connected to Amegakure Village.
.
Among the ninja villages of these three great countries, Konoha and Amegakure Village have become allies because of Kizaru's relationship. Although Sunagakure Village has enmity with the Akatsuki organization, it does not know the connection between Amegakure Village and Akatsuki organization.
, they will only follow Konoha's steps and take the initiative to become allies with the Hidden Rain Village.
Next, only Iwagakure Village was left. Without knowing it, Ohnoki, who was already old, could at most send people to find out information about Nagato, the new leader of Amegakure Village, instead of offending Nagato rashly.
Onoki hopes that the ninja world will maintain overall stability. Now his biggest headache is the issue of successors. Among the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations in Iwagakure Village, there is no good candidate that satisfies him.
Deidara, the only one with good qualifications, also became a rebellious nin due to his deformed personality.
There is no successor!
This is what worries Onoki the most.
When Nagato notified various countries of his ascension, he also sent invitations to surrounding countries, asking other countries to send envoys to attend the celebration of his ascension.
Based on the status of the Hidden Rain Village in the ninja world, the invitation sent by Nagato would not receive much attention, especially from the three major countries adjacent to the Land of Rain.
Even if these three major countries send envoys, their purpose is mainly to find out information about Nagato, the new leader, so as to facilitate subsequent targeting.
Onoki, who received the invitation, handed it directly to his secretary and asked him to arrange for the ninjas from the intelligence organization to form a team of messengers to go to Yuyin Village to gather information.
According to Ohnoki's opinion, sending people to the Ame Hidden Village to investigate the information was already an expression of importance.
But soon, a piece of news came out that made Onoki unable to sit still.
Konoha publicly announced that the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, would personally visit Amegakure Village.
Immediately afterwards, Sunagakure Village also publicly announced that Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, would personally visit Amegakure Village.
The big move made by these two great ninja villages made Onoki confused for a moment. What did the Hokage and Kazekage want to do? Why did they go to the Hidden Rain Village in person?
As Sunagakure gradually moved closer to Konoha, Onoki couldn't sit still at all.
What a Hokage, it's not enough for her to win over Sunagakure Village, now she's even planning to win over Amegakure Village.
As an old fox, Onoki thought more. He even speculated that Nagato replaced Hanzo and became the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, and Konoha was involved in this.
When he thought of this, Onoki quickly ordered that he would personally visit Yuyin Village. He wanted to see what Tsunade, that woman, could do.
Iwagakure Village and the Earth Country will never tolerate Konoha joining forces with Sunagakure and Amegakure to form an alliance. Once Tsunade succeeds, the strategic space of the Iwagakure Village will become precarious. The Earth Country is in the international arena, especially in its surrounding areas.
The regional voice will be significantly reduced.
This is something that both Onoki and the Daimyo of Earth Country cannot accept.
If you three bastards hang out together, then you won’t have any fun. If you want to hang out together, why don’t you call me?
Onoki, who thought he had guessed Tsunade's sinister intentions, the first reaction in his heart was to prevent Amegakure Village from falling to Konoha.
——
Three days later, the ninja villages from the seven countries that received the invitation sent their respective envoys. Among them, the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Earth were all personally visited by the shadows of the ninja villages in their respective countries.
Such an important guest gave Nagato, a mysterious ninja who suddenly appeared in the eyes of outsiders, an even more mysterious veil.
What is the origin of Nagato, the new leader of Amegakure Village? He was able to have three Kage come to attend his installation ceremony in person.
Nagato and Konan both attached great importance to this ceremony. They had arranged their subordinates early and made preparations for the reception.
Because the focus was on the sales at the end, Nagato's installation ceremony was very simple, and it only took less than an hour to complete all the procedures.
After the ceremony, Nagato invited envoys from the seven countries to the newly built conference room to hold a trade fair.
Regarding this meeting, in addition to Tsunade who knew about it, envoys from other countries, especially Tsuchikage Onoki, were very curious. They didn't know what Nagato, the new head of Hidden Rain Village, would show during the meeting.
What kind of attitude?
After arriving at the conference room and arranging everyone to sit down, Nagato first expressed the position of Amegakure Village in the future, that is, it is a neutral country, and they will become a neutral country like the Iron Kingdom.
Nagato's statement made Onoki secretly happy. This was the development he wanted to see.
Next, Nagato moved on to the sales promotion process. He asked Konan to distribute painted sales brochures to everyone, which contained the products Konan carefully selected from Kizaru.
After receiving the sales brochure, everyone attending the meeting did not wait for Nagato to introduce it. They only glanced at it briefly and then exclaimed.
The products above are so cheap, so cheap that everyone can’t believe it.
Onoki, who was sitting next to Tsunade, flipped through the sales brochure curiously as soon as he got it. When he saw the prices marked on the products, he had the same reaction as everyone else.
With such a cheap price, what does Yuyin Village want to do? To do business at a loss?
"The quality of the products here won't be bad, right?" Someone asked a question in Ohnoki's mind.
"I can guarantee that the quality is the same as or even better than the products on the market." Nagato said confidently.
"Then how much money do you still earn?" the messenger who asked the question asked in confusion.
Nagato smiled and said, "Sorry, this is a business secret."
Faced with this answer, the messenger who asked the question could not continue to ask further questions.
"Is there a purchase limit for this price?" Others asked.
"All the products above are sold in unlimited quantities, and I promise never to increase prices." Nagato said to the crowd.
Nagato's words triggered a discussion in the conference room. These envoys who attended the meeting did not know where Nagato's confidence was, but they knew that the opportunity to make money had come.
Compared with ordinary envoys from small countries, Onoki's vision will not be blocked by mere money. The question he is thinking about now is where did Nagato of Amegakure Village get so many low-price products.
If it is a new production technology, then Iwagakure Village must get it.
If it is a hidden underground channel, then Iwagakure Village is completely accessible!
Thinking of this, Onoki glanced at Tsunade not far away, and saw that her face was calm and there was no fluctuation in her expression. Onoki immediately understood that the Hokage's thoughts should be the same as his own.
After looking at Tsunade, Ohnoki then looked at Kazekage Gaara. Seeing that he was supporting his chin with his hands crossed, Ohnoki was thinking about something, and Ohnoki became worried.
Among the seven countries present, only the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind will become their enemies or allies.
I just don’t know what those two people are thinking. Do they want to eat alone, or do they want to eat separately?
Onoki decided to wait until the meeting was over to find out what these two people had to say.
After the meeting, the first person Ohnoki found was Tsunade, the most troublesome opponent in his eyes.
After being found, Tsunade learned the purpose of this old fox during her communication with Onoki.
There was a big laugh in Tsunade's heart. As the only insider attending the meeting, Onoki's performance in front of her was a comedy.
After communicating with Onoki, Tsunade rejected Onoki's implicit offer of cooperation and directly stated that Konoha would not interfere in any affairs related to Amegakure Village.
Tsunade's refusal and statement, in Ohnoki's opinion, were completely a sign of wanting to be alone.
Tsunade, this woman, has a huge appetite! She is not afraid of stuffing herself to death.
After the communication with Tsunade failed, Ohnoki found Gaara again. Facing this young junior, Ohnoki made a request for cooperation in a high-profile manner as a senior.
Then Ohnoki was rejected again.
Gaara didn't know the inside story of Amegakure Village, and he didn't have any bad thoughts about Amegakure Village during the meeting, as Onokiru suspected.
Gaara was lost in thought during the meeting, completely thinking about which products Sunagakure Village should purchase with its limited financial funds.
Being rejected twice in a row, Onoki was in a bad mood! He further believed in his heart that Konoha and Sunagakure had united together, and they rejected him because they didn't want the Iwagakure Village to get a piece of the pie.
Since you don't want Iwagakure to share in the profits, then don't blame me for luring the wolf into the house.
Angry, Onoki set his sights on the north, a rogue country that he didn't like.
On the other side, Tsunade, who had been contacted by Onoki, sent someone to notify Kizaru and told him all about Onoki's ambitions.
Kizaru, who knew the news, directly conveyed it to Nagato. He was not prepared to interfere in this incident. This was a test of Nagato's ability.
For a leader, outstanding strength alone is not enough, other abilities are equally important.
Nagato, who knew the news, was very calm. This was a situation that both he and Konan had expected.
From Nagato's point of view, this is a good opportunity, an opportunity to show the strength of Amegakure Village in the ninja world.
If a country wants to become a neutral country, it cannot be achieved by just saying a word.
If you want to become a neutral country, you also need considerable strength. Using Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, to show the power of Amegakure is a good target.
