Danzo took Angel in and went to Hinata's house. Not long after, he came out satisfied.
The Hyuga family adheres to the principle of moderation and does not fight for anything in Konoha Village. If they can bring Naruto and Hinata, the fourth generation sons, together, it will not be difficult to get verbal support. However, Naruto's identity is required to be announced before he reaches adulthood.
The next step is the highlight. Danzo has something to do that affects the fate of the country and the village.
In the context of the loss of shadows in Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village at the same time, other countries are eyeing, and there are many small-scale frictions at the border, Danzo, headed by Danzo, and Koharu, the advisor of Konoha, Mito Monen and Nara Shikama, who is in charge of the think tank,
After meeting with the Sunagakure Village delegation for a long time and conducting negotiations with them, Danzo was not only very firm in setting the location of the meeting in Konoha Village, but he also successfully obtained several favorable conditions to continue to maintain the so-called alliance.
In fact, Sunagakure Village has become half a puppet of Konoha.
As Danzo watched the Sunagakure Village delegation leave, he remembered that Ebizo, the most senior elder in Sunagakure Village, and Granny Chiyo had clearly noticed the clues but could only swallow their knocked-out teeth in anger, as well as other unknown things.
The representative of Sunagakure Village seemed relieved, which made me feel very happy.
What exactly did Danzo use to blackmail him?
In the past, Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village once became an alliance, even if it was only formed under the threat of Konoha's force. Sunagakure Village has the most scarce resources among the five major countries, and it is relatively difficult to cultivate basic combat capabilities. An alliance with Konoha is a natural choice.
Brother, this kind of alliance will collapse at any time as long as there is a flaw, but the Third Hokage, a good old man who is increasingly compromising, actually returned the alliance's Sunagakure Village to "drink soup" after Konoha's economy continued to improve, and Sunagakure
The village carried out economic cooperation, and Sunagakure Village exchanged some insignificant rights for low-priced imports of civilian goods and weapons. At first, in Danzo's eyes, this was as stupid as free charity, but now -
Because of the "commodity dumping" of Konoha Village to Sunagakure Village, the workshops that were originally established in the desert of Sunagakure Village to solve problems but were struggling could no longer continue. The top management of ninja villages is usually held by powerful ninjas.
, didn’t know much about economics, and it was already too late to react.
You must know that many of the ninja tools used by ninjas nowadays are nothing more than smelting and forging industries, as well as special paper making industries such as making scrolls and detonating charms, and industries that use special substances that can be used as medium for magic, mostly for agriculture and
Pharmaceutical industry. Due to environmental problems in Sand Hidden Village in the Country of Wind, none of the above industries have developed well.
As a result, most of the private military industries in Sunagakure Village collapsed, and some handicraft industries were also squeezed out. Sunagakure Village can no longer do without imports. Now Konoha Village can completely blackmail Sunagakure Village with its economy.
Danzo was also because Konoha Village had expanded a bit too quickly in the past few years, which made him happy but also worried about the actual situation of the village. With no ANBU to worry about, he had time to learn these things.
After dabbling in economics and discovering the value of ninjutsu to the economy, Danzo also wanted to scorn that the Fourth Kazekage had gold sand ninjutsu but could not use it to make money.
"The threat to Sunagakure Village will disappear from now on," Danzo said.
Mito Kadenen said: "It is a good thing to reach an agreement smoothly, but some of the terms of the economic agreement are skipped by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. How will the Daimyo explain them?"
Go to bed Koharu: "Indeed, whenever a war breaks out, our Konoha's war preparation funds rely on the support of the Land of Fire. If we bypass the daimyo and find another source of funds without authorization... the daimyo will criticize our Konoha's economic proposition.
It’s also true.”
These two people were contemporaries of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, and were both disciples of the Second Hokage. Because they were very senior, they were usually responsible for criticizing the Hokage's decisions.
Danzo remained calm: "You usually don't ask anything about Konoha's finances, but now you can check the accounts. Our Konoha funds are enough for us to skip the support of the Land of Fire and fight a war no less than the last war.
Already."
Even though ninjas have far more power than ordinary people, they cannot underestimate the importance of money. People need to eat and use, and ninja tools also need money. War cannot only focus on high-end combat power. Basic cannon fodder and sufficient supplies are more important.
It's not impossible to suppress the tailed beasts if you gather enough ninjas, otherwise the ninja village would not dare to use the tailed beasts that are in danger of going berserk and unblocking as weapons; there are also cases in history where the third generation Raikage was besieged by tens of thousands of ordinary ninjas and died of exhaustion
Appear.
"Do you want to replace the Daimyo, Danzo?" Mito Kaden thought of Danzo's nature and felt that this was really possible.
"How come, in order to achieve peace, we must first not let other forces see the possibility of taking advantage of it, so we need to show our strength so that they don't dare to invade." Danzo said proudly.
"Danzo-sama, this is the foundation laid by the deceased Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage after more than ten years of hard work. Please don't forget it." Nara Shikaku, who was packing up the documents, couldn't help but remind him.
Shimura Danzo has indeed done a lot for Konoha, not openly. During the war, Danzo contributed to the protection of Konoha's intelligence system. Danzo also designed to instigate conflicts within the alliance that was enemies of Konoha.
They suffered losses or even collapsed before the battle with Konoha, which reduced Konoha's sacrifices a lot. Some of the troublesome tasks that required sacrificing a few people to save the majority were also the responsibility of Danzo secretly, so that the need to maintain the
The bright image of Hokage is much better.
But at the same time, Danzo was quite radical and utilitarian, and Shikaku was worried that Danzo would get carried away.
Danzo nodded symbolically and said: "Of course, I will not forget the sacrifices of Hiruzen and Minato, and the teachings of the teacher (the Second Hokage), so I want to strive for the possibility of peace once and for all."
Danzo then gave Shikaku instructions on some follow-up matters that would be handed down below.
Then, he asked two Konoha advisers what mattered most to him: "By the way, has anyone nominated other Hokage candidates?"
Koharu went to bed: "The day before yesterday, we met Jiraiya."
"Jiraiya?" Danzo was not surprised. No matter how much this person loved freedom, it was his duty to come back and pay homage to Sarutobi-sensei after his death. Jiraiya was different from Orochimaru, but he valued human kindness.
Koharu went to bed and continued: "Ah, he is Hiruzen's disciple. As usual, we asked him if he wanted to be Hokage, but he was rejected. He said he went to Tsunade to ask, and he is now waiting for a reply."
"I hope we won't be kept waiting too long. We can focus on the overall situation," Danzo said.
Mito Kaden: "Although Orochimaru is also a disciple of Hiruzen, but... alas, there is no way to make him go towards Konoha now."
Danzo remained calm: "Yes, what a good young man he was. I also deeply regret it."
I thought in my heart: "My time has come."
In the end, neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade wanted to be Hokage, and Danzo was officially elected as the fifth generation.
