The place where the Kirigakure three live, Terumi Mei's room.
"Mizukage-sama, why did you agree to this condition?" Ao asked in confusion. Such conditions are really unfavorable to Kirigakure. As long as Terumi Mei is in his right mind, he shouldn't agree to it.
In particular, there is a big country next to the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Thunder. What if Kirigakure gets too close to Konoha and arouses Kumogakure's vigilance and hostility? If he is not careful, it will be the fourth time.
The World War begins.
Ao even suspected that Mei Terumi's mind had been manipulated by Konoha ninjas using genjutsu, but he opened his Byakugan several times and did not see any trace of chakra interference in Terumi Mei's body.
"You still don't look far enough, Ao." Terumi Mei certainly knows why Ao doesn't understand. She has her own considerations.
Consistently, she answered the previous question with a question: "Before I explain, can you tell me what you think of that Uzumaki Naruto?"
This question didn't stump Ao, and he answered almost immediately: "Although he is a kid, he is a very powerful, smart and difficult kid! It's like a fusion of Konoha's first generation and second generation Hokage!"
For ninjas, this kind of evaluation is equivalent to the greatest compliment.
"That's right. Ever since I saw Uzumaki Naruto for the first time, I knew that he was an extremely ambitious guy. He would never be satisfied with his current situation. Whether active or passive, this guy would definitely be able to
The flames of war started!" Terumi Mei's evaluation was even heavier than Ao's evaluation!
Hearing these words, Qing frowned: "Then if we do this, won't it further increase Konoha's ambitions? The more we give in, the more Konoha will..."
At this point, the smart man Qing had already reacted.
"You want to stimulate Yunyin through this move, and then..." After the next words, Qing Mingzhi shut up.
Terumi Mei nodded approvingly, this was exactly what she thought.
With Kirigakure's current strength, he can't fight against Konoha no matter what. Moreover, Terumi Mei is keenly aware of a key point. Konoha's newly issued banknotes will support the exchange of gold!
Although he didn't know where Konoha got so much gold, or how long this policy could be implemented, Terumi Mei believed that with this, it shouldn't be a problem to get hundreds of kilograms of gold.
What's more, Konoha also promised to help Kirigakure capture the Three-Tails, and this condition made Terumi Mei's heart even more excited.
However, although Terumi Mei found so many reasons for supporting Konoha's monetary policy, even she did not realize that there was actually a hint of uneasiness in her heart.
If Konoha can help Kirigakure capture the three-tails, this will undoubtedly be a great thing for them; but if Konoha easily recaptures the three-tails, this also means that Kirigakure's ultimate combat power will be ineffective in front of Konoha.
...
When this news is revealed, how will Kumogakure react? Terumi Mei thought this way. If he were the Raikage and saw Konoha, Kirigakure and Sunagakure unite, he would definitely take action immediately.
In fact, Terumi Mei still underestimated the fourth generation Raikage.
Although he appears to be a reckless man who can only use brute force, in fact, although the fourth generation Raikage has an impulsive and violent personality, he is both rough and fine, and will never let his guard down at a critical moment.
In the past third ninja war, Kumogakure and Iwagakure fought to the death and paid a heavy price. The third generation Raikage on Kumogakure's side even fought against more than 10,000 people on his own.
The Iwagakure ninja died after fighting for three days and three nights!
Logically speaking, the two parties could not be said to be living in peace, at least they could be said to be incompatible with each other. But in the face of Konoha's constant attacks, the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage sat down at the negotiating table.
"The Land of Thunder is a great country, and Kumogakure is also a great village. I didn't expect that we would meet here today, which really surprises me." The Sandaime Tsuchikage started with these provocative words.
Although they sat at the negotiating table, there was still a deep gap between the two parties.
"If Iwagakure wants to sit back and watch the Earth Kingdom be destroyed by Sunagakure, then I don't have any objections." The Fourth Raikage didn't have a good temper, and he immediately shot back.
"But if you still want to have a good negotiation, then you'd better be more respectful!" As he spoke, Lei Ying's broad and thick palm slapped the table hard, and the whole room seemed to shake.
In front of the Raikage's tall body, the originally short Sandaime Tsuchikage looked like a dwarf standing in front of a giant.
However, he was not overwhelmed by Raikage's momentum at all: "Iwagakure doesn't need to worry about the threat of Sunagakure! We have countless ninjas who are loyal to the village, as well as the Four-Tails and Five-Tails!"
"On your part, you should be careful about the day when the ninjas of Konoha board Kirigakure's warship and rush into the port of your Land of Thunder!"
Both sides are bickering, but it also reveals why both sides are able to sit here.
Konoha, Sunagakure and Kirigakure. If these three parties unite, from a geographical point of view, they will form a semicircle surrounding the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder!
The two sides kept arguing and slowly brought the topic to what to do.
I thought that discussing business matters would calm down, but unexpectedly, the quarrel became even more violent.
Because the two sides have fundamental differences on how to deal with the tripartite alliance.
Iwagakure hopes that Iwagakure and Kumogakure will join forces to defeat Sunagakure from the flank first, and then defeat Kirigakure. They will wait until both sides of Konoha's wings are cut off before dealing with Konoha.
However, Kumogakure believes that Konoha is the core of the tripartite alliance. As long as the two forces are gathered together to defeat Konoha in one go, the entire alliance can be disintegrated.
"If we don't cut off Sunagakure and Kirigakure, are we waiting for them to sneak attack on our rear while we are attacking Konoha?" This was the reason given by Iwagakure.
"Will Konoha sit back and watch us attack Sunagakure and Kirigakure? Failure to distinguish the priorities will lead to failure! Sunagakure, Kirigakure, local chicken wagakure!" This is the reason given by Kumogakure.
Naturally, Naruto didn't know about the scene where there was almost a fight here. Even if he knew about it, I'm afraid he would just laugh it off.
Konoha has itself and Sasuke in charge, and the three configurations of Kyuubi, Wooden Dungeon and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan alone are enough to defeat the other four major nations together.

In his mind, the only one left in the entire ninja world who can still do something is the Akatsuki organization.
And the Akatsuki organization did not disappoint Naruto. Even Kumogakure knew how to find helpers, and the Akatsuki organization was certainly no exception. In particular, they also lost many team members, such as Itachi who was killed and Kisame who was captured.
At this moment, Uchiha Obito, under the pseudonym A Fei, is looking for new people to join the Akatsuki organization.
Jinlun Mountains, near Mount Sumeru (Note 1)
Uchiha Obito wore a Uzumaki mask and asked in seductive language: "How is it? Have you thought about it carefully? Only by joining us can your big plan be better realized."
In front of him was a ninja with silver-white hair, a bandage on his mouth, and his whole body shrouded in a robe.
"Akatsuki organization? I don't care about your false peace plan." The ninja replied: "However, if the opponent is Konoha, I will join!"
"I'm going to fix Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan!"
When he suddenly heard this name, Obito's exposed eye suddenly emitted a strange light!
