Lei Luo left all the matters related to the formation and preparation of the Fire and Earth Alliance forces to Huitu, and ordered the other party to visit the prisoner of war camp in the near future to screen out the rock ninjas who were willing to surrender.
In addition, in order to prevent Huitu's lack of ability and prestige, Lei Luo also arranged for Uzumaki Cheng to help. With the latter's resourcefulness, he must be able to successfully achieve his goal.
In fact, when Lei Luo just opened his mouth and said that he wanted Hui Tu to form the Iwagakure army, Uzumaki Makoto understood what Lei Luo meant. After the meeting, the two had a brief exchange and finally finalized the matter.
Why form the Fire and Earth Alliance?
The reason is actually very simple, it is to prevent the Earth Kingdom from having countless remnants like the Wind and Rain Kingdom again.
Therefore, it is necessary to recruit local ninjas to serve the Fire Country, use the Iwagakure Ninjas to deal with the Iwagakure Ninjas, and save the Fire Country's military strength.
Rulership is a technical job, especially the annexation of territory...
Frankly speaking, neither Lei Luo nor Uzumaki Cheng have sufficient experience in this area, but this does not prevent them from summarizing countermeasures.
It is really difficult for the IDF to perfectly control this big country with the manpower left in the Earth Kingdom, so it is not difficult to understand how to properly absorb the surrendered Iwa Ninja.
There are two advantages to letting Huitu take charge of this matter. First, as a descendant of Onoki, Huitu can take advantage of his reputation to pull off the tiger's skin and publicize it, and for profit, he can see if he can force Onoki to submit.
The second point is that Huitu is not very strong and is easy to control.
Like Luo Sha, because he is a real Kage-level warrior and has a high prestige in Sunagakure, he has not obtained any military power so far. Lei Luo is guarding against this guy's backlash one day.
But Huitu is different. For such a weakling, no matter what little thoughts he has, the absolute difference in strength is enough to crush all his plans. Lei Luo has no worries about Huitu getting out of his palm.
After the short meeting, Lu Jiu took the information provided by Lei Luo and summoned a group of combat staff to formulate an encirclement and suppression plan. Uzumaki Cheng accompanied Huito Asaka and the two of them to talk about the preparation arrangements for the Fire and Earth Alliance, and Lei Luo...
He sat in the staff department for a while longer, until Fugaku and Jiraiya returned and reported truthfully the actions at target points 1, 3, and 4. Then he stood up and took a deep breath.
"The yellow plan is over here."
Except for Onoki, a total of four Iwagakure elders were captured, one of whom was stored in a sealed scroll, and the other three were captured alive by Jiraiya and Fugaku, and are now all in prison.
The top management of Iwagakure suffered heavy losses from Lei Luo and the others. Not to mention how much key information Ōnoki and the others could provide, even if the Tsuchikage was captured, Iwagakure's command had already suffered extremely serious losses.
The subsequent war situation will inevitably be smooth for the National Defense Forces.
"Jiraiya, Fugaku, you performed well this time. I, Lei Luo, always reward meritorious deeds. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Jiraiya scratched his head and glanced at Fugaku subconsciously. Seeing that the latter looked thoughtful and not in a hurry to speak, he took the lead and said:
"Lei Luo, can I have some money?"
"You..." Looking sideways at Jiraiya, Lei Luo was secretly surprised, feeling that the other person was not a money-grubbing person, but since the words had been spoken, it was hard to take them back, so he said calmly:
"Of course, how many do you want?"
"Not much, just 100 million."
One hundred million...
Looking at Jiraiya thoughtfully, Lei Luo noticed the desire in the other person's eyes. Inexplicably, he remembered the request Tsunade had made. If it was as he expected...
"Jiraiya, don't tell me, you are going to give this money to Tsunade."
Jiraiya nodded sheepishly and said with an awkward smile: "Tsunade always said that money is tight recently, so..."
Hearing this, Lei Luo became even more strange.
He knew that Jiraiya and Tsunade had a very good relationship. Whether they were from the same sect, fought side by side all year round, or Jiraiya accepted the rope tree as his disciple, these factors were destined to create a bond between Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Even if there is no so-called Sannin title in this time and space, this is still the case.
but……
"Send money directly to Tsunade. Is your relationship already so good?"
While asking with great interest, Lei Luo rummaged through his ninja tool bag, found a seal scroll marked with the word "一" and handed it over.
Intuition told Lei Luo that the relationship between Tsunade and Jiraiya must have changed compared to the simple friendship of companions in the original time and space. Is it possible...
Taking the seal scroll very naturally, Jiraiya heard Lei Luo's thoughtful question, pretended to cough twice, and waved his hands irritably:
"Alas...if it involves personal privacy, don't ask."
personal privacy……
Quickly grasping this word, Lei Luo touched his chin in amusement and stared at Jiraiya for a while until a blush appeared on the other person's face. After a hurried thank you, he hurriedly left.
"Lick to the end, everything you want..."
Hearing the emotion ringing in his ears, Fugaku interrupted his thoughts, raised his head, and looked at Lei Luo strangely. Seeing the Hokage staring at Jiraiya's back with a look of melancholy on his face, he couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Hokage-sama, what do you mean?"
As he said that, he also looked back at Jiraiya.
"Fugaku, when did you think Jiraiya and Tsunade got along?"
Lei Luo did not answer Fugaku's question, but asked a question in return. His brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was quite confused. Fugaku reacted and replied uncertainly:
"This...I really don't know."
When the topic of men and women was brought up, Fugaku, who had a slightly old-fashioned personality, was obviously uncomfortable. Seeing this, Lei Luo stopped the topic, withdrew his eyes from a distance and turned to Fugaku.
"Fugaku, what do you want?"
Fugaku considered his words and replied cautiously:
"Lord Hokage, if possible, I would like to learn more about the Eternal Eye and the Samsara Eye."
The Eternal Kaleidoscope, as well as the Samsara Eye above it, and the related eye-opening information, Lei Luo did not hide Fugaku, so the other party now said that he wanted to know, but in his understanding, it was more like...
"Fugaku, if I remember correctly, you don't have any biological brothers, right?"
"Yes, I am an only child."
"As for the Eternal Eye and the Reincarnation Eye, you're probably out of luck."
"Yes, I can't open it."
Seeing that Fugaku's expression did not change when he said this sentence, and there was no follow-up at this point, Lei Luo thought for a while, tacitly patted the other party's shoulder, and continued the conversation with a smile:
"Yeah, if you can't open it yourself, you can go grab someone else's."
"Let me guess, you are eyeing Uchiha Madara's Samsara Eye?"
Fugaku nodded lightly and admitted it very calmly.
There is nothing embarrassing to admit that you want to make yourself stronger, not to mention that the person in front of you is Lei Luo. With the other person's ambition and courage, Fugaku doesn't think Lei Luo will care about such a trivial matter.
The battle with Ohnoki made Fugaku realize that he was not strong enough, at least at the level of the Double Kaleidoscope, to pose a threat to the Shadow of the Great Ninja Village, so he was eager to improve his strength.
After all, we don’t know what level of opponents we will encounter in future battles.
Following Lei Luo, it seems there will never be a shortage of enemies.
