The loss of one jinchūriki in Sunagakure Village did not cause a strong shock among the five great ninja villages.
After all, before this, both Uchiha Madara and Righto had a tendency to collect tailed beasts.
This is certainly not a secret.
The only thing that shocked the major ninja villages was the death of Granny Chiyo.
The sudden news of the death of this powerful man who had made great achievements in several ninja wars was a blow to Sunagakure Village.
It also gave the major ninja villages a sudden feeling that a storm was coming.
Ever since Uchiha Madara captured a jinchuriki, the entire ninja has fallen into calm again.
Of course, this kind of calmness is only compared to other Xiaonin villages.
Since Uchiha Madara's whereabouts are a secret, the attention of most people in the ninja world remains on Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village.
During this period, if you are careful, you will find that the exchanges between Konoha, Kirigakure and Sunagakure suddenly become more frequent.
Especially Konoha.
When Granny Chiyo was still alive, Sunagakure Village had always had a hostile attitude towards Konoha's policy, but now it is changing rapidly.
This change was caused by Chiyo's brother Ebizo secretly promoting it quickly.
Compared to Granny Chiyo, who is an action-oriented person, Ebizo undoubtedly belongs to the type of person who formulates strategies through careful consideration.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sunagakure Village’s current behavior is to take advantage of both sides.
But what puzzles many people is that Konoha and Kirigakure don't seem to realize this, and they still do whatever they want.
It is precisely because of the strange behaviors of Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village that the major ninja villages feel that a storm is coming.
Half a month later.
Three days after Gaara of Sunagakure Village, the news of succeeding as the fifth Kazekage spread throughout the ninja world.
This news came very suddenly, and many ninja villages were a little confused. Gaara's reputation was not well known. Apart from his status as the son of the Fourth Kazekage, he had no influence at all in the ninja world.
Such a sudden succession of the fifth Kazekage left these ninja villages a little confused.
But Konoha and Kirigakure seemed to have expected it. When Sunagakure announced the news, they each sent representatives from their own shinobi villages to congratulate them.
Sunagakure Village has been under the control of various elders and senior officials in the village for some time, but the news of Granny Chiyo's death caused a certain instability in the village.
In order to appease people's hearts, coupled with the last wish of Chiyo's mother-in-law before she died, and the support of Ebizo, Maki and others, Gaara directly became the fifth Kazekage without much resistance.
Kirigakure Village Office.
"I didn't expect that the people of Sunagakure Village would actually introduce a brat to be the Kazekage."
"Although I expected it from the beginning, I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Terumi Mei had a look of surprise on her face and spoke with interest.
"Now Sunagakure Village urgently needs someone to stabilize people's hearts. If someone else is the Kazekage, there will be more or less certain disadvantages."
"Coupled with Granny Chiyo's instructions before she died, Gaara is the perfect candidate, enough to keep the internal balance of Sunagakure Village from internal losses."
You Dou was sitting on the sofa next to him, flipping through the information in his hand, and spoke without raising his head.
Terumi Mei nodded slightly, she thought so too.
After a while.
After reading the information in his hand, Youdou showed a smile on his face:
"Konoha has given Sunagakure Village so many supplies during this period. It's really a wealth."
As he spoke, You Dou put these information aside.
"Really, you can still laugh."
"It is because of Konoha's constant small moves during this period that some cooperation processes between us and Sunagakure Village have been slow, and some have even had to be stopped."
Terumi Mei rolled her eyes, stretched out her white fingers to rub her temples, and spoke helplessly.
Terumi Mei feels extremely unhappy because of the recent events in Konoha.
But for a while, there was nothing that could be done to take advantage of Konoha. If someone had a lot of money, Kirigakure couldn't give away supplies to Sunagakure Village for free.
If this were true, it would simply mean killing eight hundred enemies and inflicting one thousand losses on oneself. The people of Konoha would probably die of joy.
And it’s a free discount to Sunagakure Village!
Of course, this is not just an issue on Sunagakure's side, but also on other economic aspects, and Konoha is also secretly blocking it.
Although no changes can be seen at present, Terumi Mei knows that if time is prolonged, it will be very detrimental to Kirigakure Village.
In terms of economic strength, Konoha is not called number one for nothing.
"Economic war?"
A strange smile appeared on You Dou's face.
Although the method Konoha is currently taking is extremely crude, it does already have the beginnings of an economic war.
However, You Dou has no worries at all. What economic war needs most is time. This is a silent strategy that moisturizes things.
However, it is too late for Konoha to use this method now, not to mention that Konoha's methods are extremely crude and are completely based on its own abundant financial resources.
However, this also illustrates a problem.
Konoha really does not have a very effective way to deal with Kirigakure Village now, otherwise, it would simply not bother to use such a slow-effective method.
To know!
The world of Naruto is a world where strength is paramount. A shadow-level combat power can overwhelm a small country with one person.
Methods such as economic warfare may have certain uses, but they cannot essentially change the direction of a war.
Some strategies from previous lives, such as economic warfare, may have a powerful effect in a world where combat power is less prominent.
But in a world like Naruto where top combat power can decide everything, the impact can be said to be minimal.
This is also the reason why You Dou doesn't bother to use these methods at all. There is no need to slowly grind things that can be solved with one punch.
Now Konoha is just holding on to the idea of weakening the Kirigakure Village, just one point.
"You really aren't worried at all."
Terumi Mei saw the indifferent expression on Youto's face and complained softly.
but.
Uto's indifference made Terumi Mei feel a little reassured.
"Don't worry about Konoha, just follow the original plan."
"The role of Sunagakure Village is to hold the power of Konoha. Now Sunagakure Village's role has been achieved, isn't it?"
Righto looked at Mei Terumi and smiled softly.
Having said this, Youdou changed his tone with a hint of fun on his face.
"Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, is much more interesting than expected."
You Dou murmured softly with a look of surprise on his face.
Being able to come up with a strategy like economic warfare, even if it is extremely crude, still proves that Tsunade is much smarter than in the original work.
"I heard that Konoha's Tsunade is extremely beautiful."
At this moment, a faint voice came from the direction of Terumi Mei.
"After all, it is called the "Flower of Konoha", so it is naturally extremely beautiful."
Righto nodded slightly, agreeing with what he just said. Youdou had met Tsunade during the last battle between Senju Hashirama.
Not only is she extremely beautiful, her temperament is also eye-catching. No wonder she is called "Tsunade-hime" or "Princess Tsunade" by Konoha.
As soon as You Dou finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill coming from the side.
now.
Terumi Mei had a charming smile on her face and looked at Righto with squinted eyes.
"Yeah?"
"I don't know, Uto-sama, whether Konoha's Tsunade Hokage is more beautiful, or I, the Mizukage, is more beautiful."
Terumi Mei leaned forward slightly, her voice full of curiosity.
There was a hint of astonishment on You Dou's face. At this time, he had already reacted and couldn't help but cough slightly.
"Of course Terumi Mei, you are even more beautiful!"
A very solemn look quickly appeared on You Dou's face, and he spoke extremely seriously, his tone full of sincerity.
Although Youdou is a straight man, he also knows that complimenting one woman in front of another is an extremely dangerous thing.
What's more, what he said is actually true, Terumi Mei is indeed very beautiful.
"there is none left."
Hearing Uto's sincere words, Terumi Mei's face showed a trace of blush, she stretched out her slender fingers painted with blue nail polish to cover her pink lips, and said embarrassedly.
You Dou couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, in front of a beautiful woman, it is best not to mention another beautiful woman.
Just at this time.
Dang! Dang!
A rather hasty knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside the office.
Udo and Terumi Mei looked at each other slightly, with doubt flashing in their eyes.
"come in."
Mei Terumi sat upright again, with a serious expression on her face, and spoke calmly to the door.
As soon as the words fell.
The office door was quickly pushed open, and the look on Qing's face was serious and solemn.
After entering, quickly close the door.
"Uto-sama, Mizukage-sama!"
Qing looked at the two people in the room, bowed quickly and spoke respectfully.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Terumi Mei looked at the expression on Qing's face and asked with some confusion.
Qing's character has always been steady, but something has obviously happened now to make Qing become so serious and dignified.
Right Dou on the side also looked over curiously, and he was also curious about what happened.
"I just received information that Uchiha Madara is now in Iwagakure Village."
"Moreover, Uchiha Madara has reached an alliance with Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village."
Qing said in an extremely serious tone, his tone full of solemnity.
"What did you say!"
Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table and said loudly.
Seeing the surprised look on his Mizukage's face now, Ao was not surprised. You must know that when he first received this information, he was even more surprised and rude than Mizukage-sama.
Uchiha Madara himself possesses top-notch strength, and now, the other party is united with Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages.
I'm afraid all the shinobi villages can understand what it represents.
"Where did you get such important information?"
Terumi Mei knew that she had slightly lost her composure, so she regained her composure, raised her head and looked at Qing, and spoke seriously.
There was a strange expression on Qing's face: "To be precise, this information was not detected by our people."
"What's the meaning?"
Terumi Mei couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Qing in confusion.
"This information was voluntarily revealed by people from Iwagakure Village. If the guess is correct, the other major ninja villages should have received this information by now."
With a trace of solemnity and helplessness on Qing's face, he explained what happened.
Terumi Mei's face showed a hint of astonishment at first, and then returned to the expressionless expression just now, making it impossible to guess the emotion in her heart.
All of a sudden.
The entire Mizukage office suddenly fell into silence.
However, this silence was soon broken by a burst of laughter.
"Interesting, it really fits the character of the guy from the Uchiha class."
Right Dou suddenly chuckled and said with a pointed smile.
There was a bit of confusion on Ao's face, and he didn't understand Uto-sama's sudden laughter or what he said at all.
"Sir Righto, did you notice anything?"
Qing slightly lowered his head and asked respectfully, his voice full of curiosity.
Terumi Mei on the side also looked at him. Compared to Ao, she knew Youto-sama better.
Lord Righto, you must have discovered something!
"The cooperation between Uchiha Madara and Onoki is extremely interesting, don't you think?"
You Dou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a slight smile.
There seems to be... no problem with Uchiha Madara and Ohnoki's cooperation. It seems to be a good thing for both parties.
Terumi Mei and Qing looked at each other slightly, then fell silent.
Are they supposed to say that they didn't notice anything unusual?
If you say this, will you look stupid?
As if aware of the embarrassment of the two of them, Youdou shook his head slightly and spoke directly.
"What kind of personality is Tsuchikage Onoki? I think you should know better than me."
"Such a person, do you think that a dangerous person like Uchiha Madara would appear directly in his village?"
Uto's calm voice reached Ao and Terumi Mei's ears.
Onoki is the Tsuchikage who has held power for the longest time in the entire Iwagakure Village, and he also created the heyday of Iwagakure Village.
Onoki can be said to have an absolute reputation in the entire Iwagakure Village.
It is precisely because of this that Onoki's character is extremely stubborn and tough, both internally and externally.
And a guy like Uchiha Madara with top strength is an absolutely proud person.
Then the crux of the problem appears!
A tough die-hard!
An absolutely proud man!
If two people like this cooperate, then priority is the most important issue.
What's more, anyone who is not a fool can see the danger of Uchiha Madara.
Ohnoki is obviously not a fool, so how could he let such a dangerous Madara Uchiha appear in his village?
Qing couldn't help but frown, with a thoughtful look on his face. He seemed to have grasped the key to the problem, but he didn't seem to grasp it.
A flash of surprise flashed in Terumi Mei's eyes, as if she had thought of something.
