The land of fire, Konoha.
Danzo wore a Hokage hat and suppressed his inner excitement: "This closed-door meeting of the elders is related to sending troops to the Land of Rain. This time the Daimyo is bleeding a lot. How many ninjas will we send out in Konoha this time?"
"A bounty of 5,000 taels is placed on the head of a citizen of the Land of Rain, a bounty of 30,000 taels is placed on a low-level official or soldier; a bounty of 100,000 taels is placed on the head of ordinary ninjas and samurai; a bounty of one million taels is placed on the head of senior officials and main ninjas of the Akatsuki organization... The jounin of the Akatsuki organization, There is a reward of ten million taels... The three leaders of the Akatsuki organization are offering a reward of one billion taels..." Hokage advisor Mito Kadoen picked up the war power of attorney sent by the daimyo.
I couldn't help but feel shocked.
These kill lists completely correspond to the mission levels they set.
And one person in the Kingdom of Rain is enough to complete the task of more than ten years in normal times.
If this mission is carried out, Konoha's finances, which are stretched due to the Third Ninja War, will immediately improve.
As for Konoha losing a lot of ninja during the Third Ninja War?
Just collect orphans in the Land of Fire and train them... one or two years of ninja training, and then issue a kunai. Isn't this just a genin?
"Are these lords crazy? Do they want to cleanse the entire Kingdom of Rain?" Koharu, another Hokage advisor, frowned when he went to bed.
"Well, it's probably because the common people of the Land of Rain have purged their nobles first." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a wry smile.
He saw with his own eyes that the Dawn Army of the Land of Rain burned the Rain Ninja Village and the daimyo and nobles hiding in the Rain Ninja Village to ashes with one blow.
At that moment, he anticipated such an encirclement and suppression situation.
Those incompetent daimyo and nobles react faster than anyone else when it comes to their own ruling order and fundamental interests.
Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew.
In the Land of Fire, forces and individuals who worship the Akatsuki organization and yearn for the Land of Rain have begun to appear in various parts of the ninja world.
Some areas have even begun to learn from the Kingdom of Rain.
How could those famous nobles not be so anxious!
"Can they really get that much bounty?"
The bounties on the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization are higher than those of the Five Shadows. Those three people are equivalent to three billion taels.
Even for the wealthy Fire Nation, three billion taels was a quite terrifying figure.
"The daimyo and nobles of each country jointly contributed two billion taels, and the daimyo of the five countries jointly delivered a total of ten billion taels in advance! In addition, neighboring small countries, businessmen from various countries, major temples, etc. will also raise funds. Preliminary estimates , and it won’t be less than 10 billion!”
"It's not just us ninjas who are taking action, but also samurai, monks, shrine maidens, daimyo guards... everyone is eager to get wealth from the Land of Rain!"
Danzo sneered and said: "This time, it is the entire world that is targeting the Land of Rain!"
"Oh, this is too cruel...those people from the Land of Rain are actually doing quite well." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
Danzo said: "Sending troops is inevitable. Now what we want to discuss is: How many ninjas should we dispatch in Konoha? Should we mobilize jinchūriki to enter the battlefield? In three days, the Five Shadows Conference will be held. By then, we in Konoha can The mobilized troops will determine my status among the five-nation coalition."
As he spoke, Danzo stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He had only been the Hokage not long ago, and his prestige among Konoha was completely inferior to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been the Hokage for decades.
Many of Konoha's top fighters are close followers of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Based on Danzo's personal opinion, Konoha will use all its strength this time, and it is even better to absorb some of the wave ninja and rebel ninja before the encirclement and suppression to increase Konoha's prestige.
In this way, Konoha can not only get the biggest piece of cake in this feast, but also can demonstrate to the other ninja villages through Konoha.
But without the support of former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is difficult to say to what extent his order can be implemented.
"I don't recommend sending out too many people." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.
He said with lingering fear: "Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, is too powerful. He possesses the legendary Immortal Eyes! We may not win this battle."
As a former Hokage, his strength is definitely not weak, but if he is in the Land of Rain, facing Nagato who has tens of thousands of ninjas providing chakra.
He just felt as fragile as a child.
And that kind of legion ninjutsu cannot be achieved by the combined army. It is very difficult to conduct chakra itself. The loss of long-distance transmission alone is very unexpected. Moreover, no one among the ninjas can withstand so much chakra.
That kind of strong person is even less powerful than the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, the Legion Ninjutsu of Rain Country should also rely heavily on the ability of the Samsara Eye.
If you are unable to cope with the legion ninjutsu of the Land of Rain.
Sending troops to the Land of Rain only sent the ninjas to their deaths.
"It is precisely because that boy has immortal eyes that I have to send so many troops!" Danzo remained calm on the surface, but roared in his heart.
Are the changes in the Land of Rain good?
At least in Danzo's view, it was a good idea to eradicate the corrupt daimyo and let ninjas take power.
When he had not become Hokage, he always thought that after he became Hokage, the situation in Konoha would be better, at least better than when Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, and maybe it would be like when the first Hokage was in power. of glory.
But wait until he becomes Hokage.
Just found out.
The position of Hokage is not that easy to achieve.
So many things to worry about.
Many things really cannot be solved!
Both the left and the right are wrong, and you can only choose between being wrong or getting more wrong.
At first, Danzo was also very distressed and really thought that those things could not be solved...
But after reading the information from the Kingdom of Rain, he realized something.
It wasn't that he couldn't solve Konoha's problems.
But his status as Shimura Danzo is too low!
If he could become the great name of the Fire Country and hold the financial power of the Fire Country...
At that time, all the problems Konoha encounters will be solved!
The Fire Nation will also be stronger!
He may even unify the entire ninja world with the power of the Fire Nation!
This time he sent troops to the Kingdom of Rain, and planned to send some of the root ninjas to record the system of the Kingdom of Rain, and prepare to secretly try it out in some places in the Kingdom of Fire.
The pair of samsara eyes in Nagato's eyes were regarded by Danzo as his own.
He knew that his strength was not as good as that of the First Hokage, but if he could transplant the Rinnegan Eyes, he might be even stronger than the First Hokage...
And want to get those reincarnation eyes.
This time Konoha will mobilize enough troops and dispatch enough strong men.
The Hokage advisors here, the Sannin, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and that boy Namikaze Minato... He plans to let all Konoha's top combat forces enter the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
Only in this way can his chances of obtaining the Samsara Eye be high enough.
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Danzo sneered: "Hiruzen, you are too cowardly! Maybe staying in the Hokage's office all year round has made you forget what the battlefield is like."
"You..." Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at this old friend for half his life with his eyes widened, as if he recognized him for the first time.
"I have made up my mind, this time Konoha will move in full force." Danzo said coldly: "Hiruzhan, you should call your two disciples back. If I can't see you on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain this time, If they get to them, they’ll be waiting to be included in the list of traitorous ninjas!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and pointed at his old friend with trembling fingers. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Danzo, you will regret it!"
"Hmph, Hiruzen, I am the Hokage now!" Danzo said happily.
In the past, he had been choked by Sandai using these words several times.
Every time, he could only shut the door and leave in a rage.
Today I finally made it back!
At this moment, Danzo felt as if he had eaten hundreds of ginseng fruits, feeling refreshed from his skin to his bone marrow...
