The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 399
Perhaps it was because everyone was more curious about the results of the Five Kages Conference. Not to mention half an hour, almost a quarter of an hour later, the seven elders who stayed behind in the village rushed to the Hokage office one after another.

"Lord Hokage."

"Lord Hokage."

"..."

Everyone saluted Hanzo one after another.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Hanzo did not continue to wait, but said concisely: "Since everyone is here, please sit down."

After all the elders sat down, Hanzo took out the agreement signed by the Five Kages Assembly from his ninja bag, passed it to Hashirama who was sitting beside him on his left, and said, "Let's pass it on and read it first. "

So, except for Hanzo, Madara, and Genji, the remaining seven elders browsed through the agreement one after another.

Gradually, surprise appeared on the brows of everyone.

Even Tomona, who has always been resourceful, or an old man like Senju Takemoto and Uchiha Kazuya who are calm and self-reliant, couldn't help but widen their eyes.

It's not that everyone is not calm enough, it's really because the agreement reached at the Five Kages Conference this time is unheard of in the entire known history of the ninja world.

The 200 billion funds obtained by Selling Tail Beast is nothing more than that, after all, everyone has already learned the news one day in advance.

What really horrified the elders was the permanent Five Kage Conference and a series of political and military agreements derived from it. This is also the focus of the Five Great Ninja Village's diplomatic system.

Like the diplomatic system established between the famous houses of the five major countries, it is a mediation mechanism mediated by in-laws, and it is essentially just a peacemaker.

What's more, nowadays the famous houses of various countries do not use force. The so-called mediation of conflicts is actually a battle for face between nobles and gentlemen.

In contrast, the diplomatic system established by the Five Great Ninja Villages is like the difference between children playing house and black bosses working together.

After the last elder finished reading, Hanzo put the agreement back and said at the same time: "Since everyone has finished reading, let me say two things first."

Stretching out two fingers, Hanzo continued: "First of all, I think you may have seen that the key to the system of the Five Kages Conference is to use the strength of a small country to support a big country, so as to avoid wars between big countries. We need to accept enough younger brothers in the surrounding area."

"But Hokage-sama, how should we subdue those small countries?" The newly promoted senior advisor Kurama Canglan asked in a timely manner.

Hanzo smiled lightly and said: "It's very simple, as long as we take action to promote the joint construction of ninja villages in those small countries and join the Five Kages Conference, then we can have enough influence on these small ninja villages, and then pass These small ninja villages maintain influence on those small countries."

"What about our goal?" This time, it was Katsumoto Shimada, the elder in charge of the Ministry of Commerce who spoke.

After pondering for a moment, Hanzo said, "...there are four tentative targets: the country of Sichuan, the country of tea, the country of fields, and the country of Taki."

After listening to Hanzo's words, all the elders became thoughtful.

The country of tea is easy to say. The country of tea is located on the peninsula at the southern end of Konoha. There is only one neighboring country in Konoha, and it is far away from any other big country. It is reasonable for Konoha to take the country of tea.

The Tianzhi Kingdom is also in a similar situation. It is located in the north of Konoha, and there are at least two small countries separated from other surrounding big countries. It can be said that it naturally belongs to Konoha's sphere of influence.

But the country of Sichuan and the country of Taki are not so simple.

The country of Kawa is located between Konoha and Sagakure, and the country of Taki is located between Konoha and Iwagakure, and both countries are considered to be that kind of rich land. If Konoha wants to get it, it must let the two major ninja villages give up.

"Hokage-sama, what should we do if Sagakure and Iwagakure fight each other?" Uchiha Kazuya asked aloud.

As the responsible elder of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has a relatively heavy say when it comes to foreign affairs.

Hanzang shook his head when he heard the words, and said calmly: "There are many small countries between Konoha, Sand and Iwagakure. In addition to the country of Sichuan and Taki, there are also the country of grass, the country of birds, and the country of rain. The country of Ninja, the country of bears, etc., we only took down two small countries, which is already giving face to the two big ninja villages."

Listening to Hanzo's words, the other elders couldn't help but slander.

That's not how it works out.

The Kingdom of Chuan and the Kingdom of Taki are the richest of these small countries, and their area is relatively large.

Although the other small countries are not places where birds don't shit, there is still a certain gap compared with these two countries.

However, the elders did not refute Hanzo.

Konoha's current strength is significantly higher than that of other Ninja Villages. Although the Five Kage Convention system is established, Konoha is no longer suitable for easily threatening other Ninja Villages, but correspondingly, other Ninja Villages must also recognize Konoha's interests.

On the cake of ninja world, it is only natural for Konoha to gnaw the biggest piece.

And in fact, there is no way for Hanzo to plan to take down so many small countries.

The main reason is the fog.

There are only four small countries between Konoha, Yunyin, and Wuyin: the Kingdom of the Moon, the Country of Tang, the Country of Uzumaki, and the Country of Waves.

Among them, the land of waves is too small, and there is no possibility of establishing a ninja village.

Due to the special relationship between Uzumaki and the Senju clan, Uzumaki became Konoha's younger brother early on.

In this way, even if Konoha does not intervene, there are only two younger brothers who can compete between Yun Yin and Wu Yin, namely the Moon Country and the Tang Country.

Although the Kingdom of the Moon is good, its territory is not too large and its output is limited. Therefore, the only hen that lays golden eggs is the Kingdom of Tang.

Kirigakure and Umogakure are equal in strength, but considering that the Moon Country and Tang Country are adjacent to Umogakure, and there is a long sea area between them, Hanzo feels that Umogakure has a high probability of success.

In this way, it is very likely that Kirigakure will fail under the system of the Five Kages Conference.

This is a bit of a hassle.

And since Hanzo is planning the puppet Kirigakure Village, he will raise a dog and give him a few meaty bones from time to time. If Konoha doesn't share some benefits with Kirigakure, and forces him to bow his head, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.

So after deliberation, Hanzo decided that it would be better to form a lion pride-like structure with Kirigakure.

Generally, a lion group will consist of one master and two lion kings at a time, and a group of female lions.

Hanzo's goal is for Konoha to become the highest Lion King, followed by Kirigakure.

And the four small countries that Konoha took over are responsible for supporting the "liones" of the two Ninja villages.

In this way, Konoha naturally had to be "greedy".

While thinking about it, the expression on Hanzo’s face did not fluctuate, and he said calmly: “Okay, the issue of the small country will be discussed and resolved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Mission Department and the Logistics Department. If you have any troubles, please tell me. Now we On to the second thing..."
