Chapter 121: Birds swim and fish, those who are willing to take the bait

"He's bluffing."

After the picture disappeared, Dongyilang pondered for a moment and then spoke. He came to this conclusion and the conclusion was very simple.

No one would reveal their trump card right away. Was that move powerful? It was powerful, or even very powerful, because fighting on water and on land are two completely different concepts. After all, fighting on the sea does not give you the opportunity to build a bridgehead and advance steadily, as fighting on land does.

In a sense, every ninja battle that takes place on the sea is as brutal as a camp attack, and it is basically a winner-takes-all situation.

That move, unexpectedly, was enough to wipe out an entire Mist Ninja team.
However, such a trump card was actually released so carelessly, and it was said that it was just a test to see if it works. Only a child would believe such a ridiculous statement.

So, there is only one conclusion.

"He doesn't want to go to war with the Mist Ninja. He's just pretending to go to war with the Mist Ninja."

Touichiro concluded.

"But, Mizukage-sama, why did he do this? Building a base camp in the East Sea Port of Whirlpool Country is a real investment. It is estimated that he has already invested tens of millions of taels in this one."

"Because of the internal strife in Konoha."

Touichiro turned slightly and said a few words to the ninja beside him, then he turned and left. Soon, a little girl was brought to the Jonin Council.

"Shouxitian, tell them about Konoha's current situation."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Shouxitian, who still looked like a little loli, took a deep breath and told everything she knew.

"Finally, there are rumors that Elder Tatsune Koharu was also involved in the incident against the leader of the Sanye clan."

"That's all I know."

"What a lunatic."

After learning about the division of power within Konoha, Mizunoe Bing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"He is indeed a madman."

Touichiro nodded.

"But it makes sense. After all, this is a ruthless man who almost wiped out the Hyuga clan when he was eleven years old. This time is the same. He wants to get rid of Utane Koharu, but the only evidence, she, fell into our hands. He wants to negotiate with us and use the war as a crisis to get this woman back."

"So, he deliberately let us know before the war that he really has the ability to fight Kirigakure, and let us think about whether it is worth going to war with him for a woman."

“And this is just one of them.”

"The second is that he wanted to cleanse the Root. Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him the Root to set him up. Between cleansing and joining, he chose the third path, war."

"As expected of a man who has achieved such great success within a year. This is really unexpected."

"So, Master Touichiro, are we still going to fight?"

Karuju Kuraya scratched his hair. He felt a little dizzy, but this did not prevent him from understanding what Mizunoe Hibiki said. His 300 million taels might be wasted.
"Of course. Beat him, and beat him hard!"

Touichiro placed his hands lightly on the table and leaned forward slightly.

"This time, I plan to replicate the war in the Whirlpool Country, pretending to negotiate, and then launch a lightning raid to directly eliminate Kotori Mitsuha! After all, you should also know how much benefit the Never-Sleeping Town brings us every year. This alone is worth our full efforts."

"After all, it's hard to find another place like this in the entire Fire Nation."

As he spoke, Dongyilang took out a scroll from his arms, and after opening it, he saw seven big words written on it.

"Break, big, long, blunt, explosion, thunder, double!"

Everyone present knew that these were seven indestructible weapons made by the second generation leader, Hozuki Gengetsu, with the efforts of the entire village. They were the Seven Mist Swords, and each of them had magical powers. It was just that over the years they had only heard of them but had never seen them.

The reason is very simple. The purpose of making this thing, Hozuki Gengetsu, is to balance the ninja families and civilian ninjas. After witnessing the reforms of the second-generation Hokage, he also knew the power contained in civilian ninjas, so he specially created these seven swords and only gave them to outstanding civilian students who graduated from the ninja school.

Unfortunately, after so many years, no qualified successor has appeared.

"Secret Technique: Ninja Sword Summoning Technique!"

Dongyilang formed seals with his hands and finally slapped them on the word "explosion".

Then, a huge, strangely shaped weapon appeared on the conference table.

It looked more like a huge axe than a knife. The broad blade was densely engraved with patterns of detonating talismans. Right above the patterns, there was a scroll. The strangest thing was that right above the blade, there was a scroll with layers of something similar to paper wrapped around it.

"Exploding Knife·Flying Foam."

Touichiro said, pointing at the knife.

"The most important thing is that it has a special oversized sealing space built in. If you provide enough chakra and chakra paper, you can print detonating tags in batches. It sounds expensive, but think about it, how many detonating tags can you bring to the battlefield? With this weapon, in a single battle, you can even think that you have unlimited detonating tags."

"Kuraya, considering your sincerity in giving me 300 million ryo, I will lend you this sword for the time being. Your purpose is also very simple. I will use the three tails to harass him, and you find a chance to blow up the ship where the giant tree is. Without him, that guy won't be a threat. Any problem?"

"no!"

"That's good, but you have to provide the chakra paper yourself."

"."

“You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, while the people looking at the scenery look at you from the upper floors.”

"The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams."

Li Zhongren watched everything in the Kirigakure office through the man from the Shimura clan. Although Li Harry was more of a hindrance than a helper, he would never ask this guy to play for him again in his life, but to be honest, his magical attainments were still good enough. He recovered a lot of memories from Danzo, especially the Shimura intelligence network that he had built throughout the ninja world, which has now basically been taken over by him.

Moreover, the most interesting point is that the biggest feature of the intelligence organization created by Danzo is that it respects rules rather than people. They will listen to whoever has the secret order. This is also what Danzo repeatedly emphasized at the beginning, but it ended up making things difficult for him.

"What are you laughing at?"

At the edge of the East China Sea Port, Li Zhongren was sitting on the beach fishing.

Beside him, was Uzumaki Kushina, who was daydreaming with him. Perhaps it was because of her childhood experience that this girl now liked daydreaming.
"The fish is hooked"
-
Whirlpool Country, East Sea Port
A ship flying the flag of the Mist Ninja slowly approached the shore, and several Mist Ninja ninjas came down from it, led by Mizunotsuki Hiyori.

Just as he said, wherever he appears, he always attracts the attention of many men. Fortunately, he has gotten used to it. As long as these people don't come to disturb him, he will pretend not to see them.

More importantly, his attention at this moment was focused on the bird Mitsuha who was waiting for him not far away.

This was also the first time he saw Mitsuha Takanashi in real life.

It is hard to imagine that such a young man who looks very elegant has accomplished so many great things in this year, both internally and externally.

After all, the remains of the two thousand Rain Ninjas in the Rain Country are still there.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Mizunoe Hiyori. I'm here on the orders of the Sandaime Touichiro to discuss matters concerning the Whirlpool Country with the head of the Mitsuha clan."

"please."

Li Zhongren also glanced at Mizunotsuki Bing. He felt very similar to Bai, but with a more capable look. And, the most amazing thing was that time seemed to leave no traces on their faces. This was probably related to the ice escape technique.

The Land of Fire, Short Book Street.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was eating his breakfast, exquisite seafood from the Kingdom of Tea, which was delivered here at the fastest speed and put into his mouth at just the right time, because this is what the special ninjas of the Kingdom of Tea, the running ninjas, do.

These people had little fighting ability, but they were good at running, so they started doing delivery work.

"Sir, it's not good."

"What's wrong? You look so flustered."

"Little Bird Swims Three Leaves"

“He’s coming??”

The Chancellor rose hastily.

A year ago, that person was already a ninja who could leave a big hole in Tansho Street. A year later, he was already a person who could compete with the Konoha Hokage.

I even received a golden Buddha on the throne from him!

Are you here to go back?
"No, his projection appeared above Tanbe Street."

"What the hell?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer hurried out of his luxurious residence and looked up.

Sure enough, a huge projection was floating in the sky in the center of Tansho Street.

The projection showed Mitsuha Kotori and an incredibly beautiful woman? A man? He couldn't tell.

As the sound resounded throughout Tansho Street, he realized that this was a live broadcast from the ruins of the Whirlpool Country, because on one side of the image, there was a line of text like this.
At this moment, Mitsuha Kotori is discussing with the head of Kirigakure about the destruction of the Whirlpool Country.
"etc.."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had been immersed in politics for many years, suddenly thought of a possibility.

Such images may appear in every big city.
This new powerful person seems to be playing with something very new.
"The war between the Land of Water and the Land of Whirlpools has been over for many years. It is impossible to investigate the right and wrong."

Li Zhongren spoke.

"But the Hidden Mist Village not only destroyed the Whirlpool Country, but also killed almost all the ordinary people in the Whirlpool Country. So far, I have only seen no more than ten survivors of the Whirlpool Country, and six of them are in miserable situations because of you."

As he spoke, he pointed to six red-haired women in the distance, who were obviously the remnants of the Whirlpool Country.

"I don't want to know what your purpose is in doing this. I just want to ask you for sufficient compensation for my wife and the countless people who died in the Land of Whirlpools. Ten billion taels, or ore of equal value, or anything else!"

"That's impossible."

Hearing Li Zhongren's exaggerated asking price which was almost astronomical, Mizunoe Bing blurted out instinctively.

"So, what's the price you can offer?"

"Forehead"

Mizunotsuki Shiro instinctively felt that something was wrong, but couldn't seem to put his finger on it.

"At most... one billion ryo, in exchange for the Kirigakure ninja that you have detained."

After hesitating for a moment, Mizunotsuki Haku said this number as planned. It was also huge, but not as exaggerated as 10 billion.

"We have brought the money and supplies, but they are staying on the high seas. We want to trade on the high seas, in your base camp. Even if we give you the money, you may not be willing to let go of our hundreds of ninjas."

"can."

Li Zhongren nodded again.

This time, Mizunotsuki Haku finally felt that something was wrong. The other party never mentioned the name of the traitorous female ninja Shuseiten from beginning to end.

However, the matter had already been planned to this point, and he had no choice. If he took the initiative to mention this matter, it might lead to other consequences. After all, their people from the Mist Hidden Cave had already ambushed under the sea in advance.
"Young girl."

The Minister of Finance looked at this scene and actually had some calculations in his mind. Although he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he could feel that Mitsuha Takanashi was actively leading her to speak, and as a result, the little girl foolishly admitted it.

Now, I guess everyone in the big cities of the ninja world, as well as the daimyo of the major countries, knows that you, the Mist Ninja, not only kill ninjas, but also ordinary people.
"So, he's asking for a status?"

The Chancellor of Finance watched the two people stand up and walk together to the huge thing that looked more like land than a ship. Then, with the help of countless tree roots, the thing moved at an unreasonable speed in the sea. He couldn't help but think in his heart.

"But what's the use of this title?"

"Let everyone reject Kirigakure?"

"But what's the use?"

As one of the five great nations in the ninja world, this kind of exclusion is meaningless to them. After all, Kirigakure has a bad reputation. However, one thing is certain, they lack sufficient information. This young man will not waste his efforts.
"Hey"

Sighing, the finance minister returned to his mansion. However, he still took another look at the little girl. It was a pity for her to be a ninja. How happy it would be if she could be stripped naked and put in his bed.
　Two updates, and a short nap.
