Chapter 136: Konoha and the Land of Iron are brothers. Pay more money, pay more money!

noon
A young blonde girl was running on the streets of Konoha, followed by a red-haired old woman. Unfortunately, the blonde girl was captured alive.

"Tsunade, go home!"

"Grandma will teach you ninjutsu!"

Uzumaki Mito is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Compared to causing trouble for Uchiha Nan, it is easier to just capture Tsunade.
"Grandma, stop pulling my ears, it hurts."

Tsunade's ears were lifted up by Uzumaki Mito, but actually Uzumaki Mito didn't use much strength. But the crying child gets the milk. Tsunade understood this truth a long time ago. When Uzumaki Mito gets angry, she has to act pitiful.

"Humph, now you feel the pain, let's go... go home, and don't go see that Uchiha Nan guy!"

Uzumaki Mito let go of his hand and grabbed Tsunade's arm, intending to take Tsunade home and keep her under strict watch, while he went on to fool around with Uchiha Kusunoki without saying a word.

The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie. Tsunade follows Uchiha Nan, and sooner or later she will be deceived by Uchiha Nan and even count money for him.

"Grandma, please don't, Hokage-sama is a good man!"

Tsunade reluctantly tried to break free from Uzumaki Mito's hand, but it was useless as Uzumaki Mito pulled Tsunade home and kept whispering in her ear.

"Tsunade, how dare you teach Yang Yue how to gamble!"

"I haven't settled accounts with you about this matter yet. I think your pocket money is still too much!"

Uchiha Nan walked around a street and found that Uzumaki Mito was not chasing him, so he stopped and walked slowly. One should not do strenuous exercise after eating, as it is bad for the body.

The afternoon is the time for Uchiha Nan to practice the Sage Mode as usual. In recent times, Uchiha Nan has been obsessed with practice and has already been able to enter the Sage Mode initially. Yellow eye lines have appeared at the corners of his eyes. It will take some time to fully master the Sage Mode.

This progress is already considered fast. Even Gama Fukasaku is praising Uchiha Nan's talent.

Although he couldn't be as amazing as the first Hokage, who could activate Sage Mode with a clap of his hands and make absorbing natural energy into the body as easy as breathing, the Uchiha were, after all, descendants of the Six Paths Sage, so their talent was guaranteed.

But Jiraiya, who came to Myoboku Mountain with Uchiha Kusunoki to learn the Sage Mode, belongs to the category of ordinary people. He is still in the stage of meditation, learning how to feel the natural energy and absorb it into the body.

According to the original work, Jiraiya wanted to master the Sage Mode and be able to use it in battle, but it took him more than ten years. However, he was considered to have good talent and at least he succeeded in practicing the Sage Mode.

At the same time, two dusty visitors appeared in the Hokage Building.

One was wearing dark green armor with a sword hanging from his waist, standard samurai attire. The other was wearing standard ninja attire and a helmet emblem of the Rain Village on his head.

The two were sitting awkwardly on the chairs in the reception room. Who was the peak at the end of the ninja village? As soon as they saw Konoha's dream was empty, they were shocked by the development of Konoha and could not speak as soon as they entered Konoha.
Wasn't it said that the meat grinder of the First Ninja World War exhausted and severely damaged the five major ninja villages in the ninja world?

There is no gloomy atmosphere in Konoha. It is full of vitality and everything is growing. The development is so terrifying. This ninja village must not be left. What a joke
The envoy from the Iron Country was amazed at the development of Konoha, but he didn't think too much about it. Konoha was still the powerful Konoha, and the Iron Country was still the Iron Country.

In the Land of Iron, ninjas are not the mainstream, samurai occupy a dominant position. The old people of the previous era cling to the old ways and huddle in the Land of Iron, unwilling to embrace the mainstream - becoming ninjas, refining chakra, and practicing ninjutsu.

If a samurai does not cultivate chakra and practice ninjutsu, no matter how hard he practices, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly stronger in front of a ninja. Chakra is the key to unlocking the extraordinary in this world.

Of course, in recent times, they have opened their eyes to the world. The leader of the Rain Village, Hanzo, did not go out in person. He directly sent his minions in a small group into the Iron Kingdom to gather information and grab some money. Unexpectedly, the samurai of the Iron Kingdom were so weak that they were defeated.

Voices calling for reform and change began to spread among the samurai class of the Iron Kingdom. It was really impossible not to cultivate chakra. The Genin who cultivated chakra could beat the samurai of the Iron Kingdom, but it was too late now. The enemies had already come to the door.

We must find a big boss to hold on to and let the Iron Kingdom catch its breath. It is right to come to Konoha today. But the envoy of Rain Village seems uneasy. Konoha is still the powerful Konoha, but the Rain Village has thoughts that they should not have.

The internal situation of the Rain Country is turbulent, with civil war and division. This shitty country environment eventually gave birth to a poison king - Hanzo, who is very powerful and has highly poisonous salamanders. He can release poison gas on a large scale, and the person will die within seconds after inhaling the poison gas. He is invincible in mowing down enemies on the battlefield and is super suitable for team battles.

With his great strength, great ambitions and personal charm, Hanzo attracted a group of ninjas who followed him and gave a speech in a pub.

"What did the nobles of the Rain Country do to sell a pound of grain?"

"We must unite and build our own ninja village!"

"."

The deep and magnetic voice, and the speech from low to high, excited and encouraged all the ninjas present. They raised their arms and shouted "Long live Lord Hanzo".

The Rain Village was established on the spot!
Later, Hanzo carried out a series of assassinations and suppressions internally, supported the current Daimyo of the Rain Country, put down the rebellion, and killed all the Xiao Xiao in the Rain Country. He actively expanded the living space externally and went out to rob money to support his family!

Hanzo's execution efficiency was very high, and the domestic environment of the Rain Country soon entered a stable period. The noble merchants who had hoarded food in the chaotic situation, bought low and sold high, and worked part-time as loan sharks, all became honest. Hanzo really killed people, and many people were killed. But it didn't matter, the daimyo supported him, and the daimyo needed a ninja village to help him clear up the rebellion, and it wasn't like Hanzo wouldn't share his money.

The more of these rubbish die, the better!
The price of food was pushed down to a level that ordinary people could afford. The daimyo's political enemies and nobles were assassinated by the ninjas of Rain Village, and their entire families were killed. Their properties were confiscated, and the land was distributed to the common people. Hanzo has been deified in the Land of Rain!
Hanzo was young and ambitious, he wanted to create a more affluent living space for the Rain Country and Rain Village. He took advantage of the opportunity of the First Ninja World War to hide for several years and clean up the country!
In the First Ninja World War, the five major ninja villages were severely damaged. It’s time for the Rain Village to step forward!
Hanzo wants to create a new and united victory - to build the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world. He will start with small ninja villages and small countries to test the waters!

Everything was going extremely smoothly until today. The envoy from the Rain Village witnessed the prosperity of Konoha. It was surprising that the foundation of the five major ninja villages was so terrifying, and they were able to recover in such a short time. Was it just Konoha's ninja village that was like this, or were all five ninja villages like this!
The envoy of Rain Village was worried and admired the foresight of Chief Hanzo for starting with the small ninja villages and small countries instead of the big ninja villages. Otherwise, Rain Village's ambition to dominate the ninja world and become the sixth largest ninja village would probably be shattered!

"Emissary from the Iron Kingdom, please come in first."

Nara Shikato walked into the reception room and asked the envoy from the Iron Kingdom to follow him to the office next door.

Arriving at the next office, the Iron Country envoy briefly exchanged pleasantries with Nara Shikaon and handed him a red envelope. "It's my first time in Konoha, it's really presumptuous!"

"The Iron Country is poor, and there are no special products worth mentioning. Only some tea is acceptable. Please accept it!"

Nara Shikayuan weighed the weight and a smile appeared on his face. What a sensible person!

As the assistant of the Hokage of Konoha and the right-hand man of the Hokage, it is common for him to be treated to meals and given gifts.

Of course, which money can be collected and which cannot be collected, Nara Shikaon is very clear that the great Hokage only looks at the efficiency of work, whether the work can be done, and if it cannot be done, it will be sent to the Anbu for torture and spiritual secret techniques.
"Tea is good. Drinking tea can prolong your life!"

Nara Shikayuan took the envelope and put it in his arms, and the two smiled at each other.

Just collect the money, just collect the money!
"Lord Shikayuan, the Rain Village invaded our Iron Country without reason. Konoha is the largest ninja village in the ninja world and a role model for pursuing peace. Please show mercy and save our Iron Country from the water and fire!"

After the Iron Country envoy finished speaking, his eyes became moist and he looked as if he was being bullied.

"Of course, Konoha has always pursued peace."

"It's just that Konoha just ended the war not long ago, the financial pressure is huge, and the number of ninjas has been greatly reduced. I'm afraid. Alas."

"Konoha is now...a desolate place, everything is in ruins, cough cough"

The envoy from the Iron Country widened his eyes and looked at Nara Shikato in disbelief. You call Konoha today a desolate place?
Nara Shikayuan couldn't continue talking. But he still refused to give in. More money, more money! !
You want Konoha to do things for you without any money?
Even if you give money it may not work!

"Of course. The Iron Country will understand Konoha's difficulties. The Iron Country is willing to pay the price. Please help Konoha!"

The envoy of the Iron Country gnashed his teeth. He knew that Konoha would not help the Iron Country for free, but could Konoha find a better excuse? If Konoha could say such a thing as a declining country, then what was his Iron Country? Was it already on the brink of extinction? Well, it seemed that it was indeed on the brink of extinction.
Take the money to get rid of the disaster.
"Konoha needs high-quality iron ore, coal mines, and iron ore sales channels. Join Konoha's futures trading system and provide tax exemptions for Konoha's products."

Nara Shikato took out the agreement and read out its general contents. The envoy of the Iron Country took the agreement. It involved a series of agreements ranging from economy to politics. Konoha would import low-priced raw materials from the Iron Country and then export them as industrial products.

The conditions are very harsh!
After reading it, the Iron Country envoy looked embarrassed. Such conditions were simply selling out the country. Konoha specifically requested some of the country's important large iron and coal mines, which were important financial sources for the Iron Country.
but.
"If you have no objection, you can sign it now. According to intelligence, the Rain Village will soon gather a large number of troops to attack the Iron Country. If you don't sign, your Iron Country will lose more than this."

Nara Shikaon saw the hesitation of the Iron Country envoy and fabricated false information. The Rain Village actually planned to rob and run away, and then withdraw troops back to the village to develop the economy. Moreover, the conditions offered by Konoha were indeed very harsh.

Anyway, the intelligence of the Iron Kingdom is backward. How can a backward armed group composed of a group of samurai have a strong intelligence network? They are just remnants of the old era.

"Can you, Konoha, guarantee that the Rain Village will withdraw its troops?"

The envoy from the Iron Country felt like a knife was placed on his neck, unable to advance or retreat. Konoha only wanted money, but the Rain Village not only wanted money, but also land and their lives. Comparing the two, it was obvious that the conditions offered by Konoha were more acceptable.

But it turns out that Konoha is also a ruthless tiger. Can Konoha really force the Rain Village to withdraw its troops?

"Hmm what do you think?"

Nara Shikato opened the window, revealing the prosperous scene of Konoha.

"OK then"

The envoy of the Iron Country remembered the entrustment of the Daimyo of the Iron Country to him that he must seek the assistance of Konoha at all costs. The ninjas of the Rain Village are still conducting house raids in the Iron Country, killing entire families and then taking away all the family's money.

In order to protect their homeland, the Iron Country even broke the existing rules. They gave up hiring samurai and chose to hire ninjas as guards.
The envoy from the Iron Country spoke weakly. He was in bad luck this time. After signing the document, he would become a national criminal. The daimyo would definitely use him as a scapegoat. He had to retire and return home.

Reform, innovation. The Iron Kingdom cannot continue like this. Samurai are really a thing of the past. They must practice chakra and learn ninjutsu.
"Then sign it!"

Nara Shikaon showed a satisfied smile. After watching the envoy from the Iron Kingdom sign the document, he smiled and saw him out. Then he called the envoy from the Rain Village in with a serious face.

"Does the Rain Village want to be the enemy of Konoha and start a war?!"

Nara Shikayuan did not give the Rain Village Ninja a good look. He shouted at him as soon as he entered the door, and the Rain Village envoy's face suddenly changed.

The majesty of the superior and the strength and prosperity of Konoha made the envoy from Rain Village dare not say a word.

The originally ambitious envoy of Rain Village, after seeing the prosperity of Konoha, had his ambition extinguished by following Lord Hanzo to make Rain Village the sixth largest ninja village.

A dilapidated and severely weakened Konoha could still give the Rain Village an opportunity to take advantage of it, but the current Konoha is more prosperous than they can imagine. Konoha can compete with the four major ninja villages on its own and shows no signs of decline. Such a Konoha is not something their Rain Village can contend with.

We must lie dormant and develop silently. Konoha is now invincible!
"Master Lu Yuan, believe me. We in the Rain Village definitely don't have such thoughts. There must be a misunderstanding."

"The Iron Country is Konoha's neighbor. Konoha will never allow any ninja village with ill intentions to wage war against the Iron Country."

"According to the intelligence, you, the Rain Village, want to start a war against the Iron Country. This is intolerable!"

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

The envoy from Rain Village smiled miserably. As expected, the Iron Country had clung to Konoha's thigh. The looting plan had to be temporarily stopped. They had no intention of launching a war against the Iron Country. Rain Village had not yet developed well. They were simply leaving the village to rob money.
