Chapter 198 Uchiha Nan: I’m really going to be America in this chapter!
"Hokage-sama, the envoy from the Rain Village has arrived. Do you want to meet him?"
Nara Shikaon pushed the door open and asked for Uchiha Nan's opinion. The Rain Village is now a hot potato and no one wants to touch it.
The five major countries officially determined that the Rain Village was a group of evil people, the most evil elements that had never appeared in the ninja world.
Anyone in the ninja world can kill him!
Although the Sand Village, the Iwagakure Village, the Kumogakure Village, and the Mist Village were cautious and unwilling to send troops easily, they still followed the daimyo in issuing a condemnation statement, believing that the Rain Village had disrupted the order of the Ninja World and was a destabilizing factor in the Ninja World, and must be punished until the Rain Village was completely destroyed.
Konoha remained silent, looking like a neutral observer, and was busy with his business.
But silence is ambiguity, and ambiguity is partiality.
The new version of the Will of Rain that is everywhere in the Land of Rain has already shown that the source of this damn thought comes from Konoha, who believes that Konoha is the best friend, partner, and ally of the Rain Village.
Occasionally, there are some confused ministers in the officialdom of the five major countries who ask to settle accounts with Konoha at the same time.
The source of extreme evil must never be tolerated!
However, the officials of the five major countries immediately issued an official statement, saying that it must be the evil elements in the Rain Village who fabricated the rumors. This was a premeditated attempt by those evil elements in the Rain Village to create misunderstandings and conflicts between Konoha and the five major countries.
No one can alienate the relationship between Konoha and the five major countries!
Those ministers who were unable to understand the situation were quickly demoted and severely criticized by the daimyō of their respective countries.
You bunch of idiots, are you planning to destroy the ninja world?
The man had just spoken in the morning, and in the afternoon he was stripped of all his official positions, from top to bottom. In the evening, on the way back to his hometown, he was shot in the back with eighteen kunai and died. In the end, it was ruled as suicide.
"Oh, it's finally here?"
"Then let him in."
Uchiha Nan nodded, and continued to think about the current situation in the ninja world.
Seeing the future is never as clear as looking at the past!
If Konoha wants to gain the greatest benefit, it must first remain neutral, then watch the fire from the other side, sell arms and various supplies to both sides. It must wait until the fighting is almost over and the outcome is about to be decided, and then make a shining appearance!
The first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle!
Uchiha Nan likes this strategy very much. Of course, this is not the main reason. It is more for the ninja world. Transforming the ideology of the ninja world is Uchiha Nan’s main purpose.
Make a little money by the way. Ahem. Just by the way.
The change in ideology cannot be accomplished overnight. Uchiha Nan worked hard for several years but only completely changed the new generation of Konoha.
Old school ninjas are like rotten rocks in the toilet, very difficult to deal with.
It is still unknown how long it will take to change the entire ninja world.
Konoha desperately needs the help of the Rain Village to carry out a thorough enlightenment movement in the ninja world.
The Rain Village is now unprecedentedly powerful, with countless younger brothers waving flags and cheering for them.
The title of Rain Village's leader, Hanzo Salamander - Demigod of the Ninja World, is not an exaggeration. In the Second Ninja World War, he led Rain Village to fight against the two old ninja villages, Konoha and Sunagakure, with the strength of one village alone.
The commander's ability is maximized!
There is no need to say much about the personal strength of Salamander Hanzo.
Do you understand the value of the Three Ninjas of Konoha?
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya have been roaming the ninja world with this name, and have made the name famous. They do not think it is a shame for them to have lost to Hanzo of the Salamander and been given the name by him.
However, in the later part of the anime, Hanzo behaved like a small fry. (Kishimoto, you are so heartless!)
In any case, at this time, it is not an exaggeration to call Rain Village the sixth largest ninja village.
Apart from the lack of weapons of mass destruction such as the tailed beasts, it really has nothing missing.
Not only that, the rebellious ninjas and wandering ninjas in the ninja world were inspired by the Rain Village and continued to head towards the Rain Village, wanting to join the great Ninja Kingdom.
This group of ninjas at the bottom of the ninja world would not care about such high-sounding words as the order of the ninja world and endless disasters.
They are all a group of small characters. Topics like the future of the ninja world are too far away and too high-end for them. They are a group of rabble who only see their own little piece of land.
But this is not important. The ninja world can do without Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, but it cannot do without them. They are the main force of the ninja world. They are the common people in the ninja world and the foundation of the ninja world.
Small people have their own limitations, but they are not stupid. They know who the insects riding on their heads are.
If it were a peerless hero like Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, it would be fine, after all, they possess unrivaled power.
But what do the nobles have?
Why can the nobles eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks while the ninjas have to live a hard life?
Do the noble lords have big fists?
Do they possess powerful bloodline limits?
No, they have nothing!!
These were originally taboo discussions, and no one dared to discuss them openly in the past. They could only complain quietly behind closed doors after getting drunk. If they suddenly felt like doing it in the middle of the night, and there was a famous scene of a madman sharpening his knife at night and the imperial star swaying and Mars high in the sky, they would be scared again.
But now it’s different. A powerful village called Rain Ninja Village, which is not inferior to the five major ninja villages, has stood up and defeated the domestic nobles.
Things that I didn't dare to say in the past can now be said freely in the Rain Country. Things that I have done countless times in my dreams but dared not do in reality, I can do them to my heart's content in the Rain Country by following Lord Hanzo.
The wave of liberated thinking is surging, and the anger and resentment that the ninjas have accumulated for thousands of years are leaking out bit by bit, until one day this grooved, deformed world will be completely overturned. Uchiha Nan is happy to see this happen.
Of course, the premise of this beautiful vision is that the Rain Village can survive the counterattack of the nobles. The coalition of the five evil men finally defeated Six Paths Obito. Although the process... cough cough cough... cannot be described, they did contribute after all.
There is absolutely no possibility that the Rain Village can temporarily survive the siege and attack of the five major ninja villages!
In addition to forcing the ninja villages under their command to physically eliminate the existence of the Rain Village, the nobles also did their best in the areas in which they were good at.
The energy unleashed by the combined efforts of the daimyos really shocked Uchiha Nan. Even though they were just ordinary people without strong military force, the economic sanctions alone would be enough to cause great suffering to the Rain Village. The effect might not be seen in a short period of time, but as long as it dragged on for a year or two, the Rain Country would probably face a situation of starvation and shortage of all kinds of supplies.
Ninjas in the ninja world are not good at reproduction after all. Konoha is an oddball. Uchiha Nan helped Konoha open the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Here, we especially want to thank Senju Tobirama for his selfless dedication.
Uchiha Nan naturally couldn't let the Rain Village disappear like that.
Konoha sells things that the five major countries don’t sell, and Konoha also sells things that the five major countries cannot sell!
The Rain Village killed a fat pig for the New Year, and Konoha happened to want to have a bite, so it was a market for an entire country.
There is no business that Konoha cannot do now. Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has to hold his nose and pretend not to see it!
The envoy from Rain Village had a look of reverence as soon as he entered the door. He was Hanzo's bodyguard. To become Hanzo's bodyguard, not only his martial arts skills had to meet the requirements, but his thoughts had to be consistent with Hanzo's.
Ninjas are the masters of this world, and they must defeat those insect nobles!
The entire set of guidelines of Hanzo of Salamander was copied from Uchiha Kusunoki's, and some modifications were made in some places to make it more suitable for the Land of Rain, such as changing the title of the book New Will of Fire to New Will of Rain.
"Hokage-sama, your wisdom and foresight are the beacon of our Rain Village."
The envoy of Rain Village bowed deeply and spoke flattering words. The strength of Rain Village alone could not fight against the Allied Ninja Forces, so Rain Village must obtain the support of Konoha.
"Tell me, what bring you to Konoha?" Uchiha Nan waved his hand and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind. The Rain Village must have come to Konoha at this time to seek Konoha's help.
We must seize such a huge market like Rain Village!
"Hokage, why don't Konoha join forces with the Rain Village to overthrow the rule of the daimyo and nobles? Facing those stubborn ninja villages, such as the Sand Village, the Cloud Village, the Rock Village, the Mist Village and the like, as long as we join forces, we will surely be able to kill them all!"
Konoha is responsible for the killing, and the Rain Village is responsible for gaga?
Uchiha Kusunoki worked so hard to develop Konoha into its current glory, but it was not for the purpose of accompanying the Rain Village in a all-in gamble.
Do you know what strategic power is?
I can obviously drink some ice cola in the office, have a romance, and have Konoha's factories produce non-stop. Both sides can make money by tinkering with materials, and eventually I can overthrow the ninja world without any effort. Why should I go all in with you, the Rain Village?
Messenger from the Rain Village, you are too idealistic. Konoha prefers tangible benefits.
"Innocent."
"The situation in the ninja world is complicated. It is not a simple distinction between friend and foe. What we need is not only strength, but more importantly, wisdom and strategy.
You, the Rain Ninjas, have wiped out all the nobles and gained a huge amount of wealth, land, and population. You are now thriving like a raging fire, but your national management system has almost come to a standstill.
The five great nations, together with the entire ninja world, have imposed economic sanctions on you and completely cut off trade. You may not even be able to be self-sufficient in food next year."
Konoha will not follow your Rain Village and act recklessly. Do you want Konoha to pay for your recklessness and fight against the four major ninja villages together?
I am the Kage of Konoha and I am responsible for all the villagers of Konoha."
Uchiha Nan shook his head and directly rejected the envoy from the Rain Village.
You can’t work so hard, you can’t work so hard. How can you make money if you work so hard?
The envoy from the Rain Village looked embarrassed, obviously not expecting Uchiha Nan to refuse so decisively.
"I am the Hokage of Konoha, and what I think about is how to make the villagers of Konoha live a good life.
So I don't intend to interfere in the mess of your Rain Village. Even if your Rain Village and the four major ninja villages and the five major countries fight each other, it has nothing to do with Konoha.
After all, Konoha is now busy doing business. The five major countries and the four major ninja villages are all high-quality partners of Konoha. Compared to these fighting and killing, Konoha prefers to talk about cooperation and make money together.
You are not a part of Konoha, you don't love Konoha at all. You came to Konoha this time just to pull Konoha onto the chariot of Rain Village. Do you think Konoha is a fool?
Uchiha Nan's tone was a little intense, and the chakra fluctuations emanating from his body made the envoy from the Rain Village tremble with fear.
It turns out that Konoha can't hide the little tricks of the Rain Village. I hope this negotiation will fail!
"The Rain Village can also talk, and the Rain Village can also love Konoha!!"
The envoy of Rain Village shouted loudly, trying his best to show the sincerity of Rain Village.
"What is your position in Rain Village? Are you the one who makes the decisions in Rain Village?"
Uchiha Nan sneered and said.
"Master Hanzo has given me the authority to kill first and report later. Master Hokage, why don't you tell me Konoha's conditions?"
The envoy from the Rain Village straightened his back slightly. Hanzo of the Salamander had given him enormous authority, so he had to win the support of Konoha this time when he came to Konoha.
"condition?"
"You should feel lucky that Konoha is still willing to do business with you. The Daimyo of the Five Great Nations has directly sanctioned your Rain Village. Which blind businessman would have the guts to do business with a bunch of desperadoes like you?
Logically speaking, Konoha should give you a good beating!
However, Konoha admires the courage of the Rain Village, and I personally look forward to seeing what Salamander Hanzo can do this time, so I will let you go this time."
Uchiha Nan repeatedly pulled at the mind of the Rain Village envoy, causing him to break out in cold sweats.
“So, this time, Konoha will uphold the principles of fair and just trade.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!!"
The envoy from Rain Village breathed a sigh of relief. He knew nothing about business.
But the commercial sanctions mentioned by Uchiha Nan, the severance of economic exchanges, and even the fact that the Rain Country could not even be self-sufficient in food in the end, really scared him.
He has been wielding swords and guns all his life. He was born in the military and is a typical veteran. He understands the importance of food and grass to the ninja army best. How can he expect his ninjas to fight for him when he can't even fill his stomach?
If he doesn't stab his superior in the middle of the night, he'd be considered kind-hearted!
No matter what, this trip was not in vain.
"sensible!"
"Lu Yuan, take him down to sign the agreement!"
Uchiha Nan grinned and called out to Nara Shikaon who had been waiting outside the door, asking Nara Shikaon to take the envoy from the Rain Village to the office next door to sign a cooperation agreement.
The envoy from Rain Village came to the next room and read the stack of agreements on the table from beginning to end.
Just as the Hokage said, there is no unfairness at all. It is all a business cooperation agreement, a pure, free agreement without any business barriers.
"Have you finished reading it? If you're willing to do business with Konoha, then sign it!"
"Okay. I'll sign it right away!"
The envoy from Rain Village signed hurriedly and stamped the seal representing the seal of Salamander Hanzo.
"Very good, you in Rain Village will definitely not regret this cooperation agreement."
Nara Shikaon nodded with a smile, then brought the envoy from the Rain Village out to the Hokage Building.
