Chapter 236 I really want to bathe in the kindness of Konoha’s loving father and feel the blessings

Chapter 236 I really want to bathe in the kindness of Konoha’s loving father and feel the blessings of Konoha!
The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars.

The weather is very good tonight. The snow has stopped.

There were roaring bonfires scattered around the clearing, keeping the chill at bay.

"Turn up the music!"

"You came from Dandong and gave me a white dress.
“I want to eat Cantonese food!”

"Breaking tears is not afraid of the sea"

"Change the song, change the song, change to something more suitable for the occasion, quick."

"Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky clearly?"

“The loneliness and sigh in the heart of the person looking up.”

"."

“I’d rather have it all.”

“This is the one.”

Uchiha Nan stood on the high platform, his mouth twitched, and he quickly asked someone to change the song to one that suits the occasion.

Although I cannot forget the favor and I have to pay it back with interest, there is no need to use this song as BGM music when throwing an open-air party.

"3, 2, 1!"

“Set off fireworks!!”

Uchiha Nan gave an order.

The first bunch of fireworks cut through the night sky, like a meteor across the silent sky, and instantly exploded into a huge golden chrysanthemum.

The golden petals shine with dazzling light, like flames blooming in the night sky, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Then, more fireworks rushed into the sky.

The New Year's outdoor party has begun!

The ninjas looked up at the night sky with gleams in their eyes, their emotions were still very complicated.

Another year has ended.
Followed by a low humming sound.
Rows of dining cars were slowly pushed out of the tent.

The wheels of the dining cart rolled gently on the ground, making a slight friction sound, and the lids on the dining cart were opened one by one.

In an instant, waves of rich fragrance spread and quickly diffused in the air.

The fragrance seemed like an invisible force that instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.

The charcoal fire jumps under the grill, making crackling sounds, the meat rolls on the grill, the fat drips, making sizzling sounds, and emitting an attractive burnt aroma.

Next to them, plates of chopped vegetables - green peppers, onions, and colored peppers - were roasted on the grill until they were soft and glutinous, exuding a sweet aroma.

On the other side of the car, fresh shrimps, crabs and shellfish were neatly placed on ice. After simple steaming or baking, they exuded the freshness of the ocean.

The shrimp shells are roasted to a bright red, the crab meat is tender, and the aroma of the shellfish has a hint of salty sea water.

Main dining area.
Steaming rice, noodles and bread are neatly placed in an insulated box. The aroma of rice carries a hint of sweetness from rice grains, while the aroma of noodles is mixed with the richness of the sauce.

A loyal and upright person will eventually have to beg for food, while a cunning and treacherous person will be cooked with fire at night.

The world is big, but eating and drinking are the most important!
The part that the Ninjas are most looking forward to is here!
Even the ninjas of Konoha had expectant smiles on their faces. The standard of food for today's banquet was higher than usual.

The eyes of the ninjas from the other four major ninja villages were glowing, and even appeared faintly green in the dark night.

Go get some military ration pills!
Go get the swill bucket!!

I can finally get free food in Konoha again!
Uchiha Nan underestimated the appeal of delicious food to the hungry wolves.

A large group of ninjas were eager to rush to the food truck at the speed of a 100-meter sprint to grab the food.

"Don't grab it!"

“Pay attention to the queue!!”

"Today's food is unlimited!!"

The loud speaker is very loud.

After hearing the voice of the Konoha Hokage, these hungry wolf ninjas began to line up obediently.

However, while waiting in the queue, he was still urging the people in front of him to hurry up.

The gluttons gathered in groups of three or five around the bonfire, eating frantically while looking at the stage. On the simple stage, a performance to celebrate the New Year was being performed.

The five major ninja villages have each put on several shows, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the ninjas who have mastered skills that are good enough to perform on the street.

Soon everyone started talking.
"It would be great if I were a ninja from Konoha!"

"Hey, uh... Delicious. You're bribed by this little bit of food?"

“What a loser!!”

"Before you condemn me, could you please swallow the food in your mouth before you speak?"

"Well, Konoha ninjas are indeed lucky. I envy them."

"I heard that to join Konoha you need a green card. It's very difficult."

"There is a way. Marrying a Konoha ninja... seems like it could work."

Whispers echoed in the clearing.

Occasionally, there are outrageous words
Well, not occasionally.
There are more and more voices like this
The gap is there!

The Hokage personally gives you a Konoha Green Card, can you still refuse?
Wei Junjie is a man who knows the times!

We have long wanted to join Konoha, feel the kindness of Konoha's benevolent father, and enjoy Konoha's blessings.

Sunagakure was infiltrated the most, had the most Spiritual Konoha people, and had the best relationship with Konoha, so they spoke first.

Yunyin immediately followed
Damn those ration pills!
There are also swill buckets.
The Hidden Cloud Village is so miserable
The house is still in ruins.
The Hidden Mist Village follows closely behind!
The bloodline ninja clan showed their envy of Konoha without any concealment.

“Fuck it!!
"The bloodline ninja must be in charge of the Hidden Mist Village!"

"Damn water bucket!"

"It has delayed everyone's future!"

"We must overthrow him!!!"

The Iwagakure ninja didn't want to say it, but
Everything is afraid of comparison. The gap between Iwagakure and Konoha is too big, so I slammed the table and joined in.

Everyone felt that it would be okay to speak up at this time.

As for snitching...

Who dares to tell tales at a time like this?
What's wrong with everyone eating delicious food, drinking wine, and bragging together?
Listening to the whispering sounds, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but straighten their backs, curl up the corners of their mouths, and even couldn't help but hum softly.

Envy?
This is fate!!

Uchiha Nan was laughing.

He smiled happily.
Of course some people are unhappy.

For example, the four shadows.

The third generation of Ai, whose already dark face became even uglier
But there was nothing we could do.

In the final analysis
He has to take the blame for the miserable state that the Hidden Cloud Village has become today.

The origin of everything
It all started with that damn Ponzi scheme.. damn Ponzi.
Oh, no, it seems that Konoha Scythe will kill him sooner or later.
Although someone deliberately planned to murder the Hidden Cloud Village.

But the third generation Ai is the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village!
He should have the ability and the responsibility to see through this scam, but he was foolish enough to trust Hatake Sakumo, which led to the entire Kumogakure Village being deceived.

After the Ponzi scheme was exposed, a series of chain reactions began. He led a large elite force out to seek revenge, leaving the rear empty, giving the Empty Ninja Village a big loophole.
Ugh.
The third generation of Ai sighed.
And there is Shuidou, who is suppressing his inner anger.

That group of bloodline ninjas are starting to mislead people again!

This is really too much!!

We can't let them go like this any longer. We have to.
Ohnoki had a droopy face, unable to speak, and just kept smoking one cigarette after another.

Mosha felt bitter and depressed and drank several glasses of wine. He had been working diligently for the Sand Village, working as a gold miner in the desert day and night. After years of hard work, he finally made the situation in the Sand Village better.

The village's originally scarce living resources are becoming increasingly abundant.

He built houses with new materials for the villagers, provided electricity, repaired roads, and added electric lights.
The employment rate of villagers has risen sharply
Turn the fiscal deficit into a profit.
He also trained a large number of new generation ninjas.
I, Masa, am the Sandaime Kazekage and the hero of the Sand Village!
But Konoha... Konoha.
The ninjas in the village all sing the praises of Konoha, as if everything that Sand Village has today is all thanks to Konoha.

Ignore your own efforts!
Mosha was originally very busy at work. He had to deal with increasingly busy official duties, work as a gold miner in the desert, and find time to practice and train disciples. The man at home was a mess, clamoring to pay public taxes.
There is no time to care about the rumors in the village.

He believed that the ninjas and villagers of the Sand Village had sharp eyes and would worship him, the Kazekage.

But unfortunately.
The masses have always been ignorant, of course I'm talking about the Sand Village.

Especially under the guidance of journalists, Masa's achievements were covered up and Konoha's achievements were greatly magnified.
"Why."

“Can’t they see my efforts?”

Masa heard the whispers of the Sunagakure ninjas.

He was dismissive of his own efforts, always belittling the Sand Village and praising Konoha endlessly.

even.
Masa saw the female kunoichi from Sunagakure fighting against the ninjas from Konoha.
A few sips of wine.
There was a burning sensation in his throat, but Mosha's heart felt cold.

The four frustrated shadows were like magnets, and they gathered together involuntarily.

"Fengying, this must be a tough feeling."

"Konoha's aid is not so easy to obtain. The Hokage will not do business at a loss."

Ōnoki was smoking a cigarette, his voice was a little low, but he didn't mean to gloat.

We are all the same, wanderers in this world.

"Ohnoki, take one."

"I also want"

Before the Kazekage could say anything, Sandaime Ai and Mizuto started to act as freeloaders again and reached out to Ōnoki for cigarettes.

“Really”

"Can't you buy it yourself?"

"The situation in the Hidden Cloud Village. Save as much as possible."

"Free cigarettes taste better."

Ohnoki rolled his eyes, pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and scattered the smoke around.

"What do you think I want to do?"

"The Kingdom of Wind is really too barren. Alas."

"One should be grateful to the person who gave him the favor and should be grateful to the person who gave him the favor"

Mosa sighed.

Although his identity as a ninja limits Masa's thinking, he is still the Kazekage after all and possesses abilities beyond ordinary people.

So no matter how upright and noble Uchiha Nan behaved, or how loud his slogans were, Mosa never took Konoha lightly.

He firmly believed that Konoha must have some plan against the Sand Village.

But... Uchiha Nan used an open strategy.

If you accept assistance, you will be infiltrated by Konoha!
Uchiha Nan knew it, and Mosa knew it too.

But Konoha has many ways to infiltrate, little by little, imperceptibly.
Mosa has only just come to realize that Konoha's influence in the Sand Village is too great!
but
The Sand Village was in such a desperate situation at that time, and Konoha's assistance was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, and once they grabbed it, they couldn't let go.

It's useless to say anything now.
"So, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If we let Konoha continue like this, our ninja village will be destroyed sooner or later."

"Kazekage, you rejected me last time in the Land of Birds. What about this time?"

After saying this, Ohnoki took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled slowly, the smoke spreading in the air.

at the same time
Ōnoki, Sandaime, and Mizuto involuntarily moved closer together, their eyes looking at Mosa at the same time.

"It seems."

"You three have already discussed this."

Mosa looked at the three people standing together and smiled bitterly.

It’s really hard to make a decision.

Although Mosha was complaining.

However, his favorability towards Konoha is still very high, at least above the passing line.

after all
Konoha has been providing real financial support to the Sand Village over the years, and Mosa and Uchiha Kusunoki have always had a good relationship in private. They greet each other and give each other gifts during the Chinese New Year.

The connection between the two villages is becoming closer and closer.

Konoha has done nothing wrong to the Sand Village.

On the contrary, he is a great favor to the Sand Village.

Do I want to be as capricious as Ōnoki and a backstabbing villain?

but
Konoha is so powerful that even its allies would be terrified.

Moreover, the ninjas in the village have a very high level of favorability towards Konoha.
It is necessary to weaken Konoha's influence in the Sand Village.

After all, what is the reverse payment?
What a headache!
"Kazekage, you have to think carefully. We just want to stay together for warmth and not let Konoha become strong enough to destroy us."

"If we don't work together at this time, Konoha will only become stronger."

"We don't want to go to war with Konoha. We just want to..."

“It’s not good for us to have only one company dominate the market”

The third generation Ai and Shuidou came out together to persuade them.

"Well, Konoha is indeed too powerful and needs to be suppressed!"

"I can cooperate with you, but the Sand Village will not stand on your side openly. It will only cooperate with you secretly."

Mosa still couldn't bear to give up Konoha's assistance.

Once they fall out with Konoha
Konoha withdrew its aid, and Masa didn't dare to think about what would become of the Sand Village. Maybe it would return to the pre-liberation era one day.

Moreover, he wanted to become an enemy of Konoha and even start a war. The first people to disagree were the villagers of the Sand Village.

So, Mosha plans to have the best of both worlds!
"no problem."

"Happy cooperation!"

Ōnoki held out his hand. He had no hope of convincing Masa to become an enemy of Konoha, as long as he could stand on his side in certain positions.

"Happy cooperation!"

Masa shook hands with Ōnoki first, then with Sandai Ai and Mizuto in turn.

"Tell me about your plan."

“First of all we must stop wasting time on meaningless wars.

"For example, the Kazekage of Rain Village. You must know that Konoha has always been supporting Rain Village."

"What about the Daimyo?"

"Konoha stands with the Rain Village. Our four great ninja villages stand together. Daimyo, hum."

"We should follow Konoha's example"

"I have recently studied Konoha again.
"The nobles in the Land of Fire have been killed over and over again by Konoha."

"Damn, are you guys playing such a big game?"

"Time waits for no one. That's what Konoha does. Just copy it."

"But we can start with something a little smaller."
