Chapter 145: War Blackmail
In the original plot, Konoha Village suffered great losses in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" planned by Orochimaru, many ninjas were killed and wounded, the village was destroyed, the Hokage was assassinated and died, and the new Hokage has not yet been chosen.
Therefore, the surrender conditions given by Konoha to Shayin Village are very generous, which is equivalent to Sha Yin stabbing Konoha hard, and he said sorry for admitting the wrong person, and Konoha wrote off the new and old hatreds, and everyone continued to be friends.
This time, although under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiza, Konoha once again forgave the Sand Hidden Village, and also formulated the "Sand Hidden Aid Plan", which provides no less than the financial aid of the Wind Country to the impoverished Sand Hidden every year, and helps the Sand Hidden Village build all kinds of other mines, changing the situation of a single type of ore exported by the Sand Hide, and turning the Sand Hidden as a rear mine where Konoha continuously provides resources.
But Konoha is not a living **, he is not so kind to give money to Sha Yin in vain, and the surrender conditions are naturally many times harsh, since Konoha has provided financial aid to Sha Yin is already higher than the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, so it is not natural for Sha Yin to be a thug for Konoha unconditionally?
Konoha and Shagakure signed a treaty in the form of "one village, one country", replacing the status of the country of wind and becoming the back-of-the-scenes financier of the village.
Sarutobi thought very well, if the economy of Sand Hidden Village can be stronger than the original with the assistance of Konoha and the living conditions of civilians and ninjas are improved, he should be grateful to Konoha Village, no longer nostalgic for the past life, accept the new international status, and be a little brother to Konoha with peace of mind.
However, from the perspective of the Sand Hidden Ninja and the public, it is not at all the case.
"Everyone is a big ninja village, why should you be the boss and I be the dog?"
"Originally, our Sha Yin relied on selling gold to be the second in the whole ninja world, but now it's good, we have become the penultimate one by the scourge of Konoha ten trillion taels of gold, and we have to make a dog for Konoha!"
"I heard that there is a Konoha ninja who has fallen in love with our beautiful girl in Shayin, Miss Temari, and wants to marry her as a concubine!"
"Shame! What's the point of living in such a humiliating way! ”
In Shayin Village, there are a lot of resentful noises, but out of desperation, most of the elite ninjas were captured by Konoha and their lives were in the hands of Konoha and they didn't dare to denounce it publicly.
Ninja Village Jin Aid Ninja Village, although Konoha considered that he was afraid that the sand would be poor in the future, he thought about change, and once again jumped over the wall to betray Konoha in a hurry, and had to make a decision, but it invisibly broke the old world pattern of "one village, one country", and touched the sensitive nerves of all the ninja country daimyos, thinking that this was the first step for Konoha to annex the ninja world.
Lei Ying Ai said loudly: "That's right, the industrial products of the Land of Thunder can't compete with Konoha goods in the market at all, and many factories have closed down, and the financial revenue has dropped significantly, so the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder has reduced the amount of financial aid in Yunyin Village. ”
Speaking of this, the grumpy Ai stomped his foot hard, smashing the stone slab ground under his feet, and said hatefully: "Now, the economic lifeline of the ninja world is completely controlled by Konoha , and whoever they want to be poor, they can make anyone poor!" ”
Tsuchikage Onoki also nodded and agreed: "It's okay before, our Earth Country takes ore export as its pillar industry, and the total amount of ore purchased by Konoha Village is huge, and Earth Country has also made a lot of money. Recently, however, Konoha has been dumping cheap metal products in large quantities with the ore we export to compete for the market, which has seriously affected the fiscal revenue of the land country, and our Iwakure's financial aid has also been reduced. ”
Mizukage Terumi didn't complain, Fog Hidden Village is lonely overseas, and it has not been affected by the economic impact of the Konoha Restoration, and it has not participated in the ninja war much in history, and there is no vendetta with the major ninja villages.
However, although Terumi is a woman, she has the ambition to revive the fog, so she actively participates in the international affairs of the ninja world and wants to make profits for the future development of the fog.
A tall middle-aged man dressed as a samurai was also in the venue, and his seat took the place that originally belonged to Konoha Village, and this person was Mifune, the samurai leader of the Iron Country, who attended the Five Kingdoms and Four Shadows Conference as a representative of the Five Great Ninja Kingdoms.
Mifune got up and said: "Shadow of the ninja village, the reduction of your village's aid funds is not because the daimyo violated the agreement made that year, but because in the past year, the finances of various countries have been very tight, not to mention the complex economic principles, in short, all the money was earned by Konoha. ”
This samurai leader represented the interests of the samurai class and was the spokesman of the daimyos, and he had already discussed countermeasures with the representatives sent by the daimyo of the Five Kingdoms before the meeting.
Mifune said angrily: "Konoha is self-respecting and ambitious, not only sucking the blood of the countries of the ninja world, but also vainly trying to obtain the same legal status as the daimyo of the ninja country, bypassing the daimyo of the country of wind and directly controlling the village of Sand Hidden through financial aid, this is an arrogant act that the daimyo will never tolerate!"
If you let it go, in the future, the ninja world will not be a country, the village will not be a village, you and I are at the mercy of Konoha, and Konoha is just a dog eagle in the dragon country, and the ultimate benefit is a foreigner, this is a traitorous act that betrays the interests of the ninja world, and it must be strictly curbed! ”
Tsuchikage Onoki pouted, "It's easy to say! I'd like to ask how to stop it? ”
Mifune said: "After the negotiation of the daimyo of the five countries, the four ninja villages jointly put pressure on Konoha and demanded that Konoha pay 80% of the total investment income of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce every year 'customs duties', and this money will be distributed to the five ninja countries in a certain proportion, and the ninja daimyo will divide a part of this tax as ninja village aid. ”
Lei Ying Ai touched his beard and frowned and asked, "I understand what you mean, that is, to let Konoha return the money earned from us to us, but why should Konoha pay customs duties, does it make sense legally?" ”
Mifune said: "Just because the ninja world is the territory of the daimyo, everything in the land of the ninja world belongs to the daimyo, and Konoha is a ninja village and makes profits in the ninja world, so it should pay taxes according to the law and share the benefits equally!" ”
Onoki thought for a while and said, "If Konoha refuses strongly, will we really fight the fourth ninja world war with Konoha?" ”
When it came to the war, several of the shadows present also showed a solemn look, silently, not to pick up Onoki's words, the ninja world has been in war for many years, which ninja village has not died in the war?
It's not just Konoha who is afraid of war, the ninjas in the entire ninja world are a little scared, and only a martial arts ninja village like Yunyin Village is not afraid of sacrifice, and they are happy when they hear the war.
"Konoha has only risen for more than a year, although a few outstanding newcomers have emerged, but the number of ninjas has not increased significantly, and if you form a ninja army, you can build a 10,000-person army at most."
Granny Chiyo was the first to break the silence and said, "If the four major ninja villages form a coalition army, the strength can reach more than forty thousand, and then recruit all the small ninja villages to join, the total strength can reach fifty thousand, at least five times that of Konoha." Our Sand Hidden Ninja Army can pretend to join forces with Konoha and then rebel and sneak attack from the rear, but there is still a good chance of victory. ”
Chiyo received a promise from the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind that if she was willing to join the Five Kingdoms and Four Shadows Conference, the four major ninja villages would add a clause to "liberate the sand and hide" when they put pressure on Konoha to completely overturn the "Kisha Goodwill Agreement", an unequal treaty that humiliated the village, and restore the independent status of the village.
"Now that Konoha has ten shadows in charge, how many shadows can we make up in our four major ninja villages?"
Onoki still shook his head and said: "The strength of the ninja world is still secondary, shadow-level ninjas can often influence the outcome of a battle, think about the 'Konoha White Fang', 'Golden Flash' and 'Konoha Three Ninja' who were active on the battlefield in the past, isn't the prestige they have because they have the blood of countless ordinary ninja soldiers on their hands?" ”
Onoki is quite jealous of the situation of shadow-level powerhouses controlling the situation of the battle, because in history, Iwakuin has suffered such a big loss, 10,000 Iwakuin ninja army was blocked by three generations of Thunder Shadow alone, and it took three days and three nights of the battle to kill the three generations of Thunder Shadow.
As soon as these words came out, the shadows were silent for a while.
During this period, the Xiao organization had not yet started the Tailed Beast Capture Battle, Yunyin and Iwakuin each had two Tailed Orc Pillar Forces, and Mist Yin originally had two, but one was dead (Blood Mist Mizukage Yakura) and one defected, and Sha Yin's Human Pillar Force I Airo was captured.
The four human pillar forces, plus the three shadows and a sand hidden advisor, Granny Chiyo, can barely make up eight shadow levels, which is not advantageous compared to the ten shadows of Konoha.
Moreover, the information shows that there is a young man named Sasuke Uchiha in Konoha Village, who seems to have a secret technique for restraining tailed beasts, and Ichi-Tai Pillar Force I Airo was defeated by him and lost in a mess.
Renzhuli encountering Sasuke from Konoha Village on the battlefield is tantamount to delivering food to the door.
Mifune cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The daimyo of the five kingdoms are willing to devote all their financial resources to provide military funds for the four ninja villages, in addition, the daimyo also have a solution to the problem that the shadow-level powerhouses in each village are less than Konoha and are at a disadvantage in the battle of the local battlefield. ”
