Konoha’s New Third Hokage

After the two sides issued the order, the ships of the Fire Nation and the Water Nation left the port not long after and headed for the Vortex Nation. Since Mizukage Mizukage did not anticipate this in advance, he had to separate some of the ships he brought to attack to stop them, and the number of ships sent by the prepared Fire Nation was far greater than that of the enemy.

Although the Land of Fire does not have a powerful naval army, merchants often encounter pirates' plunder through trade with small overseas countries. Behind those pirates may have the background of Kirigakure Ninja Village. In any case, they unintentionally trained the Fire Nation Army and the Konoha Ninjas for water battles.

The moment the two sides met, the fierce battle began immediately, and Mizukage Mizukage issued a death order. Even if it could not be stopped, the army of the Fire Nation would have to pay a huge price. However, the result was not as smooth as Sandai Mizukage imagined. You must know that Konoha Ninja Village has a long-standing plan to protect the country of Uzumaki, and has its own strategy on how to deal with the navy of the country of water.

The sailors of the Nation of Fire didn't just want to compete with the opponent. How to avoid the enemy was also one of their goals, but it couldn't be solved in a short while.

And during this period of time, the people of the country of vortex were able to gather. Just when the naval forces of the two sides began to fight, the capital of the country of vortex also received the news of the success of the town's blockade. And started a dispute over Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal to retreat.

Some people are temporarily confused by the victory in front of them, and feel that relying on the terrain of the Uzumaki Kingdom, with the assistance of Konoha Ninja, is enough to resist the attack of the Water Kingdom, and there is no need to leave their homeland and go to a strange country, even if that strange The country has its own villages built by its own in-laws.

Regarding this point, the daimyo of Uzumaki Kingdom is naturally very tempted. On the one hand, he does not want to leave the land inherited from his ancestors, on the other hand, he does not want to become the head of a ninja village from the king of a country. Even if it is a small country, it is also a nobleman. A member of the ninja family, but the head of the ninja family is not.

On the other hand, the officials represented by Uzumaki Kazuhiko explained that the army of the country of water is coming fiercely. Although this battle is won, it is only a temporary benefit. The Konoha ninjas currently staying in the country are not enough to stop the enemy. unless Konoha Ninja and Fire Nation's army come further into the country.

"That's not necessarily impossible, tell Konoha Ninja Village quickly." The daimyo of the country of Uzumaki had never seen a large number of troops from other countries entering his country in the past, but now he was in a hurry and went to the doctor, so he had to agree.

"Your Highness, excuse me, if the war is over, would Your Highness be willing to allow the Fire Nation's army to stay in the country?" At this moment, a minister came out and bowed to the daimyo of the Vortex Nation.

"This, this is of course." The daimyo of the Uzumaki country spoke somewhat hesitantly, and the civil and military officials present couldn't tell that the other party was insincere.

"Your Highness, if you don't want to let the Fire Nation's army station in the country, even if you can escape this disaster temporarily, you won't be able to escape in the future." The minister said.

"What do you mean?" The daimyo of the country of vortex couldn't help frowning.

"Your Highness, you should understand that this time it was because Konoha Ninja Village had realized early on that the opponent might attack the country, so it ordered people to lurk in the country. This is one of them; even so, Konoha Ninja Village could not block the opponent's attack , had to rely on foreign aid again, and the army of the country of water will definitely go to stop it. When the army of the country of fire enters the country, it must pay a lot of sacrifices. This is the third; There will inevitably be a big battle, which will cost a huge price again, which is the third. Let me ask, just once, will Konoha Ninja Village really be willing to pay such a price many times?" The minister said slowly .

The daimyo of the country of vortex immediately understood what the other party meant. Konoha Ninja Village was not taken advantage of, so why would he always pay for the country of vortex?

"We are in-laws! During the first ninja war,

We also contributed to Konoha Ninja Village! "The daimyo of the vortex country argued, but his tone was so lacking in confidence.

The other civil and military ministers looked at each other with embarrassing expressions. Although they said that, the friendship with the in-laws in the Uzumaki Kingdom has gradually faded over the years. At this time, it seems somewhat impossible to use this name to persuade the other party, Konoha Ninja Village is not so taken advantage of.

As the previous minister said, Konoha Ninja Village is willing to pay such a high price to help Uzumaki Country, just once, if you want to pay multiple times, this is not in the interests of a big country at all, even if the two parties are related by marriage , it is impossible to get a compromise.

There are two ways to solve this problem, either the country of Uzumaki is willing to allow the army of the country of fire to be stationed in the country, or the Uzumaki family as the ruler leaves the country and enters Konoha Ninja Village. There is no way for Konoha Ninja Village to accept it.

In the letter sent by Hiruza Sarutobi, this kind of meaning was vaguely revealed, but people who saw it turned a blind eye, but now that they are pointed out, they have to face up to this problem. The dignity of the country requires troops from other countries to settle in, but it still has to choose to give up its own status and choose to integrate into Konoha Ninja Village.

In the minds of many people, entering Konoha Ninja Village is not an unacceptable choice. You must know that Konoha Ninja Village is very powerful today, and even the monarch of the country of fire cannot interfere with it. After all, Konoha Ninja Village is just a mercenary organization, and is not essentially a courtier of the monarch of the Fire Kingdom. The affiliation relationship between the two parties is based on the employment contract of the year.

Except for the content stipulated in the employment contract, Konoha Ninja Village has no obligation to pay for the Land of Fire. Like other local lords, they need to pay taxes to the Land of Fire, but Konoha Ninja Village is not far behind the local lords. But they don't need to pay any taxes, because they are not subordinate to the Fire Nation, but Konoha Ninja Village can extract taxes from the merchants living in the village, because the two parties have a subordinate relationship.

Because of this, the Lord of the Fire Country looks enviously at the large amount of taxes collected by Konoha Ninja Village every year. If he can collect those taxes into his own treasury, he does not know how many things he can do, but there is really nothing he can do. , with Konoha Ninja Village's position in the Fire Nation's military force and its own particularity, it is impossible to win taxes from Konoha Ninja Village.

Although the Uzumaki family will lose their status as aristocrats from other countries when they enter the Konoha Ninja Village, but on the other hand, even in the Uzumaki family, not everyone is aristocratic, and there are also ordinary people and As for the ninjas, they thought it would be better to go to Konoha Ninja Village, and these people are the main force who want to leave Uzumaki, and their leader is Kazuhiko Uzumaki.

Uzumaki Kazuhiko is an aristocrat in the country of Uzumaki, and also has a husband and wife relationship with the daughter of Konoha Ninja Village Hokage. He believes that he will not be treated badly in Konoha Ninja Village. , At the same time, it also attracted some nobles.

The minister who spoke today is one of them, and what he said hits the nail on the head, making everyone have to consider which one Da Da should choose. For a moment, everyone started expressing their opinions, and the question revolved around whether to station troops from other countries or go to Konoha Ninja Village.

Slowly, the voices began to move closer to Konoha Ninja Village. It was too late when the Daimyo of the Uzumaki country reacted. Man, I can't say anything at this time.

"You, you..." The daimyo seemed too angry to speak, and pointed at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs present.

The others stared at the daimyo and expressed their meaning again, that is, they withdrew from the country of Uzumaki and went directly to Konoha Ninja Village. The civil and military officials in the country of Uzumaki are basically members of the Uzumaki tribe. I heard that Konoha Ninja Village The three generations of Hokage in the village have added courtesy to the ninjas in the village, and will give them what they should. With the status of the Uzumaki family, once they enter the Konoha Ninja Village, they will not be inferior to Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi and other famous families.

Seeing that everyone supported entering Konoha Ninja Village, the daimyo seemed to sigh deeply and said, "Forget it, forget it, since you all said that, I believe my ancestors will forgive me."

In fact, Daimyo also hopes in his heart that he can go to Konoha Ninja Village. With the power of Konoha Ninja Village, it is enough to protect the safety of the Uzumaki family. It is just out of face that he can't say it directly, so as not to be accused of abandoning the country. If he is "forced" by the Minister of Cultural Relics, he can agree to it. It has to be said that there may not be the support of the Daimyo of Uzumaki behind these words.

So, after the Daimyo of Uzumaki Country agreed, the whole country began to take action, gathering the people and packing up supplies, and the Daimyo of Uzumaki Country returned to his palace, sat in a chair for a while, and sighed again Tone, worried about their future.

After a while, he ordered someone to call Uzumaki Kazuhiko and his wife, and the two immediately came to the room and saluted Uzumaki Daimyo. The daimyo of Uzumaki waved his hand, expressing that there is no need to be formal. He looked at his beloved son and said, "Kazuhiko, if we really go to Konoha Ninja Village, will our lives be guaranteed?"

"Father, you don't have to worry, the third generation has already promised me the rights and interests that the Uzumaki family will get after they come to Konoha Ninja Village." Saying that, Uzumaki Kazuhiko pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it In front of the daimyo of the country of vortex.

The Daimyo of the Uzumaki took a look, and what was written on it was the guarantee given by Masaki Kazemori. As he thought, its status was not far from that of Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi. The Uzumaki clansmen who don't have much power can also get suitable positions.

"Okay, okay." The Daimyo of Uzumaki sighed for the third time, with a relaxed tone, "In this way, there is nothing to worry about as a father."

"Father, you are worrying unfoundedly. The third generation is a good person. He is different from the ninjas I have ever seen." Uzumaki Kazuhiko recalled the impression left by his contact with Masaki Kazemori in the past, and said.

"Well, I've heard it more than once, but I just couldn't see it with my own eyes. After a while, I might know what kind of person he is." Uzumaki Daimyo nodded and said, "Kazuhiko, when will we Can I get out of here?"

"We still need to wait for the ships from the Nation of Fire to come here. Although the people from the Nation of Water may block it, the Nation of Fire is behind it, and the Nation of Water's ability to intervene is limited. I believe that the army of the Nation of Fire can definitely do it." Break through the blockade, before that, Sarutobi Jonin will definitely be able to keep the capital, don't worry, father." Uzumaki Kazuhiko said.

Just when Uzumaki Kazuhiko said these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen over the town once again drove out the army led by Ghost Lengyue. He stood on the top of the city wall, staring closely at the retreating army. The army of the country of water, he will not relax until they return to their stronghold.

Although Guideng Lengyue received a letter from Wuyin Ninja Village, he was eager for revenge and could not wait for the arrival of reinforcements. After reorganizing the troops, he led the troops to attack the town again. This time, Ghost Lengyue has learned a lesson, and will not allow the other party to have a surprise attack again, just as Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, this will be a tough battle.

Fortunately, relying on the barrier of the Uzumaki family and the compound ninjutsu dominated by Hiruzaru Sarutobi himself, he can defend against the enemy's attack, and the opponent's army is timid in fighting because of the impression brought about by the last war. Facing the huge waves and flaming rock bombs falling from the sky again.

Although there are no huge waves, the compound ninja techniques combined by various other escape techniques are still wave after wave, completely suppressing the aura of the entire kingdom of water, and can't exert much power at all, while strategic weapons The three-tailed Jinchuriki has not recovered because of excessive use of chakra.

Ghost Lengyue was furious, and became more and more dissatisfied with the three-tailed Jinchuriki. She almost stretched out her foot and kicked him, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart. go back.

It seems that he can only wait for the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Water to come here before he can take revenge, Guideng Lengyue thought bitterly in his heart, his teeth rubbing against each other, at that time, let's see if Hiruzaru Sarutobi can still be so calm.

At the same time, the people in the town have been evacuated, and they are on the line with the capital. Hiruza Sarutobi knew that the capital would rectify the people soon, he breathed a sigh of relief, paid attention to the other party's movements, and said : "We are about to leave here and look for the next defense point. This place is already unreliable."
