I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

"It was proposed by Dodai." Nara Shikaku said, "After Kumogakure paid off his debts, his strength has recovered a lot in the past few years, but he has not yet fully recovered in terms of financial and material resources. On the contrary, Iwagakure has made a lot of money in the past few years. Quite a few.”

"I made a lot of money..." Uchiha Shingen nodded, and then asked, "The one who attacked our ANBU was also a Kumo ninja?"

It's normal for Konoha's Anbu to be attacked by Kumo ninja in the Land of Wind.

Kumo Ninja had traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to defeat Sunagakure Village.

"No, he was attacked in the Kingdom of Sichuan. The identity of the opponent cannot be clearly determined. I only know that he is a ninja who uses water escape."

"Someone wants to start this battle..." Uchiha Shingen sighed.

It's been six years, so something must have happened.

It's not like the Ninja Village only fights during the Ninja World War.

It is normal to adjust the 1V1 at ordinary times.

This kind of fighting is not big, it is equivalent to a local conflict, and negotiations start as soon as the war starts.

It may also be that both sides support their younger brothers in fighting, and the boss is selling arms while shouting not to fight.

But Sunagakure and Kumogakure's actions this time are relatively large, and if they are not careful, it may be the beginning of another ninja war.

Uchiha Shingen would not be so confident that the Fourth Ninja War would be against the three-eyed girl.

The Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War were not separated by a few years. The interval was less than ten years. Isn't it almost that long since the end of the Third Ninja World War?

"Hokage-sama, this is a big deal. Why don't you find someone else to come?"

"I want to hear your opinion first." Namikaze Minato said, "You are mainly in charge of the association. Do you think that if they start a war, if Iwagakure asks Konoha for help, will Konoha attack Kumogakure?"

Of course not.

The purpose of pulling Iwagakure in was to suppress Kumogakure. Now that Iwagakure is strong and Kumogakure is weak, how can he help Iwagakure.

The truth is this, but it cannot be said that way.

"It's a bit difficult." Uchiha Shingen seemed to have a hard time making a choice, "From the perspective of allies, we cannot refuse Iwagakure's request for help, but the village is currently undergoing the third phase of project construction. If a war starts, it will inevitably cause the project to be delayed. If you are not careful, it will be fatal. It’s possible for Oto.”

"Yeah..." Namikaze Minato also cooperated, "It's really difficult..."

Nara Shikaku looked at these two people and thought.

These two people are stupid when they think of him as the leader of the Jonin class.

You want me to speak, right?

Be human, you guys! I'm the leader of the Jonin class, so decision-making is none of my business.

Facing Nara Shikaku's righteous gaze, Namikaze Minato blushed and looked away.

"Hokage-sama, even a few of us can't come up with a solution to such a big issue. I think it is necessary to inform Kagesuke and the Sandaime immediately." Nara Shikaku said expressionlessly, "There is strength in numbers, Hokage. grown ups."

"Not bad!" Namikaze Minato said with emotion, "The village cannot live without the Sandaime and the two advisors."

"Of course, what kind of person is the Sandaime? As the saying goes, an elder in a family is like a treasure." Uchiha Shingen fully supported this point of view, "Hokage-sama, Nara squad leader, please wait for me, I will As the Hokage-sama said, go and invite the Sandaime-sama to come over."

"Eh?" Namikaze Minato, who was nodding his head frequently, was startled and was about to call out, but there was no one in front of him.

"Don't look at it. Everyone is gone. They used Flying Thunder God." Nara Shikaku felt a little happy, "It feels good to be run away by someone using Flying Thunder God, right? My Hokage-sama."

Chapter 16 The irritable Black Zetsu

The secret alliance between Sunagakure and Kumogakure was not only hidden from Konoha, but also from Iwagakure.

Even Kirigakure didn't hide it. After all, Kirigakure not only borders Konoha, it also "borders" Kumogakure and Sunagakure.

What the Hokage Building is doing, the Tsuchikage Building and the Mizukage Building are still doing.

The difference is that after learning that Sunagakure and Kumogakure were secretly united, Onoki couldn't help but cursed and spit out the window, and then after being told by Loess, he vented his anger on Loess.

As for Goji Yagura, she laughed three times and then went to do whatever she had to do.

The first signs to appear were the Kingdom of Stone and the Kingdom of Iron.

In the Kingdom of Stone, a country sandwiched between the two great kingdoms of Earth and Wind, there have been more and more strangers recently.

In terms of the misery of small countries, from the outbreak of the Second Ninja World War to Konoha fifty-four years ago, the Rain Country ranked first with undisputed "strength". It recognized the second and no one recognized the first.

But after the Third Ninja War, and after Konoha and Iwagakure had a fight here, the country began to turn around.

Both the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom have increased their economic support for this country.

After Iwagakure also formed an alliance with Konoha, the country moved in a good direction. After the death of Demigod Hanzo, the ninjas who were divided in the country reunited as a whole and made waves in the country. Ninjas, either become ninjas in the Land of Rain, get out, or die.

Fifty-four years after Konoha, it restored social stability and its production capacity with the help of trade between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

So it's no longer the worst one, it's not even miserable anymore.

What is miserable are those countries that are caught between big powers and cannot benefit from the trade between the three countries of earth, fire and water.

The high-risk areas have shifted from the original areas of rain and grass to more marginal areas.

The covenant in the Ninja Village is always one-sided.

Iwagakure and Konoha are allies, and Sunagakure and Konoha are also allies, but Iwagakure and Sunagakure are enemies.

In the past six years, peripheral countries have replaced the former core areas and become a battleground between several major powers.

Now it’s the Kingdom of Stone that’s number one.

The Iron Country, the country of samurai, had a similar dilemma. The ninjas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure kept meeting each other in its northern border as if they had made an appointment.

When everyone had to avoid Konoha, the so-called neutral countries could no longer remain neutral in the true sense.

In the past, the five major ninja nations did not want to cause trouble, and at the same time they looked down on the bitter Iron Kingdom, which allowed the Iron Kingdom to maintain a neutral stance.

It's because I don't want to offend him, not because I can't afford it.

During the Second Ninja War, Hanzo didn't care whether the Iron Country was neutral or not, he directly attacked the Iron Country.

Faced with Iwagakure and Kumogakure's intention to open a second playground in their northern territory, Iron Country could only pretend not to see it, since there was no one there anyway.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure were very satisfied with how knowledgeable the Iron Kingdom was. They also saved the last dignity for these samurai and did not expand the scope of their chance encounter.

In comparison, the Kingdom of Stone has no face at all.

It has neither chakra warriors nor ninja villages like the Iron Kingdom.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure both come whenever they want, and they meet by chance wherever they want.

Whether they are Sand Ninja or Iwa Ninja, in the impression of outsiders, they are all a bit unhuman, cold, and taciturn.

Facts have proved that this is extremely wrong, that is, I have not met the right person.

Once Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja meet by chance, they will be passionate.

The same situation will also happen in the northern border of the Iron Kingdom.

The passionate interaction between Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja made a certain boss who farmed in the underground world very unhappy.

In the dark and vast basement, Black Zetsu, whom Uchiha Shingen had not seen for a long time, was discussing with a group of White Zetsu how to deal with the increasingly frequent seawater infiltration problem.

Boom~~

There was a faint roar in the distance, and vibrations could also be felt in the underground space.

"This movement should be that the Jonin is fighting, right?" Bai Zetsu glanced at the top of the space and said to Black Zetsu in front of him, "Hei Zetsu, why don't you check it? With this strength, I think it will leak."

Hei Jue: "..."

When he first moved here, he had a complicated mood.

Uchiha Shingen's actions in Kirigakure made him have to admit that the two of them were not on the same page.

So it moved away from the Kingdom of Grass and came to the Kingdom of Iron.

There was no way, the old base had already been set foot on by Uchiha Shingen.

Moreover, Black Zetsu didn't know how it would respond if it didn't move and Uchiha Shingen came again.

Ask directly? It seems inappropriate.

Do not ask? It was filled with panic.

It's better to just leave and stay out of sight.

"Go and have a look." Hei Jue said dully.

"Okay." Bai Jue's true body said happily, it had long wanted to run away.

It felt that Hei Jue was probably out of his mind.

They are the only white Zetsu here except Black Zetsu, and Black Zetsu actually asked them how to prevent water seepage from an engineering design perspective.

If it knew, could it still be Bai Jue?

It's okay to let the Bai Jue people build this thing according to the drawings, but let them design the drawings and make it easier to collapse on site.

The main body left, and the other white Zetsu looked at the black Zetsu blankly, as if waiting for it to speak.

Hei Jue looked so irritated.

"It's gone." It waved its hand, "Go and do whatever you have to do."

Really, it doesn’t make it worry-free at all!

When he first selected this place to build a base, Hei Jue was very satisfied.

I don’t think so now.

Because this place is too close to the sea, there were no people on the surface in the past so I couldn't feel it, but now Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja are having sex on the ground at every turn, and the consequences are obvious.

Earth Escape is really annoying!

But Black Zetsu had to endure.

We can't move anymore, and it's not easy to move now.

Now this base has been "planted" with nearly 20,000 White Zetsus. If this was moved, the entire ninja world would know about it.

【Damn Iwagakure! You have to talk to Obito to weaken this country first! 】

Once upon a time, Black Zetsu felt that Konoha was the most troublesome.

But now, it feels that Iwagakure is the most troublesome. This group of Iwagakure often engages in large-scale earth escape, which does too much damage to its base.

Say Obito, Obito is here.

When the vibrations stopped, the space in front of Black Zetsu was distorted, and Uchiha Obito came out wearing Kumogakure's combat uniform.

"Hei Zetsu, has the base been affected?"

Uchiha Obito asked this question first as soon as he appeared.

Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the battle just now was probably Uchiha Obito fighting someone.

"That was you just now?"

"What do you mean, it's me?" Uchiha Obito was unhappy, "I was the one who killed the Iwa nin who was messing around with Earth Release here!"

"It has a great impact. The day before yesterday, one of the breeding rooms collapsed, crushing many clones. I had to spend more resources to restore them." Black Zetsu did not argue with Uchiha Obito and told him matter-of-factly. his specific situation.

"Obito, how long will this continue?"

"It can't be shorter. Now it seems that this base needs to be moved. It's too close to the seaside."

Uchiha Obito has now risen to the rank of Jonin in Kumogakure, and can also know the battle plan of Kumogakure.

"How to move?" Hei Jue shook his head, "There are so many Bai Jue, we can't move them."

"I didn't ask you to change the place directly." Uchiha Obito felt that Hei Zetsu was really smart. "You dig a new space inland. Fill the dug soil here."

"But if it is really bombed, it will still be discovered." Hei Jue said, "The point is not that it is close to the seaside, but that this place will become a battlefield."

It only worries about this. It has been waiting for this opportunity for a thousand years, and it cannot accept this risk.

"Don't worry, Kumogakure is also worried about Konoha's interference, and they will not go near the inland." Uchiha Obito sneered, and then said, "Time waits for no one, you should start taking action now, Kumo Ninja Army and Sand The Ninja Army will launch a formal attack next month."

"Okay..." Hei Jue thought for a while, but couldn't come up with any other ideas, so he had to agree.

Looking at Uchiha Obito's Kumogakure military uniform, Black Zetsu couldn't help but ask:

"How long will it take for you to master Cloud Hidden Village?"

"I have now been promoted to their Jonin." Uchiha Obito said, "But this war is a good opportunity. If I become Kumogakure's war hero, I will be one step closer to that position."
