I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 242 242. Konoha is no longer the number one ninja village.

The battle between Susanoo and Shukaku was as destructive as a small earthquake.

After only a few rounds of fighting, the originally magnificent arena had been destroyed beyond recognition and lost its original appearance.

This reminded the Konoha ninjas who had been immersed in peace for several years to recall the horror of war.

But even in the war years, they did not face pressure from the tailed beasts all the time, and the aftermath of the casual fight between the green samurai and Shukaku was enough to injure the chunin like them.

After quickly closing the distance, the Konoha Ninja Village locked its eyes on Naruto and the others.

The Susana samurai was certainly powerful, but at most it was comparable to the tailed beasts, and this young man was the hidden boss. If the other party could take action, Shukaku might not be his opponent.

Hundreds of meters away.

The Fire Country Daimyo, who had previously waved a paper fan and behaved calmly, had collapsed to the ground. If Konoha Anbu hadn't noticed this Daimyo, the Fire Country Daimyo would have died in the arena.

Looking at Shukaku and Susanoo fighting in the distance, the Fire Country Daimyo said with trembling hands and feet: "This is different from what we promised before. This is different from what we promised before."

Tsunade, who had recovered from the blood-phobia, looked at the embarrassed Fire Country daimyo, and said with hatred of steel:

"Lord Daimyo, it's better to explain the whole story clearly. Didn't I tell you not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ninja Village?"

"Tsunade-hime, does Konoha also have this kind of monster..."

The Daimyo of the Fire Country didn't answer the question. After seeing Tsunade nodding, he whispered about the deal with Orochimaru and the Sarutobi clan half a year ago.

Half a year ago, the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan found the daimyo and proposed to join forces with the daimyo to regain the position of Hokage for the third generation.

Faced with Sarutobi Ninja's proposal, the Fire Country Daimyo readily agreed. After all, Konoha's recent reforms had touched the interests of the Daimyo, so he came up with the idea of ​​replacing the Hokage.

"Lord Daimyo, you actually cooperated with Orochimaru and Sunagakure's people..."

Tsunade held her forehead, speechless about the daimyo's treason. However, at the beginning of the reform, she and Jiraiya also expected that the daimyo would resist, but they did not expect it to be a way of uniting with outsiders.

After a pause, Tsunade frowned and said: "I made it very clear to you last time. Jiraiya does not have to reform, but if he does not reform, Konoha and the Land of Fire will not be able to survive in the ninja world. Survive.”

"Your Majesty, wouldn't you rather Konoha be destroyed and the Fire Nation be destroyed than give up some of your interests?"

The Daimyo of the Fire Country was silent for a while and then said: "Tsunade-hime, I understand. I will restrain the nobles under my command and fully support the policies of the Leaf Village."

"You better actually do it."

Tsunade glanced at the embarrassed Fire Country Daimyo, then put her hands on her hips and looked at the arena in the distance.

The ninja who fought with Shukaku should be Uchiha Shisui. According to legend, Susanoo's power is comparable to that of tailed beasts. Shisui has already gained the same power as tailed beasts.

The mysterious boy standing near the arena should be Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and Haku and Haku.

As for the other two mysterious figures around Naruto, Tsunade could not make a specific guess. They should be the jounin recruited by Uzushio Village over the years and participated in the chunin exam together.

At this time, several Anbu appeared beside Tsunade and reported the current situation in the village.

Judging from the intelligence content, except for the other battlefields outside the arena, the situation faced by Konoha is not optimistic. Even if it can achieve the final victory, it will pay an unbearable price.

If you want to find a breakthrough, you may have to ask for help from Uzumaki Village.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade asked most of the Konoha ninjas to stay where they were, and she took a few Anbu and rushed towards the edge of the arena where Naruto was.

Not long after, Tsunade appeared near Naruto, staring at Naruto and the others.

After sensing Tsunade's chakra, Naruto turned to look at the young old woman and said with a chuckle: "It turns out to be Tsunade-sama. We haven't seen each other for more than two years since the last time we saw each other, right?"

Tsunade didn't ask why Naruto appeared in Konoha, and said straightforwardly: "Naruto, Konoha needs your help, and Jiraiya and I will give you a satisfactory reward."

Naruto glanced at Tsunade and said angrily: "Konoha still needs the help of traitorous ninjas? Why don't you find Orochimaru? No, he seems to be having a heart-to-heart with the Third Hokage now."

Tsunade endured her anger and said as calmly as possible: "Naruto, if you help this time, Konoha will no longer pursue the Nine-Tails in your body and other Uchiha living in Uzushio Village."

"Even if I don't help, Konoha can't do anything to Uzushio Village."

Naruto frowned slightly, not very satisfied with Tsunade's proposal. At times like this, he needed to take advantage of the situation and ruthlessly reap benefits for Uzushio Village.

"How about this. In exchange for helping Konoha, I need the territory of Kawanoguni."

The Kingdom of Kawa is one of the small countries around Konoha, but its strategic significance is extremely important. Once the remaining great ninja villages obtain the Kingdom of Kawa, the hinterland of the Country of Fire will be completely exposed.

Unable to suppress her anger, Tsunade clenched her fists and said, "Konoha is not incapable of dealing with Sunagakure and Orochimaru's troops. Naruto, don't go too far. You were once a ninja of Konoha."

"In recent years, without the market of the Country of Fire, the Country of Whirlpool would not have developed so rapidly."

"You should understand that it is better to maintain a good relationship with Konoha than for us to completely break up."

"Tsunade-senpai, aren't negotiations all about demanding prices? Don't get too angry, otherwise even the Yin Seal won't be able to maintain your beauty..."

After a pause, Naruto continued: "But Senior Tsunade seems to have overlooked one thing. With the strength of your village, you can indeed cope with the combination of Orochimaru and Sunagakure, but what if Uzushio Village also joins the attack on Konoha? "

Tsunade's expression changed drastically, and her clenched fists suddenly felt weak.

Naruto was right. If even Uzushio Village participated in the plan to collapse Konoha, Konoha would be unable to resist with its current strength. The best result would be to defend a devastated Konoha.

Naruto ignored Tsunade's negative expression, and after passing by Tsunade, he left a light word:

"I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Konoha for the time being, but I would like to ask Konoha to correct its attitude. After experiencing the Kyuubi Rebellion and the Uchiha Night, Konoha is no longer the number one ninja village in the ninja world."

"I will deal with Shukaku, but not for you Konoha..."

"After this turmoil is over, Uzushio Village will make a list and collect corresponding rewards. Tsunade-senpai is better to hide behind and watch the battle. It is better to prepare supplies in advance."

After saying that, Naruto disappeared from the spot, jumped into the air, and condensed a large spiral wheel in his hand.
