Chapter 239 Everyone's on Our Side
Because he lacked Madara Uchiha's guidance and education, Obito's overall understanding of the ninja world is still quite shallow.
But coincidentally, he had an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of things happening around Orochimaru, or more accurately, around Rei Rinpo!
There was nothing he could do; that face always managed to capture his entire attention the moment it appeared.
At this moment, Obito is unaware of the rise of the Akatsuki, the war situation in the ninja world, and the grudges and entanglements between the five great villages. He is also unaware of many basic pieces of information that are not even considered basic by the intelligence departments of each village.
But what he possessed was the knowledge of the whereabouts of the One-Tailed Beast, which was being sought by intelligence agencies in various villages; he saw through the superficial alliance between Orochimaru and the village; and he could even accurately distinguish which ninjas on the western front of Konoha were Orochimaru's absolute loyalists, which were neutral, and which were more inclined towards the village's higher-ups.
Obito knew all of this top-secret information, which was extremely valuable to outsiders and even to the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.
So the moment Miyo released the news, he realized faster than anyone else in the ninja world that Miyo was lying and trying to shift the blame!
Perhaps even Shiba Kiyokawa himself never imagined that the clone he unintentionally created to protect Orochimaru would play such a huge role in changing the world line!
At this point, Obito had begun to question everything from the past because he had witnessed too much darkness!
"A warm village? The meaning of battle? The Will of Fire is to protect everyone? Hah! It's all fake! It's all fake!! How foolish I was to dream of becoming Hokage!"
Under the influence of extreme paranoia, even Minato Namikaze's careful guidance and education in the past are now cloaked in hypocrisy in Obito's memories!
This boy, who had dedicated his life to becoming Hokage for over a decade, has finally embarked on a path of hating everything and wanting to destroy the village!
As for Shiba Kiyokawa, one of the instigators of all this, he heard Konoha's public statement and simply smiled sarcastically.
Before him, the new Kazekage of Sunagakure, on whom Konoha placed high hopes and believed he would fight the Akatsuki for the sake of the Tailed Beasts, was kneeling on a cushion, humbly seeking his advice on managing the town.
When discussing Konoha's countermeasures, Pakura asked, "Should I make excuses for Konoha?"
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled and refused, "No, it's not necessary. You can agree to anything."
"What?"
"If Konoha requests your cooperation against the Land of Rain in subsequent negotiations, you can agree to it."
Then take the opportunity to demand corresponding compensation and concessions from them.
Once you have the money and supplies, don't delay. Use the time to build a road in the desert from Loulan to Sunagakure. If you still have the resources, build another road to the sea.
If Konoha asks, just say you're preparing for the summer offensive.
Yekura then realized Shiba Kiyokawa's cunning!
This is clearly spending Miyo's money to enrich themselves!
With their high mobility, ninjas do not rely on roads at all in open terrains such as deserts and grasslands.
Caravans were the ones who truly relied on the roads!
Now that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has been killed, the newly appointed Daimyo is a softie they carefully selected. He was so subdued that he could barely keep his hands on his hands when he met the Queen of Loulan. He is no match for the Akatsuki organization in dumping Loulan's industrial products into the Land of Wind in the future!
Food from the Land of Demons, water from the Land of Rain, and industrial products from Loulan will all flow freely through the Land of Wind from now on!
The only thing still hindering the Akatsuki's colonization of the Land of Wind is the poor infrastructure within the Land of Wind.
Unlike the Hidden Stone Village, the ninjas of the Sand Village are not skilled in Earth Release and have no particular expertise in the field of exterminating ash.
If we don't rely on the power of ninjas, then a lot of investment is needed. Although the Akatsuki organization currently has a high income, there are many areas that need to be developed, and the Land of Wind is not on the list for the time being.
So Shiba Kiyokawa thought of the all-powerful Konoha Village!
Since Konoha was the only place in the original story where all sorts of problems in the ninja world could be addressed by him, then it's perfectly reasonable for him and Sunagakure to "seek help" from Konoha now, isn't it?
This matter is actually recorded in a similar way in the original work. After the battle at Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure and Konoha made peace, and at that time, they agreed to fight against Kumogakure together, and almost all the war reparations were waived.
Even the subsequent actions were shut down by Iwagakure in the original work: Onoki stood Miha up.
Since Iwagakure did this, Shiba Kiyokawa will naturally not hold back when it comes to framing people.
Not to mention that Konoha itself handed this opportunity to them!
"From now on, Konoha will publicly acknowledge anything Akatsuki has done. If necessary, Gi will even take the initiative to provoke Konoha. You can take this opportunity to use the condition of a joint attack on the Land of Rain to try your best to gain benefits for Sunagakure and make up for the disadvantages brought about by the defeat."
At this moment, Yekura couldn't help but feel once again the gap between himself and Shiba Kiyokawa in terms of wisdom and integrity.
If the Ninja World War had been fought like this earlier, some villages would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Shiba Kiyokawa then added, "Also, if I'm not mistaken, given Konoha's actions, Orochimaru is unlikely to be the one negotiating with you next. You don't need to be gentle; the more assertive you are, the better. They probably need this merit more than you do."
Yekura still had some concerns, saying, "We're too aggressive. What if Konoha restarts the war?"
Although Yekura used this battle to completely control Sunagakure and eliminate all obstacles, Sunagakure suffered real losses and almost lost its ability to wage war.
Shiba Kiyokawa laughed. "Why don't you consider who Konoha would appoint as commander if the war were to resume? And if you're not assertive, how can they believe you're capable of helping them fight Akatsuki?"
Ye Cang then realized what was going on.
At this moment, she once again felt the thrill of playing against someone on her own terms, with the referee, the opponent, the venue, and even external factors all being on her side!
Soon after, just as Comrade Hajime had predicted, Miyo replaced the negotiators.
Danzo was "appointed in a time of crisis" and sat down at opposite ends of the negotiating table on behalf of Konoha and Pakura.
As Danzo watched Yekura sit down and casually remove the Kazekage hat placed in front of him, naked jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Yekura is no longer the acting Kazekage!
She has become the rightful Fifth Kazekage, and the one who wields absolute power!
"Ting!"
As negotiations began, Danzo attempted to pressure the other party with an arrogant attitude.
However, after only a few rounds, Danzo felt a huge setback and resistance!
Why is this happening? Didn't the intelligence say that Sunagakure had already suffered serious damage in the battle at Kikyo Mountain? At that moment, Danzo's perfect confidence suddenly cracked.
Things didn't seem to be going as he had expected—
