After the last conversation, Orochimaru and Kahn rarely saw each other.
The intention is almost confirmed, and the two parties can also cooperate in depth; as long as Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage, the relationship between Kahn and Konoha will ease a lot, and Orochimaru will also help Kahn stop the embarrassment from Konoha, allowing him to seize the name Location.
Everyone has their needs and needs, Dashewan's bottom line is very simple; if the bottom line is not involved, and there is a need for cooperation, then he is easy to speak
The current Orochimaru is not like losing his disciples and the position of Hokage more than ten years later. He has the name of Sannin for nothing, but he has nothing to worry about in the village. After seeing the essence of life, he chooses to develop forbidden techniques and betray the village.
The current Orochimaru has a disciple with a bright future, and he is also a well-known ninja in the ninja world. He also commanded the battlefield on the border of the country of grass just now. It can be said that the future is boundless.
He doesn't have the idea of rebelling against the village at all. His current ideal has only been influenced by Kahn, and has changed slightly; from learning all the techniques of the ninja world to mastering all the knowledge.
However, with the identity of Konoha Murakami Shinobi and the name of Sannin, it did not help his dream goal at all, so Kahn magnified the thought of being Hokage in Dashemaru's heart.
And Kahn can provide him with more resources, and the two have the same goals but are somewhat different. It is better to cooperate with Kahn than to be wary of that stupid daimyo of Konoha all day long.
For these reasons, the relationship between Orochimaru and Kahn is one step closer.
And he and Kahn also revealed some things about Bai Fang. According to the information Orochimaru tortured from some Iwanin on the front line, they knew very early that someone was going to attack the border station, so they made preparations in advance.
But Konoha Baiga was too strong, and with two teams, he escaped from the pursuit of the eight teams of Iwanin; although there was no downsizing, Konoha Baiga's identity was still recognized by Iwanin.
With silver-white hair and a chakra dagger of white light, Hatake Sakumo didn't kill all the chasing Iwanin, so it was impossible to hide his identity.
Orochimaru doesn't understand Sand Ninja, but the difference should not be too big; and it may be a little more serious, otherwise the fire country daimyo will not send envoys to hold them accountable, plus the atmosphere in the village, if there is no one to contribute, Who would believe it.
The envoy of the daimyo came to Konoha soon. He may have received instructions from the daimyo before he set off. After arriving in Konoha, he came to visit Kahn.
Although his position has no real power, he is at least a public minister, strictly speaking, his status is higher than that of an envoy; coupled with Kahn's exposed reputation and chamber of commerce, he can be regarded as a top upstart in the country of fire.
The envoy of the Daming Mansion told Kahn about the daimyo's orders, discussed with Kahn the content to be published in the newspaper, and then left.
On the second day, the envoys of the Daming Prefecture, Kahn and reporters from Konoha News came directly to the Hokage Building.
After seeing Kahn, except for Tsunade who was slightly surprised, everyone else looked flat, as if they knew Kahn would come.
After all, Kahn is the Minister of Publicity of the Fire Nation. Although he is a newly appointed minister, he is still at the level of a minister;
On Konoha's side, in addition to Naruto and the other three high-level Konohas, there are also some elite ninjas in the village who have important responsibilities, such as Orochimaru who just came back from the battlefield, Tsunade, the director of Konoha Hospital, who is in the ninja class Squad leader Nara Yishin, and Kato Duan, who may take over as the squad leader of the ninja squad, and others.
However, the most important Sakumo Hatake did not show up, which is really unbelievable. Although the lack of appearance may have the meaning of protection, but all the people present are from the country of fire. The daimyo appreciates Sakumo Hatake, so it may be that Kahn is an outsider.
"Third Hokage Your Excellency, appointed by the daimyo, came to let me inquire about your village Hatake Sakumo's behavior in the land of the wind."
After the envoy of the Daming Mansion finished explaining his intentions, he asked his attendant to take out a scroll, handed it to Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and asked, "Is the task above assigned by the third generation?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned slightly. After the task was conveyed, only he would leave the record scroll here, and ninjas outside would never have this thing; but he still opened the scroll and read it. After reading the things written on the scroll, Sarutobi Fei Ri Zhan also felt very troublesome.
Destroying the Sand Ninja border garrison, assassinating the family of the Finance Minister of the Wind Country, Qingsuke, and destroying trade routes... Any one of them is a felony for undermining the diplomacy of the two countries, especially the assassination of the Finance Minister of the Wind Country, Konohamoto I won't do that, leaving the task on the scroll will become someone else's handle.
"It is a forgery, Your Excellency."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with certainty: "After Konoha Ninja takes over the mission, he will not take the so-called scroll out. This is a rule established decades ago, so this is planting."
"Well, although the daimyo replied to the envoys of the two countries in the same way, it is a fact that Qingsuke's family in the country of the wind was killed, and the other party is also concerned about this... It is difficult for daimyo, Your Excellency the third Hokage."
The envoy showed embarrassment, and then asked: "Speaking of which, Konoha Baiya's prestige has been heard by daimyo, and he is often praised...why is there a problem with this mission, and people..."
The envoy didn't say such an obvious framing. As a member of the Daming Mansion, he generally wouldn't be too sure about what he said, otherwise his behavior would be misunderstood by the Third Hokage as the meaning of a daimyo.
"This is Hatake Sakumo himself being too naive!"
Danzo suddenly said, he is Hokage Fuzuo, and it is too simple to say some facts.
"Knowing that the rescue was hopeless, Hatake Sakumoming still chose to expose Konoha and allow the enemy to frame him successfully; if he had returned to the Fire Nation in time, then the other party would never have planted this incident on the Fire Nation!
And we will only have a ninja captured by the other party, who can still be redeemed by diplomatic means afterwards. "
The last sentence of Danzo was extremely naive. How could a captured ninja be easily redeemed? More than ten years later, Morino Yin Hiki was captured by the enemy. Even if he returned to Konoha, he was tortured very ugly.
And now there is a tendency for the two major ninja villages to go to war. Once captured, except for medical ninjas, they are worth a bit, and other ninjas will be tortured into inhuman shapes.
However, the envoy of the Daming Mansion didn't know the situation. After listening to Danzo's words, he also felt very reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "So that's the case. It seems that this time it was indeed Konoha Baiya's mistake... Mr. Gongqing, you What do you think?"
"I don't have any objections. Everything should be carried out according to His Majesty's wishes."
Kahn shook his head and said, he has no intention of helping Hatake Sakumo at the moment, speculation cannot be used as evidence, unless he finds hard evidence of planting, otherwise he cannot help him.
"Since this is the case, I hope that Lord Hokage of the Third Hokage will allow me to bring back a detailed report to Daimyo... Also, the daimyo of the land of wind asked daimyo for compensation, and daimyo has already agreed, so Konoha Village In the future, the funding will also be reduced."
"what?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and the other two consultants were taken aback, cut funding? Why at this time!
"Your Excellency..."
The daimyo envoy said helplessly: "There is no way to do this. The daimyo of the country of wind is very angry, and daimyo has to think a lot, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the two countries completely cut off communication.
And this is what Daimyo-sama means, if Your Excellency the Third Hokage has any objections, please go to the capital and talk to Daimyo-sama in person. "
It should be that the nobles who do business will be very troublesome. The Land of Wind is the country with the richest mines in the ninja world. Once there is no business route, the loss of the nobles of the Fire Land will make them extremely heartbroken.
But cutting the budget made Konoha even more troublesome. Except for Orochimaru, all the Konoha ninjas in the house frowned slightly after hearing the cut, almost going to war soon.
But it was obviously unrealistic to tell the envoy, Hiruzaru Sarutobi glared at Danzo secretly, and then worried in his heart; he can only go to the Daimyofu in the capital now, otherwise Konoha would not even be able to buy all the military supplies.
In order to suppress Sakumo, who is biased toward the daimyo, Konoha has to face the situation of cutting funds; if he knew this would end up in the first place, Hiruzaru Sarutobi would definitely stop it after realizing this.
However, the daimyo should know that Hatake Sakumo was framed, so why did he still treat Konoha... Sarutobi Hiruzaru took a puff of tobacco, and suddenly had a guess; but he is not sure, if this matter is what he thinks , You also need the root of Danzang to do it.
...
The matter ended quickly, and Kahn only said one sentence, and spent the rest of the time watching the performance of the people in the room.
After Hatake Sakumo's incident alone, the chances of competing for Hokage were reduced several times. Among the remaining people, only Tsunade and Kato Dan were a little threatening to Orochimaru's Hokage position.
However, if Orochimaru expresses that he wants to run for Hokage, Tsunade will probably not compete with him, because after Orochimaru, there is a high probability that he will be Natoki, and Tsunade has no interest in the position of Hokage, so how could he possibly have trouble with his younger brother.
From this point of view, Kato is alone. Kahn thought about Namikaze Minato, but he couldn't think of how Namikaze Minato could compete with Orochimaru.
Discuss with Orochimaru...Kan just raised his head, wanting to see the location of Orochimaru, when he saw a plump snow-white mass approaching him.
"Hey, you guys haven't seen each other for a while, why did you suddenly become Lord Gongqing?"
Tsunade suddenly approached Kahn and asked about it.
"It was about a few months ago. Are you so busy that you don't even pay attention to it?"
Kahn pointed to the newspaper in the hands of the villagers on the street, and said to Tsunade: "Ninja Weekly was founded by me, with the permission of His Excellency Daimyo, and because of my literary works, he also took the opportunity to give me the position of promoting the public secretary. ."
"Medical jutsu has been developed and popularized all this time, so... wait, your literature?"
Tsunade suddenly remembered the book that Nakoki and Kushina were secretly reading, and she also read a little secretly. He, who had never been in a relationship, almost tore up the book in shame and anger. Fortunately, she thought that it was a book bought by Nakoki, and then it was intact The ones were put in Jiu Xinnai's drawer.
She didn't expect Kahn to write such a revealing book, and the daimyo also liked to read it?
"Don't get me wrong, I have more than ten books, and many of them are works with high literary depth."
Kahn originally wanted to share a few books for Tsunade to learn more about, but he thought that she didn't have the temperament of a literary girl at all, so she didn't know even if she said it, so she gave up this plan, and then asked about other things.
"Are you looking for me just to confirm this?"
