Chapter 71

They knew Shimura Danzo's nature all too well.

What's going on now? Did he change his personality?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado looked strange.

Danzo...

Did he take the wrong medicine?

Just then, Shimura Danzo continued: "The Land of Whirlpools just experienced a painful national destruction event, and now that they have restored their country, they have engaged in a fierce war with the Land of Water!"

"Although they achieved a hard-won victory, they certainly cannot fully control the Land of Water. To prevent rebellion in the Land of Water, Konoha has an obligation to help our allies manage the Land of Water!"

Uchiha and the others: "..."

Good grief, they were just wondering when this old dog Shimura Danzo changed his personality.

So that's what he was waiting for!

He actually set his sights on the territory of the Land of Water!

It must be said that Shimura Danzo's intentions were very sinister!

In the past, there had been conflicts between major ninja villages, but no one had ever been able to bite a piece of meat off anyone else.

It wasn't that no one had thought about it.

It was that the conditions didn't allow it!

Although ninjas had high mobility, they were ultimately marching on foot.

Once troops were sent deep into other countries, subsequent supplies were a very big factor.

Therefore, no one had ever been able to conquer a piece of territory from another country.

It could be said that the Land of Whirlpools had now set a precedent for the Ninja World!

Because they successfully occupied a country!

Of course, after seeing the intelligence about the Land of Whirlpools' Space-Time Ninjutsu capable of large-scale transfer, others were no longer surprised.

If any of them had such ninjutsu, they could directly transfer tens of thousands of ninjas and launch a surprise attack to easily break through a ninja village.

It was conceivable how covetous other ninja villages were when they saw this Space-Time Ninjutsu.

But they were still relatively calm.

After all, with the strength the Land of Whirlpools had exposed, it was no longer something they could easily handle.

Not to mention that the geographical location of the Land of Whirlpools was not that easy to attack.

Otherwise, during the Land of Whirlpools' national destruction event, Cloud Hidden Village would not have cooperated with Kirigakure.

And now, Shimura Danzo actually schemed against the Land of Whirlpools, wanting to bite a piece of meat off the Land of Water in the name of helping an ally without spending a single soldier or vehicle?

You really are a good ally!

Everyone looked at Shimura Danzo with strange expressions.

Shimura Danzo didn't care and continued:

"Since it's an alliance, it's inevitable that you help me and I help you. Now that Konoha's front-line combat power is tight, the Land of Whirlpools should extend a helping hand to help Konoha overcome the difficulties!"

At this moment, Shimura Danzo revealed his true colors:

"Since the intelligence records that the Land of Whirlpools is suspected of mastering the technology to forge ninja swords with special abilities, why don't they support us with a batch of such ninja swords."

"Of course..." Shimura Danzo lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "... it would be even better if they were willing to share the technology of forging ninja swords with our Konoha for free."

The Uchiha Clan Head and others looked at each other; Shimura Danzo's self-proclaimed title was really not wrong!

He really is Konoha's Darkness!

Is this helping the Land of Whirlpools?

Is this seeking support from the Land of Whirlpools?

This is clearly digging up the roots of the Land of Whirlpools!

Just imagine, what if Shimura Danzo wanted them to hand over their family bloodline limits and secret techniques like the Sharingan and Byakugan one day!

*Hiss—*

How vicious!

"I disagree!"

Tsunade slammed the table and glared at Shimura Danzo.

As the newly appointed head of the Medical Department, she had also gained the qualification to participate in Konoha's high-level meetings today.

She just didn't expect to hear such sinister content!

Do you treat the Land of Whirlpools as an ally?

That's clearly a sucker!

Shimura Danzo closed his eyes and said: "Oh? Does the head of the Medical Department have any opinions?"

Tsunade stared at Shimura Danzo and said sonorously: "The Land of Whirlpools is our ally in Konoha, not a sucker who dedicates everything to Konoha!"

"Heh, I'm doing this for Konoha!"

"You!"

"Enough."

Tsunade wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said: "The Land of Whirlpools is our ally in Konoha; we cannot do things that make our allies difficult."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's somewhat conscientious statement, Tsunade sat back down.

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued: "However, the Land of Whirlpools has just restored its country, and they are indeed short of manpower. In the spirit of humanitarianism, we can send people to ask if they need Konoha's assistance."

"And now Konoha's front-line combat power is indeed a bit tight, so we can seek support from the Land of Whirlpools for a batch of elite ninja squads capable of using those ninja swords to relieve Konoha's pressure."

"Hiruzen-sensei..."

Tsunade looked at him in disbelief; she really couldn't imagine that such words would come out of his mouth!

"Heh, last time the Land of Whirlpools asked for help, Konoha ignored the alliance; now that Konoha needs the Land of Whirlpools, the alliance is restored?"

Tsunade's eyes were full of disappointment, and she couldn't help but mock.

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained: "Don't worry, Tsunade, Konoha will not forcibly demand the knowledge and technology of our allies; we just need support in terms of elite combat power."

Tsunade shook her head and said: "Forget it, I can't continue this meeting at all, let's leave it at that."

*Bang! * Tsunade slammed the door and left.

Shimura Danzo chuckled.

Hiruzen, you really live up to your name!

Once the Land of Whirlpools agrees to the aid, can those ninjas carrying ninja swords ever return?
