This sentence aroused the hostility of the Fourth Raikage, who snorted coldly and said: "Don't talk sarcastically here, Tsuchikage, pornography, gambling and drugs are taboos for our ninjas, and will seriously erode the spirit of ninjas. Nozomi, order

Go down and collect all these drugs for destruction."

"I just said casually, don't make such a big fuss, Raikage boy. I agree to destroy these drugs."

Onoki smiled.

"I agree."

Yagura nodded.

"Seconded."

Shiraishi also chose to support the destruction of these drugs.

"So, before the supplies are counted, what we need to deal with now are the more than 60,000 prisoners. How should we deal with this?"

Xi raised a difficult question.

Although ninja battles often affect ordinary people.

However, this is not a war period, not to mention that most of the slaves here were forced to get involved.

Even if they were allowed to take action, it would be difficult to be completely ruthless.

"For those who have families, we will provide them with travel expenses so that they can go home and continue their lives. For those who have no home, we will divide them equally among the four countries and extradite them to our own countries for officials to make arrangements."

Shiraishi suggested.

This proposal is also a method approved by Raikage and others.

It not only saves a lot of expenses, but also increases the population of our country. Presumably the great names behind us will not refuse.

"Are the captured wealthy businessmen and ninjas subject to the same treatment?"

Xi asked.

It is not feasible to hand over all the captives of wealthy businessmen to one country, so the only feasible option is to divide them equally.

"The wealthy businessmen with minor problems will be given a brief warning. The wealthy businessmen with serious problems will be directly imprisoned and tried. As for the captured ninjas, they need to be controlled. If you don't mind, I hope to take over these people. I will pay some sufficient

The price will satisfy the three of you."

"oh?"

Onoki and others looked at Shiraishi.

"We in the Kingdom of Ghosts have had several huge projects to be carried out simultaneously in recent years. If these ninjas are just imprisoned, it would be a waste of resources. The government departments of the Kingdom of Ghosts will carry out impressive labor reforms on these ninja captives and turn them into new people.

It will not become a hidden danger to the peace of the ninja world."

"No problem, but I can't leave all the ninjas with blood inheritance limits to you."

The Fourth Raikage pointed this out.

Isolated island merchants like to collect ninjas with bloodline limits. Not to mention the rarity of bloodline limits, these ninjas with special bloodlines have extremely high research value. If they can be incorporated into the ninja village system, they can be regarded as a kind of

Resources are utilized rationally.

Therefore, the Bloodline Limited Ninja and Cloud Hidden Village are bound to be acquired and will not be transferred.

Rather than money, Cloud Hidden Village pays more attention to the research and combat value brought by the Bloodline Ninja.

"Can."

Shiraishi had no objection. Then he looked at Onoki and Yagura and asked, "What do you two think?"

Onoki and Yagura looked at each other and nodded.

"Our intention is the same as Raikage's. Except for the limited blood ninjas, the Kingdom of Demons can take away all the ninja captives and pay appropriate rewards at that time."

After everything was settled, the atmosphere of the subsequent meeting became very harmonious.

Although everyone here knows that this kind of harmony is limited to this one action.

After carving up the island, the next time we meet may not be friends, but enemies.

December 10th.

An urgent report broke the peace in the Land of Fire.

The Kumogakure Village of Thunder Country dispatched two thousand ninjas to the border between Yuno Country and Fire Country, announcing to the outside world that they were conducting military exercises in Yuno Country, and stated that they had no intention of offending Fire Country and Konoha Ninja Village and did not need to worry.

It's just that this explanation has not been understood by the Fire Nation's Daming Mansion and Konoha Village.

Kumogakure has placed the blade at the door of the Country of Fire. Although there is a Konoha garrison at the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Yu, the number of ninjas stationed in the garrison is only a few hundred. If Kumogakure has any intention

Invading the Land of Fire, the five hundred Konoha ninjas placed at the border would be unable to resist the vanguard troops of Kumogakure Village.

It's just that this kind of condemnation can only be said to be neither painful nor itchy to Kumo Yin and the Kingdom of Thunder.

Although the Kumogakure troops stationed in the Country of Yu are very close to the Country of Fire, only a few kilometers away, strictly speaking, they still belong to the territory of the Country of Yu. Therefore, Kumogakure and the Country of Thunder have not destroyed

The armistice agreement signed with Konoha and the Land of Fire a few years ago.

Although such condemnation was loud, it did not cause the Kingdom of Thunder and Kumogakure to lose anything.

After all, Yunyin's military exercise has already obtained the consent of Yu Zhiguo's daimyo. From a general point of view, Yunyin's military exercise can be justified.

After learning the news, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate. He held a high-level meeting and dispatched more than a thousand Konoha ninjas as quickly as possible to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Yu.

Keep an eye on the Kumogakure troops who are conducting military exercises in Yuno Country.

Although Hiruzen didn't know why Kumogakure would do such a thing at this time, it didn't stop Hiruzen from being wary of Kumogakure.

Compared to the Kingdom of Ghosts, the aggression in Cloud Hidden Village is even more rampant.

From the Kumogakure Village collecting secret techniques and forbidden techniques from all over the ninja world, you should understand that the Kumogakure ninjas of the Land of Thunder are very keen on fighting and war.

The Raikages of the past generations were all war-fighting factions with a tough attitude. This resulted in a very small number of war-fighting members within Kumoyin Village, and none of them held important positions.

Even though they signed an armistice agreement with Kumogakure a few years ago, the agreement on paper is actually very limited in binding force. Konoha is not naive enough that a paper agreement can really make Kumogakure Village curb its ambitions.

"Is there anything you still haven't found out about the reason why Kumogakure is conducting military exercises in Tang Country?"

The Third Hokage summoned the Anbu Chief Kakashi Hatake and the Jonin Squad Leader Nara Shikaku and asked them to come here for discussion.

"I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama, but the Anbu didn't get any information about this. Kumogakure's military exercise was carried out suddenly. I think General Kumogakure's exercise is kept secret to this extent, and I want to make a fuss about it in a short time.

If we know the reason, even the ANBU may not be able to find anything useful through investigation."

Kakashi told the truth.

"Where are the spies in Kumogakure? Didn't they get any news back?"

Hiruzen asked.

Ninja villages in various countries have placed spies in each other's ninja villages. Naturally, Konoha has also placed spies in Kumogakure, and several of them have become jounin of Kumogakure.

Although he didn't occupy a position among the Jonin community, he was able to find out some important things.

Even if you can't find out, you should still get some information.

"There's one thing that's strange."

Kakashi remembered something and said.

"What?"

"That means that since more than half a month ago, the person handling the government affairs of Kumogakure Village was not the Fourth Raikage himself, but his secretary Mabuyi. Although Mabuyi claimed to the outside world that the Fourth Raikage was practicing some kind of powerful ninja

Taijutsu, I am temporarily unable to handle Kumogakure's government affairs. But now that Kumogakure is seeing such changes, I think the Fourth Raikage is probably not practicing ninjutsu, but has left Kumogakure Village."

Kakashi said.

"Are the sources of intelligence reliable?"

"Lord Hokage, these are just some speculations on my part. I don't know the specific situation. Because when it comes to the Fourth Raikage, basically only the Raikage's close associates know the inside truth."

Hiruzen considered for a moment, nodded, looked at Shikaku and asked: "Shikaku, what do you think of Kakashi's judgment?"

"Kakashi's words make sense, but if the Fourth Raikage really left Kumogakure, then where did he go and what did he do when he left Kumogakure? At the moment, all we know is

It’s just the fact that Kumogakure is conducting military exercises in Tang Country, there is still too little information.”

Shikaku frowned and answered.

"No matter what, we must be prepared to fight Kumogakure. Kakashi, remember to pass the order to the ANBU operating outside, and contact Jiraiya and Tsunade as soon as possible. The village needs their support now."

Hiruzen looked serious.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Kakashi nodded in assurance.

At this time, Shikaku remembered something and said in a tentative tone: "Well, Hokage-sama, do you think Kumogakure's sudden action may be related to the matter in the Kingdom of Rain?"

"The Land of Rain?"

Hiruzen was slightly startled. He did not speculate about such a connection.

"Yes, according to the intelligence collected by ANBU, the Iwagakure ninjas who were stationed in the Land of Rain have all evacuated from the borders of the Country of Rain. Now Kumogakure has begun to operate on the border of Yuno Country again. Is this arrangement correct?
