On the streets of Amegakure, a miraculous scene appeared.
The famous Third Kazekage Yun Qing of the ninja world was taking his guards and entourage to recruit people everywhere.
“Recruiting, recruiting, Sunagakure is recruiting a large number of people.”
“As long as you have a specialty, as long as you are willing to exert effort, come to our place and you will have a good life.”
“Twenty years of credibility, Sunagakure guarantees twenty years of credibility, it will absolutely not be bad.”
“Believing in us is giving yourself a way out.”
A group of Sand ninjas held umbrellas and called out loudly on the streets of Amegakure.
“What enviable weather.
Those who are in drought die of drought, and those who are waterlogged die of waterlogging.
If we just neutralized it, wouldn’t it be fine.”
Sitting under the eaves of the street, looking up at the sky full of heavy rain, Yun Qing sighed with a smile.
What was peculiar was that the rain falling in front of Yun Qing naturally parted ways.
“Yes, Lord Kazekage.
If this heavy rain fell in Sunagakure, our lives would be much better.”
The young female guard beside him sighed similarly.
“Hehe, Hanzo wishes this rain would fall in our Sunagakure.
If it weren’t for this rain, the national strength of the Land of Rain would directly catch up with Konoha.”
The Land of Rain’s geographical location was quite good, transportation was developed, it was a commercial hub, and the land and trees were also very lush.
Without this continuous heavy rain, what its national strength would be like, no one knows.
“Hehe, you must be joking.”
The young female guard opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
“Pakura, you are a genius girl of the Pakura clan.
Remember, don’t just look at one place with your eyes, observe more, it will be good for your future.”
Yun Qing glanced at the young girl beside him and said seriously.
The only Kekkei Genkai clan girl in Sunagakure, in the original story she was also a good combat asset, and someone he wanted to cultivate.
He didn’t want a genius girl to only know how to fight and kill.
“Yes, Lord Kazekage.”
Pakura lowered her head and said respectfully.
…
Inside the Amegakure building, Hanzo was processing government affairs.
“Lord Leader, the Third Kazekage is recruiting people everywhere in the village.
Do we need to stop him?”
A young ninja asked.
“No need.
If they want to recruit, let them.
The Third Kazekage is not a fool, he will give us an explanation.”
Hanzo replied without even raising his head.
Anyone who can sit in the leader’s position has good political IQ and their own set of ways to deal with people and situations.
“Send more people to observe the ninjas from Konoha and Iwagakure.
They are very likely to choose to start a war in the Land of Rain.”
Hanzo issued another order.
“Yes.”
……
At Konoha’s location, Hiruzen Sarutobi was comforting his three disciples, mainly comforting Tsunade.
Tsunade, who had lost face, was in a very bad mood right now and was throwing a tantrum.
With a smack, Tsunade directly smashed Hiruzen Sarutobi’s table, trembling all over and roaring:
“Old man, why do you have to swallow your anger?
Those bastards from Iwagakure and Sunagakure, they actually dared to scheme against us.
And Sunagakure is even a defeated party.”
“Calm down Tsunade, the old man definitely has his own considerations.”
Jiraiya next to her hurriedly stepped forward to advise.
“Tsunade, listen to the teacher finish.
The teacher definitely has his own considerations.”
Orochimaru advised with a numb scalp.
The terrifying memories Tsunade left behind still made him feel lingering fear.
Hearing the words of the two, and then looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi’s awkward face, Tsunade sat down panting.
“Sigh, there is no other way.
Konoha is constrained in too many areas.
We are fighting on multiple fronts and no longer have the energy to continue tangling with Sunagakure.” Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly: “Moreover, we didn’t come away empty-handed.
We also got what we wanted.”
Towards the end, a glint of light flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s eyes.
Orochimaru and the other two also immediately began to ponder.
“Is it those mission volumes?”
Jiraiya asked carefully.
“Idiot.” Tsunade smashed down a fist, causing Jiraiya to have close contact with the ground.
“It’s Sunagakure’s research on the One-Tail.
That is the most important thing.”
Orochimaru reminded from the side, sticking his tongue out.
“Research on the One-Tail?
Teacher, doesn’t our Konoha have Lord Mito?
The Nine-Tails can’t possibly cause trouble at all, why do we still want their Tailed Beast data?”
Jiraiya was truly full of confusion at this moment.
He didn’t know how strong Mito Uzumaki was, but he knew one thing: as long as Mito didn’t die, the Nine-Tails could never cause trouble.
“Idiot.
With Grandma here, the Nine-Tails is no problem.
Even if Grandma isn’t around anymore, we still have the Uzumaki clan as friends.
Our Konoha’s sealing jutsu is also unparalleled.
But look at the other ninja villages.
Their application of Tailed Beasts has already reached the battlefield.
Especially Sunagakure, they even used the One-Tail to research Magnet Release.
Think about Sunasuke’s strength.”
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with disdain.
With this IQ, calling it a basin wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“Exactly, just like Tsunade said, our research on Tailed Beasts is simply too little.
I suspect that the Third Kazekage’s strength is related to the One-Tail.
Don’t you feel that his chakra is too much?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face was full of apprehension.
Having a lot of chakra isn’t terrifying.
What’s terrifying is that this person has his intellect online, has a good master’s inheritance, and his own talent is super strong.
And Yun Qing possessed all these necessary conditions.
This made Hiruzen Sarutobi have no choice but to be apprehensive.
Their own Nine-Tails was equivalent to a nuclear weapon and couldn’t be deployed.
The other side’s Tailed Beast could be used as a nuclear weapon and also as a submachine gun.
How could this make him feel at ease.
“Hey, old man, then why haven’t we left Amegakure yet?
The Kumogakure ninjas have been eyeing us covetously from the side.
There’s nothing to be nostalgic about here.”
Tsunade looked resentfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
She didn’t want to stay in this sad place for another moment.
Joining hands with the three of them, they still lost in terms of aura.
This was truly embarrassing.
“Don’t you want to truly fight a Kage-level once?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi said bewitchingly.
Silence.
As soon as his words fell, the entire room fell silent.
Didn’t they want to?
How could they not.
Relying solely on teaching and training, it is forever impossible to become a Kage-level.
Without fighting across levels, without a heart striving upwards, how can one become a Kage-level.
Casually training a bit, casually getting sad once, and then unlocking a Dojutsu, and becoming a Kage-level, or having a sudden burst of chakra to become a Kage-level.
That is impossible.
In the original story, the reason the Sannin could awe the ninja world was because they fought their way up.
Through two Shinobi World Wars, they fought for it with their strength.
No one knew how many experts the three of them had fought and engaged in life-and-death struggles with during the wars.
The battle that made the three famous was when they were at the quasi-Kage level, slaughtering and fighting to a draw with Hanzo, an absolute expert among Kage levels.
“Stop joking, old man.
Fighting you, Danzo, or Lord Kagami, you won’t strike to kill.
As for the others, unless it’s an absolute last resort, you won’t let us fight them.”
After a long while, Tsunade let out a bitter smile.
Is there really no chance to fight a Kage-level?
There is.
Inside Konoha village alone, there are several Kage levels.
On the Sunagakure battlefield, Bunpuku and Sunasuke were both Kage levels.
But until now, they still hadn’t had a real life-and-death struggle with a Kage-level.
The ones from Konoha village wouldn’t truly hurt them, it was impossible to strike to kill, considering the identities of the three.
The ones from Sunagakure?
As soon as Bunpuku and Sunasuke appeared, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Sakumo went up against them.
The three of them mostly just assisted.
Any frontal battlefield encounters were entirely taken over.
“Ha, would I still deceive you?
Just wait, there will be a chance.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, walked to the window, looked at Yun Qing sitting by the street opposite, and said with a smile.
With a swish, Sakumo Hatake, carrying water stains, appeared in the room.
“Lord Hokage, it has been confirmed that Sunasuke from Sunagakure has left.
At the same time, news came from inside Konoha village that the sandstorm at the border has disappeared.
According to intelligence, the One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku has already returned to Sunagakure.”
Sakumo Hatake said respectfully.
“See, isn’t this the opportunity?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade’s trio with a half-smile.
Tsunade and the other two clenched their fists, looking excitedly and fearfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
