On the outskirts of Konoha Village, the underground secret laboratory.

"Hehehe." Orochimaru, who was wearing a lab coat, kept swinging the scalpel in his hand towards the ninja who was tied to the test table, and the ninja was wearing Konoha's forehead protector on his forehead!

"Guru." A ninja who was an experimental assistant looked at the slightly crazy Orochimaru and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, "Dear, Orochimaru-sama, as for experimental products, didn't we get a lot of them from Kirigakure?

, why do you want to attack the ninjas in the village? If this matter is discovered by the Hokage..."

"Discovered?" Orochimaru, whose face was stained with blood, turned his head and glanced at the other person with his golden snake eyes, which shocked him. "Hahaha, it would be great if he discovered it."

Is it?"

After saying that, Orochimaru turned back and continued his experiments, or rather...

'slaughter'.

At this time, all that was echoing in his mind was that the Third Hokage informed him that the candidate for the next Hokage had been decided on Minato Namikaze.

Understand? Haha.

Even if I try so hard, I still can't respond to your expectations, Sarutobi-sensei, no...

The Third Hokage!!!

I will prove to you that I am the best choice!!!

…………

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage held the pipe in his mouth and blew out a puff of purple smoke. This is a special high-grade tobacco that has a certain concentration effect.

"How's it going? Is the matter settled?" the Third Hokage asked Konoha's two advisory elders, Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu.

"Well, it's no problem." Xiaochun replied, "Twenty million taels, in other words, I want to do this kind of business."

"Haha, it's no problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, and then knocked the ashes from his pipe, "If you lose the war and sign a treaty, you can treat it as nothing. How can there be such a good thing?

.”

In the land of wind, the daimyo is located in the castle.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong with you?", the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind asked with concern as he saw his most beloved concubine sighing.

"Ah, sir, you are here. I'm very sorry that I didn't go out to greet you."

"It's okay." The daimyo sat down and asked with a smile, "What happened just now?"

"This...", the concubine hesitated.

"Why, can't you even say Yu?"

"How dare you do this? I just don't want you to worry about it." The concubine paused and then continued, "A few days ago, people came from my hometown. They said that there has been another drought recently and the harvest is not good.

The tax is still very heavy, so I want my wife to help me find a way, but I am just a prostitute, so what can I do, I can only give them some money to make their life better."

"My beloved concubine is really kind-hearted."

"My lord, you have given me the compliment, it's just...it's just..."

"Just what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Please don't mind."

Seeing this, the curious daimyo immediately pretended to be angry and straightened his face, "My beloved concubine, is there something else you are hiding from Yu Bucheng?"

"I don't dare, I'm just worried that I will offend you."

"Haha, don't worry, don't you know who Yu is? Just say it, Yu She, you are not guilty."

"Then, I said it boldly. They told me that the people...' The people are saying that the name of the Kingdom of Wind was deceived by the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village. The battle has ended long ago. He

Still stupidly giving money to Sunagakure Village, the war was obviously started by those ninjas themselves, which did not bring any benefits to the Kingdom of Wind, and made the lives of the citizens more and more difficult. Those Sunagakure people

The ninjas in the village are making fun of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind by calling him the Foolish Daimyo.'."

After the concubine finished speaking, the daimyo's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, but then the concubine suddenly started crying.

"You don't need to take the words of those stupid people to heart, but, wuwuwu." The concubine immediately rushed to the daimyo's legs, holding the corner of his clothes and said sadly, "My lord, this brocade robe is only sixty years old."

Wanliang, I have seen that you have worn it three times and are still reluctant to throw it away. Have you ever had such a hard life before? I really feel worthless for you. Peace has come, and Sunagakure Village is still going on.

I'm asking you for money, how long are you going to keep humiliating yourself?"

"My beloved concubine..." The daimyo stretched out his hand to help the concubine. The robe that he had not thrown away because it was very comfortable suddenly became uncomfortable. Yes, he has worn it three times.

When have I ever been so frugal?

"My lord! I know that good advice is harsh to the ears, but for your lord and for the sake of the Kingdom of Wind, I have to say it!" The concubine broke free from the daimyo's hand and immediately fell to the ground crying, "please, my lord, don't wrong yourself anymore."

!!!"

Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage Office.

"Lord Kazekage, this is a diplomatic document sent from the Daming Mansion."

"Diplomatic document? Leave it to me." Luo Sha took the diplomatic document outlined with gold dust, then opened it and read it.

"Ha!?" Luo Sha looked confused.

…………

Honglei left Yunyin Village alone. He took the secret boat arranged for him by Zong Lin and quietly came to the Kingdom of Water without alerting anyone.

His current identity is relatively sensitive. Not only Shan Yanyin Village wants his life, but even the village elders don't want to see him alive. It's hard to say whether the Third Raikage's head will get hot, so in

In a short period of time, he is not going to appear in the public eye anymore.

But that doesn't mean he plans to do nothing.

He did not come to the Kingdom of Water for tourism this time. After deciding to build his own village, Honglei began to think about various plans, but no matter which plan, the most important thing is talent!

Although several girls have won his trust, their strength is not top-notch, so the first thing Honglei has to do is to find ruthless characters who can participate in the war in the future.

And the first thing that came to his mind was Yakura, the Burning Escaper who died after being betrayed to Kirigakure by Sunagakure Village in the late war!

When Yakura died, his heart was filled with hatred for Sunagakure. If done correctly, Todoroki could easily win her over to his side!

The only problem is how to find Ye Cang's location.

Fortunately, he already has some ideas.
