Naruto: Rebuilding the Land of Whirlpools Starting with the Gotei 13 Chapter 34 34: Sarutobi: The Uzushigakure is my dearest and

How do we see it?

We sit and watch!

The Uchiha Clan Head, the Hyūga Clan Head, and the other Clan Chiefs and Elders remained calm and showed no intention of speaking.

The sudden rise of the Uzushigakure certainly astonished them.

Especially since it had just experienced a nation-destroying event.

Yet, in less than half a month, it suddenly seed like a completely different nation!

From the surprise of defeating the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, to the mockery when the Uzushigakure publicly declared war on the Land of Water, to the current shock of its great victory over the Land of Water, which stunned the entire Ninja World!

This nation is too damn legendary!

And this Uzushigakure was their forr ally?

They never realized the Uzushigakure was so formidable usually!

Did being destroyed once make them realize sothing? Are they no longer keeping a low profile?!

Of course, everyone still harbored doubts about whether this Uzushigakure was the sa Uzushigakure as before.

But since the current power occupying the Uzushigakure claid the identity of the Uzushigakure, everyone treated it as such.

As for how they saw it?

They truly were just sitting and watching.

Konoha was currently in a period of war, and the situation on the Agakure front was headache enough; who had ti to worry about the changes in the Uzushigakure!

Danzo Shimura, however, had different ideas.

After obtaining accurate intelligence on the Uzushigakure earlier, he had long set his sights on the miraculous ninja swords and Unmarked Ninjutsu of the Uzushigakure.

But the Root mbers sent to the Uzushigakure vanished as if a stone had sunk into the ocean, never to be heard from again.

This made him realize that the Uzushigakure was an extrely complicated place.

It also made him even more covetous of the Uzushigakure' power.

After the Uzushigakure overthrew the Land of Water, this greed beca utterly uncontrollable.

He cleared his throat and proposed, "The rise of the Uzushigakure was indeed unexpected, but since they identify themselves as the Uzushigakure, they are Konoha's steadfast allies! To a certain extent, Konoha must provide assistance to its allies!"

His eyes were resolute, and he seed very sincere!

The Uchiha Clan Chief and the others looked surprised.

In Konoha, anyone who could beco the head of a family was a shrewd person, let alone a Clan Chief who could attend Konoha's high-level etings.

They were all too familiar with Danzo Shimura's character.

What's gotten into him now? Has he changed his ways?

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

Danzo...

Did he take the wrong dicine?

Just then, Danzo Shimura continued, "The Uzushigakure just experienced the tragic destruction of its nation, and now it has been re-established, only to engage in a fierce war with the Land of Water!"

"Although they achieved a difficult victory, it's impossible for them to fully control the Land of Water. To prevent rebellion in the Land of Water, Konoha has an obligation to help its ally manage the Land of Water!"

Uchiha and the others: "..."

Good heavens, they knew Danzo Shimura, that old dog, hadn't changed his ways for nothing!

So this is what he was waiting for!

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

It must be said, Danzo Shimura's intentions were extrely sinister!

In the past, there had been conflicts between the various Hidden Villages, but no one had ever been able to bite off a piece of another's territory.

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

It was that the conditions didn't allow for it!

Although Shinobi are highly mobile, they still travel on foot.

Once troops are sent deep into another country, subsequent supplies beco a very big problem.

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

It could be said that the Uzushigakure had now set a precedent in the Ninja World!

Because they successfully occupied a country!

Of course, after seeing the Space-Ti Ninjutsu that allowed for large-scale transfers in the intelligence reports, others were no longer surprised.

If any of them had such a Ninjutsu, they could easily transfer tens of thousands of Shinobi and launch a surprise attack to easily conquer a Hidden Village.

It's easy to imagine how envious the other Hidden Villages were when they saw this Space-Ti Ninjutsu.

But overall, they remained calm.

After all, with the strength the Uzushigakure had revealed, it was no longer sothing they could easily manipulate.

Moreover, the geographical location of the Uzushigakure was not that easy to attack.

Otherwise, during the incident of the Uzushigakure' destruction, Kumogakure would not have cooperated with the Hidden Mist.

And now, Danzo Shimura was actually scheming against the Uzushigakure, wanting to bite off a piece of the Land of Water without sending a single soldier or vehicle, under the guise of helping an ally?

You truly are a good ally!

Everyone looked at Danzo Shimura with strange expressions.

Danzo Shimura didn't care and continued:

"Since it's an alliance, we naturally help each other. Konoha's frontline forces are currently stretched thin, so the Uzushigakure should extend a helping hand and assist Konoha through this difficult period!"

At this mont, Danzo Shimura revealed his true intentions:

"Since the intelligence reports indicate that the Uzushigakure supposedly controls the technique for forging ninja swords with special abilities, why don't they supply us with a batch of such ninja swords."

"Of course..." Danzo Shimura's eyelids drooped as he said in a deep voice, "...it would be even better if they were willing to share the ninja sword forging technique with Konoha for free."

The Uchiha Clan Chief and the others exchanged glances, thinking, Danzo Shimura, your self-proclaid title truly wasn't wrong!

He truly is the darkness of konoha!

Is this helping the Uzushigakure?

Is this seeking support from the Uzushigakure?

This is clearly digging up the roots of the Uzushigakure!

Just imagine, what if Danzo Shimura one day wanted them to hand over their Sharingan, Byakugan, and other Family Bloodline Limits and secret techniques!

Hiss—

How malicious!

"I disagree!"

Tsunade slamd her hand on the table, glaring angrily at Danzo Shimura.

As the newly appointed Head of the dical Departnt, she had also gained the qualification to attend Konoha's high-level etings today.

She just hadn't expected to hear such insidious content!

Are you treating the Uzushigakure as an ally?

That's clearly a scapegoat!

Danzo Shimura closed his eyes and said, "Oh? Does the Head of the dical Departnt have any opinions?"

Tsunade stared at Danzo Shimura and said forcefully, "The Uzushigakure is Konoha's ally, not a scapegoat to sacrifice everything for Konoha!"

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

"You!"

"Enough."

Tsunade wanted to say more, but Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "The Uzushigakure is Konoha's ally; we cannot do things that would put our ally in a difficult position."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's sowhat conscientious remark, Tsunade sat back down.

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "However, the Uzushigakure has just been re-established and is indeed short on manpower. Out of humanitarianism, we can send soone to ask if they need Konoha's assistance."

"Furthermore, Konoha's frontline forces are indeed stretched thin. We can request support from the Uzushigakure in the form of elite Shinobi squads capable of using those ninja swords to alleviate Konoha's pressure."

"Hiruzen-sensei..."

Tsunade looked at him in disbelief, truly unable to imagine such words coming from his mouth!

"Heh, last ti the Uzushigakure asked for help, Konoha ignored its ally. Now that Konoha needs the Uzushigakure, the alliance is suddenly restored?"

Tsunade's eyes were filled with disappointnt as she couldn't help but mock.

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained, "Don't worry, Tsunade, Konoha will not forcefully demand our ally's knowledge and techniques. We only need so support in terms of elite combat power."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "Forget it, I can't stand this eting any longer. I'm done."

With a bang, Tsunade slamd the door and left.

Danzo Shimura chuckled.

Hiruzen, you truly live up to your reputation!

If the Uzushigakure agrees to provide aid, will those Shinobi carrying ninja swords ever return?
