Chapter 239: They Are All Our Own
Due to the lack of Uchiha Madara’s guidance and education, Obito’s overall understanding of the ninja world is still very shallow.

But as luck would have it, he had an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of the things happening around Orochimaru, or more precisely, around Rinpoli!
There’s nothing he can do about it. That face always grabs all his attention whenever it appears.

Today’s Obito doesn’t know about the rise of Akatsuki, the war situation in the ninja world, and knows very little about the grievances and entanglements between the five major villages. He doesn’t even know a lot of basic intelligence that is not even considered entry-level from the intelligence departments of each village.

But he alone knew the whereabouts of the one that all the village intelligence agencies were looking for; he saw that Orochimaru and the village were not on good terms; he could even accurately distinguish which ninjas on the western front of Konoha were Orochimaru’s absolute loyalists, which ones were neutral, and which ones were more inclined to the village’s top leaders.

Obito knew all of this top-secret information, which was extremely valuable in the eyes of outside villages and even in the eyes of Konoha’s Anbu.

So when Konoha released the news, he realized faster than anyone else in the ninja world: Konoha was lying and shifting the blame!

Perhaps even Shiba Kiyokawa himself had never thought that the clone he inadvertently created to protect Orochimaru would play such a huge role in the changes in the world line!
At this time, Obito has begun to question everything in the past because he has witnessed too much darkness!
“A warm village? It means fighting? The Will of Fire is protecting everyone? Haha! It’s fake! It’s all fake!! How stupid I was to dream of becoming a Hokage in the past!”

Under the influence of extreme paranoia, even Minato Namikaze’s careful guidance and education in the past are now covered with a layer of hypocrisy in Obito’s memories!

This young man, who had regarded becoming Hokage as his lifelong pursuit for more than a decade, finally embarked on a path of hating everything and wanting to destroy the village!
As for Shiba Kiyokawa, one of the instigators of all this, when he heard Konoha’s external statement, he just smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

In front of him, the new Kazekage of the Sand Village, who was highly expected by Konoha to fight the Akatsuki organization for the tailed beasts, was kneeling on a cushion, humbly asking him for advice on how to manage a town.

When talking about Konoha’s countermeasures, Ye Cang asked: “Do you need me to prevaricate Konoha?”

Shiba Qinghe smiled and refused: “No, it’s not necessary, you can agree to anything.”

“what?”

“If Konoha asks you to join forces to deal with the Rain Country in subsequent negotiations, you can agree to all of them, and then take the opportunity to ask them to give corresponding compensation and concessions.

After you get the money and supplies, there is no need to delay. You can build a road in the desert from Loulan to the Sand Village. If there is still energy left, build another road to the seaport.

If Konoha asks, just say you are preparing for the summer offensive.”

Only then did Ye Cang understand the cunning of Shiba Qinghe!
This is clearly Hua Muye’s money being used to enrich themselves!

With the high mobility of ninjas, they do not rely on roads at all in open terrains such as deserts and grasslands.

The ones who really rely on roads are the caravans!
Now the Daimyo of Wind Country has been killed, and the new Daimyo is a wimp carefully selected by them. Even when he meets the Queen of Loulan, he will be suppressed and sweat repeatedly. There is no way he can stop the Akatsuki organization from dumping a large number of Loulan’s industrial products into the territory of Wind Country in the future!

The food from the Ghost Kingdom, the water from the Rain Kingdom, and the industrial products from Loulan are destined to flow freely in the Wind Kingdom in the future!
Currently, the only thing that still restricts Akatsuki from colonizing the Wind Country is the poor infrastructure construction within the Wind Country.

Unlike Iwagakure, the ninjas in Sand Village are not good at earth escape techniques and have no special skills in the field of dust removal.

If we don’t rely on the power of ninjas, it will require a lot of investment. Although Akatsuki currently has a high income, there are many areas that need to be built, and the Wind Kingdom cannot be included in the list for the time being.

So Shiba Kiyokawa thought of the omnipotent Konoha Village!

Since in the original work, Konoha can be the source of all problems, big or small, in the Chunin world, then it is reasonable for him and Sunagakure to “turn to” Konoha for help now, isn’t it?
There is a similar record of this in the original novel. In the original novel, after the battle of Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure negotiated with Konoha. At that time, they promised to fight against Kumogakure together, and almost all the compensation for the defeat was waived. Even the subsequent operations in the original novel were closed by Iwagakure: Ohnoki stood Konoha up.

Since Iwagakure also did this, Shiba Kiyokawa will naturally not show mercy when it comes to cheating people.

Not to mention that this time it was Konoha who took the initiative to bring the opportunity to them!

“From now on, Konoha will publicly admit anything that Akatsuki has done. If necessary, I will take the initiative to stimulate Konoha. You can take this opportunity to use the condition of jointly attacking the Rain Country to try to gain benefits for the Sand Village and make up for the disadvantages brought about by the defeat.”

At this time, Ye Cang couldn’t help but once again feel the gap between himself and Shiba Qinghe in wisdom and moral integrity.

If the Ninja World War had been fought like this earlier, some villages would have become history long ago.

Then Shiba Qinghe also reminded: “Also, if my guess is correct, after Konoha does this, the next person to negotiate with you will most likely not be Orochimaru. You don’t have to be gentle. The more powerful the better. They probably need this merit more than you do.”

Ye Cang was still a little worried and said, “We are too strong. What if Konoha restarts the war?”

Although Ye Cang completely controlled the Sand Village with the help of this battle and completely eliminated all obstacles, the losses of Sand Village were real, and they had almost lost their ability to fight.

Shiba Qinghe smiled, “Why don’t you think about who Konoha will arrange to be the commander if the war is restarted? And if you are not strong, how can they believe that you are still capable of helping them deal with the Akatsuki organization?”

Ye Cang suddenly realized.

At this moment, she once again felt that the referee, opponent, venue, and even off-field factors were all related to her own game. It was really cool!

Not long after, just as Comrade Qinghe expected: Konoha changed the negotiators.

Danzo was “appointed to take on the task at a critical moment” and sat at both ends of the negotiation table on behalf of Konoha and Ye Cang.

Seeing Ye Cang sit down and casually take off the Kazekage hat placed in front of him, Danzo’s eyes revealed naked jealousy.

Today’s Ye Cang is no longer the acting Kazekage!

She has become the legitimate Fifth Kazekage, and the one who holds all the power!

“Humph!”

The negotiations began, and Danzo tried to oppress the other party by adopting a superior attitude.

However, after just a few rounds, Danzo felt tremendous frustration and resistance!
Why is this happening? Didn’t the intelligence say that the Sand Village had been seriously injured in the battle at Mount Kikyo? At that moment, Danzo’s perfect self-confidence suddenly cracked.

Things didn’t seem to develop as he expected…
