Crossing the borders of small countries, the small countries will not agree, and there is a newly-rising Tiannokuni Otogakure Village on the way.
Iwagakure Onoki became more conservative as he got older, and he was less likely to move until he found a suitable successor.
Sunagakure is even further away from Kumogakure.
Kumogakure doesn't have to think about Sunagakure's problem at all.
As long as other countries don't react for a while, Kumogakure can march straight in.
It is even possible to occupy the Kingdom of Water.
In the previous life, Kumogakure had no idea of attacking Kirigakure. This was due to two reasons. At this point in time, Yagura's death was a top secret. No one went to investigate.
When the news came out later, Akatsuki had already begun activities, and Yukito was caught early.
Naturally, Kumogakure did not dare to move, but now, Yukito was still there, the Eight-Tailed Kirabi was at his peak, and the Fourth Raikage Ai was also at his peak.
It would be difficult for Kirigakure to resist a Kirigakure who didn't even have a tailed beast.
Natsuki scratched his head, but he didn't expect that his plan would actually push Kirigakure into the fire pit.
But according to Yunyin's temperament, Yunyin would definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I just don’t know whether Yunyin will send elite troops to break in or invade on a large scale.
I don’t know when Yunyin will take action.
A bit passive.
If Kumogakure marches straight in and occupies part of the territory of the Kingdom of Water, other countries will definitely not be able to sit still.
Especially for Iwagakure, it was difficult for Iwagakure to get past Kumogakure when he started fighting.
Maybe Iwagakure would wait and see, but after Kumogakure took advantage, Iwagakure couldn't sit still.
The hatred between Iwagakure and Kumogakure can only be described as a blood feud.
Iwagakure will definitely not sit back and watch Kumogakure grow.
Even if he takes a detour or forms an alliance, Iwagakure will definitely go to the battlefield of Water Kingdom, or directly steal Kumogakure's hometown.
This could easily trigger the Fourth Ninja War in advance.
After all, if Kumogakure is allowed to digest Kirigakure, Kumogakure will become stronger than ever, which is something other countries don't want to see at all.
Obito was not happy to get over this chaotic situation.
The most useful place for a Jinchūriki is on the battlefield.
Isn't it simple to use Obito's ability to deceive people and capture them on the battlefield?
The more Xia Mu thought about it, he felt that these possibilities existed objectively.
No, everything will be out of control.
Passivity must be turned into initiative.
It was definitely impossible for him to become as close to Konoha as a family immediately.
So instead of gambling, the news of Yagura's death should be kept secret.
He simply sold the news that the fourth Mizukage Mikura was dead to Kumogakure.
Kumogakure will definitely not be able to sit still.
Natsuki can first cooperate with Kumogakure to induce Kumogakure to attack Kirigakure.
Then wait for an opportunity to set up an ambush, inflict heavy damage on Kumogakure, and at least let them calm down for a while.
If Kumogakure has no idea of attacking Kirigakure, that would be better. At worst, Natsuki will become a clown.
Natsuki is now following the example of Akatsuki during the Yahiko period and working hard for peace in the shinobi world.
Although the power and time are limited.
It would be best not to start a fight in the next few years.
Xia Mu deduced it several times in his mind, and finally calculated it.
First, he wrote a letter to Orochimaru, asking him to tell Yakushi Kabuto that after coming to Konoha, he would challenge the Third Generation in front of all forces, and Uchiha would support him.
Let Kumogakure's spies know that Uchiha and Konoha Village are on the same level. Konoha Village's troops will definitely be held back.
In addition, he wrote a letter to the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, vaguely mentioning that if the situation is not good, Uchiha can accept employment to intervene in any battlefield.
It doesn't matter if Terumi Mei can understand this, as long as the meaning is expressed.
After finishing everything, Xia Mu thought about it over and over before he breathed a sigh of relief and let the matter go.
…
Chapter 172 Call me sister
Uchiha clan land
Seeing that Uchiha Natsuki looked like he was not short of money, Shizune directly reported many high-end medical equipment to Qiming.
When Xia Mu saw these things, he signed them directly.
Xia Mu was prepared for the expensive medical supplies, but spending 400 million in the blink of an eye left Xia Mu a little stunned.
As far as Shizune is concerned, these are basic medical equipment for treating injuries and illnesses.
If you want to reach the scientific research level, the number must be multiplied by at least ten.
Natsuki finally understood why Orochimaru was burning so much money.
You must know that Orochimaru has always been in the top three in terms of the number of tasks he completed in Konoha, usually in second place, second only to Jiraiya.
If Orochimaru hadn't left home later, he would have been able to complete more tasks.
Orochimaru, who has done more than a hundred S-level tasks, has always been short of money. You can imagine how expensive scientific research is.
Fortunately, both Uchiha's snack street and Tan Nokuni's chain stores are constantly creating profits for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's research can be continued.
…
It was rare for Naruto to eat in the clan today.
Natsuki was going to introduce the two little ones to Tsunade.
So I specially gathered everyone together during the meal.
When Natsuki took Naruto over, Tsunade hadn't arrived yet.
After Naruto found out that Fugaku was blind, he cried hard.
In the past few years, Fugaku's teachings to him were all vivid in his mind. Unexpectedly, when he was attacked, Uncle Fugaku also fought with Obito.
"Uncle Fugaku, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
Naruto now has a deep hatred for Obito. For him, Obito killed his parents and launched the Nine-Tails Rebellion that also killed so many villagers.
He had spent his childhood in darkness, and now he had blinded Uncle Fugaku.
With so many people close to him being hurt by Obito, Naruto would definitely not let him go.
Fugaku closed his eyes and smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, Naruto, you have to work hard from now on, Obito is not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, Uncle Fugaku, I will definitely work hard."
Sasuke saw his father praising Naruto nearby and couldn't help but said: "Obito is my target. I will avenge my father. You are not needed."
"Even if Uncle Fugaku is not injured, I will still look for Obito..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xia Mu grabbed their ears with one hand on his left and right: "It's almost time to eat, what are you arguing about? Do you really think Obito is a cabbage?"
"You two together are not enough for someone to hit you with one hand. You are so brazen."
Sasuke and Naruto covered their heads: "It hurts, it hurts...Master/Senior, let go..."
"Are you still arguing?" Xia Mu asked angrily.
"No more fighting... no more fighting..."
Just then Tsunade walked in.
"Tsunade-sama is here, please sit down."
Natsuki quickly asked Tsunade to sit down, and then introduced her: "Tsunade-sama, this is Sasuke, and this is Naruto."
Tsunade looked at Naruto, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she came back to her senses.
"Are you Naruto? Yes, yes."
I don’t know what Tsunade meant by that.
"Naruto, this is Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas, your name is..." Natsuki rolled his eyes.
"Just call me sister..."
Naruto was a little dumbfounded. He didn't know the approximate age of the Sannin, but he was definitely older than Uncle Fugaku.
But looking at Tsunade-sama, she is obviously much younger than Uncle Fugaku.
Naruto's emotional intelligence is not lacking now, and Natsuki also asked him to call him sister.
Naruto immediately shouted with full energy: "Tsunade-sister."
Sasuke next to him glared at Naruto and saluted Tsunade in a polite manner: "Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade waved to Sasuke, but kept her eyes on Naruto.
It looks like...it really looks like...
Tsunade couldn't help but pull up a soft smile.
"Cough...cough..."
Tsunade put away her smile and coughed: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't call me sister, but I like to hear it, so you can call me sister like that from now on."
Natsuki kicked Naruto under the table, and Naruto immediately said happily: "Thank you, Sister Tsunade."
Tsunade's face suddenly lit up with joy.
Fugaku and Mikoto knew the reason, and Mikoto even looked at Natsuki angrily.
This Xia Mu really comes up all the time.
Itachi and Sasuke were not very clear about the reason, and neither of them spoke. However, Itachi's expression was calm, while Sasuke's expression was strange.
Xia Mu greeted: "Don't be stunned, we will meet often in the future, let's eat."
Natsuki didn't have any rules when it came to eating, eating and drinking happily, and Tsunade wasn't someone who paid much attention to etiquette.
And the food made by Xia Mu's chef is really delicious.
Natsuki said to Tsunade while eating: "The Third Generation has put Danzo in prison, and there will be a trial in the near future."
As he spoke, he put a piece of braised pork into Naruto's bowl.
Tsunade nodded upon hearing this, her resentment towards the Third Hokage finally diminishing.
"Let's eat, let's not talk about that." Tsunade smiled while picking up food for Naruto.
"Come on, Naruto, eat this."
Tsunade picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into Naruto's bowl.
Naruto respects food very much. Natsuki brought it to him and Naruto started cooking it directly.
At this time, Tsunade brought another chicken leg over, and Naruto quickly stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was bulging, and he was very happy to eat.
"Sister...um...you eat too..."
Tsunade's face softened when she heard Naruto's name.
In all these years, Naruto has rarely had the opportunity to eat with so many people.
At most, he would only eat out with a few classmates from school or Sasuke.
He rarely felt this kind of family dinner atmosphere.
Especially Natsuki and Tsunade took turns picking up food for him.
This was the first time in Naruto's life that he had been treated like this.
