Chapter 171：

But he could only defend himself while wiping the blood: "My lord, forgive me, we are supplementing and improving it according to the secret recipe passed down from Konoha."

"The taste of the prepared food will definitely not be as good as the original, but the business of our catering shops in the Country of Fire is pretty good!"

"Not bad for your size!"

The daimyo was furious: "You know nothing! We have spent so much publicity and so much manpower and material resources."

"With this level of profit now, it's all a loss, you know?"

"Now in the Land of Land, people are laughing at us in the Land of Fire. They don't even look the same. In the Land of Fire, except for Konoha Uchiha, all other places to eat are fakes!"

At the daimyo's banquet, many envoys from other countries came to discuss trade issues.

As a result, the delicacies that the Fire Country Daimyo brought out confidently were criticized as worthless by the Thunder Country.

Although the other small countries did not say anything, their disdain for the food served to them by the Fire Nation could be seen in their eyes.

It's not even half as good as the Kingdom of Tian.

Do these unpalatable things not take us seriously? Is it intentional to humiliate us?

As a result, a bunch of envoys observed and discovered that these things from the Fire Country were all plagiarized.

And the taste is not good.

Those who have never tasted Tianzhiguo’s delicacies will naturally find it acceptable.

But for those who have eaten both, the tastes are directly compared.

Their previous feeling of being looked down upon was gone, and all that was left was ridicule of the Fire Nation.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Thunder laughed out loud.

The envoys from the Kingdom of Tian even expressed their confidence that next time they would host a banquet to entertain the envoys, it would definitely be more comfortable than eating here.

Therefore, the good-looking Daimyo of the Fire Country is now furious.

"Is there any way!?"

"I asked you if there is anything you can do!?"

After the daimyo lost his temper, he still thought about how to solve this problem.

How could the Country of Fire, one of the five great kingdoms, be compared to a rural land like the Country of Fields?

The staff member had a sad face: "Sir, Danzo, who helped us before, has defected."

"The Third Hokage had a series of scandals just before. Uchiha is now developing unprecedentedly well. We don't have many ways to force Uchiha to hand over the secret recipes of various cuisines."

"My orders don't work?" the daimyo asked angrily.

The staff quickly explained: "Sir, the Uchiha are now highly autonomous. Even the Third Hokage has absolutely nothing to do with them."

"big eater!"

The Country of Fire is actually rich in products, and because of the existence of Konoha, the country is relatively stable.

The daimyo lacks nothing and lives in a state of intoxication every day.

Whether or not you can make money is secondary now. The most important thing is to earn back your face.

While the daimyo is sulking, let me report below.

"Sir, Orochimaru's men would like to see you."

The daimyo asked in confusion.

"Didn't Orochimaru defect?"

The staff reminded below: "Sir, Orochimaru has now been rehabilitated by the Third Hokage. Those things in the past were all done by Danzo."

"Oh." The daimyo suddenly realized, as if he had said it before, but he had forgotten it.

"What did he send people for?"

"Said he brought what we need most..."

…

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

An ANBU was reporting to the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, there is news from the black market that no one has completed the task of assassinating Kabuto."

"But some of Kabuto's own information has been discovered."

The Third Hokage nodded. After all, he was Orochimaru's subordinate. It would be useless to die so easily.

After the leader of Otoyin Village began to call him a shadow, all the forces began to pay attention to him.

Some forces even directly offered a reward of 100 million for Yinying's head.

As for this bounty, I don’t know whether it is a bounty offered by the daimyo of the Land of Fire or the daimyo of the Land of Thunder.

The shadow bounty of the five major countries is about 300 million. The shadow energy of this small village is worth 100 million, and many people flock to it.

Unfortunately, there were too many people when Otogakure came and he couldn't take action, but when he returned, there were only a few people.

So someone will definitely take action against Kabuto.

Because Kabuto belonged to Orochimaru, the Third Hokage had no intention of killing Kabuto, but he was particularly curious about Kabuto's abilities.

As long as Kabuto fights with people, as long as someone survives, some of Kabuto's information will definitely be sold to the black market.

You can't take heads, but you have to exchange some information for resources, right?

Unfortunately, no one could get Kabuto to take action in the first few days.

Later, Kabuto and other people from Otogakure Village left separately.

Kabuto disappeared directly from everyone's sight.

Many attempts to catch him have failed.

Even if he could find traces of him, Kabuto would be able to detect him far away and avoid him.

Unexpectedly, someone blocked him.

"how much did you spend?"

Sandai had recently withheld some of the 10 million donated by Xiamu, so he was quite wealthy.

There was no way, Danzo had done things poorly before, which resulted in the Third Hokage being severely criticized.

Although the status of the Hokage is not lower than that of the daimyo, the daimyo still cut off some financial assistance to show his dissatisfaction.

The Third Hokage's income has decreased, and even some of the resources provided to the Sarutobi clan have been reduced.

But the Sarutobi clan did not dare to complain at this time, because they all knew that the current Third Hokage was particularly strong.

The ANBU cleaned up the thorns of several families one after another. Those from Shimura, those who moved to another dormitory, and those from Mitomon.

The two consultant elders Koharu and Mito Monen who moved to bed were like quails, not even daring to fart.

Originally, the Shimura clan had always had objections because of Danzo's arrest.

As a result, Danzo suddenly escaped from prison and escaped.

The third generation took this opportunity to severely punish the Shimura family, and directly removed the Shimura clan leader from his position as an honorary elder.

"It cost one million taels."

The Third Hokage frowned.

There is no way, Kabuto has never made a move, and no one knows his current abilities.

The news at this stage is the most valuable. In the future, let alone one million, you can buy it for ten thousand.

"What information?"

"Kabuto will use sage mode."

The Third Hokage's smoking hand stopped.

After a long time, he slowly took a puff of cigarette.

"Okay, I understand, let's get down."

"yes."

In recent years, except for Jiraiya, no one seems to know the sage mode.

The Three Holy Lands, Orochimaru and Ryuchi Cave are related. It seems that the relationship between Kabuto and Orochimaru is not simple.

At least they are masters and disciples, otherwise it would be impossible to introduce the immortal mode of cultivation in the past.

The immortal mode of each holy land is different, but as long as you are in the immortal mode, your entire strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Practicing immortality requires not only a firm will, but also a pure heart and an attitude that is in harmony with nature.

In the history of Konoha, there are only the first Hashirama, Jiraiya, and Minato Kai Sage modes.

These people are all very talented. Jiraiya was not good at it when he was a child, but he improved very quickly when he grew up.

One can imagine Kabuto's talent.

Such a good seedling was actually forced to leave by Danzo!

…

Chapter 212 Negotiation

Uchiha clan land.

"Lord Clan Leader, Sunagakure's people are here."

After waiting for a few days, Sunagakure's people finally arrived.

"Okay, take them to the conference room."

Xia Mu pinched her fingers and finally started to work.

Natsuki walked into the conference room. Two jonins from Sunagakure were accompanied by a man who was covered in a cloak.

The man lifted up his cloak and it was Granny Chiyo.

"I'm really sorry, but I asked you to make a special trip."

After all, Chiyo is getting older, and Natsuki still acts like a junior.

"Hehehe, Clan Chief Xiamu is too polite, I won't be unable to walk."

Natsuki glanced left and right at the two Sunagakure jounin.

Granny Chiyo waved her hand, and the two Sunagakure walked out of the door and closed the door.

Natsuki asked Granny Chiyo to sit down, and went straight to the topic without any nonsense.

"The person who killed the Third Kazekage was your grandson, the Red Sand Scorpion. His body was also made into a puppet by him."

Chiyo raised his head, his face solemn: "Is the news reliable?"

Natsuki nodded: "If it's true, we Uchiha people have fought against him. He has used the puppet of the Third Kazekage. The iron sand secret technique should only be known by the Third Kazekage."

After pondering for a moment, Granny Chiyo asked, "What do you Uchiha want?"

Xia Mu smiled: "I heard that Granny Chiyo developed a secret technique called reincarnation."

Chiyo frowned, this secret technique was actually leaked.

But this secret technique is not so easy to learn.

"Is it just this?" Chiyo didn't believe that a secret technique could bring back the corpse and scorpion of the Third Kazekage.

Xia Mu waved his hand: "This is just a gimmick."

Natsuki did not continue to talk in circles: "Yashamaru came here before and should have brought you the news that we want to form mercenaries."

"The conflict between us Uchiha and Konoha is already irreconcilable, and there is obviously no place for us in Konoha."

After saying that, Xia Mu sighed.

"Actually, I'm not good at using force to achieve my goals. Now that the Uchiha clan has been thriving, I don't want to start a direct war with Konoha, as that will kill quite a few people."

"You should know that we Uchiha need people and money right now. Isn't it better than being bullied in Konoha?"
