"And we still have Six-Tail Yugao. Although the battle situation is now at a disadvantage, we were just caught off guard."
"Mizukage-sama came to ask for help because he didn't want Kirigakure to suffer too much if the war expanded."
Seeing that the green duck has a tough mouth, Xia Mu chuckled: "Ha..."
Natsuki tapped his fingers on the table and said unhurriedly.
"I know the situation on your Kirigakure side very well. Yu Gao has defected, the Fourth Mizukage is dead, and the three-tailed Isofu is dead."
"As for Terumi Mei, I think she is not a match for the Fourth Raikage now."
"Even if the Fourth Raikage doesn't take action, you can't stop the two jinchūriki at all."
"You don't need to test it. Last time I came to the Kingdom of Water, I know your national conditions very well."
"I believe that in just a few years, Terumi Mei will not be able to completely manage it."
Qing Tong's eyes narrowed heavily, and the hand under the table immediately tightened. Xia Mu had completely blocked all his words.
Sure enough, Uchiha did know the information that the fourth Mizukage was dead.
Terumi Mei told him before he left, and Natsuki probably knew the news.
He even knew about Yu Gao's defection.
Qing did not deny it at this time. Denial at this time had no meaning.
"Natsuki-sama, what price will it cost for you to send troops to rescue Kirigakure?"
Qing has no choice. People are like knives and I am fish and meat. You can only let Uchiha make conditions.
Uchiha is now a major force in the Fire Country. If Uchiha doesn't nod, even Iwagakure can't pass through the Fire Country.
Kirigakure could not avoid Uchiha no matter what.

Chapter 227 The Waterfall of Dawn
Uchiha clan land.
Reception room.
Natsuki looked at Qing with a smile.
"Hey, that's right. It's great to be honest."
"As for me, this person likes doing business the most."
"There is an organization that cooperates with our Uchiha. They specialize in this type of tasks. I can introduce this task to them."
Qing asked a little confused: "What organization? Is it strong?"
Natsuki rubbed his chin: "Every member inside is better than you Mizukage."
Qing subconsciously retorted: "Impossible!"
Natsuki shook his finger: "This ninja world is very big and there are many strong people. Your current Mizukage's strength is just like that."
"Hmm..." Xia Mu paused.
"I promise on my Uchiha's honor that if they intervene in this battle, you will never lose."
Qing was stunned. There was such a powerful organization?
Qing swallowed: "Then what does it cost to treat us?"
"Well, they all have clearly stated prices. There are three ways to intervene in the war."
"The first thing is that they are responsible for sending out people to block all the masters of Kumogakure, the two-tailed Yukito, the eight-tailed Kirabi, and the Raikage Ai who may appear. Until Kumogakure retreats."
"Secondly, no matter how many people come from Kumogakure. Their people are responsible for fighting Kumogakure throughout the entire war until he retreats. The number of people who will ensure that your Kirigakure loses is only one-tenth of Kumogakure's or less."
"Thirdly, on the basis of the second method, not only can they repel Kumogakure, but they can also prevent them from invading again within five years."
"These three types charge 500 million, 2 billion, and 4 billion respectively."
Qing's mouth felt bitter. Now Kirigakure was in chaos and the finances were always in deficit. He gritted his teeth and scraped together 500 million, but there was still no problem.
But the key point is that even if he stopped the two Jinchuuriki and the Fourth Raikage, Kirigakure still couldn't beat them on the frontal battlefield.
This is war, not addition and subtraction. Kumogakure can bear the casualties of some people.
But now Kirigakure has exposed himself as a soft persimmon, and more forces will be targeting Kirigakure in the future.
After too much damage, there will be more coveted eyes.
At least the second type is needed to ensure that Kirigakure can survive in the future.
However, Kirigakure really has no money.
"Master Natsuki, we can't afford so much money."
Qing said this. Natsuki just said that he was aware of Kirigakure's situation.
This means that Kirigakure must know about the fiscal deficit.
Xia Mu nodded matter-of-factly: "I know you don't have money, so I have another way."
"We Uchiha will handle the money for the organization. We Uchiha want this."
As he said this, Xiamu took out a map and spread it out.
Then take out the pen and circle the two small islands on the left side of the Water Kingdom.
"I believe you Kirigakure should choose the second or third option."
"This is the second type."
Then he drew a larger circle, with two small islands next to it, and a total of four small islands were circled in, just like what Natsuki had discussed with Kumogakure before.
"This is the third type."
Ao's face was very ugly: "Master Natsuki, are you asking us Kirigakure to cede our territory?"
Xia Mu smiled and said: "There is no way, I am Dao Zu and you Kirigakure are fish. You can think about it slowly."
"But I don't know how long Kirigakure can last."
Ao's expression changed, and then he calmed down. Indeed, Kirigakure was destroyed and there was nothing left.
"Master Xiamu, I can't make the decision. Can you please ask them to send someone to relieve the pressure first."
Xia Mu narrowed his eyes: "No problem, I will send someone to take full charge of this matter later."
…
Hokage's office.
After Chojuro left, he had time to talk to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, do you have any information?"
The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette.
Orochimaru suddenly stopped this matter, obviously receiving some important information.
"Otongakure Shisui and Itachi, including all other Uchiha, have lost their traces."
The Third Hokage was shocked, not knowing that they had gone to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Water. Still, he was lying in ambush near Konoha.
"I understand, I will be careful. I will monitor the Uchiha clan closely."
The third generation has vaguely guessed that the Hyuga clan may have turned to the Uchiha clan now.
The current situation in Konoha is very unfavorable, and he even has to use the Sarutobi clan's heritage.
A dangerous light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes: "Old man, I have already taken action."
The Third Hokage asked: "Can you tell me what you want to do now?"
Orochimaru smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm just preparing to hand over the secret food recipe that Uchiha relies on for survival to the fire country daimyo."
The Third Hokage was shocked: "What should I do if Natsuki jumps over the wall in a hurry? Uchiha has four Mangekyō Sharingan."
Orochimaru waved his hand casually: "I have mastered the weakness of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Natsuki will only suffer a miserable life."
The third generation was curious: "What is the weakness of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Orochimaru did not answer the Third Hokage's words and walked directly outside: "You will know when the time comes."
The Third Hokage rubbed his brows in annoyance when he saw that Orochimaru was still going his own way.
Alas, I can't control it at all.
…
Chojuro, who was rejected, left the village in frustration.
His personality is not suitable for this, and he has no such experience.
Qing was with him when he came, and Chojuro thought it was Qing who came to handle this matter.
But Ao left the team, leaving only a jounin by his side.
Let the two of them come to see the Third Hokage.
Even what he said to the Third Hokage was taught to him by Qing Jiao.
It has to be said that the Third Hokage is not fierce, and it allowed Chojuro to overcome his character weaknesses.
Said everything I wanted to say.
But it's a pity.
The Third Hokage was unmoved and just said that it needed to be discussed again.
Chojuro had no choice but to leave Konoha and go to the place he had agreed with Ao before.
After walking to the place, I found a man wearing a black fire cloud suit standing next to Qing.
Wearing a bamboo hat on her head, and a ring with the word "empty" written on it in her hand.
"Everyone is here, let's go."
The man didn't want to waste a minute. After Chojuro and the two arrived, they headed directly towards the Kingdom of Water.
Ao asked Chojuro to follow him, "What did the Third Hokage say?"
Chojuro shook his head in frustration: "The Third Hokage just said we would discuss it later."
Chojuro of the Sei faction went there mainly just to go through the motions. In fact, he already knew the final answer.
Fortunately, Uchiha agreed to assist, but Qing was a little unsure about the strength of this organization.
"Master Feiwa, are you the only one from your organization to go there?"
Xia Mu, who went by the pseudonym Fei Bao, laughed and answered in a completely different voice than before.
"How is that possible? I have already contacted my companions. Those who are closer will be able to arrive at the battlefield tomorrow at most."
Qingxin was shocked. It was a coincidence that she was on the battlefield, or she had expected all this.
Qing asked cautiously: "What is your relationship with the Uchiha clan?"
Xia Mu's current image is that of a tall, strong old man with a gray beard, who looks to be at least sixty years old.
His voice was low, and there was a bit of a buzzing sound beneath Akatsuki's uniform.
"That's not what you should be asking about."
In the end, Xia Mu comforted Qing in order to put her mind at ease.
"Don't worry, since we have taken over your mission, we will do our best to complete it."
"After all, our organization only collects money after completing the work, so you don't have to worry about credibility at all."
Natsuki talked nonsense as if he was really a member of the organization.
"Then what is the name of your organization?"
"The name of our organization is Xiao."
