“If we were to implement your plan, then the people we send into the Land of Fire would definitely be doing more than just small-scale operations.
At the same time, because the ninja of Konoha are now almost all concentrated on the eastern side, their defenses will be even denser. Ordinary elite squads definitely won't have enough infiltration capability, and the danger will be even greater than last time.
Once discovered, they must have a sufficiently powerful ninja leading them to break through, and the front line battlefield must also put pressure on Konoha to prevent their main force from acting rashly. This isn't a mission that ordinary Jonin can execute.”
Chiyo clasped her hands together, and said after pondering.
She was considering whether there were suitable candidates, and weighing whether the benefits and risks of the mission were a good match.
This plan has a certain degree of feasibility, but the danger is too high. Not to mention ordinary Jonin squads, even sending elite Jonin would risk being killed in an encirclement by a certain number of Konoha experts.
After all, this time is not like the mission that Shimizu and others carried out in the past, when Konoha's large-scale troops were all tied up on the battlefield, fighting a major battle with Sunagakure, creating a vacuum in the rear.
Moreover, the squad at that time also had the elite Jonin Ishito and Kurokawa, whose strength was also not weak, and they had relatively accurate intelligence to ensure success.
After thinking for a while, Chiyo glanced at the people in the room, and finally shook her head.
“Among those present who are capable of carrying out this mission in a relatively safe situation, apart from this old woman, there are only Rasa and Karura. But now Danzo and Jiraiya are on the battlefield in the Land of Rain. If either of them is missing, and Konoha launches a counterattack, then it will cost even more to stop those two.”
At this point in time, Jiraiya had not yet reached his peak, but he should not be underestimated. Rasa and Karura together could only barely suppress him.
Shimura Danzo was not yet old, and his arm and eyes were not injured. He was not as crippled as he would be in the future, needing Hashirama cells and Sharingan to exert his peak strength.
Therefore, after the meeting, Chiyo explained the details to Shimizu in detail.
In her opinion, even if Shimizu could not become Kazekage in the future, he would be the leader of the puppet squad, one of the high-level members of Sunagakure. Sooner or later, he would sit in one place and command the war, just like she does now. She also began to cultivate him in this regard.
“Chiyo-sensei is right, but I was wondering, why do we have to send our people to do this?”
Shimizu asked Chiyo in return.
“You want the Iwagakure people to do this? But they can't spare anyone either. Hanzo's strength is too strong. Just one Five-Tailed Jinchuriki is not enough. He also needs Hakuto's assistance. That old man Onoki is even less likely to do it.”
Similar to Sunagakure, Iwagakure is now also fighting on two fronts, fighting Kirigakure on the coastline. They have been fighting for several years, and even their respective Second Kage died together in the early stages of the war.
The other side is, of course, the Land of Rain.
The Third Tsuchikage Onoki is still leading the Iwagakure ninja to fight Kirigakure, and it is impossible for him to be idle enough to cross half the ninja world and go to the Land of Fire.
“No, Chiyo-sensei, I don't know if you have heard of a bounty hunter named Kakuzu?”
Shimizu said to Chiyo.
“Kakuzu? That Takigakure rogue ninja known as the strongest bounty ninja?”
Chiyo examined him.
Kakuzu's reputation is very loud in the underground world. It is said that he even has the ability to escape from the hands of the First Hokage. More importantly, although the fees are expensive, he is strong and reliable when given enough money. During the Ninja World War, he would occasionally take on some war mercenary missions.
“With the village's intelligence network and remaining financial resources, we should be able to hire Kakuzu, right? If that doesn't work, we can also ask Senior Rasa to dig up some gold mines to subsidize it. I think he would be very happy to do so.”
Sunagakure is one of the five major ninja villages after all, so of course it has channels in the underground world.
“There's no need to ask Rasa to dig gold mines to subsidize it. We have benefited a lot from this war, and we can still afford this sum of money. I just don't know what method you want to use to test Konoha?”
“Chiyo-sensei, don't forget someone who has hemophobia. With that person's status, they should be worth tens of millions of Ryo, right? If Kakuzu knows that the target is just someone with hemophobia, then what do you say…”
“Hmm…”
Chiyo picked up a cup of tea and nodded.
“Seeing you being so insidious, this old woman is a little relieved.”
Shimizu: ??
“As for Kakuzu, this old woman will send someone to contact the underground black market. As for you, you must also be careful recently. Your name has also appeared on the bounty list of the underground black market. It should have been done by the people of Konoha. Maybe Danzo will personally send someone to assassinate you.”
No mistake one first one hair one inside one content one in one see!
Chiyo took a sip of tea and said to Shimizu.
“Ah? A bounty on me?”
Shimizu touched his head.
“This is a very normal thing. The Kage of the five major ninja villages, as well as some Jonin, including this old woman, have all been on the bounty list of the underground black market, and they have never been removed. As your strength, fame, and status rise, such things become more common.”
“I can understand that.”
After all, even an elite Jonin of Konoha like Asuma Sarutobi, the Third Hokage's own son, can be on the bounty list of the underground black market, which shows that these black markets are not afraid of Konoha or the five major ninja villages at all.
Those who are not afraid of the five super ninja villages must be another super ninja village.
The underground world is complex and intertwined, and it must also involve the five largest forces in the ninja world.
“I want to know, my head… how much is it worth?”
Chiyo pulled out a bounty from the drawer.
“Eleven million four hundred and fifty thousand Ryo, tsk, not bad, barely meets my price range.”
Asuma Sarutobi, as an elite Jonin of Konoha and the son of the Third Hokage, is worth 35 million Ryo, among which the identity of the Hokage's son must have added a lot of premium.
