But Shimizu's performance was even better than those people.
"Regarding this negotiation plan, although our sphere of influence hasn't expanded much, we've only gained the Land of Gold. However, the Land of Gold has a developed commerce and a thriving gambling industry, which can bring considerable revenue and mission quotas."
"This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞"
"Rain Village can also obtain half of the mission quota from the Land of Woods. Hanzō will definitely agree. However, Rain Village currently lacks manpower. Just maintaining the missions in the Land of Rain is difficult. If they don't want to give up, they can only continue to cooperate with us."
"Then there's the sealing techniques. Although they are only relatively basic sealing techniques, there are also relatively advanced ones like the Evil Sealing Method and the Three-Way Sealing, which are enough to complete the village's sealing technique system. Elder Chiyo, I'd like you to lead the sealing team to thoroughly understand these sealing techniques and try to develop a set of sealing techniques that can truly and stably suppress the tailed beasts."
The Third Kazekage sat behind his desk, processing the benefits of the negotiation.
"I understand."
Chiyo nodded slightly in response.
Obtaining these sealing techniques was already close to the limit of what could be negotiated.
More advanced techniques like the Four Symbols Sealing and the Five Elements Sealing are powerful seals capable of sealing tailed beasts.
Even in Konoha, only core personnel can access these things.
Unless we can invade Konoha, As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't an idiot, he won't hand over such things. That would mean that Suna would soon be able to cultivate a Jinchuriki who can stably control the power of a tailed beast.
Shimizu was also very satisfied with this.
This result was entirely facilitated by him.
These sealing techniques are the result of the Uzumaki clan's research for over a thousand years. Even if it's just the more basic part, it's already a very complete system, enough to greatly improve his sealing technique level.
These can fully support him and Sasori in developing more complex and stable processors and sealed-formula logic control units, and even further.
"And that ore order worth two billion Ryō from Konoha... Tsk, you really understand them, Shimizu. Those guys in Konoha are just obsessed with saving face. They agreed when we changed the name of war reparations. With this money and these mission orders, plus the continuous income from the canal, we can now relax our policies and train more ninjas. We can also have more resources to cultivate elites."
"In the next ten years, it would be best to increase the total number of ninjas and the number of Jōnin by half. That way, in the next Shinobi World War, we will have the ability to replace Konoha and become the new overlord of the ninja world!"
The Third Kazekage clenched his fists with some excitement.
From the moment he took over the position of Kazekage, he abandoned his past name and regarded the title of Third Kazekage as his everything, meaning that he would dedicate all his remaining energy to strengthening Sunagakure.
If Sunagakure could ascend to the position of overlord of the ninja world under his leadership, that would undoubtedly be an affirmation of his life's achievements.
At that time, he would not only be the strongest Kazekage of all time.
As long as Sunagakure still exists, there will definitely be Kazekage in later generations who are stronger than him, but he will definitely be remembered by later generations as one of the greatest Kazekage of all time.
"It's really a bit unexpected that Konoha would agree so readily this time. To be honest, I originally had a lot of doubts about this information, and even regarded it as a joke, but now it seems that it may be true, because that means that if Konoha starts a war at this stage, it will almost certainly lose."
Ebizō looked at the terms of the negotiation again and said in a deep voice.
"What information?"
"Abandoning the continuation of the mission? Are you referring to the mission that Konoha planned to have Sakumo Hatake assassinate me and other high-level members of the village? In the whole year of last year, Sakumo Hatake only had this one mission failure record."
The Third Kazekage asked curiously.
"Probably so."
Ebizō replied with a strange look.
"Then this is mostly a political struggle by Konoha's high-level officials against Sakumo Hatake. We all know that it was a trap. If Sakumo Hatake jumped into it, it would mean the annihilation of the entire army, so his choice to rescue his teammates and preserve his strength at that time was correct."
Chiyo pondered.
"Political struggles don't need to be reasonable, they just need an excuse. For Konoha's high-level officials, Sakumo Hatake's knife is sharp enough, but it's also too hard and difficult to control, so they chose to suppress Sakumo Hatake in this way.
After this incident, Sakumo Hatake should have also seen that unless the current group of Konoha's high-level officials and the Senju faction formed by the Sannin are severely damaged, he will have no chance to become the Fourth Hokage in his life.
In this case, if a war breaks out, Konoha's high-level officials will definitely not dare to use him."
The Third Kazekage sipped his tea leisurely and said.
"Konoha is no longer a question of whether they dare to use Sakumo Hatake, but that they have no one to use."
Mistake free, first released, content in one look!
Ebizō shook his head.
"According to the report from the spy, Sakumo Hatake has not appeared for a long time. Even his son, Kakashi Hatake, has applied for early graduation from the Ninja Academy, and he has not been seen."
"Did Konoha's high-level officials imprison Sakumo Hatake? It's impossible that they killed him, right?"
Chiyo asked in surprise.
"It's even more bizarre than that, because whether Sakumo Hatake is killed or imprisoned, his old subordinates will be suppressed, but the fact is that Hiruzen Sarutobi has appeased his old subordinates and even agreed to the early graduation application of Sakumo Hatake's son, Kakashi Hatake."
"Plus the sudden calming of public opinion, and various clues, the spy analyzed that Sakumo Hatake is very likely to have chosen suicide as a silent resistance."
Ebizō also picked up a cup of tea and said lightly.
"Ebizō, are you sure?"
Chiyo asked in disbelief.
"I have collected information from all parties for analysis and corroboration, and there is more than a 70% probability that it is correct. With Sakumo Hatake's unyielding personality, which is even harder than his knife, he may really do such a thing."
Chiyo was speechless for a moment.
She had always been thinking about taking revenge herself, cutting off Sakumo Hatake's head to avenge her son and daughter-in-law.
If she couldn't do it herself, she would train Sasori to do these things.
But she didn't expect that things would be so unpredictable that she might not even have the chance to take revenge.
Shimizu also took a cup of tea.
He knew that according to the original trajectory, this was true.
