Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 151

The military strength of the Hidden Mist Village was clear, and even their purpose for gathering in Konoha this time had been ascertained.

“Lord First Hokage, is there no possibility of peace talks?”

In a conference room in the capital of the Land of Tea, it was filled with city managers and all high-ranking officials of the Land of Tea.

The one speaking was a talent in management discovered by Lu Lin in the Land of Tea, and also the manager of City No. 4.

Unfortunately, even though his management ability was strong, he was slightly weaker in external warfare. Lu Lin had always wanted to increase the reputation of the Land of Tea in the ninja world, hoping that the citizens of the Land of Tea would have confidence in their own country.

Like the Land of Fire, no matter who Konoha went to war with, they would confidently believe that the final victor would always be them.

In contrast, the people of the Land of Tea were already thinking about whether they could have peace talks before the war even began. If it really came to war, their morale would already be slightly inferior to the enemy’s.

However, Lu Lin also understood this manager, after all, the other party himself didn’t have much strength, and being able to sit in the manager’s position was entirely due to his management ability.

“There’s no need for peace talks, and the enemy has no possibility of peace talks either. After all, our Land of Tea’s policy is to fundamentally uproot the Daimyō and nobles of various countries. To have peace talks, we would have to restore the time when the Daimyō and nobles controlled the state power.”

To let a group of people with no strength, who only knew how to eat, drink, play, and exploit commoners, become the government, this country might as well fall apart.

That is to say, everyone in the ninja world has been educated this way since childhood. Otherwise, if you have the power to overturn the sky, would you care about someone you can crush with one hand pointing fingers at you?

Lu Lin’s answer also made the manager’s face turn pale. Looking at the other party’s reaction, Lu Lin no longer held out hope for him.

Even if you are afraid, at this point, even if you think about perishing with the enemy, Lu Lin would still think highly of him. Unfortunately, after this war, it will be necessary to carefully check the managers of various cities and the high-ranking officials of the Land of Tea.

Just in time, a new batch of personnel can also take up their posts. Some of the current people should step down for now.

The manager of City No. 4, sitting on the chair, still didn’t know that he would soon be stripped of his position by Lu Lin. He was currently worried about the future and terrified of the impending siege by the Five Great Nations’ allied forces.

“Are there any countermeasures?”

Kakuzu said in a deep voice. With the current military strength of the Land of Tea, it would be tough to confront the forces of the Five Great Ninja Villages head-on, even if they hadn’t sent out their main forces.

The most important thing was that in this battle, the Akatsuki led by Yahiko and Hanzo’s Hidden Rain Village could not appear on the battlefield.

The geographical location of the Land of Rain, if it simultaneously offended the Five Great Ninja Villages, might be silently erased from the map by the forces of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Even with Lu Lin, he couldn’t always stay in the Land of Rain, could he?

Yahiko and the two looked at Lu Lin with apologetic eyes:

“Big Brother, if it really doesn’t work, I’ll leave Akatsuki. That way, helping you won’t be a problem.”

“No need.”

Lu Lin shook his head and said:

“This time they haven’t sent out their main forces, so the enemy’s strength won’t be too strong. This is a good opportunity to see how far my Hidden Heaven Village has developed after all this time.”

Akatsuki and Hanzo’s group were considered Lu Lin’s trump cards; using them here would be too uneconomical. The enemy’s power had not yet reached a desperate level.

Even if they really couldn’t win a frontal battle, Lu Lin could still lead Hatake Sakumo and other Kage-level powerhouses to carry out decapitation strikes. Hmm, decapitating the heads of those Daimyō.

Considering the Kage-level combat power currently possessed by the Land of Tea, besides Lu Lin, the Uchiha clan alone had three, as well as Mingyan, Mizukawa, Kakuzu, and Hatake Sakumo.

And there was also Madara, who could directly burst out with Super Kage-level combat power at a critical moment. As for Hidan, if his ability was not known to the enemy beforehand, he could secretly kill a Kage-level powerhouse.

But if his ability was known, a few elite Jonin could subdue him.

“Alright, Sakumo-kun, it’s been so long, let’s bring out the Heaven Ninjas and see. If they always grow up under our protection, then Hidden Heaven Village and the Land of Tea will always remain small villages and small countries, unable to grow.”

When this group of people leaves here or dies, the Land of Tea will return to its previous state, and all the current efforts will be in vain.

“I understand.”

Although he couldn’t bear to see his subordinates sacrifice themselves, Hatake Sakumo also understood that ninjas who hadn’t experienced the fires of war would never be considered strong ninjas.

……

“Minato, is another war about to begin?”

Recently, the village had become tense, and even Kushina, who was pregnant and rarely went out, noticed something was wrong.

Knowing he couldn’t hide it from his wife, Namikaze Minato sighed and could only tell her the whole story.

“The Five Great Ninja Villages are ganging up to bully a small country?!”

Kushina was somewhat incredulous, but at the same time, it felt somewhat familiar. Where had she heard of such a thing before?

Right, it was her previous clan, the Land of Whirlpools.

Although it wasn’t besieged by the Five Great Ninja Villages back then, it was invaded by several ninja villages simultaneously.

At that time, the very young Kushina didn’t understand why her clan and her clansmen, who disliked war and rarely participated in it, would offend so many ninja villages.

Thinking about it now, part of the reason was helping Konoha, but more importantly, it was because, at that time, the Daimyō of the Land of Whirlpools was a member of their Uzumaki clan, not a true noble.

“So, Minato, are you also going to participate in this war?”

Kushina looked at Minato with tearful eyes. After becoming pregnant, Kushina became more empathetic, and besides, her only best friend, Uchiha Mikoto, lived in the Land of Tea.

“I…”

Namikaze Minato’s voice faltered slightly. He wanted to become Hokage, and the fastest way to accumulate prestige was naturally to lead the village’s ninjas to win wars.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi also intended for him to participate in this war, and even made him the commander, assisted by the rising star from the Nara clan, Shikaku Nara.

Looking at the hesitant Namikaze Minato, Kushina also understood that her husband was also going to participate in the war.

She became increasingly dissatisfied with Konoha. When the Land of Whirlpools was besieged back then, Konoha, as an ally, just watched. Now, they were even uniting with others to bully a small country.

And knowing that she was pregnant, they still wanted to send her husband out…
