Chapter 20 Supporting the Iron Kingdom
Back at the mansion, Yuta received a secret letter, which was actually a handwritten letter from the Iron Country general Mifune. He hoped that the Uzumaki clan could provide them with some ninja beasts to withstand the attack from the Rain Country.
Offered a price three times higher than the market price.
If they finally resist the invasion from the Kingdom of Rain, the money will be repaid gradually and they will gain friendship from the Kingdom of Iron.
In fact, Yuta is also paying attention to this war, knowing very well that the Iron Kingdom can no longer sustain it for much longer. No wonder they are so anxious that they have asked the Uzumaki clan for help. I am afraid that other wealthy ninja clans have also received similar letters asking for help.
.
But how many are willing to help the Iron Kingdom?
Before he could think clearly, Konoha issued a summons for the Hokage, and the leaders of all major ninja clans in the village gathered in the conference room of the Hokage Building to discuss matters.
Yuta, representing the Uzumaki clan, sat at the end of the seat, with only one guard beside him.
"Everyone, I believe you have all received the rescue letter from the Kingdom of Iron. Can you share your views?" Hiruzen got straight to the point and directly stated the purpose of this meeting. His style is so resolute.
"The Kingdom of Iron is about to end. Is there any point in saving him? Anyway, I, the Akimichi clan, will not waste this resource."
"Our idea is that the Iron Country itself is a country with scarce resources. Even if they survive this war, we have paid so much, how long do we have to wait for rewards?"
"You're right. I don't believe any fool would do something that is obviously useless."
"But as far as I know, the biggest problem of the Iron Country is the lack of resources. If we provide them with resources, it will not be a problem to continue to defend it."
"But why should we be taken advantage of? Whether the Iron Kingdom will be destroyed or not, what does it have to do with us?"
The vast majority of the ninja clan expressed their opinions and were very unanimous in their opposition. This did not surprise Hiruzen. The ninja world itself is like this, everyone considers their own interests.
"What is the opinion of the Uzumaki clan?" Danzo said suddenly, looking at Yuta sharply.
Immediately, this child caught the attention of everyone present, and they still had fresh memories of the farce that happened not long ago.
That guy Danzo seems to have suffered a big loss from this kid!
It seems that the rumors may not be groundless.
"The Kingdom of Iron wanted us to provide Ninja Beasts as support and gave us a very high price. I thought about it and thought the business was good, so I agreed." Yuta said calmly.
But this sentence made everyone look weird. Should I say that I am really worthy of being a child? Is the idea that simple? If someone offers you a high price, you dare to jump in?
It seems that this young master who caused Danzo embarrassment is no big deal.
However, Yuta's words made Hiruzen's eyes light up and he asked: "Is it really just like that?"
"Hokage-sama has taught us that we must remember that we are ninjas of Konoha Village, and we must think about problems from the perspective of Konoha's interests. So I thought, is it good or bad for Konoha to provide resources to the Kingdom of Iron?
?"
"I think it should be a good thing, because this is an unjust war. The Kingdom of Rain should not declare war on a neutral country. This goes against the will of Konoha. Then we should help the Kingdom of Iron, even if it is free of charge.
It should be done.”
The meaning of this statement is actually very simple and anyone can understand it. Helping the Iron Country is helping Konoha!
As a result, the ninja clan who expressed their opposition in the front were a little embarrassed. They were all thinking about this issue from the perspective of their own ninja clan.
"Although Yuta is only a child, his views are the same as those of an old guy like me. Yes, we should help the Iron Country. This is why I summoned you." Hiruzen laughed heartily. It turned out that the young man was the one.
Regarding the future of Konoha, how can these selfish old guys think about the interests of Konoha?
This made him more and more satisfied with Yuta, and the decision he made before was indeed right.
Danzo on the side was still looking at the air in front of him expressionlessly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
For the sake of Konoha, under such great righteousness, all the ninja clans had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and approved Hiruzen's decision, but there was no telling how many resources they would provide privately.
"The war in the Land of Rain will not end so soon. I think Sunagakure Village has been impatient for a long time. They will probably fight soon. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and don't get involved easily." Hiruzen
Continue.
No one was surprised by this. Hiruzen was quite conservative and didn't like to start wars.
Although the army has been deployed at the border with the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Wind, it is only for defense.
In fact, Hiruzen was quite grateful to Hanzo for his activeness. It was his existence that helped the Fire Country attract the hatred of nearby countries. Otherwise, if other countries took action against the Fire Country, he would be devastated.
Therefore, providing help to the Iron Country, even if it only extends the duration of the war, will only benefit Konoha and not cause any harm.
Under the mobilization of Hiruzen, all ninja clans began to gather resources and send them to the front line of the Iron Kingdom. The Uzumaki clan was certainly no exception. The Uzumaki Keigo team also embarked on the journey to the Iron Kingdom with dozens of seal scrolls.
Journey.
This is the little resource they have managed to save during this period of time, and now that they have all contributed, there is no trace of distress on Yuta's face.
If you give up, you will gain. He is betting that the Kingdom of Iron will not be destroyed so easily.
As someone analyzed at the meeting, the Kingdom of Iron occupies an excellent geographical location. If the war resources were not too scarce, it would definitely be able to fight back and forth with the Kingdom of Rain. But now, under the leadership of Hiruzen, Konoha
Blood transfusion to the Kingdom of Iron has begun. This battle still has to be fought.
Even if you lose the bet, it doesn't matter. A poor ninja clan will not easily arouse the covetousness of others. The most important thing in the Uzumaki clan now is Gou. After being in Konoha for thirty years, Gou has almost established a firm foothold.

Put people first, everything else is secondary.
During this period of time, he was like a sponge, crazily absorbing the knowledge in Konoha Ninja School. He believed that in a short while, he would be able to graduate early and become a genin.
And with his already chunin strength, it won't take too long to take another step forward.
He will climb up step by step, gain Hiruzen's trust, and parasitize on the big tree of Konoha to draw nourishment until he is sure of turning his back.
However, when he proposed to skip to fifth grade next semester, he was flatly rejected, and the person who rejected him turned out to be Hiruzen.
Although he has completed his fourth grade studies.
"I don't know why you are so anxious, but I hope you can attend the ninja school until you graduate normally." Hiruzen explained to him patiently.
"Why can other people graduate early?" Yuta felt unwillingly.
"You are different from others. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, your chakra volume will increase rapidly with age. The later you graduate, the better for you. The battlefield should not be a place for children."
However, Yuta would not believe his nonsense. If he really valued the cultivation of children so much, there would be no reason why he would allow others to graduate early.
Do you think Minato will skip a grade in the future?
Hiruzen saw Yuta's disbelief, thought for a long time, and finally said reluctantly: "Do you know about tailed beasts?"
"My grandfather told me..."
"Well, I'm thinking about whether to let you become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."
Yuta is really shocked now. What did you just say?
Make me the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?
