Chapter 5: External Issues
"Lord Xia Nan, the next step is about issues outside the village."
Izumi politely gave up her position to Zaemon, who was in charge of external affairs, but she walked to the right side of the desk with light steps, and naturally stood next to Xia Nan.
"So what's the feedback from the outside world? Is there any new news about the returning reconnaissance ninja?"
At this moment, Xia Nan restrained her divergent thoughts, and even her voice became deeper under her serious expression.
"It's not good, it's bad." Zaemon was Fugaku's right-hand man before, and had been responsible for the investigation and intelligence work of spies in the village. After Xia Nan came to power, he chose to let Zaemon continue to use his expertise, but only for internal affairs.
The work of investigation became external.
"Although they have tried their best to block the news, spies from other ninja villages who are among the civilians still find ways to send out the information here. What is known so far is that Suna Ninja Village must have obtained first-hand information, so their
The response will be the fastest."
"In addition, Suna Ninja Village is the closest to Konoha, so a mission under the name of visiting will soon arrive in the near future."
Zaemon frowned. He was worried that the Uchiha's hard-earned foundation might be bitten by a beast that smelled the smell of blood and came looking for him before he could even sit down.
"The people sent by Sand Ninja Village are not well-intentioned. How about rejecting them directly on the grounds that the village is under martial law?"
"If we do this, I'm afraid it will appear that we are guilty."
Xia Nan and Quan communicated with each other.
"Lord Xia Nan, there is another very serious problem."
"What is it?"
"If the delegation from Suna Ninja Village comes and discovers the current atmosphere in the village, the wariness and distrust of the civilians towards Uchiha, and the hostility and fear of the family ninja towards us, these things that are so obvious cannot be hidden, I am worried that it may
Someone with good intentions will take advantage of this and cause civil strife for us."
"Are you worried that they will attack Uchiha from both inside and outside?" Xia Nan seemed to understand why Zaemon was so distressed. What he was worried about was not the Suna Ninja itself, but the ensuing external influences.
"Although the possibility is very low, it cannot be completely denied. Although Suna Ninja is weaker than Konoha, it is still one of the five great ninja villages, and its overall strength is superior to Uchiha. In addition, the atmosphere in the village is tense now
, Uchiha and other people in the village find it difficult to trust each other, so it is inevitable that some people may want to take risks."
"But..." At this time, Zuoemon suddenly changed his tone and looked at Xia Nan with a somewhat relaxed and happy expression: "With you, the clan leader, in charge of Konoha, any conspiracy will be meaningless in the face of absolute strength.
.Perhaps, we can also use this in turn to give those guys with bad intentions a shot in the arm."
It was rare that the usually serious Zaemon would start joking, and the tense atmosphere seemed to become much more relaxed for a moment.
"But sitting at home and waiting for others to come to your door is not a good thing after all. Maybe we can take action in advance." However, Xia Nan believes that there is no need to wait too conservatively, and taking the initiative is also an option.
Based on his earlier thoughts, Xia Nan made a suggestion: "Sitting and waiting for death is harmful to Uchiha. Why don't we take the lead in responding before Suna Ninja Village? What do you think, Zuemon?"
"Master Xia Nan, do you want to go to Sand Ninja Village in person?"
Zaemon instantly understood what Xia Nan meant.
"The Great Flame Ring is not suitable to be displayed in the village. You also know that it is too powerful and can easily be associated with the big pit in the village. But if it were displayed in other places, such as the border territory of Sand Ninja Village, you think they would appreciate it.
My gift to them?”
"It's this kind of... how do you say it?" Xia Nan opened her arms and made a big spherical gesture and said: "I don't know how to describe it specifically. In short, it is a very special kind of fireworks. After all, you see,
Fireworks are a symbol of blessing and hope. Maybe the people in Sand Ninja Village can feel our hot enthusiasm, and maybe they won't want to disturb us?"
More than just enthusiasm, I am afraid that it may melt the opponent accidentally. Zaemon smiled awkwardly, and then said: "As expected of Mr. Xia Nan, the courage and heroic spirit of turning passive into active are indeed worthy of us.
Above."
"But if this happens, our credibility and reputation in Sand Ninja Village will probably collapse and disappear along with the brilliant fireworks."
"Hahahaha, that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore!" Xia Nan showed a nonchalant smile. He had even overthrown Konoha Village, so would he still care about the credibility of a mere Sand Ninja?
Xia Nan felt that there was no need to be so cautious when dealing with the Sand Ninja Village. He had three pairs of kaleidoscopes in his hands, one of the strongest tailed beasts, the most capable family in the ninja world, and he had the basic confidence to be a humanoid nuclear bomb.
If it is said that the stronger the ninja world is, the more respected it is, Xia Nan feels that if she goes to the Kingdom of Wind, the Fourth Kazekage should come to pick her up in person... Ahem, this may be a bit arrogant, but Xia Nan sincerely
If you think you can't lose, can you still mess up the joke?
Xia Nan set up a small Flag here.
"I support Mr. Xia Nan's idea of taking the initiative to show strong power. This can not only avoid unnecessary disputes, but also effectively deter the Suna Ninja Village's offensive deployment. Therefore, I fully support Mr. Xia Nan. This can prevent the village from many
A pointless fight."
Quan raised his hands and agreed with a clear and hearty voice.
"Where's Iemon?"
Zaemon turned his attention to his younger brother.
"Could I say no? Just thinking about it makes me..."
"ok, I get it."
Ignoring his brother's resentful expression, Zaemon turned to Xia Nan and said, "If Xia Nan thinks this plan is feasible, then please leave it to me to arrange it. But it's too early to say anything about this matter now."
, Your Excellency, you should first take care of the affairs in the village, and let’s discuss this matter later.”
Xia Nan thought for a while, and indeed there were still a lot of problems in the village. If she suddenly ran out and lost the people in town, there would be no guarantee that a desperate family would appear. In order to prevent herself from finding out when she came back after going out for a walk,
Since her home was stolen, Xia Nan decided to settle the affairs in the village first.
"By the way, if Suna Ninja Village knows the news, then other Ninja Villages should follow soon."
"Judging from the road, it should be followed by Iwa Ninja Village, then Cloud Ninja Village, and finally the closed Mist Ninja Village. However, since Mist Ninja Village implemented the bloody policy, it has not communicated with the outside world for a long time. Maybe they will get the news later.
A little further behind."
Mist Ninja Village...
Xia Nan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Uchiha Obito controls the third generation of Mizukage to make trouble in the Mist Ninja. Maybe you can find a time to meet him and bring back several new families to the empty Leaf Village. This can not only expand the reserve size of the Leaf Village, but also
can break the current deadlock.
And those new families will definitely get close to the Uchiha faction and can help Uchiha rule Konoha more effectively.
