Chapter 205: Vertical and Horizontal Alliances (Two in One)

Although his heart was filled with resentment towards Kiden Shingetsu, Namikaze Minato still tried his best to calm down.

Because he knew that no matter from the perspective of status or strength, he was far from being comparable to Guideng Xinyue.

So all that can be done now is to be patient, seize every opportunity to improve your strength and status, and become the Fourth Hokage according to the original historical process. Then, with the power of Konoha as a platform, you can have the opportunity to complete your revenge. .

But when he took a deeper look at the sudden memories in his mind, he found that except for those experiences about ninjutsu that were helpful to him, the rest of the memories about major events in the "future" seemed to have no effect. big.

Without him, due to the existence of Ghost Light Crescent Moon, the history of the ninja world at this time has already been greatly changed.

The most important thing is that the Uzumaki clan not only did not die, but also ran to Kirigakure Village.

The most important change in this series is that Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has changed its candidate, from Uzumaki Kushina to Uzumaki Michiko, and because of this, his girlfriend, Uzumaki Kushina, disappeared from her memory. Transformed into Michiko Uzumaki.

The anger just now gradually weakened as the two memories continued to merge. After all, for Namikaze Minato, he knew that the "future" could change, and the most important thing was to grasp the present.

And because it received fragmented memories, Bo Feng Shui Men gradually calmed down over time, freeing himself from the unwillingness and resentment of his future self.

In addition to this difference, there is also the Second Ninja War. It was originally a melee between the four kingdoms of thunder, earth, wind, and fire. It turned into an alliance of thunder, earth, wind, and three kingdoms to fight against the Konoha family. This also led to Konoha's The damage sustained during this war was much greater than remembered.

"The structure of the ninja world today is very different from the one in memory, so the changes in the future in that memory need to be carefully considered."

Namikaze Minato secretly pondered, if according to the memory of the future, then the next big event about Konoha will be the suicide of Hatake Sakumo, which can be used to judge whether the future will be affected.

"It's just that this seems a bit sorry for Kakashi..."

Namikaze Minato glanced at Kakashi who was opening the way ahead. It didn't seem very good to experiment on the life and death of his disciple's father.

"Forget it, let's wait and see for a while! After the report is over, let's learn the so-called 'immortal mode' based on the experience in memory... Only when our strength has improved can we talk about other things."

——

After careful thinking, Namikaze Minato simply told everyone what happened. Although everyone was half-convinced about the events such as "Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon", "Time Travel", and "The Kyuubi's Capture in the Future", Namikaze Minato simply told everyone what happened. The injuries on Men's body cannot be faked.

In addition, everyone knew about Namikaze Minato, so the group did not say anything and just accelerated their pace back to Konoha Village.

In this way, after two days of trekking, everyone finally returned to the village and came to the Hokage's office to see Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"future?"

As expected, when Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this word, a look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.

After all, even in the legends left by the Immortal of Six Paths, there is no story about traveling through time and space.

And now the only person who can provide evidence to Namikaze Minato is Demon Light Crescent Moon. Such science fiction happened here, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Well... let's put aside the things about the future for now! Minato, listen to your tone, when you reach the dragon veins, Ghost Light Crescent Moon is already there, and he has also subdued the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki from the future. , pulled out the nine tails from his body?"

The hesitant Hiruzen Sarutobi gave up thinking about the future and pointed directly at the most important part of Minato Namikaze's words to Konoha.

"Yes, I saw all this with my own eyes."

Namikaze Minato replied affirmatively.

"Hmm... In this case, Danzo, what do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe, thought for a while, and then asked Shimura Danzo who was sitting aside with his eyes closed to relax.

"The Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon must have gone there for the Dragon Vein. Even if we don't mention the Nine-Tails matter now, the Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon must have another chakra energy in her hands that is comparable to the tailed beasts. This is what we urgently need. Issues to consider…”.

As someone who had had face-to-face contact with Kiden Shingetsu, Shimura Danzo knew that Kiden Shingetsu would never do things without aim.

Since he appeared in Loulan Kingdom, he must be heading for the dragon vein. Even according to Gui Deng Xinyue's past temperament of taking one step at a time, this dragon vein must be related to some of his future plans.

In this case……

"Hiruzen, contact Iwagakure and Kumogakure to form an alliance!"

Danzo Shimura opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said.

"An alliance?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. Having just been beaten by the three countries of Wind, Thunder, and Earth, Shimura Danzo's proposal for an alliance was quite bold.

Minato Namikaze and others in the office also looked at Shimura Danzo in shock, shocked by his bold idea.

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

Shimura Danzo deeply understood this sentence from his transaction with Kiden Shinetsu. He and Kiden Shinetsu have a good cooperative relationship, but this does not prevent him from proposing an alliance against Kirigakure Village as Hokage's assistant.

"Since Hozuki Shingetsu came to power, Kirigakure has changed its past appearance and ushered in a new development. Its current strength has greatly improved compared to the past."

"But in this process, Kirigakure has inevitably formed conflicts with various ninja villages."

Shimura Danzo stood up and told the story of Kirigakure's rise.

"Among them, let's not talk about the conflict between our Konoha and him. We are all family members and we all know it."

"In Iwagakure, the Five-Tails of Iwagakure was sealed by Kirigakure, and no one knows where it is sealed to now. At the time of the peace truce talks, I heard that Ohnoki wanted to reconcile with Kirigakure to get the Five-Tails back, but was rejected by Hozuki Shingetsu and left angrily!"

"Kumogakure, let's not talk about the fact that Raikage's brother Moody was captured by Kirigakure. Just say that the incomplete version of the chakra cannon technology that Kirigakure got back from Kumogakure has now become Kirigakure. A flag of the village, famous in all countries, do you think the Cloud Village will hold a grudge against the Mist Village? "

"After all, in the eyes of the barbarians in the Cloud Village, they have always been the ones to take advantage of others. How could they be willing to be taken advantage of by Kizuna Shingetsu?"

"As for the Sand Village... well, the Sand Village has just experienced the handover of the Wind Shadow and has signed an economic alliance with the Mist Village, so let's skip it for now."

Shimura Danzo thought for a moment and found that there was no obvious contradiction between the Mist Village and the Sand Village that could be used, so he could only pass it over vaguely.

"These three families, plus our Konoha, all have obvious conflicts with the Hidden Mist Village. So our three families have the basis for an alliance - a common enemy."

"In addition to the conflicts between the above families and the Hidden Mist Village, there is another very special reason. The Hidden Mist Village did not participate in the Second Ninja World War, but took this opportunity to make a fortune from the war."

"Now the business environment of the Hidden Mist Village is the best in the Ninja World."

"Now that our ninja villages are about to recover, it is unreasonable for the Hidden Mist Village to be so rich, right?"

Shimura Danzo's meaning is very clear, to gather them with hatred and lure them with benefits.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"This is a good idea. Once this method is used, no matter what the future is now, no matter whether he has the Nine-Tailed Fox or has obtained any dragon veins, he can only admit defeat..."

No matter what Kizuki Shingetsu got in Loulan Country, no matter what he wants to do with the dragon veins, this side will directly suppress him with force and form a three-country alliance to suppress him directly.

"Not only that, this move actually has another fundamental purpose, which is to remove the hostility and blockade of Konoha from the ninja world!"

Shimura Danzo's words immediately attracted the attention of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the people present, and they couldn't help but calm down and listen to him in detail.

"If you recall the road to the prosperity of the Hidden Mist Village, it is not difficult to see that it was after the rise of Kizuna Shingetsu that the Hidden Mist Village began to have new changes."

"Everyone knows what the Hidden Mist Village was like before. Kizuna Shingetsu's core idea is definitely to develop the Hidden Mist Village. There is no doubt about this."

Shimura Danzo looked around and was very satisfied with the respectful attitude of everyone present.

"But if he wants to develop himself, he must have a stable external environment. So all his foreign policies actually have only one purpose, which is to provoke hostility from all countries to our Konoha, so that all countries will ignore the development of Kirigakure."

"To this end, he used means such as "Konoha Threat Theory", "Uchiha Human Rights Report", "Ninja World Ranking" and other means to discredit and frame our Konoha, and tried his best to exaggerate the strength of our Konoha."

"It can be said that the reason why our Konoha was besieged by the three countries in the Second Ninja World War was that Kirigakure contributed at least half of the effort!"

"And with the attention of all countries on us, combined with the geographical advantage of Kirigakure located overseas, Kirigakure has really developed Kirigakure in the past six or seven years."

The people present were silent. After Shimura Danzo's review, they found that the current development of Kirigakure is really based on the blood and tears of Konoha.

"But what does this have to do with resolving the crisis of our Konoha?"

The youngest and most impatient Hatake Kakashi thought for a moment and spoke first.

Shimura Danzo glanced at Hatake Kakashi, thinking about when to kill his father Hatake Sakumo, while calmly answering his question.

"Misfortunes are the root of blessings, and blessings are the root of misfortunes. How can everything be as he thinks?"

"Boy, let me ask you a question. If there are five crickets fighting now, do you think the strongest one will be eliminated first, or the thinnest one?"

"I will naturally choose the weak one..."

Kakashi's words stopped abruptly, as if he understood something.

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and explained: "Looking at the previous strategy of Hozuki Shingetsu, it can be said that it is just one idea, uniting the weak to resist the strong."

"But now we are doing the opposite, uniting the strong to eliminate the weak, do you think this is feasible?"

"Of course it is feasible! As long as the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village are not destroyed, and there are at least three big ninja villages in the ninja world, they will naturally agree to do so!"

Namikaze Minato took over Shimura Danzo's words and responded with a little excitement.

With his brain, he could naturally figure out the reason, but he really didn't expect that before it was his turn to become the Fourth Hokage to deal with the ghost lamp Xinzue, Danzo Shimura took the lead here.

"It seems that I was still biased against Elder Danzo before... I didn't expect him to be such a wise person..."

As soon as he thought of this, Namikaze Minato's eyes looked at Shimura Danzo with a hint of softness involuntarily.

"However, in order to achieve the transformation from 'uniting the weak to resist the strong' to 'uniting the strong to eliminate the weak', several specific conditions are required. Fortunately, we have already completed these conditions."

Shimura Danzo naturally didn't know what Namikaze Minato was thinking at this time, so he continued to tell everyone according to his own ideas.

"That's...the draw of the Second Ninja War!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the table excitedly and responded.

"That's right! It's the draw of the Second Ninja World War! Three ninja villages defeated one of us, but they still didn't win. You can imagine how difficult it is to defeat us."

"So at this time, they will inevitably change their minds. We take the opportunity to unite them with the wealth of Kirigakure Village and the conflict with Ghost Light Crescent, and jointly deal with Kirigakure Village and Sand Hidden Village, we will definitely succeed!"

The crutch in Danzo Shimura's hand hit the floor heavily, ending his speech.

"Very good. This plan will be spread through the roots after we return. How can such a great plan not be known to others?"

Shimura Danzo was also very satisfied with his plan, and immediately thought of spreading the plan to become famous.

"Okay, very good! Danzo, I really saw you right, you do have a skill!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen paced the room excitedly, reviewing the entire plan again.

God knows how he got through these years when Konoha was targeted by the ninja world. When the three major ninja villages joined forces to attack Konoha, he was the only one who knew how much pressure he felt in his heart.

Now that he finally had a way to resolve this hostility, and it could also lead the trouble to the initiator of Kirigakure Village, how could he not be excited?

"However, it has just been two years since the Second Ninja War, and each family is probably just catching its breath at this time. I guess they will not be willing to send troops at this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was walking when he suddenly thought of a question.

"It doesn't matter. Hiruzen, you must first understand that the purpose of our alliance with them is first to dissolve their hostility towards us, and secondly to deal with Kirigakure Village. Don't forget this order."

Shimura Danzo responded with a meaningless look.

Moreover, at this time, he also needs the Kirigakure Village as his financial aid to gain prestige for him to ascend to the position of Hokage. Naturally, he will not want Kirigakure to be really destroyed.

As for whether Gui Leng Xinyue will continue to support him after the alliance against Kirigakure is established...

It can be said that after this alliance is established, Gui Deng Xinyue will support him more firmly.

Because only by pushing the Kirigakure Village harder, Kiden Shingetsu hopes that Danzo Shimura will become the Hokage, and that there will be civil strife in Konoha to give the Kirigakure Village a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Danzo Shimura saw this very clearly.

"Okay, Danzo, since this plan was proposed by you, you are solely responsible for it! If you need any manpower or materials, just ask!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to his desk, relaxed his mood and then gave instructions to Shimura Danzo.

"Ha... Now I don't have to worry about making a name for myself. With this name, everyone will know that it was me, Danzo Shimura, who changed Konoha's harsh international environment."

Shimura Danzo nodded, thinking happily in his heart.

"Danzo-sama... you are really powerful!"

The way Shimura Danzo strategized left an indelible impression on the young Hatake Kakashi.

At the age of five, when his mind was immature, Shimura Danzo's attitude of influencing the ninja world while talking and laughing could be said to be exactly what he yearned for.

Of course he didn't know that the man in front of him would target his father and take advantage of his mother in the near future.

In his heart at this time, he only had infinite respect for Shimura Danzo.

"We can't start a war directly against Kirigakure Village... but that's fine. After all, it's better to avenge this on our own."

On the other side, Namikaze Minato, after hearing that he could not start a war against Kirigakure Village, quickly adjusted his mentality after a brief depression. He secretly made a decision in his heart to do his best to master the sage mode and seals in the future memory fragments. Technique, attribute Rasengan cultivation determination.

A small Hokage office can be said to be filled with thousands of people, each with their own thoughts.

——

Soon, with the push of Konoha, the covenant of the three countries of fire, earth, and thunder was formally established, and Konoha's harsh border environment was greatly alleviated in an instant.

After hearing the news, Kirigakure and Sunagakure Village also moved quickly to upgrade their previous economic alliance to a military alliance.

The top three of the top five ninja villages in the ninja world jointly targeted the last two, which can be said to have attracted the attention of everyone in the ninja world in an instant.

If a war really breaks out, there is nothing to say. Even if the ghost lamp and the new moon are there, the Hidden Mist Village will only fail.

But fortunately, they have just experienced a war, and all the ninja villages except Kirigakure have just taken a breath. Even if the Three Kingdoms Alliance actually takes action, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. At this stage, the main attack method between the two alliances is Use all means other than war.

So, according to the map of the Ninja World, the Kirigakure and Sand Villages, located at the east and west ends of the Ninja World, formed an alliance to fight against Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, located in the middle of the Ninja World.

For a while, an alternative international confrontation of vertical and horizontal alliances was formed on the Ninja World.
