Chapter 555 It's not enough!
Let's not talk about Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
The troops sent to the Land of Rain during the Third Great Ninja War have not yet shown any intention of withdrawing.
Even Konohagakure itself.
Although the war was tight before, and the Land of Rain was not the main battlefield of this Great Ninja War, so no troops were stationed in the Land of Rain early.
But Kaito didn't believe that the old guy Shimura Danzo would not plant Root spies in the Land of Rain.
Even with the old guy's personality, the number of such spies must be quite large.
After all, the beginning and end of the Great Ninja War were only aimed at the five great ninja villages.
The five great ninja villages "bullying" other small ninja villages is at most a daily occurrence.
This is why Kaito had previously suggested that Yahiko shrink all-round, secretly control the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, and strengthen the control over the entire Land of Rain.
With the financial support of the Daimyo, a small-scale ninja village like the Amegakure Village can continue to maintain rapid development after shrinking.
"Did Yahiko tell you what he thought?"
Kaito tilted his head and looked at Nagato who was still waiting for his answer.
Although Nagato told him that Yahiko wanted to ask for his opinion, the Amegakure Village would definitely have its own inclinations on this matter.
Asking Kaito was likely a courtesy to avoid harming their ally's interests.
Whether out of camaraderie or because the Kirigakure held the upper hand in their partnership, Kaito appreciated Yahiko's gesture.
At this moment, he naturally needed to understand what Amegakure Village thought.
Nagato hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"The current situation of Amegakure Village is not good. Although it has the full support of the daimyo, the pressure from Sunagakure and Iwagakure is still great."
"Previously, the Kazekage of Sunagakure wanted to sign an alliance treaty with Amegakure Village to help Amegakure expel Iwagakure from the territory of the Land of Rain."
When talking about the "alliance" of Sunagakure, Nagato gritted his teeth a little.
Rasa naturally couldn't have much good intentions. The so-called "alliance" was nothing more than accepting Amegakure as a dog.
Well. There are also many similar alliances around Kirigakure.
After talking about these difficulties, Nagato continued.
"So, Yahiko thinks this is an opportunity, and it may allow Amegakure to truly usher in a period of peace and stability."
Kaito heard this and just shook his head without commenting on Yahiko's idea.
Regarding setting the base of the maintenance force in the Land of Rain and helping the Land of Rain to gain a nominally neutral country, Kaito can only think that Konoha wants to use Jiraiya's relationship and its own influence on Amegakure to have more say in this force.
Maybe Namikaze Minato, the Hokage, is more out of consideration for the Zero Organization, but if it is placed in the entire Konohagakure Village, this say and influence can do more things.
Some time ago, Kaito just received the information sent back by the "White Zetsu Unit".
Konohagakure has recently sent a lot of spies to the Land of Lightning, either openly or secretly.
Obviously, the last time Minato suspected that the Kumogakure Village was the mastermind, but he himself rejected it.
But after all, Kumogakure actually exposed many suspicious points, and Konohagakure still had some concerns about them.
As for the location of the Land of Rain.
It is located between the three Lands, the land of Fire, Earth, and Wind, among which Land of Fire is the strongest.
On the contrary, it is far away from the suspected Kumogakure Village and the now quite powerful Kirigakure Village under Kaito, and its influence is relatively weak.
It is indeed a location that is beneficial to Konoha.
But.
Compared with the relationship between Jiraiya and Yahiko, the cooperation between the Mizukage Kaito and the Amegakure Village is also good. In the end, it is still unknown who actually takes the initiative.
Instead, it is the Amegakure Village itself.
What Yahiko hopes to achieve peace in the country by using this incident?
The Zero Organization has been watching in the dark for a long time, and there are also the two villages, Iwagakure and Sand Village.
Kaito can't say for sure whether it will be peaceful or not just relying on the name of a neutral country.
But after attracting the attention of so many people in the ninja world, the development of the Amegakure Village itself must be forgotten, at least the improvement of its military power will definitely stagnate.
'But this is also Yahiko's own choice. Moreover, the Akatsuki Organization is against the Zero Organization? It sounds good.'
The thought flashed through his mind, and Kaito first signaled Nagato to be patient, and said slowly.
"Let's go to the Mizukage Building first, find a meeting room, and I will talk to Yahiko in person."
Then he waved to Uchiha Hikari, who was waiting a little bored, and strode towards the Mizukage Building.
Arriving at the Mizukage Building, Kaito first greeted the elder Genji, and then looked at Nagato with a face full of expectation. Kaito, who felt a little funny, did not break his promise.
He randomly chose an office and asked Nagato to connect the communication through the "Astral Projection Jutsu".
After seeing Yahiko's phantom emerge, Kaito didn't say anything nonsense and said straight to the point.
"Nagato has already talked to me briefly about the location of the maintenance force and the neutral country, and I also understand your thoughts, Yahiko."
"This matter has no loss for our Kirigakure. As an ally, I can agree to this matter and help the Land of Rain to fight for the title of this neutral country."
Seeing Kaito's direct expression of his sincerity, Yahiko's face immediately showed a hint of joy.
This matter is essentially a game between the five great ninja villages, and the Amegakure Village itself has no actual say.
Now that Konohagakure has proposed this matter, and Kirigakure has also expressed its agreement, it is basically a sure thing.
"But."
Before Yahiko could say anything to thank him, his expression tensed up a little after hearing the word "but".
Ignoring Yahiko's rapidly changing expression, Kaito spoke to himself.
".What reason does Konoha have for proposing this proposal?"
Yahiko heard this and felt relieved to see that Kaito was just asking a question. He spoke after careful consideration.
"Jiraiya-sensei said that the purpose of establishing the maintenance force is not only to target the Zero Organization hidden in the dark, but also to maintain peace in the ninja world."
"So we, the Amegakure Village, will be the representative of the small ninja village, and will be responsible for hosting, supervising and mediating."
Kaito heard this reason and shook his head and laughed.
The representative of the small ninja village is directly appointed by the five great ninja villages, and is also responsible for supervision and mediation?
It's really hard for him not to find it ridiculous.
However, after laughing, Kaito looked at Yahiko, who was a little confused, with a serious expression and spoke slowly.
"That's not enough!"
"I will represent the Kirigakure Village and make this suggestion to Konohagakure Village later, and add one more thing."
"Let the Amegakure Village also send ninjas to join the maintenance force!"
