Chapter 556 Agree! I agree!
"Join the maintenance force?"
Yahiko obviously didn't understand why Kaito made such a suggestion.
Although the maintenance force was named "maintaining the peace of the ninja world" and "investigating potential crises", it was essentially established to deal with the Zero Organization that secretly captured the tailed beasts.
The Amegakure Village didn't have its own tailed beasts, so why did it join this organization?
Well, because of "Nagato's death", the Amegakure Village did have a grudge against the Zero Organization, but...
"Can the other four great ninja villages agree to this?"
Yahiko asked hesitantly.
Unlike setting the headquarters base in the Amegakure Village, although the Amegakure Village was defined as a representative of a small ninja village, it was just hosting, supervising, and mediating.
However, even Yahiko himself knew about this matter, but it was just talk.
From the name of the maintenance force, it can be seen that the five great ninja villages obviously have their own ambitions to establish this force. After the Zero Organization is truly resolved, they will definitely not disband this force directly.
In the name of maintaining peace, intervening in the political power of small countries, fighting hostile forces, and establishing the majesty of large ninja villages are all foreseeable in the future.
And how could the five great ninja villages, or the four great ninja villages other than Kirigakure, allow the Amegakure Village, which is not equal to them, to participate in this violent organization that concerns their own interests?
Hearing Yahiko's question, Kaito just shook his head slightly with a calm expression.
"Let's not talk about whether other ninja villages can agree. If this proposal is passed, I hope Nagato can join the maintenance force as a representative of Amegakure Village."
"Ah?"
Nagato, who has always been acting as a "telephone line" on the side, looked at Kaito in a daze.
As a result, who would have thought that this matter could inexplicably involve himself.
Ignoring Nagato's stunned face, and signaling the two to stay calm, Kaito explained.
"This is not a bad thing for the Amegakure Village. In fact, it is a choice that you must make."
"Apart from the obvious benefit of participating in this matter to enhance the status of the Amegakure Village in the ninja world, Yahiko, have you ever thought about it? If the Land of Rain is chosen as the base for the army jointly formed by the five great ninja villages, will the Amegakure Village still have the opportunity to develop its own military power in the future?"
"Or, have you ever thought about what impact it will have on the Land of Rain if the command of this foreign army falls into the hands of the Iwagakure Village or the Sunagakure Village when the Amegakure Village loses its own military power?"
Yahiko fell into complete silence after hearing this. Of course, he had considered this matter before.
Since the maintenance force is called a "troop", it is naturally impossible for each village to send only a few jonin to participate in it.
To explore intelligence, participate in battles, and even perform some relatively simple tasks, all of these require a certain number of chunin and genin teams.
And when these five village ninjas "garrison" in the Land of Rain, they are under the eyes of the five village coalition forces.
It would be fine if the Amegakure Village just maintained the current scale of ninjas, but if they still wanted to develop their own military force at a high speed with the help of the daimyo's "support" as planned before?
What does the Amegakure Village want? Does Amegakure Village want to threaten the maintenance force? Or does Amegakure Village want to start a ninja war again like Hanzo of the Salamander and counterattack the three surrounding powers?
However, for the sake of the reputation of this neutral country, Yahiko could only tell himself that this was a helpless move.
Seeing that Yahiko remained silent, Kaito continued.
"If the Amegakure Village can join this force, it will not only have a certain impact on it, but also open up a gap in cultivating military forces."
"Well, if Nagato can really join the maintenance force in the end. Yahiko, I will teach you the Fire Style: Sunny Day ninjutsu under the pretext of improving the weather in the garrison."
Kaito finished speaking, Yahiko had no reaction, but Nagato stood up.
He looked at Kaito with a face full of surprise.
"Sunny day! Is that the jutsu that can change the weather?!"
Yahiko reacted instantly when he heard Nagato's words, his eyes also full of expectation.
No wonder the two had such a big reaction.
The fact that Kaito, the Mizukage, has the ability to control the weather has long been no secret among the top leaders of various ninja villages in the ninja world.
Fog, snowfall, hail, rainstorm, sunny day.
It seems that no matter what the scene is, this Mizukage can create a more favorable combat environment for himself.
Yahiko and Nagato don't care much about the other weather conditions.
But the "Fire Style: Sunny Day" ninjutsu is too important for the Amegakure Village. It is different from the Kirigakure Village.
Although the Kirigakure Village is shrouded in fog all year round, the impact of humid weather on the villagers is still within an acceptable range, and this layer of fog can also be regarded as a natural barrier.
Therefore, the Kirigakure Village only has a dispensable attitude towards the matter of dispelling the fog.
But the Amegakure Village, or the Land of Rain, has been rainy for years, which has seriously affected people's livelihood.
Agriculture is restricted, traffic is jammed, buildings are damaged, diseases are spread, economic development is frustrated, and there are countless harms.
It can be said that the backward development of the Land of Rain is half due to the long-term war, and the other half is due to the rainy weather that hangs over the Land of Rain all year round.
Now Kaito is willing to teach his unique ninjutsu that can create sunny days to the Amegakure Village. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has saved tens of millions of people in the Land of Rain.
How can it be possible if Nagato or Yahiko don't know that Kaito's ninjutsu can help the Amegakure Village?
Kaito hangs a sun in the sky of the Kirigakure Village whenever he has something to do. Nagato has been envious and almost drooling.
But it is precisely because of this.
This trick may not have any effect on Kaito himself, but it is too restraining to the Kirigakure Village's signature "Hidden Mist Jutsu", and it is even more restrained than the various wind-style ninjutsu that are recognized by the ninja world.
As a member of the Kirigakure Village, Nagato has never been able to speak to Kaito about this matter.
Now Kaito actually took the initiative to agree to teach.
Nagato hurriedly winked at Yahiko, signaling him to agree quickly.
Kaito smiled and reminded him.
"Don't be too happy too soon. The prerequisite for teaching ninjutsu is that Nagato can join the maintenance force as Amegakure, and I will only teach you two. If you want to pass on this ninjutsu to outsiders, you must get my consent."
However, after hearing this, Yahiko's excitement did not cool down at all. On the contrary, because he heard that Nagato could also learn it, he nodded hurriedly.
"Agree! I agree!"
After saying this, Yahiko seemed to feel a little guilty towards Kaito, and continued to add.
"If the ninjas of Amegakure can join the maintenance force, all actions will be under the leadership of Mizukage-sama!"
