Naruto: Are you worthy of being called Sage Mode?

Hoshikage's complaint gave Nara Shikaku a headache. The intelligence department had sent back the news that Hiruzen Sarutobi had indeed taken the star.

Not only that, he also went to the Takumi Ninja Village and bought all of Takumi Ninja's collection of rare minerals.

After all, it had been two months since Sarutobi Hiruzen refined the flying sword in the volcano, and the news had already spread back to Konoha.

In this regard, the village chief of Takunin Village also wrote a letter, in which he was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's behavior of buying and selling by force.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to buy it, but they didn't dare not sell it!

However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Third Hokage, got into trouble outside, and people came looking for him, they had to wipe his ass.

Although Nara Shikaku had a headache, what he was thinking was that it was better to go out and harm other people's villages than harm his own!

Konoha's development has been rapid during this period. Without the elder group, Konoha's overall efficiency has become much faster.

Although the major ninja clans are not of the same mind, the current Uchiha is extremely involution, and these ninja clans can only be forced to get involved with the Uchiha.

But no matter how he compares, he can't compare to Uchiha.

Orochimaru actually didn't care about the Star Ninja Village, but the Takumi Ninja Village interested him very much.

Although the Country of Craftsmen is not big, it produces a lot of ninja tools. However, the Craftsman Ninja Village knows how to protect itself wisely. On the surface, it has always claimed that the ninja tools produced every year are equally divided among the major ninja villages.

But in fact, you produce so many ninja tools a year, who knows how many are made?

And the transportation cost of ninja tools is also different.

The transportation cost is the highest in the Earth Kingdom, and the transportation costs in Konoha and Water Kingdom are relatively low.

Even if it is divided equally among the major countries, it is actually not fair at all.

If Konoha can take over the Craftsman Country, then the supply of ninja tools in the major ninja villages will definitely be greatly affected.

Even if these ninja villages start to refine their own ninja tools, there will definitely still be a certain gap between the quality and the country of craftsmen.

"There is no problem in letting your ninjas come to Konoha to study, but the Star Ninja Village must become Konoha's ally."

Orochimaru's tone was a bit noncommittal, and he didn't even look at the star shadow in front of him.

He was thinking about whether to take Itachi to the Ryuji Cave with him. After all, Jiraiya had already taken Uchiha Shisui to Mt. Myoboku, and Uchiha Shisui, the Uchiha, had already been recognized by Mt. Myoboku.

Uchiha's personality is really not like a Uchiha, which is normal to be recognized by Miaomu Mountain.

And the teachings during this period of time made Uchiha Itachi gradually develop into a scientific madman.

At the same time, Orochimaru also accepted another disciple, Yakushi Kabuto.

It also increased investment in orphanages and expanded the scale of the orphanages.

After all, as long as these orphans are cultivated, they will become the backbone of Konoha, and there is no doubt about their recognition of Konoha.

"No problem! The Star Ninja Village is happy to become an ally of Konoha!"

Orochimaru's words almost made Hoshikage smile crookedly. He wanted to be an ally with Konoha!

However, he was happy a little too early. Orochimaru was not the Hiruzen Sarutobi he once was. His pleasant appearance towards Konoha's ninjas could not change the fact that he regarded human life as nothing.

"The alliance I mentioned is just a rhetoric, can you understand?"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Xingying with cruelty and disdain in his eyes.

He really didn't take the small Star Ninja Village and the Bear Country in his eyes. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped out their village, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Lord Godaime, what do you mean?"

Why doesn't Hoshikage understand what Orochimaru means? Lord Leng’s name is indeed well-deserved! But he would definitely not be willing to let the Star Ninja become a subsidiary of Konoha and be annexed by Konoha.

"The Star Ninja Village exists in name only and accepts Konoha's control. It's that simple."

Orochimaru was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hoshikage, and spoke his intention in a hoarse voice.

Jiraiya next to him frowned, feeling that Orochimaru was a little too extreme.

Wouldn't it have a bad impact on Konoha's image if we treat other ninja villages like this?

Jiraiya was most deeply influenced by his former third generation. He had a soft heart and was somewhat indecisive.

Orochimaru has a real heart of stone, and there are only so many things that can touch him.

Continuously growing Konoha's power can help him better explore the road to immortality.

Just like now, with Uchiha's permission, studying the Kaleidoscope openly, how could it be possible without the identity of Hokage?

What's more, Konoha has something he wants to protect.

And this Star Ninja Village actually had a conflict with Sarutobi Hiruzen? It is an honor for them that their teacher wants their star!

To some extent, Orochimaru is also a soft-hearted person.

The wood leaf collapse plan is just too disappointed, giving his teacher a hero's funeral.

After hesitating for a while, Xingying struggled internally and finally made a decision.

"Okay, but the name of Xing Ren Village needs to be retained."

Without Hoshi, the Hoshi Ninja Village has ceased to exist in name only. In fact, if you cooperate with Konoha, you will inevitably be managed by Konoha, but Orochimaru did not hide it and told the truth directly.

"No problem, let's go talk to Shikaku."

Orochimaru didn't want to participate in the specific details at all, and directly let Hoshikage and Nara Shikaku discuss the specific details.

Only Orochimaru and Jiraiya were left in the Hokage's office.

"Dashe Wan, isn't it good to threaten other people's villages like this?"

Jiraiya still couldn't hold back and expressed his inner thoughts.

"Jiraiya, it's just a small star ninja village, there's no need to care so much."

Orochimaru really didn't care about the Star Ninja Village, but his noncommittal attitude made Jiraiya a little angry.

"Oshemaru, you will regret it!"

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Orochimaru replied to Jiraiya smoothly.

"Jiraiya, I am the Hokage."

Jiraiya:?

However, Orochimaru immediately realized that he was not Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Jiraiya was also not Danzo.

Orochimaru is still very patient when dealing with his teammates.

"To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to ourselves. Should we let them come to Konoha to learn ninjutsu and then fight against us in the future?"

"Even if I don't explain the matter clearly, the star ninja will slowly become our vassal under the supervision of ANBU in the future. It's better to explain the matter clearly."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

If you think about it carefully, Orochimaru's words seem to make sense.

"I thought it was too simple..."

"It's okay, you still have a lot to learn in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their bond deepened...

It's just that Jiraiya always felt that something was not right.
