- Chapter 181 - No More Trees Left, Where Will Your Ashes Fly, Danzo Shimura
Danzo Shimura’s subordinates hid far away.
If they keep drawing blood, they’ll die from blood loss.
Sai: “Sir, the Sand Ninjas use sandworms to draw blood.”
Sandworms?!
Danzo Shimura had heard of these giant beasts in the desert.
Aren’t they pests?
Sai: “The Sand Ninjas have a breeding base specifically for sandworms. They have mastered the method to control sandworms and even use a nomadic approach to manage them, ensuring a continuous blood supply.”
“They draw forty to fifty tons at a time.”
Snap.
The knife in Danzo Shimura’s hand dropped to the ground.
The excitement from earlier instantly turned to ice.
Damn it.
The Sand Ninjas have sandworms for blood supply.
Those creatures eat sand, and consuming cattle and pigs allows them to provide large amounts of blood.
How could we possibly have that much blood resource?
Even with clones.
Cloning costs more than ninja tools.
And it only sometimes works.
Drawing forty to fifty tons of blood would kill many people and many cattle and horses.
Should I chop down the trees in Konoha and create a desert to raise sandworms?!
Despairing, Danzo Shimura had a strange thought.
(In the belly of the Shinigami, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze all expressed their desire to beat Danzo Shimura to death.)
How can Konoha’s leaves dance without trees?
Where the leaves dance, the fire burns eternally.
No more trees, so where will your ashes fly, Danzo Shimura?
Danzo Shimura also thought his idea was absurd.
Is there no way to break the Sand Ninja’s monopoly on ninja tools?
Danzo Shimura would not give up.
I am a man destined to become Hokage.
“Sai, do you have any suggestions?”
“You’ve been with the Sand Ninjas for a long time, you must know a lot.”
Sai, expressionless, spoke like a robot.
“Sir, sandworm blood also has costs.”
“They need to provide food for the sandworms too.”
“We can establish ironworks and ninja tool factories like them, our raw material costs might be higher.”
“But they are in the desert, transportation is more troublesome and costly for them than for us.”
“We are not without ways to compete.”
That’s right!
Danzo Shimura exclaimed excitedly in his hometown dialect.
Yes.
Konoha also has advantages.
Konoha in the ninja world.
Convenient land and sea routes.
Abundant resources and workforce.
We can compete with the Sand Ninjas.
Sai: “Industrial development can also strengthen the village.”
Sai, like Kakashi, introduced the intelligence he recorded about the Sand Ninja village.
Danzo Shimura nodded frequently.
Now I have blueprints and plans.
There is only one thing left.
Convince Tsunade.
Get her to start Konoha’s industrialization.
To compete with the Sand Ninjas.
For this.
Danzo Shimura also sought out Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were also ousted from power.
“You two are also Konoha elders.”
“Now the Sand Ninja village is constantly earning our funds through ninja tools and various goods, then using the funds to strengthen themselves.”
“Can you watch the village decline step by step like this?”
“Look, now Konoha has to work for the Sand Ninja village.”
“This is simply a great shame!”
The cooperation between Tsunade and Muzake also became his reason.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were disciples of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
They had also experienced Konoha’s glory.
Of course, they couldn’t stand Konoha working for the Sand Ninjas.
So, they joined Danzo Shimura in advising Tsunade.
Tsunade was shocked when she saw the factory blueprints and other materials Danzo Shimura presented.
“Did you steal these from the Sand Ninjas?”
Danzo Shimura sneered.
“Hmph, don’t we ninjas do whatever it takes to win?”
“If the Sand Ninja village accuses us.”
“Hokage, if you’re scared, you can use me as a scapegoat.”
“I, Danzo, am willing to sacrifice for Konoha.”
Danzo Shimura spoke righteously.
He knew Tsunade would never use him as a scapegoat.
I am an elder and a great contributor to Konoha.
Tsunade could only smile wryly.
“Alright.”
“Let’s hope Muzake doesn’t react too strongly.”
Muzak had little reaction.
He just sent a notice.
“Your village’s citizen Shinraku Tanuki and another named Sai stole our village’s intelligence. After interrogation, this was determined to be personal behavior, so I decided to sentence Shinraku Tanuki to life imprisonment. Please cooperate in capturing Sai. Notice hereby.”
Danzo Shimura had no attachment to Shinraku Tanuki being sentenced to life imprisonment.
It’s just a tool.
What can’t be sacrificed for the great revival of Konoha?
As for Sai, he doesn’t exist, right?
However, Shinraku Tanuki’s wife, Shinraku Kanry?, took their daughter, Shinraku Sumire, to the Sand Ninja village to find her husband.
Since then, the Sand Ninja Academy had an additional student, Shinraku Sumire.
Although Danzo Shimura and his two companions were far from the center of power in Konoha, they still influenced the village.
Danzo Shimura’s propaganda of the Sand Ninja threat made Tsunade take it seriously.
So when Kakashi, Yamato, and others returned to the village.
Tsunade immediately held a high-level meeting.
To discuss countermeasures.
Tsunade felt chest pain again.
Damn Muzake.
You are bringing me such trouble again.
Industrial production.
It’s such a headache.
For someone who loves gambling, industrialization is a pain.
She looked at Kakashi.
“Kakashi, in your judgment, what will happen if the Sand Ninjas become powerful?”
