A few years later.
In the residence of the Country of Thunder's Daimyo, the third generation Thunder Shadow brought his son and a group of followers to meet the Daimyo.
The terrain of the Country of Thunder was dangerous, and Hidden Cloud Village was built in the mountains. This made the ninjas living in the Country of Thunder, including the civilians, look very tough.
The Country of Thunder's name wasn't out of the ordinary, and it was completely different from the Country of Fire's name, which had always been noble.
At this moment, he was sitting at the head of the table with one hand supporting his chin as he looked straight at the leader of Hidden Cloud Village, who was supported by the Country of Thunder.
"Did I hear wrongly, Thunder Shadow? Did you just say that you want the Country of Thunder to increase the annual military expenditure of Hidden Cloud Village by 30%?”
"You didn't hear the name wrong. If possible, I hope to increase it by 50%!”
"Don't go too far, Thunder Shadow. No one's money comes from the wind. Give me a reason to convince me.”
"The war is about to begin."
The 3rd generation Thunder Shadow said the most terrifying words in a calm tone.
Not long ago, the Dark Group of Hidden Cloud Village had brought him news that Sanin's third generation Windshade had gone missing, and it was confirmed news.
In the past few years, there had been constant unrest in Ninja Realm. There had been friction at the borders of the five Ninja Villages from time to time, and they were just short of igniting a catalyst to detonate the entire Ninja Realm.
The disappearance of the third generation Windshade was undoubtedly a good catalyst. Hidden Cloud Village had to be prepared.
"No, this reason is not enough.”
" Then what is enough?!"
The third generation Thunder Shadow slammed the table angrily. The relationship between the village and the country was like the death of lips and teeth.
If Hidden Cloud Village lost the war, the Country of Thunder wouldn't be doing any better. The other five kingdoms would definitely take advantage of the situation. He didn't believe that the Country of Thunder wouldn't understand such a simple logic.
"It's not impossible to increase the military expenditure, but the prerequisite is that what can the Country of Thunder get?”
The Country of Thunder's name was still indifferent, as if they were already used to the rudeness of these rough men from Hidden Cloud Village.
"The Country of Thunder's military budget for the Hidden Cloud Village increases every year, but the Country of Thunder doesn't seem to have any substantial gains.”
"During the First and Second War of the Ninja Realm, the Country of Thunder did its best to support the Hidden Cloud Village, but what did the Hidden Cloud Village bring to the Country of Thunder?”
The name of the Country of Thunder was lightly tapped on the table.
"If the next war ends up like the first and second Ninja World War, the Country of Thunder won't increase the Hidden Cloud Village's military budget at all.”
At this point, Third Generation Thunder Shadow understood that the Country of Thunder wanted him to sign a military pledge.
The Country of Thunder was a martial country, and their military strength had always been ranked at the forefront of the five great Ninja Villages. However, Hidden Cloud Village was not the final victor in the two Ninja Realm wars, and the benefits they brought to the Country of Thunder were limited.
They were already beginning to feel dissatisfied!
"We will bring more land and resources to the Country of Thunder!”
The third generation Thunder Shadow spoke. His tone wasn't heavy, but it was loud and clear.
"How?"
"Perfect Human Pillar Strength. The eight-tailed Human Pillar Strength ratio and the two-tailed Human Pillar Strength You Mujin have already completed the cultivation of controlling the tailed beasts. In this war, our Hidden Cloud can participate in the battle with two tailed beasts without any scruples.”
"In addition, I will resign from the position of the third generation of Thunder Shadow and recommend my son to inherit the name of Ai!”
"Oh?" The Thunder Country's daimyo's gaze turned to Fourth Generation Thunder Shadow," He's really young. Do you think he has the ability to lead Hidden Cloud?”
"I know Ai's ability better than anyone else. I'm very relieved that he'll be the next Ai. Don't underestimate the name of Yun Yin. The ninjas of this generation are beyond your imagination.”
"It's not just Aihebi. You Muren, Xi, Samyi, Mabu Yi, Darui, and the others all possess extraordinary ninja abilities.”
"Even if you put it that way, you should understand, right? Third generation Thunder Shadow, hearing is false, seeing is believing.”
The Country of Thunder still didn't relent.
If these people were really as outstanding as Thunder Shadow said, the Country of Thunder might as well invest in them.
However, he had heard such words too many times over the years. He did not want to be fooled by Hidden Cloud like an idiot.
" That's it then. After we return, Hidden Cloud will hold a Chunin examination. I'll use my name to invite Koba, Iwakigami, Gogurin, and Sanin to participate. If Hidden Cloud's ninja wins, Hidden Cloud's annual military expenditure will increase by 30% during the war.”
"Then we'll do as you say. If we win, the Thunder Country will fully support Hidden Cloud during the war and increase their military expenditure by 30%. If you lose, don't ever mention the military expenditure in front of me again.”
The Country of Thunder's Daimyo was swift and decisive. Seeing that the discussion was over, he stood up and left.
The third generation Thunder Shadow did not stay and left with his men.
"Old man, are you serious?"
"You mean in that aspect?"
"All of them, be it me inheriting the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow or the Chuunin exam!”
"Ah, of course I'm serious."
The third generation Thunder Shadow stopped and turned to look at his son with satisfaction in his eyes.
The growth of the fourth generation Thunder Shadow had exceeded his expectations. Whether it was in terms of strength or leadership ability, he had already reached the point where he could bear the name of " Shadow."
Since that was the case, he had nothing to worry about.
"I'll leave the village to you in the future. As for me, I'll do my best to deal with the third battle of the Ninja Realm.”
"I understand, Father!" Thunder Shadow the Fourth was not an indecisive person. He immediately agreed and asked," What about the next Chuunin exam?"”
"Let the wooden man go."
"However, the training of the wooden puppet is not complete yet.”
"It doesn't need to be completed completely. Don't look at human pillar strength with ordinary eyes. In Genin, no one is a match for the wooden puppet.”
The strength of a human pillar was still the strength of a human pillar. Although he could not completely transform into a tail beast, as long as he could borrow a little of the tail beast's strength, it was enough to destroy the world.
"I know!"
"In addition, arrange for Xi and Samuyi to participate. I won't allow them to fail the Chuunin assessment this time.”
"Yes, sir!"
