"What is this product? It looks quite interesting."
Xiaochun, who was turning over in her dorm, looked at the cylinder that was buzzing and vibrating on the table. She noticed that it was starting to spin on its own as it vibrated. Unable to resist her curiosity, she picked it up. Holding it in her hand, she felt the frequency of the vibration at the head of the cylinder. Suddenly, Xiaochun had a bright idea and put the cylinder on her neck, lower back, and thighs to experience the vibrations.
It was obvious that the massage from this prop pleased Koharu Utatane, and soon she closed her eyes and let out a comfortable moan.
"Phew, not bad. This must be a muscle relaxer and massage aid. It really feels good, no wonder it's selling so well."
Mitokado Homura was very puzzled. "But any maid or servant could do this very well. Why would I need to do it myself? As for its popularity in the ninja world, and how it can be converted into a large number of slaves and resources?"
Xiaochun wouldn't allow anyone to doubt her judgment like that, and immediately spoke up: "Don't say that, this little gadget is very comfortable to use, at least much more powerful than ordinary massage therapists. It's no less skilled than those auxiliary training ninjas who specialize in massage and help people relax their muscles, and most importantly, it's very convenient."
Danzo's expression was a bit strange; his aged, drooping face twitched incessantly. He turned his head away from looking at Koharu's enjoyable expression.
"Actually, this is just a part of the Snow Country's specialty products, the most basic one. There are also some special clothes that come with it, as well as products that they call Snow Country's divine oil. These things are very popular among the wealthy merchants and nobles of the Land of Fire, and the reputation of the Snow Country has even become much more famous in the ninja world because of these products. Judging from your reaction, Koharu, this stuff is indeed very potent. No wonder the nobles and wealthy merchants of the Land of Fire can use it to make their wives, concubines, and maids fly into the sky."
Danzo's words were incoherent and left Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two completely confused. In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to react, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Could this be the flying staff that Jiraiya so highly praised as a blessing to women in his new book, the one that makes countless women's hearts flutter and their souls tremble!"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise, his gaze was fixed on the cylinder resting on Koharu's thigh, a hint of desire in his eyes.
"ah!"
Koharu, immersed in the pleasure of muscle relaxation, didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until several seconds after Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking that she completely connected the words "flying to the sky," "Jiraiya's new book," and "heart-stirring" with the silicone cylinder in her hand. Then, as if she had grasped a branding iron, she violently flung the thing in her hand away.
When Koharu was young, she was quite skilled. With the help of chakra, the cylinder flew with incredible speed, smashing the window of the Hokage's office before disappearing into the distance.
"Ah, the Flying Staff!"
This was Hiruzen Sarutobi's exclamation.
"Wow, there are two!"
This was Danzo Shimura's exclamation.
"They're all a bunch of bastards!"
After throwing her things out, Xiaochun, who was turning over to her dorm, was too ashamed to stay. She angrily uttered a sentence, covered her face, pushed open the door, and hurriedly left.
Koharu's sudden action startled the ANBU guards outside the door. It took a while for Hiruzen Sarutobi to dismiss the guards and return to his office to continue their discussion.
"Let Xiaochun rest for a while. We'll let her know if anything comes up later. Now let's discuss how to handle the situation in the Snow Country."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words eased the awkward atmosphere in the room, and Homura Mitokado spoke first: "The Land of Snow is too far from the Shinobi World, too mysterious. As far as I know, it takes seven or eight days to sail there, and the climate is extremely cold. Under these circumstances, it's really difficult to handle!"
Danzo expressed his disdain, "How much foundation can a small country have? The main force of the Snow Village they established is probably composed of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans. Hmph, white eyes with red eyes, they've certainly put together two evil clans."
"We can't let our guard down. Although we know the whereabouts of the two clans, we don't know the specific details. Moreover, Konoha is not very manpowery right now, making it difficult to fight across such a long distance. Especially Hyuga Kaze's space-time ninjutsu, which is very troublesome."
Compared to Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was much more clear-headed, believing that rashly starting a cross-border war was extremely unwise.
Danzo: "The Root organization has made further progress in their research on the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although we may find it difficult to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, we have developed barrier techniques and sealing techniques to interfere with and detect space-time ninjutsu, and to distort space-time coordinates. Next time, Hyuga Kaze and that mysterious person will not be able to enter Konoha so easily."
Mitokado Yan still had doubts. "That's not a good idea. Once we launch an attack, it must be fatal; we must try to annihilate them all. If even a few of those guys escape, it will cause a lot of trouble later!"
Danzo was very displeased by his old friend's lack of support. He stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked, "Hiruzen, what's your opinion?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with a serious expression. "You just mentioned that these flying beings from the Land of Snow, cough cough, are very popular, converting into a large amount of supplies and slaves. I remember the Land of Snow is very remote, with a harsh climate, and the country itself doesn't have many resources."
I think we should first communicate with the Daimyo and detain those merchants from the Land of Snow, completely cutting off the Land of Snow's supply of goods. Then, issue arrest warrants and bounties for the Hyuga clan on the black market. At the same time, ask the Daimyo to issue a warrant demanding that the Land of Snow hand over the Hyuga and Uchiha clans—these criminals. Without the support of a nation, they cannot survive in the ninja world.
Meanwhile, Root and Anbu must thoroughly investigate Yukigami Village. While those methods are in effect, we must end our border skirmishes with Iwagami and Kumogami Villages and gather sufficient manpower. When the time is right, we will annihilate Hyuga Kaze and his traitors in one fell swoop!
When Hiruzen Sarutobi first spoke, he seemed to have everything under control, but when he mentioned Hyuga Kaze's name, his old face began to contort.
"Good idea. Konoha is indeed not a suitable place to start another war right now."
Mitokado Homura had already spoken up in agreement.
"Let's do it this way for now. In any case, we can't let those evil sinners get away with it!"
Shimura Danzo also had some doubts about Hyuga Kaze's strength, so he could only agree with Sarutobi Hiruzen's suggestion.
Despite reaching a preliminary consensus, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression remained unsettled. He said to Homura Mitokado, "Homura, go and make arrangements. Draft a document and communicate with the Daimyo about the Land of Snow. At the same time, prepare manpower to receive the wealth that the Land of Snow stole from the Land of Fire."
I'll discuss the intelligence gathering arrangements for Yukigami Village with Danzo again.
After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Homura Mitokado nodded lightly and stood up. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and said something.
"Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to be so busy, yet you still have time to read Jiraiya's masterpiece. You truly are a master and disciple of the same lineage."
"Cough cough cough"
Hiruzen Sarutobi had just taken a sip of tea when he started coughing violently.
