Hanzo didn't know the plan of Sunagakure Village. At this time, he was looking at the agreement from the three great ninja villages in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Madara, you Uchiha clan raise ninja crows for communication, right?" Hanzo suddenly said to Uchiha Madara beside him.

Madara was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "That's right."

"That's it." Hanzo thought for a while and said, "Now spread the news to the village and let them study how to use the funds."

Money itself is just a pile of paper. For the village, only when the money is used for construction can it have the greatest impact. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade.

Madara obviously also understood this truth, nodded and said: "I understand."

After saying that, he channeled a ninja crow.

After the message was sent, Hanzo said to Genji and Madara: "You should also go back and rest for a while."

…

The short lunch break passed quickly, and in the afternoon, the Five Shadows returned to the venue of the Five Shadows Conference again.

While Yamamoto Shigekuni was saying those useless words, Hanzo's eyes were also secretly scanning the four figures sitting on his left and right.

Except for Feng Ying, the other three figures looked very relaxed on their faces.

It goes without saying that obtaining tailed beasts is the most important goal of the three major ninja villages participating in the Five Kage Tournament this time.

Now that this goal has been achieved, even though it cost a lot, it is still worth it in their eyes.

However, their goal was achieved, but Hanzo's goal was not.

For Konoha, distributing tailed beasts is just a convenience. For this Five Kage Conference, Konoha's most important purpose is to build a diplomatic system for the five major ninja villages that is beneficial to Konoha.

Although the five major ninja villages are said to be military institutions, in fact, in a sense, they represent the "country" of ninjas.

For a country, diplomacy involves nothing more than politics, economy, culture, ideology, military, etc.

If Hanzo wants to establish a diplomatic system that is beneficial to Konoha, he must gain a dominant position in these aspects.

In the memory of Hanzo's previous life, a certain Free Lighthouse national master used financial, monetary and oil hegemony to squeeze the wool of the world.

Unfortunately, Konoha cannot learn from this method.

Because in the ninja world, the whole world uses the same currency...

Moreover, in addition to this, the ninja world currently does not have a certain resource status that can reach the level of oil in his previous life.

But in fact, Konoha does not need such troublesome operations.

At present, the Fire Nation occupies a dominant position in the trade activities of the ninja world, such as iron smelting, ninja tools, etc., including food, clothing, housing, transportation and many other aspects. Other countries are completely unable to compare with the Fire Nation.

If the military power of the ninja world was not dominated by ninjas, in another technological dimension, other countries would be just economic colonies of the Fire Nation.

Therefore, financially speaking, Hanzo does not need to put any thought into it.

In terms of ideology and culture, Hanzo has already instilled his ideas into the other four major ninja villages. Whether they can bear fruit depends on Konoha's subsequent development and operations, so there is no need to worry about this aspect.

So the key lies in politics and military affairs.

As Yamamoto Shigekuni finished his opening remarks and sat back in his seat, Hanzo gradually became convinced.

"Everyone."

Hanzo was the first to speak: "This time I, Konoha, propose to convene the Five Kage Conference because I want to establish a diplomatic system belonging to our five major ninja villages.

In this way, no matter who has any demands, they can raise them through diplomacy, and if any friction occurs, they can also rely on this system to seek a peaceful solution to avoid conflicts."

Hanzo's voice was calm, but it attracted all the thoughts of the four shadows.

To be fair, Hanzo wanted a diplomatic system to benefit Konoha and stabilize its status, and the four major ninja villages also wanted a diplomatic system to restrain Konoha, lest Konoha would get a beating if they didn't like him.

Therefore, Hanzo's words are still very attractive to the Four Shadows.

Kazekage was the first to respond and said: "This is what it should be. The daimyo also have a similar system to solve problems. As the representatives of the ninja world, we, the five major ninja villages, should naturally follow suit."

After the Kazekage finished speaking, the Mizukage Raikage and others also echoed one by one. After the Tsuchikage was silent for a moment, he asked: "May I ask, Lord Hokage, what kind of diplomatic system does Konoha plan to build?"

The Tsuchikage's question brought out everyone's thoughts, and the four shadows focused their attention on Hanzo again.

Hanzo talked eloquently: "I also said yesterday that as the first Hokage, I hope that the five great ninja villages can develop peacefully and make the villages better and better. In this case, this diplomatic system needs to be improved in terms of war and military affairs.

Out of limits.”

As he spoke, Hanzo stretched out a finger: "First of all, during peacetime, ninjas from each ninja village are not allowed to enter the sphere of influence of other ninja villages without notifying the ninja village in question in advance.

Secondly, in order to avoid resorting to militarism, I think there needs to be a certain limit on the number of ninjas in each ninja village."

"Hokage-sama." As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, Mizukage couldn't help but ask: "What is the limit on the number of ninjas?"

Hanzo smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "I said that limiting the number of ninjas is to avoid militarization. Therefore, the basis for this restriction is two points, one is the population, and the other is financial income."

As he said that, Hanzo looked at Minazuki Arashi and said, "May I ask, Lord Mizukage, what is the permanent population of Kirigakure Village now?"

Hearing Hanzo's question, Minazuki Lan suddenly looked embarrassed.

This issue is already somewhat confidential, and Minazuki Lan really doesn't want to say it in public.

Hanzo looked at Mizukage's hesitant expression and did not force him. Instead, he said: "Since Mizukage-sama doesn't want to say it, I won't force it. Let's take Konoha as an example. The current permanent population of Konoha is just over 80,000.

.”

"hiss……"

As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, the four shadows took a deep breath.

With a population of 80,000, not to mention comparing their own ninja village with Konoha, the Four Shadows even felt that the combined population of their four ninja villages might surpass Konoha.

Hanzo turned a blind eye to the horror and fear in the four shadows' eyes, and just continued: "Konoha's current financial situation is not bad. The village analysis believes that Konoha can afford the maximum number of ninjas without affecting the development of the village.

It cannot exceed one-fifth of the population.”

Then, Hanzo looked at the four shadows calmly and said: "So, I hope that one person from each of the five great ninja villages will be sent to form an inspection team to inspect the specific situation of each village, using population and finance as the main reference factors, and taking into account other situations,

Determine the maximum number of ninjas in each ninja village."
