Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 182

The Kingdom of Water, in the port on the border

A large ship carrying the delegation from Kirigakure Village docked at the shore.

On the ship, a group of young Kirigakure ninjas were busy doing final inspections.

On the dock, the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura was talking to the leader of the mission, Kirigakure Jounin Ao.

At the end of the Third Ninja War, the Kingdom of Water was defeated on both battlefields and suffered heavy losses, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among some young ninjas towards the village.

The disastrous defeat of the Third Ninja World War broke the myth about the blood mist policy of Kirigakure Village's senior officials, and proved that the ninjas trained by this tradition are not actually that powerful on the battlefield.

The young ninjas headed by Terumi Mei spontaneously formed an organization and actively promoted the Mizukage to reform the village.

Through their efforts, the fourth Mizukage, Goju Yagura, made up his mind to change Kirigakure Village.

Sending a mission to Konoha at the juncture of the establishment of the Ninja Alliance was his first move.

The real purpose is to break the closed-door policy of Kirigakure Village.

"Ao, I'll leave it to you for this trip to Konoha." The fourth Mizukage, Tachibana Yagura, said to Ao, the leader of the mission.

Goju Yagura looks like a child, but is actually not an LSP.

He is a powerful ninja, one of the few jinchūriki in the ninja world who can completely control the tailed beast in his body.

"I obey," Qing answered simply, but his tone was a bit reluctant.

Ao is a veteran Jonin of Kirigakure Village. He believes that he has certain strengths in intelligence, but diplomatic skills are not what he is good at.

"I believe in your ability." Gouju Yagura encouraged, showing great trust in Ao.

However, in fact, Yagura doesn't trust Aotan.

Ao's partner is Jonin Bi, who is a close confidant of the elder "Genshi" and also participated in the mission this time.

The composition of the top management of Kirigakure Village is very complicated. At the head are the fourth generation Mizukage and the elder ‘Genshi’, and below them are the leaders of various blood-stained families such as the Oniden clan and the Kaguya clan.

Among them, the 'Genshi' has the same status as Mizukage, which means that Goju Yagura cannot completely trust Ao's position.

But after the war, the Fourth Mizukage discovered that Kirigakure Village was in a situation where no one could use it.

Although the young people who took the initiative to promote reform were all excellent, Kisame, the oldest member of the organization, was only a teenager and was not suitable to be the leader of the mission.

The Blood Mist Policy seems to have cultivated many elite ninjas, but most of these ninjas were only trained to perform tasks and kill.

This is also the reason why Goju Yagura forcefully passed some reform policies in the chaotic Kirigakure high-level meeting.

Promoting reform in Kirigakure Village is not an easy task. Most of the time, high-level meetings in Kirigakure Village are always wrangling.

Because among the top leaders, Mizukage and the 'Yuanshi', who are the leaders, are currently the most powerful, but they have not reached the level where they can suppress the other forces.

The main reason why the proposal to go to Konoha this time was passed was that Gotachibana Yagura proposed to negotiate to retrieve the seven ninja swords that were taken away by Konoha.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the symbol of Kirigakure Village, and even the top management of Kirigakure Village cannot tolerate the Ninja Swordsman wandering outside.

Night, Konoha Village, Sunagakure Village Embassy

Aoba and Rasa sat opposite each other, chatting in a harmonious atmosphere about the first inauguration ceremony of the Ninja Alliance and the first meeting.

"...The above is the process of the entire ceremony. Does Master Luo Sha have any other suggestions?" Qingye said in a calm tone while wearing his customized mask.

Luo Sha made a gesture of serious consideration, and then replied: "Your village's arrangements are very appropriate. I have no suggestions."

He actually had no idea about the process of the ceremony, even though under Konoha's arrangement, the details of the entire process were full of praise for Konoha.

But this is the power of Konoha as the victorious country and the first alliance leader, and has nothing to do with Sunagakure Village. The primary purpose of Sunagakure Village now is to restore its vitality.

Luo Sha was more concerned about the first alliance meeting held after the ceremony.

His idea was very simple, he just hoped to gain some benefits for Sunagakure Village through this meeting.

At present, what Sunagakure Village needs most is to obtain convincing material trade channels before the year to negotiate with the daimyo of the Land of Wind.

He already had some plans in mind for this.

Luo Sha took the initiative and asked: "As for the trade between Sunagakure Village and Konoha mentioned last time, I wonder if your village has reached a conclusion after discussing it."

His expression also appropriately showed a certain eagerness.

Generally speaking, this kind of urgency is not conducive to subsequent negotiations.

However, Luo Sha believed that there was no problem in this. Luo Sha was sure that the information about Sunagakure Village would be difficult to hide from Konoha, and his calmness would not bring him any real bargaining chips.

"Konoha is indeed interested in providing some assistance to our allies' difficulties." Aoba hinted calmly.

For allies, Konoha is of course willing to trade, but the prerequisite is that Sunagakure Village becomes Konoha's ally.

"Lord Koala, you might as well explain it clearly." Luo Sha asked politely. In fact, he already knew Aoye's conditions in his heart.

Qingye has already held talks with Huang Tu to confirm the cooperation between the two villages.

Yanyin Village and Sand Hidden Village are currently in an alliance. When it comes to Sand Hidden Village's transactions, Huangtu synchronized some information to Luo Sha without hesitation.

"Konoha plans to cooperate with Iwagakure Village to block the trade routes of the Kingdom of Thunder, and undertake all orders from Kumogakure Village to Sunagakure Village." Aoba no longer concealed his purpose.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Loess, Aoba felt that there was no need to go around too many circles with Rasa. In the talks between Aoba and Rasa, there was actually no need to go around too much.

Unless there is information asymmetry, it is difficult to mislead the other party through words and techniques.

As long as you grasp the goals of yourself and the other party, straightforward communication will be more effective.

"I hope this deal can start before the year." Luo Sha put forward his request.

This time point is very important for Sunagakure Village. The conflict between Sunagakure Village and the daimyo of the Land of Wind must be resolved at this year's end.

Either the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind compromises, or Sunagakure Village starts to change its daimyo.

It is impossible for Sunagakure Village to compromise with the daimyo.

"Konoha can agree to this request." Aoye thought about it based on the information and knew what Luosha was thinking. Then he thought about the thoughts of Konoha's senior officials and nodded in agreement.

The main purpose of Konoha's top management in Aoba's plan is to force Kumogakure Village to bow its head to end the war, and at the same time, rely on the victory of this war to determine its absolute dominance.

The economic benefits brought by the order from the Kingdom of Thunder are only incidental.

Everyone in Konoha does not care that Sand Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village will gain certain benefits from this. The restoration of the two villages cannot be achieved in a year or two.

"Then Sunagakure Village is willing to become an ally of Konoha." Rasa readily agreed.

In fact, it's okay for him not to be happy. He knows that Sunagakure Village is currently the absolutely disadvantaged party in any negotiation with Konoha.
