Shadow Stream of Leaf

"Then, the purpose of my coming to Daming City, I believe Lord Daming has already guessed it - not just to report to you the battle between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, but more importantly, to invite you to participate in the next treaty signing ceremony After all, such a formal treaty between countries must be approved by the head of state.

However, although the front line has settled down now, there are still dangers, so the invitation to the daimyo is just a name. For the sake of safety, it is not necessary for the daimyo to attend in person. I suggest that the daimyo send a plenipotentiary representative to attend the signing ceremony. Can. "

Afterwards, Hanyu explained to Daimyo his intention of coming here.

Of course, it's not just for running errands. After all, Hanyu must be regarded as a ninja with status.

And these words made the daimyo think, he didn't respond immediately, and after waiting for a while, he said, "Where is the signing location of the peace agreement, does Master Hanyu know?"

"Because the default position is that both parties are equal, the location of the contract can only be the 'neutral area' outside the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Water. The location initially determined is the island of the Old Vortex Kingdom. If there is no accident, it should be It's right there." Hanyu said like this.

According to him, the arrangement of this location sounds "fair" at first glance, but in fact, the country of the vortex is considered a fart neutral area.

Not to mention that the Uzumaki Clan in the Uzumaki Country has been "colluding" with Konoha before, and more importantly, the third generation of Mizukage will definitely show up at the next signing ceremony, and... bring Mizukage to the Uzumaki Country Come? This is for fear that the other party will forget the good memories of the previous period.

Although the third generation of Hokage who arranged this kind of thing has always looked like a good guy, his heart is really dark.

"Really, in that case, I think I will personally participate in that ceremony...Although it is a test for me to leave the land of the land of fire and face the ninjas of the enemy country, there are dangers, but if Master Hanyu is present If so, I think my safety must be fine.

And I'm not afraid of Mr. Hanyu's jokes. The reason why I decided to participate in the ceremony was not because I had that kind of courage. I must have anxiety... The main reason is that participating in such activities will help increase my prestige After all, Master Hanyu is very clear about how I came to be a daimyo. "

The daimyo in front of him is a "half-way monk" no matter what, he is not orthodox enough, so he not only needs Konoha's support, but also values ​​his own prestige.

"Surrendering an enemy country is the highest honor for a king of a country, not to mention winning a war in such a short period of time... This is very helpful to further consolidate my position, so I will participate in the ceremony."

Daimyo's words are very sincere, even with a feeling of confiding in his heart, regardless of whether this feeling is deliberately created by him, in short, it can prove that he is a person with a lot of emotional intelligence.

It can only be said that the former daimyo died well.

Of course, the reason why he can honestly say these things to Hanyu is because Hanyu is a ninja, and there is no hindrance or conflict with the daimyo at all—the daimyo knows very well what the ninja needs, and as long as the two sides keep their lines, they will naturally meet each other. Anhao, and even easily get the support of the other party.

"No, it's admirable that Daimyo-sama can face the enemy head-on, and I can guarantee that as long as I'm there, no one will be able to harm Daimyo-sama."

Hanyu...he lied, he was just trying to say something nice.

If the daimyo attends the signing ceremony, it will indeed make the agreement more official, but if something happens at the ceremony, who can guarantee that he will be intact? Hanyu himself may belch at any time... For ninjas, assassinating a person is a An easier task than protecting a person, because they are always weapons used to attack, not props used to defend.

Once the daimyo has an accident during the ceremony, Konoha's reputation will be rotten in an instant, and the trust of the Fire Country in this village will also drop sharply, but... who cares, Konoha's reputation is already stinky enough anyway .

But no matter what, it is commendable courage for an ordinary person like Daimyo to go to the front line, and Hanyu will naturally try his best to ensure his safety... Conversely, the ruler does not even take any risks to maintain his rule If Ken, isn't that trash?

The current Nikubo daimyo of the Land of Fire is obviously not a waste, he is a smart political figure.

After talking about the formal matters, the daimyo arranged a banquet for Hanyu, and this banquet was not ceremonial, it was a kind of hearty and enthusiastic... well, it was a "family banquet".

Even the daimyo arranged for his relatives to serve tea.

"Master Hanyu, let me introduce you. This is my youngest daughter, and her name is Nayuki." Daimyo introduced his daughter like this.

The other party looked very young, and dressed in white, she looked dignified and noble. From the perspective of appearance, "Snow" is a very suitable name... From the perspective of daimyo, she must be regarded as the country of fire Princess, oh, it should be called "Ji" here.

Her Royal Highness bowed to salute, so Hanyu also had to return the salute, and then the other party shyly withdrew from the banquet, as if he really only came to serve tea.

Well, she is indeed a very beautiful person, but Hanyu does not think it is strange, it is strange that a person of this status is an ugly monster, but... Her Royal Highness is light and soft, but in Hanyu's eyes, she looks very like a person who can break at the touch of a touch. The porcelain, she is too thin.

"Speaking of which, I haven't understood what Master Hanyu's life is like?" After chatting for a while, Daimyo asked seemingly unintentionally.

Well, Hanyu has to be considered a very important figure in Konoha now, and he is still very young.

"Me? It's a common situation for ninjas in private.

Most of the parents of ninjas are ninjas, so they often die early, and I am no exception, but luckily I met the right person a few years ago and got married, but I still have no offspring..."

Hanyu began to make up things sincerely, but obviously meant something.

"...

Yes, both I and Fire Nation should be grateful for the sacrifices of Konoha ninjas. "The daimyo said regretfully, but he didn't know exactly what he was regretting.

Hanyu also nodded sadly, mourning for the misfortune suffered by the ninja and himself.

So what is the difference between the previous generation of daimyo and this generation of daimyo? One is always thinking about pulling people from Konoha, and the other is actively plugging people into Konoha, even the princess - one deserves to die early, and the other can become a wise and long-lived monarch.

Well, I was able to silently push away the "gift" that came to my door, on the one hand because Hanyu is a person of noble character, and on the other hand because he didn't want to be beaten to death so early.

…………

Half a month later, the official signing ceremony held in the country of vortex began.

The representative of Fire Country is the monarch Daimyo and Konoha East Front Commander Hanyu, while the representative of Water Country is Water Country Daimyo and Kirigakure's third generation Mizukage.

The ceremony was very solemn. The daimyo and his party came to the country of the vortex in a gorgeous huge boat, and the monarch himself also put on the most formal, solemn and cumbersome attire.

On the side of the fire country daimyo, Hanyu is one step behind on the right side of his body, a secretary is on the left side, and behind him are twenty guardian ninjas, all of them are from Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi Such a well-born ninja.

Compared with strength, the "noble" origin of the guardian ninjas is more important.

All potential safety hazards have already been investigated layer by layer, and there is no way to hide any traps under the white eyes—the main reason is that there is absolutely no need to play tricks this time, even if someone wants to interfere with this peace talks, it will only be Konoha With a third party other than Hidden Fog.

A group of people walked up the steps one by one, and then came to a flat high platform, where a super wide table was placed, and the people of Kirigakure had already arrived one step ahead-the other party also had the same number of people.

It is worth mentioning that this high platform was slightly modified from the large-scale earth dungeon used by someone before, and thanks to Mizukage, it was able to sit here.

The ceremony was very formal, but it was meaningless. The secretary brought by the Fire Nation daimyo began to read out the contents of the peace agreement one by one. After the reading was finished and both parties had no objections, the representatives of the two countries had to sign their names on it. , Affix your own seal.

Of course, there will be no objections, because the content of the agreement has been negotiated long ago.

The daimyos of the two countries will have some boring politeness, but the daimyo of the country of fire is very calm, after all, he is the winner. As for the daimyo of the country of water, although his manners are not lost, only he knows whether he is holding on and whether he has felt humiliated.

During this period, Hanyu kept staring at Mizukage to prevent him from suddenly getting angry, but from the beginning to the end, this person was as calm as water, not even a trace of resentment was revealed in his eyes.

After signing their names and then exchanging credentials, the peace agreement will come into force.

Hanyu was a little puzzled, there was no accident in the middle, it was strange, shouldn't it? The daimyos who had a lot of ostentation slowly retreated from the Uzumaki country, but for some reason, Hanyu felt a little unsatisfied.

But no matter what he thinks, the result has not changed...

In the new year, and only ten months after the war actually broke out, Konoha and Kirigakure reached a new peace situation.

Such a high war efficiency was something no one expected before the war started. However, the advantage on the Eastern Front did not directly affect the situation on the Western Front, and Kirigakure's failure did not shake the determination of the other Dainin villages to fight.

Although Konoha has something unique, but Kirigakure only got hit because of their cerebral palsy, and now that someone is helping them out, why worry about it next? You just need to be careful... the other big ninja villages think so.

"We must be smarter than Kirigakure", this is the arrogance rooted in the deepest heart of human beings, and everyone will think so before bad things really happen.
