After returning to the city and sending someone to collect Dangdu's body and conduct a preliminary examination, the autopsy found a letter on his body.

Kannaten recalled Dangdu's memories and found that it was a letter handed to him by Yuhuang before leaving, and the recipient was Kannaten himself.

According to God's original plan, he entrusted Dangdu, a monk with a small reputation in Tokaido, to act as an intermediary, convey the opinions of both sides, and by the way, discuss it in the name of a private person, and if possible, it is also convenient to steal information about Kannaten. It's a pity that that guy is so arrogant that he wants to use Kannatian's head as a vote, so that he dies.

Opening the envelope, Kannaten began to read the contents of the letter, and as he looked at it, his eyebrows raised.

"Location in the country of Vortex, what are you kidding!"

The letter stated that the leader of the Court of Silence, codenamed "God", had an appointment with Kannaten to meet with the Vortex Nation to discuss the means of negotiation between the two sides. Of course, this is a euphemism, and to put it mildly, the Court of Silence has set up a battlefield in the Land of Vortex, waiting for Kanna's victory.

This is definitely not in line with Kannatian's plan, after all, no matter how confident a hunter is, he will not venture into an unknown environment to fight his prey.

The upcoming "Kannatian game", but he is not allowed to take even one step back, that is, he must have a perfect chance of winning, which not only requires Shennatian's strength to be superb, but also needs to use Xiao Nan and others to create the advantage of the field in advance, once the situation changes, launch a super-large range of enchantments, and launch an explosion that can be called the ultimate bomb, killing all the enemies present!

Therefore, Kannaten quickly wrote a reply, rejecting God's proposal and making it clear that he had to decide the location of the battle, otherwise he would not hesitate to start a full-scale war to destroy the Court of Silence.

The country of the vortex is very close to the current stronghold of Kannaten, the country of the bath, and there is only a small country in the middle - the country of waves, starting from the country of the soup, if the army presses the border, it will take about three days, and the country of the vortex is about to be overwhelmed, and the god thinks that he still has to express his serious dissatisfaction, so he casually ordered a small pawn under Terumi to go to the country of the vortex to deliver a letter.

Delivering a message alone was much faster than the army moving, and within three days, someone from the Silent Court came to visit, or rather, summon Kanaten.

That's right, it's "summoned", because this person's status is very special, although he doesn't hold any official positions and positions, but he can participate in all the current affairs of the water country, he is the strongest of the many sons and daughters of the water country daimyo Daimyo, and he overturned many brothers and sisters to become the current crown prince Igarashi Ren, the man who was given the title of "Prince Ren" at birth, and the future controller of the water country.

Hitoshi Igarashi is a fellow party and pillar of the Court of Silence, which Kannaten has known for a long time, but unexpectedly, the other party will come to see him so openly.

"Lord Kannaten, please move and don't keep Your Highness waiting. ”

Seeing that Kannaten in the hall was deep in thought, Prince Ren's subordinate couldn't help but remind him loudly.

"Well...... Let's go. Kannaten nodded slowly.

No matter what Nitoshi plans to do, no matter what he will say, Kannaten will not let go of the Silent Court, and if an outsider interferes in the ninja game, it will be too boring, and this is something that cannot be changed.

......

To the east of Yunokuni, a small island in the territorial waters of the Land of Water.

"Because of his identity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't set foot in the territory of other countries at will, so the meeting with Lord Kannatian has to be set here, please forgive me. ”

"Ah, that's okay. Kannaten coped with the words of the subordinate officials while looking at the scenery of the island.

This small island is only about one square kilometer, although the area is small, but the island is full of flags, and there is a solemn ironclad guard standing on the side of the temporary carved rocky road, and two sets of tables and chairs are placed a hundred meters away, and a man in civilian clothes sits on the main seat, covering the canopy and laying the carpet below, and a graceful and luxurious atmosphere comes from afar.

"Is it Kanaten?"

The man smiled at Kannato and beckoned him to come over.

"Please. ”

The subordinate officer bowed, waited for Kannatian to go first, followed respectfully, and finally came behind the prince, standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

This is a seemingly ordinary old man, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, two shallow nasolabial folds next to the bridge of his nose, and although his facial features are upright, there is nothing strange about it, but the flag behind him printed with five water droplets always announces to the outside world his identity as the heir of the water country.

Kannato didn't wait to greet him, sat down directly, and asked, "You are the prince?"

"That's right. Prince Ren didn't care about Kanaten's disrespect either, and nodded yes.

"It's not quite what I thought it would be. Kannaten said honestly.

Obviously ridiculous, Prince Ren actually replied seriously: "People are actually the same, with facial features, limbs and brains, beauty or ugliness, they are just appearances, and my appearance is indeed not handsome." ”

"Do you think of yourself like that...... Interesting. Kannaiten said secretly in his heart.

Both of them stopped talking, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and after a few seconds, the subordinate officer coughed awkwardly and said, "Lord Kannaten, I heard rumors that you advocate a ban on gambling, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Kannaten groaned for a moment, and a word came out of his mouth.

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"If it's just gambling, it can only be regarded as a loss of money, but if it's linked to war, then ......" Kannato glanced at his subordinate officials with a smile and said, "It's better to do less to work the people and hurt money, right?"

The subordinate officer nodded, and then asked, "What if it's just simple gambling?"

Kannatian was a little tired of this kind of veiled conversation, and replied coldly: "It depends on the situation, although the nature of the people's spontaneous gambling is not good, but it cannot completely veto this kind of entertainment, so it needs to be guided." And if some people have ulterior motives and use gambling for personal gain, it is a felony, and it is very simple. ”

"I don't really understand, what are you doing this for?" Prince Ren suddenly interjected, "The Ninja Village does not interfere in internal affairs, and the Daimyo's Mansion does not interfere in the war, this is something that the two sides have agreed on as early as the place where the village was built, and your recent behavior has caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied, what is it for?"

Kannaiten sighed and said, "Of course it's a mission, as a ninja, since you have received your salary, you have to solve the trouble for your employer, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any problems?"

Prince Ren was keenly aware that Kannaten was already impatient, so he decisively changed the topic and said, "Then, put this matter aside for the time being and get down to business." I've been observing the contradictions between you and the Court of Silence, as well as the struggles and assassinations between the two of you, and speaking of which, I didn't expect that there would be such an outrageous guy as you in the ninja village, it's really ......"

Kannatian lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't heard of it.

"I've always been strict with myself and don't interact too much with ninjas, for the reason that as I said earlier, ninja villages are not allowed to interfere in internal affairs. Prince Ni raised his head, squinted at the sun, and said slowly, "And you, probably the only ninja in modern times who dares to make contact with the Daimyo's Mansion wantonly, if you don't pick a good time, what the consequences will be, can you imagine?"

Shen Natian laughed and said meaningfully: "This kind of thing, who knows." ”

"A tiger suddenly broke into the lions, and that's probably what happened. Because of curiosity, surprise, unprecedented freshness, and their own unprovoked supremacy, the lions did not attack rashly, but chose to try and contact, and later found that this tiger could help them solve some troubles that were inconvenient for them to solve, so the cooperation began. "But no cooperation can last forever, such as you and the officials of the Daimyo's Mansion, or me and the ......people of the Court of Silence."

"En?" Shen Natian was slightly surprised, and he didn't shy away from it, and asked directly, "What do you mean?

Prince Ni smiled lightly and said, "Are you joking? I? with them? You have to make it clear, Kannaten, how can I say that I am also the prince, including you, in the near future, you will all be one of my subordinates, so I will treat you equally." The Court of Silence was able to help me with some of the chores that allowed them to survive in Tokaido, and you, you guy, are really interesting, and I wanted to see who would win the duel between you and the Court of Silence and decide who would accept my kindness in the future. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

The tone is very arrogant, but this is also expected by Kannatian, the other party is the prince of the country of water, under one person, above millions of people, it is normal for the tone to be big.

"What do you mean...... Probably because you've been using the Silent Court, and now, you still want to use me?" Kannaiten raised his eyebrows, his tone was strange, and he asked tentatively, "The Silent Court has been able to develop from an organization that hides filth and dirt to the current level, and you have contributed a lot to it, right?" It seems that your remuneration will be very high, I am a little interested, say, what do you want, and what can you give me?"

Hearing this, Prince Nito's gaze finally turned back to Kannaten.

"It's not time to talk about this now, wait until you and the Court of Silence decide the winner, but for the sake of fairness, the battlefield will be decided by me, neither the country of the vortex nor a place of your choosing. In addition, the time also needs to be postponed, and if you give the people of Tokaido ten days, it is too short, and if the heavyweights can't all be present, it will inevitably disappoint the audience. So I'm going to step in and take a break from this showdown for a while, and then, when the right time comes, I'll reconvene the fight. ”

"Until then, I will restrain the Court of Silence from plotting assassinations against you or your men, and withdraw from your sphere of influence in exchange, in exchange for not attacking the Court of Silence during this time. ”

"Stopping the fight, not to shake hands and make peace, but to recuperate, to meet the most severe challenges with the strongest attitude, by the way, but also to bring the most enjoyable enjoyment to us audiences, who will fall into the hands of the strongest name of Tokaido, hehe, I am quite looking forward to it......"

It is true that whether it is Kannaten, the Silent Court, or some well-known or latent masters in Tokaido, a considerable part of their energy is spent on ninja wars, and compared to the wars that have affected tens of thousands of ninjas in ten countries, private fights are simply not worth talking about.

If a dueling tournament is held at this time, even if it wins the name of the strongest, it seems a bit unworthy of the name, because many masters will not participate. But if the situation stabilizes and everyone makes time, then the person who wins to the end is the so-called "strongest" who deserves it!
