Chapter 226: The First Signs

The kingdom of the king, in the palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the past few days, the mood of the famous Izumi Wang Zhengtai can be said to have improved significantly, and the reason for the improvement in mood is naturally the arrival of Qingyang.

Just after Qingyang's deity left the country of Wang with Sakai and Ningji, Qingyang's immortal clone briefly told Shikamaru and Yakumo about the development of things. After knowing that the incident in Wang Zhiguo was so complicated, Shikamaru was also quite a headache. However, this time, Shikamaru was as lazy as before, because after Qingyang's main body left, the immortal clone handed over the command of Wang Zhiguo's side to Shikamaru. This is not only for the sake of exercising Shikamaru, but also because the immortal clone is just a clone in the end, and there is not so much chakra to waste.

And Shikamaru, who took over the command, immediately decided to go to the palace to meet the daimyo directly. This behavior is tantamount to giving Izumi Wang Zhengtai a big reassurance. For the Daimyo, it doesn't matter how many people Konoha comes, as long as Konoha sends people, it means that Konoha hasn't abandoned them yet. In this way, Shikamaru and they moved from Fujibun's official residence to the palace. This decision also invisibly avoided Iwakuin's search in the city. After all, no matter how bold Iwakure was, he wouldn't dare to forcibly search the palace at this time.

After living in the palace, Shikamaru did not sit idle, but after obtaining the permission of the daimyo, he read the letters of the daimyo of various countries in the days before and after the arrival of Iwa Shinobi in Wang's country.

To be honest, the Daimyo Izumi Wang Zhengtai is not incompetent. In such a helpless country, no one else may be better than him. During the period when the situation in Wang Zhiguo was at its most tense, he actively mediated with all parties, tried all means, and used all the diplomatic means at his disposal. This included frequent correspondence with daimyo in various countries. The letters that Shikamaru read were also the letters from this time, and the most carefully read of them was the letter written by the daimyo of the land and fire country to Izumi Wang Shota.

......

"Hoo !!"

After reading all the letters, Shikamaru let out a sigh of relief. Then he closed his eyes and fell into thought. This made Yakumo, who was waiting on the sidelines, swallow back the words that he had originally intended to ask. She didn't know much about the twists and turns of these things between countries, but she also knew that she had better not bother while Shikamaru was thinking.

It took a long time for Shikamaru to reopen his eyes. Stopping to think, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter, Shikamaru, any new discoveries?"

Yakumo asked tentatively at this time.

"Ha, there are naturally a lot of new discoveries, and after reading these letters, I can only say that it is really shocking. ā€

As he spoke, Shikamaru twisted out a few letters from the pile of letters on the table, shook them in mid-air, and then casually threw them in front of Yakumo.

"You can take a look at it too. ā€

Yakumo was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation.

"This ...... It's not good, after all, these are all letters that belong to the national letter level. And the name of Wang Zhiguo is only allowed for you to watch it alone......"

Shikamaru shook his head indifferently.

"Don't worry, there's nothing too confidential here, you can see if you can see what you can see from it. The most interesting of these are the letters. ā€

As he spoke, Shikamaru hooked his fingers to adjust the order of the letters, and then handed them to Yakumo.

"Let's see now. ā€

Yakumo had no choice but to take the letters and read them in the order that Shikamaru had arranged for him. In fact, Shikamaru didn't have a lot of letters in Yakumo's hands. There are only seven letters in total, and the content of each letter is not long, of which four are written by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and the remaining three are all written by the Daimyo of the Land Country to the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wang. It's just that Shikamaru did cross the letters written by these two daimyos when he handed them to Yakumo.

First of all, I opened the first letter: this was written by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and the specific content was to ask what was going on in the trade routes of the Kingdom of Wang, hoping that it would not affect the economic cooperation between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wang.

The second letter was written by the Daimyo of the Land Country, which said that the land country had suffered a lot of losses due to the attack on the trade routes of the country of Wang, and urged the country of Wang to solve the problems that appeared around the country of Wang as soon as possible.

The third letter is still from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, but this time it is a letter from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, saying that if the Kingdom of Fire believes that he cannot guarantee peace between regions, the Land of Fire can provide assistance and maintain peace in the region thoroughly.

The fourth letter was written by the Daimyo of the Land Country, in which the Daimyo of the Land Country used an extremely strong tone to rebuke the Daimyo of the Land Country, criticizing him for not fulfilling his obligations as the king of a country, which led to the situation in the Wang Country region being so erosive. The tone was so strong that it didn't look like a conversation between equal monarchs.

The above four letters are the last few letters of the ultimatum between Izumi Wang Shota and the daimyo of Fire and Earth before Iwa Shinobi forcibly entered the country of Wang. On the third day after the arrival of the fourth letter at the latest, Wang Zhiguo held the so-called multinational meeting of officials stationed in Wang, that is, on that day, Iwa Shinobu used an extremely fast reaction speed to enter Wang Zhiguo and announced the entry of a special control period.

Seeing this, Yakumo already had some feelings, and she continued to look down at that time.

The fifth letter is the first letter written by the Fire Nation to Izumiwang Shota after the incident. In that letter, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire expressed his deep regret and emphasized that he was actively communicating with the Daimyo of the Land Country regarding when the special restrictions would be lifted.

The tone of the letter from the daimyo of the sixth land country has been greatly changed, and the address to Izumiwang Shota in the letter has also been changed to a very close "sister-in-law", talking about the friendship between the two countries, and expressing that with the help of the land country, Wang no Kuni will soon return to normal order.

"Shameless!"

Seeing this, even a girl like Yakumo, who has always had a very light temperament, couldn't help but sigh, and continued to look down patiently.

The last letter was written by the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, in which the Daimyo of the Fire Nation never mentioned the kind of assistance he had once spoken. Instead, there was a lot of talk about respecting regional traditions, and the Fire Nation has never advocated interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Needless to say, it was this letter that extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Izumi Wang Zhengtai's heart.

......

"What do you think?"

After Yakumo read the seven letters, Shikamaru asked with a complicated smile.

"A shameless betrayal, a compromise between large countries that has brought about the destruction of small countries. ā€

Yakumo said expressionlessly, obviously not in a very good mood because of these letters, which reminded her of some bad memories.

"Yes, you summed it up brilliantly. However, the suspicions that followed also appeared: in the northwest of the Ninja Continent, the three main powers are the three kingdoms of wind, earth, and fire, as for the country of thunder and the country of water, which are too far away from here, and the interests in the country of Wang are far less than the above three countries, so they can be ignored for the time being. The Land of the Wind is a staunch ally of our Fire Nation, and its dependence on us has reached a high level. To sum up, the main contradiction of Wang Zhiguo can actually be said to be the contradiction between our country of fire and the country of earth. Then the biggest point appears, the act of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation compromising with the Land Country can be said to be completely betraying our Fire Country's own interests. ā€

Yakumo's head was bowed, and his delicate facial features were also screwed together.

"What the hell is the Daimyo going to do, and what's the benefit of doing that?"

Shikamaru patted his thigh and stood up.

"Maybe we'll have to meet Ambassador Fujibun, and my gut tells me that he hasn't fully pulled out the contents of his stomach yet. ā€
