Chapter 499: Sincerity
"Sincerity?"
The corners of Haruno Sakura's mouth hooked up a sneer, took a step forward, forced her eyes at Lei Ying, and said disdainfully: "Sincerity doesn't mean that you can't fight back and scold back!"
Glancing at the four generations of Thunder Shadow with an ugly face, she said with a straight face: "Lord Thunder Shadow, please understand one thing, this alliance is not Konoha asking for Yun Ninja Village to join the Ninja Village Alliance!"
"On the contrary, it is necessary for your village to join this alliance!" she said slowly, "of course, you can also choose not to join...... However, in that case, do you really think that Yun Ninja Village, which is independent of the Four Villages Alliance, can be left alone, instead of being the first to be pinched to death as a soft persimmon?"
Thunder Shadow's face became more and more gloomy.
"I'm not threatening you with anything. The girl slowed down her tone and said lightly, "Our major ninja villages are now in a state of huddling together to keep warm and survive the crisis together, you need us, and we also need you." ”
"Therefore, the so-called sincerity cannot just be a unilateral effort on the part of Konoha side!"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow Ai took a deep breath.
In this world that admires fists, the strength shown by Sakura Haruno makes him have to pay attention to what she says.
"In other words, we Yunnin also need to fulfill the same commitment as you, let go of our hatred of Konoha and fight the enemy together?"
He asked in a rough voice.
"That's right!"
Sakura Haruno nodded. "It's an alliance, not a vassalage of one side to the other...... In fact, not only the hatred between Konoha and Yun Ren should be put aside, but if the five villages are united, the other ninja villages must also abandon their past grudges, including you Yun Ren and Iwa Ninja!"
"Impossible!" Thunder Shadow glared, waved his hand without thinking, and snorted.
"The blood feud between us and Iwa Shinobi is far from being comparable to that little friction in Konoha!"
Since the end of the First Ninja World War, the two ninja villages have fallen in love with each other for more than forty years.
It is also a mountain ninja village, and the cloud ninja is either elegant and agile, or fierce and tyrannical, while the rock ninja is steady and resolute, which is the opposite.
Similar situations, the geographical location of close neighbors, and completely different personalities make Iwa Shinobi and Yun Shinobi constantly friction, and eventually become the only enemies who can't bear each other!
If the new feud between Yun Ren and Konoha can be let go or forgiven, then the old grudge and blood feud between Yun Ren and Iwa Ren have long been so thick that they cannot be resolved!
"We can accept cooperating with Konoha against the enemy...... But, hand in hand with the Iwa Shinobi, even if I agree, these subordinates of mine will definitely not be able to do this!" Ai's beard blew up, foaming at the mouth, "In the same way, those rock-headed Iwa Shinobi can't let go of their blood feud with us!"
"Times are different, Lord Thunder Shadow. ”
Sakura Haruno said with a cold face.
"Perhaps for your generation, what you said is indeed right. The girl shook her head and said, "However, the ninja world has been quiet for more than ten years before, and for the new generation of ninjas who have grown up in peace, although hatred can be passed on, after all, it is not as unforgettable as after experiencing it firsthand......
Sakura Haruno looked around.
Of course, there are people as young and impulsive as Karui, but ...... More people still exercised restraint after being provoked by her.
"And, in the face of annihilation, when the choice between life and death comes...... No matter how stubborn a ninja is, he will not dwell on the past, but will choose to fight hard and cooperate against the enemy!"
"I believe that the amount of Yun Ninja and Iwa Ninja will not be so narrow. ”
Lei Ying Ai glanced at Sakura Haruno, slowly raised her eyelids, half-squinted her copper bell-sized eyes, and thought silently.
Suddenly.
"Hmph, since Konoha said so, I'll trust you for the time being. He shook his hand sharply and said in a deep voice, "But!"
Lei Ying's eyebrows trembled, his voice was full of threat, and he shouted: "However, if that old thing of the Earth Shadow Two Scales dares to take the opportunity to play any tricks...... Then in the Ninja Village Alliance, there is me without him, and there is him without me!"
Sakura Haruno looked at Ai fixedly, with a solemn expression.
Ai's voice is rough and heroic, even when he speaks calmly, there is a bit of a vicious voice, and when he puts aside the cruel words, it is even more vigorous, like an erupting volcano, which makes people tremble.
But the girl's expression remained unchanged, and her expression remained calm.
For a long time, she smiled.
"Presumably, the three generations of Tsuchikage have made the same promise on the other side of Onoki, right......" Unheard of Thunder Shadow's momentum, Sakura Haruno smiled faintly and said, "As long as everyone doesn't join the alliance with the mentality of stirring up trouble, then there won't be any big problems in the Gomura Alliance." ”
"We can definitely work together to get through this together. ”
"Hmph, don't be in a hurry to say this just yet. Thunder Shadow snorted roughly, waved his hand and said, "You can pass this question, but there is a more important problem!"
"Who will be the leading figure of the Ninja Village Alliance?"
He stood in front of Sakura Haruno.
The difference in height made Ai need to lower her head and shoot her gaze downward to see the girl's cold face.
It's a bit of a top-down look.
Using some small means to increase one's own oppression and the pressure of the other party, so as to force the other party to make some kind of concession, although this trick is cliché, can often achieve miraculous results in many people.
But Sakura Haruno is clearly not among them.
The girl herself is quite a proud character...... Lei Ying Ai's overlook couldn't make her flinch!
"Since Your Excellency Thunder Shadow asked this question, you must have the answer in your heart, right?" the girl said with a straight face, "You might as well say it, I'll listen to it!"
Lei Ying Ai was not modest, and responded with a big grin, saying: "The leader of the coalition army, one of the first conditions is not to be too weak. Otherwise, after two or three blows on the battlefield, he will fall to the ground, which will only cause confusion and demoralization. ”
"Second, you must be born innocently, and the village you are born in must have nothing to do with Xiao, not only is there no special member who defected to Xiao, but you can't have cooperated with Xiao and hired these wanted criminals!"
"The third ......," Lei Ying thought for a moment and said, "As for the third, leave it for now...... Let's stop here!"
Sakura Haruno sneered.
"Four generations of Thunder Shadow, you can simply say that the position of the leader of the coalition is none other than you!"
"Why not?"
Lei Ying waved his hand, and answered as a matter of course, without any modesty on his face.
Tsuchikage Onoki is dying, Kazekage I love Ra's milk stinks yet, and Hokage and Mizukage are two women—in the heart of a man with a bit of machismo, Thunderkage, women are unreliable—so he genuinely thinks he's the right fit.
"You can't help but look down on women too much......"
Sakura Haruno can't agree with such a point of view.
"What's more, the leader of the coalition army may not necessarily be selected from the five shadows. In addition to the Five Shadows, there are many excellent ninjas in each village, and there is no shortage of people with strength and fame, so why always focus on the shadows?"
"I haven't fought a war for many years, and the villages must have cultivated a lot of outstanding young people, right?"
"What do you mean......" Thunder Shadow frowned slightly, "Choose from a new generation of ninjas?"
If this is the case, Konoha's origin will be excluded in the first place, which is also good news.
Ai's mind quickly flipped through the list of outstanding young people in each village. The black soil and loess of Iwa Shinobi, and the Kakashi of Konoha are all people with excellent strategy and outstanding strength. As for the sand ninja, the talent is slightly withered, and the fog ninja is also half a catty. And Motomura Kirabi is strong enough, but his personality is a little ......
However, it seems that it is not stable enough to let this generation be the leader of the coalition and take on such a heavy responsibility.
Lei Ying's mind was racing, and a large number of pictures and materials quickly flashed in his mind, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
"It's just a reminder. Sakura Haruno smiled faintly and said, "As for the leader of the coalition forces, I can't promise you anything here. ”
"This is a matter related to the five ninja villages, even if it is my master Hokage-sama, I can't give you any promises alone! All decisions will be decided by the five ninja villages, and they will be discussed and approved by the five shadows, not one or two ninja villages will be arbitrary and make decisions!"
Thunder Shadow's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be angry because he was flatly rejected by Sakura Haruno.
Sakura Haruno finally said solemnly: "The only thing I can promise you is that no matter who becomes the leader of the coalition army, the fundamental starting point of the Five Villages Alliance is still to help each other in the same boat and tide over difficulties together, rather than beggar-thy-neighbor and sacrifice allies as cannon fodder! If something like that happens, no matter who the leader is, Konoha will be the first to raise objections!"
Silent.
Thunder Shadow's eyes flickered, thinking about something.
Then he burst out laughing!
"Hahaha——!" Ai Zi trembled, laughed a few times, and said, "That's a good point!Haruno Sakura, if you really gave me any promise just now, I will doubt your Konoha intentions in forming the Ninja Alliance!"
"Okay. In that case, as the Thunder Shadow, I will first settle the matter of Yun Shinobi joining the Five Villages Alliance!" he looked down at Sakura Haruno and said loudly, "As for the leader of the coalition forces...... Then make a decision in the next Five Shadows talks!"
Thunder Shadow stretched out his large, thick, bruise-knotted hand.
Sakura Haruno also stretched out her hand with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
One big and one small have two hands, one is thick, strong and rough, and the other is slender and white.
Shake together.
"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
The two of them nodded at the same time.
The cloud ninjas on both sides also bent down in unison and bowed to Konoha represented by the Haruno Sakura.
When Karui realized that he had almost become the culprit of the destruction of the alliance, he was immediately shocked, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
"Karui, go back and think about it behind closed doors for a month!!" Thunder Shadow glared at her and said sharply, "There will be a next time, and it will be more than your knife that will be broken!"
For this kind of vignette, Sakura Haruno didn't mean to pursue it, and when she saw Lei Ying raised it high and put it down gently, she didn't say anything, just smiled and didn't say anything.
After all, she also deliberately provoked ...... To test the attitude of cloud forbearance.
"All right, get up. He first said a word to the cloud ninjas who had been maintaining a deep bow posture on both sides, and then turned his head to look at Sakura Haruno.
"Yun Ren's sincerity has already been partially expressed. He pointed to the Konoha envoys not far behind Sakura Haruno, "So, what about Konoha's sincerity?"
"It's seen. ”
Sakura Haruno smiled slightly.
As she spoke, behind the girl, the lifelike envoys suddenly turned into ice sculptures.
An eagle roared in the air, and a huge ink-colored eagle descended from the sky.
"Secret Technique-Super Beast Pseudo-Painting!"
A member of the real envoy corps, jumped off Sakai's ink beast.
"It's rude, Lord Thundershadow. ”
