The northern frontier of the Land of Rain.

As the two people with the highest status in the northern front of Yuyin Village at this time, Long Yu and Shi Yu did not participate in the negotiations on the first day, but first sent their subordinates to explore the negotiation goals and bottom line of the Taki Ninja.

At this time, after listening to the reports of his subordinates, Long Yu and Shi Yu glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of solemnity.

Long Yu spoke first and said, "It seems that Takiyin is going to eat us this time." ”

Shi Yu nodded, his eyes turned, and he thought about it and said slowly: "After all, the background and power of Takiyin Village are much stronger than ours, and the judgment of the internal decisions of these great powers such as the Fire Country is far better than ours. I'm afraid that they are sure that the surrounding powers will definitely destroy them this time. ”

Long Yu was a little puzzled and asked, "Destroy the country of Taki? With the current strength of the country of Taki, although it is difficult to resist several surrounding countries, it will not be easily destroyed, right?"

Shi Yu let out two somewhat gloomy laughs and said, "Indeed, the country of Takino is difficult to destroy easily. Takikure Village can continue to exist, and the daimyo of Taki-no-kuni can remain the same, but if it weren't for this vast land and the huge number of people who paid taxes to them, do you say, the Taki-no-kuni at that time was still the Taki-no-kuni now?"

Long Yu was speechless.

Indeed, if that is the case, what does it matter if the country of Takino can continue to exist? Having lost the ability to control his own destiny and has no hope of revival, Long Yuguang felt a little numb in his head when he thought about such a scene, and he also understood why the ninjas of Takiyin Village were so crazy during the attack.

Long Yu is not good at dealing with this kind of intriguing matter, so after the temporary truce, Long Yu can finally relax a little. But correspondingly, Shi Yu has been tired a lot these days.

In today's first negotiations, the officials of Taki-no-Kuni and the ninjas of Taki-Hidden Village almost came up and made their conditions clear: the elite grassroots ninja team of the Land of Rain, they are bound to win.

Of course, correspondingly, the conditions offered by Takino Country are also very generous. During the negotiations, officials in Takino Country even hinted that the position of leader of the Takikushi ninja could be given to Hanzo. The ninja team of the Rain Country itself also does not have to be scattered.

The two couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, Shi Yu spoke a little hesitantly and said, "If it really doesn't work, can we consider Konoha's proposal?"

"No way!"

Long Yu broke out and said loudly: "Shi Yu, you have always considered things better than me, how can you not understand, although Takiyin Village is a bad wolf, but Konoha is probably even more fierce." We pin our hopes on them, and I am afraid that the northern frontier of the Land of Rain will not return to us in the future. ”

Shi Yu lowered his head slightly, did not make eye contact with Long Yu, and said in a low voice: "You also know our current situation. Long Yu, with our current strength, once Takino Kuni decides to attack again, I'm afraid we will have to 'turn in'. ”

Long Yu snorted, with a fierce light in his eyes, and said to Shi Yu: "What's so terrible, as long as you can buy time for Lord Hanzo, it's worth it for all my Yuyin's ninjas to be buried here!"

Shi Yu sighed, didn't know what to say, raised his head, just stood up, he heard a voice at the door, turned his head to look, and saw a ninja from Yuyin Village standing there.

……

Although the road is already turbulent, in the Fog Hidden Village and the Water Country, it is still just calm at this time.

At least, on the surface.

After recapturing Haruka Miyajima and exchanging interests with the three wealthy clans of the Hattagawa, Mizunashi and Kaguya Kenshin have returned to the village separately.

Of course, they had other plans, but the news of the outbreak of war between Takiyu and Takiyu made all their other plans come to naught.

The analysis results of the huge intelligence gathering team and staff team of Wuyin Village showed them that the war between Takiyu would definitely cause a chain reaction on the mainland, and eventually lead to a larger-scale war with more countries participating.

In other words, the Second Ninja World War is about to break out.

At such a moment, the Mist Ninja should have acted quickly, stockpiled supplies, reorganized the ninja team, and sent more intelligence ninjas to the mainland to prepare for the upcoming war.

But the strange thing is that in Wuyin Village at this time, everything is still calm.

There were no new orders, no new large-scale tasks, and no measures to prepare for war.

Oh yes, there are variations, too.

The General Staff Headquarters Building, opposite the Mizukage Building, has been completed and put into use, and the village has since had two channels for distributing tasks. Moreover, due to the support of many ninjas, the tasks issued by the staff headquarters are often more valuable and the remuneration is more generous.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the height of the General Staff Headquarters Headquarters Building is actually the same as the Mizukage Building, not tall at all, nor short at all.

Although the Kaguya clan and the Mizuki clan, who co-designed the building, claim that this building is as tall as the Mizukage Building, which can be called the "Twin Buildings" and can be used as a landmark building in the Fog Hidden Village, everyone who has seen the General Staff Headquarters building can understand at the first moment: Kaguya and Mizuki have no moon and do not think that their status should be under the Mizukage.

At this time, in the headquarters building of the General Staff Headquarters, Kaguya Kenshin was discussing with Shui Wuyueqi how to deal with the great changes that were about to occur on the mainland.

Although there was a chief of staff and two deputy chiefs of staff in the organizational design, because one of the deputy chiefs of staff was Mizukage's confidant, the Motoshi, it was only used as a superficial effort, so the actual two people in charge of the entire staff headquarters were Kaguya Kenshin and Mizuki no Yuekai.

Kaguya Kenshin stood in front of the window and said, "Kei-kun, what do you think the fate of the country of Taki will be in the end?"

Shui Wuyue Qi sat at the table, casually looking at a ninjutsu scroll, and when he heard Kaguya's question, he said, "Needless to say, the current country of Taki will definitely not be able to continue to exist." In my opinion, they should be able to keep the area where their capital and Taki's village are located, after all, the terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Taki's country itself has tailed beasts, so everyone will not be willing to force them to a desperate situation. As for the circle of fine farmland to the north of the Fire Country, it will probably be 'voluntarily' incorporated into the Fire Country. The rest of the part is probably to form some small countries and kill each other. ”

"Oh?"

Kaguya Kenshin turned around in some surprise and said, "Is Keijun so pessimistic about the prospects of the country of Taki, is it impossible for the country of Taki-no-kuni to survive this difficult time?"

The expression on Shui Wuyueqi's face became a little solemn, and he said, "'Merging' with Yuyin Village, so as to get the elite grassroots command ninja of Yuyin Village, is a feasible way. With the support of the national strength of the country of Taki, this group of elite ninjas can quickly bring a batch of qualified cannon fodder for the country of Taki. It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?"

Kaguya asked.
