Chapter 23: Intelligence and Negotiation (2)
Contacting the ninja organizations independent of the Rain Ninja Village is not the goal at all, these juniors, the real intention to express, is to grasp the power game between the Rain Ninja Village and the Daimyo nobles of the Rain Country, to put it bluntly, the existence of these scattered ninja organizations is essentially the embodiment of the game situation between the two parties.
However, he didn't think that he was very satisfied with this matter, Hanzo snorted, and wanted to order his subordinates to ignore Najiwara Sojun and let him fend for himself.
"My lord," a voice came from the shadows, "the two ninjas of Konoha ask to meet." ”
Hanzo's eyes sank, he groaned, and said, "Yugo, invite the two of them in." ”
"Yes." The middle-aged Yuren lowered his head and disappeared in an instant.
"This way, please." Although the rain ninja in front of him didn't have a good face, he was not so slacker, and Makoto and Shuimen followed behind him, bypassing an artificial lake, but their eyes couldn't help but look at the fish in the lake.
Yunin Village is full of chimneys and high-rise buildings, this pearl-like small lake, like suddenly encountering a beautiful landscape in the black forest, coupled with the rain curtain like smoke, the clear waves are sparkling, it looks very elegant.
Makoto's gaze is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and in a glance or two, he can see the reason why this small lake still seems clearer than the natural lake, although there are constant ripples of rain.
-- Apart from this fish, there are no other fish in this lake, not even a single floating algae or insect pig!
This also explains why the lake does not have a channel to divert water.
I'm afraid this fish is the famous [Sansho] in the ninja world, right?
Cheng and Shuimen exchanged glances with each other, and they both secretly made a note in their hearts about the poison of "Sanjiao".
Turning around the artificial lake, what appeared in front of me was a circular hut, in addition to the special features and materials of the Rain Country building, the first impression of this house was that it looked like the office of the shadow of the five great powers.
Except for the fact that the word "Rain Shadow" is not written openly on the house, every aspect of this building seems to be prepared for the shadow of a country.
"Hanzo-sama is waiting for the two of you." After Yuren finished speaking, he stepped aside and motioned for himself to wait outside the door.
Mizumon pushed the door in with Makoto.
The whole is dark, except for the large cement window on one side, there is no other lighting point in the house, so the cloudy light can only illuminate the side near the window, and most of the house is hidden in the dark and damp.
Hanzo stood right in front of the window, his tall, burly figure blocking out the light, pulling out a huge shadow and casting it on the ground.
"Hanzo-sama." The water gate came forward to salute, and Cheng silently followed, and followed the salute.
"Hmm," Hanzo nodded lightly, his gaze paused on his blonde hair, and said, "You are Bo Feng Shuimen?" ”
"Exactly." Mizumon's politeness and bright smile were not moved by the momentum and suppression that Hanzo deliberately created.
"The matter of Konoha, didn't the old man already talk to Fujiwara Sojun before? What do you mean by here? ”
Mizumon didn't think that the so-called negotiation skills could be effective in front of a strong person of this level, so he told the truth: "We are here for the common interests of Konoha and Yushinobi. ”
"Common good?" Hanzo smiled, although the respirator was really difficult to see his expression clearly, but his sarcasm could be heard by everyone: "You Konoha and I Yunin, when did you have such a thing as a common interest?" ”
"Adults are clear, as ordinary people say, cooperation is two benefits, and division is two losses, and for ninjas, just one 'peace' without a fight is already the greatest common interest."
Hanzo was silent, Mizumon's words were to the point, the biggest conflict between ninjas was in the word "war", as long as they could not fight on the battlefield, it meant that there would be no loss of personnel and resources.
"However, Watergate also knows that the two countries border on the rain and fire, and it is difficult for the two villages not to conflict.
The so-called cross-border mission naturally refers to the mission that needs to cross the border between the two countries of rain and fire, and from the employer's point of view, the ninja guarantee fee to hire a ninja of rain or Konoha is the same, so this kind of mission has become the key to the competition between the two villages.
"But the battle between the two villages caused by this cross-border mission is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the other."
Seeing the golden retriever talking eloquently in front of him, Hanzo's eyes gradually sharpened.
"This one is [war]!
"Both villages are suffering from the war, this must be more profound than the mere understanding of the Hanzo Lord, I wonder if the Hanzo Lord has ever thought that there are obviously a lot of countries bordering each other, why is there a constant war between the two villages?"
Although Hanzo listened intently, he didn't even flash his eyes - with his identity, of course, he wouldn't be a junior.
"Please take a closer look." Mizuto bowed slightly to Hanzo, took out a scroll from his waist, and spread it flat on the table next to him.
Hanzo raised his hand slightly, stopped the rain shinobi hiding in the shadows, and took a few steps closer to the table.
Cheng consciously retreated to the corner of the house on one side, and stood with a few dark breaths, several breaths secretly formed a formation from both sides, which was considered to hold him hostage, and Cheng didn't react at all to this, before leaving, he and Mizumon had already discussed it many times, and they were in their chests.
A map of the ninja world was channeled out, covering the entire table with a full footprint, and Hanzo's eyes narrowed, recognizing that it was a detailed map of the five countries of fire, rain, wind, grass, and river - of course, Mizumon and Makoto would not die enough to mark something that should not appear on it, so the map only had ordinary castles and natural mountains and rivers.
"Your Excellency, please see, some of the water-rich air currents that arrived from the sea were intercepted from the primeval forests of the Land of Fire, but some of them came to this zigzag-shaped entrance mountain range along this plain passage in the Land of Fire without any damage, and all of them poured into the Land of Rain! ”
Hanzo already knew what Mizumon was trying to say, but he thoughtfully followed Mizumon's fingers and looked at the Plains of the Land of Fire and the mountains that separated the Land of Rain from the boundaries of the two kingdoms of grass and river.
"The overall terrain of the Land of Rain is towering, but it still follows the topography of the entire continent, high in the west and low in the east.
"The Land of Rain itself, however, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a small uplifted basin. This humid air flow is concentrated from the collection port in the east of the rain country, lifted to a high place to be cold, and it is precisely in the rain country that all the rain falls, which is the reason why the rain country does not disperse all year round! ”
Hanzo nodded, as a ninja who knew "rain" very well, of course he knew this basic climate knowledge.
