Chapter 19: Lei Yun Ai
Any union between two ninja villages is temporary, and hostility and war are the eternal themes between different ninja villages, so even if Konoha and Yunyin form an alliance for a while, this cannot change the fact that they are potential strategic opponents in the longer term.
When a country visits another enemy country that it considers an enemy, will it introduce its members to the other party...... "This will be our nuclear bomb expert in the future, and one day he will test his power in your home"? Under normal circumstances, how could such a thing happen under normal circumstances?
As a result, Hanyu is now in an abnormal situation.
The second generation of Hokage, for Yun Yin, is a more memorable name than the first generation of Hokage, after all, the first generation did not participate in the war between the ninja villages, the ninja war began, when Yun Yin was ambitious to expand his power, it was the second generation Hokage who broke their outstretched legs and destroyed their ambitions.
So when Hanyu got the evaluation of "comparable to the two Hokage", even if he still had a modification like "in the future, it is possible" before such an evaluation, but for Yun Yin, he was already quite worthy of attention. And this is never a good thing, you know, in this world, a ninja with a reputation but no strength will always die much faster than a ninja with no reputation and no strength.
Sanshino's statement made her claim that Hanyu was her disciple lack credibility, otherwise how could there be a teacher who would have come up and kill her relatives so righteously?
The Cloud Hidden Ninja gave Hanyu a deep look, as if to make a thorough note of his appearance, before he turned back and led the way for everyone.
"Envoys of Konoha, please come with me, the third generation is waiting for you not far ahead."
Sanxiao and the others followed behind each other according to their words, and the more they got to this time, the more vigilant the group became...... Because of the current chaotic situation in Yunyin, no one can be sure whether the person in front of him is a member of the New Thunder Shadow for the purpose of peace or a rebel for the purpose of destroying the Yunyin Konoha Alliance.
Battles can break out at any moment.
However, this concern did not last long, and after only a few miles to the north, Yun Yin's large-scale greeting team, including even the three generations of Thunder Shadow himself, who had newly ascended to the (Crab Crab) position, appeared there.
The third generation of Thunder Shadow is a dark-skinned strong man, he is the kind of person with a great visual impact, and in simple words, he looks more like a berserker than a ninja.
After seeing the Thunder Shadow, the expressions of the people in Konoha could relax a little, and the Uchiha Mirror and Mito Menyan were able to confirm each other's identities...... In the previous war, as elite ninjas subordinate to Konoha and Yunyin respectively, the two sides fought each other, but now that the other party has succeeded Thunder Shadow, then he should have given up his original name, and now he should be called "Ai".
All the Thunder Shadows have the same name, and in Hanyu's mind, this "Ai" should mean ACE, which represents the strongest ninja in a village.
"Uchiha and Mito, thank you for your renewed trust and welcome to the Land of Thunder." Unlike the rugged hardliners in appearance, the three generations of Thunder Shadow were by no means blindly tough when he spoke, and it seemed that he knew very well what he should do...... As the shadow of a village, you can be rude, but a person who is blindly rude will never become a shadow.
For example, the golden horn and the silver horn, no matter how strong the strength is, they are just the thugs of the village.
"It's all for the sake of peace." Mito Menyan stepped forward and responded, but his face was a little stinky when he spoke...... This is a matter of course, and Yun Yin has to take responsibility for the death of the second Hokage.
"Peace is our common goal, isn't it? This is not the place to talk, let's go to our village first. Thunder Shadow lightly avoided the accusations implied in Mito's words.
As he spoke, Thunder Shadow first commanded the ninjas he brought to take the first step, and then he personally guided Konoha and the others to move in the direction of Yunyin...... After a brief encounter, Hanyu was able to tell that the new Thunder Shadow was a man with brains.
Thunder Shadow brought more than twenty ninjas to greet Konoha and his party, definitely not for the superficial purpose of getting off the horse, on the one hand, because Yun Yin's rebellion had just been quelled, but not all of the rebel ninjas had been purged, so it was difficult for him to refuse the village's decision to send guards for him, on the other hand, Konoha and his party also needed a large number of Yun Yin ninjas to protect their safety.
With this momentum and strength, no one attacked the Konoha Messenger without opening their eyes, so Hanyu and the others arrived at Yunyin Village smoothly. New signs of destruction can be seen everywhere in this village, which was built on high ground and cliffs, and Thunder Shadow seems to have no intention of concealing the losses suffered by Yunyin in the previous rebellion in Konoha .
Then, without any greetings or rest, the two sides went straight to the topic of negotiation - in a hidden basement somewhere in Yunyin, they began negotiations on peace and alliance.
In such a serious negotiation, Hanyu and Hagi Sakushige had no chance of interjecting.
The initial negotiations went very smoothly, and the restoration of the alliance with Konoha was itself an implementation that Yunyin was looking forward to now, and even at this point, the two sides could sign an alliance immediately.
However, the "supplementary agreement" proposed by Konoha next made Lei Ying feel bad.
Because Mito Menyan mentioned what Hanyu said earlier, he asked Yunyin to give up the defense against Konoha and then interspersed his forces in the direction of Iwakure.
"Yunyin's next war arrangement, it's not for you in Konoha to interfere, of course we welcome and look forward to the alliance, but if you use this as a threat to force us to change our strategy, then I can only say I'm sorry." Thunder Shadow said with a gloomy face, he saw through Konoha's intentions at a glance.
Taking a step back, it is not unacceptable to reduce the number of ninjas against Konoha, after all, if the two sides sign an alliance treaty, there is no reason to accumulate heavy troops on the border.
But interspersed with Iwain, this is tantamount to letting Yunyin bear the pressure in the direction of Iwain for Konoha and harm himself and others? How can it be! Konoha's wishful thinking is really loud. If at the beginning of this war, of course Yun Yin would dare to go straight to Yan Yin, but for the current Yun Yin, he no longer has the reason and courage to do so.
Because of Thunder Shadow's stern refusal, the negotiation was a little unable to proceed, and at this time, Mishino spoke, "Thunder Shadow, your current situation is very similar to our Konoha, as a person who urgently took on the role of Shadow because of an emergency, I believe there are also many opposing voices in your village...... Compared to their ancestors, the younger generation always lacks prestige. ”
"Unlike Konoha, Yunyin has just gone through a rebellion, so your situation is even more urgent. If you want to integrate the village, you must gain the prestige to suppress all opposing voices...... Personal strength is not omnipotent, and if you want to gain this kind of prestige in a short period of time, you can either instigate Yunyin's large-scale offensive against other villages, and you can 100% guarantee an overwhelming victory...... But who can guarantee victory in the invasion battle, and the paradox is that you don't have a way to command the Cloud Hidden Ninjas smoothly right now. The other approach is much simpler, such as ...... Solve the culprit who started the rebellion and killed the second generation of Thunder Shadow, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn. ”
Yes, as long as the Golden Horn and Silver Horn are killed, Thunder Shadow's prestige will swell rapidly, and his position will be justifiably stabilized, which is a condition that is difficult for people to refuse. Hearing this, the three generations of Thunder Shadow Huo Ran got up and looked at Konoha and his party with scorching eyes, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn?!" ”
"If our negotiations can go ahead, then we will know such news." Mishino replied lightly.
This means that if the negotiations cannot proceed, then even if they really know the whereabouts of the golden horn and silver horn, it will be a kind of ignorance.
