Chapter 531 The group that won't negotiate

On the border of the land of earth, there are 40,000 ninja troops from Iwakure, plus 80,000 ninja troops from Yunyin, a total of 120,000 ninjas are fighting here.

120,000 ninjas sounds like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the vast area of the Land of Earth.

The two sides adopt the traditional way of fighting, and the area attack and defense can not only ensure the security of the rear, but also reduce the battle damage.

Yanyin Village has the advantage of two pillars, and can barely close the gap of 40,000 troops, but it is still at a disadvantage in terms of attrition.

In fact, in this case, it is the best choice for Iwakuin Village to use guerrilla tactics to fight, not only to minimize the casualties of the ninjas, but also to counterattack Yunyin, and even win the war in one fell swoop, but in order to avoid the land of earth repeating the mistakes of the country of rain, Iwakuin Village conservatively traditional combat methods.

This is also very much in line with Konoha's intentions, the longer the battle between the two countries drags on, the better, and Konoha does not want the two sides to divide the victory or defeat in a short time.

It's just that if they continue to fight like this, their forces will only get smaller and smaller, and the gap between them and Yunyin will get bigger and bigger, and when this gap reaches a certain limit, the advantage of human strength alone cannot make up for it, and then they will still have to use guerrilla tactics, and the civilians of the land country will not be able to escape the fate of war. It's better to use guerrilla tactics from the beginning to preserve the strength of the ninja army, and there is hope of turning defeat into victory, but unfortunately the morale of Iwakuin Village is now lost, and it is just thinking about preserving its strength and waiting for Konoha to mediate, so it chooses a strategy that seems to be right but wrong.

But these are all later words, and now that the entire ninja world has attracted attention to the two treaties signed by the three countries, no one will pay attention to the strategic issue of Iwakure.

After the news spread, among the countries, the country of wind was the most affected, in their opinion, this alliance plan was a complete failure, Iwakuin and Yunyin were really cowardly, and they actually bowed to Konoha at this time, which can make the country of wind miserable, it is simply a naked betrayal!

The Land of the Wind is full of resentment towards the two powers, but does not realize that its image in the eyes of the two countries is not much better.

The contradictions between the three powers, which are already full of contradictions and have no trust to speak of, have become even more contradictory after this incident, and it is even more impossible to re-unite. So far, a crisis against Konoha has been completely broken.

And Tuanzang, who arrived in the land of water that night, felt happy after receiving the news, but also felt a burst of pressure, the mission on his side has not yet begun, and the other two roads have been successful, it seems that he must start acting according to the plan as soon as possible.

The same layer of fog and concealment, who also received the news, was also speculating about the intention of the Konoha mission, although I don't know how Konoha made the two major ninja villages bow their heads at the same time, but through the analysis of the situation, the country of water can determine that Konoha's next strategic focus should be on the country of wind. Therefore, they speculated that the purpose of the Konoha Mission was probably to reach a similar trade treaty with Kigakure to prevent them from interfering with Konoha's next war plan.

After a brief and blunt conversation, the higher-ups of the Fog Hidden Village thought they had discovered Konoha's purpose, and temporarily ended the negotiations on the grounds that it was too late and needed to rest.

In this meeting, Tuan Zang directly stated the purpose of his mission, that is, during Konoha's expedition to the Land of Wind, Wuyin Village must strictly abide by neutrality and not interfere with the war between the two sides in any form. Otherwise, Konoha's ally, Star Ninja Village, will send an air force to completely blockade the waters around the Water Country, and attack all ships that go to sea in the Water Country. If the Fog Hidden Village agrees to Konoha's conditions, then the two parties can sign a trade treaty, and the Konoha Foundation will export a large number of minerals to the Land of Water at market prices.

In the eyes of the high-level of Wuyin Village, Tuan Zang is not suitable for diplomatic work at all, and the face of a dead person who is not close to the living is just that, and his attitude is also very blunt, not at all like he is coming to peace talks, but like he is here to declare war. How can anyone pour out all their conditions at the beginning of the negotiations, and there is no room for reversal, as if you don't agree to me?

However, considering Danzang's consistent style, as well as the contradictions between him and the three generations of Hokage, the high-level of the fog was a little relieved: Maybe this guy really came to declare war!

It seems that Konoha really has no other candidates, so he will send this guy as the main envoy.

While smiling secretly in their hearts, the upper echelons of the Fog Hidden did not have the slightest suspicion of the Konoha Mission's kingdom, which was completely consistent with the results they had speculated before.

And Konoha's conditions also hit the nail on the head of the land of water.

The land of water is a typical island country, with very developed fishing and sea transportation, and if it is completely blocked, then the economy will definitely be affected. The most important thing is that the country of water lacks all kinds of minerals, and the raw materials used to make forbearance are basically imported. This predicament prompted the Land of Water to delve into casting technology, hoping to obtain ninja tools that would not corrode and rust, leading to the birth of the Seven Ninja Swords. It's a pity that the material of the Seven Ninja Swords is very special and cannot be popularized, so the fog is very dependent on the import of minerals.

If Konoha really blocked the sea area of the Land of Water, in a few years, the ninjas of the Fog Hidden Village would be in a predicament with no blades to use.

Conversely, if the Fire Nation is willing to export minerals to them at market prices, then the Water Nation can make a lot of money from it. Because the price of weapons will rise sharply in times of war, and the price of minerals will fall instead, with the casting technology of the land of water, if you have enough raw materials, you can make a large number of ninja tools, and you can get a lot of profits whether you sell them to other countries or use them yourself.

Therefore, the upper echelons of the fog are very excited about the conditions that Konoha has to offer. Judging from the current situation in the ninja world, Yun Yin and Iwain are pinching each other, and Sand Hidden Village is shrinking to the mainland, if Wu Yin rises at this time, it will definitely become Konoha's primary target, so they might as well remain neutral and wait and see.

After the end of the war, the strength of all countries will be damaged, only the country of water will preserve its strength and develop with peace of mind, in contrast, isn't it equivalent to an alternative victory in this war?

However, they didn't think of an important issue, or they ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, since Star Ninja Village had the ability to block the sea around the Water Country, it meant that Konoha didn't have to worry about the Fog Hidden Village sending troops to meddle in the war on the continent, so why bother to negotiate terms with them in one fell swoop?

In the night, Tuan Zang, who was walking towards the State Guesthouse behind the Fog Ninja, sneered, his task is not to negotiate, the Fog Yin wants to sit and watch the melee of the countries on the mainland, how can it be so easy to win without a fight!
