Chapter 117 Flickering
The leader of the Yokota branch has always acted as a think tank in the Uzumaki clan, helping the patriarch to handle government affairs, and he also has an extraordinary influence on various major decisions in the country of the vortex.
His ancestors relied on the convenience of their position and their own special status, constantly marrying with the patriarch and strengthening the strength of their own lineage, and it reached the peak of Yokota's generation, and the strength was almost tied with the patriarch's lineage, coupled with the support of other branches, it is not impossible for the Yokota lineage to gradually replace the position of the patriarch lineage.
But now because of the intervention of the relatives of the Thousand Hands clan, his plans must be blocked, and today he was seized by Daimasa to remove him from all his duties, although the whole branch is not damaged at all, but the original good situation has been destroyed, and all this is because of the rope tree, so Yokota hates him to the core.
But now things seem to have taken a turn for the better, and this young patriarch doesn't seem to be exactly the same heart as his direct blood relative?
Yokota has some vague speculation about the main reason why Rope Tree is looking for his own cooperation, which is nothing more than that Konoha is a little jealous of the strength of the Uzumaki clan, so he wants to support his own line and the patriarch's line to balance each other, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening and dividing the entire Uzumaki clan, and this balancing measure is a common trick used by rulers.
But after the previous confrontation, he couldn't figure out the trick of that little ghost, what if he misunderstood, the other party was not a mature politician as he thought, but a teenager who came to the door to slap his face because of the previous conflict? So for the sake of his own face, Yokota had to ask about the situation.
The subordinate didn't expect Yokota to ask this kind of question, and said truthfully with a strange face: "That young man spoke very well, he looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and his attitude was not very arrogant. ”
Yokota nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "Since that's the case, let him in!" In addition, I asked someone to clean up the hall quickly. ”
"Yes!" Although the person who came didn't know why the master suddenly changed his attitude, he didn't dare to say more and immediately took the order.
A few minutes later, the rope tree came to the door of the hall under the guidance of the subordinates, he smelled the smell in the room, and then glanced at the water stains on the ground that had not yet dried, and roughly guessed what had happened before, and he said with a smile on his face: "Hehe...... Yokota is so interested. The smell of tea in this room is really refreshing! I don't know what kind of good tea your Excellency brews, and it's so fragrant?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yokota's face when he heard this, but he immediately returned to normal, he pretended not to hear the deep meaning of Rope Tree's words, and said in a non-trivial manner: "Now that the old man has resigned from all his duties, he has been ordered by the patriarch to think about it behind closed doors at home. What is the important matter for the Rope Tree Patriarch to come to me, an idler?"
Hearing this, Rope Tree shook his head and smiled: "Elder Yokota is too modest, who doesn't know that your lineage has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Vortex for generations, controls the financial power of the entire country, and is full of talents, and its strength is not inferior to that of the patriarch, even if you lose the title of Minister of the Imperial Ministers of the Factory Vortex Country, you can also influence the situation of the Vortex Clan, right?"
Hearing the words of the Rope Tree, a smug smile appeared on Yokota's face, "What is the matter with the Rope Tree Patriarch here, please make it clear." "Judging by his performance, it can be regarded as a tacit compliment from the rope tree.
"I'm here this time because I have some cooperation between the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan, and I want to discuss with Elder Yokota. It's better to be cautious about the future of the two clans, Elder Yokota is ready to talk like this, isn't he going to invite him in?" Rope reminded with a smile on his face.
"Then invite the Rope Tree Patriarch to come in and talk about it." Yokota saw that Nawaki had come to seek cooperation as he expected, and his attitude immediately became much more relaxed in the face of interests, and after inviting Nawaki in, he instructed the people outside the door: "You all go down!" I have important matters to discuss with your guests, you are not qualified to observe, stay away and keep guard, don't let people disturb you! ”
"Yes!" The door was closed, and he retreated.
In the empty hall, only Rope Tree and Yokota were left, and Rope Tree unceremoniously sat down opposite Yokota, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank it all, he said with an intoxicated face: "Good tea, good tea!" Not only is the tea good, but this tea set is also very exquisite, but this teacup doesn't seem to be complete? These four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, why are chrysanthemums missing?"
Watching Rope Tree casually playing with the teacup in his hand and talking about irrelevant topics, Yokota said impatiently and perfunctorily: "Just now, the subordinate broke a teacup, and this tea set has not had time to be replaced. Isn't the Rope Tree Patriarch going to negotiate cooperation? Now it's just the two of us here, what's there to talk about, right?"
Rope Shu reluctantly put down the cup in his hand, "It's a pity that such a chic tea set!" This time, I invited Elder Yokota to inject capital into the Konoha Foundation to become a shareholder of the foundation and cooperate in cross-border trade. Generally speaking, the shareholders of my Konoha Foundation are the patriarchs of each clan, but because the situation of the Uzumaki clan is relatively special, I think Elder Yokota is the most suitable candidate. I sincerely invite you, I don't know what Elder Yokota wants?"
Joki is talking nonsense in a serious way in order to make Yokota let his guard down.
And Yokota was really attracted by Rope Tree's words, of course he knew very well about the Konoha Foundation, a consortium that almost monopolized the resource trade of the Fire Country, if he could really become a member of the board of directors, he would not only gain huge benefits, but also have an impact on the prestige of the patriarch, so after Rope Tree finished speaking, he was already moved, and he couldn't wait to agree immediately.
However, in order to get more benefits, he couldn't show too urgency, he still resisted the excitement in his heart, and said with a reserved face: "Of course, I won't object to becoming a shareholder of the Konoha Foundation, but what is the specific price of this share?" How many shares can the Konoha Consortium transfer?"
Even if you don't need to perceive the secret art, Rope Tree has already known Yokota's current state of mind through the prompts of the Wish Power System, and knowing that the other party has taken the bait, Rope Tree continued to run the train with his mouth full: "It's good that Elder Yokota is willing to join, but the matter about the shares can be discussed in detail later, and if I have a question in my heart than before, please ask Elder Yokota to answer it!" ”
Yokota thought that Rope was deliberately adjusting his appetite and wanted to test his own change so that he could determine the price and take the initiative in the next negotiations. Therefore, he couldn't expose the urgency in his heart, and pretended not to care and said, "What questions does the Rope Tree Patriarch have? Although. ”
"According to the observation below, Your Excellency has always opposed the Uzumaki clan joining Konoha before, and has a soft spot for the country of Rain, I don't know why?" Rope asked, staring into Yokota's eyes.
