Although the scene outside the gate of Vortex Village was a little embarrassing, Rope Tree did not refuse the kindness of the high-level officials, no matter what the specific purpose was, it was already a very sincere act for these pampered bigwigs to wait for the return of themselves and others at the village gate overnight.

Therefore, in the face of the high-spirited crowd, Rope Shu smiled naturally and said: "There is the patriarch of Lao Dazheng and the elders who have been waiting for a long time!" I am fortunate not to be dishonored! โ€

"The Rope Tree Patriarch has lived up to expectations and won this great victory, which is really a great blessing for my Vortex Clan! Soon, the Rope Tree Patriarch will be able to make a name for himself in the ninja world with this battle! Congratulations to the Rope Tree Patriarch! Daisei congratulated Joki with a sincere smile on his face.

In the ninja world, fame is very important for any ninja and family, not only as a symbol of strength, but also as a real benefit! If you are famous enough, you can easily take on various high-level quest commissions, and the appearance fee will increase accordingly. If you can reach the height of White Fang and Golden Flash, you can even deter the hostile ninja in the mission and make the opponent retreat, which is very convenient for completing the mission.

And now, although this victory was won under the command of the rope tree, it took place in the country of the Vortex, and it will also be of great help to the prestige of the Uzumaki clan. That's why the upper echelons of the Uzumaki clan are so excited.

"Dazheng Patriarch is polite! What is the difference between you and me? The Uzumaki clan will soon join Konoha, and this victory belongs to the entire Konoha family! Rope tree said meaningfully.

"Uh...... Commander Rope Tree is right! Honor belongs to Konoha! In the face of Rope Tree's answer, Dazheng echoed with some embarrassment.

"By the way, since the war is over, why did only three hundred ninjas from my Uzumaki clan return with the command of the rope tree? I wonder where the other people are?" Taimasi glanced at the ninja behind the rope tree and took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Now the war has only won a phased victory, and it is far from over. The strength of the Fog and Cloud Hidden is still there, so the other 2,600 ninja troops have been sent to the north and east battlefields to defend against the enemy, and the war will not really end for us until negotiations with the four major ninja villages are completed and the Uzumaki clan is safely escorted to Konoha . I wonder if the Dazheng clan has any advice?" Rope Tree vaguely sensed his intentions from Daimasa's tone, and replied in a faint tone.

Taimasi originally wanted to take back the command of the ninja army of the country of vortex on the grounds that the war was over and the victory had been decided, but he didn't expect that Rope Tree would not only take most of the ninja army away in advance, but also block everything he planned to say next in one sentence.

But what Rope Tree said was reasonable, and he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it, so he could only smile aggrievedly: "Commander Rope Tree is far-sighted, and he really has the demeanor of a general!" โ€

Unwilling to stop there, Daimasa quickly said his other purpose, "I heard that Commander Rope Tree not only wiped out the enemy from the south this time, but also captured the other party's two commanders and a large number of ninjas!" โ€

"The ninjas of the two ninja villages are strong, they must be held in a safe place to rest assured, the new facilities of the Konoha camp are poor, why don't you hand them over to us and others to be imprisoned in the prison of the vortex village?"

The Uzumaki was well aware of the importance of these captives, and if they were kept in their hands, the Uzumaki would gain greater autonomy in the negotiations that followed.

But how could the rope tree let him get his wish?" Thank you for your kindness. However, most of the ninjas in Vortex Village are fighting on the front line now, so there must be a shortage of manpower, and these ninjas are still under the care of the ninja army. โ€

"However, these troops of the Bear Country are very suitable for being imprisoned in the prison of Vortex Village, and they will be taken care of in the next step!" Rope Shu decisively rejected Daisei's proposal, and threw the burden of tens of thousands of ordinary people to the other party, he didn't want to waste food to feed these people.

"This ......" Dazheng didn't expect the rope tree to be so shameless, but the prisoner was captured by the other party, and he couldn't force it, so he could only show an extremely stiff smile, "No problem, then leave it to you." โ€

After being rejected many times by the rope tree, Uzumaki Taimasa took a deep breath to calm his emotions and put forward his last request, "Since the rope tree commander has completely annihilated the enemy and captured so many prisoners, then a lot of materials must have been captured." โ€

"In the past few days, in order to implement guerrilla tactics, my vortex country has lost a lot of ninja equipment, especially the stock of detonation charms is about to be exhausted, so I hope that the rope tree commander can take out the captured materials to replenish the inventory of the vortex country."

Uzumaki felt that there should be no reason for Rope Tree to refuse his request this time.

Speaking of the materials seized this time, it did bring a huge surprise to the rope tree, because the four major ninja villages this time had the idea of gradually encroaching on the country of the vortex step by step. Although not a lot of food was delivered, the easy-to-carry supplies such as ninja equipment, detonation charms, and medicines were well prepared! The ninja equipment, detonation charms and medicines in the two bases are enough for 2,000 ninja troops to use in the fierce battle for a year! At least 10 billion taels at market price!

For such a large amount of wealth, of course, the rope tree that has been swallowed in the stomach will not spit it out again.

Rope Tree spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that because the battle at the Iwa Shinobi base is too fierce, all the supplies have been destroyed. The supplies for the sand ninja have been distributed to the guerrillas of the Uzumaki clan for the next defensive battle. โ€

"This time, my men returned empty-handed, and the march was so fast because there were no supplies."

"So...... I'm sorry, Patriarch Daisei! Next, the military supplies of the alliance between Konoha and the Vortex Country still need to be provided by the nobles! โ€

"However, the transportation between the Fire Country and the Vortex Country is convenient, and my Konoha Foundation will supply unlimited quantities to the Uzumaki clan at a 10% discount on the market price! Wait until the end of the war to settle together. โ€

Since all the materials had been collected by the Rope Tree into the tree seed space, he was not afraid of what the Uzumaki Daisa would see at all, and as for the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan who fought with the Rope Tree, they would naturally keep it a secret after obtaining a large number of exquisite ninja tools and precious medicines distributed by the Rope Tree as hush money.

Behind the Uzumaki Daimasa was a group of empty-handed ninjas and captives, and after making sure that there was no baggage, he looked at the people of the Uzumaki clan and after receiving a nod of affirmative reply, their faces became even more difficult to look at. As a result, the Uzumaki Clan will not be able to reap any dividends from this big victory other than fame. If he knew at this time that the entire ninja world would know the details of this battle, and would treat this battle as a famous battle of the rope tree and hide everyone under his light, I am afraid that he would vomit blood on the spot.
