Chapter 521: Konoha Diplomatic Action
The next morning, Konoha's three-way mission set off for their respective destinations under the leadership of each of the chief envoys.
Since almost all of the high-level leaders of Yunyin Village are out on the expedition, the destination of Koharu's trip is not Yunyin Village, but the military camp tent on the border of the land country.
The destination of the rope tree, Iwakuin Village, was not far from it, so the two missions happened to travel together on the same road to the land country in the northeast of the continent.
The mission led by Tuan Zang was in the exact opposite direction, and after he made his way south to the border, he still needed to cross the sea by boat to reach Wuyin Village, so they were expected to arrive much later than the first two teams.
In the afternoon of the same day, after a long journey, the two missions led by Rope Tree and Koharu finally crossed the country of grass and entered the territory of the land of earth.
After that, the two missions said goodbye and went to their respective places.
Not to mention Koharu and his entourage, who went to the Yunyin military camp, just said that Rope Tree led a dozen envoys composed of upper ninjas and elite middle ninjas into the territory of the land country, and met the ninjas of Iwakure.
After identifying the members of the mission, Iwa Shinobu quickly led them to Iwain Village.
Along the way, the rope tree and his party did not encounter any accidents, and arrived at Iwain Village very smoothly, and received a welcome ceremony at the entrance of the village, although the scale was not large, and the smile of the reception staff was fake, but it was finally in line with etiquette.
It may have been taken from Skywalker's prestige, and there were no moths in the entire process.
Soon after, the rope tree and his party had their first meeting with the upper echelons of Iwakure.
In the large conference hall, the envoys from Konoha and the upper echelons of Iwakure sat opposite each other on either side of a long square table.
Rope Tree didn't know much about the high-level people on Iwain's side, except for the three of Tuying, Han, and Lao Zi, he could only barely recognize the terracotta and loess from memory. These two people, one is the henchman of the Tsuchikage, and the other is only the son of the Tsuchikage, and they are all quasi-shadow strength at the peak of the future, but now at most they are Shangnin, or even special Shangnin, it seems that the three generations of Tokage let the two participate in this meeting, thinking about focusing on accompanying them.
In addition to the above five people, Rope Tree didn't know any of the other high-level leaders of Iwain, and they were all nameless tricks.
In other words, compared to Konoha with many talents, the other major ninja villages are really quite pitiful, take the Iwakuin in front of him, if it weren't for the support of three generations of earth shadows, there would not even be a shadow-level powerhouse in the next few decades, and the only shadow-level Deidara defected at the age of nine...... Even the role of a wise man seems to have been held by one of the three generations of Tsuchikage.
Thinking of this, Nayuki looked at Onoki with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
And after Onoki who was sitting opposite caught the change in Rope Tree's eyes, he thought that the other party was sympathizing with the plight of the land country, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, which showed that Konoha had not yet noticed Iwakure's plan, otherwise the other party would never have reacted like this.
Onoki had a formulaic smile on his face, and his red wine trough nose was particularly conspicuous, "I didn't expect that the main envoy of Konoha this time would be His Excellency Skywalker, the land of earth is in economic depression, and now it has been invaded by Yunyin, so the conditions are simple, please forgive me if there is any inconsiderate hospitality!" ”
"Where, where! We ninjas should have learned to adapt to all environments, and we only do leisure when we eat and sleep, not to mention that the hospitality in Iwain Village is completely up to standard, and the living conditions here are much better than those of the suffering civilians in your country! Rope replied with a smile.
Rope tree knew that the treacherous and cunning earth shadow was just crying poverty to himself, and through his observations along the way, he found that the economic crisis of the land country was already very serious, although the grain traded from the Konoha consortium saved the land country from famine, but life was not just about eating enough, and the life of the civilians of the land country was very difficult under the economic crisis. Relatively speaking, although the material conditions of the upper class such as Iwa Shinobi are much worse than before, they are many times better than those of ordinary people.
And in fact, the more difficult the environment in the land country, the better it is for him. As for sympathy? He is not the Holy Mother, and he doesn't need to worry about the life and death of foreign civilians, let alone a white-eyed wolf like the Land of Earth. The way to gain sympathy is that Tsuchikage can't get any benefit from the rope tree.
Seeing that the rope tree not only did not show the slightest hint of helping the land country, but also implied sarcasm in his words, he secretly cursed the little fox in his heart, and then nodded with a smirk on the surface: "It's good that the envoys are satisfied!" It's just that I don't know what happened to Konoha this time to Iwain Village?"
The three generations of Tsuchikage finally couldn't help but get to the point and ask about the purpose of the Konoha Mission, and at the same time, the high-level Iwa Shinobi present became nervous in their hearts, if their secret plan was detected by Konoha wouldn't be good.
However, Rope Tree was aware of the changes in the emotions of everyone present, and he found that the secret technique of perception inherited from the Uzumaki clan really had a huge advantage in diplomatic negotiations.
Rope Tree glanced meaningfully at the Iwakure higher-level on the other side, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "The purpose of Konoha's mission this time is, of course, to maintain the stability of the situation in the entire ninja world, and to express the goodwill of hope for peace to the major ninja villages!" These have been made very clear in yesterday's foreign announcement, why did Tsuchikage-sama ask so much? Didn't you read the announcement carefully?"
After being swept by the sharp eyes of the rope tree, the hearts of the various rock ninas present were tense, as if the other party had seen through the secret in their hearts.
Facing Rope Tree's ridiculous rhetorical question, Tsuchikage's face was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes...... Is that so? It seems that it is negligent, please forgive me. ”
Rope Tree shook his head with a natural expression and said, "Tsuchikage-sama is serious! Of course, these are only the general directions of Konoha's diplomatic actions, and the tasks of each mission are different. For example, we came to the Land of the Earth this time in the hope that Iwakuin Village would help Konoha stabilize the situation on the continent, jointly crusade against the rebel Madara Uchiha and his comrades in the country, and further deepen the friendship between the two countries. ”
When the three generations of Tsuchikage heard the words of the rope tree, they said with a smile on their faces: "The current situation of the country of the earth is difficult to protect itself, how can it affect the situation of the entire continent?"
As for the friendship between the two countries, haven't we already signed a trade treaty?"
Rope Tree shook his head with a smile and said, "Tsuchikage-sama is too modest!" As one of the five great countries in the ninja world, the country of earth is located in the north of the continent, even if the situation is unfavorable for the time being, its influence cannot be ignored! The Land of Earth only needs to show its attitude to echo Konoha's crusade, and it doesn't need to send a single soldier.
As for the trade treaty, it only involves economic aspects, and then Konoha wants to cooperate with Iwakuin in all aspects, such as reaching an offensive and defensive alliance militarily and becoming a real ally! ”
After hearing about Rope Tree's proposal, the first reaction in the hearts of all the Iwa Shinobi present was, "Absolutely not!" ”
