Chapter 224: Identity
Asma raised this question with a hint of embarrassment on Zhengyin's face, and the task entrusted to Konoha Village was to send them and their group from Konoha Village safely to the junction of the Fire Country and the Land of Heaven, and the task was completed. Judging from the current situation, in fact, Asma and his class have completed the commission of this C-level mission, and they can go back to the village directly regardless of Zhengyin and his companions.
But Asma is a good person, good people always have such and such shortcomings, before the good people do not burst out of the brilliance of human nature, most people regard good people as another kind of people - honest people, can also be said to be a bit stupid.
He was worried that after his group left, there would be some unforeseen situations on this still relatively chaotic border, endangering the lives of these four people. So he stayed behind obligedly, and hoped that Zhengyin and the others could return to where they should go safely.
It's just been waiting for a few days, and the team that the other party came to greet him still seems to be far away, and Asma couldn't help it, and finally asked.
Zhengyin is actually very anxious in his heart, they are ordinary businessmen on the surface, but they are actually politicians, and the woman named Suzune is Her Royal Highness the second princess of Tian Zhiguo. This visit to the Land of Fire and Konoha Village is also the sound ninja village that appeared because of the land of the country.
From Tanokuni's own point of view, for a small country like them, which has no force or value, it doesn't matter much if there is a ninja village or not. There is no ninja village, and no one will invade them, and the ugly thing to say is that the country was founded by a group of farmers, and then the one with the most fields was elected to become a daimyo. This group of farmers is not a threat to other forces, and it is unlikely that there will be any contradictions that cannot be resolved, so there is no talk of establishing a village like a ninja fighting agency.
Having a ninja village is not necessarily a good thing, the ninja village from scratch is not something that can be conjured out of thin air, it needs to be built. Where does the money for construction come from? Not taken out of the daimyo's pocket yet? Is the daimyo rich?
When it comes to land, the daimyo may be the one who owns the most land in Tanokuni, but when it comes to money, it's not necessarily. In addition, if a passerby walks on the road empty-handed, he is not a threat at a glance, and naturally no one will be guarded or even take the initiative to attack, which is completely unnecessary. But if this passerby has a knife in his hand, no matter what he intends to do or not, as long as the knife is there, it will definitely make other passers-by feel threatened.
In the face of threats, some people will choose to avoid them, while others will take the initiative to rise to the challenge. The reason why the country of Tian was not affected much in the first three ninja wars is that there are no ninjas in the country of Tian, there is no martial arts mechanism, and this country is harmless to all the surrounding countries, and naturally it will not be attacked. But now that there is a ninja village, in case of another war or something, maybe those who are powerful and greedy for land will choose to conquer everything in the country of Field.
Shogin's visit to the Land of Fire and Konoha Village is to get the support of both, and after the Daimyo of Tanokuni leaves office, he can push Suzune to inherit the Daimyo's unification. Suzune and her sister Tenne are completely two personalities, and since the daimyo only has two girls, there will inevitably be one person who will inherit the daimyo in the future. For a long time, the eldest princess of Aine considered herself the heir, and she had some unrealistic fantasies about making the country of Ta a powerful country.
Pipe dream.
A big country first needs a vast land and population, not to say that a small country cannot become a strong country, but once a war breaks out, a small country does not have the depth of strategic depth, nor does it have enough population to consume, and before there is nothing that can directly affect the outcome of the war or the appearance of individuals, it is simply nonsense for a small country to say that it wants to be strong.
Since the emergence of the Hidden Ninja Village, the eldest princess has been supporting the construction of the Hidden Ninja Village, and she always feels that this is an opportunity, an opportunity for Tian Nokuni to step onto the stage of a world power. Once the Ninja Village develops, it has a strength that is not weaker than other Ninja Villages, and it can completely expand to the surrounding areas, such as the Land of Yu, or countries further away. After accumulating enough strength and annexing many small countries, they can in turn pose a threat to the five major powers and communicate with them on an equal footing.
This is a good ideal, but it is not possible to implement it, because once Tanokuni does something against the small countries around it, the big countries will definitely not sit idly by.
In order to prevent the country of Tian from falling under the control of the eldest princess in the future, Zhengyin discussed with the second princess and some sensible ministers and came to the country of fire and Konoha Village for help.
The results of this secret visit were not very satisfactory, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not express his position, saying ambiguous words with a somewhat perfunctory attitude. Part of it may be that I don't look down on a small country like Tanokuni, and secondly, I don't want to be spread out of the daimyo and meddle in the politics of a small country by virtue of the identity of a big country, which is not good to hear and a little too much.
Konoha Village did make a statement, and Sarutobi agreed to intervene to help Suzune when it was "necessary", but how to define this necessity, Sarutobi Hizai did not explain, and other village elders and advisors also had their own opinions.
It wasn't until the end that an advisor named Danozo told him that if the people of Tanokuni supported the eldest princess, it would be impossible for Konoha Village to directly bypass the daimyo and intervene in foreign politics by force, which would cause disputes and even another ninja war. But if the people of Tianno Country support the second princess, Konoha Village can provide some help when necessary, after all, it is a righteous act of people's hearts, and even the daimyo can only reprimand them for making decisions without saying anything else.
Going back with such a not very satisfactory result, Zhengyin already has a hunch that there will be problems in this industry.
Sure enough, the time and place that he had agreed on early morning had not moved at all until now, and his only thought was that someone in the country knew their whereabouts and purpose, and did it. This person doesn't need to think much to know who it is, and it must be the eldest princess. How can a person who sits all day daydreaming, and is relative to himself, forgive such a betrayal? She must have taken advantage of the absence of Zhengyin and Lingyin to take action against the nobles who supported the second princess.
That's the trouble!
Zhengyin sighed and looked at the sky, there were no clouds in the sky, it was surprisingly good, "It should be these two days, right?" Anyway, no matter what the reason, it delayed your trip, and I have to apologize to you! Zhengyin's apology was very sincere, regardless of the fact that there were some children among the other party, he bent down directly, and his head almost touched his knees, "I'm sorry everyone, it's our fault!" ”
In another sentence called stretching out his fist and not hitting the smiling face, Zhengyin's attitude has been corrected to this point, and Asma's original words about wanting to leave were also blocked. He took a sip of mushroom soup with his head down, "Then wait two more days!" ”
