Chapter 127: This is called peace
"What does Konoha mean by that?"
It was obviously a banquet to receive guests, but the scene instantly cooled down, and before Mifune could respond, the other person had already spoken coldly.
Behind Kakashi, several momentum rose, and although it didn't trigger, it put a lot of pressure on the Iron Country samurai present.
"Don't be impulsive." Kakashi whispered, then said to Mifune, "Is this his personal attitude, or is it the attitude of the Iron Country?" โ
He is not quite accustomed to how to conduct diplomacy peacefully and amicably. But as a veteran elite upper ninja, plus these lower ninjas in the team. Once the Iron Country dared to attack, he was sure that he would suppress everyone in a short period of time.
But when the situation gradually became a little uncontrollable, Mifune also spoke at this time: "Konoha should know that our Iron Country has always been a neutral country and does not participate in the struggle of the ninja world. โ
"Isn't the visit of Konoha Hidden Village today to draw the Iron Country into the war?"
When the words fell, Mifune maintained a calm look on his face, and his heart was under great pressure.
[Could it be that Konoha Hidden Village has discovered something? There were so many shinobi this time, and I had long heard that Konoha was actually disguised to be kind to others. Today's visit, I'm afraid it's true to settle accounts]
Slowly scrutinizing in his heart, Mifune's wrist unconsciously grasped the handle of the knife, and then gradually let go.
Some time ago, the four great ninja villages hid Konoha from a private meeting in the Iron Country... Ahem, a meeting, intending to force Konoha by joining forces.
However, in the end, the meeting ended without a hitch, and for some time after that, the ninja world seemed to be calm.
After Mifune used some extra mental energy to think about it, he suspected that Konoha already knew that it was time to settle accounts with Autumn Queen.
"The battle situation? No, Konoha Hidden Village has no intention of starting a war. Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then explained Yoyo, "You can take a closer look at this plan, Konoha Hidden Village is here for peace. โ
"In fact, the Belt and Road Initiative, the most benefited are the neighboring countries involved. Before that, the country of waves, the country of taki, and the country of grass had all agreed. โ
"If the Iron Nation doesn't agree, we won't force it."
As the words fell, Kakashi made a code, and he calmly returned to his original position.
Opposite him, Mifune hesitated, and wanted to say that since he didn't force it, then forget it! However, after looking at the few people behind Kakashi, he silently swallowed back the words.
Konoha shinobi fights, which makes everyone in the know feel a little afraid.
Observing that one of them had already brought a shinobi forehead, Mifune didn't dare to relax even more. He had a good memory, so although he saw the middle ninja forehead, he remembered that the little girl was still shinobi when the reputation spread a few months ago.
"It's just a business dealing, isn't it?" After calming down, Mifune asked, a little suspicious in his heart.
This is the habitual thinking of ninja people.
And in the past, ninjas were basically not in business, and the survival mode was to rely on taking on missions. During the Warring States period, the major families fought endlessly, and the daimyo was actually not very happy.
After the establishment of the one-village-one-state system, the life of the daimyo and nobles became much more comfortable.
Even if the ninjas fight to the death, they will no longer focus on the daimyo, and to some extent it is much more stable.
Therefore, when a village where ninjas gather sent someone to talk to them about business, Mifune subconsciously thought it was an excuse.
Where do they have so many missions to post, but a group of samurai in the country who still advocate bushido still have some advantages in force,
Since ancient times, the strongest neutral country outside of the Five Great Powers has been the Iron Country.
Seeing that Mifune was still a little skeptical, Kakashi was not in a hurry, and began to explain a few words of general operation unhurriedly.
According to the Hokage's order, all the countries that are going to be visited today will definitely agree to join.
Even if you don't want to at first, you have to be willing later.
The kindness of a ninja is never shown only to his own people.
"To put it simply, with the development of productive forces, the ninja world will enter the industrial age in the near future, and the commodity economy will be greatly developed." Kakashi said slowly, naturally as if this was Konoha here, "Your Excellency, as the guardian of the Iron Country, believes that it is still for the sake of this country. โ
"And a country, if it can't open up, participates in the functioning of the world economy. It is inevitable that they will fall behind, for example, some of the products sold in the Iron Country now, if they do not keep up with the times, will quickly depreciate. โ
"By participating, we can achieve common prosperity and common development."
Luckily, he was wearing a mask, otherwise Kakashi wouldn't have been embarrassed to say what he said later. Perhaps, after wearing a mask, people's skin can also be correspondingly thicker.
Konoha Hidden Village has pulled so many countries into the road of development for thousands of miles, and also provides preferential treatment in trade, naturally not to be a bad person, sacrifice himself, and feed his friends.
If the Belt and Road Initiative is completed and the ninja economic community headed by Konoha Hidden Village is built, then Konoha Hidden Village can affect more than half of the ninja economy to a certain extent.
A lot of inside information, Kakashi actually hasn't had time to understand it yet.
But according to his keen intuition, he could see how much this plan would help the completion of the five-year plan of Konoha Hidden Village.
In the end, the population of Konoha is still too small, and even if the people are rich, the domestic sales ability is still a little worse.
Some products, no matter how good and cheap they are, the villagers only need so much, and no matter how much they produce, they can only be put in the warehouse to become moldy.
After the establishment of the Belt and Road Initiative, factories that are one level behind can be built in friendly countries, and unsalable products can be sold in the past. It can be said that this plan is not for the present, but for the future.
Mifune was a little dazed when he heard this, just like Jiraiya, who first came into contact with this way, he spent the most time on the kendo he was obsessed with, and the other aspects were correspondingly worse.
Now, since Kakashi began to speak, his train of thought has basically followed Kakashi's words.
To make Mifune breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Konoha is indeed not here to settle accounts this time.
And because he didn't know much about this, he could only follow Kakashi's train of thought. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it really made sense.
Moreover, if it is only an economic exchange, it should not affect the status of the Iron Country as a neutral country.
Especially after knowing that other countries have already joined, Mifune felt a sense of urgency in his heart when he imagined that the Iron Country he was guarding was left behind because he didn't have time to join.
However, if he agreed directly like this, he was afraid that he would be cheated.
At this time, his subordinates, the strongest of several samurai, answered for him: "Although what Your Excellency said is very good, how can you prove that these are the truths? And even if economic and trade exchanges are carried out, how can the safety of this process be guaranteed? โ
Kakashi didn't explain any more, just said, "We Konoha don't like to force others to do anything, if the Iron Nation doesn't want to, then forget it." This is a document written by a daimyo, you can think again. โ
"Well, in addition to this important matter, several of our juniors in Konoha also have some private matters to come to some kendo powerhouses to have a discussion."
The words fell, and the atmosphere became solemn again.
Here in the eighth class, I was a little excited in my heart, did I finally use them? Then he looked at the samurai, holding Akamaru in his teeth, and quietly dodged two steps back.
"So after all, is Konoha still here to stir up trouble?" Mifune stood up at this time, but although his hand was pressed on the hilt, he was only making an attitude.
"Kakashi-sensei has already made it clear, it's just a friendly exchange." Sakura stood up at this time and spoke calmly, "I've heard of the spirit of bushido, and I've always liked to solve problems through duels. However, we are both new ninjas who have just graduated, and I have just been promoted to mid-ninja, so I have to fight one of you. โ
"Konoha is currently a shinobi Haruno Sakura, please advise."
Sakura stood calmly in front of the samurai, with a gentle smile on her face, trying to show the friendliness of Konoha Hidden Village.
And behind her, from the teammates of the seventh class to the tenth class, their pupils shrank.
Kakashi felt that the person who was on the field was not quite right, and directly let Sakura play, did this not give Iron Country a chance?
"What does Konoha Hidden Village mean? It's just a middle forbearance, is it easy to bully when we are in the Iron Country? One of the samurai, who didn't know much about the situation, spoke, and next to him, a man pulled him gently.
Mifune looked at Sakura's forehead guard on her head, not very concerned, and when she heard her name, her expression immediately changed.
"Corner, stand down." He quickly stopped the somewhat impulsive subordinate, and then said to Kakashi, "I didn't say I disagreed, what does Konoha Hidden Village mean by this?" โ
"It's a bit of a rude on our part." Kakashi said, saying to Sakura, "Sakura-chan, if you challenge others, you still have to follow the rules of bushido, and follow the customs of the locals." โ
Although he wanted to let Sasuke play at first, since Sakura volunteered to play, Kakashi would not disagree.
I believe that with Sakura's calmness, there must be a measured start.
On the other side, Osuke, who had been cold-faced, pulled his companion and whispered a few words, which suddenly made the impulsive samurai's face change slightly.
Originally, looking at the situation on Kakashi's side, he thought that the weakest was Sakura-chan, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Got it, Kakashi-sensei." Sakura replied, then changed to a polite approach and continued to invite the fight.
In the rear, Sasuke and Naruto looked at the group of samurai in the Iron Country with some sympathy. It seems that Sakura doesn't want to delay time here, and is ready to take action herself.
still remembers the country of waves and his party, even if he didn't kill in the face of the S-class traitorous ninja Momochi, Sakura didn't make a move at that time.
"Forget it, I'll accompany Your Excellency to practice!"
Mifune said this, feeling a little helpless.
It's just that as the current strongest person in the Iron Country, it is necessary for him to stand up.
However, at this time, out of the dignity of a samurai, he was reluctant to let Mifune replace him, and he said directly: "Since you want to fight in the way of a samurai, then say well, the ninja's means cannot be used." โ
Having not seen it with his own eyes, he didn't believe Sakura really had the power to subdue the tailed beast with his bare hands.
Therefore, in the eyes of the samurai of this Iron Country, the girl in front of her, who looks like the girl next door, should be more in ninjutsu.
Simply competing in kendo, he has no fear in his heart.
Mifune couldn't help but sigh, and complained in his heart about why this subordinate was so strong. The people of Sand Ninja Village, Zhuli, are still under house arrest in Konoha to this day, can this fact be fake?
"Forget it, let's start training in a different place!"
It just so happens that you can also take a look at the strength of Konoha who has been the most famous genius recently. Mifune thought to himself.
A moment later.
In the cold wind, many pieces of iron fell to the ground on the battle arena without the slightest trace of battle.
"I lost."
The inner corner looked at the broken sword on the ground in a bit of a daze, feeling that his sword path heart seemed to be shattered.
"Now, is this the will of bushido? After losing a battle, you can't get back up again? Sakura said with some pity, then calmly left the center of the arena, "I'll leave the rest to you!" Kakashi-sensei. โ
Kakashi held his forehead a little helplessly, saying that he would come over with friendly sincerity, and it would be okay to be deterred by force, how could he shatter the sword heart of a samurai.
"Your Excellency Mifune, my subordinates are inexperienced, so it is inevitable that they will not know the importance of the attack, please forgive me." However, he calmly continued to speak with Mifune, explaining unhurriedly.
"It doesn't matter, if Lijiao stops because of this failure, his potential will stop here." Mifune has a lot to say in his heart, but he still has to be gentle on the surface.
Because Konoha shows the other side of peace.
Although I was in a hurry, I was still moved by Mifune.
In order to quickly complete the goal of building the Belt and Road Initiative, did Konoha Hidden Village send such a luxurious team?
If you refuse to do it any longer, I'm afraid you'll have to face Konoha's new interpretation of the so-called word friendly.
"Regarding Konoha's plan to build the Belt and Road Initiative, I thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed a great thing that would benefit the entire ninja world." Mifune finally changed his words, and reluctantly pulled out a smile, "As long as the things involved do not exceed the part of the plan, I, the Iron Country, will naturally agree." โ
In the end, he still added such a sentence, he didn't want to end up with samurai having to participate in the war because of economic connectivity.
The ninja war has been going on for many years, and I don't know how many people have been displaced because of it, and Mifune doesn't want the Iron Country to be involved.
"Of course, my Konoha Hidden Village has always been kind to people." After saying this calmly, Kakashi felt as if something had fallen, and it was the kind he couldn't pick up.
Fortunately, after this country, there is only one last land of the country.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the middle of another race, Kakashi was not affected by the high speed of the car and asked, "Sakura-chan, why did you shoot today?" โ
"It's not that Kakashi-sensei is inconvenient to do it, we, as new ninjas, are more suitable to make a move!" Sakura replied slowly.
Seeing that Kakashi was not convinced, she continued to explain, "This mission requires a quick solution. As a ninja, it doesn't make sense to use more means to complete the mission! โ
"Moreover, the outcome of the incident was very satisfying, and we fully implemented the concept of friendship and peace when we left the village."
Hearing this, Kakashi was silent for a moment.
He looked at the people in the seventh and eighth classes again, and they all looked very approving, and he probably understood why he felt wrong at first. It turned out that these people understood his explanation in this way.
[Forget it, when you go back to write the mission report, omit some unnecessary details] In desperation, Kakashi thought to himself.
