Chapter 276: True Intentions
When he heard Gu Shanbushui talk about the puppet, Markey knew that he was going to suffer.
From the time that Elder Chiyo passed on about puppetry, especially the mystery of human puppetry, Ma Ji knew that the information released by the Gusugi family was definitely not groundless.
Some details that others think are unimportant are too much in line with the characteristics of practicing human puppetry.
If the Red Sand Scorpion really practiced the human puppet technique, not to mention whether the Thousand Generations Elder would kill his relatives in righteousness, the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow Mu Luosha, it would be impossible to successfully accept such a rebellion as the Red Sand Scorpion.
What Sand Shinobi needs is a genius master who can bring hope to his compatriots, not a cancer that will be eaten at any time.
It's not enough to have a "monster" named Iaro in the village, but also to redeem the traitor who has practiced human puppetry?
Ma Ji, who had a heavy heart but a silent face, said solemnly:
"No matter what, we want to bring the Red Sand Scorpion back to Sand Hidden Village and hand it over to the four generations to dispose of......"
"It seems that Maki Shangnin has confessed to the crime committed by the Red Sand Scorpion."
Gu Shanbu Shui said with a smile,
"Putting that aside, what conditions are you going to offer to exchange them back? If they were my subordinates, they would have been executed at the first opportunity, and there would have been no room for quibbling. Even if I don't think that the terms you offer will atone for their sins, considering that they are ninjas of another country, not subjects of the Fire Nation, I have decided to give them a chance to prove their worth again. Of course, you'd better offer a condition that is in line with my mercy and letting them go......"
Who will speak first?
Ma Ji and the loess looked at each other, and finally the loess was still a little wooden and said:
"Our Iwanin is not as rich as Konoha Village, and we can't come up with too much money and materials, so we can only negotiate with the daimyo of our country to open up some mountains, rivers and rivers for the Gusugi family to use, and lift the ban on foreigners opening mines and buying properties in the land country."
"Oh? It sounds okay, but I don't know if it can be implemented. β
In the mountainous areas on the border of the continent like the land of the earth, the only valuable things are the various mineral veins hidden underground.
In the past, those resources were not allowed to be mined by outsiders.,The domineering of the three generations of Tsuchikage-Onoki.,Everyone knows.,The daimyo of the land country is not a good man and a woman.,The land in this country is not rich.,There are many mountains.,There are extremely strong expansion attempts.γ
This time the country was opened to the Gushan family, and the conditions offered were undoubtedly very attractive.
The key is whether these conditions can be met.
It's not an easy task to expect these old guys who have stood tall in the treacherous ninja world for decades to keep their promises.
Once there is a war, or just find a reason to close the door, Gu Shanbushui can only stare dryly, and he can't personally take action to punish the treacherous Iwa Shinobi, right?
Even if he doesn't tear up the agreement, disobey the yang and create all kinds of obstacles, he can still make Gu Shanbushui's hope of expanding his power to the land of earth frustrated.
Whether financial hegemony works or not also needs to be guaranteed by force.
When the other party fails to repay the debt, it has the ability to collect the debt with arms; When you don't pay your debts, others can only stare dryly.
If you can't do it, then you will really become a good money boy who "people are stupid and money comes quickly".
Does Iwa Shinobi have the guts to play tricks on the Furusugi family?
There seems to be!
Will it be able to survive the sanctions?
Most likely, Yan Ren can fight, and he doesn't need to be more powerful than the Gu Shan family, as long as Gu Shanbu Shui feels that the price paid to sanction Yan Ren is greater than the debt itself.
Yan Ren owes a debt of 1 million, and it cost 50 million to collect debts in arms, and he sold Yan Ren to peel and cramp, which is only worth 10 million, so what should Gu Shanbu Water do, is it cost-effective?
Of course, it is to sell 1 million debts to a specialized debt collection company for 100,000, and then add 50 million to reward the heads of the Iwa Shinobi cadres!
If the money is not money, Gu Shanbushui does not care very much, at least not the most important, and it is more important to make those who owe money and not pay it back than to recover the costs and benefits.
For Gu Shanbushui, what capital is not capital, it is a tool, and the key is to use its flow to generate value and indirectly control the entire ninja world.
Of course, Loess didn't understand what Gu Shanbushui was thinking, and he couldn't say anything about the doubts, so he could only swear by the so-called reputation of Yan Shinobi.
"Alright, it seems that you don't have any special solutions. In this way, I agree with the conditions you proposed, and Iwashinobi's stronghold in the country of grass is handed over to me, which can be regarded as substantial compensation. Also, Iwa Shinobi has lifted the restrictions and prohibitions on the participation of ninjas and residents under his command in the 'King of Fighters'......"
Seeing that the loess was going to be discussed again, when he proposed to let the third generation of the earth shadow and Onoki decide, Gu Shanbu Shui said arrogantly:
"Don't think that my kindness is so cheap, change the time and place, maybe the conditions will be different."
"That'...... All right! β
Although Loess is not a master of conspiracy, he is not stupid, and understands that Gu Shanbushui is definitely not bluffing and verbally threatening, but is really ready to take Didara to the knife without saying a word.
"That's good! If you Iwa Shinobi withdraw from the country of grass, you can bring Deidara back, and I hope you don't delay the follow-up conditions. Credibility is easy to destroy, but difficult to establish, so we should cherish it. β
Immediately afterward, Gu Shanbushui turned his attention to Markey.
Deidara is relatively easy to deal with, the key is the sand ninja's side, which is very likely to affect the trend of the "Konoha Collapse Plan" in two years, so I have to be cautious.
"How is your village going to do it? I also have some doubts about the redemption method of the Red Sand Scorpion. β
Gu Shanbu Shui said,
"I won't talk about the state of his person, a top puppeteer, how valuable it is, you sand ninja know better than me. Along with the Red Sand Scorpion, there are dozens of superior human puppets and more than a hundred high-grade golems with their own characteristics, with which you can all re-form a puppet army. Especially ......"
Gu Shanbu Shui added with a slight mockery:
"The strongest wind shadow in the legend, a human puppet made by mastering the body of the three generations of the Blood Inheritance Limit Magnetic Escape; The defense is unparalleled, and the scarlet amber has both offense and defense; and the human puppet scorpion transformed from the body of the red sand scorpion himself, these are all priceless treasures, you ...... You don't think he's an appendage of the Red Sand Scorpion, and as long as you pay the price of a traitor, you'll pack it all up and take it all away, right? β
With these puppets, a small country ninja village that is a little passable can spend a few years cultivating exclusive puppet techniques and arming them, and it is estimated that they can fight a local war with the five major ninja villages.
If you put these things on the black market and peddle them, you don't know how many people will rush to buy them.
"Young Governor Bu Shui, you ...... I'm not a layman who doesn't know anything, so I'm not going to lie and deceive. To tell you the truth, we can still redeem these things, but we can't do this......"
Buy a bunch of puppets that can't be eaten or drunk, and redeem the Red Sand Scorpion that I don't know if it can come in handy, so that other compatriots in Shayin Village can eat soil?
If the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow Luo Sha dares to do this, it is estimated that he will be angry and angry with the crazy Sand Shinobi.
"I understand that the Red Sand Scorpion and his puppet are worth the price, and you can't afford it."
Good things, there are also thresholds to use, the order of Sand Hidden Village has reached the verge of collapse, and the four generations of Kazekage Luo Sha are probably thinking with Orochimaru about how to grab Konoha Village, and by the way, transfer the internal contradictions that are about to break out in the village.
At this time, what are you really going to do with the Red Sand Scorpion and a large pile of powerful puppets?
Konoha Ninja and Iwa Shinobi are not blind!
Open the door, there are weapons of mass destruction, let's check them out!
What can Sand Shinobi do?
Stretching out his head with a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, and pressing down all the chips to bet on the fortune of the country.
"There is only one regeneration core that you have the ability to redeem, and I guess that is what you fancy is it."
Otherwise, don't think about it for the time being, even if you want to buy it, you can't be under the noses of the Iwa Ninja and the Konoha Ninja, but secretly make a deal with the Furusugi family.
Whether it can be done or not, it's up to people!
"The country of Kawanobi is under the sphere of influence of the sand ninja and is handed over to the Furusugi family, and the sea ban on the southern border of the country of the wind is released to a limited extent, allowing the fleet of the Furusugi family to replenish in the port, trade and set up trading stations."
This...... Is it permissible to set up a concession?
Gu Shanbu Shui asked tentatively:
"The consular jurisdiction within the scope of the trading station belongs to the Gusugi family, and the officials of the Land of Sand Ninja and Wind are not allowed to interfere without permission."
"What is 'consular jurisdiction'?"
"Even within the scope of the trading station you leased to the Gushan family, the management and law enforcement rights belong to us, and we have the final say on the laws that are enforced."
Gu Shanbu was too lazy to popularize what colonial strongholds and compradors were to these ninjas who didn't know much, but let Ma Ji understand in a more normal way, but the true meaning was hidden.
"This ...... Your Gushan family's own trading station, of course, you have to take care of it yourself. β
"Then there will be no disagreement."
I'm afraid that there is a huge difference between the trading station that Ma Ji understands and the trading station that Gu Shanbushui understands.
Build a small yard and warehouse, stack goods, intermediary supplies, is a commercial station; The "country within a country", where a castle was built, a fort was erected, and thousands of guards were stationed, and it was also a trading station.
Of course, the latter Furusugi Bushui prefers to call it a concession, at least acknowledging that the ownership belongs to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Sand Ninja, and the Gusugi family is only temporarily "renting for a fee", which not only saves their face, but also keeps the actual interests of the Gusugi family from being lost.
In order to hide his true thoughts, Gu Shanbushui still pretended to bargain with Ma Ji for a long time before he "reluctantly" agreed to the other party's conditions.
"You ...... Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi can send a representative to Inaba Port next week to visit the state of the Akasand Scorpion and Deidara, but they are not allowed to communicate directly. When our cooperation is deepened, when the time is right, we can take them back. β
Hearing this, Ma Ji and Loess breathed a sigh of relief.
The main purpose has been achieved, although the price paid seems to be a bit large, but it is not a short one-time delivery, and it is not too painful.
As an intermediary, Hokage Sandaime and Sarutobi Slash saw that the negotiations between the three parties reached a consensus, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this time, it is best for Konoha Village to be able to eliminate contradictions and minimize the risk of war breaking out.
After the peace talks, Iwa Shinobi left directly on behalf of Loess and wanted to go back as soon as possible to return to the third generation of Tsuchikage, Onoki.
Ma Ji sent a message to the wind and sand iron to return as soon as possible, and told the fourth generation of the wind shadow Raksha about what happened in Konoha Village, and he found an excuse to stay for a while to see if he could meet and talk to Gu Sugi Bushui in private.
The value of so many powerful puppets, especially the puppets of the third generation of Wind Shadow, is too great, and it must be a little difficult to redeem them for a while, but it can't be put on hold.
If you don't leave it alone, who knows where Young Governor Gusugi will sell them?
When the time comes, won't it be even more difficult to recover?
After the general matter is done, Gu Sugmu Bushui will definitely not immediately reach a private deal with Ma Ji, but let Togakure Sunrise talk to him more and explore the details of Sand Shinobi.
After giving orders to Inaba Port and Saga to take over part of the territory, it seems that Furusugibusui has a rare time to relax, and it is the last time of the year to walk around the mountains and rivers near Konoha Village.
Some well-intentioned people who were staring at the young governor of Gushan were also blinded by this leisurely style of Gushan Bushui, and they didn't realize what was done to the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
At the same time, Mizuki, who had been temporarily restricted in his range of activities, had the busiest week.
After being interrogated back and forth several times by the "torture expert" Morino Yin Bixi, and Yamanaka Haiyi hypnotized his mind three times and twice, but did not obtain too valuable information, Konoha Village's vigilance against him was also significantly reduced.
While leisurely accompanying his worried fiancΓ©e Tsubaki, and at the same time paying attention to the movements of Gu Sugi Bushui in Konoha Village, the bad teacher seems to have gotten rid of the trouble of negative emotions, and is honest and does not have any abnormal behavior.
is such an honest style, the third generation of the Hokage, Sarutobi Slash, sees it in his eyes, and it is not easy to target it too much.
Stopping Mizuki's work for so long is really a big blow to a civilian ninja from a humble background.
Years of savings have long been spent on buying precious potions, and if it weren't for Tsubaki's help, Mizuki would have had a problem even eating.
After repaying the basic salary deducted during this time, Mizuki will continue to work at the ninja school, but he will definitely not be a front-line teacher for a while.
The ninja school is so big and the affairs are complicated, of course, it is impossible for everyone to be a teacher who teaches and educates people, and there are many second-line workers, such as the keeper of the management file and the warehouse, which is a very idle job.
γ
Mizuki is still inconvenient to contact some sensitive people and things, so he can only arrange some miscellaneous work that is basically done by newcomers.
Even so, Mizuki didn't show any complaints, except for the occasional mistake because he was too busy and negligent, and there was no more concern for him.
Gradually, the number of observers against Mizuki gradually decreased, until they all disappeared in the end, indicating that Mizuki's level had completely passed.
