"Happy working together, my dearest friend... Mugwort. “

Hoshino Maki looked at the screen, which was no longer an image, and pronounced the last word.

"Tsuchikage-sama, is he rude?"

Hoshino Maki complained to Onoki next to him.

"I think he's already very personable, and if the time permits, I have no doubt that he'll come over and give you a hot mine plow hot knife."

Onoki stood up as usual.

This is the fifth day of negotiations between the three major ninja villages, due to the alliance of Yunyan, Yunnin sent the latest communication equipment to Iwain to facilitate communication, but Shayin Village did not, so Hoshino Maki could only go to Iwain's front line and communicate with Yunnin with Onoki.

Of course, with Hoshino Maki's cautious character, this will definitely not be a real body, but a puppet.

This upgraded puppet is almost identical in structure to a real person, but the bones are still a little different, and it is difficult for others to see unless it is the Hyuga clan.

"Happy cooperation, Tokage-sama."

Onoki and Hoshino Maki shook hands: "Happy cooperation, with you here, it can also relieve our pressure." ”

"Jiraiya can actually put so much pressure on Iwa Shinobi?"

Onoki hesitated, and said with some solemnity: "It's not a problem to come alone, the problem is that there are too many top ninjas in Konoha." The ninjas of the Inuzuka clan and the oil girl clan can always spot our tracks and crack our ambushes. Then the guys from the Shimura clan led the shadows to assassinate our people, and many of our excellent ninjas died in this way, but we lacked countermeasures, and the few outposts we captured were of no practical value. ”

It seems to be soaring, but in fact it is at a disadvantage.

If you are a coward, you may retreat when you hear that both allies are disadvantaged.

Hoshino Mu sneered in his heart, this old thing didn't have a word of truth in his mouth, if he was really inferior, he could spend it with the other party on the front line?

I have already sold Yun Ren and returned to my hometown.

No, with his character, he has to stab Yun Ren in the back.

Sure enough, I heard Onoki speak: "It's better to send troops to attack Jiraiya's troops from behind, and we will definitely be able to catch the other party off guard and eliminate the troops on the western front of Konoha, and the entire Fire Country will be the fat on our board!" ”

After speaking, his body floated in the air and patted Hoshino Maki on the shoulder.

Hoshino Mu also looked moved: "I'll report it to the elders, this piece of fat is really tempting~"

Seeing this, Onoki also nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

After a few pleasantries, Hoshino Mu got up and said goodbye.

When Hoshino Mu's figure disappeared, the warm smile on Onoki's face suddenly disappeared: "Loess, what do you think?" ”

"I think he's just coping, he seems to be easy to talk to, but he doesn't actually promise a thing."

Loess, who had been acting as a guard, said in a dull voice.

He seems to be rough, but as the son of three generations, he also understands some truths about seeing people.

"What about promises, how can ninjas be bound by agreements? The important thing is that Shayin Village put him in charge of negotiations, which shows that his meaning can largely influence the decisions of the Council of Elders, and I didn't expect that group of antiques would also listen to the young people. ”

Onoki shook his head in disappointment as he said this. His son still has a lot to learn, and he can't trust him with the village at all.

"Go and contact the spies in Shayin Village, let them release some more news about the generational grudge between Konoha and Sha Ninja recently, and invite those whose relatives were killed by Konoha to drink, they always have a complaint to make."

"Yes, but..."Loess hesitated a little, and Onoki frowned when he saw this: "If a man has anything, just say it." ”

"It's the letter from the spies before, saying that the consumption level of Shayin Village is getting higher and higher, and the previous activity funds have been used, and I hope that the village will allocate more funds, and if you let them go to the surrounding oases to stand by first, and then gather, I'm afraid of time..."

Loess knew that although he was his son, if he denied his decision in person, he would still be severely reprimanded.

Sure enough, Onoki's face turned red, and he looked at the loess viciously: "Are you questioning my decision?!" ”

"No, no!"

Onoki took two deep breaths and paused: "Forget it, you go and call Han." ”

"Do you want to let Han out of the horse? Will the rear be..."

"It's okay, now Sand and Cloud are allies, there will be no problem in the rear in the short term, it's the top priority to scald those damn bugs and dogs to death first."

Onoki seemed to think of something: "By the way, hire a few more wandering ninjas disguised as Konoha ninjas to attack Hoshino Muki, and be careful not to let our people come forward." ”

Loess was a little puzzled, these wandering ninjas couldn't kill each other, I don't know why my father did this, but he still nodded in agreement.

Following

“... These are the preliminary intentions and terms of the alliance. ”

Hoshino Mu closed the document and looked at the elders and said.

"I heard you ran into an assassin on your way back?"

Cuttlefish roe spoke.

Hoshino Maki shook his head calmly: "It's just some wandering ninjas who want to make money." ”

It is not uncommon for war to make the world's already fragile order even more shattered.

Suddenly, an abrupt voice rang out.

"It's... Our interests are still a little less~"

One of the elders of the Wind Shadow Sect spoke, implicitly accusing the other party of being unfavorable.

Since the two sides are already competitive, don't blame him for picking bones in the egg.

Hoshino Makiichi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What more do you think we should propose, my lord? ”

The elder cleared his throat: "Iwa Shinobi robbed us of so many ore orders before, can we let them cancel it, anyway, those merchants don't dare to do anything to them." Yun Ren should also have a few treasures over there..."

He said a lot, and finally couldn't think of it, so he nodded: "That's it for now." ”

Hoshino Mu nodded, and directly tore the alliance book in his hand, and the sound of stabbing made everyone present stunned.

"I'm just a shallow learner, I can't do what the adults ask, I'm willing to admit the responsibility of doing things unfavorably and go to the prison to wait for the punishment of the Council of Elders, I just hope that the adults can shoulder the heavy responsibility and fight for the benefits you said for Shayin Village."

As he spoke, he threw the book on the ground, turned around and walked away.

The elder's face turned pale. His family knows his own affairs, and he has the ability to find faults, and he is very big, but his ability to do things is very shallow.

If it spreads, because the alliance between his three major ninja villages has broken down, the village has lost many benefits, and Orange Juro's people will take the opportunity to make trouble again, but it will be a very tricky trouble.

But after all, he is a respected elder, and he can't erase his face when he pleads with a junior, and the atmosphere freezes there all of a sudden.

The sand eagle kept giving Luo Sha a look, and Luo Sha sighed secretly in his heart, am I sitting at this table just to wipe the old man's ass?

But even so, he stood up and chased after Hoshino.

After a while, Luo Sha walked back and whispered a few words in the elder's ear, and the elder looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and nodded with difficulty.

Luo Sha went out and soon returned with Hoshino Mu, and everyone continued to discuss the dispatch of troops as if nothing had happened.

————

"Qu Zhen, borrow a fire."

At the outpost on the western border of the Fire Nation, two ninjas in charge of the guard are huffing and lighting traditional cigarettes.

The first snow had just fallen here last night, and although it did not form a thick layer of snow, it was still decorated with a thin layer of silver.

The ninja named Qu Zhen reached out to shield himself from the cold wind, lit a match, and lit one for the man himself.

"Whew~"

The ninja took a deep breath and smiled pleasantly.

"Captain, how long are we going to patrol, there's not even a figure around."

The captain spit out a smoke ring and waved his hand: "Hey, Qu Zhen, you just didn't understand, although there is no one in our southwest corner, it is also safe, you see what the northwest and east are like, these days, life is the most important." ”

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes again, enjoying the pleasure of nicotine.

Qu Zhen is not a big grade, and when he heard the captain's words that were completely different from the ninja school professor's thoughts, he was a little unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "I am a recognized genius in the ninja school, so I should go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the village, if I go to the eastern front, I will definitely be able to make a difference." ”

The captain smiled and didn't speak, if he was really a genius, how could he be sent here?

But he didn't refute the other party, who hasn't had a young and frivolous time.

He took a deep breath, and half of the cigarette quickly turned into a gray flocculent shape around his mouth, drifting away with the cold wind.

At this moment, he saw a black figure in the silver world driving towards them at high speed, and his gaze froze:

"Enemy Attack ——!"

The captain shouted by the neck as he struck the gong beside him vigorously, and the sound of the gong quickly spread throughout the outpost.

"Qu Zhen... Come on! “

The captain swallowed his saliva and took out the kun in front of him, his voice trembling but firm.

"Nope! There are no deserters in Konoha! I'm going to stay and stop the enemy! “

Although Qu Zhen looked flustered, he still mustered up the courage to hold Kunai and stand beside the captain.

"Idiot! That's Hakura, we're not opponents at all, understand?! ! Right away! ”

The captain pushed Qu Zhen away with all his might, and roared fiercely.

As the man's figure drew closer, Hakura's signature outfit let the Konoha captain know who he was up against.

As the border guard force of the country of fire and the country of Sichuan, it is nominally the country of guarding the country, but everyone knows that the country of the river does not even have a ninja village to be guarded, and this is to guard against the sand ninja.

As one of the representatives of the young generation of the sand ninja, Hakura is naturally no stranger to them, but because of this, they feel desperate, and the only thing they can do is to spread the news of the sand ninja invasion back to the village as much as possible.

"Hear me! Get lost! ”

"Yes!"

Qu Zhen clenched the corners of his mouth, and the muscles in his body couldn't help but tremble.

As the only ninja at the outpost who was proficient in wind escape and physical arts, he didn't expect that he would be the only person to carry out such an important mission.

But there wasn't enough time for him to adjust his mentality, he held down the handrail of the watchtower and jumped down, kicked his feet, and the whole person quickly retreated in the direction of the village like an arrow from the string, where there was still a Konoha base.

Just as he was about to disappear into the woods, he couldn't control the thought of turning back, but the scene in front of him almost caused him to go into cardiac arrest.

I saw Ye Cang pinching the captain's neck with one hand and lifting it high, and this originally strong man had turned into a dry corpse, motionless.

At the same time, the shouts of killing and screaming continued to penetrate his ears, and two lines of hot tears unconsciously flowed out of the corners of his eyes, turning into two tear lines against the wind.

Qu Zhen sniffed, the captain entrusted everything to himself, and he didn't have time to be sad anymore.

"Do you need paper?"

A gentle greeting suddenly came from his ears, which shook Qu Zhen's body, and the whole person fell into an ice cellar.
