Chapter 9 Win-Win
He said he would meet the Kumogakure envoys in the afternoon, but Tobirama did not do so.
He only sent Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo to receive them, and also explained to the other party that he had an emergency to deal with and that they would meet again after a while.
Senju Tobirama did this to delay time.
As long as he wanted to delay time, it would be very simple.
The next day, he asked someone to take the Kumogakure envoys around Konoha. If they saw anything they wanted to eat, they ate it, and if they saw anything they wanted to buy, they bought it. Everything was paid for by Konoha.
This made the not-so-rich envoys very happy, and they all started the shopping mode.
However, this trick only delayed for three days.
The average quality of those who could be sent to Konoha as envoys was still very high.
After three days, seeing that Konoha had no intention of negotiating, the people in the envoys stopped shopping and began to become anxious.
The vast land and resources of the Fire Country Konoha Village could delay, but the Cloud Country of Thunder Village could not.
As the leader, Tie Baoyi felt that this was not going to work. He decided to wait on the road that the Second Hokage had to take to get to work, and he had to get a definite explanation.
Fortunately, Senju Tobirama had known that they would take this action. This guy actually used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get to get off work.
When he opened his eyes, hey~ I'm at the Hokage's office.
When he closed his eyes, hey~ I'm home!
Senju Tobirama: If you have the ability, continue to wait for me on the road, idiot!
Two more days passed like this.
Tie Baoyi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, jumping up and down.
Every day Konoha delayed, the Hidden Cloud Village would suffer for one more day.
"Leader, how about we make a big deal and force the Second Hokage to see us?"
There are still capable people in the delegation.
Seeing that Senju Tobirama has been avoiding them, they will force him to come out and meet them.
"Oh? What are your plans?"
"We can do this first, and then this."
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
"No problem."
The sixth day of the Kumogakure delegation coming to Konoha.
I don't know where in Konoha it started, but there were rumors that Konoha didn't care about the ninjas on the front line. The Kumogakure came for peace, but Senju Tobirama, the sixth one, just avoided them.
In order to secure his position as Hokage, he ignored the death of the ninjas on the front line and chose peace instead.
Is the life of Konoha ninja so cheap?
That's right, the method chosen by the Kumogakure delegation is to spread rumors.
It has to be said that rumors are still so useful no matter when.
At this stage, there are not as many civilian ninjas in Konoha Village as in the later period.
Most of the ninjas on the battlefield are ninjas from the Konoha family.
Some smart people know that this is a rumor spread by the Kumogakure Mission.
But most people think that there is no smoke without fire.
They think that only after weakening the ninja family, the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, will be able to sit safely.
Blame it on the fact that Senju Tobirama's strength is not as strong as his elder brother.
If he is so strong, does he still need to care about the thoughts of these ninja families?
Are you dissatisfied?
Really thousands of hands to serve.
In addition to rumors, the Kumogakure Mission also played the emotional card and distributed leaflets everywhere, saying that if a peace agreement is signed as soon as possible, the ninjas can go home as soon as possible.
The cherry blossoms in Konoha Village are about to bloom, and the Konoha ninjas want to go home to see the cherry blossoms!
"These guys really took great pains to meet me."
In the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama looked at the leaflets in his hand and smiled contemptuously.
"Then, teacher, when will you go to meet them?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's delay for another two days. We have to make them think that they forced me to meet, not that I took the initiative to meet them. In this way, we can ask for a high price at the negotiation table and continue to delay time."
"I understand."
Two more days passed, and the major families in the village had begun to send people to inquire about the news.
Knowing that these people had begun to get restless, Senju Tobirama could only "helplessly" meet with the Cloud Hidden Village delegation.
"Let me first explain our bottom line. The time is determined by us, and the location must be in Konoha Village. As long as these two conditions are agreed, we can continue to talk."
As soon as I sat on the chair in the conference room, I heard such an outrageous condition from the Konoha side.
Of course, the people on the Cloud Hidden Village would not do it.
The time is determined by you?
This is not that we can't talk about it.
But putting the negotiation location in Konoha Village is absolutely not okay.
Put yourself in their shoes. You, Konoha, will definitely not let the second generation Hokage go to the Cloud Hidden Village.
Therefore, the two parties started to argue about the negotiation location.
Konoha's side was tough at first, then relaxed, and finally compromised.
The discussion on the location lasted for ten days.
"At this rate, we should be able to determine the location of the negotiations tomorrow."
"Ha, this is also thanks to the good eloquence of the leader."
"Haha, the credit is not just mine. When we return to the village, I will ask for credit for each of you."
The hotel where the Kumogakure delegation stayed was filled with laughter.
The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was also quite relaxed.
"They should be very proud now. It only took them ten days to get us to compromise on the negotiation location."
Having said that, Shimura Danzo looked very disdainful.
"They got the result they wanted, and we also completed the plan to delay time. What is this called? This is called a win-win situation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was calm, and he even had the mind to joke.
"Hiruzen, when did you become so hypocritical? Can this be called a win-win situation?"
"Danzo, you are too old-fashioned. How can this not be a win-win situation?"
Senju Tobirama also thought it was a win-win situation.
But it was different from what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
He thought that in addition to successfully delaying time, he also knew some unstable factors in the Konoha ninja family.
All the families who came to him to inquire about the news a few days ago were recorded in his little notebook. When the matter was over, he would settle accounts with them.
You see, he, Tobirama Senju, won twice, how could it not be a win-win situation?
He did not explain to the two of them. Seeing that Hiruzen and Danzo were about to quarrel, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk for now."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the light curtain will come soon."
Senju Tobirama had just finished speaking in the last second, and the light curtain appeared directly in front of the three people in the next second.
"Haha, it seems that my guess is correct."
"The official inventory video in the light curtain is once a month."
"If there is a special video, the light curtain will appear again half a month after the official inventory video."
Senju Tobirama was still somewhat complacent after guessing the pattern of the appearance of the light curtain.
Fortunately, he adjusted his mentality quickly. After a slight smile, he began to look at the image on the screen seriously.
