Chapter 198 The Reputation of the Hidden Rain Village
Since the first Hokage pacified the chaotic world, Konoha has never seized any land in the three wars.
On the one hand, Konoha is always besieged by two or three ninja villages, and it is very difficult to defend the basic base. There is no force to station troops in other territories.
On the other hand, Konoha has always expressed the attitude of peace and never taking the initiative to start a war.
Although under the instruction of the third generation Hokage, the root organization where Danzo is located has also carried out several secret operations to assassinate the leaders of ninja villages and Jinchūriki and subvert small countries.
But it is much better than the Sand Village, Rock Village and Cloud Village who want to annex land directly.
This series of actions made Konoha gain the favor of the small countries in the ninja world, making these small countries become one of Konoha's vassals in disguise.
In the original plot, every time Naruto performs tasks related to small countries, it brings huge benefits to Konoha.
The Naruto Bridge in the Wave Country has strengthened the connection between the Wave Country and the Fire Country, and the friendship with Gaara has also made the Sand Village highly dependent on the Konoha Village, becoming a vassal country that is not a vassal country.
If you want to completely defeat Konoha, you must cut off the connection between Konoha and these small countries, let them go to the Rain Country, and eventually become the territory of the Akatsuki organization.
Retracting his gradually scattered thoughts, Bai Ye found a stone to sit down and waited for the negotiation to continue.
At this time, Xiaonan came over and saw Bai Ye sitting on the stone to rest, and hurriedly said: "Are you injured in the battle with the Fourth Raikage just now?"
Xiaonan actually doesn't care about the future of the Akatsuki organization, she only cares about her companions around her.
After hearing Xiaonan's concern, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a descendant of Uzumaki? Although the fist of the Fourth Raikage is relatively hard, it can't hurt me."
Hearing this, Xiaonan was relieved, and then said, "That's good. I didn't expect that you actually have the strength to confront the Fourth Raikage head-on. You have left us far behind."
Bai Ye smiled mysteriously and said to Xiaonan randomly, "All this is my effort. Senior Xiaonan, have you seen the sky of the Hidden Rain Village at four o'clock in the morning?"
Xiaonan shook his head: "In order to make detonating talismans, I often get up at three o'clock to prepare raw materials."
Hearing this, Bai Ye was speechless. It seems that the introverted kings of the Hidden Rain Village are more powerful than each other.
...
As the negotiations continued, many senior ninjas in the area that originally had only three people joined the negotiations.
The key to this negotiation is to withdraw troops, discussing whether the Cloud Ninja should withdraw from the territory of the Land of Fire or the Land of Soup.
Facing this issue, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage have been arguing endlessly.
Jiraiya insisted that the Cloud Ninja withdraw from the Land of Hot Water, while the Fourth Raikage only withdrew from the Land of Fire. The Land of Hot Water itself had nothing to do with Konoha, and Konoha had no power to interfere.
Yahiko didn't know which side to lean towards, and listened to the quarrel between the two silently.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward and said to the Fourth Raikage: "The Hidden Cloud Village must withdraw from the Land of Hot Water this time and compensate Konoha with enough war reparations."
The Fourth Raikage glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and said: "Are you the head of the Uchiha clan? You are not qualified to tell me that I asked you to open the Mangekyō Uchiha and come here."
Hearing this, Fugaku clenched his fists.
The Fourth Raikage actually mentioned Shisui in front of him, and thought that he had no right to speak. When had the Uchiha ever suffered such humiliation.
He wanted to explode and teach the Fourth Raikage a lesson.
But except for Uchiha Shisui, no one in the family could be the opponent of the Fourth Raikage. If he took action at this time, it would only become a joke.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Shisui beside him and said, "Shisui, you should fight for the interests of the village."
Shisui nodded, walked to the Fourth Raikage and said, "Lord Raikage, I am Uchiha Shisui. What the clan leader said just now is right. The Cloud Ninja must withdraw from the Land of Hot Springs and must compensate Konoha for its losses."
The Fourth Raikage looked Shisui up and down, and then said, "You are Shisui. We can talk about withdrawing troops later. I have something to ask you."
Shisui had already guessed what the Fourth Raikage was going to say, but still nodded and said, "Please speak, Lord Raikage. If Shisui knew, he would definitely answer."
The Fourth Raikage stared at Shisui and said, "Uchiha Shisui, where did the Bokuto go? The war is about to end, and Konoha should return the Jinchūriki."
"This..." Shisui hesitated.
At this time, Jiraiya said slowly: "Sir, the Fourth Raikage, Konoha also wants to return the Jinchūriki, but the Jinchūriki died with the tailed beast, leaving nothing behind."
"Dead?"
The Fourth Raikage's eyes were blazing with fire, and he said angrily: "How could Yukito die? How dare you, Konoha, kill the Jinchūriki?"
Jiraiya said disapprovingly: "Yukito has been wreaking havoc in the Land of Fire for so long, it is normal for him to be killed. If the Hidden Cloud Village wants to recover the Two-Tails, it should wait until the Two-Tails are resurrected."
The Fourth Raikage's face was extremely ugly, but he tried hard not to get angry and said: "Since Yukito is dead, for safety reasons, the Cloud Ninja cannot evacuate the Land of Hot Water."
Hearing this, Jiraiya didn't know what to say.
He was good at leading troops to fight and stealth assassination, but he knew nothing about these diplomatic and political work.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya searched the crowd and wanted Shikaku to negotiate on his behalf.
But after looking around, Jiraiya didn't see Shikaku's figure, so he could only bite the bullet and argue with the Fourth Raikage about withdrawing troops.
After listening to the conversation for more than ten minutes, Yahiko seemed to have remembered something and said:
"Jiraiya-sama, Raikage-dono, I think regarding the issue of the Kingdom of Yu, we should ask the leader of the Yugakure Village. Only he can decide the affairs of the Kingdom of Yu."
Upon hearing this, both Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage were stunned.
When will Konoha and Kumogakure still listen to the opinions of Yugakure Village? Konoha is an ally of Yugakure Village, so it naturally has the power to make decisions for Yugakure Village.
And Tangyin Village is not qualified to negotiate with Yunyin Village.
Among all the ninja villages in the ninja world, only the five major ninja villages have equal status. The remaining small and medium ninja villages have no say at all.
To put it bluntly, he looks like a ninja of the Sannin level.
Able to easily conquer a small country and build a new village with the daimyo's permission.
However, after looking at each other, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage both nodded and agreed to Yahiko's proposal. At the moment when the two sides were arguing, they could only listen to the thoughts of the leader of Yugakure Village.
The leader of Yuyin Village usually doesn't matter, but they must consider the opinions of Yuyin Village.
Although Amegakure Village is only a small country, its military strength is always weaker than the top five ninja villages, and Amegakure Village also has strong men like Byakuya, Yahiko, and Konan.
The right to speak in the ninja world is already equal to that of the five major ninja villages.
However, the leader of Yuyin Village is still in Tang Country, and it will take a lot of time to arrive, and this negotiation seems to have come to an end.
