Chapter 206 Talks

After pondering for a moment, the Fourth Raikage said to Bai Ye:

"Byakuya Jonin, I'm just telling the truth. I will definitely not believe that your Amegakure Village will really stick to Konoha's side."

"Don't forget, Konoha invaded the Land of Rain more than 20 years ago, and Kumogakure Village has no enmity with your Umogakure Village."

Hearing this, Bai Ye fell into deep thought and then nodded:

"What Raikage-sama said makes sense. Konoha did invade the Land of Rain. What should the Hidden Rain Village do next?"

"..." Faced with Bai Ye's question, the Fourth Raikage couldn't hold himself any longer.

He didn't know whether Byakuya was pretending to be stupid or deliberately disgusting him, but his original intention was to stir up conflict between Konoha and Amegakure, but now it seemed that he had failed.

He could only bite the bullet and say to his subordinates: "Qilabi, Azabuyi, let's go in first."

After the Fourth Raikage left, Byakuya came to Jiraiya and said with a chuckle:

"Brother Jiraiya, don't fall for the Raikage's plan to sow discord. The friendship between Amegakure Village and Konoha will last for many years, just like the friendship between Uchiha and Senju."

"The friendship between Uchiha and Senju..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened. Byakuya's words were full of flaws, and they seemed to be trying to drive a wedge between Uchiha and the Hokage family.

After all, it is really unknown whether the friendship between Uchiha and Senju is strong or not.

Without waiting for Jiraiya to speak, Byakuya walked into the conference room briskly, followed closely by Yahiko and said to Jiraiya:

"Jiraiya-sensei, Bai Ye is a little childish sometimes, please be patient with me."

Jiraiya was a little helpless, but he could only nodded, then waved his hand and led his subordinates into the conference room.

…

As all the ninjas participating in the meeting arrived, the talks officially began.

Jiraiya took the document from Nara Shikaku, showed the seal of the Fire Nation daimyo, and said slowly:

"Konoha has received the authorization from the Fire Country Daimyo. Is the same true for your village?"

The Fourth Raikage nodded, and then took out the document with the red seal from the Kingdom of Thunder, and said: "Yinyin Village has obtained the authorization from the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, and has full authority to act as the agent for the entire Kingdom of Thunder."

Seeing this scene, Byakuya laughed secretly in his heart and lamented the weird system of one country and one village in the ninja world.

Although the five major ninja villages are the military forces of the five major countries, they cannot fully represent the five major countries. When conducting a series of actions such as declaring war and holding talks, they need the authorization of the daimyo.

There is nothing wrong with this behavior at first glance, but it feels very strange if you think about it carefully.

It's just that why should an ordinary daimyo cooperate with a ninja who has mastered extraordinary power, and nominally dominate the ninja village?

Is it because of the bloodline of a born noble, or is it because of other reasons?

But even in terms of bloodline, the blood successor ninja clan will be much nobler than the daimyo, such as the Uchiha, Hinata and other ninja clans, they have truly inherited the bloodline of the 'gods'.

Against the background of the five major countries and the five major ninja villages, a country with no big name like the Rain Country becomes strange.

After the verification process was completed, Jiraiya said to the Fourth Raikage: "Your village has occupied the Country of Yu since March last year and launched an attack on the Country of Fire. Konoha's request is for Kumogakure to compensate Konoha. Ye paid a war reparation and evacuated from Tang Country."

Hearing this, Yahiko nodded, and then said to the Fourth Raikage: "Lord Raikage, is what Lord Jiraiya said true?"

"The attack on the Fire Nation is undisputed."

After a pause, the Fourth Raikage continued: "But the occupation of Tang Country is a unilateral frame-up by Konoha, and it is a fabrication of nothing."

"First, there is no conflict between Yunyin Village and Tangyin Village. Secondly, when we send troops into the Country of Tang, we have the support of a treaty and it is not an illegal invasion."

After saying that, the Fourth Raikage clapped his hands and asked Azabu Yi beside him to take out a document.

This is an agreement for Tangyin Village to request Yunyin Village to garrison troops. It is stamped with the official red seal of Tangyin Village. It does record Tangyin Village's agreement to request garrison troops.

Yahiko did not speak, but took the document and handed it to the leader of Yuyin Village beside him.

The leader of Tangyin Village took the document, glanced at it briefly, nodded and said, "This is indeed the seal of our Tangyin Village."

After hearing this, the Fourth Raikage smiled with satisfaction:

"We Kumogakure sent troops to expel the Konoha Ninja Village in the Country of Yu. As for the subsequent war near the Country of Fire, it is just a continuation of this action."

Jiraiya's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the leader of Yugakure Village and then at the Fourth Raikage.

At this time, Nara Shikaku on the side couldn't help but said: "Chief Yugakure, dare I ask if this agreement was signed by you and Kumogakure? I remember that you and our Konoha also signed a similar agreement."

"If you sign two agreements at the same time, can Konoha think that Yuno Country has betrayed the alliance agreement?"

The leader of Tangyin Village changed his expression, and then said: "The agreement with Yunyin Village is indeed correct, but it was the agreement signed by the previous leader, but the previous leader betrayed the village, and that agreement has expired. "

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "Did you hear this, Lord Raikage? This is an agreement signed by the previous leader. The agreement signed by the rebel ninja will not work."

The Fourth Raikage heard this and said calmly:

"I see, but Kumogakure is not aware of this. This is also a unilateral breach of contract by Yugakure Village. I still remember that the penalty for breach of contract is to open several ports within the territory of Yu Country. Please ask Yugakure Village to deliver the ports as soon as possible."

Nara Shikaku was delighted. The Fourth Raikage did not seem to intend to continue the war.

The village's request for this meeting was to sign a peace agreement, even if it meant selling out some of the interests of the Fire Country. After all, Orochimaru's defection had a huge impact on the village.

Now, the Fourth Raikage only asked for a few trading ports, and Konoha could still maintain the alliance with Yugakure Village, which was already a very cost-effective deal for Konoha.

However, since there is room for bargaining, we must strive for more benefits for the village.

Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku said: "Lord Raikage, the agreement has been invalidated. Besides, Yuyin Village and Konoha have similar cooperation. I am afraid that these ports cannot be given to you."

Nara Shikaku and the Fourth Raikage were discussing the allocation of ports in the Land of Tang, but the leader of Yuyin was indifferent. This scene was very magical and absurd.

If it were normal, the leader of Yuyin would have lost all hope, but today he had other choices.

The leader of Yuyin looked in the direction of Yahiko, and Yahiko also looked over. After exchanging glances, Yahiko said:

"Shikaku Jonin, Lord Raikage, should we listen to the opinions of Yuyin Village?"
