Chapter 249: Crazy scheming, when he found a few dark-skinned ninjas mixed in with the reception team in Kirigakure Village, he couldn't help but frown.
This kind of skin color is one of the characteristics of the citizens of the Kingdom of Thunder. Compared with the fog ninjas who wear thicker clothes, their clothes appear to be much thinner, and some even wear short-sleeved or sleeveless vests.
The forehead protectors tied to their foreheads also showed their identity as ninjas of Kumogakure Village, and they were not meant to be concealed at all.
"What does Kirigakure mean?" Even Rock Lee, who was slow to react, frowned when he noticed the Kirigakure ninjas among the Kirigakure ninjas, not to mention the thoughtful Shikamaru.
The Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder are not allies, and Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are not allies. When Kirigakure Village welcomed the people of Konoha Village, they openly brought out the ninjas from Kumogakure Village to meet them. Do they think they are a rare commodity? Or are they?
Prepare to use Kumogakure to demonstrate against Konoha?
Shikamaru could not accurately guess what the Kirigakure Village was thinking, but he was certain of one thing, that is, the Kirigakure Village was not very sincere about the upcoming negotiations with the Konoha Village. The Kirigakure Village and the Cloud Ninja welcomed everyone in Konoha
, and there is no intention of showing off his power.
"What a coincidence." Aburame Shino whispered to himself. With his mind, he naturally understood that the subsequent negotiations in Konoha Village would definitely not go smoothly. Kumogakure Village would not sit back and watch Konoha and Kirigakure reach an agreement.
They will definitely obstruct the actions and plans of everyone in Konoha in every possible way, and the original action plan will inevitably be changed.
Although Shikamaru and other ninjas from the Leaf Village had various thoughts swirling in their minds after discovering that the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja were mixed together, there was not much hesitation in their actions. Jiraiya and Chun were the first to greet them.
A beautiful woman standing in front of a group of mist ninjas.
The woman who stood at the head of the Mist Ninja team had long hair that reached her knees. Her long, slightly curly bangs covered her right eye. The long sideburns on both sides of her cheeks hung softly on her chest. She had a slender figure, shoulders and chest half exposed, and her eyes were like water.
, Tan's mouth opened slightly. Compared with the equally naturally beautiful Tsunade, the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei was less heroic and more feminine. She looked like a well-educated lady, rather than a battlefield warrior.
The ninja village leader.
It's just that everyone in Konoha, including Shikamaru, and even Jiraiya, who has always been obsessed with sex and has no formal appearance, don't believe that Terumi Meishen is as weak as she appears.
Following Terumi Mei were two old men who looked extremely old. One of them was even holding a cane. They were trembling and seemed to be in danger of dying if they took even two steps. They were of higher seniority and represented the Fifth Hokage.
Tsunade, whose status was not lower than that of Terumi Mei, greeted her with neither humility nor arrogance, then her eyes fell directly on the Kumo ninja not far behind him, and said straight to the point: "I am here to discuss trade with your village on behalf of the Fifth Hokage this time.
Regarding the alliance, I hope you can arrange time as soon as possible." With a direct attitude, he pursed his lips and chuckled, declining the other party's proposal and saying: "It's getting late, and you have been traveling for so long, so you must have already traveled.
We are very tired. We have arranged the accommodation. You should take a rest now, and then we can negotiate together!" Hearing this, he pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he responded dryly: "Okay." Promise yourself.
After making the suggestion, he waved his hand to the Mist Ninjas to open the door, and personally led everyone in Konoha Village to the hotel where they were staying. After being polite, he left with all the Mist Ninjas, leaving everyone in Konoha alone.
"Neji!" Shikamaru saw Terumi Mei and Kiri Ninja leaving the room, so he immediately signaled to Jiraiya that after the outsiders left, he did not hide his feelings, his brows were tightly knitted together, his face
His expression even looked a little gloomy, but he did not talk immediately, but waited for the results of Rixiang Neji's examination.
Ri made a seal with Ningci's hands, and bulges like earthworms clustered in the corners of his eyes suddenly appeared, making his delicate face look a bit ferocious. After scanning twice around the house, he whispered: "There are three people
The mist ninja is watching us outside the hotel, but he can't hear our conversation from this distance."
"Shino." Shikamaru signaled to Aburame Shino after he saw Ri had lifted his eyes from Neji.
After hearing Shikamaru's words, Aburame Shino didn't respond much. He spread his hands, and dense parasites spread out from all over his body. In one breath, most of his body was covered, and as he
With a command, these ugly, numbing insects flew around the room, climbing and exploring every corner of the room. After a while, after inspecting almost every inch of the room, Aburame
Shino took back the swarm of bugs and reported to Shikamaru in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with this room."
Shikamaru and others felt relieved and could talk in the room with peace of mind, discussing what they had seen and heard at the gate of Kirigakure Village.
"How did the ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village arrive by such a coincidence!?" Jiraiya moved a chair and sat down, then asked in a solemn voice: "Did they get wind of it when we just left Konoha Village?"
"Now is not the time to discuss 'why they came'. We should carefully imagine what we are going to do next and how to bring Kirigakure's mind back to the negotiation table." Chun sighed as he went to bed and sat on the same chair.
He said: "The Hidden Mist Village is not prepared to negotiate with us immediately, but will let us rest first. This is a dangerous signal."
"The ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village must also want to form an alliance with Kirigakure Village. On the contrary, it is not difficult for them to guess our purpose." Ri turned to Neji and leaned against the wall, folded his hands on his chest, and frowned and said: "But
The few ninjas from Yunyin Village don't seem to be very young. Do they have the same plan as us? From this point of view, our original plan may not be copied."
The thing that makes everyone in Konoha Village most passive now is not just the arrival of Kumogakure. From the previous two points of welcoming Konoha Village with Kumo Shinobi, and Terumi Meimei's polite refusal to transfer to Xiaochun's request for immediate negotiation, it can be seen that
In terms of attitude towards the two ninja villages, Kirigakure Village is more biased towards Kumogakure Village, which makes everyone in Konoha feel a little troublesome.
Weak countries have no diplomacy. Although Konoha Village can use trade interests to win over the Water Country and Kirigakure Village, their original plan is to gradually increase their chips after Shikamaru and others show their strength. If they just rely solely on transfer benefits to win over
Other countries will only become coveted objects. If the Kirigakure Village feels that it can gain more benefits by invading the Country of Fire, why should it form an alliance with the Konoha Village? The Konoha Village must show the strength that makes the Kirigakure Village flinch, and transfer
Only the interests can play their due role.
Therefore, the outcome of the battle between Shikamaru and others and the Kiri ninja is the focus of this negotiation. But now that the ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village have suddenly arrived, they will definitely not sit back and watch Shikamaru and others successfully complete their mission, and there is a possibility of a fight.
Although Rixiang Neji and others have full confidence in their own strength, the more battles they fight, the greater the possibility of accidents, and there is even the risk of a wheel battle.
What's more, goods that are competed for by others can often be sold at higher prices. Kirigakure Village has more choices, even if everyone in Konoha can reverse the situation and let Kirigakure Village focus on negotiations with Konoha Village.
On the table, Kirigakure Village, which has rare things to live in, can also seek more benefits from this, which is not what Konoha Village wants to see.
Even among the allies, there are priorities, and Konoha Village definitely does not want to fall into the second place.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit silent, with several people frowning and thinking about possible plans.
"Our initial purpose was not to form an alliance with Kirigakure Village." After a long time, Shikamaru broke the silence and said, "As long as Kirigakure Village and Kumogakure Village are not allowed to form an alliance."
When Jiraiya heard this, his heart moved. He looked at Shikamaru with a cold expression and asked hesitantly: "What do you mean..."
"Kill the negotiators of Yunyin Village, or even uproot the entire negotiation team of Yunyin Village." Shikamaru said in a calm tone. Judging from his expression, it seemed that the unscrupulous killing of competitors in the outer village was just a matter of course.
A trivial matter: "As long as the Kirigakure Village has no choice, even if they are unwilling to ally with us because of this, it is still better than falling into the arms of the enemy."
Rock Lee stared at Shikamaru dumbfounded, as if he was meeting him for the first time. The crazy idea of killing his rival's negotiating team in a shinobi village that had an ambiguous attitude towards him actually came from the mouth of Shikamaru, who had always been calm.
Bring it up!?
"Are you crazy?" Jiraiya frowned after Shikamaru expressed his thoughts, and rebuked unceremoniously: "Unless there is no one left alive and an insider, this kind of behavior is tantamount to Konoha directly
Declaring war on Kumogakure Village, wouldn’t Kirigakure Village become angry and hostile to Konoha, and even form an alliance with Kumogakure Village!?”
Jiraiya has always admired Shikamaru, but now he began to doubt his original vision, or maybe it was the long-term praise and a series of honors from the outside world that made Shikamaru lose his mind? Now he actually said such childish remarks.
If Shikamaru's proposal is followed, the Konoha team with Jiraiya in charge will naturally be able to kill all the Kumogakure team, but there is no way to hide such a thing in Kirigakure Village, and it is impossible for Kumogakure Village to swallow its anger after knowing it.
Konoha Village will also be accused of being domineering by the outside world, and the unscrupulous behavior is also a humiliation to Kirigakure Village. It is likely to lead to Kirigakure Village directly forming an alliance with Kumogakure Village, thus triggering the Fourth Ninja World War.
Strangely - Konoha Village even took the initiative to give Kumo Hidden Village an excuse to start a war.
Shikamaru raised his eyebrows indifferently upon hearing this, but did not make any more excuses.
