Hidden Leaf Village, in the Hokage's office building.
"Have the delegations from the two major ninja villages arrived? Then let's follow the previous arrangements. There is no need to change anything in Yunyin Village. We only need to confirm some details. Iwayin Village
That's where we need to focus more attention. Yan, this point will be left to you. Shikaku, you will assist the Mitomon elders!"
The Third Hokage was sitting on his throne, looking at Mito Kadobu who was sitting beside him, and Shikaku, who happened to be following Huang Tu and returning the Shiganigakure delegation back to the village, and said this.
As for Jiraiya, in the earlier days, when the main force of Iwagakure Village retreated to Iwagakure Village with the Third Tsuchikage, they returned to Konohagakure Village in advance, but they have not shown up yet.
, Jiraiya has never liked to participate in these mundane things. This hero is definitely the type to avoid it when he can.
"Um!"
"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"
Mito Kabuto and Nara Shikaku also responded simultaneously.
"In addition, we must pay attention to strengthening the security of the village during this period. Notify the boundary class and the perception class to ensure that the previous problems do not occur again!"
learn from mistakes.
The mission to Iwagakure Village was still done by Danzo himself, but Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to do it a second time regarding the mission to Kumogakure Village. External monitoring and internal security must be done at the same time.
thing!
"It will be your responsibility to guard the area near the hotel where the mission is stationed, Haiyi, the same!"
The Third Hokage looked at Yamanaka Haiichi, and another young man with scars on his face said this. The man with scars on his face was the same as one of the former Fourth Hokage's close guards.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Yamanaka Haiichi and Bingzu Lei also responded simultaneously.
To be honest before, the Konoha side, from Sarutobi Hiruzen to every ordinary Konoha ninja, has become somewhat lax in mentality, leaving obvious gaps in the village's defense, which seems to be very tight.
But from the perspective of Jonin who is good at sneaking, there are still obvious loopholes that can be exploited. Not to mention many, not configuring the sensing ninja in advance is the biggest failure. Even if the ninjas of the Hyuga clan are not using the Byakugan 24 hours a day,
Taking turns to monitor, as long as there is a higher-level perceptive Jonin, no one in Kumogakure can easily escape the sight of Konoha.
Just like in the original work, the Jounin who reached the level of Maki and Yakushi Kabuto were still noticed by Konoha. This is a good example. This includes Kage-level figures like Huang Tu and Shoji. Once they are looked down upon,
Even with 24-hour surveillance at close range, there is a certain probability that it will be difficult to avoid.
This time, the Third Hokage learned a painful lesson. He must comprehensively strengthen the security and awareness of all aspects of his Ninja Village, and do his best to prevent any accidents from happening to the Cloud Ninja Mission and the Iwa Ninja Mission.
"Well, then, I'll leave it to you to handle it!"
The Third Hokage nodded slightly and said softly.
"yes!"
Mito Monobu, Shikaku, Haiichi, and others also left the Hokage's office building one after another after answering their own questions, and went to carry out their assigned tasks.
at the same time.
Having already arrived at the loess where they were staying at the hotel, Shoji and his party could clearly notice that the number of Konoha security personnel around the hotel had increased a lot, and among this group of people, there were a few people whose white eyes were so attractive.
Attention is drawn to the fact that this jounin of the Hyuga clan is clearly telling people from other villages that when they come to Konoha this time, don’t think about causing trouble. They will definitely keep a close eye on you.
people!
'It's really a luxurious treatment!'
There was a faint bright color in Shoji's pupils, and he murmured softly, although the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is indeed very troublesome, the last time when he sneaked into the Hyuga clan's station, he was even spotted by Hyuga Hizashi at a close position.
There are traces, but that's it. If all the capable ninjas of the Hyuga clan are staying inside the hotel, it will be difficult for the general to do anything.
Otherwise, the general can still find a way to avoid the surveillance of these people and sneak away to carry out his own plan.
In fact, it is indeed impossible for these Konoha ninjas, who are called guards and are actually vigilant and monitoring members of the Iwa Ninja Mission, to enter the hotel. They cannot even really guard the four corners of the hotel. Then
It's really a bit too blatant.
Originally, diplomatic activities between countries and ninja villages could not be done this way. This time, with Kumo Ninja's criminal record, Konoha's behavior fell into the "reasonable category", if it really went further.
Loess, General and the others have a reason to explode!
This is a superficial courtesy relationship that Konoha must maintain. The most important point is that they still have sufficient confidence in the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. No matter how strong the Uchiha General is, personal strength is one thing, and concentration is
,Anonymity and perception, detection are another matter.
Therefore, there is no problem at all from the perspective of these Konoha ninjas by putting a little distance. Moreover, there is another factor. In the last incident, the protagonist was the Kumo Ninja Mission.
Instead of the Iwa Ninja Mission, everyone was still being attacked by their own side. The middle and lower-level Konoha ninjas didn't know about this matter, but Konoha's quasi-high-level officials and the powerful people from the major wealthy ninja clans still knew nothing about it.
Know a thing or two.
The arrangement this time is more about paying close attention to the Kumo Ninja Mission, and Iwagakure Village is also included!
Take precautions before they happen!
"It seems that the last incident of the Cloud Ninja Mission really brought a lot of stimulation to Konoha. This time it is the full surveillance of Akagoguo!"
Entering the interior of the hotel, Akatsuchi was also following him. He looked at the Konoha ninjas on guard not far outside and said with a special meaning.
"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This is considered a routine operation in Konoha!"
Shoji raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly flirtatious tone. Although he said that his eyesight had obvious problems, at this distance, he could still see the vigilance and vigilance of the Konoha ninjas.
Severe color.
"What about your actions, general?"
The other ordinary members of the mission returned to their rooms respectively. At this moment, only Huangtu, Shoji, and Akato were staying together. They were also high-level or quasi-high-level members of Iwagakure Village, and they also knew that Shoji was the leader.
This time I returned to Konoha Hidden Village for a special purpose, but I don't know what the specific content is. Now the surrounding area is closely monitored by Konoha ninjas. This alone is enough for ordinary people to drink a pot.
, plus the Jounin of the Hyuga clan!
Even Loess is not very sure that he can completely avoid the white-eyed surveillance of these Hyuuga clan jounin!
"At this distance, there is still a certain chance, and it depends on the specific situation. No matter how strict the defense and monitoring are, some gaps will still be found!"
General smiled slightly and said.
Peace negotiations between ninja villages are not something that can be done in one or two days. Even between Konoha and Kumo ninja, the conditions have been almost determined, and Konoha has implemented the principle of inseparability.
, it will take several days to truly confirm the final agreement, let alone the peace agreement between their Iwagakure Village and Konoha Hidden Village.
Even the tiniest point of interest is definitely worth the red-faced fight between the two parties. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to give up a certain degree of benefits to Iwagakure Village in exchange for the signing of the peace agreement, it definitely does not mean that Iwagakure Village
Give whatever you want, and you will definitely have to fight for what needs to be fought for!
The Third Hokage who chose compromise and forbearance does not mean that he is completely a fool who gets what he wants. It is foreseeable that the negotiations between the two villages will definitely be protracted. It would be strange not to talk about the last ten and a half days!
Therefore, Shoji has enough time to implement his plan. At any rate, he has to spend some time to understand the general situation of Konoha Hidden Village, especially the Hyuga clan. Shoji must start investigation work and collect as much information as possible.
Useful information.
For example, determining the whereabouts of certain people is the top priority. Unless necessary, Shoji is not willing to infiltrate the Hyuga clan's residence alone again. You can guess it with your toes. After experiencing the last Kumo ninja infiltration incident
, the Hyuga clan will definitely strengthen the security of their home base. Since they are not the kind of person who is particularly good at hiding and sneaking in, the probability of being discovered will definitely increase a lot.
"Well, you can take care of it yourself. Just leave the negotiations to me and Chitu. If you need anything, you can always tell me. Guitou and Shimo can also provide you with the necessary assistance.
, However, if you are forced to do so, General, I suggest you choose to give up at the right time, there is no need to take risks!"
Huang Tu nodded slightly and said.
Kitou and Shimono are also members of the Iwagakure Village mission this time. One of them is good at enchantment, and the other is a perceptive ninja. They are already outstanding beings in the Iwagakure Village.
.
The general was also very aware of this, and responded with a very serious expression: "Yes, I understand, don't worry, Huang Tusang, this is Konoha, I still have a sense of propriety, and I will never take risks!"
"Well, that's good. Let's have a good rest today. The negotiations will probably be postponed to tomorrow!"
As Huangtu said, although the arrival time of the two major ninja villages was only in the afternoon, there was enough time to start the first round of negotiations, but the Konoha side obviously did not have this intention, and most likely wanted to give all three parties
There was a period of mental preparation in advance. On the day when the delegations from Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages arrived, Mito Kadeni and Koharu Kagakure only served as representatives of the Hokage and received the delegations from Iwagakure and Kumogakure respectively.
, and also directly informed the leaders of the two embassy delegations, Huang Tu and Tutai, that formal talks would be held tomorrow and the day after tomorrow respectively.
It was obvious that the negotiations were going to be carried out separately. Todai and Huangtu were facing Mito Menitis respectively. When they went to sleep in Koharu, they all frowned slightly, but they didn't say much. They were new here, so they still had to take a look at the situation before talking.
, especially Huang Tu, as the leader of the Iwa Ninja delegation, from the previous point of view, there must be a bit of hostility towards Kumo Ninja.
He was fighting to the death, but Kumo Ninja was taking advantage of him. No matter what, he was blacklisted by his family. If he obeyed his subjective emotions, it would be in line with Iwa Ninja's wishes to talk separately, but the common goal of both parties was different.
They are both Konoha Hidden Villages. When it comes to national interests, it would be the best choice for the two villages to join forces to exert further pressure in the negotiations.
It's just that there are too many things to consider and worry about here. It's still the first day anyway, and you can adjust slowly later. There is no need to be too anxious. This is the view of the Iwa Ninja side, but it is obviously not the side of Kumogakure Village.
Yunyin Village's attitude can be said to be full of food, precisely because it was too easy to obtain the benefits before.
The Fourth Raikage, who had the mentality of looking forward to Shu, hoped to further obtain more benefits, so he directly dispatched Izudai, one of the most senior senior staff officers in Yunyin Village. It can be seen that the Fourth Raikage's
Ambition goes far beyond the present.
But after weighing the situation, it was still somewhat difficult for their family to forcefully attack Konoha, and they had to continue to win over Iwagakure Village.
Yes!
After Mito Monohan and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, had finished entertaining each other and returned from the Iwagakure and Kumogakure hotels, Todai, the leader of the Kumogakure delegation, also went to the hotel where Iwagakure was staying to pay a visit openly and honestly.
!
The moment you receive the message.
Huang Tu, General and the others were all slightly startled.
"It seems that Yun Ren's side still has an agenda!"
There was a hint of thoughtfulness in Huang Tu's pupils, and he said softly.
"And it's still a conspiracy. They want to borrow the power of our Yanyin Village. They are really a group of shameless and shameless people."
The general snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm clearly appearing on his face. Although it is true that interests prevail between countries, the five major ninja villages are all in intrigues, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure are even more so.
In a blood feud, it is common practice to trick someone, but it is rare for a Kumo ninja to be so thick-skinned.
"Then shall we meet or not?"
Chi Tu, who was sitting next to him, asked with some confusion.
Huang Tu and Jiang Si looked at each other and nodded gently.
"We still have to meet. The main target is Konoha after all. Even if we don't know what else Yumo Ninja plans to do, at least we need Yumo Ninja to put pressure on Konoha so that we can strive for the greatest benefits for ourselves.
!”
Emotion is one aspect, reason is another aspect.
No matter how you think or look in your heart, it will not affect Loess and Shoji in making the most correct judgment. However, you must be more vigilant this time, and you must not be fooled by Yun Ninja again.
Teach this thing a lesson, once is enough. If you do it again, it will appear that there is something wrong with your brain!
"Lotus-san, let me accompany you to meet this senior Tutai for a while. I am very interested in this wise man who has been the top advisor of Kumogakure Village since the time of the Third Raikage!"
Although in the original work, Dodai does not have many roles and is not considered to be that important a role at all, but that is because when Naruto is the main perspective, it is difficult to involve other people's descriptions.
After arriving in this world, after fully understanding the layout of the major countries in this world, I also gained a very deep understanding of some important figures, such as Ma Ji in Sunagakure Village and Yuanshi in Kirigakure Village.
This Tutai in Yunyin Village is also one of them.
This is a character that Kumogakure Village cannot avoid at present. Shoji has the highest ambitions for this ninja world. Therefore, none of these characters can be ignored. Today is a good time to get up close and personal with this character.
Naturally, General would not miss the opportunity to be the top advisor of Yunyin Village.
"Well, it would be nice to get to know him. This person also caused a lot of trouble for our Yanyin Village back then!"
Huang Tu was not surprised and nodded immediately.
Following from that.
The two of them walked straight towards the reception room of the hotel itself. By the time they arrived, Dodai was already sitting in the reception room in advance under the leadership of the Iwa ninja who was guarding the outside.
On the sofa on the left.
The moment he saw Loess, Shoji's figure appeared.
Tutai also stood up, his eyes swept over Huangtu and Jiangsi, and he obviously stayed on Jiangsi for an extra second or two.
Huang Tu and Jiang Si naturally immediately focused their attention on Tu Tai and another slightly shorter figure following Tu Tai.
Loess is nothing, after all, in his opinion, this must be someone like the guard of Tutai.
But when Shoji saw that figure, his eyes narrowed slightly. It was the same image of a famous person from Yunyin Village as in the original work, with dark skin, white hair, and bangs covering his left eye.
, but compared to the time when he appeared in the original work, his face now looks much more immature and youthful.
This figure is 100% the same as Darui who succeeded the Fifth Raikage in the original work!
This fifth-generation Raikage who grew up in Kumoyin Village is now about fourteen or fifteen years old, but the aura faintly exuding from his body is already amazing enough. When he appeared in the original work, he already had a proper appearance.
With Tokage level strength, he is now at least an elite jounin, or even a little stronger. After all, the blood successor limit possessed by this one - Lan Dun is also super destructive!
In other words, it would be difficult for Darui to suppress him in a short period of time without using the kaleidoscope.
This is also a character that I need to pay more attention to in the future.
But even though I was a little surprised in my heart, I saw the future Fifth Raikage in this situation in Konoha.
But on the surface, General still maintains a calm look.
Naturally, the other three people present did not notice Shoji's subtle psychological changes at that moment. Darui was even more unaware that they had just met and that he was being treated by the one opposite him who is now called the contemporary Uchi in the ninja world.
Hasura's Uchiha is targeting Tsukasa.
"I'm taking the liberty of visiting you, so please bear with me, Mr. Huang Tu. This person should be the now famous Uchiha Shoji in your village. It's our first time meeting you, so please give me some advice, Mr. Shoji!"
Unlike Todai, who always seemed serious and serious in his own ninja village, at this moment, in front of Shoji and Huangtu, the Raikage's top advisor seemed to be a gentle person who was harmless to humans and animals.
Normally, with a peaceful expression, he looked at the two people and greeted them with a smile.
"No, as a senior in the ninja world, Todai-san, we should be the ones to visit. It would be rude of us to let Todai-san come in person!"
Although they are enemies, this is not the first time that Loess and Tudai have met. Needless to say, on the battlefield, in Loess's twenty-year career as a ninja, he has dealt with Tudai several times, so naturally he will not be ignored by Tudai.
This appearance deceives me.
Although Shoji is face to face with Dodai for the first time, he will not relax in any way towards Dodai. Not to mention, he can become Raikage's most trusted top adviser in an environment like Cloud Hidden Village!
It is enough to explain many problems.
"Tutai-sang, you're so polite. I'm still just a junior in front of you. I should probably ask Tutai-san for more advice!"
Jiang Si was half a body behind Huang Tu, with a formulaic smile and a calm expression, he met Tu Tai's gaze and said calmly.
Shoji's mediocre performance also made the smile on the corner of Todai's mouth fade a little. After the top adviser of Yunyin Village took a deep look at Shoji, he also deepened his impression of Shoji deep in his heart.
.
'This is not a young man who only has strength!'
It even increased the fear of the general!
After a brief greeting.
Both parties also took their seats.
"Todai-san must have just arrived in Konoha today. From the looks of it, he probably didn't have a formal meeting or conversation with Konoha. He just came to visit our Iwa ninja directly. It must have a profound meaning, right?"
As soon as he sat down, the general looked directly at Tu Tai in the opposite position. This obviously left no room for anything. The words he said straight to the point made Tu Tai look slightly startled, but it only lasted for 0.5 seconds.
less time.
He has been in the ninja world for decades.
Tutai has seen all kinds of people.
I also reacted immediately at that moment, and I could guess some of the possible division of labor between Loess and Shoji, the chief and deputy leader of the Iwagakure Mission.
"Haha, it has a deep meaning, it must have a deep meaning, but it doesn't just depend on our Yun Ninjas, it also depends on your village's attitude. A slap can't make a difference. I think what our Yun Ninjas mean, you should
You can probably guess a little bit, Mr. Jiang Si, Mr. Huang Tu!"
Tutai crossed his hands and placed them in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and said with a meaningful smile.
When asking for help, you need to learn to take the initiative in the conversation.
In this way, unfavorable situations can be avoided to the greatest extent possible. This is a skill that anyone who often travels in diplomatic negotiation situations needs to master.
