Chapter 9: Use a duel to decide the ownership of the ninja sword!
As early as when Terumi Mei announced that she was going to visit Konoha, Naruto had already had an affair with Tsunade. She naturally knew what the so-called "property of Kirigakure Village" meant.
"I'm really sorry, Konoha has not hidden any property related to Kirigakure Village." Tsunade's answer was straightforward: "However, there are one or two weapons collected from Kirigakure rebel ninjas."
As soon as Terumi Mei heard this, she knew that Konoha would never give up the three ninja swords.
She had thought about this situation before coming here. She was not vague at the moment and tried to argue: "I came here precisely because I wanted to talk to you about these Kirigakure rebels."
"They committed the grave crime of defecting from the village, and many of them were villains who assassinated the Mizukage. I hope that Konoha can return these traitorous ninjas to us," Terumi Mei said.
Tsunade asked in return: "Return it? So, what can Konoha get?"
As soon as these words came out, Terumi Mei was silent for a long time.
"Konoha will gain our...friendship." After saying these words, even Terumi Mei felt a little hot-skinned.
Compared to Konoha, which has a big family and a big business, Kirigakure's family fortune is really hard to control. Otherwise, as the shadow of a village, why would she go to Konoha herself to ask for weapons?
Terumi Mei sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't expect that the new Hokage would not save any face and asked Konoha naked what he could get.
Naruto looked at Mei Terumi and sighed, she was really unlucky. If it were the Shodaime or the Sandaime Hokage sitting here, he might really hand over the three ninja swords just because of the word 'friendship'.
Of course, if the First Hokage is really here, then whether anyone dares to ask for it is another matter.
"So, this is completely impossible to talk about?" Terumi Mei's reaction was not very intense. But this is understandable.
In the final analysis, the ninja world still relies on strength. Terumi Mei does not have the ability to overwhelm an entire village by herself. She is in the heart of Konoha, such as the Hokage Building, and is not afraid of her messing up.
In fact, welcoming Terumi Mei's arrival is a way to show off his own strength.
The Country of Thunder, Yunyin Village.
"So, the woman from Kirigakure has arrived in Konoha?" In the Raikage's office, the fourth generation Raikage Ai was listening to the report from his secretary Mabui.
Compared with the shadows of other villages, the Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village is the most eye-catching.
He is tall and well-built, and he likes to wear a white cloak to show off his muscles. Just sitting, his height is the same as the standing Abuyi.
"Yes. In fact, not only Kirigakure's Mizukage, but Sunagakure's Kazekage also visited Konoha." Abuyi continued to report.
When Raikage Ai heard this, his eyes suddenly closed slightly and his voice deepened: "Really? You dare to let two shadow-level experts come, Konoha is really a big supporter."
The current ninja world is not so much a period of peace as it is a truce period before the next war breaks out. The relations between various countries cannot be said to be bad, but they are not much better either.
The Shadow of a Village, to be able to sit in this position, one must not only have qualifications and prestige, but also have strength!
Gaara, the fifth generation Kazekage, possesses the secret technique of controlling sand and Shukaku; Terumi Mei, the fifth generation Mizukage, possesses the two blood-stained limits of 'melting escape' and 'boiling escape'. It is this that transcends ordinary ninjas
With their strength, they will be elected as shadows.
But it is precisely because of the strength of all parties that everyone distrusts each other. In the past five-shadow talks, the meeting location was never placed within the five major countries. The fear was that one party would take over.
And Konoha actually dared to receive the shadows of two big countries at the same time, which can show Konoha's strength from the side.
Of course, what frightens Raikage Ai even more is what on earth will these three parties talk about when they come together? If Konoha, Sunagakure and Kirigakure unite, it will be a thunderbolt for Kumogakure Village!
"Go and talk to the old man in Yanyin Village." Ai said, "I believe this old man will not just sit back and watch the three-party alliance."
Konoha, Hokage's office.
"Konoha has always upheld the idea of peace and never provokes war easily. We are willing to negotiate. But we have to show sincerity from others." Naruto said.
Terumi Mei looked at Naruto. She was delicate and sensitive and immediately noticed that Naruto's words seemed to have a lot of weight.
She had an idea and said: "In that case, I have an idea. Let's have a test. The three of us Kirigakure will fight against the three of you from Konoha. The identity of each round will determine the ownership of a ninja sword.
how?"
"If Konoha wins, we Kirigakure will renounce the pursuit of those three ninja swords. From now on, they belong to Konoha and have nothing to do with Kirigakure anymore."
Terumi Mei's conditions are still very tempting. As soon as this condition was put forward, both Naruto and Tsunade agreed.
There was no other reason than that neither of them believed that Konoha would lose.
Of course, Terumi Mei did not raise any conditions. The first was that before the ownership of the Ninja Sword was determined, Konoha's side could not enter the field with the Ninja Sword. Moreover, former Kirigakure rebels were not allowed to join the battle.
Otherwise, if Naruto's side invites Samehada's sword or sends a rebellious ninja like Zabuza who is familiar with Kirigakure to fight, Terumi Mei and others' hope of winning will be much smaller.
The second rule is that Terumi Meditation should take the initiative to choose her opponents.
When she announced the name of her opponent, both Naruto and Tsunade were stunned.
Because Terumi Mei's opponent was none other than Naruto!
Tsunade shook her head. Terumi Mei thought she disagreed, but unexpectedly Tsunade said: "We are both the fifth generation, so you should try to compete with me."
"Naruto, that brat, even though he is young, is probably not as easy to deal with as you think."
Tsunade said this, Terumi Mei wanted to see Naruto's strength even more.
"Since you insist, then I will accept the challenge." Naruto nodded in agreement. Would he be afraid of fighting?
The location for the battle is also easy to choose, that is where the former Konoha Prison was. Since the [Impulse City] Prison was established, this place has been abandoned and bulldozed into a vacant lot.
"Perhaps we should build a dueling arena-like building here so that everyone in the village can have a place for competitions and trials." Naruto suddenly thought. He mentioned this idea to Tsunade, and she immediately got her approval.
.
"You're right." Tsunade also realized the benefits of this proposal. The strength of a ninja must be honed through battles. If such a duel field is set up and rewards are given to those who win the competition,
It will definitely attract many people to practice diligently and improve the overall quality of the next generation of ninjas.
You know, under the promotion of the New Deal, the ninja school has enrolled dozens of times the number of students in the past, and graduates three to four hundred genin every year.
With so many genin, there are not that many tasks for them to complete in a short period of time. They can just be arranged to the duel field and given a certain amount of subsidies so that everyone can continue to fight and enhance their strength.
Even if you get injured, don't be afraid. Not to mention Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage who is famous for his medical ninjutsu, and Naruto who has mastered the power of the Horse Talisman.
If the two of them join forces, as long as they don't die suddenly on the spot, or they are left gasping for air, they can still be saved!
