"Kazekage-sama!" As soon as they saw Ye Cang, the jonins of Sunagakure immediately came over and pushed me aside. "Kazekage-sama, you are back. You have been missing for almost a day! ANBU is looking for you everywhere.
Can’t even find it!”
"I'm sorry, I've made everyone worried, something unexpected happened." Ye Cang said apologetically.
"What happened? Lord Kazekage, how did you get hurt like this? Are there any enemies coming?" Kazekage's follower asked worriedly, "To be able to hurt Lord Kazekage like this, the enemy must be at least Kage level."
, is he a strong man from any village? Or a traitorous ninja."
"Yes, it's the traitorous ninja of our Sunagakure, the grandson of Granny Chiyo, the genius puppet master, the Scorpion of Red Sand." Ye Cang replied.
"What! The Scorpion of Red Sand? It's actually him!" The Jonin were shocked, "That was a famous figure in Sunagakure. Even the strongest Third Kazekage once praised him, but unfortunately he defected later.
The Kazekage also disappeared mysteriously. We thought you, Kazekage-sama, were missing like the Third Kazekage."
"I found the Third Kazekage." Ye Cang said every word, expressionless.
"What???!!!" The Jonin's expressions became even more astonished, and their mouths were so wide they could fit an egg in. "The Third Kazekage, who has been missing for fifteen years, is still alive? What about the others?"
"No, he died fifteen years ago. He was assassinated by the Red Sand Scorpion and then made into a puppet. I fought with that puppet and was seriously injured." Ye Cang explained, and then pointed.
Me, "Thanks to Konoha's messengers, Black Lightning, Hatake Kurone, for saving me, otherwise I might have died at the hands of the Red Sand Scorpion and become one of his puppets."
"Thank you Kazekage-sama. The leader of the alliance is in trouble. I should do my best to help." After listening to Ye Cang's words, I certainly knew that she was looking for a reason to remove me to prevent Sunagakure's people from making trouble.
, influencing the alliance's negotiations, after all, I have a big responsibility for this matter. Ye Cang gave me the steps, so I naturally used the slope to get off the donkey.
"Thank you so much, Lord Kurone. If it hadn't been for Lord Kurone, our Sunagakure would have suffered heavy losses. Other villages would have taken advantage of the situation. You saved our village." After listening to Ye Cang's words, the Jonin said,
They seemed very respectful to me and bowed to me collectively.
"You're welcome, we will soon be allies. This is as it should be." Due to diplomatic issues, I had to say these words shamelessly, "Master Kazekage was seriously injured. I only conducted preliminary treatment. You still have to deal with it."
Send Kazekage-sama to the medical center for treatment as soon as possible, so as not to cause any disease problems. There are also alliance negotiations, and they should be signed as soon as possible."
"Well, Master Heiyin is still thoughtful. Then Master Kazekage, we will send you to the medical class right now."
"Yes." Ye Cang gave me a meaningful look and followed his entourage away.
Three days later, Hayakura, who had almost recovered, took a group of senior officials from Sunagakure and negotiated with Nara Shikaku and others to sign an alliance treaty. Because I was not of sufficient rank, I was only responsible for the security of the venue. What are the specific contents of the alliance treaty?
, I don’t know, but I’m not interested either.
It wasn't until we returned home after the negotiation that Nara Shikaku told me about this matter mysteriously. Sunagakure was uncharacteristically agreeing to a lot of favorable conditions for Konoha, which made him feel very strange. I wasn't too surprised.
I guess Sunagakure probably did this to express his gratitude to me for saving their Kazekage.
The day after the negotiation ended, our envoy group finally left Sunagakure and returned to Konoha. Yagura brought Sunagakure's Jonin to see us off, and sent them several hundred meters outside the first line of the sky.
"Kazekage-sama, there is no need to send him so far. You are too polite and it really hurts us." Nara Shikaku felt a little embarrassed.
"Hatake Kurone, I won't give up just like that." Hayakura said, completely ignoring Nara Shikaku and staring straight at me.
This made Nara Shikaku scratch his head in embarrassment, and then stepped aside.
"What's the point of it, Miss Ye Cang, don't we..." I said helplessly.
"Okay, don't jump to conclusions yet. There is still a long way to go. It's time for you to go. Come to Sunagakure often when you have time. Anyway, your Flying Thunder God is also very convenient." Ye Cang said with a smile and waved.
He held the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.
"That's it, let's talk about it later. We will meet again in the mountains and rivers. Let's say goodbye."
After bidding farewell to Ye Cang, Konoha's envoys set off on the road, with the negotiation team in the middle and the guard troops spread out to protect the negotiation team.
"Black Sound." Nara Shikaku stopped me after I was far away from Sunagakure Village.
"What's wrong?" I slowed down and walked to him, "What's going on?"
"No, I'm just a little curious. Although it feels troublesome, I still want to ask clearly." Nara Shikaku asked with a funny face, "Is Kazekage interested in you? Look at her expression and words to you."
"Okay, don't think about whether these things are there or not." I was a little angry and didn't answer him, "Speed up and hurry up."
Seeing that I was angry, Nara Shikaku, who had a bad smile on his face, stopped smiling and said no more.
After returning to the village, we went to the Hokage's office to report the mission. The Third Hokage listened to Nara Shikaku and I's report on the mission details, especially the successful signing of the treaty. He was very happy and praised us a lot.
"Okay, everyone else can go back and rest, Hatake Kurone stays."
"yes."
After everyone left, the Third Hokage took out a portfolio, took out a few pieces of paper, and handed it to me.
"Hatake Kurone, after discussing with the staff, I have decided to let you work as a teacher in the Ninjutsu Department of the Ninja School. This is your transfer order." (To be continued)
