Chapter 310: Puppet Secret Technique? Of course it’s good!

"What the Sand Village did is no different from being defeated in the war. They just want to protect their reputation."

Jingyi yawned. It would be better to end this boring meeting as soon as possible.

"So coming here under the banner of peace talks must come at a certain price."

"I think the Sand Village is already mentally prepared for this."

"only........."

Having said this, Jingyi paused.

Before the others could remain silent, Utane Koharu asked impatiently:

"Just what?"

After looking at her, Jingyi retracted his gaze and said:

"But what can the Sand Village offer?"

Jingyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and began to give examples.

"Money, they don't have it. They are poorer than us."

“There are no supplies of any kind. The Wind Country doesn’t have much else but a lot of various minerals. But does the village lack these things?

Don't forget, the Sand Village still owes me a huge debt, enough to pay them off for a long time."

"Various secret techniques, is the Sand Village willing to hand them over?"

"You won't force the puppet secret technique on us, will you?"

"........."

As Jingyi cited more examples, everyone's faces became uglier, because Jingyi hit the nail on the head.

What can the Sand Village come up with to impress Konoha?

There is no money and no supplies. The only thing in abundance is various minerals. Speaking of this, I have to mention the debt I owe Jingyi.

It will last them a long time.

"Humph!!!"

Utatane Koharu cursed angrily:

"Is that bastard the Third Kazekage going to make fun of us?"

If you can't produce anything, what are you talking about?

“Maybe other conditions will be proposed.”

Nara Shikakoshi himself was numb. Logically, such peace talks would be beneficial to Konoha, because Konoha could raise its knife and cut the flesh of the Sand Village.

But after some analysis, it’s just a fart!

Unless you allow the Sand Village to owe debts and let them pay them back slowly, don't think about squeezing too much money out of the Sand Village.

Mitomon En expressed a different opinion.

"What we should worry about is that the Sand Village will choose to give up. Anyway, we have nothing and cannot afford to pay. If you are willing to take what we can give, then take it. If you are not willing, then forget it."

"........."

The Third Hokage's face darkened.

Because this possibility is very high.

If the Sand Village really goes to pieces, what can Konoha do?

Are you biting them hard?

This is so fucking disgusting.

"Haven't you always wanted the Sand Village to support Konoha in its stance? I think this is a good opportunity, and the Sand Village will probably seize this opportunity to negotiate."

Thinking of the fact that in the original time and space, the Sand Village was indeed Konoha's younger brother, Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, you, Hinata Shizuka, can still laugh?

Koharu Utane wanted to curse, but she turned around and looked at Jingyi, and chose to swallow the curse.

"Jingyi, now is not the time to joke."

Nara Shikaxin's mouth twitched and he reminded Jingyi to pay attention to the occasion and not make jokes casually.

Because this joke...uh, seems a little funny.

Damn it, why does this old man want to laugh too?

I must have been infected by Jingyi. I was not like this before. I must have been influenced by him.

Nara Shikashin quickly lowered his head to prevent others from seeing the change in his expression.

"So, the best offer that the Sand Village can offer is to rely on Konoha economically and militarily?"

This was the ending that the Third Hokage had always been looking forward to, but if the Sand Village proposed it at this time, it would make him very uncomfortable.

If they accept it, it means that the village has worked in vain in this war and has dug a lot of holes for itself.

If you don't accept it, the Sand Village will just give up. Do whatever you want. Anyway, we, the Sand Village, can't produce anything. You can do whatever you want. If you have the guts, just destroy us.

You should see if the other villages agree first.

By then, Konoha's situation will be even worse. It will be impossible to destroy the Sand Village, so let's collect the debt. Who knows when the Sand Village will be able to pay it back.

"Do the experience gained from puppet secrets and puppet making count?"

Apart from being a younger brother, this is the greatest sincerity that the Sand Village can show. If it were in the past, the Sand Village would never hand over these things.

However, having suffered a dimensionality reduction attack, they no longer regard puppets as the foundation of the village.

In front of Jingyi's puppet, the puppetry of the Sand Village is just a common thing.

Rather than holding on to it, it is better to use it as a bargaining chip.

Puppet secret technique?

Several people couldn't help but look at Jingyi, and the Third Hokage asked first:

"Jingyi, is the puppetry technique of the Sand Village worth learning?"

Jingyi is one of the few ninjas in the village who plays with puppets, and he is good at dimensionality reduction attacks. It is best to ask him to verify this issue.

"Of course it's worth it."

Jingyi answered this question without any stance: "Although they are all puppets, the puppets of the Sand Village and my puppets are not of the same type. Only I can use my puppets, but the puppets of the Sand Village are different."

"Puppet ninjas have their own advantages. If they didn't have any advantages, the Sand Village wouldn't be holding them back so tightly."

"For the ninjas of each family, learning puppetry and making puppets is not worth the effort, but don't forget that in Konoha, the largest group of ninjas are civilian ninjas."

"For these civilian ninjas who have low incomes, have difficulty learning ninjutsu, and have no secret techniques, being able to use puppets can be considered a reinforcement of their strength."

"It is difficult for many civilian ninjas to improve their strength, not because they don't have talent, but because they don't have the opportunity to learn more ninjutsu, let alone secret and forbidden techniques."

Secret techniques are basically the foundation of a ninja family's survival. It is impossible to hand them over casually, let alone let civilian ninjas learn them.

Forbidden techniques are even more ridiculous. According to the qualifications to learn forbidden techniques, a civilian ninja would have to complete countless missions and make countless contributions before he would have a chance to see a scroll of forbidden techniques.

"So I suggest that when the Sand Village's envoy arrives, the village should focus on puppetry during the negotiations. Other conditions can be waived, but puppetry must be acquired. This will remind a large number of civilian ninjas of their strength."

Having said this, Jingyi did not speak again.

In Jingyi's opinion, the only valuable condition that Sand Village could offer was puppetry. As for being a younger brother, that was nonsense.

The Third Kazekage is in power now. Once he is gone, any treaty signed will be worthless.

As long as the Sand Village has no shame, they can replace the Kazekage in advance. If the Fourth Kazekage does not recognize the signed treaties at that time, what can you do?

The ball returned to the feet of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage suddenly frowned, and his two white eyebrows began to press tightly together.
