Chapter 148 Negotiation, Agreeing to Send Troops

Inside the palace of the Fire Country Daimyo, the Daimyo held a fan in his hand and fanned himself gently. It was quite hot in the Fire Country in the dog days of summer. Even though there were basins of ice all around him, he was still sweating.

Just when the daimyo was getting a little annoyed, one of his men ran up and said:

"Sir, the Third Hokage of Konoha is here."

"Ah."

The daimyo nodded, then stopped waving the fan and sat upright, but the fan was still in his hand, covering half of his face.

Soon, a man wearing a bamboo hat walked in with a ninja.

"Lord Daimyo."

The person who came was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. After greeting the Daimyo, he sat down on a chair nearby as a matter of course.

Obviously, although the daimyo controls some of the village's economy, this is not a time of war, and the daimyo's mansion does not provide much help to Konoha.

The daimyo naturally understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so confident. Although he felt a little unhappy inside, he still suppressed it well.

"My Lord Daimyo, I wonder if you have to ask me to come here this time. Is there something important?"

As the Kage of a village, he had too many things to do in a day. If the Daimyo had not insisted that he come in person, he might have sent a high-ranking Konoha official to deal with it.

"During this period, there have been rumors in the ninja world that the Uchiha clan, the largest family in Konoha, has defected from Konoha. Is this true?"

After these words were spoken, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been fearless, suddenly felt a headache. He had originally thought about whether he could keep the Uchiha's defection secret, but unfortunately there were too many onlookers at the time, and he didn't know how many spies from other countries were among them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really had no way to hide this news. What he didn't expect was that this matter would reach the daimyo so quickly.

"It's true."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only nod helplessly:

"But rest assured Daimyo, Konoha will find the Uchiha sooner or later and bring him to justice."

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had regained respect for him, the daimyo smiled cheerfully:

"There's no need to make too much trouble. I have a good opportunity here. Not only can I capture the Uchiha clan, but I can also capture the Uchiha who defected from the village earlier."

"good chance?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the confident daimyo and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. In his eyes, these nobles, the rulers of the Land of Fire, were people who only knew how to exploit the poor. Why would they get involved in ninja affairs?

"Why, you don't believe me?"

The daimyo fanned himself in dissatisfaction:

"Except for our Fire Nation, the other five nations have already sent their most elite troops to our Fire Nation."

"They are going to pass through our Fire Country to attack the Tea Country, where the traitor Uchiha is."

"So, I think we should send someone over there as well. After all, the Uchiha people were originally from Konoha, so they should naturally solve their own problems themselves."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. She looked at the Fire Country Daimyo in a strange way and said in a strange tone:

"So, the Tea Country has offended the Daimyo of the five major countries at the same time?"

The daimyo did not answer, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with burning eyes. He did not believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not know about this matter.

Under the Daimyo's "passionate" gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen shifted his position uncomfortably:

"Konoha will have a party house, the Daimyo can rest assured."

"That would be best."

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's affirmation, the daimyo also showed a satisfied smile:

"The ninja armies of other countries will gather in the Land of Fire at that time. Moreover, the food and fodder will be provided by our Land of Fire, and the expenses will be borne by the daimyo of other countries."

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to think about the description of the Fire Country Daimyo. He wondered if he could extract enough benefits from the military expenditure, after all, he was gathering troops on his home ground.

As if he had sensed Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, the Fire Country Daimyo slowly spoke:

"When the time comes, each of the five major countries will send a representative to distribute the military funds to the army."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose thoughts were seen through, had no expression on his face, and the Daimyo hurried on and continued:

"But don't worry, I will give Konoha some extra military funds for the development of Konoha this time."

Konoha is the strongest of the five major ninja villages. This is a common occurrence in the entire ninja world. Therefore, if Konoha is not involved in the siege of the Tea Country this time, the daimyos will feel unstable.

After all, the enemy is the Uchiha clan who left Konoha.

After getting Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise to fight, the daimyo felt much more at ease. He then took out many treasures from his own treasury and gave them to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and told him that after the ninjas from the other four villages arrived, they would take the initiative to declare war on the Tea Kingdom.

These daimyos had finally united together, so naturally they didn't want to launch any sneak attacks. In their opinion, they wanted to defeat the Tea Kingdom head-on and let the world know that ordinary people could only live a better life under the protection of the nobles.

. . . . . .

The people of the Tea Kingdom are still unaware of what happened in the Fire Kingdom. They are now happy about having their own summoning beast, especially a giant whale.

Moreover, as long as you are strong enough, you will have the opportunity to practice immortal arts.

There is already a group of people from the Tea Kingdom who have gone to the Sea in the Sea, but their number is not too large.

After all, there are only a few people in the entire Tea Kingdom who can reach the bottom of the sea in their physical bodies.

Even for Hatake Sakumo, it was very difficult to move on the seabed. After all, he was only an expert in swordsmanship and had not done much training on his own body.

On the contrary, although Adai has a very poor talent in chakra cultivation, his body is extremely strong.

Moreover, natural energy is something that all living things on this planet can cultivate, so when A'dai practiced in the sea, he actually achieved twice the result with half the effort.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much chakra, otherwise the ninjutsu released by combining chakra with natural energy would be a real killer in team battles.

On this day, after practicing Sage Mode, Lu Lin received a letter from the Rain Country, which was sent by Hanzo.

[Several ninja teams from major countries passed through the Rain Country and entered the Fire Country.

What's puzzling is that I haven't received any information about the battle in the Fire Nation. Do you have any news from your side? 】

Looking at the letter from Hanzo, Lu Lin was silent.

In the ninja world, between two superpowers, even if one superpower sends its ninja team to the neutral zone between the two countries, the other country will send its own team to guard it strictly.

But now we have already entered the Fire Nation, and there is no news of the battle. . .

He felt something was wrong here.
