Chapter 2440 Negotiation

"Is that so...is it so...you guys saved Qianye, and then, Qianye saved you again."

After listening to the narration of the young man in front of him, Sandai Hokage nodded and said, but the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy.

It doesn't look like the shadow of the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, who has experienced three ninja world wars, and has absolute authority.

And like an elder who has heard very gratifying words, in his words and demeanor, he is no longer the leader of an ally village to Haneda Yuzawa, but a close junior.

"yes."

As for the reaction of the third Hokage, Haneda Yuzawa was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and said.

I really don't care at all about Chiba teaching ninjutsu to other ninjutsu privately!

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

To be honest, looking at the current appearance of the three generations of Hokage, Haneda Yuzawa can hardly think of this old man as the supreme leader of Konoha.

However, he knew that the posture of the third Hokage was not because of him, but because of the part about Chiba in what he said.

It was because he heard that Qianye was about to die, got medical treatment, and was lucky to survive, that's why he showed this appearance.

The old man was genuinely happy because of Chiba's survival, and even Ai Wu Ji Wu had a lot of affection for him.

Even, this is already a thing of the past.

Even though Qianye is still alive now, the old man still expressed worry and joy when he heard about Qianye's injured part and rescued part. It can be said that when he narrated, Qianye's situation was still the same. It is affecting his emotions.

The concern for Chiba is evident.

Moreover, he didn't care at all about Chiba's private teaching of ninjutsu. Although I know that Chiba is the one who shook the ninja world and became a symbol of an era, Konoha's little monster is also Konoha's patron saint. It is inevitable to be loved and cared for, but even this old man who is Hokage cares and loves so much. But it was a bit beyond his imagination.

However, on the other hand, although it was a bit beyond imagination, on the other hand, Haneda Yuzawa took it for granted.

After all, it was Chiba!

That person who looks gloomy but has a hotter heart than anyone else deserves this care and love.

But there has never been such a ninja who will do his best to help a group of war orphans who are destined to starve to death.

Not only did it save them from a temporary crisis, but it also broke the established rules of the ninja world and taught them the fundamentals of life.

And not only taught them ninjutsu, but also taught them tactical strategies. If ninja power is a weapon, this tactical strategy is the means to maximize the use and exert the power of this weapon.

It can be said that it is the end.

If it was just to teach them ninjutsu, I am afraid, not to mention the real power of Caoyin Village, they would have been wiped out as cannon fodder in the internal struggle of Caoyin Village.

Although Xiaoren Village is small, its internal complexity is not much worse than that of Daren Village.

Even, sometimes, because of its small size, personal power will account for a considerable proportion of the village's power, and the importance of individuals is much more than that of Da Ren Village. Because of the large population base and many outstanding ninjas in Da Ren Village, personal power is It seems much smaller, and it is not easy for the concentration of personal power to occur. This is destined to have a set of regulations or customary rules in Da Ninja Village. Everyone, including Hokage, will only follow the rules because of the relatively small proportion of personal power. , there is less phenomenon of power concentration and vicious struggle.

However, because of the great weight of personal power in Xiaoren Village, it is easy to rely on personal strength to hold heavy power. Even the leader is courteous because of relying on personal strength, which also makes the struggle within Xiaoren Village even more serious. intense and cruel.

There are even many cases where one becomes a leader today and becomes a dry bone tomorrow.

From entering Caoyin Village to now, they have experienced many political struggles, and they have also seen the darkness, cruelty, and even filth under power.

If there is no basic thinking about tactics and strategy left by Chiba, especially in the area of ​​defense, Chiba can be said to have led them to a rather high position in observing people and things. Without these, they would have been gnawed to the bone.

Even, it may be sold to others, and they happily give money to people!

And Qianye like this doesn't deserve so much love and care, who deserves it?

"Thank you for saving Chiba."

But at this moment, Sandai Hokage suddenly lowered his head slightly, and spoke earnestly, but what came out was a word of thanks.

Thank you Haneda Yuzawa, no, it should be said that the Haneda clan saved Chiba.

Yeah……

At that time, did Qianye already think that we will need a small ninja village in the future to change the structure of the ninja world, so did he plant such a seed?

It's a coincidence...

Or have you really thought this far?

Since then, Chiba has already seen that, with the current ninja world structure, will Konoha never be able to obtain real peace?

That's why he taught ninjutsu together, and cultivated a group of forces that are absolutely pro-Konoha outside of Konoha?

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

To be honest, if Chiba was ready to change the structure of the Ninja world at that time, and had already started to plan the layout, the third Hokage would have no doubts.

After all, Chiba's sometimes behavior is really very forward-looking. At that time, thinking of the problem of the ninja world structure, thinking of Konoha's situation, and at that time it was already in the middle of the war. When thinking about the war, Chiba was keenly aware that it was impossible to go on like this, and it was not abnormal to break the ninja world.

In other words, it would be abnormal for Chiba not to think about these things.

The child Chiba possessed a complete view of the overall situation and meticulous strategic thinking when he was very young. When the third Ninja World War just broke out and entered the first confrontation period, this child's suggestion was to It reflected this point, and even the first confrontation period was facilitated by Chiba.

In other words, it was arranged by Chiba.

It is normal to think of this change in the ninja world and start planting the seeds.

As for the private teaching of ninjutsu, in fact, Haneda Yuzawa is a bit biased. The third Hokage does not mean that he does not care about teaching ninjutsu privately because of his love and concern for Chiba. , is a big taboo in any Ninja Village, whether it is a Big Ninja Village or a Little Ninja Village.

It's just that the result of Chiba's private teaching of ninjutsu is in front of his eyes, and he directly brings a reliable ally to Konoha, and it is the kind with a long history, and has a certain sense of gratitude and affection for Konoha Allies, this kind of behavior of teaching ninjutsu privately, the third Hokage will not stop it, but will support it.

It's just that, teaching ninjutsu privately, the chances of bringing back such a reliable ally with the potential to become a solid ally are pitiful. I'm afraid it's just a forward-looking figure like Qianye who is good at plotting and planning. Only then can it be done.

Secondly, Chiba is already an S-rank ninja in the village, and has full task autonomy. To a certain extent, according to the situation at the time, he can do things that are not allowed by the village and require Hokage's permission.

For example, teaching ninjutsu privately.

That is to say, as an S-rank ninja, Chiba can use his own judgment to do some things that originally required Hokage's permission. If Ye applied and explained the whole story and reason, then the Three Hokages at that time would not disagree, and would even do their best to help Chiba realize his plan.

As for whether Chiba cut first and played later before he became an S-level ninja or after he became an S-level ninja, these side details, Chiba's contribution to Konoha, and the future talents of Hokage, the three generations of Hokage will not care about it.

Even if this matter is discussed openly, even if Danzo, who has always been at odds with Chiba politically and has many fights in private, may not be able to say anything.

Chiba, in Konoha, is already an existence that can break a few rules and regulations. Besides, in the world of ninjas, there are so many rigid and unbreakable rules in the world of ninjas.

The third Hokage didn't care about teaching ninjutsu privately, not because of love and concern, but because Chiba is fully qualified to do so.

"No, please don't say that, Your Excellency the Third Hokage, if it wasn't for Chiba, I'm afraid we would have died too."

For the thank you from the Third Hokage, Haneda Yuzawa also bowed his head, showing a gesture of humility and gratitude.

"Then, let's not be polite."

Seeing Haneda Yuzawa's humble and grateful appearance, Sandai Hokage was no longer polite, raised his head, and said: "Since the Haneda clan and Konoha have such a deep relationship... No, speaking of it, if Chiba was not If the situation forces us to bring you back to the village, we may have become family members of the same village, so we don’t have to be so polite when we speak.”

"yes!"

Hearing this sentence, Haneda Yuzawa was slightly taken aback again, and then a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Konoha Village's tolerance for refugees is really the same as the rumors. It seems that it is not the first time to take in children from other Ninja Villages or war orphans.

Moreover, when it comes to taking care of such a natural and ordinary thing, the Third Hokage probably has to take in many children like us.

Perhaps, only such a village can raise ninjas like Chiba.

At the same time, such a thought appeared in his mind.

For Haneda Yuzawa, since he has already sat in the position of the leader of a village, the dark side of the ninja world must be touched, even the touch is not shallow, and even in a sense, he must participate. inevitable.

Therefore, he also has some understanding of Konoha's dark side, and the reputation of Konoha's dark side in the dark world is not as small as Konoha's reputation on the bright side.

However, this does not prevent Haneda Yuzawa from improving his evaluation of Sandai Hokage and Konoha Village. At least, compared to other Dainin Villages, Konoha is the most reputable, sunny and humane village after all.

This is something no one can deny.

As for the cruelty and ugliness of the dark side, which village doesn't have it?

Taking a step back, at least Konoha is sunny and human on the bright side. At least the people in the village and the young ninjas grew up happily in a sunny and friendly environment. They are all cruel, cold and ugly, and even the ninjas in this village cannot feel the warmth.

"Well... at present, do you need to supplement the aid to Konoha? In terms of finances, do you need more resources? Or, add another trade route? I heard that the grass beef raised in Caoyin Village is of very high quality. Delicious, Konoha’s barbecue restaurants are all meat that is cherished. It was closed to the country some time ago, but it has spoiled many gluttons. Can you increase the import volume? We can open some ninja tools to Caoyin Village.”

And at this time, after agreeing not to be formal, Sandai Hokage took a breath of cigarettes, leaned slightly on the stone backrest behind him, and said.

In the rhetoric, there is a tendency to increase cooperation.

Then, everything makes sense. During this period of time, Chiba should have been with the Haneda clan for quite a while. The closure of the country of grass and the replacement of the leader of grass hidden village are probably all written by him.

While speaking, such a thought flashed through Sandai Hokage's heart.

After a long time, I suddenly understood.

"Of course. In terms of finances, we don't need more resources. It's already troublesome for Konoha. With the strength of our Caoyin Village, the trade route and the agreement in the covenant may be enough for us to be busy for a long time. As for Cao Niu , The breeding has been restarted now, about a month later, there will be a batch of high-quality beef cattle mature, if Konoha needs them, please take them all. The quota of ninja tools is open, so we in Caoyin Village must eat them all. "

In this regard, Haneda Yuzawa, who is no longer polite, replied simply and straightforwardly. Words are also candid.

It's just that in the tone, there is still the most basic courtesy and humility.

"Hahaha! Good! We will eat all the beef cattle. In exchange, we will release about a hundred standard ninja tools and add three thousand taels,"

Regarding Haneda Yuzawa's magnanimous attitude, Sandai Hokage was obviously very happy, and after laughing heartily, he said so.

"That's a deal!"

Regarding this, Haneda Yuzawa responded with a smile as if he was afraid that the Third Hokage would regret it.

"There are other business aspects..."

Afterwards, after the negotiation was over, the Three Hokages directly started various business negotiations.

And now that he was open and honest, Haneda Yuzawa also responded frankly, and discussed with the third Hokage one by one.

Afterwards, talking until late at night, Haneda Yuzawa got up to say goodbye, and left the Hokage office on the secret path of the three generations of Hokage.

Throughout the process, we talked happily.
