Chapter 396 Tang Ping's negotiation skills!

Two delegations!

The Kumo Ninja delegation came openly.

The Fire Nation delegation came quietly.

The reason for this is that the Kumo Ninja has a slight advantage in the local conflict, so they are willing to make as much noise as possible this time.

It would be best to let everyone in the ninja world know that even Konoha, the leader of the five major ninja villages, has to bow down to the Kumo Village.

The daimyo wanted to reach an agreement quietly, so the lower the better.

He even used the Kumo Ninja delegation to cover his arrival.

The negotiation site was not even in the Hokage Building.

A remote chamber of commerce room was the negotiation site this time, and the time was also an hour after arriving in Konoha, which shows how urgent it was.

It was not that the Fire Nation was unwilling to talk before, but because the castle tower had been dragging it out.

With prisoners and Chihimaru... in hand, they are the party that holds the initiative, so there is no need to rush.

Now that they finally got the accurate information and knew that the castle tower was willing to talk, the Land of Fire was naturally extremely anxious.

There were not many people participating in the meeting, and the total number did not exceed two digits.

There were three forces.

Castle tower: Dohei, Guren

Konoha: Utahara Koharu, Mitomon En

Land of Fire: Foreign Minister, Sarutobi Asuma

Well, there were only so many negotiators.

Hyuga Sogetsu did not come.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a nobody and a follower, so it was normal not to bring the other party at this critical moment, but to bring Guren, a leader of the new generation.

This was also a cover-up.

After all, although Hyuga Sogetsu was immune to most of the effects of the caged bird, it had not been completely resolved, so it was like this.

As long as the caged bird was not removed one day, she would continue to act.

At the negotiation site, someone was extremely embarrassed.

Sarutobi Asuma!

Not only was the other party born in Konoha, but he was also a "second generation of shadow", but he joined the Guardian Ninja, an organization directly under the daimyo.

Even the three ninjas wouldn't dare to play like this.

It's simply treason!

But they can use the "Hokage dispatch" mission to explain it.

In other words, the other party's joining the Guardian Ninja was the Hokage's order, which was not considered a betrayal of the village, but a kind of merit.

The village knows how to play!

Anyway, those who know whether Asuma is going to carry out the mission know it, and those who don't know don't need to explain it.

The famous double standard refers to Konoha F4.

"The Konoha traitor really has the nerve to come back, I don't know if the Anbu is blind!"

Sitting on a chair at one end of the long table, just short of putting his feet on the table, Dohei looked at the two "Konoha representatives" sitting in the middle when he spoke.

They are the neutral party this time, and also witnesses, so they naturally have to be present.

Feeling Dohei's gaze, Uta-ne Koharu and Mito Kado En's faces were a little ugly.

Because they were all aware of Sarutobi Asuma joining the Guardian Ninja, they naturally understood that the so-called "Hokage mission" was added later, or even by them.

If we really want to investigate, the other party can indeed be called a "traitor of Konoha", and the Anbu should capture or even kill the other party as soon as he enters the village.

Because among the duties of the Anbu, hunting down traitors is at the forefront.

The full name of the Anbu is "Tactical Assassination Unit", and assassinating traitors is the main job, and everything else is considered a side job.

"Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the negotiations!"

Koharu Utane changed the subject.

Of course, she couldn't really let the Anbu arrest Asuma, so she just pretended not to hear the ridicule.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Dohei stopped arguing.

There was no way, seeing Asuma reminded me of how these Konoha high-level officials were double-standard, and they used the will of fire to brainwash people every day.

Pah!

They really didn't even care about their face.

"Uchiha Dohei, do you admit your guilt in the castle tower?"

The minister of the Land of Fire, who was dressed gorgeously and cumbersomely and had a body like a white pig, started to ask for guilt right from the beginning.

"???"

Dohei was full of doubts, and at the same time, he wondered if the other party's actions were familiar.

This is the favorite trick of a certain disabled person, right? .

If he hadn't seen that the other party's eyes, hands, and legs were normal, he might have suspected that the other party was disguised.

Facing Dohei's 'confused' expression, the Minister of the Land of Fire thought that his preemptive strategy had worked, so he increased his efforts.

"You actually attacked the daimyo's ninja army. Are you preparing to rebel? Aren't you afraid of Konoha or the daimyo of other countries?"

The more the envoy spoke, the more powerful he became.

Well, Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En were like puppets.

Even if a deal was reached with Dohei, at most he would not stop the conditions he would propose later. If they wanted to ask for help... they had to pay more.

"Honglian?", Tang Ping asked the girl beside him: "Am I under an illusion? The castle tower was defeated by the coalition forces in the previous battle. Are we here to seek peace now?"

Honglian naturally understood the hint of Tang Ping's words, so she answered seriously:

"No, we won the battle with the castle tower, and captured hundreds of ninjas and monks, and even captured the enemy ninja army commander Qian Ximaru!"

She told the result of the battle, which was completely a slap in the face of the minister on the spot.

"I see, I thought we were the losers, otherwise how dare this guy talk like that?"

Tang Ping sighed with "sudden enlightenment".

Yes, you represent the losers, who are you pretending to be a winner now? .

Do you really think you are Konoha and will give in to you everywhere?

"You..."

Faced with Dohei's ridicule, the originally smug face of the Fire Country Foreign Minister instantly turned extremely ugly.

Yes, no matter what, the Ninja Army was the loser.

If there were no captives and Chikimaru, they could still deceive themselves and promote themselves as the great victors.

But even the chief general of the Ninja Army was captured, so people couldn't deceive themselves at all.

"What do you mean by you? This negotiation is because you need me. If you can't even figure this out, then the negotiation can be ended directly!"

Dohei's tone was casual, as if he didn't take the other party to heart at all.

And this is also the fact!

Although he did want to get the territories that had been circled through this opportunity of negotiation, which was called mediation.

But if the talks failed, he didn't mind continuing to fight.

Anyway, as long as he didn't show any "ambition" to overthrow the aristocracy now, the other major countries would never really help, and even hoped that they would fight as fiercely as possible.

If it was just the Fire Country, he would not be afraid even if Konoha was included.

Don't think that the castle tower seems to have exposed a lot of strength after defeating the ninja army this time.

But in fact, they still have a super trump card that can instantly turn their shortcomings into advantages.

Question, what is the weakness of the castle tower? .

There is no shortage of top strongmen, let alone logistics, and it seems that there is nothing to lack.

Answer: People!

To be precise, it is ninjas.

No matter how strong the castle tower is in combat, the number of ninjas is just that small, just breaking a thousand, which is the biggest shortcoming.

There are not enough low-level ninjas, so they can't deploy on a large scale on the battlefield, and they can't fight a war of attrition... and so on.

This shortcoming is known to Do Ping, and it is also deliberately exposed.

It is to directly kill the opponent in one wave when facing the five major ninja villages in the future.

Do Ping has never forgotten that the strongest enemy of the castle tower is always the five major ninja villages, not the aristocracy, so he will hide this killer move first, and only use it when facing absolutely strong things, the daimyo ninja army... is not worthy.

"Uchiha Dohei, don't go too far!"

The foreign minister threatened with a timid look.

"I can go even further!"

Dohei stood up and made a gesture as if he was ready to leave.

He was not proficient in negotiation skills, but he knew one thing: if he couldn't get what he wanted at the negotiation table, he would get it on the battlefield, so he was confident and not afraid of a breakdown in the negotiations.

"Sit down first, the negotiations have just begun, what do you want to do?"

Mitomon Yan spoke.

Today his task is to play the good cop.

"Okay!"

Dohei sat down again.

Just now he was just pretending, and he was not going to leave without talking.

If he really didn't want to talk, he wouldn't have agreed to this mediation.

But after his move, the ministers of the Fire Country restrained themselves a lot and finally reached an agreement.

There was no way, the daimyo naturally didn't want to see them expand.

But the castle tower had too many chips in its hands.

And Konoha didn't stand on their side, so this negotiation was extremely smooth.

The castle tower released all the captives in exchange for the right to "purchase" the nearby wilderness area.
