Vol 8 Chapter 918: Fighting openly and secretly!

Chapter 918: Overt and covert fighting!

"The logistics and salaries of the coalition forces will be borne by the daimyo of each country!"

Mifune delivered a 'good news'.

However, everyone has actually reached a tacit agreement on this news, but now it is officially announced by Mifune.

There is no way. The assassinations against daimyo and nobles are too rampant now. If the Five Shadows don't take action quickly, the casualties will only become more exaggerated.

In comparison, taking out some property and resources is nothing at all.

Just yesterday, another incident occurred between several nobles and a daimyo from a small country. This made the daimyo and the nobles feel like thorns in their backs. How could they sit still.

As long as the five major ninja villages take action immediately, they can prepare both materials and money immediately.

Therefore, Mifune was under considerable pressure to speak at this time.

Otherwise, how could he speak randomly when he originally made up his mind not to talk nonsense.

"Since someone has provided the logistics, let's discuss it and send manpower from all the major ninja villages, right?"

With a wave of his hand, Ai skipped the 'consent-seeking' stage and went directly to the actual operation stage.

When it comes to dealing with Akatsuki, both Kumogakure, Konoha and Iwagakure have made up their minds, and the differences now are just differences in the level of contribution and the fight for command.

"We have recently had a conflict with the Lieyang Kingdom, so we will no longer participate in the coalition!"

Ye Cang suddenly spoke.

Of course, she didn't really want to break up the alliance against Xiao, she just wanted to take advantage of it.

At the very least, we can't let Sunagakure Village be 'represented' by the Raikage without even negotiating conditions, right? ,

"Kazekage, Akatsuki is one of the five major enemies of our ninja village. Today he dares to hunt tailed beasts, and tomorrow he dares to attack the village. I don't even dare to think about what he dares to do the day after tomorrow. You don't think that the Suna ninja can stay out of it by then, do you?"

Ai persuaded Ye Cang in a serious tone.

And his clear words also made people understand that he is indeed not the kind of character who can only be reckless.

The reason for constant confrontation with Jiraiya is because of conflicting interests between the two parties.

But when facing Ye Cang, Feng Ying, who has no conflict of interest, the rhythm of "convincing people with reason" is straightforward.

However, Raikage's words made Tang Ping next to him look a little weird.

Why does the tone of his voice sound so similar to his? .

These are all my words!

It can only be said that his influence on the ninja world is getting bigger and bigger.

"That's a good point, but we only have one Shukaku in Sunagakure Village. Even if we lose it, it's not unbearable. If we can keep everyone without tailed beasts, I think that's not bad!"

Ye Cang spoke from another angle.

There is only one tailed beast in Sunagakure Village, which has always been the least among the five great ninja villages. This also caused them to suffer a lot on the battlefield.

For example, during the battle with Iwagakure Village, there were two tailed beasts, but I only had one. It was really a disadvantage, so everyone had no tailed beasts, so they were back on the same starting line. It was really a problem for Sandgakure Village. Good news.

And there is something Ye Cang didn't say, but everyone knows it.

Sand Hidden Village is too barren!

Even though there is the Dawn Canal now, it is still at a big disadvantage compared to other ninja villages, so I really want everyone to mess with it.

No desire, no need!

This is what gives Ye Cang confidence.

If Sunagakure Village were to be a prosperous village like Kumogakure Village or Konoha, they would definitely be extremely anxious.

However, Ye Cang's words were actually half truth and half lies.

Because today's Sunagakure Village may not be as good as Kumogakure Village, but it is certainly no worse than Iwagakure Village, and may even be more prosperous. It is absolutely unwilling to start over.

It's just that Ye Cang knew that Xiao wouldn't cause trouble, so he dared to play like this, and he wasn't afraid of getting away with it at all.

"Stop joking Feng Ying, just ask for any conditions you want!"

Jiraiya spoke before Ai could.

Fight for the right to speak!

Ai couldn't be allowed to keep talking, otherwise it would feel like the other party was the talker of the Five Ninja Villages.

At this time, the only ones that can compete for the strongest ninja village are Konoha and Kumogakure. Therefore, once Jiraiya is suppressed, he may be looked down upon by the other major ninja villages, which will be detrimental to Konoha.

As for why he said this?

Naturally, it is clear that the other party's willingness to participate in this Five Shadows Conference has actually shown that it is determined to solve the organization, but the conditions have not reached the goal.

"The Fire Country and the Rock Country have too high tariffs on us, and at the same time the restrictions on the movement of people are too strict. If it can be solved, the Sand Ninja will definitely take revenge on Akatsuki!"

Ye Cang stated the conditions in a leisurely tone.

Tariffs, immigration!

As long as these two points can be solved, she naturally doesn't mind joining the coalition. Let’s not talk about the role of taxation. In the past, the Kingdom of Wind was extremely barren, with not many goods for sale, so the tax rate was not significant.

But now with rapid development, the export volume of goods such as black oil, guano, minerals... is increasing day by day, and high tariffs are too fatal.

If it were the former Sunagakure Village, no matter how high your tariff was, it would have nothing to do with the village. How many goods could be sold in a village?

But now it turns out that the village is the country of wind, and the country of wind is the village. The two can be regarded as one, and the high tax rate is to cut off their flesh. No wonder Ye Cang would bring it up.

As for immigration? .

The work of absorbing refugees has been done since Ye Cang took office. However, the two countries do not allow refugees to enter the Country of Wind. The scale of illegal immigration will naturally not be large, so it must be solved.

That’s right!

The latter condition is the real goal.

Now that Lieyang Country is frantically absorbing refugees, Ye Cang naturally understands the importance of this task, which is more important than any interests, so the first condition is just a cover, and the real condition is the second.

As long as immigration is open, she will do her best to attract immigrants.

Now Sunagakure Village is not only a village, but also a country, so the entire Kingdom of Wind can invest in absorbing refugees.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

There is no need to worry about being unable to supply supplies and food.

With the support of Lieyang Kingdom, which has accumulated supplies for many years and has exploded productivity, it is more than enough.

Yes, changes in productivity are what gives Lieyang Country the courage to absorb refugees wantonly.

If it were other countries, even if they had the intention, they would not be able to do so.

Because with their productivity, it would be good to be able to feed themselves, but there would be no extra food and materials to feed the refugees.

Therefore, not everyone can do this kind of thing.

"...I believe the daimyo will agree. If they don't agree, Konoha can help 'persuade' them!"

After Jiraiya thought about it for a moment, he gave a direct answer in the affirmative.

In the past, he would not have dared to make such a guarantee.

But before today's meeting, he received a promise from the Daimyo envoy, giving him a lot of power.

Not only Jiraiya, Onoki and Ai also received these promises.

It's just that the nobles and daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water had long died at the hands of the Akatsuki organization, so it was impossible to get a promise, and they were also vaguely excluded by the daimyo and nobles.

The original plan of the daimyo was to settle accounts with these two great ninja villages after they had solved the Lieyang Kingdom.

Who dared them to rebel against Tiangang and directly occupy a country with ninjas?

If it weren't for the even more hateful enemy, Lieyang Country, there would definitely be no good fruits for Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village.

It was originally a vain attempt, but because the Lieyang Kingdom could not be solved, it became more and more dependent on the two major ninja villages. Only then did the daimyo decide to really win over the two major ninja villages, so tariffs and refugees could be negotiated.

As the Hokage, Jiraiya was certainly aware of the changes in mentality of the daimyo and nobles, so he dared to give a direct guarantee.

"The Akatsuki organization dares to steal one of our Sunagakure Village. No matter how high the price is, we must deal with these hateful guys!"

After hearing Jiraiya's promise, Ye Cang immediately stated that he was irreconcilable with the Akatsuki organization.

In this way, only Kirigakure Village is left.

"The Kirigakure Village agrees to form a coalition, but we don't have many people to send!"

Terumi Mei responded calmly in the affirmative.

support!

But he won't go all out.

Because Kirigakure Village is far away from the mainland, even if the Akatsuki organization wants to cause trouble, they will not be the first to suffer misfortune, so this reaction is normal.

And this is all for the sake of trade. Otherwise, let alone support, it would be good if you don't oppose it vocally.

Regarding Terumi Mei's response, although Jiraiya, Ai, and Onoki were a little unhappy, they were not dissatisfied. Instead, they thought it was pretty good.

In the past, Kirikage Village implemented a "closed-door" strategy, which meant that you major ninja villages could just play by themselves and not disturb you. Now that everyone is willing to support the coalition, what more bicycles do you need? .

The next step is to determine the candidate to command the coalition forces.

Neither Jiraiya nor Ai would give up on this position.

But before the two of them could speak, something happened at the venue.
