Chapter 52 Beheading Operation (please vote for me!)

Uzumaki Village Building, meeting room.

"The Fire Country hopes to further sign a free trade agreement with our Whirlpool Country to eliminate trade barriers and thereby promote the free flow of goods, technology, and personnel."

The faint moonlight shone on the brown-black conference table. A middle-aged man sat at the head of the conference table. He carefully glanced at the other people present and said, "Do you elders have any opinions?"

One of the old men glanced at him helplessly and sighed: "Tetsuya, you are now the daimyo of the Whirlpool Country. Before you ask us, let us hear your thoughts first."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Uzumaki Tetsuya blinked his eyes, shrank his neck and said, "I am young and inexperienced now, so I will listen to the clan elders."

He spoke very humbly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

'I would rather not have the daimyo position I bought with my daughter, but it's not something I can decide...'

When he thought of Kushina having to live in a strange foreign land as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and when he thought of Kushina's crying face when she left him, Toruya Uzumaki couldn't help but feel a sense of heartache and helplessness.

But in front of these clan elders who are all grandfathers, there is really no room for rejection and resistance.

I just hope that Sarutobi Hiruzen can keep his promise and take good care of Kushina so that she won't be bullied by others.

"In that case, just reply."

At the same time, several other people chatted quietly for a while, and finally nodded and said: "The war is so fierce now, and although it is unlikely to affect us, reaching an agreement with the Country of Fire will be beneficial to both of us. "

"After all, our Country of Whirlpool and the Country of Fire have always been both prosperous and devastated. This is an agreement that has been adhered to since the Warring States Period."

Hearing this, the other clan elders nodded in agreement.

In the eyes of these high-level officials, Konoha and the Uzumaki clan can be said to be as close as brothers.

Not only because of the relationship between Mito-sama and Hashirama-sama, even the most outstanding Uzumaki Kushina in recent years was sent to Konoha at the request of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, Mito-sama is considered to have lived a long life even in Uzushio Village.

Konoha hopes that Kushina can succeed Mito-sama as the second Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and they, the top leaders of the Uzumaki Country, also hope to stabilize the friendly relationship with Konoha.

"Please take a look at this."

At this time, Uzumaki Tetsuya suddenly placed a form on the conference table.

"What is this?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then picked up the form and frowned.

"The Daimyo of the Country of Fire said that the caravan we sent before was somewhat affected by the turmoil, and some ordnance and supplies seemed to have been lost. I hope we can make up for that part as soon as possible..."

Hearing the name's words, the expressions of the clan elders were a little unsightly.

"Any missing material is an excuse. It's obvious that he wants more."

One of the clan elders suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "We don't have much supplies now. If we give them some more..."

Seeing that several clan elders were a little dissatisfied, Uzumaki Toru also quickly made peace with the situation, and tried to persuade him with a smile: "You guys don't know, the name of the Fire Country has been succeeded by Enichi Osamu. It's better not to cause trouble at this time. good."

"Enshixiu, the youngest son of the boss?"

After hearing his words, several clan elders frowned and talked: "That old guy actually abdicated at this time and replaced him with a brat. No wonder he is so pushy..."

After a noisy discussion for a long time, Uzumaki Toru also kept talking to Ni Ni, and by the end of the conversation there was sweat on his forehead.

"Then let's do it, Tetsuya, send someone over to negotiate and give them 10% higher than the selling price."

The rich man tapped his cane and said solemnly: "Just think of it as a way to give the new daimyo some face. You can't ruin the daimyo's relationship."

The Uzumaki clan does not have very strong combat power. They rely more on physical skills, perception and sealing skills. In fact, there are only a few people who can become ninjas, and there are not that many people who can be used to form an intelligence department.

Before the Second Ninja War completely breaks out, they must manage their relationship with the Fire Nation and use the intelligence systems of the Fire Nation and Konoha. Only in this way can they continue to develop with peace of mind.

With the distance between them and Konoha, if something unexpected happened, the ANBU would be able to arrive in just one day.

At that time, no matter which big country it is, no matter how hard it is to break their defense, they will be exhausted to death.

"Then we'll stop here today."

Uzumaki Toru also stood up, bowed slightly to the clan elders present, and whispered: "Thank you clan elders, if there is any new news, I will notify you when the time comes. Please enjoy the Mask Festival now."

"They are all old bones. If there is anything to enjoy, let the young people play." The clan elders waved their hands, laughed at themselves, got up and left one after another.

After all the clan elders left, Uzumaki Tetsuya let out a breath and walked to the window to look at the busy downtown in the distance.

Even though it was late at night, the lights were still on.

The crowds were surging like ants, forming a slowly swirling flow of black people on the street.

But at this time.

boom! !

A loud bang came from far to near instantly, and the whole building was shaken.

The window in front of Tetsuya Uzumaki buzzed and vibrated, cracking like spider webs with a rattling sound, splitting the confused face reflected in the glass into multiple parts.

As an ordinary person who does not know ninjutsu, Uzumaki Tetsuya's first reaction was to squat on the spot with his head in his hands, just avoiding a piece of glass fragments.

After confirming that there were no subsequent consequences, he stood up in a cold sweat while holding on to the window edge. He looked up at the distance outside the window as if facing an enemy, and said horrifyingly: "What happened?"

I saw that countless birds were so frightened that they took off, large black smoke came from a distance, and the orange-red fire light illuminated half of the sky.

"The armory where the detonating talisman is stored exploded?" Uzumaki Tetsuya murmured to himself, but soon shook his head, and the expression on his face became horrified, "No, no, that direction is..."

“The shopping street where the mask festival is held!!”

And just when he felt chilled, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The clan elders who had left came in embarrassedly, and beside them were several Uzushio Village ninjas with tense faces. They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Uzumaki Tetsuya was okay.

"Lord Daimyo, and all the clan elders."

A ninja walked out, his face a little ugly, but he still comforted: "Some accidents happened, please wait here for the time being, we have someone going to rescue."

"So, what happened?" Uzumaki Tetsuya's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is it an accident or...an attack?"

If someone attacks Uzushio Village, they must be too brave!

Also, why was no one warning from the beginning to the end? When did the defense force become so weak?

"Please don't worry, all ninjas are coming, it won't..."

Before Uzumaki Toru could get an accurate answer, the expressions of several clan elders and several ninjas changed, and they suddenly turned their heads to look out the window and said solemnly: "Someone is coming!"

Hearing this, Uzumaki Tetsuya subconsciously turned his head to look, and suddenly felt a chill welling up in his heart.

I saw a white mist suddenly pouring out from outside, and the buildings were gradually submerged, until their building was enveloped, filled with a chilling and cold atmosphere.

Judging from the way the ninjas looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, it was obvious that the mist was not naturally generated.

"Could it be..." Uzumaki Tetsuya's eyes twitched, "Are you coming for us?"
