Chapter 348 Intentions and Negotiations

But now, Takigakure Village has obviously become a little different.

Even if it's just the beginning.

But Tsuchida can smell that the thriving development trend of Takigakure Village is either because that young man knows how to manage a ninja village, or because there are other people helping behind the scenes.

'Huh. . No matter which one it is, we still have to be more vigilant. . . '

Looking at the large government hall that is already in front of him.

Tsuchida exhaled a breath of foul air in his heart, thinking silently in his heart.

When Tsuchida and his subordinates arrived at the government hall.

There were already three figures sitting on the main seat and on the right side.

They were Menma, Shibuki, and Karin.

When Tsuchida saw the three people, especially when he saw Menma sitting on the main seat and Shibuki sitting in the lower seat, his eyes also condensed.

Slightly quickening his pace, Dodai bowed slightly and saluted after arriving at a position a little further ahead.

"Cloud Village, Dodai greets Mr. Menma and Mr. Shibuki."

After all, they are the victors. It is impossible to call them "sirs" directly, but it is still necessary to call them "sirs".

In the past history of the five major countries, even in the stage of life and death.

As long as it is necessary, for the ninja villages of other countries with very high reputations, or even the ninjas of the Five Kage, they still have to maintain basic respect.

This is also a way for the five major countries to safeguard their respective interests.

Don't think this is something insignificant.

"Haha, Dodai-san is polite, please sit down."

Menma smiled lightly, waved his right hand lightly, and said in a light tone.

"Yes."

Dodai also sat directly on the main seat on the far left with a smile on his face, and two cloud ninjas also sat down behind him.

When he saw these two cloud ninjas.

Menma's eyes also half-closed.

Not because of anything else.

Just because of the identities of these two cloud ninjas, Menma knew them a little, but not based on this life, but the memory of the previous life.

The person on the left is a mature woman with short blond hair. Her chest is so majestic that it is almost bursting out. If she is not mistaken, this cloud ninja should be Samui, a trusted subordinate of the Fourth Raikage and one of the secretaries in charge of the Fourth Raikage's daily work.

The other one also has short blond hair, but is a male cloud ninja.

It is the guard who accompanied the Fourth Raikage to attend the Five Shadows Conference in the original work, and the cloud ninja who is also outstanding in the perception technique - Xi.

It can be said that the three envoys sent by the Hidden Cloud Village this time are all elites in the Hidden Cloud Village.

If he really makes up his mind and kills them all regardless of the rules.

It will definitely make the Fourth Raikage heartbroken for a long time, but this nonsensical idea only went around in Menma's mind and was actively thrown out of his mind.

This is not a particularly threatening or valuable cloud ninja.

Menma didn't have much desire to attack. If Killer Bee appeared here, Menma might have the desire to attack.

After all, that was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Menma also greeted Dodai with a smile after he sat down. Although he had no social experience in his previous life, he could be said to be the biggest beneficiary of the Internet era. Many things, even if he had not experienced them personally, could be considered "seen".

In the case that the intention of the cloud ninja was certain.

Menma was able to face Dodai and his party in the most relaxed manner, without taking the initiative to speak.

They were the dominant party.

Dodai himself would not think that others would not know his intentions. Coming at this time was basically a visit with open cards. Before Dodai set off, he had already negotiated with his own Raikage. Even if the price to be paid was a little higher, it didn't matter, as long as all the cloud ninjas headed by Bokuto could be redeemed.

At first, Tsuchida felt that there were difficulties, but the problem should not be too big.

After all, Tsuchida was not clear about Menma's true intention.

He also thought that with Yukito, the two-tail would definitely be slightly biased towards them. In addition, based on the current environment of the ninja world, Menma and Shibuki were both young people within the known range.

Tsuchida felt that the feasibility was still quite high.

But even at this first meeting, Tsuchida could clearly feel that the red-haired boy in front of him might not be as easy to fool as he imagined. The most important thing was that he misjudged the relationship between Menma and Shibuki, which also completely messed up Tsuchida's initial plan. Menma had a high status in Takigakure Village, and Menma had become the leader of Takigakure Village. It was completely different.

The constant polite conversations back and forth were completely formalistic.

Tsuchida couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He really didn't expect this young man to be so talkative, and most importantly, so patient? No intention to ask?

Although they came here on their own initiative, they have already lost the most crucial initiative, but they can strive for more details like this, so the better. But from the current situation, if they don't say anything.

Menma is 100% sure that he can keep going around.

‘After all, our side has needs from others. ’

Tutai sighed quietly inwardly.

I also adjusted my mentality in my heart, reorganized my words, and found a good distance for chatting.

"Ahem, in fact, we came today under the orders of Lord Raikage to negotiate with your village on some minor issues. The previous friction was also due to some misunderstandings. We came with sincerity and hope that we can Eliminate the misunderstanding between the two villages and restore the previous friendship.”

Tudai also coughed lightly, looked at Menma on the throne with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice.

Diplomatic conversation means talking to people and talking to ghosts.

Especially when it comes to the military conflict between the ninja villages of the two major countries, nonsense is also a necessary skill.

Didn't you hear Tutai's words?

Not mentioning the issues of casualties and hatred throughout the whole process is just trying to downplay the conflict between them.

Negotiation of minor issues? The so-called friction? Any misunderstanding?

Even if everyone knows it well, the negotiation must be like this.

"Misunderstanding?"

Listen to Tutai's words.

There was also a hint of smile in Menma's pupils.

Dodai's skill point of telling lies with open eyes is really full. No, it should be said that he can stay in the ninja world for decades and become a being who serves as the think tank of a great ninja village. This is the basic operation.

Even though this is something everyone knows.

But it just can’t be discussed on the table.

As long as the conditions between the two parties can be agreed upon, a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, and the exchanges between the National Ninja Village are so practical and direct.

"Since it is a misunderstanding and you are sincere, you might as well tell Tudai-san about your sincerity first. I think Tudai-san and the Raikage-dono will come here after careful consideration, right?"

Menma crossed his hands on the table and said with a smile.

The main intention will not change.

But the details still need to be carefully considered.

Yukito will not be released, but those captured ordinary Kumo ninjas can be negotiated. At any rate, there are nearly a hundred people. There seem to be several jonins. This is already a big deal for a ninja village. Human resources.

Being imprisoned in his own ninja village is a waste of his own resources.

However, if Yunyin Village does not offer conditions that satisfy him, then these hundred Yun Ninja will not even think about going back.

Menma would rather waste resources and keep him locked up.

As for killing the prisoners.

Ahem.

This is still not something you can do. Killing hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of enemies on the battlefield is fine, but killing prisoners after the war is over has a completely different meaning.

Menma doesn't want to be the villain of the entire ninja world. He's not as big-hearted as Runtu and Madara.

They have that kind of strength!

Of course, even if Menma now has power comparable to that of Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki, Menma would not do this.

What he wants to re-establish is a world with a new order, not Madara's empty 'dream world of peace', nor Kaguya's world of domination that is close to terrorism.

Therefore, maintaining one's own image is relatively important.

"Ahem, this is a natural thing. As long as you are willing to turn the war with our Cloud Hidden Village into friendship and tolerate our companions in the Cloud Hidden Village who have made some small mistakes, from now on, I can promise on behalf of our Lord Raikage that the Cloud Hidden Village will I will always be your staunchest friend, and I am even more willing to cooperate with you in some aspects.”

Tutai smiled slightly and said with an obviously sincere expression.

'friend? cooperate? ’

Listening to Tudai's nonsense, which was almost the same as farts, Menma seemed to be showing off his expression, but in fact, he had already scorned it in his heart.

Even Shibuki on one side showed a slightly weird look.

The war has reached this level, how can we still say that we have become firm friends? work together? Isn't that just a big joke?

You must know that after this battle, Yunyin Village was completely severely damaged. Even if the subsequent losses were all the fault of Iwagakure Village, the source was ultimately due to the fact that they in Takigakure Village beat Yunyin Village severely. That gave Yanyin Village such a good opportunity.

How come it got into the mouth of this Tutai Sang?

Is it really just a small misunderstanding between the two ninja villages?

Are they really the Kumo ninjas killed by their own Ninja Village, and the Kumo ninjas captured are all fake?

However, the more this happened, the more Shimu became afraid of Tutai.

To be able to say such words in such a relaxed manner in such a hateful situation is not something that ordinary people can do.

Didn't you see how stern and cold the expressions of the other two Kumo ninjas in the back were? I'm afraid that's already a result of intense patience, right?

"It is natural to restore friendship. We are all peace-loving people. Please rest assured, Todai-san, and please tell Mr. Raikage on your behalf that our Takigakure Village is also willing to maintain corresponding cooperation with Kumogakure Village. Relationship."

Menma looked at Dodai with a smile and said.

Telling lies? Who can't do that? I can just close my eyes and give you a set of smooth combos. Menma is no longer the same person as before. He can almost do this kind of thing. It's just a matter of looking at the dish. Menma said that although he can't compare with these old foxes, he still has basic skills.

When Dodai heard Menma's answer, his expression froze slightly.

He really didn't expect Menma to be so shameless?

That's right!

In Dodai's opinion, this is a manifestation of shamelessness. Peace-loving? You dare to say it.

In the successive battles, the most ninjas from the enemy ninja villages killed are from you, Takigakure Village, right?

At this time, you say that you are all peace-loving people? Shame on you?

For a moment, Dodai wanted to curse directly, but he still endured it.

Because in the end, it seems that in these consecutive wars, they were not the initiators, but the passive ones. Moreover, all crows are black, so there is no need for the eldest brother to say anything about the second brother. More importantly, they are asking for help now.

Whatever they say is what it is.

"Ah, Mr. Menma, don't worry, I will definitely bring the message back to our Lord Raikage."

Dodai quickly adjusted his mentality and replied with a smile.

As if they really have a deep friendship.

"That's the best. I also believe that our two villages can reach a consensus in many aspects."

Menma continued.

Still didn't mention anything, just talked nonsense there.

Seeing that Menma didn't take the bait at all.

Dodai felt helpless immediately.

Is this young man in front of him really only 13 years old? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it. It's definitely a little fox.

Dodai wants to start with Shibuki.

But Shibuki was just giving priority to Menma and was just there to listen, which made Dodai even more helpless.

This was definitely a case of not showing off one's intentions until one sees the rabbit.

"Ahem, to show our sincerity, here are some insignificant gifts from our Hidden Cloud Village. Please don't despise them, Mr. Menma and Mr. Shibuki."

He could only take the initiative to speak again, and while speaking, he took out a scroll from his arms.

Seeing this, the corners of Menma's mouth curled up slightly.

Flowing eyes.

Karin, who was sitting on the side, also understood what he meant, stepped down, and took the scroll directly from Dodai's hand.

"Haha, your village is really too polite."

Menma said hypocritically while taking the scroll from Karin. When he opened it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

A list of supplies that was not particularly heavy.

As a gift to restore normal relations between the two villages, it is indeed significant enough, but if you want to exchange the captured Kumo ninja with this list of supplies, it is just a foolish dream, not to mention that the most important thing in the Kumo Village is definitely that Yukito.

Whether Menma is willing or not is one thing.

The attitude of the Kumo Village itself is another.
