Chapter 158 Scorpion who wants to go to Konoha (6200)

Danzo arrived, and with him came a full 1,000 Konoha ninjas.

Regarding the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements, Sunagakure showed great enthusiasm.

Under the leadership of Kazekage Chiyo, Sunagakure Village set out the highest standards and welcomed the "King Master".

As the leader of Konoha's support force, Danzo was received by Chiyo and Ebizo and walked into the Kazekage's exclusive reception room.

Here, Danzo knew that his nephew Kizaru had repelled the invasion of Iwagakure and Kumogakure alone yesterday afternoon.

Kizaru's reputation in the ninja world has reached the level of the first Hokage.

I think back then, when the First Hokage was still alive, he could be said to have suppressed the entire ninja world by one person.

The first Hokage liked peace, so no ninja village in the entire ninja world dared to start a war.

This is the prestige of the strong!

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Danzo looked at Chiyo and Ebizo, ready to start a friendly exchange.

Knowing that Danzo's visit this time was not a good one, Chiyo and Ebizo were the most prepared.

At yesterday's meeting, Chiyo relied on her strength to intimidate the village's top brass, and successfully convinced some people who still couldn't see the situation clearly.

The village is already at the most critical moment. In order to survive and for the inheritance of Sunagakure, except for the village's autonomy and share of task entrustment, everything else can be compromised to Konoha.

While ensuring the bottom line, give up everything you can and let the village live safely under the protection of Konoha. As long as everyone is alive, there will be hope for the future.

As long as it can gain enough development time, the village will one day be able to recover and accumulate enough strength again.

Maybe, the village can also cultivate talented people like Kizaru in the future.

No, it doesn’t even have to be as strong as Kizaru. A person with 70% to 80% of Kizaru’s strength is enough.

By then, what the village has lost will naturally be able to get back.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure can also take revenge for their invasion.

This is the idea of ​​Chiyo and Ebizo, as well as the idea of ​​the senior management of Sunagakure who were convinced.

With the goal of surviving and preserving the energy to make a comeback, Sunagakure and Konoha started negotiations.

"Elder Danzo, are your demands too much? Is this Konoha's attitude towards allies?"

Even though he was prepared for heavy bleeding, Ebizo couldn't help but get excited after hearing Danzo's request.

No wonder Ebizo was so excited, Danzo's request was really too much.

This is no longer making a request, but digging out the roots of Shayin, or uprooting them.

500 million reinforcements were consumed, and Konoha and Sunagakure signed a brotherly alliance, with Konoha taking the lead in everything.

These two points were barely acceptable to Ebizo and Chiyo.

The latter ones are even more excessive.

In order to better protect the Kingdom of Wind and Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure invests 300 million every year to hire ninjas from Konoha to regularly maintain peace and patrol in the Kingdom of Wind.

In order to better help the reconstruction of Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure Village invests 200 million every year to hire Konoha education consultants to assist Sunagakure in reforming education.

At the same time, the minerals excavated by Sunagakure in the future can only be sold to Konoha.

These three are simply killing Sunagakure.

Let’s not talk about other things, just the protection fee of 500 million per year. If Sunagakure agrees to it, there will be no chance of development in the future.

The ninjas in the village have gone through life and death. After a year of hard work, less than half of the money they have earned has to be handed over to Konoha.

Under such circumstances, what else can Sunagakure use to develop? It would be good if it can maintain its current scale.

Moreover, you, Konoha, want to send consultants to interfere with the education system of my Sunagakure. What are you trying to do? This is to fundamentally attack the roots of my Sunagakure!

"These requests I made are all to help your village develop better." With a dark heart and a thick face, Danzo didn't care about Ebizo and Chiyo's expressions, which were getting worse and worse.

"We are very grateful for Konoha's support and help, but we have our own plans for village affairs." Not wanting to break up with Konoha, Ebizo politely refused.

Ebizo's refusal was expected by Danzo. If Ebizo directly agreed to such an excessive request, then it would mean there was something wrong.

According to Kizaru's suggestion, first make excessive demands to Sunagakure, and then go through rounds of long negotiations to get Sunagakure to agree to Konoha's real requirements. This was the plan formulated by Konoha before Danzo set off.

Although he was very calm inside, Danzo still frowned unhappily on the outside.

His face turned gloomy, and Danzo deliberately said in a threatening tone: "Sunagakure wants to reject our kindness? Have you thought clearly about the consequences?"

"It's not that we want to reject your village's goodwill, but your request is too much!" Ebizo stopped showing weakness and started to fight hard.

"Hmph! Too much? What is too much? This is Konoha's sincerity to help Sunagakure."

"I don't see any sincerity!"

"My nephew is still here."

"you!"

The first day of negotiations between Danzo and Sunagakure passed in a quarrel.

That night, Danzo finished the negotiation and came to the room where Kizaru was resting.

Walking into the room, Danzo looked at Matabusa and Shukaku playing cards on Kizaru's bed, with a strange expression on his face.

During today's negotiation, Danzo learned that Kizaru had conquered Sunagakure's Shukaku and was preparing to take him away.

Ebizo also grasped this point and pointed out that Sunagakure had paid a heavy price, showing his sincerity.

In response to this, Danzo's reply was that even if Ichibi stayed with Sunagakure, Sunagakure did not have the combat power to stop Ichibi from going on a rampage.

His nephew took Ichibi away for the safety of Sunagakure.

Danzo was telling the truth on this point. With only Chiyo, a Kage-level powerhouse left, Sunagakure Village was indeed powerless to stop Ichibi's rampage.

Chiyo's puppet technique is very strong, but she prefers fighting people rather than suppressing tailed beasts.

The ability to suppress tailed beasts is also a very important requirement for the five great ninja villages when choosing a Kage.

This is also the reason why Chiyo was not chosen when choosing the third Kazekage.

If it weren't for the sudden death of the third Kazekage in battle and the lack of high-end combat power in Sunagakure Village, Chiyo would not be promoted to the fourth Kazekage.

However, although Danzo's words were true, he still made Ebizo and Chiyo very angry when he said them so directly.

This is like a eunuch who married a wife, but someone took her away on the grounds that he was incompetent, looked uncomfortable, and was not good for his health.

It was simply Galen's whisper that broke people's defenses and silenced them.

What is even more uncomfortable is that Ebizo and Chiyo, who were ridiculed, did not have the strength and confidence to fight back, let alone lift the table!

"Kizaru, there's an old guy coming in!" Shukaku, who noticed Danzo entering the room and playing cards, reminded him kindly.

His cheek twitched, Danzo's first impression of Ichibi was extremely bad.

This kind of tailed beast should be sealed and trained into a chūuriki weapon!

Danzo glanced at Shukaku sadly, and when he saw Kizaru walking out of the inner room, Danzo changed his face to a gentle smile.

"Kizaru, thank you for your hard work!" Danzo said with concern as he looked at Kizaru.

"Oh ho ho! It's your turn to do the hard work next, uncle!" Kizaru said with a smile.

While talking, Kizaru and Danzo sat on the sofa in the living room.

After first learning the specific details of yesterday's battlefield from Kizaru, Danzo then told Kizaru about today's negotiations in detail.

"Sunagakure has suffered a lot of losses in this war. Now they have no other way out except to take refuge with us." After finishing the story, Danzo also gave his own evaluation.

After saying that, Danzo looked at Kizaru and said with a little complacency: "I did a pretty good job in the drama today! Hahaha!"

"Hmm! It would be better if you restrained yourself a little more!" In Kizaru's view, Danzo's acting as a bad actor is not called acting. He is completely acting in his true colors.

"Hahaha!" Danzo was not angry when he heard Kizaru complain. Instead, he laughed.

"When it comes to acting skills, I'm still much worse than you." Danzo, who had already decided in his heart that Kizaru had been acting in order to cover up his ambitions, said meaningfully.

Kizaru rubbed his head in distress, but Kizaru didn't explain out loud. Danzo had misunderstood, that's good!

"I don't understand what you are talking about! Uncle!" Kizaru said, pretending to be confused.

"Hahaha! I'm happy for your performance!" Danzo said with a laugh.

After saying that, Danzo suppressed his smile and got down to business, "You are temporarily staying in Sunagakure for a few more days. You can leave at any time after Yan arrives."

By leaving Kizaru behind, Danzo was not preparing to involve his nephew in the negotiations, but was using him as the greatest deterrent.

Today's Kizaru has a great reputation in the ninja world, and he is truly a man who can control a country.

"What a troublesome thing!"

"You don't have to worry about the negotiations, you just need to stay in Sunagakure Village."

"knew!"

After informing Kizaru of the subsequent arrangements, Danzo left the room without staying any longer.

For the next two days, Danzo continued to play bad guy with high intensity, keeping a gloomy face every day, and threatening Chiyo and Ebizo with Kizaru from time to time.
