Chapter 438: The Alliance Formally Established(1/2)
Chapter 438 The alliance is officially established
On the fourth day of the Five Shadows Conference, the third meeting started. There was a day off on the third day, so the fourth day was the third meeting.
Probably because it was already the third time, everyone looked more relaxed. Even Raikage, who had not spoken much, was chatting with the guards behind him.
After all, the main purpose of this meeting was to establish the Ninja Trade Alliance, and they, Kumogakure, had already joined. Only Yagura had not expressed his position. No matter what, Nagaze would not be able to trouble him.
As for why he didn't talk to the other Kages, Konoha had taught them a painful lesson as Kumogakure, so he didn't really want to talk to Minato, otherwise they might be able to talk to each other. They had fought a lot in the past.
Onoki was simply disgusted. After all, his father died at the hands of Iwagakure in the Third Ninja War not long ago.
As for Rasa, the Raikage simply doesn't like his personality, so we can't talk to him.
In fact, the most important reason was the war. Whether it was Luo Sha or Onoki, they could not chat candidly. The reason why Onoki looked cheerful throughout the whole process was just a part of politics.
Maybe, more than ten years later, they will hold a Five Shadow Conference and they can talk more harmoniously, but that is not possible now. The war has only been over for a few years, and they all remember the scars it caused to each other.
Even more than ten years have only made the scars fade slightly, rather than disappearing, because the five major ninja villages all have feuds with each other.
If things like Kaguya Black Zetsu had not appeared in the original work, it would have been impossible for the five major ninja villages to unite, and how could the accumulated hatred be easily resolved.
"So, Mizukage, have you Kirigakure thought of your answer?" Nagazawa asked calmly.
He is not worried that Kirigakure will not join. If he does not join, the only loser will be Kirigakure himself, who will isolate himself from the outside world.
Of course, it would be better if Kirigakure joins, and Nagaze still hopes that Kirigakure can join.
Although the Kingdom of Water is just an island country, the power of the Kingdom of Water is actually greater than people think. Basically, all island countries on the sea follow the leadership of the Kingdom of Water.
Of course, this is not because the island in the Kingdom of Water is the largest, but because the Kingdom of Water is the strongest, with Kirigakure Village having the five great ninja villages.
"Well, we Kirigakure will also join the Ninja Trade Alliance established by Konoha." Yagura nodded and replied.
Just yesterday, Kirigakure discussed this result. They carefully analyzed the pros and cons and found that the gains of joining far outweighed the disadvantages of joining.
Kirigakure is an island country and has many scarce resources that are not available on land. Kirigakure Village also possesses excellent knife-making techniques, which will give Kirigakure Village an advantageous position in trade.
Moreover, joining at this time also avoids being too independent, and avoids other people checking Kirigakure's situation, which may lead to the reality that he is found to be weak.
"Okay, then the Ninja World Trade Alliance has been established. The leader of the alliance will be elected and changed every five years. Does anyone have any questions about this?" Nagaze announced the establishment of the alliance.
Everyone shook their heads and said there was no problem. This was all written on the documents and they had known it for a long time.
Rather, others are glad that Konoha has not announced that Konoha will be the leader of the alliance from now on.
"I think Konoha, as the organizer, can better lead the alliance forward, Iwagakure votes for Konoha." Onoki said quickly with a smile.
Don't directly declare that you are the boss. You can't really think that you can run for leadership. If you do, you are not simply seeking death.
Others give you face and leave you the last trace of dignity. You must not be ignorant of good and evil, otherwise you may be forced to show dignity.
"Konoha's strength is the first among the five major ninja villages, so it should be the leader of the alliance. Sunagakure votes for Konoha." Rasa said immediately.
Rasa has long since run out of other ideas, and now she just wants to follow Konoha to drink soup and develop her own shinobi village. Sunagakure is really short of money.
"Kumogakure votes for Konoha." The Fourth Raikage thought for a while and said.
If you want the Raikage to say good things about Konoha like Onogi Rasa, that's impossible. Even if the Raikage's body is defeated, his mind will not yield!
One day, he will lead Kumogakure to surpass Konoha again.
Of course, it's one thing not to give in. No one will vote for them anyway. It's impossible to compete for leadership. They simply don't do anything else and just vote for Konoha.
"Kirigakure votes for Konoha." Yagura followed.
It doesn't matter who the leader of the alliance is. Yagura doesn't care. Since they all vote for Konoha, he just needs to follow suit. Anyway, it's impossible for Kirigakure to take this position.
Rather, if it really comes to Kirigakure's head, Yagura will have to push it away with all his strength. The current situation of Kirigakure is not very good. He is still the boss, so he doesn't want to die quickly enough, right?
However, Yagura was still curious as to why they all unanimously voted for Konoha. Even the thorny Raikage voted for Konoha instead of giving himself a vote. There was no rule written that he could not vote for himself.
Yagura has always found this experience very confusing. He doesn't know what happened in the ninja world during the time he was controlled. It seems that the rest of the ninja village is afraid of Konoha.
It happened that Kirigakure where he was was in a state of confusion because of Seokoku. No one knew why. They only knew that Konoha suddenly became better than others, but they didn't know why.
Fortunately, Yagura is not the kind of person who likes to break a casserole and get to the bottom of things. As long as he knows that Konoha is not easy to mess with, he should not cause trouble in Konoha.
Next, just wait until it is safe and then investigate slowly.
"It seems that Konoha is loved by everyone, and it was unanimously approved." Nagazawa said in a playful manner, pretending to be surprised, and even Terumi Mei with a fake expression could tell that he did it on purpose.
Lei Ying turned his head silently, preventing himself from looking at Nagaze's expression.
Onoki was still smiling, looking like a good old man.
Luo Sha's expression remained unchanged and her eyes were dull.
Yagura looked up at the sky, admiring the ceiling of the newly built conference room.
Nagaze is not a demon. After that, he didn't deliberately stimulate the other four shadows. He just followed the process.
After the recollection was over, Lei Ying left the conference room at a quick pace, looking very embarrassed. His burly figure looked like an aggrieved 200-pound man.
"You must be very strong." Terumi Mei, who was walking with her again on the way back, said mindlessly.
"Oh, how did you see that I didn't release any momentum for the time being?" Nagaze asked curiously, looking at Mi Mei.
Almost no one in Kirigakure saw him take action, and the only one, Yagura, was still unconscious at that time.
"If you were not strong, you would have been beaten to death long ago." Terumi Mei complained ruthlessly.
Without him, Nagaze really behaved like he didn't deserve to be beaten, and he had a sense of deja vu that he was taking advantage of him.
At that time, Terumi Mei thought a fight was about to start. After all, Nagazawa spoke in an eccentric manner. If the relationship between the two had not been considered as friends, Terumi Mei might have had the idea of spitting at Nagazawa to escape.
However, there was no fight, and instead there was a strange silence, so Terumi Meicai said that Nagazawa must be very strong.
"Don't say that. It sounds like I deserve a beating. I'm not bragging. I'm quite popular in Konoha. If there was a list of the most popular men in Konoha, I might rank first." Nagazawa
While replying to Terumi Mei, he also responded to the person he greeted.
Terumi Mei didn't say anything. She was not sure whether she could get the first place. After all, according to common sense, this position was in the negative.
But she couldn't deny that Nagazawa was welcomed by the people of Konoha. She often met people who greeted Nagazawa on the road, including ninjas and ordinary people.
But if you say that you are popular, it should be considered narcissistic, Terumi thought.
She had never met anyone like Nagaze, or a ninja like Nagaze, and it gave her a very subtle feeling.
However, getting along with Yongze is much more comfortable than with most people in her life. If she doesn't feel comfortable, it will be very easy.
"Is it because of my strong strength that I don't care about those things, and I don't feel comfortable with others, so I can be so relaxed." Terumi Mei felt a trace of envy.
"What, you don't believe it?" Nagazawa asked with a smile when Mei Mei Terumi didn't say anything, as if Terumi Mei didn't believe it, he would actually do an event to prove it.
"There is no denying that you are popular among Konoha people. If you could treat other people normally like this, I'm afraid you would be more popular." Terumi Mei replied.
She didn't think that Nagazawa, the Hokage's assistant, would engage in a very interesting activity for such a boring thing, so she didn't think of any suspicious answers, she just expressed her inner thoughts.
Although the other people in the words didn't say who they were, both of them knew who they were.
"Maybe." Nagaze said with a smile.
Maybe if he shows his attitude toward the people of Konoha and treats Raikage, he can gain a friend whom he doesn't know even if he doesn't fight. After all, the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure has passed.
However, looking at the dark face of the Fourth Raikage, Nagazawa really couldn't help but want to persecute him. Looking at the dark face of the Raikage becoming darker or darker due to his emotions, Nagazawa could feel pleasure.
.
Pleasure, so much pleasure!
Of course, Yongze must not say it so bluntly, otherwise it would damage his image.
"Kumogakure wanted to invade Konoha a few years ago. How could I give him a good look? Do you think Konoha can bully me at will?" Nagaze suddenly became serious and said.
"The hatred of the war...is the same." Terumi thought and realized that Kirigakure had also invaded Konoha during the Third Ninja War, and she was a little panicked.
Fortunately, they had already reached their respective sections. The two of them had to separate and could no longer walk together. Terumi Mei patted her chest on a scale that would make an adult woman envious and breathed a sigh of relief.
'Villages, wars, ninjas... this is such a bad world.' Terumi Mei sighed, suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart, and walked towards the hotel where Kirigakure lived.
Ordinary ninjas are qualified to spurn this cruel world, but she is not, because she is a "vested interest" in the ninja world.
Yongze bought a portion of dumplings, a box of ice cream, and a box of strawberry milk and returned to his home.
Nagaze walked into the house with something and put it on the table, preparing to replenish the sugar consumed during the meeting.
Kabuto noticed the movement and came down from upstairs.
"Kabuto, didn't you practice this morning?" Nagaze was eating dumplings and was a little surprised when he saw Kabuto who had just come off.
Normally Kabuto would still be practicing at this time and wouldn't be at home.
"I ended my training early because I had something to ask you about," Kabuto explained.
"You should really eat less of these. I heard that eating too much of these high-sugar foods will make you fat." Kabuto couldn't help complaining when he saw the desserts on the table.
For ninjas, getting fat is not a good thing and will affect their own strength.
Of course, if you have been fat since childhood, it will not happen. On the contrary, if you suddenly lose weight, it will have an impact.
"With my strength, if I can still gain weight, then this world must be false!" Nagaze said disdainfully.
Becoming stronger is for enjoyment. If you can't even eat your favorite dessert, then why is there any need for this world to exist (violent theory).
