Chapter 235 Feeling sorry for Shikamaru for one second
Chapter 235 Feeling sorry for Shikamaru for one second
In the hall, facing the windfall that the Fourth Kazekage had made while chatting and laughing, everyone in Konoha's senior management had different reactions:
The most unsettling thing among them was still Xiaochun when she went to bed. The little old lady's eyes were shining and she was counting the value of the placer gold with her fingers. She seemed to be several years younger.
After all, she has been in charge of Konoha's financial power for many years, and she knows that Konoha is not as money-hungry as it seems. If nothing else, just the pension for the fallen ninja after the war has already made her suffer from nervous breakdown all day long. .
There is also the replacement of the Hokage. You Konoha likes to put on a show. To change the Hokage, you have to carve a lifelike big head on the Hokage Cliff. It is not enough to use earth escape, and you have to hire a professional carver to do this.
p, this guy Hiruzen became Hokage from the age of more than 20 to almost 60, and he killed a sculptor specially raised by Konoha, okay? !
In addition to the avatar on the Hokage Cliff, there is also the Godly Robe (that is, Haori).
The haori of all previous Hokages were sewn by a little old lady embroidery master. No one else was allowed to do it for her, it had to be her!
They were so strict about their works that they had to strive for excellence even if it delayed the Hokage's inauguration ceremony. So much so that the future Kakashi sewed a "six" on the "four" of his teacher's "fourth generation" Haori before publishing it. Inauguration speech...
With this kind of craftsmanship, how can the charges be lower?
The ceremony for Minato to take over as Hokage may not seem extravagant, but in fact the cost is definitely not small.
Does anyone in Konoha care about all this? No.
Only Mrs. Xiaochun was silently feeling distressed behind her back, and her hair turned several gray with worry.
The most important point is that women of any age cannot contain their inner joy when they see the sparkling jewelry scattered everywhere~
The ones with a more indifferent attitude are Uncle Hiruzen and Uncle Menyan. The two old men know more or less about Luosha's abilities. Besides, how dare they come to Konoha alone to negotiate (banner), what should I say? You have to have some trump cards, right?
Danzo Shimura on the side saw Luo Sha reveal this hand, the greed and cruelty in his left eye flashed past, he lowered his head and continued to ponder and figure out something.
To be honest, Danzo doesn't really have much pursuit of money, but as the second-in-command of Konoha all year round, he naturally knows what money means to the operation of a ninja village.
In his opinion, although Rasa's ability was not enough to pose a big threat to Konoha in a short period of time, it should not be underestimated.
Although the elderly group in Konoha have different expressions, they are not aware of a key issue:
Where does this placer gold come from.
Only the young Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato saw the shining gold in this place, and his expression was very unnatural.
At this time, Minato really wanted to use the Flying Thunder God to bring his friend Shikaku over, but he was afraid that Shikaku would not be able to withstand the blow and die on the spot...
But he couldn't ask Feng Ying on the spot where the placer gold came from, and whether it was dug from our Fire Country.
There is no evidence in hand, everything is based on reasoning and guessing. If you shout Namikaze Minato, will the placer gold on the ground agree to you?
It can't be done~
"Although I was very unhappy inside, I couldn't find any reason to cause trouble, so I could only keep smiling politely."
This is Minato's inner monologue now.
It has to be said that Luo Sha's magnetic escape was enough to temporarily calm the situation. The big guys in Konoha had nothing to say. They couldn't face the sand gold in this place and roared at Feng Ying:
"Take your dirty money and get out of Konoha!"
In a secular society, you may not be able to do whatever you want if you have money, but at least you won't be ignored.
September 28, the forty-eighth year of Konoha, was destined to become a day of historical significance in the hearts of Konoha ninjas.
Because on this day, the Jonin class and some Chuunin were summoned and came to the Hokage Tower.
Their mission is only one:
The placer gold that filled one-third of the hall was sorted, weighed and packed into boxes.
This is a day that needs to be remembered, because on this day, the entire Konoha was slapped in the face with gold by the Fourth Kazekage from Sunagakure Village.
The subsequent negotiations were boring and lengthy, including modifications to the armistice agreement two years ago.
For example, according to the previous agreement, if Suna Ninja is on the opposite side of Konoha Ninja during a mission, he must give up the mission as soon as possible to make way for the Konoha bosses. If necessary, he must even lead the way for Konoha Ninja. Ye Ninja provides certain convenience and intelligence...
There are countless similar overlord clauses:
For example, the Suna Ninja must not compete for customers from Konoha by reducing prices; the Suna Ninja must not exceed two ninja teams when entering the Country of Grass, the Country of Taki, and the Country of Kawakawa...
It can be said that the armistice agreement signed between Suna Ninja and Konoha two years ago, except for Konoha's slightly kindness in paying war reparations, for Sunagakure Village, this is an agreement that completely humiliates the village.
"The winner has everything, the loser has nothing."
This sentence is also applicable to the current ninja world.
"Of course I will not overestimate my ability to overturn all these provisions, but the war between our two countries has ended for two years. Even the situation in the Sichuan Kingdom, which is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, has Become calmer.
Don't you think it's a bit excessive to continue to impose such harsh post-war sanctions on Sunagakure Village, the Fourth Hokage? "
At the negotiation table, Rasa faced Namikaze Minato, who was several years younger than him, but he didn't give him any extra face.
At this time, the people sitting next to Minato were no longer Uncle Hiruzen's team, but...
Well, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Kaiichi, who had a close relationship with Rasa, and Akimichi Choza, who was as solid as a mountain and had the style of a general.
Shikaku and Haiichi didn't show any embarrassment because they failed in plotting against Rasa and almost got killed one-on-two.
That's the thing between ninjas. On the battlefield, you plot against me and I assassinate you, but at the negotiation table, we are still chatting and laughing.
Besides, you dug up the Nara family's ancestral property, didn't Shikaku say anything?
Facing the aggressive Luo Sha, Minato shook his head, looking like he would not listen to the bastard chanting sutras, and replied:
"You can't say that, Mr. Kazekage.
There was a reason the armistice was drawn up the way it was two years ago. "
"In the fourteenth year of Konoha, Sunagakure Village blatantly violated its covenant and started a war because our village's second-generation Hokage-sama died in battle.
In the Thirty Years of Konoha, it was Takamura who once again expanded the war that was originally limited to the Land of Rain, in an attempt to lead the battle line to the Land of Fire. "
The person who took over Minato's conversation was none other than Rasa's gloomy future in-law Shikaku.
He stared directly at Luo Sha and continued in a calm tone:
“In the forty-second year of Konoha, that is, after you became the Fourth Kazekage, the first order you issued was to go to war with Konoha.
And the reason turned out to be that the disappearance of the third Kazekage of Takamura was nothing but related to Konoha.
To this day, Guicun still has not provided evidence to prove this incident.
With all due respect, with the performance of Sunagakure Village, it is really difficult for Konoha to give you unreserved trust. "
After all, Konoha's first military advisor is not a wasted reputation. At this time, Shikaku did not consider the status of his son in his wife's family in the future. He felt sorry for his ancestral property and just worked harder to fight against the Kazekage sitting opposite...
This made Luo Sha feel very uncomfortable. He looked around. Although he had brought Ma Ji and Juan with him during the negotiation at the table, these two little ones were compared to the contemporary pig deer butterfly beside Minato. Alas...
There really is no harm without comparison. Ma Ji was already so angry with the other party's words that he was holding his neck tightly as if he was about to take action if he disagreed with her.
Juan, on the other hand, kept records of the negotiations honestly, meticulously recording what Shikaku just said against his Yondaime...
What a waste of your record!
In this case, don’t remember it in such detail, okay? !
Luo Sha suppressed the helplessness and anger in her heart, smiled and said:
"Let's talk about it today and continue tomorrow."
