Naruto: Opening Awakening Corpse Bones

Chapter 47
Kirigakure's foreign troops arrived at the daimyo's mansion on the morning of the third day.

The daimyo came to meet him in person, with a friendly welcome.

The leading diplomat in the team is the senior elder of Wuyin Village, Satoru Kusada.

He is very senior, and he was one of the very few high-level officials who stood in the Kuju Yakura faction at the beginning of the reform.

Goju Yakura sent him to lead the foreign affairs this time, with the highest expectations to meet the corresponding funding requirements.

Kusada Satoru is a very resourceful person.

In the early years, he fought with the militant second-generation Mizukage on the battlefield and made great contributions.

During the three generations of Mizukage's reign, he was firmly behind the scenes, and under extremely strict policies, he stepped into the top ranks step by step.

Later, he helped Goju Yakura to complete the coup, and his credit was even more prominent.

But he didn't take the credit at all, instead he was unknown and only stepped forward when the village needed him.

In general, this is a person who commits himself to darkness but has light in his heart.

He believes that under the leadership of Goju Yakura, Wuyin Village can get out of the shadow of the blood mist and continue to develop and prosper.

For this reason, he led the foreign affairs force to re-establish the friendship between the village and the country with the nobles and daimyo of the water country, laying a solid foundation for the future development of Wuyin Village.

The foreign troops, led by their attendants, walked into the meeting hall.

Many noble officials have already taken their seats, waiting for Kirigakure to take their seats.

When everything was ready, the daimyo sat down at the head of the long table and announced the start of the discussion.

The ninjas of the foreign affairs force and the guards of the daimyo's mansion guarded the outside together, and time passed.

The corresponding matters were carried out one by one according to Wuyin Village's negotiating request.

The water country daimyo and many officials agreed to many requests of Wuyin Village with little objection.

This cooperation surprised Kusada Satoru, but at the same time gave rise to a little uneasiness.

One must know that the nobles of the Water Country are very greedy. Could it be that they will just watch their own interests be lost?
For some reason, Satoru Kusada felt that the last requirement, which was also the most important requirement in today's negotiations, would be severely blocked.

"The last request of Wuyin Village is the application for funds. We request that the country of water can increase the appropriation funds by 20.00% to repair the infrastructure of Wuyin Village, improve the treatment of talents in Wuyin Village, and update the purchase of equipment, etc. "

As he spoke, Kusada Satoru felt the change in the atmosphere present.

All the officials and nobles, as if they had rehearsed, were silent and looked down at the documents.

Sitting at the top, the daimyo of the country of water, propped his chin with his hands, and his face was rather gloomy.

After the diplomats on Kusada Satoru's side finished their recitation, the conference hall suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere of silence made even the Kirigakure messengers present feel that something was wrong.

Slowly, the daimyo of the country of water sighed, "Hey, we are all clear about your request on behalf of Wuyin Village. We can agree to the previous regulations, but this is the last one."

The daimyo of the country of water shook his head and said no more.

Cao Tian Wuxin said that sure enough, many of the previous regulations were actually to seek the consent of the country of water symbolically, in order to improve the legality and rationality of the opening of Wuyin Village.

So those requests are not actually requests at all. The purpose of their visit this time is to strive for higher financial support.

Kusada Satoru had already guessed that the process would not go smoothly, so he didn't panic too much.

He considered for a moment and began to speak: "I understand the doubts of Your Excellency Daimyo and everyone. In fact, this funding request is more for the infrastructure construction of the village. Since the fourth generation abolished the policy of killing graduates from ninja schools, the next graduates will be ninjas. It will be several times more than before, so Wuyin Village needs this fund to train them. When they grow into independent ninjas, the strength of Wuyin Village will be increased by at least half, and the country of water will become stronger because of this.”

Kusada Satoru talked eloquently and made some clear arguments.

Some officials present also nodded secretly after hearing this, thinking that this funding application is indeed necessary.

But they still have a cold look on the surface.

Because the decision on this matter is in the hands of the daimyo and nobles, if they disagree, even if many officials agree, there is no way to allocate funds.

What's more, this time the daimyo explained in advance, so that all officials involved in the negotiations must obey the instructions and refrain from talking nonsense, especially regarding the funds, and must not express their approval.

They are just a bunch of dumb now, and they can only express their opinions from the bottom of their hearts.

After Kusada Satoru finished speaking again, his tongue was a little dry.

But he saw that the officials present still remained silent, and realized that things were not that simple.

At this time, a nobleman spoke.

"We understand what you mean, but here, we also have some words that we want to say to the fourth generation of Shuiying, and I hope you can pass them on."

"please say."

The nobleman cleared his throat, and his whole person became aggressive: "Then let me tell you straight, the daimyo of our country of water was attacked by a ninja the night before and almost died. After identification, the ninja used , is the ice escape of Kirigakure Village, that is, the ninja of the Minazuki clan."

After hearing this, Satoru Kusada was stunned, what's going on?

Why did the Minazuki clan attack the Daimyo of the country of water?
Memories flashed through Kusada Satoru's mind.

Back then, under the rule of Mizukage III, the blood mist tyranny caused many ninjas to defect to the village.

Among them are many blood successor ninjas, including the Minazuki clan, Kaguya clan, even the ghost lamp clan of the second generation Mizukage Ghost Lantern Huanyue, and the family of the first generation Mizukage Hakuren.

But these are a minority after all, and most of the people in the village still remain.

Could it be those traitors?
Kusada Satoru looked at the photo evidence taken out by the nobleman.

An icicle was inserted under the bed board, and the tip of the ice pierced the bed board, with blood stains on it.

A man in protective leather armor was pierced by an icicle, and blood flowed all over the floor.

After the nobleman finished speaking, the Water Country daimyo shook his head and sighed: "I hope the fourth generation can give me an explanation, my concubine was brutally killed by that assassin in order to protect me, I really can't forget that night. "

Kusada Satoru couldn't tell whether what Daimyo said was true or not, but he had no way of verifying it, so he could only take it seriously.

"I see, I will report to Lord Fourth and let him investigate the matter thoroughly."

Kusada Satoru secretly sighed. With this incident, today's negotiation may not be possible.

At this time, the Daimyo of the Water Country suddenly said: "Your Excellency Diplomat, I just saw that there is a Kirigakure ninja today, who seems to be from the Minazuki clan, right?"

Kusada Satoru thumped in his heart, but remained calm.

"There is such a person, but he has been with me all the time, not the assassin who committed the murder that night."

The corners of the water country daimyo's lips twitched slightly: "Diplomat, you must know that I haven't been assassinated for a long time. Why is it so coincidental this time that an assassin will assassinate me on the eve of your foreign troops' arrival."

The daimyo of the country of water lowered his head and sneered.

"Someone must have tipped off the news, and the assassin would assassinate me so coincidentally, in order to destroy our diplomatic relationship. The ninja of the Minazuki clan happened to be a member of the foreign affairs force, and the person who assassinated me was also a member of the Minazuki clan. People, you say, will they be related?"

Kusada Satoru was not overwhelmed by Daimyo's words, his thinking was very clear.

If it was really a ninja from the Moonless Clan of Hidden Water Mist Village, then why did he use such obvious and revealing moves.

Bingdun, didn't you make it clear to leave a handle?
This is very likely to be framed by traitors!

However, he had no reason to refute, because he also had no evidence to prove that the assassin was a traitor from Wuyin Village.

Or, this matter is nothing more than a self-directed and self-acted bitter trick.

Kusada Satoru got up straight away, "Your Excellency, please give the village some time to investigate the truth. That's all for today's negotiation. Let's leave first."

"Okay, let's call it a day."

The daimyo of the country of water announced the end of the discussion, stood up and prepared to leave.
