After entering the Kingdom of Thunder, Konoha and his party did not delay. They took the identity documents of the envoys and went to meet the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder.

As expected, this negotiation will last for a long time.

In this regard, Konoha was not skilled in business. She left the main force of the negotiation to Uncle Izuna and Nara. She communicated with them about the bottom line of signing the agreement, then stood aside and watched, and at the same time assisted from the side and confirmed the negotiation. The rhythm is not distorted.

When they asked for compensation, as expected, the Kingdom of Thunder refused.

"We are ashamed and saddened by everything that has happened to your village. Yunyin's unauthorized actions are indeed the responsibility of our Kingdom of Thunder's improper restraint. However, is it inappropriate to start talking about the lion based on this?"

What a wonderful "noble village"... Haha, are they selectively blind to their status as "representatives of the Fire Nation"?

Quan Nai sneered in his heart, not giving them a chance to secretly change their concepts, and emphasized: "I hope your country will understand clearly that when we come here this time, we are carrying the fingerprints of our country's daimyo, and we are also communicating with your country under the instruction of our country's daimyo. To negotiate, I believe your country also knows what this means, right?"

"Our Konoha is an official military force affiliated with the Country of Fire, but your country has carried out sneak attacks without authorization. Can I regard this as an unprovoked provocation against our country? Moreover, your country has vested interests and territorial jurisdiction over our country. It is an undisputed fact that serious violations of human rights have been caused.”

Hearing these words, the representatives of the Kingdom of Thunder across the negotiation table had bright faces and looked particularly good-looking.

Due to stereotypes, when they heard that the Fire Country sent ninjas as envoys, they were disdainful. In their view, ninjas were just reckless men with no strength. How could they be qualified for this job?

In fact... How could a ninja who has been active on the battlefield as a "mercenary" for a long time be so stupid?The thousand-layered routines in the ninja world are sometimes not as simple as the intrigues among upper-class nobles.

Uchiha Izuna is naturally the best among them.

"Please understand clearly that this is a problem at the 'national' level." Quan Nai deliberately emphasized the word "country". He first established his own momentum, and then slowed down in this somewhat "aggressive" atmosphere. The ground tightened, and he leaned back slightly, with a perfect official smile on his face.

"Actually, as a member of Konoha Hidden Village, although I am angry at Kumogakure's actions, I can also understand that your country is busy with things and cannot take care of the difficulties, and I really don't want to force your country."

Here comes one of the essential skills for official speaking: "telling lies with open eyes"!

Konoha was speechless as she watched Izuna say things that even a fool would not believe without a red face and a heartbeat, thinking that she had learned something.

Just listen to his change of words: "However, the great names of our country are unwilling to let go of this page. For the sake of national reputation, we cannot just stay at the stage of condemnation. This will lose the support of the people and make others think that our country is weak." You can be bullied." At the end of his words, Quan Nai sighed quietly, his brows filled with sadness, as if he was really worried about this.

It's okay, it's okay. In an instant, the priorities are reversed, and the black becomes white. Is this the art of speaking? I love it.

Konoha felt that she could hardly hold back her expression.

She glanced at the other side...well, it also looked like she had eaten a bunch of flies. Even with her eyes closed, she knew what they were thinking - are you still weak and can be bullied? ?The richest big country and the most powerful ninja village are still weak and can be bullied? ?

Izuna entered the scene, and Nara caught the conversation at the right time and firmly controlled the rhythm: "We can understand your country's difficulties, so we also hope that your country can understand our difficulties. Our country's daimyo is involved in this matter. The attitude is very firm, and we must give an explanation."

This means never giving in.

Seeing the increasingly worried expressions on the side of the Kingdom of Thunder, Konoha knew that there would be no way to end the day peacefully.

After all, no matter how eloquent they are, if the core purpose is to steal their cake, anyone will fight back desperately.

Most of the time, discussions involve compromises with each other, each making concessions and gaining and losing, so that the results can be controlled within an acceptable range.

The meeting lasted for another half month.

During this period, the Kingdom of Thunder still insisted on the land and refused to let go, but it gradually gained some insights in terms of compensation.

But money is not their main goal. Now both sides are eyeing the land of Thunder Kingdom, and no one will take a step back.

After another pause in negotiations, Konoha grew tea leaves on site in the residence arranged for them by the daimyo and made tea for a few thirsty adults.

The tea in the cup swayed lightly, ripples appeared, and mist rose. Izuna brought it to her lips, took a sip, and leaned on the soft cushion, which finally relieved the fatigue caused by many high-intensity talks.

God knows why negotiations are more tiring than fighting. The representatives from the Country of Thunder on the opposite side have changed three times, and they are still fighting a "wheel war."

Nara raised the current crux: "The biggest problem now is that both sides are unwilling to let go of the land. We have to find a way to break the situation."

Konoha thought for a while.

"It's difficult... After all, even if it's legitimate to ask for compensation, in the end it's us who are asking for compensation, and the initiative is still in their hands."

"Then Konoha, do you have any insights?"

"Hmm..." She held her chin, looked out the window, and let her mind wander for a while.

Since ancient times, the so-called "methods to break the situation" are nothing more than two types, coercion or inducement.

"Who do you think has benefited the most from today's peaceful situation?"

"Civilian." Quan Nai said without thinking.

"Yes, they are civilians, and indirectly they are also nobles - especially the nobles of those weak countries." Konoha said, "During the Warring States Period, the acquisition of national resources basically relied on plunder, and weak countries were always the targets of plunder. Although the Kingdom of Thunder is considered a big country, its overall strength is not outstanding among the five major countries, and it should have suffered a lot in past wars. With the arrival of peace and recuperation, the Kingdom of Thunder can slowly restore its national strength in a stable environment. Common people can create more wealth, and nobles can squander more."

"So, in terms of anti-war, we are consistent with the top leaders of the Kingdom of Thunder, and the reason why we choose talks is to avoid war and use peaceful means to resolve conflicts as much as possible."

"But will the nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder compromise for the sake of peace?" Sugawara couldn't help but speak up. He didn't believe that there were such far-sighted and broad-minded beings among the nobles, even if peace allowed them to produce more wealth. Same.

"Of course not, so we have to force them - not cherishing something until it is about to be lost is a common bad trait of human beings."

Konoha held the tea cup and said slowly: "Humans are creatures that need comparison. If the Kingdom of Thunder still won't let go next time, you can say - if the peace talks fail, we reserve the right to use force in the end and will give up on Kumogakure." To respond to the Kingdom of Thunder on the issue of invasion - of course it is to scare them, but it is also a warning to them. Compared with the threat of possible destruction of the country, it is only the loss of one or two pieces of land, which one do you choose?"

The word "destruction of a country" is no exaggeration. Considering the strength of Konoha Hidden Village, if a country is really targeted for a wide-scale attack, it will be a disaster of national annihilation.

Not to mention anything else, her two fathers are about to escape the category of human beings and evolve into "natural disasters".

The nobles who often use ninjas and treat them as weapons of war should be very aware of the destructive power of ninjas, so she doesn't believe they dare to take a gamble.

"On one side is the cessation of territory to calm the dispute, and on the other side is the war to destroy the country that is coming at any time. The nobles are not stupid and will make the right choice. At this time, they will cherish this hard-won peace more than anyone else."

"Of course, we can't just threaten people. After this, we should give some benefits appropriately, don't force people to death, and give them a chance to breathe, which can also speed up the negotiation process. But this aspect is up to you, uncle. Well, I won’t participate.”

Dangling his calves, Konoha drank the tea in one breath and ran to find a waiter to clean up.

It wasn't until the sound of the door closing broke the silence that the adults woke up from a dream.

Izuna and Nara, who were already used to Konoha's speeches, immediately got into work mode and discussed the feasibility of this idea.Unlike them, the two nobles looked at each other and saw horror on each other's faces.

Is this... really the vision that a little girl at an immature age should have?

Are you ninjas so unreasonable? ?

Konoha's existence as a ninja village consciousness is open to the entire ninja world, but not many people know her appearance, and Izuna and the others didn't explain much, so the two nobles really thought that little Konoha was just an ordinary human. Girl, I still wonder why I want to take my child on the road.

Now it seems that there are no children among the ninjas!They are all little monsters wearing human skin!

With Konoha's friendly solution to the problem, when Izuna and others went to negotiate the next day, they really improved the progress that had been in a stalemate for many days.

According to what the little girl said, show murderous intent when threatening. Don't be too cruel. Just scare people. Momentum at the negotiation table is also very important.

Under the pressure of national subjugation, and under the watchful eyes of the "messengers" of the Fire Nation, representatives of the Thunder Nation finally talked about the handover of the land...

There was no problem with the general direction, and Konoha did not go to the scene to watch the spat after that. After confirming many details, she safely handed them over to a few adults, and she went to the land to be handed over to check.

If the plan goes right, this will be her reserve granary from now on, and it will be the first step for Konoha Village to become self-sufficient. Of course she has to care about it.

In this era, land cession involves the cession of all assets in the area, including the population, so she also needs to roughly confirm the population, which is also her future labor force.

Konoha was flying all the way, and ran over to take a look, oh haha.

The Kingdom of Thunder seemed indeed frightened.

The land given to them is thousands of miles away from Yunyin Village.

After this massive hemorrhage, no matter how much the upper echelons of the Land of Thunder hated what Yunyin caused, they would not do anything to Yunyin - they had fully realized how important a country's ninja military was, and not only would they not target Yunyin Hidden, there is a high probability that they will be imprisoned.

After realizing that the behavior of the Ninja Village is closely related to the country, the Kingdom of Thunder will inevitably strengthen its control over Kumo Gakure, and will also increase its efforts to cultivate the military strength of its own Ninja Village. At this time, it will definitely surround Kumo Gakure tightly from all directions. No, it would be better not to give people from the Fire Country any chance of contact, and the ceded land should be far away from each other.

The desire to survive was finally ignited, but it was too late. Kumogakure's overall strength was severely damaged, and...

Their goal has been achieved, Konoha thought.
