Negotiation is actually similar to going to the market to buy vegetables and bargaining. The core is nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot. The specific extent of the negotiation depends on the bargaining chips of both parties. There is no doubt that Yun Ren is in In this negotiation, we are at an absolute disadvantage.

Konoha holds the two heavyweight chips of the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki in its hands, which is equivalent to directly blocking the neck of Kumo Ninja. As for Kumo Ninja, he also found a way to capture some Konoha in this battle. of ninjas, but compared to the number of prisoners, Konoha completely crushed the Kumo ninja. Not to mention anything else, Shisui alone took away a whole group of people from the Kumo ninja headquarters after capturing the second tail.

What's even worse is that Kumo Ninja is the invader and the loser.

It's not reasonable, and the fist isn't strong enough.

In this way, it would be very uncomfortable to face the lion of Konoha with his mouth open. Unsurprisingly, the negotiator on the Kumo Shinobi side was Dodai. This smart man racked his brains and used all his words, but he never said anything to Shisui. No matter what advantage he takes in front of him, Zong Xian has already drawn a bottom line, and he only needs to hold on to this bottom line.

Negotiations were basically done by the Nara clan in the past, but this time Zongzhen ignored Nara and directly pushed Shisui to the shelves. Konoha had an absolute advantage this time, and to be honest, there was no need for any cleverness. Negotiation skills are all about overwhelming people with force.

"Are Kumo ninja still stalling for time?"

There is a desk under the window. Zong Xian is standing in front of the desk, holding a brush and splashing ink on the white paper.

"It's still the issue of Turtle Island. Tutai said that he can give some more training methods on the Thunder Chakra model, but Turtle Island will never be handed over... His attitude is still as determined as before. I don’t see any tendency to agree.”

Shisui reported the latest negotiation situation. He hesitated for two seconds and said, "The negotiations have been stuck here on Turtle Island in the past two days. Otherwise, the negotiations would have been concluded the day before yesterday. Zong Xian, Yun Ninja may really not Planning to give up on Turtle Island..."

"If they are unwilling to hand over Turtle Island, then don't even think about going back to the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails. Without the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki, what's the use of Turtle Island?" Zongxian laughed, "Shisui, be patient. , we are definitely not the ones who should be worried now. Could it be that you have forgotten Iwa Ninja? Since that old guy Onoki has no intention of joining us in flanking the Kumo Ninja army, he is probably going to steal the Cloud Ninja’s hometown. When the news comes back, I don’t believe the Kumo Ninja. It can continue to be delayed.”

said,

Zong Xian drew his hand, straightened his body, looked at the ink-stained picture of the flying eagle, and nodded with satisfaction. His painting skills were getting better and better day by day. Although he still did not get rid of the limitations of his craftsmanship, he was able to draw better than before. The flying eagle is a little more agile and ferocious.

He flicked the drawing paper with his fingers,

The next moment, the majestic flying eagle on the painting flapped its wings and flew out along the wide open window like an arrow from a string, swaying upward against the cold wind outside the window.

"Iwa Ninja?"

Shisui raised his eyebrows, "Can they be trusted?"

"Of course it's unbelievable!"

Zong Xian almost laughed out loud.

Looking back at Shisui, "That old guy Onoki is famous for being capricious. Talking about trust with Iwa-nin is too luxurious. At least as long as Onoki is still Tsuchikage, Iwa-nin will never be trustworthy. We and Iwa-nin Shinobu is only cooperating because of interests, but on the other hand, as long as the interests are consistent, cooperating with Iwa Ninja... I'm off topic, why is it related to Iwa Ninja?"

"By the way, Shisui, regarding the amber purification bottle, doesn't Kumo Shinobi have any objections?"

Zongxian changed the topic.

It doesn't matter what Iwa-nin is like. Konoha and Iwa-nin are just cooperating. Rather than worrying about Iwa-nin's situation, he is more concerned about the current negotiations with Kumo-nin, especially after discovering that Kumo-nin is always obsessed with Turtle Island. After the existence of the amber purification bottle was not mentioned at all, I felt a little curious in my heart.

"Hmm... As for the amber purification bottle, Tutai didn't say anything."

Shisui thought about it for a while and finally shook his head.

The long list of claims has been altered in many places, but the content about the amber purification bottle has always been retained.

"But there's nothing strange about this, right? It's just a ninja tool. Even if it's one of the ninja tools left by the Sage of Six Paths, there's nothing surprising about it." Shisui said, While looking at Zong Xian, he didn't quite understand why Zong Xian valued such a ninja tool so much.

Even if Sogen has a hobby of collecting ninja tools, Uchiha Uchiha Uchiha fans, Basho fans and Samehada fans are all very capable of beating. In comparison, this amber purification bottle is a bit... unimaginable , after much deliberation, in the end I can only say that Zongxian’s habit of collecting ninja tools is not picky.

Zong Xian was stunned for a moment by these words.

He was silent for a few seconds and then came to his senses. With the talent of [Knights will not die with bare hands], he can gain a lot of useful information from these ancient and mysterious ninja tools, but this is only for him. To the rest of the ninja world, ninja tools are just props.

If it is a sword-type ninja tool, it can be of great use in battle, and it will probably receive a certain amount of attention. But for a ninja tool like an amber purifier, you can't say it is useless, as long as it responds to the holder's request The ability to seal a target with just a cry is quite powerful.

but,

The amber bottle is too big.

Not only is it difficult to carry the belt for mobile combat, but it is probably impossible to store it in a scroll. In addition, ninjas are not fools. Even if they do not understand the mechanism of the amber purification bottle, they will not be so easy to take the bait. Otherwise, Yun Shinobu would not always use the amber bottle as a temporary container for tailed beasts.

At that time, the brothers Jinjiao and Silverjiao also abandoned the amber purification bottle and chose several other ninja tools.

This shows that

The amber purifying bottle may have great capabilities, but its practicality may be limited!

This thing is worth a lot of money in Zongxian's own opinion, but to Yun Ren, it may not be as good as the banana fan in Zongxian's hand. Moreover, the list of claims is very long, and the amber purifying bottle is just one of them. If he was singled out for a deal, Yun Ninja would not let go so easily.

Just like Orochimaru,

After seeing Zongxuan's desire for the Six Paths Ninja Tools, he did not intend to let go easily. In the end, Zongxian only took advantage of the information advantage. In fact, he planned to use Bai Zetsu's body to make a deal with Orochimaru. of.

"It was my fault, but it's a good thing."

Zong Xian frowned.

It is not a bad thing to be able to buy an amber purification bottle effortlessly. The twists and turns of the plot are fascinating, but as a person involved, probably few people like to encounter twists and turns. Smooth sailing is the common vision of most people. At this point, Zong Xian Also one of the most people.

----

As Zong Xian said, the most anxious person at this time is by no means Konoha, the Kumo ninja is the most uncomfortable. The negotiations have been fruitless, and the two-tailed jinchuriki and the eight-tailed jinchuriki have always been prisoners of Konoha. Ai thought more than once Instead, they simply refused to negotiate and withdrew their troops directly back to the village.

But this thought was extinguished by him in an instant.

Refuse to negotiate, not to mention whether Konoha will pursue, the loss of losing the two and eight tails alone is something he cannot bear. To be precise, Konoha is betting on Kirabi and Yukito as bargaining chips in negotiations. After getting to the negotiating table, no matter how he thought about it, he had no room to refuse negotiations.

If there is really no way to take back the two tailed beasts, Ai will certainly receive a lot of criticism, but it will not shake his throne as the Raikage. But the problem is that if he clearly has the opportunity to take back the tailed beasts, but he chooses to refuse to negotiate, then What is waiting for him is the violent attacks from the opposition. Those old fools in the elders may really be tempted to impeach him as a thunder shadow.

As the saying goes, every family has its own troubles. Not only is Konoha internally fighting, but the other villages also have their own troubles.

The Kumo ninja seemed to be united, but that was because Ai had inherited the legacy of his father, and at the same time had the full support of Rabbi Riki, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and his own strength was also top-notch in Kumo Hidden Village, so he could Target Konoha to unify the village.

But now the situation has changed. Kumo Ninja was defeated by Konoha, and it was a huge defeat!

After the defeat, Ai could fully imagine how the people in the village were disorganized. Once the people were not united, all kinds of suppressed conflicts and disputes would resurface again... Thinking of the boiling point in the village now Ai felt a headache when it turned against Yingtian.

"Dodai, Konoha still doesn't want to let go?"

"Yes."

Tutai stood in front of the table with a bitter expression.

Negotiating with the victors on behalf of the defeated... This task is really torturous. It has only been a few days, and the whole person looks like he has aged seven or eight years. The deep fatigue is only visible in his eyes. You can see it even if you are not blind!

"Uchiha Shisui's attitude is very tough. No matter what I say, he just insists on Turtle Island and refuses to let go... If there are no major changes, I'm afraid there is no way to make Konoha give up Turtle Island." He Looking at Ai, he said seriously.

The Yondaime Raikage had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Needless to say, the importance of Turtle Island. The real waterfall on Turtle Island has the possibility of helping a jinchuriki become a perfect jinchuriki. Although it was not until this generation that there were successful cases, things have always been the most difficult. From zero to one, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as there are successful cases, then we will continue to explore and improve according to the successful cases.

This was originally a treasure that would allow future generations of Cloud Ninjas to have perfect jinchūriki. It seems that it is of little use to Cloud Ninjas at the moment, but looking to the future, Turtle Island is still as important as a complete set of Six Paths Ninja Tools. On, at least in Ai's opinion, this is the case.

But the problem now is that Yun Ninja seems to be unable to keep this treasure!

"No chance at all?"

After being silent for a long time, Ai asked reluctantly.

"It's difficult! The most important thing is that we don't have any bargaining chips with Konoha." Todai looked sad and helpless. This was not a negotiation of equal status. Kumo Ninja, who was in a weak position, did not have many available bargaining chips. In his opinion, , if Konoha didn't want to force their Kumo ninja to jump over the wall, there would be no need for negotiation.

The so-called negotiation,

It's just a more peaceful and convenient way to dig out the flesh of Yun Ninja, but Yun Ninja has to accept this choice, otherwise Konoha will use a violent method to cut the flesh, and Yun Ninja will only suffer greater losses!

"Lord Raikage, the negotiation cannot be dragged on for a long time. Not to mention whether Konoha will be impatient. If it drags on for a long time, I am worried that there will be trouble in the village." Todai said softly, he is Ai's A staunch supporter, not just because Ai is the Sandaime's son.

In Tutai’s view,

Ai's decision-making in this war with Konoha was not too misplaced. The reason for the disastrous defeat was that he miscalculated Konoha... No, he underestimated the current situation. Without the power of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sogenu and Uchiha Shisui, and without Susanoo who was able to overwhelm the tailed beasts, the Kumo ninja would never have lost so miserably!

After all,

The Kumo ninja is still too weak.

He had also expected the turmoil that this tragic defeat would bring, but he believed that the more times this happened, the more important it was to stabilize Raikage-sama’s position, because there was no one who could replace him in the current Kumogakure Village. The choice of Lord Raikage, at least in Todai's eyes, is that.

"Tutai, do you want to say that we have to abandon Turtle Island?"

Ai stared at the platform.

Facing Lord Raikage's sharp gaze, Dodai looked at him openly, "I do think so. We lost this time. We are not as skilled as others. There is nothing to complain about. We deserve to be knocked to the bone and sucked out the marrow." , who made us lose? If we can’t save Turtle Island, then we can’t save it! Anyway, didn’t the village still live in the same way before there were perfect Jinchūriki?”

"What if Konoha cultivates a perfect Jinchuuriki?"

"Is that different from now? We can't defeat Konoha with or without the Perfect Jinchuuriki."

"Then... is it possible to start with the Fifth Hokage and ask Konoha to change someone to preside over the negotiations?"

"It's impossible, even if the Third Hokage is alive, he can't do it. I know you want to take advantage of the internal struggle in Konoha, but to be honest, I think the Fifth Hokage might want to get Turtle Island more than Uchiha Sogenuru. Uchiha The clan is too strong, and Kameshima might be able to help the Fifth Hokage train a perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki to fight against the Uchiha clan."

Ai frowned and remained silent for a long time.

According to Tutai's statement, Turtle Island cannot be saved no matter what, but...he is still not willing to give in!

At this moment,

The door to the room was knocked open with a bang, and Xi stumbled in. Ai frowned as his thoughts were interrupted, and the anger in his chest was uncontrollably ignited. However, the next second, the urgent information brought by Xi The anger in his heart was extinguished, and he intuitively drank a bucket of ice water in the cold weather for a moment, which was so cold that it went to his stomach.

The information is very short, only two sentences.

Yunyin Village is attacked!The attacker is an Iwa ninja!
