Start by meeting Xiaonan and save the goddess of the ninja world

Cloud Hidden Village, Raikage's office.

Ai hesitated as he held the letter sent by Kirigakure. What bad idea was he planning to form an alliance suddenly?

He thought of how Kirigakure had robbed them on the way, causing many ninjas to die tragically. Ai's eyes widened in anger, and he was about to tear up the letter, but then he remembered that he was already the Raikage, and gradually calmed down.

After thinking for a while, he didn't have any good ideas, so he said to the secretary beside him: "Call Tu Tai over, I have something to ask him."

"Yes." The secretary turned around and jumped, disappearing into the room.

A moment later, Dodai arrived and asked, "Lord Raikage, what do you want from me?"

Ai stood up, handed him the letter from Kirigakure, and said, "Take a look."

Tutai flipped through the contents of the letter: Kirigakure sent a team to visit Kumogakure, hoping that the two countries would form an alliance...

Tutai thought for a long time, there was too little content, it was difficult to infer what to do specifically, but the general direction was still clear, Kirigakure wanted to start a war, and together with Kumogakure!

So, he said: "The Kirigakure wants to form an alliance with us. They must want to start a war and drag us into sharing the risk!"

Ai nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct. Who do you think their target is?"

Dodai said directly: "If I were the Mizukage, my first target would be the gold mines of Sunagakure. But we can't attack them directly, as that would trigger a reaction from Konoha and we might get out of control."

"Therefore, the best way is to first attract other countries to attack Konoha, firmly attract them here and make them unable to be mobilized, and then send troops to Sunagakure, killing two birds with one stone!"

It has to be said that Dodai, as the great strategist of Kumogakure and the courtier of the Raikage, is indeed a man of deep thoughts. He saw through the plans of Kirigakure at a glance and saw through them like seeing through fire!

The Fourth Raikage Ai turned around and said with a smile: "As expected of you, you are much more comprehensive than I thought. So what do you think we should do?"

Tutai did not answer, but began to ask back, "Lord Raikage, what do you think of the current development of our Cloud Village?"

Ai replied: "Not bad. After a few years of recuperation, we have recovered our combat effectiveness and a number of talented ninjas have emerged. In particular, we have successfully developed technological weapons that are extremely powerful!"

Tutai continued to ask: "Then Lord Raikage, how do you think our village should develop in the future?"

Ai chuckled and said, "Tutai, you don't have to show off, just say whatever you want to say!"

Tsuchida did not blush, but remained calm and said, "Although there are many geniuses in our village at this stage, our development potential cannot compare to Konoha. They are better than any other village in this respect."

Ai nodded and sighed, "Yes, Konoha's foundation is far beyond ours. This is the pattern that was determined from the beginning and cannot be changed!"

Tsuchida continued to analyze, "The same is true for Iwagakure. They are also in urgent need of development, so war is also what they expect. The result is very clear. Going to war definitely has both risks and benefits. It all depends on what price Kirigakure offers."

Ai tapped the platform and said with a smile: "You are an old fox. The Hidden Cloud Village is lucky to have you!"

Tu Tai said calmly: "For the development of the village, these are what I should do."

The two discussed it in advance and were prepared for the upcoming Mist Hidden Team, and they were as steady as a rock!

In the afternoon, after three days of sailing, the team arrived safely at the Hidden Cloud Village and immediately began to visit. As an elite jonin, Qing was appointed as the leader of the team to conduct negotiations.

Raikage's office.

Ao, in his youth state, bowed and replied, "Lord Raikage, on behalf of the Mizukage, I extend my cordial greetings to you."

The Fourth Raikage Ai sat in his seat and responded, "No need for these false formalities. Your eyes should be the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, right?"

Qing nodded and said, "Yes, we stole this from the Konoha ninja."

Ai sneered and snorted, "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you directly and take away these eyes."

Qing was calm and composed, and replied, "Lord Raikage would never do that. After all, our demands are the same."

Dodai watched silently from the side. The Kirigakure Ninja was calm and composed. It looked like it would be a difficult negotiation!

Ai asked bluntly: "Since you want to form an alliance with us, where are your bargaining chips?"

The Kirigakure team was clearly prepared, and Qing replied, "Of course we can negotiate, but we need to share the risk."

Tutai nodded, and the specific details would then need to be discussed at the negotiation table.

Ai waved his hand and said, "Okay, then take them down and we'll talk in detail tomorrow."

The Kirigakure team was placed in a guesthouse, awaiting negotiations the next day.

Ai looked at Tutai and asked, "What do you think our chances of winning this time if we form an alliance and go to war are?"

Dodai smiled and said, "Sir, after we attack Konoha, we only need to attract Iwagakure, and they will definitely attack. Then, like Kirigakure, we will send troops to invade Sunagakure and seize the gold mine."

"We just need to hold off Konoha's counterattack in the early stages and pretend to do something. When Kirigakure and Iwagakure return, they will surely launch a massive attack. We can act accordingly!"

Ai smiled, but suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "How should we deal with the one who can use Wood Release?"

Danzo's Wood Release is very troublesome. Although it cannot compare with the first Hokage, the appearance of this power is shocking enough. We must find a way to solve it!

Dodai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Raikage-sama. I can assure you that Danzo will not take action. His ambition is expanding very quickly. He will not be satisfied with this and will never reveal his true strength so quickly!"

As Danzo's strength grew, the "Root Organization" developed rapidly and has reached a bottleneck period. It's not just about funding, talent, and technology... His layout has reached a point of madness, and he will never expose his huge strength to Konoha.

Dodai once sent spy ninjas to investigate the development of Root. He was frightened by the huge organization, so he made this inference.

Ai nodded. When facing Wood Release, one must be fully prepared and must not be caught off guard like last time!

The next day, in the negotiation room.

Qing submitted the content of the alliance and the chips to be paid.

Tutai turned over and saw the bargaining chip "10 tons of gold", and he was immediately happy. This was obtained by robbing them, and now it was used as a bargaining chip. It was really interesting.

A Kumogakure ninja shouted, "This amount of supplies is not enough, at least 100 tons!"

The Kirigakure Ninja looked calm and replied: "We don't have gold, these supplies are our greatest sincerity!"

A Kumogakure ninja sneered, "Oh! So you are not going to rob the Sand Village's gold mine?"

Got caught off guard! This was normal. Every village had many talented people. It wasn't difficult to guess their general plan.

The Kirigakure ninja turned around and said, "100 tons is too much, 30 tons at most."

The Kumogakure ninja waved his hand and replied, "70 tons!"

……

The two sides went back and forth, constantly pulling each other, and finally confirmed the covenant:

Kirigakure paid Kumogakure 50 tons of gold, with 10 tons paid in advance and the rest paid after the robbery was completed.

The Hidden Mist Village needs to send 1000 ninjas to assist the Hidden Cloud Village in attacking Konoha.

When Kirigakure sends out its troops, the plan will begin. After attacking Konoha, Kumogakure will mobilize Iwagakure to also invade Konoha to relieve the pressure.

The two parties finalized the covenant, made two copies, and went on to prepare.

Ai looked at the covenant in his hand and the agreed plan, laughed and said, "This time, we must avenge our previous shame!"

A week later, the gold nuggets from Kirigakure were delivered to Kumogakure Village, and the alliance officially came into effect.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village are stepping up their war preparations. The dark clouds hanging over the ninja world are becoming increasingly gloomy, waiting for the day when they will be triggered and burst forth suddenly!

……

PS: I saw the question about vests yesterday, and some people thought it was self-greening.

In fact, this is just Su Zheng's clone, with different names given to him in order to carry out the mission.

Before writing this book, I had been thinking about how to take down all the female ninjas and still develop the plot intact. The vest was the best way I could think of, which could satisfy all the emotional scenes and take into account the development of the plot.

If this still doesn't seem right to you, I can only apologize.
