Tsunade, you're really drunk!

"deal……"

"In that case, then you should tell me the content of the deal first. You can't just say nothing and let me agree to it first."

"If you, Konoha, sincerely want to make a deal or alliance with Nadeshiko Village, then I think there is no reason for me to refuse."

Fuzi Tingxiang was the first to express her attitude, but she also made her words very clear.

It's fine if you, Konoha, want to trade with Nadeshiko Village, but don't think about getting something for nothing. You have to at least give them some actual benefits.

On the way here, Qianye had already roughly deduced the current situation of Fushiko Village through chatting with Shizuka.

The village is located at the border of the Kingdom of Soup and the Kingdom of Iron, but is closer to the Kingdom of Soup. The village is not big, with only four or five thousand people, but there are only women in the village without exception, which can be called a country of women.

The most outrageous thing is that everyone in Nadeshiko Village is a soldier. Anyone who can extract chakra will become a ninja. Even women who do not have ninja talent will engage in production and other work in the village.

In order to maintain the status quo of only women in the village, the entire village is in a closed-door state. Only a very small number of caravans can pass after passing inspection and permission, and the time they are allowed to stay in the village is also very limited.

This resulted in the lives of everyone in Nadeshiko Village being extremely backward compared to other places in the ninja world, but it was also because of this highly centralized and unified decision-making that they were able to gain a small area between the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Iron.

Even during the several Ninja World Wars, the Hidden Cloud Village didn't bother to care about this place. Firstly, there were no rare resources here, and secondly, there were no powerful ninjutsu. Moreover, it was right next to the Iron Country, a famous neutral country in the Ninja World.

Provoking the Nadeshiko Village is like provoking a group of lunatics. Even if they challenged each other in a one-on-one duel, if they lost, their seeds would be taken away. If they won, the ninjas who went out to fight might not be able to control themselves, and they might also leave their seeds behind...

This has resulted in the Fushiko Village and the other surrounding countries being in a delicate balance.

"Senior Tingxiang, what I'm going to say next may be a little harsh, but please don't mind. After all, if you don't even have the ability to face the village's problems objectively."

"Then the deal I envisioned is nothing but a joke."

"But don't worry, whether the deal is concluded or not, we in Konoha will cure your hidden disease, even if it means that we in Konoha will become friends with your Nadeshiko Village."

"After all, I don't want to hurt the friendship between you and Jiraiya. At least we can still be friends even if the deal doesn't work out. What do you think?"

The flawless words laid the groundwork for all the prerequisites, and even Fuzi Tingxiang couldn't help but smile after hearing it.

After all, according to previous statements, whether Konoha would cure her hidden illness was part of the transaction, similar to a buy one get one free deal.

But now, it has become like a "trial pack" before purchasing a product. If you are not satisfied, you can return it.

After learning that her life was no longer in danger, Tingxiang's mood naturally improved a lot. She also had a better understanding of Uchiha Kina in front of her. He was not only powerful, but also a very "cunning" and smart ninja.

After hearing this, Shizuka, who was standing by, showed no sign of concealing her joy at all and simply put her arm around Tingxiang's arm and started swinging around.

"Great, Master, your hidden disease has finally been cured!"

"Okay, stop making trouble. We are talking about serious business now. Just be quiet." Tingxiang smiled and tapped Shizuka's head.

When Jiraiya saw this scene, a burden was lifted from his heart. After all, he didn't want to watch his good friend die of illness while being unable to do anything. Moreover, in Jiraiya's eyes, Fushiko Tingxiang was still a beautiful woman with some charm.

After this conversation, the atmosphere between the few people eased, and Qianye began to formally propose the content of the transaction he wanted to make with the Nadeshiko Village on behalf of Konoha.

"Senior Tingxiang, your Nadeshiko Village is an independent ninja village that is not even on the scale of a country. For so many years, relying on its long-standing traditions, it has maintained its position between the Iron Country and the Hot Spring Country. This is indeed a great thing."

"But compared to the situation in Nadeshiko Village after the end of the Warring States Period, merchants used to be free from any restrictions from any country, and merchants from all countries could go to various parts of the Ninja World to trade."

"But now, especially when friction arises between major powers, Nadeshiko Village will be forced to stop trading routes and even have difficulty maintaining daily life."

"After all, the total population of the entire village is only about four or five thousand people, including the elderly and children, but there are nearly two thousand ninjas."

"On average, one ordinary person has to support one ninja. This population structure is extremely unreasonable and unhealthy. Don't you think so?"

Qianye's words came out one after another, and Jiraiya's face gradually collapsed. He didn't know how Qianye dared to say these words so bluntly. Didn't he know that for this strong woman in front of him, Nadeshiko Village was her biggest minefield! ?

Shizuka, who was standing by, was confused. She only noticed that Qianye said that ordinary people in Fushiko Village had a hard time. Combined with her memories of the village, she subconsciously nodded and echoed him twice.

"Yes, the fellows in the village are working very hard to make the village a better place. We, as women ninjas, will definitely protect them!"

But Fuzi Tingxiang's face, which had just been smiling, suddenly fell at this moment. Her right hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, and the wood made a "crackling" sound, but she still tried her best to maintain the smile on her face.

"Well, what you said does make sense. What about the content of the deal?"

"I am well aware of the problems in our village, so I won't bother you to explain them. You should just focus on the main points."

Seeing that Fuzi Tingxiang could still maintain a "peaceful" mentality, Qianye breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party could accept this level of criticism, she would most likely accept the next deal, and there was no need to continue testing her.

"I'm sure you've heard that we in Konoha established the Ninja Association not long ago."

"Although the Ninja Association was jointly established by Konoha, Kumogakure, Kazegakure, Iwagakure, Mistgakure, and Amegakure, only the Fire Nation and the Rain Nation support the village's decision."

"In order to further enhance the influence of the Ninja Association, we need more villages to join the association. Your Nadeshiko Village is much stronger than other small countries' villages in terms of both the number of ninjas and the strength of ninjas."

"When it was first established, I wanted to send someone to invite Nadeshiko Village to join the Ninja Association, but due to the tradition of Nadeshiko Village, I did not send anyone."

"I wonder what you think, Senior Tingxiang? Are you willing to join the Ninja Association?"
