Chapter 660 Negotiation(1/2)
The Kingdom of Rain, the City of Six Paths.
After Orochimaru led the team into the city, they were quickly received by the Ninja Sect.
After all, the Ninja Sect is the official ninja force of the Land of Rain. Before Orochimaru and the others came, Sarutobi Hiruzen had contacted the Ninja Sect and expressed his intention to solve the problem through negotiation.
However, the Konoha ninjas on the negotiation team did not relax.
They knew that their demands were a bit too much for the Ninja Sect, and their purpose meant that this negotiation would not be easy.
Considering that Orochimaru and the others were tired from traveling long distances, Ninja first took them to the reception area to rest and explained the specific time of the negotiation meeting.
After resting for a while, Orochimaru called the members of the negotiation team together for a meeting to re-emphasize some things that needed attention.
"The attitude must be tough and show the momentum of our strongest ninja village." Orochimaru said.
If you want Soyousuke to agree to the conditions, you must put enough pressure on him.
So even if in fact Konoha cannot easily send troops, they still have to show the momentum that if you don't agree, I will directly send large troops to kill you.
"I wonder if the Ninja sect in its original history was destroyed for this reason." Zhishui thought in his mind.
From the history that Yamato knows in the future, in addition to Mu Yue's death, there are three major events worth noting: the Nine-Tails Rebellion that caused heavy losses to Konoha, the cruel Uchiha genocide, and the lawless evil Akatsuki who brought disaster to the ninja world.
organize.
According to their calculations, Mu Yue's death should have been changed.
For the remaining three things, their thoughts are that they should try their best to change them if they can, so that they will have fewer regrets in the future.
The Night of the Kyuubi and the Uchiha genocide, Shisui and the others all had ideas and were taking action, but the evil Akatsuki organization couldn't think of how to change it, and they had no ability to change it for the time being.
There are many reasons. One of the very practical reasons is that many things are inconvenient if you are not in the same country.
In addition, this matter is extremely complicated.
Before the founding of the Ninja sect, Yahiko and the others established the Akatsuki organization and worked for peace in the Land of Rain. The Akatsuki organization during this period was undoubtedly a kind-hearted ninja organization.
After the establishment of the Ninja Sect, Yahiko Nagato became a disciple of Soyousuke, and all the Akatsuki organization joined the Ninja sect. The Kingdom of Rain temporarily no longer has the Akatsuki ninja organization as a ninja organization. This is the current reality.
In the future where Naruto and the others live, the Akatsuki organization is a completely evil ninja organization that not only robs tailed beasts, but also kills people wantonly.
Shisui and the others speculated based on the known information that the birth of the evil Akatsuki organization in later generations was most likely caused by the collapse of the Ninja Sect during its development.
But Shisui and the others are just a few Konoha Jonin with some strength now, and they have no ability to influence the existence and demise of ninja forces like the Ninja Sect.
What's even more terrible is that it is Konoha that is in conflict with the Ninja Sect.
As Konoha ninjas, don't they help Konoha to stand on the side of the Ninja Sect?
The mission came suddenly, and Shisui didn't even have time to discuss it with Kakashi and the others before he was sent to the Land of Rain.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ninja ninja arrived at the reception desk on time and took the Konoha negotiation team to the Ninja meeting room.
After arriving at the building, the Ninja negotiation team that had completed their assembly met the Konoha negotiation team.
The Ninja who led the way stopped and gave a brief introduction to the Ninja Negotiation Team.
Orochimaru took this opportunity to look at the ninjas of the Ninja Negotiation Team.
The leader is Kakuzu, the second-in-command of the Ninja Sect.
Generally, leaders would not personally participate in such negotiations, and having Kakuzu participate is enough to show that the Ninja Sect attaches great importance to this matter.
In addition to Kakuzu, Orochimaru discovered that Nagato, the number one genius in the ninja world, was also there.
"It's better to meet him than to be famous. He is indeed a ninja who was given the title of Sannin by Hanzo. He has extraordinary aura." Kakuzu said with a smile.
"No way, you can't compare to Kakuzu-senpai. When you became famous in the ninja world, you had not yet completed your studies at the ninja school. It is an unexpected blessing to be able to talk with you today." Orochimaru mocked back calmly.
If it was Hanzo before, then what Kakuzu said could be considered a compliment.
But later Hanzo betrayed his trust and was defeated by Sosuke again, and now he is still in the Land of Rain, which is obviously a mockery of the three of them for not defeating Hanzo back then.
So Orochimaru naturally didn't praise him for his early fame, but scolded him for being an old man.
Kakuzu was not annoyed and walked towards the conference room with a calm expression.
Orochimaru didn't say anything more and led the team into the conference room.
Shisui originally wanted to sit in the middle of the long side of the conference table. He was too young and had little qualifications.
Before he could walk over, Orochimaru stopped him and placed him on his left side.
Although Shisui was not very clear about Orochimaru's intention, he still sat down as ordered. After all, Orochimaru was the captain.
"According to our investigation, our former Hokage assistant of Konoha was killed by Sosuke, the leader of the Noble Sect, during a friendly visit to the Rain Ninja Village. Does the Ninja Sect want to start a war with Konoha?" Orochimaru struck preemptively,
He asked with a cold face.
Although Shimura Danzo went to the Rain Ninja Village on his own initiative, in negotiations, he had to say something that was beneficial to him.
From the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to resolve the problem through negotiation, Shimura Danzo was no longer acting privately, but a "friendly visit" endorsed by Konoha officials.
Kakuzu almost laughed out loud when he heard Orochimaru's words, so he carried out the assassination in a friendly manner, right?
"So it turns out that carrying out an assassination mission in Konoha is also a friendly visit? This is the first time I know about this." Kakuzu smiled and his expression gradually turned serious.
"You in Konoha don't know why Shimura Danzo was killed? He tried to assassinate our leader. Fortunately, our leader was more skilled and killed Shimura Danzo, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Whether the Ninja sect goes to war with Konoha or not depends on Konoha!"
If Kakuzu was present, he would definitely stop Soyousuke from killing Shimura Danzo, but now that the matter has come to this, and Soyousuke also said that he has the strength to protect the ninja, then of course he doesn't need to give Konoha face, and that's it.
Orochimaru frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.
The attitude of the Ninja Sect is too tough, almost ridiculously tough.
A ninja organization with only a few hundred ninjas. Even if you include the Rain Ninja Village, the number of ninjas would not exceed 2,000. How could you have the courage to challenge a behemoth like Konoha?
Not only can the number of ninjas in Konoha be able to crush the Ninja Sect, but the quality of the ninjas is also far superior to that of a small force like the Ninja Sect. It can be said that they are crushed in all aspects.
Orochimaru was thinking rapidly, and Kakuzu's tougher attitude than expected disrupted his negotiation plan.
He originally wanted to use his strength to overwhelm others and force the Ninja clan and Soyousuke to submit, but Kakuzu's performance seemed to be that he was not afraid of going to war with Konoha.
This is difficult to do, because Orochimaru cannot really declare war on the Ninja Sect on behalf of Konoha. He is not qualified, and his mission does not allow him to do so.
"Oh, it seems that the Ninja Sect has been prepared for a long time." Orochimaru did not remain silent while thinking.
Silence at this time means cowardice. Even if the negotiation breaks down, you must not be cowardly.
"Konoha is already prepared, right? Our ninja sect has been the victim of this matter from beginning to end." Kakuzu sneered.
Orochimaru's brows furrowed even more.
"Really, our current Hokage Assistant Hanyu Mozuki of Konoha witnessed Sosuke trying his best to kill Shimura Danzo, as if he was worried about leaving anyone alive."
Nagato:……
This will be a bit of torture for him in a sense.
"If you continue to distort the facts and evade, there will be no need to continue today's negotiations." Kakuzu vaguely sensed Orochimaru's bottom line.
Although Orochimaru said harsh words, but with Kakuzu's tough attitude, Orochimaru has not turned against him yet. It is very likely that Orochimaru does not want to start a war.
"If the Ninja clan continues to be so insincere, there is really no need to continue the negotiation. I will truthfully report the Ninja clan's attitude to the Hokage." Orochimaru said calmly.
"Konoha is willing to give opportunities to neutral organizations like the Ninja Sect, but Konoha will not always give opportunities."
The Ninja sect's attitude was really weird, and Orochimaru estimated that this mission would most likely fail.
"Now that it's all said and done, let's stop beating around the bush and be honest." Seeing that Orochimaru was about to break the pot, Kakuzu decided to ask clearly.
"Since you Konoha sent people to negotiate first, you probably don't want a war. What exactly do you want? Let's make it clear directly."
"A life is worth a life. If Soyousuke commits suicide, Konoha will just pretend it didn't happen." Orochimaru thought for a moment and said the request directly.
With Kakuzu's attitude, normal negotiations are impossible. If we don't talk about it, there will be no chance to talk about it.
Whoosh!!
A terrifying aura erupted from Nagato, and the powerful chakra set off a strong wind that blew away all the information on the negotiation table.
Although he knew that even if "Soyousuke" committed suicide, Mu Yue would be fine, Nagato still had an unknown fire in his heart.
This reminded him of the time when the Ninja Sect was founded and he was trapped and killed by Hanzo.
At that time, Hanzo was aloof and tried to use the ninja sect as a threat to make Muyue commit suicide.
At that time, Nagato could not control the ability of the Samsara Eye and was not very strong. He still cannot forget the feeling of powerlessness when Mu Yue was injured trying to save him.
Now Orochimaru actually once again tried to force Mozuki to commit suicide. How could Nagato not be angry?
"It's much stronger than before."
Shisui regarded Nagato as an imaginary enemy and found that even if he used the Mangekyō Sharingan, it would be difficult for him to defeat Nagato.
Because his Tsukuyomi may not have a good effect on Nagato, whose eyes are the legendary eyes of an immortal.
"What a strong chakra." Orochimaru was surprised. He actually felt a powerful threat in the young man Nagato.
Who is he? He is one of the top fighters in Konoha. How old is Nagato? Fifteen years old? Or sixteen?
It was so terrifying that Orochimaru could only use this word to describe Nagato's ninja talents.
