Yu Zhuanjin gave a few brief instructions and then rode away on Fu Fu's back. …… The daimyo's residence is a city. There were dozens of warriors with swords in front of the city, responsible for open guard. There are also ninjas watching in the dark. Miozu came to the front of the city gate openly and showed the family emblems of the three major families, Hozuki, Kaguya and Mizunotsuki, to the samurai guarding the gate to explain his purpose. The ninja forces of the Water Country are unified, and regardless of the fact that Yuzan has already widely publicized it, even if it is concealed, it will never be hidden from the daimyo's intelligence department. When the samurai hurriedly delivered the news to the daimyo, it didn't take long for Go-no-Tsu to be welcomed into the city. The journey was smooth and unobstructed, although Yu Zhuanjin could clearly feel the gazes in the dark. And several powerful auras.
Although they have not reached the level of "Kage", there are still many elite jonin. "Nice to meet you. My name is Mizotsu, and I am representing the Hidden Mist Village in negotiations with the Daimyo of the Land of Water." Sitting on the tatami in the room, Yuzenjin looked at the daimyo in front of him. The plump figure, with the emblem of the Water Country on his head, has a frivolous but not distracted look in his eyes. - [Real name: Ikemino Momonosuke (N)] 【Level: 7】 - Although I have practiced chakra, I don't have the talent for it. Yu Zhuanjin could easily see through his background. "I know that you, a bunch of crude ninjas, have been waging war in my country for so many years. We were unified not long ago. What is the reason for your petition this time?" The Daimyo of the Land of Water spoke with disdain, not taking Yuzenjin seriously at all. Ninjas? Most of them are just a bunch of ragtag bunches. There is actually not much difference between ordinary Genin and ordinary samurai. The ninjutsu performed by the Genin is easy for the samurai to dodge, especially those that require hand seals. On the contrary, sword techniques do not require such complexity. Draw the sword, and then strike again. Insert a charging move in the middle. It is enough to kill the target. That is to say, some of the ninjutsu had strange abilities, otherwise he would have defeated those unruly ninjas long ago.
To be in charge of a country, there were hundreds of thousands of civilians, thousands of samurai, tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, and not a small number of recruited ninjas. The Daimyo of the Land of Water will not be afraid of those ninjas. Even clan leader-level ninjas like Hozuki Gengetsu, Kaguya Nagahide and Mizunotsuki Ryo can be killed by taking human lives! Although the damage would be difficult to estimate, once their lives are endangered, everyone would be doomed and no one would be able to escape death. Ignoring the sarcastic words of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, Yuzan said directly: "For what our ninjas have done for a long time, I apologize to the civilians and Daimyo of the Land of Water, and I promise that I will not make such mistakes again in the future." "Hehe, let's get straight to the point. What do you want? What can I get? If you ninjas didn't have something to do, why would you come to me specifically?" The Daimyo of the Land of Water asked bluntly. "From now on, we will provide the Water Country with armed forces to defend against the threats from the Fire Country and the Lightning Country's ninja forces. In exchange..." Yu Zhuanjin did not hide it and continued: "We need your material support." "The Water Nation is located in the sea. Even without you, it would be impossible for the Fire Nation and the Lightning Nation to launch a large-scale attack. We have an army that is enough to stop them." The Daimyo of the Land of Water wanted Yuzun to be more practical, so he asked, "What is the overall strength of your Kirigakure? I don't know yet." "Although it cannot be compared with Konoha, it is better than the Cloud Village, Sand Village and Rock Village." Yuzhuanjin still has some confidence in this. "But compared to the Fire Nation, the Earth Nation and other big nations, don't you think the Water Nation is a little small? I don't need your huge power." The Daimyo of the Land of Water bared his fangs and revealed his intentions. Yuzhongjin understood that the other party wanted the Hidden Mist Village to expand the territory of the Water Country. To be honest, in terms of national standards, the Water Kingdom is just a small country, less than one-fifth the size of any major country. However, due to its special geographical location, it is rarely affected by wars on the mainland, which is why it has achieved relatively stable development and has a population base. Although conflicts often break out in the Water Kingdom and its surrounding areas, they are nothing compared to the wars on the mainland. "If it is a small country nearby, I can incorporate it into the territory of the Land of Water on behalf of the daimyo." Yuzhongjin put forward her conditions. The surrounding small countries have been completely changed by the rebellious ninjas from the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Some daimyo have died, a few have heirs to continue the throne, but more have become ownerless lands, and the "daimyo" of some small countries are simply the ninja families of the Hidden Mist Village. Yuzhuanjin also hopes that these small countries can be integrated, as being too fragmented is not conducive to management. As for the big names who rule small countries? Just a few words, some benefits, and they will basically give up. After all, the situation is so clear that anyone with eyesight should be able to judge it clearly. “We can do that kind of thing ourselves.” The Daimyo of the Land of Water took out a map, pointed to an area east of the Land of Water, and continued, "Here, here! The Land of Snow in the Far East." The Snow Country is located on the easternmost side of the Naruto world. It is rumored to be the birthplace of the Ice Release Mizunoe clan. The country's territory is equivalent to that of the Water Country.
Although they are on the same side of the sea, the Snow Country has a clear ruling power and is more stable than the Water Country. If you want to incorporate it into the territory, you must start a war. Of course, it was impossible for Yuzenjin to agree to the ridiculous conditions of the Daimyo of the Land of Water. "If you solve the small countries around you, I can give you material assistance. If you solve the Snow Country, I think we can have long-term cooperation." Said the Daimyo of the Land of Water. Yuzuru looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and she saw greed in the latter's black eyes. An idea that runs counter to peace. "Let me go back and communicate with the people in the village." Yu Zhuanjin did not directly reject the other party, but instead used a delaying tactic. "I look forward to your response." The Daimyo of the Water Country seemed to be sure of victory. …… The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village. "How are the discussions going with the daimyo?" When Yuzhongjin came back, Mizunotsuki stepped forward and asked. "It's not good. He is trying to use us as a sword, not a shield. If you want material assistance, you must attack other countries. This is the condition of the daimyo." Yuzhongjin said truthfully. "Is there no other way?" Mizunotsuki asked coldly. "You can, but it's not necessary." Miozu had already made up her mind. Originally, she wanted to see the temperament of the Daimyo of Water Country and decide whether to retain the status of Daimyo. It seems that is no longer necessary now. The meeting was held, and Bai Lian sat at the main seat as the leader and listened to the ideas put forward by Yuzhuanjin. "My proposal is to first incorporate the small countries in the surrounding seas into the territory of the Land of Water, expand our scope of governance, and at the same time obtain a batch of material assistance from the daimyo, and use this batch of materials to build a new village." Yuzhongjin expressed his thoughts in parliament. "What about the follow-up? Without the material assistance from the Daimyo, it will be difficult to maintain the village even if we build it, so do we have to declare war on the Snow Country?" Gui Deng Huan Yue crossed his arms and thought. "No, this batch of aid is enough." Yuzhongjin shook his head in denial and continued, "The only project that consumes the most materials at the moment is the construction of the village. Once the village is completed, our demand for materials will be greatly reduced. The materials from the daimyo can help us get through the first stage of trouble. Later, as long as we tighten up our resources a little, we can still make it until the autumn harvest."
"That will take half a year..." Gui Deng Huan Yue held his forehead with his hand and said, "Even if we can make it until the autumn harvest, this amount of food is not enough for us." It's not that there is no grain in the Water Kingdom, but the soil on the islands surrounded by the sea contains a lot of salt and alkali, making it difficult for crops to grow or even impossible to survive, so the harvest has always been very low. "Don't worry, I have a solution." Who is she, Yuzhongjin? After all, she is called the Inari Goddess, so this kind of question is not a problem at all! Regardless of the fact that the Hidden Mist Village chose to be located in the central area of the Land of Water, occupying the best location, her power "Harvest" is not just for show. After traveling across so many worlds, there was finally a place where she could use her special abilities. "Once we receive the supplies from the daimyo, we will announce the establishment of the Hidden Mist Village. At the same time, we will make public the name of the Kage! And show the Hidden Mist Village's permanent neutral international status." Yu Zhuanjin waved his hand and said all this. "Permanent neutrality?" Bai Lian kept repeating this word. "That's right. As long as we occupy this label, we can effectively prevent the other Kage-level ninja villages from targeting us." Yuzhuanjin affirmed. "That daimyo will definitely be pissed off." Hozuki Gengetsu could already imagine the furious look on the Daimyo of the Land of Water's face after being "betrayed". Once permanent neutrality is declared and a country attacks other countries at will, it will be besieged by many countries. Even a famous person needs to think carefully. Volume 176 Water Shadow Ninja (The Hidden Mist Village): Chapter 4 Chapter SSR Yatogami [K] …… The meeting is over, the action begins. Ninja families from small countries in the surrounding seas sent representatives to negotiate with the daimyo in the clan's area, and the whole process went smoothly. Without the support of the ninjas, the samurai were also in a lack of successors. The daimyo of these small countries were not as well-established as the Water Kingdom. In addition, they had been frequently harassed by the rebellious ninjas of the other two major countries in recent years and were gradually unable to support themselves. Rather than having nominal ruling power, he directly announced his abdication on the premise that the Hidden Mist Village promised to give the daimyo property as a "trade". Not to mention that the ninja in charge of the negotiations also made it clear that if they refused, they would be attacked by the Water Country. Intimidation and inducement are very useful methods at any time. In just seven days, dozens of documents indicating abdication fell into the hands of Yuzenjin, who then delivered them to the residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Water. The daimyo Ikemi Momonosuke was naturally very happy about this. After all, he expanded the land area of the Water Kingdom by more than half without sending a single soldier. Such achievements are even greater than those of our ancestors.
Keeping his promise, the daimyo ordered the samurai to provide a sum of supplies for the Hidden Mist Village, and then asked Yuzenjin: "Have you come to a conclusion on the matter of the Snow Country?" "We still need to discuss it. The journey is long and we need to increase the budget if we want to take action. We don't have enough resources to handle this matter at the moment. Please forgive us, sir." Yuzhuanjin still did not give a clear reply. But when the daimyo heard this, it meant "We want to attack but we don't have enough resources", so he signaled with his eyes to the samurai beside him to increase the supplies originally planned to be provided as replenishment. The daimyo was extremely confident and believed that he had grasped the lifeline of the Hidden Mist Village.
