"Honey, honey~ Honey, I miss you so much~" Uchiha Owl pouted and kissed Tsunade's cheek like a fool.
This amused Tsunade. "You guy, you've only been away for 1 day, why are you so annoying!"
"It feels like three years since we last met, hehe." Uchiha Xiao didn't feel disgusted or embarrassed at all.
Tsunade touched his face and pinched it, "You're the only one who talks sweetly!"
Uchiha Xiao smiled foolishly and kissed Tsunade on the face from time to time. Alas, being pregnant is so bad! There are too many things I can't do.
Uchiha Xiao sighed in his heart.
Sand Hidden Village
Grandma Chiyo brought the Sand Village's ninja troops back to the village. Fengyinglin and Elder Ebizo were already waiting at the village entrance.
The clan leaders of each family came with them. When Grandma Qiandai approached, Feng Yinglin stepped forward and said, "Mother, you must have come a long way."
Chiyo shook her head and said, "This time, our Sand Village hardly took any action. It was Konoha who helped us deal with it."
Feng Yinglin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, what should we do to thank Konoha?" He looked at the ninjas behind Chiyo, and there was almost no loss.
Chiyo glanced at her. What was she thanking him for? Ye Cang had already given it to Konoha! But she still had to pretend on the surface.
"I suggest that Lord Kazekage write them a letter of thanks to express his gratitude and propose a permanent alliance with Konoha!" Ebizo smiled.
Who knew that Fengying and Chiyo both gave him a strange look, and finally Fengying smiled and said, "It should be so, it should be so! How about letting Elder Ebizo write it for us?"
Chiyo gritted her teeth. Could she still keep this brother of hers? Was he from Konoha or Sunagakure?
Ebizo didn't care, but nodded and said, "I will!" The family ninja couldn't help but sigh. If Lord Ebizo was not Lord Chiyo's younger brother, his political sense would be so amazing.
It is true that Ebizo performed well on the battlefield, commanded well, and came up with many strategies, but he was still far from being a master in politics.
Lin organized the army to enter the village and encouraged and comforted the ninjas. The patriarchs of various families couldn't help but nod their heads, saying that Lin was an excellent kid.
After finishing the work with the ninja unit, Chiyo called her son and younger brother.
"Do you know that Ye Cang is now Konoha's Four-Tails Jinchuriki?" Chiyo's voice was low and hoarse.
Ebizo widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief. Although Lin was a little stunned, he quickly regained his composure.
"So, what mother meant was..." Lin narrowed his eyes, and at the same time felt a little moved.
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, there are only nine such beings in the entire ninja world. Each one of them can be used as the village's trump card, like a nuclear weapon!
If Ye Cang can be brought back, the Sand Village will suddenly have confidence!
Chiyo shook her head with a complicated expression, "Don't think about those unrealistic things. I already sent Ye Cang to marry, and now he is Konoha's Four-Tails Jinchuriki. You can't take him back if you don't."
"Even if we can bring him back, who will stop Uchiha Owl when he gets angry?" Chiyo sighed.
Lin was stunned, and finally sighed. After all, it was the result of being inferior to others in strength. What else could he do? Hold it in!
"However, my son, don't be discouraged. There is another piece of news. Konoha is willing to trade with the Sand Village. The problem of lack of water and food resources will be solved in the future." Chiyo smiled when she said this.
"That's great! Mother!" Lin smiled. Although there was no way to bring back the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, if the water and food problems could be solved, the Sand Village could develop its population, and the population lost in this battle could be replenished.
Ebizo also nodded. As a native of Sand Village, this news made him very excited.
Chiyo said, "Don't be happy too soon. Although Uchiha Xiao agreed to trade, the price has not been decided yet." Her words immediately brought the two back to reality.
Chapter 402 What the hell~
Chiyo's talk about the trade made Lin and Ebizo yearn for it, even though Uchiha Xiao had not yet proposed a price, saying that they would discuss it after returning to the village.
The three of them agreed that it wasn't a big deal. How much more expensive could Konoha's prices be? Could they even be more expensive than the merchants in Sand Village? Selling a bottle of water for 100 taels was sheer rip-off!
However, the villagers of Sand Village had no choice but to buy it. A large amount of gold flowed into the hands of the nobles and daimyo of the Wind Country. The daimyo bought water from other countries at low prices and then sold it to their own country.
Those aristocrats don’t care about the life and death of you common people. They only care about whether their interests are affected.
Chiyo and the others had no choice but to endure it all silently. Now, Uchiha Owl said that Konoha was willing to trade with them.
This news solved a big problem for them!
There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and the ninjas of Sand Village are not loyal to the village.
Ninjas who have connections with the daimyo have already reported to the daimyo's mansion.
The Daimyo of the Wind Country sat at the main seat, looking at the Sand Ninja report below. He frowned, "Are you sure what you said is true? That Uchiha Owl said he wanted to open a trade with the Sand Village?"
"Every word is true, Daimyo, the deadline is one week later! Daimyo, this Uchiha Oshige has seriously hindered the development of our Wind Country!" The ninja knelt on the ground and said loyally.
The Daimyo of Wind Country nodded and waved his hand. "Alright, I understand. You can go down first. By the way, the guards will go get him 100 boxes of water and 30,000 loaves of bread."
"Yes!" the guard said in a deep voice.
"Thank you very much, Daimyo. Thank you very much, Daimyo. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." The ninja laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
He happily went down with the guards to get supplies. Those supplies were enough for him and his family to live for two or even three years.
The Daimyo of the Wind Country chuckled, but after the ninja and the guards left, his expression changed and he was furious. "Everyone, Konoha Village is provoking me. He doesn't even take me, the Daimyo, seriously!"
Staff 1: "This Konoha Village Hokage, Uchiha Owl, is truly lawless. Eight years ago, he plundered the treasury of the Land of Earth Daimyo and trampled on the Land of Earth Daimyo's face!"
"I didn't expect that after so many years, you would actually want to make a move on my Wind Country. This is simply too much!"
"Daimyo, I suggest ordering the Sand Village to attack the Land of Fire and let them know the consequences of offending us!"
As soon as Staff 3's words came out, they attracted the attention of the whole audience. Everyone looked at Staff 3 as if he was a fool. How could such words come out of your mouth?
We're ashamed to be on the same staff as you, the Daimyo of the Wind Country! Who is Uchiha Owl? He's a god of war, undefeated since his debut.
His strength has reached the first place in the ninja world. Even the Daimyo of the Fire Country can only hope in his heart that Uchiha Owl will remember his relationship with Tsunade and show mercy to him.
Not to mention how much respect Uchiha Owl has for the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, just for Uchiha Owl, it would be enough to give him some face. How come, according to the mouth of your staff member No. 3, Konoha becomes a target that can be attacked at will?
Staff member 3 stood up with full of righteousness. He looked at the ministers with disdain. "You only know how to talk big and have no actual contribution. What qualifications do you have to look at me?"
The corner of the Wind Country Daimyo's mouth twitched. "Shut his mouth for me, drag him out and give him twenty lashes of the cane." The Wind Country Daimyo's fingers trembled as he pointed at Staff 3.
The boss of the staff 3 glared at him and said, "Daimyo, what I said is all about loyalty to the country and the emperor!" However, the daimyo said impatiently, "Guards, take him away! Yes! Glue his mouth!"
"Yes!" Two guards, one on the left and one on the right, lifted up the staff member 3, and then stuffed a rag they found from somewhere into his mouth.
The strong smell made Staff 3 feel nauseous and he finally fainted. He could not understand until his death why he was persecuted in such a way because of his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.
The other staff members either shook their heads or sighed. Uchiha Owl's strength was too strong and could no longer be restricted like a normal ninja.
Now we should find a way to make Uchiha Xiao retract his hand and not stretch it so far.
Staff 1: "Daimyo, I suggest that you ask your brother-in-law, the Fire Country Daimyo, to handle the matter. Have him restrict Uchiha Owl, restrict Konoha Village, and prohibit Konoha Village from engaging in foreign trade!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, even the Daimyo of Wind Country couldn't help but nod his head. This was a good idea, it could be solved at the lowest cost, and with family ties, the Daimyo of Fire Country would definitely help, and it was also the easiest to resolve.
Staff 2: "Daimyo, I suggest reducing costs and lowering the selling price. We should reduce the price of water from 100 ryo to the same price as Konoha."
While the words of the second assistant minister were meant to benefit the country and its people, they caused dissatisfaction among the nobles within the daimyo's mansion. Having enjoyed high salaries and benefits, how could they allow the daimyo and their own interests to be harmed?
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Daimyo also frowned at this moment, his eyes were uncertain, and he knew in his heart that what the staff member 2 said made sense.
But how could he, blinded by profit, agree to this? This Wind Country is his Daimyo's Wind Country, and the Sand Village is just a subsidiary village of his Wind Country! They should just listen to his leadership and follow his orders!
"I let them eat and drink well, but now they are seeking trade with foreign countries! Bastards!" The Daimyo of the Wind Country roared. The long-term life of luxury made him like a tiger at this moment.
After these words were spoken, all the ministers present trembled and begged, praying to the Daimyo to calm down and not to treat the ants with such rage.
Staff member 1 did not say anything, but knelt on the ground with a shifty look in his eyes. Staff member 2 sighed in his heart, as he had actually known for a long time that the daimyo would not implement the policy he mentioned.
However, if he didn't give it a try, he would feel guilty about his conscience and his position as an official. So he said that at least he would not let himself down and would not be unworthy of his heart.
The Daimyo of Wind Country came back to his senses and said, "The policy of Staff 1 is accepted. Send an envoy to the Land of Fire immediately! Meet the Daimyo of Fire Country."
"Explain the cause of the matter, and have Staff 1 write down the full details. Bring five boxes of gold, silver, and jade to the Fire Nation Daimyo, and be sure to ask for his assistance."
"Also," the Daimyo of the Wind Country glanced at the Second Assistant. "The Second Assistant's policy is a backup plan. If the first policy cannot be implemented, then the Second Assistant's policy will be implemented, and the people will rest."
After saying this, the Daimyo of Wind Country announced the end of the meeting and the staff members headed outside.
They all had sad faces, and some even came up to the staff member and flattered him, "Sir, the happiness of our compatriots depends on you, so you must succeed."
Staff 1 glanced at them and said, "I'm just writing and proposing policies. As for whether they will succeed or not, I don't know. Please don't get your hopes too high. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
Several people showed hesitation, but knowing that Staff 1 was telling the truth, they couldn't help but sigh. As for Staff 2, the guy who didn't care about the interests of his colleagues, no one paid any attention to him.
Staff member 2 came out and walked towards home alone. He didn't care whether there were colleagues accompanying him or not. What he cared about was whether the people under the rule of the Wind Kingdom could live a good life and have enough food and drink.
His path was different from that of his ministers. He did not care whether anyone could follow him. He only wanted to have a clear conscience, to be worthy of himself and to be worthy of the people.
Evening
The envoys from the Wind Country arrived at the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion and received a warm welcome and attentive hospitality from the Fire Country Daimyo. The Daimyo among the five major countries have more or less some kind of kinship relationship.
"Your Excellency has come to my Fire Nation, but is there anything important that requires my attention? As long as I can help, I will definitely do so." The Daimyo of the Fire Nation said with a smile.
The envoy first had five boxes of jewels brought up and asked the Fire Country Daimyo to accept them. The Fire Country Daimyo did not accept them immediately but smiled and said, "Please tell me something, Your Excellency."
The matter is too troublesome and he doesn't want to help. Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and I are relatives, it is better not to get involved if the matter is too troublesome.
"No trouble, no trouble. It's just a small matter for you, Daimyo!" said the messenger with a smile.
The Fire Nation Daimyo did not move, but waited for the next words. The envoy saw that the Fire Nation Daimyo was not easy to fool, so he slowly said, "Daimyo, please make the decision for our Wind Nation!"
"Stand up and speak. Doesn't your Wind Country have a daimyo in charge? Why do you still need me to make the decision for you? What's the matter?" The daimyo of the Fire Country frowned. He felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
The envoy burst into tears. "Uchiha Owl of your country's Konoha Village wants to open a trade with our country's Sand Village, and they dare to act on their own without the consent of our Daimyo and you!"
The envoy did not forget to give the Fire Country Daimyo a small report. When the Fire Country Daimyo heard about Konoha Village, he knew that this matter was difficult. He could not help but frowned and said, "It's just trade. It's not trade with your country. It's just trade between the two ninja villages. There's no problem!"
In terms of kinship among the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he is closer to Uchiha Owl. He doesn't care about such a small matter. I really don't know what the people of the Land of Wind are thinking.
The envoy hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the Wind Country's activities. The daimyo couldn't help but frown. "So you guys are scamming your own people out of their money, and now you can't afford it anymore, and you want me to clean up your mess?"
The messenger said nothing, lowered his head, and said with a flattering smile, "Daimyo, you won't refuse to help, right?"
The Daimyo of the Fire Nation waved his hand and said, "Handle yourselves yourselves, I can't interfere." As he said that, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation had the guests sent away, and he did not take a penny of the treasures.
"What a joke! You want to destroy the relationship between me and Uchiha Owl with this little money? What are you dreaming of?" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire laughed coldly.
