Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Menma smiled softly inwardly.

"Then please ask this Tutaisang to come to the government hall."

Menma paused and looked at Duolan and said.

"Yes, Master Menma."

Duo Lan also responded immediately in a deep voice, then turned and left to make arrangements for the Tutai group that had arrived.

"Menma-kun, the Hidden Cloud Village sent an envoy at this time. Are they planning to negotiate with us?"

After Duolan left.

Shibuki, who was sitting on the side, frowned and looked at Menma with a hint of suspicion and asked.

"Well, nine out of ten times, first of all, not to mention that the Hidden Cloud Village is no longer able to continue the war after being hit hard by us and the Hidden Rock Village. Just the nearly one hundred Kumo ninja captives in our hands and the most important Two-Tails Jinchuriki will not allow them to have too much autonomy to negotiate with us. This is inevitable. The difference is the time sequence or the difference in conditions."

Menma nodded slightly in reply.

"So what is our attitude this time?"

"The Kumo-nin captives can be returned. There's no point in keeping them anyway. As long as the other side is sincere enough, it will be fine. As for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, that's 100% impossible."

Menma sneered and said firmly.

Not to mention that he had already reached an agreement with Youlv, and he would greatly need Youlv's assistance in his future plans.

Even without this.

Can the Jinchūriki be returned easily?

Do you really think he is from Konoha?

You won the war, but you still want to spit out the fat meat you have eaten? How stupid does one have to be to do that?

Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to your own family.

How terrifying power can a tailed beast unleash on the battlefield! ?

Just put it back like this?

How can it be!

Shibuki also nodded in agreement. Indeed, ordinary Kumo Ninjas could be sent back, but how could the Two-Tails Jinchuriki be sent back so easily? Only a fool would do that!

"I'll trouble you, Jun-san, to implement what we just discussed. Wait a minute, Shibuki-san, please go with me to meet the Raikage think tank of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Menma stood up and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yes, Menma-sama (Yes, I understand, Menma-kun.)"

Shemu and Ajun responded in unison.

Negotiations between countries and ninja villages.

It often depends on the strength of each party. Only the strong have the right to speak, and the weak can only listen with a respectful attitude. In the past confrontations in the ninja world, whether it is Takigakure Village or Kusagakure Village, they only have a little say when the five major ninja villages confront each other. At other times, they almost have to act according to the faces of the five major countries.

And now.

With Menma's strong leadership and the attacks from several major ninja villages that were overturned one after another, the Taki and Kusa alliance has already firmly established its foothold in the ninja world.

A change in atmosphere visible to the naked eye.

When Dodai entered the ninja village with Duolan, he could clearly feel that not only the Taki ninjas, but also the ordinary residents walking on the main street and in the houses on both sides, all held their heads high and looked at the arrival of the Cloud ninjas. Almost most of them had a look of "looking down" on their faces.

This is the confidence and composure that only winners can have.

The foundation of the five major countries was accumulated and cultivated bit by bit in this way. Tsuchida can foresee that as long as Takigakure Village does not encounter too great a blow in the future, it will not take too long, just ten to twenty years, and when the next generation grows up, Takigakure Village can truly lay the foundation for a major ninja village.

By that time, even if Uzumaki Menma dies due to some accident, the status of Takigakure Village will be unbreakable.

Almost all the five major countries have come this way.

The platform is so familiar.

Therefore, the fear deep in Dodai's heart became even stronger at this moment. He originally thought that he was just a young man with outstanding talent and strong personal strength, which was nothing. Even someone as strong as their Third Raikage eventually died in the battle, didn't he?

Unless one is as strong as the two real "terrorists" of the Hidden Leaf Village, one's personal strength will still appear a little powerless in front of a big ninja village.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 348 Intentions and Negotiations

But now, Takigakure Village has obviously become a little different.

Even if it's just the beginning.

But Dodai could sense that the thriving development trend of Takigakure Village was either because that young man knew how to run a ninja village, or because there were other people helping him behind the scenes.

"Huh... No matter what it is, we still need to be more vigilant..."

Looking at the large government hall that was already in front of him.

Tutai let out a breath in his heart and thought silently in his heart.

By the time Tutai and his men arrived at the government hall.

There were three figures sitting on the main seat and on the right.

They were none other than Menma, Shibuki, and Karin.

When Dodai saw the three people, especially when he saw Menma sitting in the main seat and Shibuki sitting in the lower seat, his eyes froze.

He quickened his pace a little, and after arriving a little further ahead, Tutai bowed slightly to greet him.

"In the Hidden Cloud Village, Dodai greets Lord Menma and Lord Shibuki."

After all, he is the victor. It is impossible to call him "Sir" directly, but it is still necessary to respectfully address him as "Your Excellency".

In the past history, the five major countries fought to the death.

As long as it is necessary, basic respect must be maintained for ninjas from other countries with very high reputations in ninja villages, or even for ninjas who are directly among the Five Kage.

This is also a way for the five major countries to safeguard their respective interests.

Don't ever think that this is something that doesn't matter.

"Haha, Tutai-san, you're welcome. Please take a seat."

Menma smiled softly, waved his right hand gently, and said in a light tone.

"Yes."

Dodai also sat down directly on the main seat on the far left with a smile on his face, and two Cloud Ninjas also sat down behind him.

When seeing these two Cloud Ninjas.

Menma's eyes also half-closed.

Not because of anything else.

Just because of the identities of these two Cloud Ninjas, Menma knew them a little bit, but not based on the memories of this life, but the memories of the previous life.

The person on the left is a mature woman with short blond hair. Her breasts are so big that they seem to burst out. If I am not mistaken, this Cloud Ninja should be Samui, a close subordinate of the Fourth Raikage and one of the secretaries in charge of the Fourth Raikage's daily work.

The other one was also a male Cloud Ninja with short blond hair.

It was the guard who accompanied the Fourth Raikage to the Five Kage Conference in the original work, the Cloud Ninja who was also outstanding in the field of perception techniques - Xi.

It can be said that the three messengers sent by the Hidden Cloud Village this time are all elites in the Hidden Cloud Village.

If I really want to be ruthless and take down everyone without regard for the rules.

This would definitely make the Fourth Raikage heartbroken for a long time, but this ridiculous idea only flashed through Menma's mind for a moment before he put it out of his mind.

It's not like this is some Cloud Ninja that poses a particularly great threat or has any special value.

Menma has no desire to take action at all. If Kirabi appears here, Menma might even have the desire to take action.

After all, he is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

After Menma took his seat on the platform, he began to greet people with a smile. Although he had little social experience in his previous life, he could be said to be the biggest beneficiary of the Internet age. Even if he had not experienced many things personally, he had more or less "seen" them.

At a time when we are already certain of the Cloud Ninja's intentions.

Menma was able to face Dodai and his group in the most relaxed manner without having to speak actively.

They are the dominant party.

Dodai himself would not think that others would be unaware of his side's intentions. Arriving at this point in time was basically an open visit. Before leaving, Dodai had already negotiated with his own Lord Raikage. Even if the price to be paid was a little higher, it did not matter, as long as all the Cloud Ninjas headed by Bokuto could be redeemed.

Tutai initially felt that there would be difficulties, but the problem would not be too big.

After all, Dodai didn't know Menma's true intentions.

What's more, he thought that with the presence of Yukito, the Two-Tails would definitely be slightly biased towards them. In addition, based on the influence of the current environment in the ninja world, Menma and Shibuki were both young people within the foreseeable range.

Tutai thinks the feasibility is still quite high.

But even at this first meeting, Tsuchida could clearly feel that the red-haired boy in front of him might not be as easy to fool as he imagined. The most crucial thing was that he misjudged the relationship between Menma and Shibuki, which also completely messed up Tsuchida's initial plan. Menma had a very high status in Takigakure Village, which was completely different from Menma having become the leader of Takigakure Village.

The constant back-and-forth polite conversation was completely formalistic.

A bitter smile appeared in Tutai's heart.

He really didn't expect this young man to be so talkative, and most importantly, so calm? He didn't even have the intention to ask questions?

Although they came here on their own initiative and have already lost the most critical dominant position, they can still strive for more on such details. The more they can strive for, the better. However, judging from the current situation, if they don't say something,

I think Menma can definitely keep going on like this.

"After all, we need help from others."

Tutai sighed softly inwardly.

I also adjusted my mindset, reorganized my language, and found a perfect opportunity to have a chat.

"Ahem, actually we came here today on the orders of Lord Raikage, and we want to negotiate with your village on some minor issues. The previous friction was also due to some misunderstandings. We came here with sincerity, hoping to eliminate the misunderstandings between the two villages and restore the previous friendship."

Tutai also coughed lightly, looked at Menma sitting on the main seat with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice.

In diplomatic talks, you should speak differently to different people.

Especially when it comes to the military confrontation between the ninja villages of the two major countries, talking nonsense is a necessary skill.

Didn’t you hear what Tutai said?

The issue of casualties and hatred was not mentioned at all, and the conflict between the two parties was constantly downplayed.

Negotiations on minor issues? So-called frictions? And misunderstandings?

Even though everyone knows the truth, this is how negotiations have to proceed.

"Misunderstanding?"

Listen to Tutai's words.

There was also a hint of a smile in Menma's pupils.

Dodai's skill points for lying with his eyes open are really maxed out. No, it should be said that he can stay in the ninja world for decades and become the think tank of a large ninja village. This is the basic operation.

Even though this is something that everyone knows.

But it just can't be brought to the table for discussion.

As long as the conditions of both parties can be agreed upon, a misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding. The interactions between national ninja villages are so practical and direct.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, and you are sincere, why don't you first express your sincerity, Tutai-san? I think, Tutai-san, the Raikage must have considered it carefully before coming here, right?"

Menma crossed his hands on the table and said with a smile.

The main intention remains unchanged.

But the details still need to be carefully considered.

Although Yumujin would not let them go back, the captured ordinary Cloud Ninjas could be negotiated with. After all, there were nearly a hundred people, and there seemed to be several Jonin among them. For a ninja village, this was already a huge amount of human resources.

Imprisoning him in his own ninja village would be a waste of his own resources.

However, if the Hidden Cloud Village does not offer conditions that satisfy them, then these one hundred Cloud Ninjas will not be able to go back.

I would rather waste resources and shut it up.

As for killing the prisoners.

cough cough.
