"I'm here to consult the first Ninja Way Tournament! Regarding Kusagakure's suggestion, we Third Hokage also agree very much with our hearts, although this time Grass Ninja does not have tolerance and maliciously abducted my village Jinchuriki..."
"Don't talk nonsense! A visit to relatives! A visit to relatives! This is a visit to relatives! Can we call it kidnapping when a child goes home to visit relatives? You are destroying the friendship between Konoha and Uzumaki Clan!"
"..."
Do you want me to destroy the friendship between Konoha and Uzumaki Clan?
No, now is not the time to talk about this.
Shikaku Nara looked at Mujie with a serious face, and continued, "It's just that Kusagakure has repeatedly failed to practice tolerance, so Konoha very much doubts the fairness of this conference!"
"Don't worry, we guarantee absolute fairness, justice and openness! I guarantee it as the leader of my village!"
"..."
Do you believe it?
Looking at the righteous Grass Ninja Advisor in front of him, Shikamaru Nara's mouth twitched, but he didn't dwell too much on it and quickly said, "The first one is the 100 million registration fee..."
"Don't worry about this! We in the Grass Ninja Village definitely do not charge excessively. I believe you also know... The manufacturing in the Grass Ninja Village has always been famous in the ninja world for its high quality and low price, and is deeply trusted by everyone in the ninja world. How can there be a problem of arbitrary charging? This money will be used to build the venue and maintain public security! According to the calculations of our Grass Ninja Village, there is absolutely no overcharge!"
"???"
Why should we, Konoha, pay for the construction of the venue?
It's so shameless~
Shikaku raised his eyelids, condensed his eyes, and said calmly, "This war is a problem between Kusagakure and Konoha. Konoha has not yet been defeated. It is absolutely impossible for Konoha to pay this money. If he refuses to agree..."
However.
Before he could finish speaking.
Grass Ninja Advisor in front of him ignored him and turned to look at Grass Ninja behind him, "Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja! Where is Grass Ninja? Send someone back quickly to tell the leader that Konoha refuses to participate in the conference. Let the leader go and fight Iwagakure~"
"???"
Shikaku Nara suddenly stared at Grass Ninja Advisor who was talking nonsense.
The scene before my eyes...
Why is his N so familiar?!
He quickly came to his senses and said immediately, "Stop, stop, stop! Konoha hasn't refused yet!"
"Is that so? Don't scare me~" It seems that after hearing Shikaku Nara's words, Mujie felt relieved and said dissatisfied, "If the two villages fight again and damage the friendship between the two villages, you Nara Clan Head will have to take full responsibility!"
"..."
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Shikaku Nara's mouth twitched again, but he continued, "It's just that the registration fee is 100 million..."
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"... Stop!"
There is something in my heart that I don't know whether to say or not!
Shikaku Nara Resist the urge to strangle this bastard.
Are you sure you want the Grass Ninja who are surrounding you to leave?
See if I don't beat you to death!
Taking a deep breath, "Forget it! Let's not mention it for now, I will go back to discuss with Lord Hokage, but... Ninja Way Tournament, Konoha also has some requirements for this!"
"Please tell me!" Mujie nodded seriously as if nothing happened just now, "Kusagakure absolutely guarantees fairness and justice!"
"..."
I believe you!
Of course, Shikaku Nara still had a smile on his face and nodded.
No matter what... this time he had to explore the situation at Kusagakure first.
As for what to choose next, that is a matter for the village.
"In order to ensure fairness and justice, Konoha..." Looking at Mujie, Shikaku Nara once again put on an expressionless face, "We Lord Hokage hope... that the leaders of the villages and the shadows are banned from the stage!"
It has to be said that the strength of Half-God of the Ninja World and Grass Ninja Leader makes Konoha a little afraid. If Lord Hokage does not come out, they have no confidence that anyone can completely defeat these two leaders!
However.
The words just fell.
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Shikaku Nara stopped Mujie who wanted to call Grass Ninja with a black look on his face, and sighed helplessly, "We will discuss this request for the time being!"
Sure enough...
This request is impossible for Kusagakure to agree to.
After all, leaders Grass Ninja Leader and Rain Ninja... are both formidable strong men Shinobi World, how could they not appear because of Konoha's few words?
You know... even though this is a conference, it is no less than a war~
Who would want their village to be defeated?
He looked at Mujie again and said with a serious tone, "Uzumaki Clan and Konoha have been close allies since ancient times. Their relationship can be traced back to Warring States Period. Although now Konoha and There are some problems between the Uzumaki Clan, but Konoha doesn't want to damage the friendship between them. Therefore, Konoha hopes that your village can ban Uzumaki Clan from playing this time to avoid damaging the friendship between the two villages!"
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"Konoha hopes that the ninja who has lived in the village for thirty years and Ninja Clan can play!"
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"Konoha hopes it can be held in Konoha!"
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"Konoha hopes to start at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja!"
"..."
Shikaku Nara looked at him speechlessly and said something, and the other person shouted Grass Ninja and Mujie.
Is this a consultation?
I'm asking a ghost!
Always shout Grass Ninja!
And this time.
Seeing Shikamaru Nara who had stopped speaking, Mujie's face showed the smile of a loved relative and friend again, "Excuse me, do you have anything else to ask?"
"... No more!"
"Thank you for your inquiry this time. Do you want to know more about Talent Introduction?"
"...Kusagakure is so calculating!" Shikaku Nara shook his head with a wry smile, then stared at Mujie, with a faint tone, "Aren't you afraid of Konoha's rejection?"
"Grass Ninja! Grass Ninja! Konoha said he refused!"
"Stop! Sorry! I was just talking nonsense!"
"Why are you Clan Head talking nonsense again? What should I do if you ruin the friendship between the two villages?"
"... Then I'll resign first! Kusagakure's request will be sent back to Konoha!"
"No more chatting? Talent Introduction..."
"No! No! Goodbye!"
With that said, Shikaku Nara didn't stop for a moment and ran directly outside.
It wasn't until he was far away from the so-called information desk that he stopped, turned his head, looked deeply at the information desk, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This Kusagakure... is sure to defeat their Konoha!
But if Kusagakure really follows Kusagakure's request, Konoha's chances of winning will be low. It's better to keep fighting!
only.
He just didn't say it out loud.
If we really want to continue fighting... we can catch Kusagakure by surprise!
Shikaku Nara shook his head and looked at the atmosphere at the side of Konoha Ninja, "Let's go back..."
The words are not finished yet.
As if he remembered something, he looked at another Kusagakure information desk not far away.
Konoha Ninja, who was following along, saw Master Shikaku stop again, and immediately looked confused, "Master Shikaku, what's wrong?"
"Wait a moment!" Shikaku Nara frowned slightly and hesitated.
Nothing more was said.
Then he took Konoha Ninja and walked over there again.
Why... are they divided into two and still so far apart?
Although Konoha Ninja was confused, he didn't ask any more questions and followed them together.
Not a moment.
Shikaku Nara Everyone came to another information desk and immediately saw the man with his eyes closed and wrapped tightly.
Kusagakure Head of the Finance Department——Kakuzu!
A mysterious strong man whose strength cannot be underestimated!
Kakuzu looked different from Mujie. After he came in, Kakuzu didn't speak again. Shikaku frowned slightly and continued, "Hello! This is the staff officer from Konoha..."
"Hmm~"
"..."
So plain?
It seems that Kusagakure... really didn't even think about agreeing to Konoha's request~.
Shikaku Nara sighed inwardly, but after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Lord Hokage has several requirements for this conference." With a tone of no expectation, he looked at Kakuzu calmly, "We Lord Hokage hope that... our village Hokage and the leader of Caoyu are prohibited from attending..."
However.
The words are not finished yet.
"Fifty million!"
"???" Shikaku was stunned, as if he was startled by Kakuzu who suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him.
What did you just hear?
But after a while, he quickly analyzed the existing information in his mind, and seemed to understand something. He pondered for a moment, "What if Konoha wants to ban any Uzumaki Clan clan members from coming to power?"
"Uzumaki Clan?" Kakuzu frowned slightly and looked at him, his tone vaguely dissatisfied, "Uzumaki Clan is also a member of Kusagakure, just like Konoha is the same as Uchiha Clan, Uzumaki Clan is closely related to Kusagakure, sharing weal and woe, and they are also the ninjas of Kusagakure..."
"..."
That's right.
It's indeed a bit overwhelming!
Shikaku Nara sighed inwardly, whatever... it would be fine if the leaders of the two villages did not come on stage.
He nodded and said apologetically, "I know! I will go back and tell Lord Hokage about Kusagakure's request! Since it doesn't work..."
"More money!"
"???"
There is a sentence below that I don't know whether to say or not!
