And at this time, Rasa also received the news that Kumogakure and Konoha actually clashed again at the border. This made Rasa secretly curse Fourth Raikage A and Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi for being pig-minded, while having to prepare for the worst.
God knows if Iwagakure Ninja will have any further evil thoughts when the conflict breaks out between Konoha and Kumogakure. This is not unreasonable for Rasa, but it is a real possibility. Baki, Fugi, Yura all have their heart strings tightened.
While preparing for negotiations and negotiations.
On the other hand, he still has no intention of relaxing his guard.
Rasa gritted his teeth and continued to mobilize nearly a thousand Sunagakure Ninja from the southern and eastern border areas to the front line area in order to prevent any unexpected situations. However, it was obvious that the Iwagakure Ninja side did not make the move that Rasa least wanted to see.
Don't mention that Ōnoki knows very well that Kumogakure and Konoha are currently just fighting in a small way. The total number of ninjas gathered in the border area by both sides is not even three thousand. Even if a larger-scale conflict really breaks out, Ōnoki will not go too far to force Sunagakure at this time. As mentioned before, Ōnoki is the most experienced shadow above Shinobi World, and his sensitivity and judgment of the situation are far beyond ordinary people!
Including the thoughts and thinking of people like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Fourth Raikage A, Ōnoki can grasp a little bit of it. To put it bluntly, if they Iwagakure really have the intention to further squeeze or even destroy Sunagakure, just a little bit!
Konoha and Kumogakure will definitely cease fighting immediately and join forces to suppress them Iwagakure!
Many times, threats and interests are treated equally. Keeping the two in a suitable equilibrium range is what a 'shadow' should do most!
Besides, no further expression is needed.
Ōnoki can predict that Iwagakure has won such a huge victory here, Konoha and Kumogakure will definitely be surprised, and may not necessarily directly cease the war and turn around to deal with them, but controlling the scale of friction and taking a closer look at their Iwagakure's movements is something they will definitely do!
Therefore, Ōnoki will definitely not do anything unnecessary here. The benefits obtained this time are already rich enough. Northern Fortress, more than two thousand Sunagakure Ninja casualties, and many precious metal producing areas including 'Lanthanum Metal' have been seized, and hundreds of Sunagakure Ninja prisoners are still in custody. These are all a rich fortune!
You have already obtained enough things, but if you want to be more greedy, you are very likely to overwhelm yourself to death. This is not something a rational person would do!
Iwagakure's side, including Kitsuchi and Shōji, all still adopted standby mode under the command of Ōnoki. No one showed any coercion, including Sunagakure Ninja The side obviously dispatched a thousand more reinforcements, and the Iwagakure Ninja side was also indifferent, because Kitsuchi and Shōji knew very well that if they only dispatched a thousand reinforcements, they must be seeking self-protection.
We really want to continue the war.
If we don't allocate two or three thousand people, we can't really threaten Northern Fortress!
Rasa really didn't make any further dangerous moves after seeing Iwagakure Ninja. The Iwagakure Ninjas on the Northern Fortress frontline even took the initiative to retreat a little, and the tension deep in their hearts relaxed a little.
Although nothing can really be determined yet, this gesture is at least a relatively good signal.
By the morning of the third day after the war, the two sides were almost ready for negotiation. The candidates for negotiation were already confirmed, and the location was arranged in the buffer zone between the Northern Fortress and Sunagakure Ninja frontline base camps.
The rock and sand negotiations have also officially arrived!
According to what was discussed in advance, the number of negotiators arranged by both parties is two each, and the number of accompanying escorts cannot exceed five.
The negotiators on the Sunagakure side are Baki and Fugi.
The escort is also an elite member of Anbu arranged by Rasa himself.
Although he was on the losing side, Rasa, who was Kazekage, would not appear on such an occasion when Ōnoki did not show up. Even though his face had already been torn off more than one layer by Shōji on the battlefield, after all, the identity of Kazekage was still here.
This can be regarded as the last bit of self-esteem.
The negotiators on Iwagakure Ninja's side were Ido who was specially ordered by Ōnoki to put aside Snow Country's issue for the time being and was immediately dispatched to the front line. Although there are many more reliable ones in the village. There are functional personnel, but after all, Ido is the most experienced and the person Ōnoki trusts the most. The auxiliary personnel are Hoshino, who works under Kitsuchi and is also a member of Jōnin Squad.
The two of them are also equivalent in terms of identity: Baki and Fugi.
This is also the almost foreseeable arrangement of negotiators for both sides.
Only on the escort.
Kitsuchi originally planned to dispatch several powerful Jōnin to accompany him as guards, but he did not expect Shōji to take the initiative to ask for help. Of course, although Kitsuchi and Ido were a little stunned, they did not refuse Shōji's request.
And this directly saves a lot of things.
With Shōji here, there is no need to arrange other guards, and Ido does not need to worry about his own safety at all. According to the performance of his "colleague deputy squad leader" in the war, above the current Shinobi World, he is truly the best.
If you want to kill Uchiha Shōji, Sunagakure must either attack Rasa and One-Tail together, or use at least two to three thousand Sunagakure Ninja to besiege Shōji alone!
Of course, this may not be successful. In the former combination, Mangekyō Sharingan's restraint on Tailed Beast Chakra is no joke. With the latter, even if they really can't beat them, can't they still run away? Third Raikage is to cover the retreat of the main force of his own Ninja Village. This is why he is trapped in Iwagakure Ninja and cannot escape.
This is the ecological environment that the 'Kage Level strong man' should have!
And in the negotiating location.
Baki, Fugi, and the five Sunagakure Anbu elites who came to escort them saw the figure of Shōji. At this moment, the pupils of the seven people suddenly shrank, and the subconsciously shocked bodies all proved the shock deep in the hearts of Baki, Fugi and Sunagakure Ninja at this moment.
'This is? Could it be? '
'No! It shouldn't be possible! '
Baki and Fugi looked at each other. The only difference was the five Sunagakure Ninja Anbu who wanted to directly take a fighting stance. However, it was just a moment of tension. In fact, they all knew that Iwagakure Ninja could not do such a stupid thing. It was really meaningless.
After all, it's not their Lord Kazekage who came.
Moreover, Ido and Hoshino are already firmly seated on the negotiating table that has been prepared and inspected by both parties.
Shōji stood aside with a bored look. It was only at the moment Baki appeared that his pupils seemed to faintly reveal a ray of beautiful color.
Baki and Fugi also took a deep breath, then strode to the negotiating table, bowed slightly to salute, and then Ido and Hoshino returned the same greeting.
The two of them also took their seats at the same time.
