Negotiation requires skills, and you also need to learn to master a certain degree of propriety and scale. This is the case with the rock and sand negotiations. Even if the victor has a very coercive claim on the loser, it is impossible for him to act arbitrarily. After all, Sunagakure Ninja is not an unconditional surrender. After all, people still have a certain degree of resistance. You need to consider their bottom line. If you are too disrespectful to others, it is very likely that your gains will outweigh the losses.
You should never do stupid things that don't catch the fish but also cause a fishy mess. This is why Ido and Hoshino and Kazuma and Fugi continued to argue for so long, spending nearly two hours negotiating the terms one by one.
To put it bluntly, they are testing each other's bottom line.
But the same thing is to prevent the defeated side from taking any advantage. To put it more directly, they have to test Sunagakure's bottom line, but they cannot let the opponent notice their bottom line. Only in this way can the interests of their own ninja village be guaranteed to the maximum extent.
Complete or even exceed the goals set in the planned plan!
Shōji's 'threatening' Baki and Fugi at the appropriate time is also a 'conventional approach', but it is a little excessive, and the timing is a little earlier than planned, but it is definitely possible It's like stepping on Sunagakure's sore foot, because such a clause is enough to make Sunagakure feel the pain of cutting flesh and heart, but it does not really force Sunagakure to the point where he is determined to resist to the end!
You may not believe it, but Shōji really had an idea at that moment and did it. Otherwise, according to the initial reservation plan, Ido would have slightly lowered the share of the terms before intimidating him. Once Baki, Fugi, after all, in the first bottom line requirement of their own Ninja Village, as long as the share of terms can meet 50%, they Iwagakure will already make a lot of money!
Now that Shōji intervened, the share ratio was even higher by fifteen percentage points. However, Ido did not express any dissatisfaction, because based on his experience, it was not the best time for Shōji to threaten at that moment, but it was still a more appropriate choice.
As long as nothing unexpected happens.
The Lord Kazekage opposite Sunagakure will most likely accept this agreement. At most, it will be coordinated and lowered when it is finally signed, but fundamentally it will not change again. This is the cruel reality that Sunagakure must accept.
In fact, this is also true.
When Baki and Fugi took heavy steps and returned to the main frontline camp with the treaty that seemed to have been reduced a lot, but was still humiliating and excessive for Sunagakure, and presented it to Rasa.
Rasa looked at the agreement on his desk with a cold expression. He gradually glanced down, and one after another the clauses of the agreement came into his eyes. The aura on his body also became colder and colder at this moment, and there was an extremely angry look in the depths of his pupils.
Especially when I heard that Baki, although it was impossible to completely paraphrase it, explained in a more tactful tone the moment when Shōji looked threatening. Rasa's expression became somewhat ferocious and twisted at this moment.
"Did he really say that? Is this Iwagakure's ultimatum?"
It seems that the curtains of the big tent are deliberately covered. Inside the slightly dim tent, Rasa's slightly forward body and seemingly expressionless posture can be seen from his pupils, and the suppressed and deep anger can be heard in his words as long as he is a normal person.
This moment all proves the extremely angry and aggrieved heart of this Lord Kazekage.
"Yes, Lord Kazekage, this is the incompetence of my subordinates!"
Baki and Fugi were kneeling on one knee on the ground at this moment. When Rasa finished speaking, the two of them lowered their heads suddenly, not daring to look at their own Lord Kazekage at all. This is a shame for the entire Sunagakure!
It was obviously a matter of victory or defeat in a local war, but its consequences were even more tragic than those of the three wars. You must know that after Konoha defeated Sunagakure Village in the third war, although Sunagakure Village was greatly suppressed and weakened in terms of armaments and economy, Konoha did not propose an agreement with similar terms (actually, the Third Hokage had a brain problem.)
Most of them are the result of objective reasons.
But this time in the battle between rock and sand.
They Sunagakure were defeated and had to pay such a heavy price?
How can Rasa accept this?
But what if you don't accept it?
Now Sunagakure really has no capital to hard-top Iwagakure.
"Haha, is it your incompetence? No, this is my incompetence and failure as Kazekage..."
Rasa smiled self-deprecatingly, and the words he spoke in a low voice were full of coldness and coldness at this moment, making Baki and Fugi in the lower positions couldn't help but tremble, just when they were about to say something.
But it was broken by Rasa gently swaying Teuchi.
"That's it, go tell Iwagakure that we agree to this agreement!"
This was a very difficult but necessary decision, but when Rasa finished speaking these words, it was as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he leaned directly on the seat behind him. The lonely and defeated look on his face also well explained the state of mind of this Lord Kazekage at the moment.
"Lord Kazekage..."
When Fugi heard Rasa's extremely lonely words, he suddenly raised his head. There was a look of reluctance on his face, and he wanted to continue to say something.
Baki on the side quickly pulled Fugi's sleeves and shook his head gently.
All Fugi's expressions of sadness and anger also froze at this moment.
"Yes, I will obey the orders of Lord Kazekage!"
Then they fell silent like a machine. Along with Baki on the side, they bowed again to salute Rasa in the first position. The two of them also walked out of the main tent with heavy steps again, leaving only the lonely figure of Rasa inside!
'Is this my destiny? '
There was also the sound of deep sighs lingering inside.
It is impossible for Sunagakure to resist, and it is impossible for Rasa to take any tough measures.
This is the result determined by human nature.
As long as Iwagakure doesn't kill them all and is willing to give Sunagakure a little hope, they will not cause trouble again.
This special peace agreement seems to have hit Sunagakure's seven inches of pain, but it is not fatal after all. If you are lingering, you are still alive, right?
As for what happens next.
That's something to consider later!
Although once this treaty is signed, not to mention Baki, Fugi and other Sunagakure Ninja who are responsible for the negotiation, even Rasa, who is Kazekage, will suffer a certain degree of criticism in the village. That is to say, there is no second person in Sunagakure who can compare with Rasa in strength and prestige, or who is only weaker.
If so.
The position of Rasa and Kazekage may really be shaken.
