Very irritable, with a hint of fear.
This is the truest portrayal of Boro's heart at this moment. He really didn't expect that a single thought in January last year would lead to such a bad situation. How pitiful. Although he did covet Uchiha Clan's bloodline at that time and wanted to obtain Sharingan's Kekkei Genkai, it was more out of the idea of self-preservation.
Everyone knows how powerful Uchiha Clan is. At that time, Uchiha and Konoha completely broke off their relationship. When the clan broke away, not only Boro, but also many people including Konoha speculated that Uchiha Clan would 'found a nation' alone! Because they used to occupy a large part of the power by relying on the power of their clan. This was also the normal situation for the entire Shinobi World before the era of Ninja Village. Even now, there are still some Ninja Clan who live in seclusion in a certain place and control an area alone.
Uchiha Clan is so powerful and proud, there is a high probability that they will make such a choice, and their Land of Grass is a country whose prosperity is only lower than Five Great Nations, and the climate and environment are quite pleasant. At that time, Boro would not think about the poor geographical location of his country, sandwiched between big countries. Even if Uchiha Clan really wanted to establish a separate country, he would never choose a dangerous area like Land of Grass.
Just when he saw Uchiha Clan dragging his family to the Land of Grass border area, the alarm bell sounded deep in the heart of the Kusagakure leader, and he had to look at this incident from the worst perspective!
It is also based on this situation, and there is also a trace of greed.
This prompted Boro to send a special person to proactively contact Konoha. Boro felt that Uchiha Clan would definitely be coveted by other ninja villages when being chased by Konoha. Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure would all want to obtain the blood of the Uchiha Clan, as long as these great ninja villages took action., Kusagakure may not be able to follow behind and get a sip of soup. Boro's requirements are not high. As long as he can get double-digit corpses of Uchiha tribesmen, as well as several Uchiha tribesmen who are still babies, and Uchiha women, he will be very satisfied. In this way, their Kusagakure cannot give birth to their own 'Sharingan' Kekkei Genkai in the future!
In fact, now his own ninja village has obtained additional bloodstains of the Uzumaki Clan. This is the handiwork of Boro. He plans for the future Kusagakure to grow stronger step by step in this way. In at most thirty years, there is a certain probability that Kusagakure can rival Five Great Shinobi Villages!
Is it possible that I might even become a 'Grass Shadow' in the future?
This is the ambition of Boro.
However, it is a pity that none of this developed in the direction Boro expected. Uchiha Clan had no intention of staying with Land of Grass, and even reached an agreement with Iwagakure. Konoha also gave up the pursuit.
These saucy operations really dazzled Boro.
He was very worried that his intentions would be exposed. It was precisely because of this concern that many people in the village did not know Boro's decision. To be more safe, Boro even sent his most trusted person to implement this plan, and this person was his son - Mammoth!
Now all the information in his son's brain has obviously fallen into the hands of Shōji, which puts Boro and even the entire Kusagakure into a very embarrassing situation. In the situation, he wanted to explain something, but when he saw the frosty face of Shōji across from him, Boro could only move his lips slightly, and finally turned into a low sigh.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
After quickly weighing the different harmful consequences of various decisions in his mind, Boro had to admit that choosing to bow his head here would be the one with the least loss. However, Boro still had to try his best to strive for a better result.
"Shōji-kun, I know it is useless to say anything now, but that is not only a matter of the past, but also caused no substantial damage at all. It is just a superficial behavior. Don't you think your request is too much?"
Boro took a deep breath, forced his expression to calm down, looked directly at Uchiha Shōji in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
"Excessive? No, I think this is the most reasonable. In my opinion, consequentialism is indeed necessary sometimes, but in this type of matter, it seems ridiculous. If no damage is caused, it can be ignored? That is not anything else, just because we Uchiha Clan is just powerful enough. This cannot be used as an excuse. Sir, I have already put my words here. You only have two choices, agree or reject. Of course, I think you, Sir, will know better than anyone else what the final consequences will be!"
The threat of Chiguoguo.
Although this Kusagakure leader still rejected his conditions in the end, Shōji will not do anything in a short time, not to mention now, but this does not prevent him from putting pressure on the opposite Boro now. The key point of negotiation and negotiation is to seize the opponent's weaknesses as much as possible, and then prevent the other party from seeing his trump card. This is the most direct and effective way!
But generally speaking, this is also very difficult to do.
Therefore, in many negotiations, it takes a long time for both parties to test, contact, and see-saw bit by bit before they can finally reach a conclusion.
Can Boro see Shōji's trump card clearly? This is negative, but Shōji can 100% grasp the weaknesses of Boro, which is a great advantage in negotiations. Of course, the most important point is Shōji itself and behind him. Uchiha Clan and Iwagakure are powerful enough. This is Shōji's greatest confidence, and it is also what Boro and even Kusagakure need to be most afraid of.
Negotiations between the strong and the weak are not fair in the first place, because they are in an unequal situation from the beginning.
And this feeling of being cornered.
It's really not good at all!
Boro's eyes revealed a faint hint of scarlet.
It just so happened to be at this moment.
"Well, but this is indeed a big event. Your Excellency, the leader, should think about it for a day. I hope I can hear the good news from your Excellency the leader tomorrow!"
Shōji, who had always been aggressive before, took the initiative to slow down his pace at this moment. This deliberately set aside period of time made Boro's expression froze, as if he couldn't react.
But only after that second.
Boro seemed to realize something, and took a deep look at Shōji in the opposite position. At this moment, he really realized how terrifying Shōji was.
Deep down in my heart I couldn't help but wonder, 'Is this guy really only seventeen years old? ' This thought came to me.
