Joining the Negotiations

Yun Yan glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said directly:

"I kicked the door down because I couldn't stand this negotiation. I came here to interfere, even if you, old man Sarutobi, don't want me to, I'm still going to get involved."

He nodded dejectedly again. Faced with Yun Yan's domineering attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to agree.

Hearing this, and seeing that Yun Yan, this reckless fellow, was really going to intervene in the negotiations, Tu Dodai finally panicked. Dodai really didn't want the favorable situation to turn around in his hands, so he quickly said:

"Lord Hokage, negotiations are not child's play. It's disrespectful to have someone barge in halfway through negotiations."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there with his head down, his entire demeanor changed. He didn't respond to Dodai's words at all; his attitude could only be described as non-violent non-cooperation, as if he had turned into a lump of unmoving mud.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude, Dodai was getting really anxious and started racking his brains for reasons:

"Lord Hokage, you see, first of all, this kid doesn't have a suitable position, does he? He doesn't have enough position or power, nor is he qualified to participate in today's negotiations. Can we send him back? Let's talk privately?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, showing no reaction whatsoever to Dodai's voice.

Yun Yan spoke up at the opportune moment, and his words were sharp and Yakumi, seemingly aimed directly at Dodai:

"I say, Envoy Dodai, there's no point in saying that. What do you mean I have no position and no right to participate in these negotiations? I am, after all, a captain of the Anbu."

"Just a little..."

Dodai wanted to say that an Anbu leader had no right to participate in this negotiation, but when he saw the Mangekyō Sharingan in Yun Yan's eyes, he swallowed hard and managed to swallow the words that were about to come out.

Just because Dodai swallowed his words didn't mean everyone else did. A young man from the Kumogakure delegation behind Dodai instinctively showed disdain:

"You're just an Anbu, what right do you have to participate in these negotiations?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan's expression remained unchanged, but Dodai's face paled. He angrily roared at the young man behind him, while sternly warning everyone:

"Shut up! I didn't ask you to speak, did I? Why are you saying things to show off your presence?"

From now on, I'm issuing a rule: anyone who wants to speak must get my permission. You can only speak after I give your permission; otherwise, you must all shut up. Do you understand?

Faced with the almost murderous gaze emanating from the Dodai, the young members of the Kumogakure delegation behind them were all somewhat intimidated and nodded in unison.

To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi who was trying to smooth things over with a kind expression, but Yun Yan.

Facing the Dodai and the delegation from Kumogakure, Yun Yan smiled and said in a very amiable manner:

"Hey, Dodai envoy, what are you doing? You can't just stop people from speaking, can you? This is pointless, and it won't really shut people up."

However, what that young man said just now made a lot of sense. What qualifications do I, a mere squad leader in the Anbu, have to negotiate with you?

Perhaps in your eyes, I don't even have the qualifications to stand by and guard this negotiation, right?

Where?

Dodai broke out in a cold sweat. Now that he was forced into this situation, he had no choice but to face Yun Yan, whether he wanted to or not. Sensing Yun Yan's hostile aura, he even had to find excuses for Yun Yan:

"In the Shinobi World, strength is paramount; rank is secondary. After careful consideration, I believe you are qualified to participate in this negotiation. Perhaps..."

Why don't you choose a seat across from me and we can talk things over slowly? We're sure we can reach a satisfactory and harmonious conclusion."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been sitting behind his desk with little energy, couldn't help but glance at Dodai at this moment.

A satisfactory and harmonious outcome? Your attitude towards me just now was completely different. You always start fights at the drop of a hat, so why are you being so nice to Yun Yan?

It's really... a matter of personal bias, treating people differently than the issue. They were so hostile towards me when they saw I was weak and easy to bully, but now that they see Yun Yan is a tough nut to crack, they suddenly become so friendly?

That's right, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also forced to face reality and finally realized a certain reality.

The reality is that he is so weak and corrupt that even his enemies can take advantage of him.

When he truly started to give up and realized the cruel reality he hadn't wanted to face before, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually seemed to have a more accepting attitude.

He simply thought to himself, let Yun Yan continue the negotiations. Anyway, the situation can't get any worse. I'm tired. Let the world be destroyed, as long as Konoha isn't destroyed!

Yun Yan and Dodai, standing nearby, had no idea what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't care.

At this moment, Yun Yan, seemingly to save face, specifically confirmed with the Dodai:

"Dodai Tutai, are you sure you want me to participate in this negotiation?"

Dodai looked somewhat aggrieved, but given the situation, he dared not make any rash moves. He could only nod and gesture for Tu Tai to sit down.

"That's right. It seems that, besides the Lord Hokage, you are the most qualified person to participate in these negotiations."

Nodding, Yun Yan looked to the other side, intending to find a seat anywhere to formally participate in the negotiations.

However, somewhat embarrassingly, when Yun Yan Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, he accidentally broke the chairs they were sitting in.

Now, on the Konoha elders' side, only the chair that Danzo before is sitting there all alone.

However, precisely because it was the Danzo had sat in before, Yun Yan felt a bit disgusted. He didn't really want to sit in that chair, but what could he do since there were no other chairs in the office?

There's no other way but to make do, and before that, we need to tidy up this messy place.

So Yun Yan glanced at Danzo with his Mangekyō Sharingan and began to control him again, or rather, to make use of him.

Danzo was completely under control. He was now like a servant, suddenly getting up from the ground and doing as Yun Yan wanted.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Dodai, and the others, and while Danzo was under the control of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the old man began to diligently get to work.

The first thing he did was drag the Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura out of the Hokage's office and throw them directly into the corridor outside the Hokage's office.

The reason is simple: in a proper negotiation, these two old guys, who at least hold the position of Konoha elder, are lying here unconscious. It's really a bit outrageous.

So before negotiations, we need to get rid of their two corpses to make the place look less unsightly.

After dragging the two unimportant people out, Danzo quickly came back in to clean up the mess. At this moment, Danzo was like a cleaner, starting to pick up the broken chairs.

You know what, Danzo did have some strength, no matter what. With that foundation, Danzo got to work pretty quickly, and he cleaned up the broken chairs and such in no time.

Not only did he clean it up, but Danzo also Danzo the table that had just been overturned and even neatly Danzo aside.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Dodai had reason to suspect that if there hadn't been a shortage of time, Danzo would have even ironed the tablecloth before putting it on the table.

But that's not all; Danzo has another thoughtful service to provide.

Under the control of Yun Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo moved the only remaining chair behind the negotiation table.

Since this was the chair Danzo had sat in before, Yun Yan was clearly disgusted with it. At this moment, Danzo even used his sleeve to vigorously wipe the chair surface!

While wiping the chair, Danzo even used Wind Release Chakra to make the chair surface even smoother and cleaner, so clean that it could reflect light!

Now, Yun Yan was finally somewhat satisfied and no longer felt so uncomfortable with the chair.

After doing all this, Danzo did something that no one expected.

He suddenly lunged forward, lying flat on his stomach in front of the chair, under the table covered by the tablecloth.

What are you doing?

Soon, everyone knew the reason behind Danzo's action.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yun Yan plopped down in the chair behind the conference table and put his feet on the Danzo brand foot mat!
