The envoy from the Land of Lightning took out a scroll from his robes and slowly unfurled it. "This is the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and Raikage's plan to divide the Land of Fire. According to this plan, the north of the Land of Fire will belong to the Land of Lightning, the south will belong to the Land of Wind, and the central region will be distributed according to the contributions of each country. The Land of Hot Water, as our ally, will receive a portion of the central region. Furthermore, we will guarantee the interests of the Land of Hot Water Land of Hot Water, allowing its nobles to continue enjoying wealth and luxury."
Upon hearing this, a glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the nobles of the Land of Hot Water: "Then how will our contributions be calculated?"
The envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled, "Noble representatives of the Land of Hot Water, your contributions are certainly important. As long as you can send troops to assist us, we will certainly distribute the corresponding benefits to you according to the plan. Moreover, our Land of Lightning will fully support you, allowing you to play a greater role in the war."
The nobles of the Land of Hot Water listened in silence for a moment, then said, "Very well, on behalf of the nobles of the Land of Hot Water, I agree to join your alliance. However, I hope you will keep your promises, otherwise we, the nobles of the Land of Hot Water, will not stand idly by."
The envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Nobles of the Land of Hot Water, rest assured, our Land of Lightning will certainly keep its promise. We believe that with our joint efforts, we will definitely be able to defeat Konoha and claim a share of the spoils."
The daimyo of the Land of Hot Water watched their conversation, his eyes flashing with changing emotions. At first, he didn't take it seriously, finding the Land of Lightning's proposal somewhat absurd. But as the Land of Lightning's envoy continued to persuade him, he began to waver. When he heard the Land of Lightning's envoy's plan to divide the land, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes. Finally, when he heard the noble representative of the Land of Hot Water agree to join the alliance, he made up his mind.
The daimyo of the Land of Hot Water stood up and said, "On behalf of the Land of Hot Water, I agree to join your alliance. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat Konoha and get a share of the spoils. However, I hope you will keep your promises, otherwise the Land of Hot Water will not stand idly by."
The envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water, rest assured, our Land of Lightning will certainly keep its promise. I believe that with our joint efforts, we will definitely be able to defeat Konoha and claim a share of the spoils."
Negotiations for alliances were taking place among nobles in various countries, and all alliances were eventually formed. After all, in the eyes of the nobles, they were the true rulers of this world, and ninjas were merely their tools. Now, tools were to try to become rulers, which was absolutely unacceptable.
The daimyo of the Land of Iron, however, was a forthright man. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "What's there to be afraid of! When have we nobles ever suffered such humiliation! No matter how powerful those ninjas of the Land of Fire are, they can't withstand the combined strength of the nobles of our various nations. Since the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning dared to propose this plan, he must have his reasons. The nobles of the Land of Iron are willing to be the first to stand up and respond!"
The daimyo of the Land of Rivers was a shrewd man. He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can't act rashly. The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's plan is excellent, but you must give us a clear promise. If we succeed, how will the wealth of the Land of Fire be divided? If we fail, how will we handle the aftermath?"
Seeing this, the envoy from the Land of Lightning knew this was a crucial juncture. He said solemnly, "The Daimyo has promised that if successful, the wealth of the Land of Fire will be distributed according to the contributions of the nobles of each country. Those who contribute the most will naturally receive the most benefits. If any noble is dissatisfied, our Daimyo will also use the resources of the Land of Lightning to support you. However, to ensure everyone's safety, we must patiently develop our military strength and wait for the opportune moment to launch our attack."
With the envoy pledging the vast territory bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers, a thousand miles apart, the daimyo of the Land of Rivers finally agreed to the alliance and pledged to significantly develop his military in support of it.
In the Land of Sound, the daimyo was a refined middle-aged man. He smiled slightly and said, "The nobles of the Land of Sound have always been renowned for their music and art. We do not seek wealth, but only a broader stage to showcase our talents under the new order. If the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning can guarantee this, the nobles of the Land of Sound are willing to join the alliance."
The noble chieftain of the Land of Grass was a young woman. She frowned slightly and said, "Our Land of Grass is vast and sparsely populated; our greatest fear is the spread of war. Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, can you guarantee that our land will not be destroyed by war?"
The envoy from the Land of Lightning nodded hastily. "Of course. The Daimyo has already made arrangements. Once war begins, we will prioritize the safety of the nobles of all nations. Even after the Land of Fire is destroyed, this world will still be our noble world; the noble homeland is sacred and inviolable."
The daimyo of the Land of the Moon was a taciturn old man. He slowly spoke, "The nobles of the Land of the Moon have always been peaceful and unassuming. However, the Land of Fire has helped us, and we are well aware of the tyranny of the Land of Lightning. We cannot stand by and watch as the Land of Fire is destroyed? What if the Land of Lightning comes to destroy the Land of the Moon then?"
The envoy from the Land of Lightning laughed and said, "First of all, your Land of the Moon was destroyed in the First Shinobi World War, but we didn't kill any nobles, did we? This is the fundamental difference between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire. Secondly, the nobles of our Land of Lightning guarantee that we will not invade your Land of the Moon after we destroy the Land of Fire. This can be included in the alliance agreement, with all the nobles of the world acting as guarantors. What do you say?"
The daimyo of the Land of the Moon said, "In that case, the nobles of my Land of the Moon are also willing to contribute."
The noble chief of the Land of Birds was a tall man. He laughed heartily, "The nobles of the Land of Birds value freedom above all else. As long as we can break free from the shackles of the Land of Fire, the nobles of the Land of Birds are willing to go all out. As for the distribution of spoils, I believe the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will give us a fair deal."
The noble chief of the Land of Rain was a young man with a resolute gaze. "The nobles of the Land of Rain have always been suppressed by the three great powers. This time, we must rise up and take charge. The nobles of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning fully support the daimyo's plan in the Land of Rain of Lightning. As for the distribution of profits, I believe everyone here is intelligent and will naturally come up with a fair solution."
In the end, even most of the nobles of the Land of Fire chose to support the alliance proposal put forward by the Land of Lightning. It was simply because Tian Flying Swallow was too domineering, suppressing the nobles and supporting the commoners. In addition, what right did a woman have to be a queen? There were many people who were Tian Flying Swallow with Tian Flying Swallow, but they were just enduring it out of fear of her power. Now that they had the opportunity to get rid of Tian Flying Swallow, they were naturally happy to do so.
Through the skillful mediation of the envoy from the Land of Lightning, the nobles of various countries finally reached an agreement. They sent representatives to the Land of Iron in secret to sign an alliance agreement, which detailed the responsibilities and distribution of benefits among the nobles of each country in their joint fight against the Land of Fire. The agreement was covered with the signatures of the nobles from each country, as if foreshadowing a storm that was about to sweep across the Shinobi World.
With a satisfied smile, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning left the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Iron. He knew that this secret alliance had taken its most crucial step. The next step was for each side to develop its military strength, and Konoha in the Land of Fire was about to face an unprecedented challenge.
