Chapter 226 Recruitment from various countries (Subscription required)

"During the meeting of the Rain Country, the teams of the Wind Country and the Sand Village suddenly left the meeting because the tailed beast was captured by the Akatsuki organization."

"Afterwards, according to the proposal of the new monarch of the Rain Country, Akebi, we continued the parliament."

"In the parliament, representatives of various countries once again raised the issue of resources and land packaged and sold at low prices raised by Akebi before, but this time, Akebi's attitude was completely different. He proposed to re-issue the topic and start negotiating the conditions from the beginning!"

"And the reason why he is so confident is that the Rain Country has won the entry of the ninja family, the original Konoha Hyuga clan!"

As the country of the samurai In the capital of the Iron Country,

In the Shogun's residence,

A middle-aged man with a full beard and a thin body was listening to his subordinates' reports with a serious face. He said in a cold voice, "Quickly pass the news to Okisuke, and try to secretly win Hyuga to our Iron Country."

"And... Rijiao, you organize a diplomatic team now and go to the Fire Country as soon as possible to meet the head of the Hyuga family before Konoha moves to explain our goodwill..."

One afternoon later, when the messenger galloped back to the Hot Spring Country under the cover of night,

In the residence of the daimyo of the Entertainment Country, a slightly fat bald man was rolling a cigar.

"Hyuga..." He hesitated and murmured, but made a decisive decision. He looked at the soup ninja jonin beside him and ordered, "Be careful, hide your identity and try to contact the Hyuga family, and tell them the conditions we can offer." "And if they are tempted and willing to change to another country to settle in, tell them the truth about our faction." "But if they don't accept, we must not reveal our identity. We are currently a neutral country and do not participate in the disputes in the ninja world." After the news that the Hyuga will move to the Rain Country was confirmed, not only the Fire Country, but also other countries also had a big reaction. The first to know, of course, were the allied countries going to the Rain Country. The representatives of the various countries' forces had already passed the news back to their respective countries before the news was confirmed. Including the two neutral countries of the Iron Country and the Soup Country, the monarchs, daimyo, and generals of each country issued almost the same orders, that is, to recruit the Hyuga clan. They even gathered a diplomatic team in a short time and went to Konoha in the Fire Country to negotiate directly with Hyuga Hiashi. The one who moved the fastest was, of course, the monarch of the Snow Country, Fenghua Nutao.

He personally went from the Snow Country to the Rain Country to participate in the Rain Country meeting.

Because he was the monarch, after the meeting was suspended, he went directly to the Hyuga team in the Rain Country and met with Hyuga Iroha.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Iroha gave him a very clear answer.

He was just a person who followed orders. If he wanted to negotiate matters in this regard, he could go to Konoha and talk in detail with the head of the Hyuga family who made the decision and issued the order.

As a monarch, Fenghua Nutao was also a decisive person. After directly entrusting the affairs of the Rain Country to his snow ninjas, he reassembled a team and went directly from the Rain Country to Konoha. So he was the fastest person among several forces to arrive in Konoha and meet Hyuga Hiashi.

"I'm sorry, we have reached an agreement with the Rain Country. If we suddenly change our minds, it will seem very insincere."

The Hyuga clan, the main family.

After Fenghua Nutao arrived at Konoha, he paid a visit to the door as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, his idea was quickly rejected by Hyuga Hiashi as soon as he mentioned it.

Just kidding, this issue involves the credibility of a force. If the cooperation partner is changed at will, then Hyuga's promise is a bit too casual and childish.

If the target is Konoha, there can be some explanation, and compensation can be made to the Rain Country.

But once the target is changed from the Rain Country to the Snow Country, the current situation of the Rain Country will become very embarrassing, and Hyuga's credibility in the ninja world will become extremely low.

Besides... the Snow Country is not a suitable choice.

"Please give it some thought, Hyuga clan leader!"

Although Feng Hana Nutao looked like a tough guy, he was surprisingly able to lower his status. "We have the most advanced technology in the Ninja world in the Snow Country. If Hyuga needs it, we can invest more resources to equip each combat member of Hyuga with a set of suitable armor!"

"I'm sorry."

But this condition did not even make Hyuga Hiashi's tone hesitate a bit.

Auxiliary combat ninja tools? They are also researching in their clan.

It is no secret in Konoha that the Snow Country has advanced chakra armor research and development technology.

Once, Kakashi from the village had gone deep into the Snow Country to carry out missions and confronted the owner of the chakra armor head-on.

Although from the intelligence, the chakra armor of the Snow Country is indeed a good technology that can greatly improve the combat power of the ninja, but the talents are not only in the Snow Country, nor is it only in the Snow Country that chakra armor with auxiliary combat functions can be developed.

Hyuga Hiashi's attitude is very firm, which also makes Feng Hana Nutao leave with regret.

If Hyuga is unwilling, the Snow Country has no way to do anything.

However, before leaving, Hyuga Hiashi still made a friendly promise that as allies in the future, there will be many opportunities for cooperation.

After Fenghua Nutao came to visit, many representatives of forces came to visit, hoping to win over Hyuga.

There are the Iron Country, the Craftsman Country, the Hot Spring Country...

And Hyuga Hiashi politely rejected their lobbying one by one.

Among them, of course, there are some people who are unwilling to reveal their own forces and only state the conditions for winning over. Hyuga Hiashi treats them equally.

In addition to other forces coming to win over Hyuga one after another, the Hyuga family also wants to win over other forces.

"I'm really sorry, Ryosuke!"

With his hair combed like a watermelon, Rock Lee closed his eyes tightly and bowed 90 degrees to apologize, "Although I am very grateful for Ryosuke's care for me over the years, it is impossible for Mr. Kai to leave Konoha, so I..."

Rock Lee struggled in his heart.

On the one hand, he was a friend who led him in finding a good teacher, and over the years, Hyuga would occasionally support him in medical treatment and equipment. He knew very well that this was all because of Ryosuke, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the other party.

But on the other hand, he is also a mentor with whom he has been with for many years. It was Might Guy who made him a ninja when he could not use ninjutsu. Both of these are extremely important to Rock Lee, so he is a little difficult to choose. "No need to be like this, Xiao Li." Ryosuke smiled helplessly, "I just mentioned it casually. Even if you refuse, you don't have to feel guilty." "No one wants to leave Konoha for no reason, and I am the same." "But the young birds will always leave the warm nest, spread their wings and conquer the sky. We Hyuga are just doing what we should do at this stage." As he spoke, he waved to Rock Lee, "We agreed to have a meal together before leaving. If you do this, you can't eat this meal." In his heart, Ryosuke was not surprised that Rock Lee rejected him. On the contrary, he really did as he said, just mentioned it casually with a try-and-see attitude. Investment is like this, it is something that is difficult to predict whether it will pay off. When he was a child, his words and favors to Rock Lee and other people in the village were just casual. In fact, Ryosuke could not fully predict whether it would bear fruit in the end, whether it was the attitude of the investors or his own attitude. Life is so changeable. If everything can be planned and carried out according to the plan, it would not be like a real life. "Ryosuke..." Rock Lee raised his thick eyebrows and was easily moved to tears. He felt more and more guilty, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to repay Ryosuke's kindness after this separation. There are actually many people like Rock Lee in the village. Hyuga has accumulated a lot of connections in Konoha for so many years. Not only the major families, but also those ordinary ninja families and even civilians, they have contacted them. And this time, they also selected those who are worth recruiting and can try to recruit from these connections, and secretly invited these people. Hyuga Hiashi was responsible for entertaining those who came to win them over, while Ryosuke, Hinata and others were responsible for secretly winning over the connections they had accumulated over the years to see if anyone was willing to leave with them.

However, it was obvious that because the temporary decision was a bit hasty and many things were not yet prepared, not many people responded to them.

Of course, part of the reason was that the Konoha high-level officials, including Jiraiya, had anticipated this matter in advance and guessed that they would not easily abandon the accumulation of these years and would definitely take action,

so they held a meeting in advance to appease people's hearts, so that more people did not leave with them.

As for these things, both the Hyuga family and Konoha tacitly did not interfere with each other.

This was a peaceful solution based on the relative balance of combat power between each other.

"But it's great that it went smoothly."

At night,

After a tiring day, Hinata rested lazily at home, "I was a little worried that I would have disputes with some people in the village."

"After all, this kind of thing is a bit like when a husband and wife divorce, the wife not only takes the children away, but also pries away a large sum of wealth, leaving the husband who has lost his home in financial difficulties."

If a family migrates and leaves Konoha, it will inevitably cost a price before it can be successfully achieved, and it may even be directly wiped out by the entire family.

And if it is a family that has a good relationship with Konoha, such as Ino-Shika-Cho, it is very likely that it is because of some tasks, such as some strategies to develop the Konoha branch village of the Iron Country.

Of course, if the migration object is replaced by the Uchiha who has been exterminated, there may be no way to communicate in a friendly manner, and the village may define it as a rebellion of the entire family.

The fact that the Hyuga clan could leave Konoha peacefully and even secretly poach people from Konoha was within their expectations, but it was also beyond their expectations, because things went so smoothly that some of the back-up plans were not used. "But I'm really reluctant to leave here." But soon, Hinata became sentimental again, "We have already migrated part by part according to the plan." "According to the current progress, in about two weeks, our entire clan should be able to leave Konoha smoothly."

As she spoke, she stood up, walked to the courtyard, and looked at the starry night sky.

Two weeks later, perhaps I will stand in another place and look at this night sky.

Ryosuke also stood up and came to her side, "You should be very melancholy, with a feeling of... emptiness?"

Hinata nodded, "Very uncomfortable, with a feeling of panic."

This emotion has not appeared in her for a long time. Since she made up her mind to change when she was four years old, these cowardly emotions have rarely occupied her mind.

"After all, you have been in Konoha almost 99% of the time since you were born."

Reaching out his palm naturally, Ryosuke held her cold little hand tightly and wrapped it tightly in his palm, "The road of life, the life you have to contact and face at each stage is different. When you get used to separation, you won't have so much melancholy."

"Besides... I will accompany you, and so will my father and Hanabi."

Compared with Hinata, who has relatively little experience, Ryosuke has long been accustomed to this separation.

Whenever entering a strange environment, it is natural for newcomers who have no life and social experience to feel hesitant and uneasy.

Even he would have similar emotions at the beginning.

But once you get used to leaving your comfort zone, you will slowly become like a seasoned veteran, and can easily adapt to every environment.

Whether it is leaving a familiar school or switching jobs from a company where you are like a fish in water, you can quickly face a new life. This is also a kind of growth, a forced and active growth.

"Hmm..."

Hinata responded slightly, and moved closer to Ryosuke.

Feeling the familiar smell and warm touch from the other person, she tightened her hand held by the other person.

In fact, this comfort did not make Hinata feel more at ease. Instead, it made her start to think about her future life.

Just like Hinata will eventually leave Konoha for better development,

in the future, for better growth, I will inevitably leave Ryosuke's protection and face all kinds of difficulties.

But...can I really be prepared for this? Can I really stand on my own?

This self-doubt reminds Hinata of her life before she was four years old.

Her personality was changed by Ryosuke, and her confidence was also brought by Ryosuke.

Many things happened, and after growing up, she thought about it a little bit, and she knew clearly that the other party had deliberately arranged it.

But... after all, it was not the step she took, so there is still some difference.

Compared with the weak and ignorant self at the beginning, although the current self is weak, it is still very good at thinking, so Hinata rationally understands her current situation.

So what is the source of Ryosuke's confidence?
