Chapter 35 Preparation before Negotiation
After a somewhat simple farewell ceremony.
Danzo and his group then set out on their negotiation journey.
In the team, there are Danzo, Shikasui and Tofu who were originally planned.
Two more jonin, Umino Ikkaku and Yuhi Shinku, were added as guards.
At the end of the team were three ninjas wearing masks and dressed as ANBU.
One of them looked like a child.
And it's a girl.
They are none other than Yamanaka Zen, Uchiha Kei and Ye Cang.
Originally, Danzo was planning to take Orochimaru with him.
But this person only coveted Hashirama's body.
Put all your energy into this.
Therefore, he rejected Danzo's invitation.
As for Ye Cang...
The next plan is for her.
As the protagonist, how could he not appear in person?
Danzo, who had already made a plan in his mind, showed a look of determination to win.
If it were based on the personality of the previous life.
I have already brainwashed her with the Uchiha style illusion technique.
There's no need to go through so much trouble.
Oh, I am so kind.
I praised myself in my heart using all the beautiful words I could think of.
Danzo led the team on the journey happily.
......
At this time in Konoha, there were no other enemies in the open.
Therefore, this journey was very smooth.
Not even a single bandit was seen.
However, Ye Cang's chakra was sealed.
As a result, she had to rely solely on physical strength to travel.
In the end, it took Danzo and his group a total of three days.
They arrived at Shuomao's camp with only one day left before the negotiations were to begin.
Looking at Shuomao and others who had received the news in advance and came to greet him personally outside the camp.
Danzo quickly smiled, stepped forward, and shook Sakumo's hand.
Now is the time to put on a show.
He affirmed the achievements of the ninjas present, and then wrote a bunch of blank checks.
All the ninjas present cheered.
Just like that, surrounded by the crowd, Danzo came to Sakumo's tent.
Looking at the tent in front of him, Danzo felt deeply moved.
It would be nice if there was a Wood Release Ninja.
Tents are never as comfortable as cabins.
After finishing things here, I have to take some time to look for Tianzang who is still a baby.
The "three-bedroom and one-living-room technique" must be mastered from the root.
"Master Danzo, is there anything we need to do in this negotiation?"
The polite words have been spoken and the show has been performed.
Shuomao spoke first, ready to discuss business.
Although there are still doubts as to why the Sandaime-sama sent Danzo here.
But in the end, Sakumo could only comfort himself by saying that "the higher-ups may have other arrangements."
After all, Hatake Sakumo's greatest strength is that he obeys orders.
"Nothing, you just need to do a good job of security."
After hearing what Sakumo said, Danzo answered without much thought.
He naturally understood the hidden meaning in Sakumo's words.
I swear to God, I really had no intention of causing any trouble during this negotiation.
Seeing that Danzo had no intention of letting himself do anything shameful.
Sakumo also breathed a sigh of relief.
After fighting for such a long time, these front-line ninjas are completely tired of war.
Comrades around me kept sacrificing their lives.
Sometimes, a good friend who greets you warmly during the day may become just broken pieces when you meet him/her next time.
This kind of thing happens frequently on the battlefield.
Shuomao was heartbroken when he saw this.
Although he looks tough, he is actually a very delicate man at heart.
Everyone who has fought alongside Sakumo knows this.
In his heart, the lives of his comrades are far more important than his own.
Therefore, Sakumo was able to win the respect of all Konoha ninjas on the battlefield.
Even Jiraiya looked serious in front of him.
Looking at Sakumo in front of him, Danzo couldn't help but sigh.
It’s a pity that such an elite person eventually died because of village rumors.
No, just transfer him to the base after the war.
I just don't know if Hiruzen is willing to let him go.
With the intention of winning over the other party, Danzo was not in a hurry to end the conversation between the two parties.
Instead, they started chatting about family matters.
Prepare to improve your favorability.
Although Sakumo himself felt strange, he did not refuse.
Finally, an hour later, everyone saw the two people walking out of the tent, talking and laughing.
......
Danzo, in a good mood, accompanied by Uchiha Qing, came to the place where Yekura was resting.
"What's your business?"
Ye Cang took off his mask, his eyes were cold and his tone was unfriendly.
Danzo didn't mind it at all.
He raised his hand to stop Uchiha Qing who wanted to step forward and teach the other party a lesson.
Danzo put his hands behind his back, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I will take you with me to tomorrow's negotiations."
"After the negotiations are completed, whether you want to stay in Konoha or return to Sunagakure, I will no longer interfere."
After hearing what Danzo said, Ye Cang looked at him as if he was a fool.
Am I crazy or stupid for choosing to stay in Konoha?
Although she herself is a war orphan and has no relatives in the Sand Village.
But she is not from Konoha after all.
Why should I stay in Konoha Village and work for you?
Ye Cang himself was aware of Danzo's intention to recruit him.
After all, who can provide prisoners with three meals a day on time, and eat better than they do in Sunagakure?
And the place they live in is a detached villa with three bedrooms and a living room.
Every day there is a female Anbu to take care of his daily life.
To be fair, the living environment in Konoha is indeed much better than that in Sunagakure.
But this cannot be a reason for oneself to rebel.
The education that Ye Cang received over the years prevented her from betraying her village easily.
Therefore, she just thought that the uncle in front of her was too confident in his personal charm.
I have absolutely no idea of the reality.
Danzo naturally understood Ye Cang's thoughts.
But he didn't say much and took Uchiha Qing away.
As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Jiraiya coming to greet me.
"Oh my, isn't this Danzo-sama?"
Letting out his signature laugh, Jiraiya naturally came to Danzo's side.
"How's it going, Minato, is his training going well?"
After telling Jiraiya about Minato's recent situation truthfully, Danzo also told him that the boy had basically mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Hearing this Jiraiya immediately recalled what he was doing when he was Minato's age.
He was shocked to find that he was just a poor last-place student at that time.
If there is any achievement...
That is to say, he created a ninjutsu of his own.
"The technique of throwing all the shurikens."
Feeling the difference between genius and ordinary people.
Jiraiya told Danzo that Sakumo had hosted a small welcoming party for them in the evening.
Let them not refuse.
