Chapter 9 Win-Win
He said he was going to meet with the Kumogakure mission in the afternoon, but Tobirama didn't do that.
He just sent Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo to receive them. At the same time, he also explained to the other party that he had an emergency to solve here and that they would meet again after a while.
Senju Tobirama did this just to delay time.
As long as he just wants to delay, it's still very simple.
The next day, he asked someone to take the delegation from Kumogakure Village and walk around Konoha. If they saw something they wanted to eat, they would eat it. If they saw something they wanted to buy, they would buy it. Konoha would pay for everything.
Everyone in the not-so-wealthy envoy was very happy and started buying and buying.
But this little trick only delayed it for three days.
The average quality of those who can be sent to Konoha as envoys is still very high.
Three days later, seeing that Konoha had no intention of negotiating peace at all, and the people in the mission stopped going shopping, they began to become anxious.
Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, can drag it down, but Kumoyin Village of the Kingdom of Thunder cannot.
As the leader of the group, Tie Baoyi felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this. He decided to wait on the only way the second generation Hokage had to go to get off work, and he wanted to get a precise explanation no matter what.
Fortunately, Senju Tobirama had known that they would do this for a long time, and this guy actually used the Flying Thunder God Technique to commute to get off work.
When he opened his eyes, hey, he arrived at the Hokage's office.
As soon as I closed my eyes, hey I’m home!
Senju Tobirama: If you can, just keep waiting for me on the road, idiot!
This dragged on for another two days.
The iron bag was anxious like an ant in a hot pot, jumping up and down.
Every day Konoha delays, the other side of Kumogakure will suffer another day.
"Captain, how about we make things bigger and force the Second Hokage to see us?"
There are still capable people in the mission.
Seeing that Senju Tobirama has been avoiding them, then force him to take the initiative to come out and see them.
"Oh? What's your plan?"
"We can do this first, and then this."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"no problem."
It was the sixth day that the Kumogakure Village envoy came to Konoha.
I don't know where in the corner of Konoha it started. There were rumors that Konoha didn't care about the ninjas on the front line. Kumogakure came for peace, but the old one, Senju Tobirama, just avoided seeing them.
In order to secure his position as Hokage, he ignored the deaths of frontline ninjas and did not choose peace.
Is the life of a Konoha ninja so worthless?
That's right, the method chosen by the Kumogakure Mission was to spread rumors.
It has to be said that the rumor trick works so well no matter when it is used.
At this stage, there are not as many civilian ninjas in Konoha Village as there were in later periods.
Most of the ninjas who go to the battlefield are ninjas from the Konoha family.
Some smart people know that this is a rumor spread by the Kumogakure mission.
But most people believe that there may be no reason for the rumors to come out of nowhere.
They would think that after weakening the ninja family, Senju Tobirama, the second generation Hokage, would be able to sit comfortably.
The main reason is that Senju Tobirama is not as strong as his elder brother.
If he is so powerful, does he still need to care about what these ninja families think?
Dissatisfied?
Thousands of hands are waiting for you.
In addition to rumors, the Kumogakure mission also played the emotional card and distributed leaflets everywhere, saying that if the peace agreement was signed as soon as possible, the ninjas would be able to go home as soon as possible.
The cherry blossoms in Konoha Village are about to bloom, and the Konoha ninjas want to go home to see the cherry blossoms!
"These guys really went to great lengths to meet me."
In the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama looked at the flyer in his hand and smiled contemptuously.
"So teacher, when will you go to see them?"
"It doesn't matter. If we delay it for another two days, we will make them think that they forced me to meet, rather than me taking the initiative to meet with them. In this way, we can speak loudly at the negotiation table and continue to delay time."
"Understood."
Two more days have passed, and the major families in the village have begun to send people to inquire about the news.
Knowing that these people had begun to sit still, Senju Tobirama had no choice but to meet with the Kumogakure mission.
"Let me explain our bottom line first. The time is determined by us, and the location must be in Konoha Village. As long as we agree to these two conditions, we can continue to talk."
As soon as he sat on the chair in the conference room, he heard Konoha's outrageous conditions.
Of course the people on Kumogakure's side wouldn't do it.
The time is up to you?
It’s not that we can’t talk about this.
But it is absolutely impossible to place the negotiation venue in Konoha Village.
If you think about it from my perspective, Konoha will definitely not let the second Hokage go to Kumogakure.
Therefore, the two parties took the negotiation location as the focus of their dispute and began to argue with each other.
Konoha's side, from being tough at the beginning, to loosening later, to finally compromising.
We talked about the location for ten days.
"If we continue at this rate, we should be able to determine the location for the negotiations tomorrow."
"Ha, this is also thanks to the leader's good eloquence."
"Haha, the credit is not mine alone. When I get back to the village, I will take credit for each of you."
There was laughter and laughter in the hotel where the Kumogakure delegation stayed.
The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was also quite relaxed.
"They should be very proud now. It only took them ten days to get us to compromise on the negotiation location."
Having said that, Shimura Danzo looked very disdainful.
"They got the results they wanted, and we also completed the delaying plan. What is this called? This is called a win-win situation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite normal, he even had the intention to joke around.
"Hiruzhan, when did you become so hypocritical? Can this be called a win-win?"
"Duanzo, you're too old-fashioned. Why isn't this a win-win situation?"
Senju Tobirama also sees this as a win-win.
But it was different from what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
He believed that in addition to successfully delaying time, he also learned about some unstable factors in the Konoha ninja family.
Every family that came to him to inquire about the news a few days ago has been included in his little book. When the matter is over, he will have to settle accounts with them.
You see, he Senju Tobirama won twice, so how come it’s not a win-win?
He didn't explain to the two of them. Seeing that Hiruzen and Danzo were getting into an argument, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking now."
"If nothing else happens, the light curtain will be here soon."
Just as Senju Tobirama finished speaking one second, a light screen appeared directly in front of the three of them the next second.
"Haha, it seems my guess is correct."
"The official inventory video in the light curtain is once a month."
"If there is an extra video, the half-moon light curtain will appear again after the official inventory video."
Having correctly guessed the pattern of the light curtain's appearance, Qianju Tojian was somewhat proud of himself.
Fortunately, his mentality adjusted quickly. After smiling slightly, he began to look at the image on the light screen seriously.
