Chapter 106
Faced with the proposal of the major policy, Yoshiki shook his head firmly and refused, "I have already explained the truth clearly and clearly in the following moments! Now I will reiterate it again!
Konoha's dispatch of 1,000 reinforcements this time is already the psychological limit of major countries! If this number exceeds it, it is not a deterrent negotiation but a direct declaration of war on major ninja villages! Once the Second Ninja World War broke out in the Uzumaki Kingdom, the Uzumaki clan would not be able to escape unscathed! Even if the war finally won the victory, it would be difficult for the Uzumaki clan to survive!
All we can do now is to win a victory in the war, use this to deter the four ninja villages, and then use the seal ninja as a bargaining chip to reach a peace agreement with the four ninja villages through negotiations! This is the only way to preserve the Uzumaki clan! With the minds of everyone, you should be able to understand the truth?”
Yoshiki looked carefully at Damasaki and Yokota who were bowing their heads and pondering, and found that their eyes were not calm, which was completely inconsistent with the emotions they deliberately showed just now.
He knew that although these two people had conflicts, the enemy was in front of the enemy now, and it was impossible for them to tear each other apart in front of outsiders so easily. So the two were just acting just now! This kind of red-faced routine rope tree is very familiar with, and he only cooperated with Konoha's senior management yesterday to act in front of Uzumaki Takeaki. How could he be fooled by them and make concessions?
The corner of Shengshu's mouth raised slightly, and he swept the senior management of the vortex clan with a playful look, as if saying, "Don't play me, it's impossible for you to fool me!"
Uzumaki Damasato felt that Yoshiki's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "But... how can the Yoshiki patriarch win the war with the 1,000 ninja army and then intimidate the countries?"
"There is a complete plan for the next war!
Before this, I need to correct a wrong statement from the leader of the Damasatsu. We are not only 1,000 reinforcements from Konoha! Now in Uzumi, there are 3,000 to 4,000 ninjas from Konoha in the combined Uzumi clan!
And we can only achieve victory if we concentrate all our strengths together!
I believe everyone should also know that I have had experience commanding S-level war missions? So I ask you to give you the command of the Ninja Army in the Uzumaki Kingdom!" Yoshiki took the opportunity to express his thoughts.
Uzumaki frowned when he heard Yokoki's request. After pondering for a moment, he gave Yokota a faint wink.
"What? Konoha wants our land and people but it is not enough? Now the leader of the Yokoki tribe wants our ninja army again? It is impossible for us ninjas of the Uzumaki tribe to accept command from outsiders!" Regardless of whether Yokoki saw anything, Yokota simply opposed it to the end.
"Elder Yokota is so serious! I just want the command of your Ninja Army in this war, and it will be returned naturally after the mission is over. If the ninjas on both sides cannot command uniformly, it will be difficult to win the war!" Yokoki was not angry because of Yokota's sarcasm, and looked patiently explaining.
"No matter what the reason is, as a guest, he actually asked the host to obey the orders, don't the leader of the Rope Tree feel it's too much?"
"Although it sounds a bit unreasonable, I would like to apologize for the rescue mission!"
Looking at Yokoki's righteous look, Yokota showed his trump card with a angrily smile: "Even if we don't agree to your request, in order to complete the task, you must ensure the safety of our Uzumaki clan! As far as I know, in the major ninja villages, the consequences of the failure of the mission are very serious!"
Yokoki raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Is Elder Yokota threatening me? Does the Damasato clan leader mean the same?"
This time, Uzumaki Damasaki did not continue to blush, but said with a heavy face: "The requirements of the Yokoku Tribe Chief are too harsh. Our Uzumaki Country cannot hand over the Ninja Army to other countries for command! If the Yokoku Tribe Chief has any plans, we might as well say it, we can cooperate with it with all our strength! But if you want the command of the Ninja Army... I really can't obey your duty!"
After receiving support from Da Zheng, Yokota said with a proud look: "I have said a long time ago that Konoha has no sincerity at all. With the age of this Yokoki clan leader, what good idea can he come up with?
In my opinion, since Konoha does not keep his promise, there is no need for us, the Uzumaki clan to abide by the agreement and join Konoha!
Why don’t we throw out the entire Ume Country and Seal Ninjutsu now, so that the Kingdom of Fire will compete with the major countries!
In order to complete the war mission of Daming, Konoha will definitely fight to the death with the major ninja villages. Our Uzumaki tribe can take this opportunity to move to a neutral country! With our strength and financial resources, we can completely rebuild a ninja village in any small country, which is much better than relying on others to see others' faces!
Thank you to the leader of the Rose Tree for coming up with such a brilliant plan for us! But you may not have thought that our Uzumaki clan could completely abandon Konoha and save himself in his own way!"
Yokota proudly said his plan to destroy the bridge across the river. The elders of the Uzumaki clan nodded in favor, and even the Uzumaki Dazheng was a little moved. If he could continue to be a leader, who would be willing to join others as his subordinates? Most people would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
But if he really did what Yokota said, he would be the most ruthless, and the prestige of the clan leader would also be challenged by the branch lineage. So Da Zheng did not make a statement immediately, but chose to wait and see.
When Konoha Kanin heard this, his face changed drastically, his expression was either worried or angry, and those who were impulsive were ready to start arguing.
But at this moment, Rose Tree suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha..."
The laughter of Rose Tree was loud and sharp, and it sounded a bit nervous. If a time traveler was present, you would definitely hear that this was a Stephen Chow-like laugh.
Everyone present was attracted by the strange laughter of Rope Tree. They didn't understand why the mature teenager who had been acting calm and composed suddenly made such hysterical laughter?
But Rose Tree didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and she raised her head and laughed unscrupulously, and she laughed endlessly, and it continued for a long time without any signs of stopping.
This kind of creepy laughter made everyone feel a little panicked, and the senior executives of the Uzumaki clan became suspicious. What's so funny?
"Ahem, I wonder why the leader of the Yoshiki tribe laughed?" Uzumaki Damasato was a little guilty when he laughed, and couldn't help asking.
"You finally asked, and my throat was itchy with laughter..." Shengshu continued acting while complaining in his stomach. He wiped the corners of his eyes and flicked the tears that did not exist with his fingers, and gasped and said, "Haa...ha...sorry! I'm losing my composure! But Elder Yokota's words just now were really... so funny! Hahaha... I can't help laughing, just thinking about it, let me laugh again...hahaha..."
After hearing what Yokoki said, Yokota said with awkward expression: "Hmph! It's mysterious."
Yoko took a deep breath and seemed to calm his emotions, then said with a smile: "The neutral country mentioned by Elder Yokota refers to the country of rain and grass? Now the three directions of the Eutropium are surrounded by east, south and north. The only way out is the country of fire to the west. Have you ever thought that if the Uzumaki clan betrayed the covenant Konoha would easily let you pass through the border?"
Of course Yokota had considered this issue. He said without hesitation: "As a condition attached to Uzumaki's country, Daming has promised to ensure the safety and property of Uzumaki's family! Does the Yoshiki's patriarch want to violate the mission and attack Uzumaki's country?"
Yoshiki shook his head and said, "The Uzumaki clan is close relatives with the Thousand Hand clan. Although you are not kind, I cannot be unrighteous... But without the cooperation of our Konoha reinforcements, how could the Uzumaki ask the Uzumaki to pursue each country like a wolf or a tiger? And Konoha will not put the betrayer into the country!"
Yokota retorted disapprovingly: "What the four major ninjas want is the seal ninjas of our Uzumaki clan. As long as they achieve their goal, they will not pursue us relentlessly. As for other small countries, ninjas are not worth worrying about. If the Fire Kingdom wants to obtain the territory of Uzumaki, it must fight with ninjas from various countries. At that time, Konoha is already too busy to take care of how to stop the Uzumaki ninjas, we are just using the way..."
Yokoki interrupted with a smile, "Haha... Elder Yokota is too naive. Without Konoha's deterrence, you are just fish to major countries. With the current economic situation of each country, will they let go of the property of the Uzumaki clan? Unless you are willing to give up everything and leave the house in vain! How can you rebuild the ninja village after you have no wealth? Then you will find it difficult for you to support your tribe!"
Yokoki glanced at Yokota with a ugly face and continued to attack: "As for Konoha fighting to the death for the four major ninja villages for Uzumaki Country? That's just your willingness!
I might as well tell you that the task given to us by Daming is indeed to protect the Uzumaki clan and assist Daming's army in occupying the territory of the Uzumaki country, but the mission scroll does not specify the time and number of rescuers!
Konoha only needs to block the docks along the coast of the Fire Country to block the Uzumaki's retreat! After that, we can completely watch the siege of the Uzumaki by various countries. The ultimate goal of the four major ninja villages is to seal the wealth of the Ninjutsu and Uzumaki's wealth, which has no contradiction with our mission. When they get what they want, they will naturally retreat!
By then we only need to defeat the small country army and ninjas stranded in Uzumi Country to help Daming obtain Uzumi Country’s land!
However, how many people can be left in the Uzumaki clan in a year or two? But you can rest assured! In order to complete the rescue mission, we will definitely send all the orphans of the Uzumaki country to Konoha and help the Uzumaki clan continue their bloodline inheritance! But... I am afraid that everyone who is sitting here will not see that scene! Elder Yokota does not hesitate to bear the infamy and violates the covenant, but digs a grave for his own tribe members. This is really ridiculous!"
After hearing the way of dealing with Yokota, he said with a cold sweat on his head and said with a pale face: "You actually want to use the loopholes in the mission rules to limit the vortex clan? You have already thought about these things, right? It's really sinister and despicable!"
Yokoki smiled with contempt and said, "Haha... Elder Yokota should reflect on his behavior before saying these words? If the Uzumaki clan had not wanted to take the alliance first, how could I use this method to deal with my allies? This is just a forced response method. After all, I am obliged to be on guard."
As Yokota said, Yokoki had long thought of restricting the Uzumaki clan. He always speculated on these politicians with the greatest malicious intention. What if they were not tied up if they bite it back? Now this chain really came in handy.
If Rose Tree really did what he said, the Uzumaki clan would fall into an extremely unfavorable situation, and the fate of this island country would never be under its control.
Seeing that the situation was not good for one side, Uzumaki Dazheng secretly thanked that he had not made any rash statement before, and continued to save the situation with a red face. "Don't misunderstand, the only one who was just Elder Yokota was thinking, he could not represent the Uzumaki clan! We have been intimidated with the Thousand Hand clan for generations. When Konoha was established, how could he do something treacherous when he became an allies?"
"Oh? The leader of the Damasatsu means that Elder Yokota wants to destroy the alliance between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha? Should you give us Konoha an explanation for such bad behavior? You can't expose this matter with the reason of being silent for a moment, right?" Yokoki couldn't let the other party go easily this time.
Uzumaki Damasato said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reply."
"Elder Yokota deliberately destroyed the covenant between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha, and it was a very serious crime to trap our clan in unjustice. Thinking of his hard work and great contributions, I decided to remove all positions of Elder Yokota and make him think of his mistakes behind closed doors to punish him! Do you have any objections?" Uzumaki announced his verdict with a serious face. He also wanted to take this opportunity to attack his branch's arrogance, so he did not hesitate to treat Yokota as an abandoned son to calm the matter.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the political rule. If Yokota successfully suppresses Konoha today, he will rise sharply, and even use this to replace the position of Uzumaki Dazheng to gain the highest voice of the Uzumaki clan. However, if he fails now, he will have to pay the corresponding price. Therefore, no one will plead for him, and the elders of each branch have expressed their support and drawn a clear line with Yokota to avoid being implicated.
Even Yokota did not defend himself, but chose to accept punishment. Although he had temporarily lost all his positions, he was still the helm of the strongest branch. As long as the strength of his tribe members was not damaged, the connections he had established over the years he had been in power, he was still the core of all branches, just to stay in seclusion behind the scenes.
"Is the leader of the Rose Tree satisfied with this punishment?" Da Zheng asked with a gentle look on his face.
Yodoki knew that the Uzumaki clan could not have made substantial punishments to Yokota for the previous incident. Now the best result is now, so he does not intend to engage in more trouble. "The Grandmaster's clan is fair and strict, and I admire him. We pretended that the previous incident had not happened. The agreement between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha was still valid, and we will do our best to rescue the Uzumaki clan.
