While Hanzo and Genji were deciding on the candidates for the Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, Kei Nara, the representative of Konoha, and Sunazuki, the representative of Sunagakure, who were far away in the Iron Kingdom, were also having a fierce debate.

The subject of this debate is naturally the issue of land exchange between the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Wind.

It was inconvenient for the top leaders of the two villages to meet, so they left the matter to the representatives in the Iron Kingdom to take full responsibility.

Of course, it is said that they have full power, but in fact, both Hanzo and Liedu have naturally drawn a bottom line for them in private.

I saw Nara Kei spreading his hands, pretending to be helpless and saying: "Mr. Sunazuki, let me tell you directly. According to the news from the village, the condition given by the Hokage is a land exchange at a ratio of 1:2. I personally think this

There is no problem with the conditions. After all, although the Country of Wind is large in area, that large desert is actually of little significance to either the Country of Sichuan or Konoha."

Faced with Nara Kei's deliberate disparagement, Sunatsuki would not sit still and wait for death.

Being sent to the Iron Country by Sunagakure as Sunagakure's representative at the Five Kage Conference, his diplomacy and negotiation skills are also very strong.

Sage smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Nara's words are a bit overgeneralized.

It’s true that the land of our Country of Wind is a desert, but the placer gold veins unique to our Country of Wind are often discovered in the desert. If such a large area of ​​land is discovered, wouldn’t Konoha make a lot of money once the placer gold veins are discovered?”

Nara Kei shook his head: "Mr. Sunazuki, although the value of this placer gold is high, whether you can find it or not is a gamble. If you fail to gamble, Konoha and I will only gain a pile of sand from this land exchange.

With such a high risk, the village was originally unwilling to exchange land. However, in view of the fact that the five major ninja villages are one, Lord Hokage persuaded the elders to agree to the land exchange. I think we have made a huge concession by agreeing to the land exchange.

Yeah, Sunagakure really shouldn’t ignore this.”

Nara Kei said that the choked Sunatsuki was speechless for a moment.

As an excellent diplomat, he actually agreed with Nara Kei's views.

But as the saying goes, one's position determines one's own affairs. In this position, sometimes the butt determines the head.

However, in the current situation, Sunagakure has too few chips. As a diplomat, Sunagakure has no bargaining chips, so the room for maneuver is naturally small.

After hesitating for a moment, he could only take a step back and said: "What Mr. Nara said makes sense, but the ratio of 1:2 is a bit exaggerated. Taking into account the possibility of placer gold veins, I think 1:1.25 is more appropriate.

."

Sunazuki's words were considered as acknowledgment of Konoha's idea of ​​exchanging small things for big ones.

In fact, the senior officials of Sunagakure had expected that Konoha would make a fuss in this regard.

His family knew his own affairs, and Sunagakure knew that he had little choice, so Lie Dou also hinted to Sunagakure that he could make concessions in this regard if necessary.

However, concessions are concessions, and this 1:2 requirement is really beyond Sunagakure's bottom line.

You know, when it comes to changing the land, the pressure that Sunagakure endures is different from that of Konoha.

Konoha exchanged land for Kawa no Kuni, so it could be decided with one word, but Sunagakure couldn't decide it with just a touch of lip service.

In name, Sunagakure Village is just a military institution of the Kingdom of Wind. When it comes to land exchange, Sunagakure must obtain the consent of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

If it were to exchange land with the Kingdom of Sichuan at a ratio of 1:1, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind would naturally not be reluctant.

What kind of place is the Kingdom of Wind, and what kind of place is the Kingdom of Sichuan? The great names of the Kingdom of Wind still have no idea about AC.

However, this 1:2...

After all, the Kingdom of Wind is a big country. Even though the Kingdom of Kawakawa is backed by Konoha, if the Kingdom of Kawakawa and the Kingdom of Wind play a 1:2 exchange of land, the face of the Wind Daimyo will be disgraceful.

Anyway, even if the land is not changed, it will not affect Feng Daiming's life and debauchery in the Capital of Wind, preying on the common people. So why would he do such a shameful thing?

This is also the reason why Sha Yue firmly refuses to accept the 1:2 land s

In fact, according to Satsuki's personal opinion, the ratio of 1:2 is not unacceptable, but there has been an order from above, and as a diplomat, all he can do is try his best.

After listening to Sunazuki's words, Nara Kei laughed: "It was Sunagakure who proposed this land exchange. If Kazekage is reluctant to part with a large area of ​​land, he can exchange it for less. The ratio set by Konoha is just a ratio.

That’s all, as for 1:1.25…”

Nara Kei glanced at Satsuki and said with a smile: "Don't use this ratio to fool people."

"Less? Then why am I still busy with all this?" Hearing this, Shayue couldn't help but cursed secretly in her heart.

As mentioned before, the Kingdom of Wind is a big country, and if it only exchanges for a small land, it will be nothing but a drop in the bucket for the Kingdom of Wind.

Sunazuki knew very well that the request given to him by the Kazekage was to capture nearly a quarter of the land of Kawakuni in one fell swoop. Even if it was the minimum, it could not be less than one-fifth.

In this way, for Sunagakure, this land change makes sense.

But he also knew very well that even if Feng Ying's bottom line was to calculate one-fifth of the Kingdom of Sichuan, the Kingdom of Wind would lose a considerable piece of territory, and it was absolutely impossible for the Feng Daimyo to agree.

"How about 1:1.5?" Sunazuki gritted his teeth and revealed the bottom line in his heart: "This is the last concession from me, Sunagakure. If Konoha refuses, then this land exchange will be abandoned."

Satsuki's tone was very firm.

Seeing this, Nara Kei couldn't help but squint his eyes and carefully looked at Sunazuki in front of him.

And Sha Yue also felt a little nervous.

After a while, Nara Kei suddenly withdrew his gaze and laughed: "Since Sunagakure has this intention, then Konoha can accept the land exchange at a ratio of 1:1.5 in view of the friendship between the two villages."

When Sha Yue saw this, she was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, he had an explanation for the village. As a representative at the Five Kage Conference, it would be too embarrassing if he failed to negotiate with other ninja villages for the first time.

Not to mention, there are quite a few people coveting his position within the village.

However, Sunazuki also knew very well that with this transaction, Sunagakure owed Konoha a favor, and in the future, Sunagakure would inevitably reciprocate the favor in other affairs of the Five Kage Conference.

This kind of thing belongs to the tacit understanding of both parties and does not need to be stated.

Of course, Sunazuki can also ignore this tacit understanding, but in this case, not only Konoha will secretly retaliate against Sunagakure, but other ninja villages will also invisibly raise the threshold when negotiating and cooperating with Sunagakure, which will affect his future.

This is a huge disadvantage to our diplomatic work.

After the two signed the contract, Sunatsuki nodded slightly towards Nara Kei and said: "The contract is completed, Mr. Nara, I won't disturb you."

"Mr. Satsuki, please."

Looking at Sunazuki's leaving figure, Nara Keiya couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, during the confrontation between the two of them just now, Satsuki was a little embarrassed.

But Nara Kei knew very well that the opponent's embarrassment was not because of how powerful he was, but simply because Konoha, with his back, had more chips than the opponent.

Thinking of this, Nara Keiya couldn't help but feel lucky that he came from the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world.
