Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 102 The Deal with Goji Yakura
The war is far from over, it has only just begun.

Even if the fourth Mizukage Kutachi Yagura was captured, it did not affect the progress of the battle. The Kiri Ninja side seemed to have never realized that their Mizukage-sama had been reduced to Konoha Ninja's prisoner, and launched wave after wave as always. A wave of fierce offensives, trying to break through the iron-fortified defense line laid by Konoha Ninja along the long coastline.

It's a pity that the strength gap between the two sides cannot be reversed only by momentum.

If it is said that by destroying the command center of the border defense force at the beginning, they tasted a little sweetness, and when Konoha's reinforcements formed a new command system to bring the brainless border defense force back under control, Mist Ninja There is no longer any advantage.

Kuroshio Castle.

keep,

"Yakura Goju still refuses to let go?" Zong Xian closed his eyes tightly, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a long fan on his knees. Since the last meeting in the castle, he found that I like this place very much, it is condescending, with a wide view, quiet and peaceful.

So, it became his bedroom and office.

The space of the keep is not small, but a circle of shojis is erected to separate the spaces for different purposes.

"Yes, he resolutely refuses to sell the interests of Wuyin Village. Even though I have lowered the requirements, he still refuses to agree. Lord Zongxian, I am very sorry. This is my negligence." Nara Suzaku's voice was quite bitter. , He discussed with the think tank of the staff department for two days and two nights, and agreed that the way to maximize Mizukage's interests was to wake up Mizukage to make a deal with him directly.

just,

Kuju Yagura's firm attitude was a bit beyond the expectations of the think tanks.

It has been a week since I woke up Goju Yakura, and many think tanks who are good at negotiating are almost frayed, but they still can't talk about it. The time drags on day by day, and Nara Suzaku's face changes day by day. day.

"At the beginning, I agreed to the plan you submitted, and it was me who made the decision. It is not your turn to take responsibility, and... your plan is not wrong, but it seems to be our Mizukage Your Excellency has not seen the reality clearly."

Zong Xian opened his eyes, the scarlet in his eyes flashed away.

However, even those pair of eyes that were as black as ink put unspeakable heavy pressure on Nara Suzaku. Since the return of the fourth generation of Mizukage after being captured alive, Zong Xian's image in their eyes can be said to be getting taller and taller. Whether it is respect or awe, Facing Zong Xian's power, they all showed extreme respect.

"Let's go!"

He stood up and hung the flame fan on the side of the armor stand next to him.

Nakamune hasn't been out in the battle since he was captured alive in Goju Yagura, and the old man Hyuga Masaoyuki kept nagging in his ear that being a general shouldn't take risks, and he didn't make any excuses. It's crazy to say that Wushuang is unmatched by himself, and Wunin has no one-on-one enemy.

Hinata Masayuki was right.

He is not the blade of the army, but the hand that holds the sword.

As a commander, it is not a thing to always take the lead in the charge. It is his duty to wave the sharp sword in his hand and command the thousands of Konoha ninjas to fight. It just so happens that he also needs time to study and figure out the flame ball fan he just acquired.

"Go and see our Lord Mizukage, after so long, it's time to make a decision."

Zong Xian walked in front, the hem of the black long gown was lifted up by the air current, surging up and down like a raging tide.

Nara Suzaku hurriedly followed.

It is normal for Kuroshio Mountain Castle to have a dungeon. It would be strange if a castle built by such daimyos does not have a dungeon. The nobles of the name always need some hidden space to resolve some troubles or grievances.

Going down the narrow steps, there are lighted oil lamps hanging on the high places of the rock walls on both sides. The dim light can barely dispel the thick darkness like the tide, and illuminate the steps under your feet. Walking through three sections is almost After the same narrow and narrow stairs, they came to the lowest level of the dungeon.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, damp and cold, and the air with an indescribable smell of corruption rushed towards his face, but to be honest, he could smell this smell since he walked down, but the smell was not so strong and pungent before.

Different from the open area of ​​the upper two floors,
The space here is much narrower, and there is only one prison cell. The railings of the upper cell are only as thick as the mouth of a cup. The railings of the cell on this floor are almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Coupled with the powerful barriers arranged around it, this place is for detaining felons. The place.

A valuable and extremely dangerous target like the Fourth Mizukage Kutachi Yagura was imprisoned here.

Zong Xian stood on his feet outside the cell, squinting his eyes to look at the environment inside the cell.

In the empty cell there was only a crude plank bed, with a bunch of dirty blankets piled up in the corner of the bed. Yagura Kudachi sat cross-legged on the bare plank bed, and only opened his eyes when he heard footsteps outside. His gaze met the incoming line of sight.

Eye contact in mid-air.

"Lord Mizukage, we meet again."

Zong Xian's voice broke the desolate silence in this dark space.

"The head of the Uchiha clan."

Kutachi Yakura looked up at Sogen who was standing outside the cell, "You came later than I thought! Don't Konoha want the war to end sooner?"

"No one likes war, Your Excellency Mizukage, it's just that you have the freedom to start a war, but when to end the war, the decision is in our hands. We don't like war, but we don't fear war. If we can use this war to It would be better to let those ambitious people who plot evil plans understand that Konoha is still the inviolable Konoha!"

The manager in charge of guarding the dungeon swiftly moved a well-wiped stool.

Zong Xian sat down outside the cell, looking at Goju Yakura leisurely.

Nara Suzaku drove away the manager, and stood silently beside Zong Xian. Not everyone was qualified to listen to the following conversation.

"Killing chickens to warn monkeys, is Kirinin the 'chicken' that Konoha picked?" Yakura Yakura's voice was extremely bitter.

"No, you guys bumped into it on your own initiative!"

Zong Xian said calmly: "Actually, if you hadn't made the first move, we would never have thought of launching a foreign war at this time."

"But to be honest, I also want to thank you. Thanks to the operations of your Kirinin, we have intensified some contradictions within Konoha, allowing us people to find the right opportunity to drive the third generation from power. Otherwise, I don't know how much it will cost. How much effort is needed to settle the contradictions and troubles inside Konoha."

He sincerely thanks.

The reasons for the downfall of the third generation are complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one sentence, but there is no doubt that the threat of war from the Mist Ninja Messenger was the fuse that triggered the series of turmoil.

Kuju Yakura's face turned pale, "Clan Chief Uchiha, it's not our Wunin that started the war, you should be very clear about that, that mysterious person is our common enemy, and it won't do us any good if this war continues .”

"But whether it's the Kirito Ninja or the Konoha Ninja, almost everyone now knows that the fourth generation of Mizukage-Kutachi Yakura is the one who started this war!" Zongxian spread his hands.

"Or are you going to tell everyone now that you didn't start this war, but a mysterious person who claimed to be Uchiha Madara but was actually unidentified controlled you and set off the war between Wu Ninja and Konoha?"

"Come on! Your Excellency Mizukage, let's not talk about whether these things are suitable for spreading on a large scale. The question is how many people do you think will believe this rhetoric?"

Facing Zongxian's sharp questioning, Goju Yakura was speechless.

Yes!

Everyone knows that it was Kutachi Yagura who started the war. Who would believe that all this was planted on a mysterious person whose existence could not be verified?
Zong Xian's testimony?
Looking at the situation of Homudaouan and the Nine-Tails Rebellion five years ago, Konoha's people may believe such a statement, but the question is, will Mistnin believe it?Kiri Shinobu, who had been tortured under Kutachi Yakura's rule, wouldn't believe it.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it. We dug out a very interesting piece of information from the captive Kirinin's mind. It is said that the fourth Mizukage is personally directing Kirinin's battle on the front line." At the end, Zongxian seemed to have just Thinking about it, I added another sentence.

Yagura's face suddenly changed.

There is also a fourth generation Mizukage?How can this be?

Is it a puppet launched by those Jnin in the army?No, it shouldn't be possible. Based on what he knows about those ambitious guys, once he is found missing for a long time, Momochi will not kill those ambitious guys again. They will find a way to elect the Fifth Generation Mizukage who is competing for succession, instead of making a fake one. The goods come out to fool the people below.

But he doesn't think that Uchiha Zongxian will use this kind of fake news to deliberately deceive him, and doing so will not have any benefits except destroying the trust between the two parties.

A bold guess appeared in his mind.

Could it be that that damned one-eyed man still has the guts to continue pretending to be him and go back to Mist Ninja?

"There is one more thing. The Kiri Ninja's offensive has been very fierce recently, but the commander's brain seems to be not very easy to use. My subordinates have gained a lot. I feel that the fourth generation of Mizukage on the opposite side is deliberately giving my subordinates Thankfully, I'm not Hokage, so I don't have to worry about the rewards after the battle." As if worried that Kutachi Yakura would not be able to judge the form, Zong Xian continued to add weight.

This time, Goju Yakura finally couldn't sit still.

He miscalculated the purpose of Uchiha Zongxian, and Konoha still had plans to use the attack on Mist Ninja to deter other villages, so he might not be in a hurry to end this war; and that unidentified one-eyed man, unexpectedly Dare to continue to go back to Wuyin Village to stir up wind and rain. Today's Wuren really can't stand such abuse.

He stood up, walked to the door of the cell, looked at Zong Xian who was sitting on the stool across the solid cage.

"I agree to your conditions. The white eyes of the Hyuga clan will be returned to you, and the war compensation will be paid according to the agreed price. However, Wuyin Village's current financial situation is very poor. We don't have that much money now, so we need to divide it up. Repayment, and when tracking down and dealing with the one-eyed man, Wu Ninja will fully cooperate with Konoha's actions."

"I don't know if I can change my place now? To be honest, the smell here is really bad and makes people want to vomit." Goju Yakura waved his hand and gently flapped it under his nose.

"By the way, Uchiha patriarch, I hope you move quickly. If the village deprives me of Mizukage, my promise will have no effect or value."

"Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention." Zong Xian nodded with a smile.
