The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 312 The Blunt Knife Between the Doors

"Two, my Uzumaki Clan does have some sealing techniques for tailed beasts, but this is also the brainchild of our ancestors of the Uzumaki Clan. It can't just be handed over to Konoha." Uzumaki Ashina said lightly.

"Then I don't know what the daimyo's conditions are? As long as it is suitable, the two of us can agree on behalf of Konoha." Tobuma also said with an expressionless face.

"Hahahahaha..." Uzumaki Ashina burst into laughter immediately: "Don't worry about Elder Toikama, our Uzushio Village doesn't have too many demands, but we just hope that Konoha can formally form a defensive alliance with Uzushishi Village."

"Defensive alliance?"

Fei Jian's heart moved, and he also understood the meaning of Uzumaki Ashina.

The so-called defensive alliance, that is to say, when other ninja villages attack Konoha or any of the Uzushio villages, they are considered to be fighting with the two villages.

But if Konoha or Uzushio Village takes the initiative to start a war against other ninja villages, then the other side has no obligation to participate in the war. At most, they can provide some logistical support, which is still in the form of trade.

Such an alliance is slightly less aggressive than an offensive and defensive alliance. Generally speaking, it is of the nature of security.

But considering the actual situation of Konoha and Uzushio Village, in fact, what Uzumaki Ashina means is that Uzumaki Village only wants to be protected by Konoha, and does not want to be involved in the game of Dairen Village.

As for Uzushio Village being involved when other ninja villages start a war against Konoha, this is not a problem at all for Uzumaki Ashina.

If Sand Yin and Yan Yin started a war against Konoha, they would not travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to trouble Ushio Village just because of their geographical location.

And if Yunyin or Kirigakure were to fight Konoha, it would be impossible for Uzushio Village, which is sandwiched between the three major ninja villages, to survive alone, and it would be better with Konoha's protection.

"That's right, it's the defensive alliance. I don't know if Konoha agrees." Uzumaki Ashina stared at Senshou Feijian, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

The current situation in Uzumaki Village is that children hold gold bricks in the downtown area. If there is no protection from a burly man to deter other adults with malicious intentions, they will be eaten sooner or later.

But on the other hand, a child urgently needs a burly man, but a burly man may not necessarily need this child.

He can rob together with other people, and maybe he can get the biggest harvest by virtue of his strength.

What Uzumaki Ashina did was gambling.

Bet that the Thousand Hands Clan will not turn a deaf ear to the situation of the Uzumaki Clan.

Gambling on Konoha took into account the emotions of the Thousand Hands Clan.

He dared to do this because he had some reliance.

If Konoha is really business-like and directly sends members of the Uchiha clan who lead the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate, then Uzumaki Ashina doesn't have to think about so many detours, and just leads the family to surrender to Konoha and it's over.

Hearing Uzumaki Ashina's words, Tobima and Hashirama looked at each other, and Hashirama nodded to Tobima unobtrusively.

He could only let out a slight sigh.

Although he has no feelings for the Uzumaki Clan, it is impossible for the Thousand Hands Clan to be selfish.

What's more, Hanzang's sending their brothers to envoys is also implicitly acquiescing to the selfishness of the Thousand Hands Clan.

After a while, Tomona turned his gaze to Uzumaki Ashina, nodded, and said: "Okay, Mr. Daimyo, on behalf of Konoha, I agree to Uzushio Village's request. In a few days, Konoha will send someone to sign a formal defense agreement with Uzushio Village." Confederate. But..."

Hearing Feijian's reply, Rao couldn't help being overjoyed in the city named after Whirlpool.

But the "but" from the door made his heart hang again.

Uzumaki Ashina pretended to be calm and asked: "But what? Elder Feijian, let's just say it."

There was a smile on Feijian's face, and said: "I hope Uzumaki Village can send at least three tribesmen with certain talents every year to come to Konoha's ninja school to study and graduate. Return to Uzumaki Village."

"Well, the ninja school just started this year, and the first batch of children will be sent in after a while." Tobuma added.

Hearing this, Uzumaki Ashina's complexion changed for the first time.

His face was ugly.

Tokaima's request is actually to assimilate Konoha and Uzushio Village from the root, so as to facilitate Konoha's annexation of Uzushio Village in the future.

You know, there are only more than [-] ninjas in the entire Ushio Village, which includes everyone in the age group from six to fifty.

Calculated in this way, there are only eight or nine ninjas of each age on average.

Of course, there will be some deviation in the actual number, and there may be fewer ninjas who are older.

But in general, among children aged six to 12, there are no more than ten trainee ninjas at each age.

With just these children, Konoha still has three talented children.

Having received Konoha's education for more than ten years as a child, these children will inevitably be deeply influenced by Konoha.

And these children are talented and have been trained by Konoha. When they return to Uzuo Village, they will definitely be the backbone of Uzuo Village.

Limited by its own base of ninjas, there is no suppression in Uzumaki Village, and there are no conditions for reusing these ninjas.

It might not be noticeable for a year or two, but after ten or twenty years, these Konoha-loving ninjas will have considerable influence in Uzushio Village.

Maybe when the right time comes, Konoha can easily annex Uzushio Village.

Seeing Uzumaki Ashina's increasingly ugly face, the smile on Tomona's face grew stronger.

This is Tomona's political style.

He never drives others to a dead end in one step. He only boils frogs in warm water, cuts meat with blunt knives, and lets you step into the pocket step by step, and then tie the pockets up by himself.

Sometimes, the blunt knife is not noticed by the opponent, such as the Uchiha clan who accepted the position of the Konoha Guard in the original time and space.

And sometimes, even if you see this blunt knife, you have to be willing to be cut.

Today's Uzumaki Ashina is typical.

Without the shelter of Konoha, Uzumaki Village is facing the worry of survival, and Uzumaki Ashina has no choice.

"My lord, you have to think about it. I, Konoha, have the best teachers and educational conditions. We will treat the borrowers from Uzushio Village equally. This is Konoha's cultivation of talents for Uzushio Village." Feima continued to smile. Added fuel to the fire.

But Hashirama next to him didn't think so much, he just felt that his younger brother's idea was really good, and it was also very good for Uzumaki Village, so he also persuaded: "Master Daimyo, why hesitate? This is also an opportunity for those children ah."

Looking at the unknown Hashirama, Uzumaki Ashina felt bitter.

But he had no choice. This negotiation was not an equal negotiation from the very beginning. The huge gap in strength between the two parties determined that there was very little room for maneuver in Uzumaki Village.

"Forget it... If the descendants are unworthy, maybe joining Konoha is the best way to ensure the continuity of the family." Uzumaki Ashina sighed inwardly.

"Okay, two, on behalf of Uzushio Village, I agree to Konoha's request." Uzumaki Ashina said.

Hearing the words, Zhujian and Feijian both had satisfied smiles on their faces, but of course, the meanings are different.
