Shadow Stream of Leaf

"Damyo-sama, the current situation is just as I said, Hanyu-sama has won the battle against Kirigakure, and the next negotiation on the truce requires the support of Daimyo-sama.

After all, this kind of military and political affairs requires the head of state to make a decision... Your lord? "

The news of the victory of the war was sent back to the Land of Fire as quickly as possible, and Sarutobi Kohei who received the news also reported it to the daimyo immediately.

At this time, the daimyo looked very surprised.

"Ah...you mean that Master Hanyu led only a small number of Konoha ninjas to solve the battle with Kirigakure and win? The war over there is over?

The news of the defeat on the Eastern Front made me worry, but... I didn't expect the good news to come so suddenly, like a dream. "

The Kingdom of Fire thinks it is a dream, but at least it is a sweet dream, while the Kingdom of Water is a pure nightmare.

Daimyo is not a ninja, nor is he on the battlefield, so his surprise was short-lived, and then he complained, "Since that lord has this talent, why didn't he be sent to the battlefield in the first place?" In that case, we won’t have to encounter that level of failure in the early stage.”

The speaker didn't mean the listener, the daimyo's words made Sarutobi Kohei a little embarrassed.

"We are currently negotiating with the Land of Water. Considering the war situation in the Land of Fire, we need to end the war with Kirigakure as quickly as possible, so the venue for the negotiation is the famous city of the Land of Water... …

The winner should have been more calm, and the place of negotiation should also be in the Land of Fire, but now we have to put the end of the war as our top priority, so we can only choose this way.

Hanyu-sama asked me to convey my apology to Daimyo-sama on his behalf.

Next, Mr. Hanyu hopes that Mr. Daimyo can send a plenipotentiary representative of the Nation of Fire to the Nation of Water to be in charge of negotiating and signing the next armistice agreement. "

"Hanyu-sama is too polite. This really needs to be done cheaply. It's natural to start the negotiation as conveniently as possible. It's just... what is Hokage-sama's opinion?"

"After Hanyu-sama became the commander of the Eastern Front, all matters related to Kirigakure have been left to him to decide."

Since the third Hokage had no objection, the daimyo of the Land of Fire had a thought, and then said, "Considering the issue of equal status and the effectiveness of the agreement, do you think it is necessary for me to go to the Land of Water in person?"

The new daimyo was actually quite unlucky. Not long after he took office, the Ninja World War broke out, and the Land of Fire was besieged from all sides at the beginning, showing a precarious situation. Only he himself understands how worried the daimyo is.

Especially when Konoha came up and was defeated for a while.

But now it seems that wars are not all bad things. All of Konoha's victories were victories under the leadership of the daimyo. There must be no problem with this statement. So Konoha's victory over Kirigakure means that the country of fire has defeated the country of water, and this is also the victory won by the daimyo himself.

Victory represents a surge in personal prestige and consolidation of dominance. These are still very important for a new daimyo—these two generations of Fire Nation daimyos are surprisingly consistent in their thinking in this regard.

The former daimyo had also negotiated with the country of water, and his position was consolidated after that, and even that victory was won by Hanyu.

There are such examples before, so the new daimyo naturally has the meaning of imitation... What does it matter if he goes to the land of water, anyway, the land of fire is the winner, and his daimyo used to "show off his power".

For daimyo, the difference between going this trip and not going is actually quite big. As long as he goes to the country of water, he will be in charge of the negotiations between the two countries, and he will be able to add more personal color to this victory... In fact, what he did would be "anti-client". There are still differences between daimyos, but Ninja Village certainly doesn't mind adding a little more luster to daimyo's face.

"This...of course it is possible, Daimyo-sama. However, if you go to the land of water, I hope you can consider the danger. Even with Hanyu-sama as protection, Daimyo-sama is definitely safe enough, but...theoretically The dangerous situation still exists, after all, it is an enemy country, and we have just carried out an extremely bloody vendetta with them."

"Compared to the wars you have experienced, the danger at this time is negligible... I can bear this level of danger, or I can only bear this level of danger."

Compared with the ninja, the daimyo's courage is very limited, but he can win favorability by saying this clearly.

At least it appears to be very honest and not hypocritical, and there is no right and wrong.

The daimyo wanted to go to the land of water to get some benefits, except that Hanyu had to protect his safety, which was troublesome, and there was no special problem in the rest, so when the daimyo passed his wish to Hanyu, he After a little consideration, he agreed... Politically and jurisprudentially, the daimyo is the most suitable person to conclude a war.

Afterwards, under the protection of Konoha ninjas, the daimyo of the Land of Fire went to the Land of Water for negotiations with great pomp... It is indeed a little inappropriate for the king of the victorious country to take the initiative to negotiate with the defeated country, but it is a show of strength Well, that's what happened.

This little "labour" and indignity was nothing compared to the political prestige that followed.

After the detailed negotiations started, the role of daimyo and Hanyu was only to "show their faces". They were only responsible for issues of principle, and the detailed provisions would be discussed by their subordinates.

A week later, when the final negotiation results were presented, there was only a slight difference from Hanyu's initial request.

That is, Kirigakure will form an alliance with Konoha, but there is no need to declare war on other countries... Considering that Kirigakure is indeed unable to continue the war, such a verbal declaration of war will have no other effect except to attract more hostility to them, so On this point, Hanyu still made a compromise.

Kirigakure... No, ten years from the date of the signing of the armistice agreement, there is no such thing as Kirigakure, it must be "Mizukakushi". Water hidden village in the country of water is so catchy, maybe the daimyo of the country of water would like this name more.

…………

The news of Konoha's victory and the end of the Eastern Front War quickly spread throughout the Land of Fire, and other countries also received related information.

For the other three major ninja villages, they certainly did not expect the war there to end so quickly, and for this kind of thing, most of the opinions are not saying that Konoha's strength is so exaggerated, but that Kirigakure Why is this kind of useless.

Lianying's name can't be kept, is this the legendary shame?

On Konoha's western battlefield, after receiving the news of the signing of the armistice agreement, the "three ninjas" got together again and started the nth round of discussions.

"Remove the title of Mizukage and change Kirigakure to Mizukage? Although this was originally a 'punishment' against Kirigakure in the name of the third Hokage, this is not the third Hokage's style of behavior at all. It is obviously Hanyu who did it... Losing the name of Enemy Ying, what exactly does he want to do?"

"Perhaps... on a whim?"

The same statement, this time no one refuted it.

"On the one hand, Kirigakure's quick defeat is a good thing. On the other hand, it will intensify the intensity of the war in other directions. This result will make the three major ninja villages more concentrated on dealing with Konoha."

"Well, not to mention anything else, our side is very difficult to deal with. Three generations of Kazekage, Chiyo and her younger brother, the blood-following ninja named Hakura, Luo Sha, and Chiyo's grandson Scorpion are all very difficult. A powerful ninja."

"A larger-scale war is about to break out."

"In any case, what Hanyu did is still a bit out of line, which gives me a bad feeling... I hope there will be no problems in the near future."
