Hokage: Beginning Awakening Dead Bone Pulse

Chapter 47-Mist Shinobi

Mist Shinobi’s diplomatic troops arrived at the daimyo’s residence on the morning of the third day.

The daimyo came out to meet him in person, with a friendly welcome.

The diplomat headed by the team is Kirigakure’s senior elder, Satoru Kusada.

He has very old qualifications and was one of the few high-ranking members of the Yagura group at the beginning of the reform.

Citrus Yagura sent him to lead the foreign affairs this time, with the highest expectations to achieve the corresponding funding requirements.

Kusada Satoru is a very capable person.

In the early years, the militant Second Mizukage fought on the battlefield and made great contributions.

During Third Mizukage’s administration, he stayed behind the scenes, and under extremely stringent policies, he stepped into the top.

Later, he helped Citrus Yagura complete the coup, and the credit was even more prominent.

But he didn’t take credit at all, instead he was unknown, and only came forward when the village needed him.

In general, this is a person who is committed to the dark but has light in his heart.

He believes that under the leadership of Yagura, Kirigakure can step out of the shadow of blood fog and continue to grow stronger.

For this reason, he led the diplomatic force to re-establish friendship between the village and the country with the nobles and daimyo of the water country, laying a solid foundation for the development of Kirigakure in the future.

The diplomatic troops walked into the discussion hall under the leadership of the attendants.

Many noble officials have already been seated, waiting for Mist Shinobi to be seated.

When everything was ready, the daimyo sat down at the head of the long table and announced the start of the discussion.

The ninjas of the diplomatic force and the guards of the daimyo mansion were guarding together, and time passed.

Corresponding matters were developed one by one in accordance with Kirigakure’s negotiation request.

The Daimyo of the Water Country and many officials hardly objected, and agreed to many of Kirigakure’s demands.

This kind of cooperation made Kusada Wu a pleasant surprise, but at the same time it produced a touch of anxiety.

You know, the nobles of the Water Country are very greedy. Could it be that they will watch their own interests drain?

Somehow, Kusada Satoru felt that the last requirement was also the most important requirement in today’s negotiations. Funding applications would be severely blocked.

“Kirigakure’s last request, funding application, we request that the Water Country can increase the funding by 20% to repair Kirigakure’s infrastructure, improve Kirigakure’s talent training treatment, and update the purchase of equipment and equipment… …”

While speaking, Kusada Satoru felt a change in the atmosphere of the presence.

All the officials and nobles, as if they had rehearsed, were silent, looking down at the documents.

Sitting at the top of the water country daimyo, his hands propped his chin, his face was rather bleak.

After Kusada Satoru’s diplomats finished chanting, the discussion hall suddenly became quiet, and the silent atmosphere made all the messengers of Mist Shinobi present feel something wrong.

Slowly, the daimyo sighed, “Hey, your request on behalf of Kirigakure, we are all clear. We can all agree to the previous regulations, but this last one…”

The daimyo shook his head and said no more.

Sure enough, Kusada enlightened the mind. In fact, many of the previous regulations symbolically sought the consent of the Water Country, in order to improve the legality of Kirigakure’s openness in justice.

So those requirements are not really requirements at all. The purpose of their visit this time, to put it bluntly, is to strive for higher financial support.

Kusada Satoru had already guessed that the process would not go smoothly, so he did not panic too much.

He pondered for a moment and then began to speak: “I understand the doubts of Your Excellency and everyone. In fact, the funding request this time is more for the infrastructure construction of the village. Because the Fourth Generation project abolished the cruelty policy of the school graduation, and later graduation Genin will be several times more than before, so Kirigakure needs this funding to train them. When they grow into a ninja, Kirigakure’s strength will increase by at least half, and the country of water will become more prosperous.”

Satoru Kusada talked freely and made some clear points.

Some officials at the scene also nodded secretly after listening, believing that this funding application is indeed necessary.

But they still looked cold on the surface.

Because the decision-making power in this matter is in the hands of the daimyo and the nobles, if they disagree, it will be recognized by many officials and there will be no way to allocate funds.

What’s more, this time the daimyo confessed in advance that all officials involved in the talks should obey the instructions and should not make false statements, especially on the issue of funds.

They are now a group of dumb people, and they can only express their opinions in the bottom of their hearts.

Satoru Kusada finished speaking again, and his tongue became a little dry.

But he saw that the officials present remained silent and realized that things were not that simple.

At this time, a nobleman spoke.

“You know what you mean, but here, we also have something to say to Fourth Mizukage. I hope you can pass it on.”

“Speaking.”

The nobleman cleared his throat, and his entire popularity began to become aggressive: “Then I will tell you the truth, our water country daimyo was attacked by a ninja the night before and almost died. After identification, the ninja used it. , It is Kirigakure’s ice escape, that is, the ninja of the Mizumusuki clan.”

Satoru Kusada was stunned after hearing this. What’s going on?

Why did the Shuiwuyue clan attack the daimyo of the water country?

Memories flashed through Kusada’s mind.

Back then, under the rule of Third Mizukage, many ninjas defected to the village.

Among them, there are many blood ninjas, including the Mizumusuki clan, the Kei Yoruichi clan, even the ghost lamp clan of Second Mizukage Ghost Lantern Magic Moon, and the First Mizukage Bai Lan clan.

But these are a minority after all, and most of the people in the village remain.

Could it be those rebellious?

Satoru Kusada looked at the photographs of evidence taken out by the nobleman.

An icicle was inserted under the bed, and the tip of the ice pierced the bed, stained with blood.

A man in leather armor was stabbed through by an icicle, and blood shed all over the ground.

When the nobleman finished speaking, the daimyo shook his head and sighed: “I hope Fourth Generation can give me an explanation. My beloved concubine was brutally killed by that assassin in order to protect me. I really can’t forget that night. .”

Kusada Satoru couldn’t tell whether what the daimyo said was true or false, but he couldn’t verify it, so he could only take it seriously.

“I see. I will report this to Lord Fourth Generation so that he can thoroughly investigate the matter.”

Kusada Satoru secretly sighed, out of this situation, today’s negotiations may not be able to proceed.

At this time, the Daimyo of Mizuno Kuni suddenly said, “Your Excellency, I just saw that there is a Mist Shinobi ninja today, who seems to belong to the Mizusuki clan, right?”

Kusada Gou gave a chuckle in his heart, his face kept silent.

“There is one, but he has been by my side, not the assassin who committed the murder that night.”

The corner of the water country daimyo’s mouth slightly aroused: “Your diplomat, you know, I haven’t encountered an assassination in a long time, why this time is so coincidental that an assassin will assassinate me on the eve of your diplomatic troops’ arrival.”

The daimyo of Water Country lowered his head and sneered.

“There must be someone whispering the news, so the assassin would assassinate me so accidentally, in order to destroy our relationship. The ninja of the Mizutsuki clan happened to be a member of the diplomatic force, and the person who assassinated me was the Mizutsuki clan. People, do you think they are related?”

Kusada Satoru was not stunned by the daimyo’s words, his thinking was very clear.

If it is really the ninja of the Mizuki Kirigakure Mutsuki clan, then why does he use such obvious and revealing moves.

Bing Dun, didn’t he make it clear to leave a handle?

This is very likely to be the frame of Rebellion!

However, he had no reason to refute, because he also had no evidence to prove that the assassin was Kirigakure’s betrayer.

Or, this incident is nothing but a futility, self-directed and self-acted bitter trick.

Kusada got up directly, “Please also your Excellency Daming give the village some time to investigate the truth. That’s it for today’s negotiations. Let’s retire first.”

“Well, that’s it for today.”

Daimyo of the Water Country announced the end of the proceedings and stood up to leave.
