I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Maybe it was because they had been fighting each other every day and had some feelings for each other. When the old men on both sides looked at each other, they were still a little reluctant to let go.

After all, it was not easy to have such a well-matched opponent in the village in the past.

That sense of accomplishment is different.

Playing tricks with masters is like playing with iron, it is addictive.

Of course, the premise is that you are also a master.

Being abused as a food will not make you addicted, it will only make your mind explode.

As usual, everyone first exchanged very friendly greetings, such as whether they had eaten, whether they had slept well and other nonsense. After the process was over, the two sides began to get down to business.

"Lord Tsuchikage, are you sure you can sign the contract today?" Uchiha Shingen asked first.

"Of course." Ohnoki nodded, with a serious expression and high concentration.

He won't call Uchiha Shingen brat now.

This is the devil.

Before this negotiation, Onoki firmly did not believe that one day he would stand on the same side as Konoha.

But he is certain that Uchiha Shingen will not be so kind to support the development of Iwagakure Village, but he really can't find out what the drawbacks are. Is Konoha simply getting some benefits, or is everything a conspiracy.

The only thing he was sure of was to control the scale.

There is no such thing as cheating. The reason is very simple. Iwagakure Village needs this. As far as it is concerned, the people of the Kingdom of Earth, compared to the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Wind, their folk customs also pay attention to contracts.

Among the five major kingdoms, the most disciplined ones are the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth.

The Kingdom of Water has no rules because of chaos. Once things are calmed down, both Kirigakure and Damingfu will also follow rules.

Otherwise, if you are full, you will be able to go to war? Fighting is the riskiest behavior for most ninjas.

Being fond of carrying out sneak attacks during the war does not mean that he does not follow the rules. These are two different things. Every time Ohnoki carried out a sneak attack, he always sent a declaration of war. Maybe he did not send it in time, but he sent it all and he followed the procedures. .

"Then, let's finalize the content of the agreement today." Uchiha Shingen took out the already drawn up agreement, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Ohnoki.

Ohnoki stretched out his hand and pressed the paper.

"Uchiha Shingen, you really aren't playing tricks, are you?" he asked.

"Lord Tsuchikage, regarding this point, I have communicated with Lord Loess many times during this period. I believe he has fully conveyed my thoughts."

"That's good. If this agreement can indeed ensure Iwagakure's due benefits, I will do my best to maintain it on the name of the Tsuchikage." Onoki looked coldly, "If Konoha only uses this to harm Iwagakure, then There will never be peace between the two villages! What I said is not a threat, but a statement of facts, which will not be controlled by the will of this earth shadow."

"Lord Tsuchikage, you can rest assured that Konoha will get what Konoha wants, and Iwagakure will get what Iwagakure wants." Uchiha Shingen nodded solemnly, "Both parties will also have a variety of measures to deal with force majeure and malicious breach of contract. prevent incidents.”

"How do you say it? What is force majeure?"

"It's clarified in the agreement. Lord Tsuchikage, let's read the agreement first."

Ohnoki and Uchiha Shingen looked at each other for a long time, then took the agreement and read it.

He opened the cover and the first thing he saw was a long table of contents, with "Explanation of Terms" written on the first line.

"What does the noun explanation mean?"

"This is to ensure that both parties have a consistent understanding of the agreement. This can be checked on site by both parties, and if there are any differences in understanding, modifications will be made."

"Well, it is indeed necessary." Ohnoki nodded and continued to read.

The venue was quiet except for the occasional sound of Ohnoki turning pages.

It is said to be an agreement, which is basically a book.

"How to determine the scale of part of the retained mission funds?" Ohnoki suddenly asked, "You can't really get it back until it's all repaid, right? Moreover, as long as we don't breach the contract, this money is ours. How can we ensure that you don't use it indiscriminately? ?”

"Set up a special account with dual control by both parties. Every payment must be signed by the Hokage and Tsuchikage before the bank can transfer the money. However, during the blockade period, the bank can use the money for other investment activities as funds. As the owner, Yanyin Village has a part of the profits, so just think of it as capital-guaranteed financial management."

"What if we lose?"

"Let the bank take care of it. No one in this world can cheat on both the Tsuchikage and the Hokage at the same time."

“What about the ruling on the size of the interception?”

"A fixed percentage of the debt balance."

“We paid it back in advance, why do we have to pay?”

"There's nothing you can do about it, Tsuchikage-sama. Although you repaid the principal in advance, the investors will suffer interest losses. If others raise funds from the Iwagakure Village through the association, the rules are the same. The early repayment must be made to the Iwagakure Village. Pay the fees.”

Uchiha Shingen answered every question asked by Ohnoki instantly.

"You're awesome." Onoki finally gave a firm compliment, and then continued to read the agreement.

Chapter 20 As long as you can do it

Finally, Onoki read the entire book.

He really admired Uchiha Shingen for being able to toy with such a large volume of stuff.

How did you grow your brain?

And to be honest, after reading the entire book, he felt dizzy.

It takes too much energy.

The format is also very weird.

I have never signed anything like this before.

The contents of contracts signed between ninja villages are always simple and clear.

It is clear when the war will officially cease, how many prisoners will be handed over, and how much compensation will be provided.

Just hold on to a few pieces of paper and you're done.

There is really a lot to talk about here, and this is not the end. Even if both parties sign this book, they will still have to sign a bunch of things with the association, and after that, there will still be things signed by the three parties.

Good guy! Such trouble! ?

Ohnoki now knows why that association is doing so well.

Not only relying on Konoha's force, their rules are indeed extremely detailed.

Although the book in front of him is just a framework, what Ohnoki can be sure of is that under this structure, Konoha will not be able to deceive Iwagakure in its accounting, unless Iwagakure has a mole.

Onoki actually wanted to change it at first, but found that he couldn't.

The rights and obligations of Iwagakure and Konoha are all corresponding one by one, which is quite fair. If he changes Iwagakure's, Konoha's must also change. If he changes it again and again, no one can take advantage.

But if he doesn't change, it will show that he is a very incompetent Tsuchikage.

So, he put forward his own suggestions for revision.

"Overall, it's okay." Onoki picked up the tea cup very reservedly, raised his head and drank, then smashed it, "My opinion is that there are two places that need to be modified."

"You said it." Uchiha Shingen smiled.

"Change the name of the agreement. It's too long. It's a comprehensive strategy and a lot of military mutual assistance. It looks weird. We are a ninja village, and we need to have the momentum of a ninja village."

"Oh? Change it to what?"

"A covenant is a covenant. You talk so much. Wouldn't it be over if you write an alliance treaty?"

Onoki tapped the table with his fingers, with an expression like "Why are you doing so well at all?"

The loess beside him cast a pleased look.

"There is still time. It is too troublesome to renew the contract every year. How can we see the results? Just listen to my advice here! Renew the contract half a year in advance every five years."

"No problem." Uchiha Shingen nodded, "You have the final say."

He signaled the little pigeon in charge of secretarial work in the mission to take out another copy, and then accompanied by the secretarial staff of Yanyin Village, they went to revise it together.

The atmosphere in the venue relaxed.

Well, we are allies from now on, no need to be so nervous.

"Lord Tsuchikage, will you sign by hand or seal later?" Uchiha Shingen asked with a smile.

"Hmph!" Ohnoki took out a pen, "I always sign by hand and never use a seal."

"Then please understand, I can only use Hokage-sama's signature seal."

"It doesn't matter, but you have to sign your name."

"I'm not Hokage."

"No, you must sign. If you don't sign, I won't sign either."

"Okay, that's it. How about adding an additional signature of the agent on the signature page?"

"Whatever! You just need to sign!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll sign. I'll definitely sign." Uchiha Shingen had no choice but to shout to the busy secretarial staff, "On the signature page, Konoha will add an agent's signature column."

"The same goes for the 'riding seal' mentioned here! If there is no seal, just write it by hand!"

"Sure, I can do whatever you want."

After a while, both agreements were sent back.

People from both sides began to check to ensure that the contents of the two agreements were consistent. This did not require Ohnoki and Uchiha Shingen to do it.

They left their seats and walked to the tea room to rest.

Sitting down on the chair, Onoki took the teacup in his hand.

"Boy Shingen, Deidara and Kurotsuchi girl told me about you, and you are taking care of me these days."

"This is what Hokage-sama means." Uchiha Shingen smiled.

It doesn't matter if you have this favor or not, there is no need to snatch it.

"The Fourth Hokage..." A smile appeared on Ohnoki's somewhat stiff face, "It's quite humane."

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have signed the contract so happily."

"Half and half," Onoki said. He took a sip of tea. "With a weirdo like you in the Uchiha clan, the Hokage may not be able to do anything for a while. Let me ask, do you think it can be done because of our two villages?" Only by co-signing with Kirigakure as guarantee can we provide services to Feng and Lei. Are you trying to exclude Sunagakure?"

"As you said, the association has no station in the Kingdom of Wind. The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are also old enemies. Isn't this also a necessary security consideration?"

"Are you going to jump over the wall now to guard against the Sunagakure dog?"

"Who can I guard against? This is something the senior management considers."

Are you not a high-ranking official in Konoha? Who is at the top?

Also, why are you, an Uchiha, so malicious towards Kumogakure?

Ohnoki said he was just curious and had no objection.

This time in the negotiation, he finally saw something.

Although the Konoha White Ghost is young, he is cautious and possesses both strength and status. Being targeted by such a person would not be easy even for Kumogakure Village.

He had a hunch that being beaten by three villages for not paying back the money he owed was Kumogakure's future.

He really had no opinion on this at all.

Yunyin Village has developed too well, and it is also greedy and aggressive. Fighting factions are rampant, which has brought great pressure to Yanyin Village.

Isn't it because he doesn't retire at this age because he feels that there is no heir in the village who can handle Kumogakure's pressure?

Although Cloud Hidden Village has currently lost its Jinchuuriki, it is not considered a fundamental loss because they have mastered the method of making a perfect Jinchuuriki.

It's not like Kumogakure has never done anything like capturing tailed beasts from other villages.

The original attack on Sunagakure and the triggering of the Third Shinobi World War were largely due to Kumogakure's desire to capture the First One.

Intuitively speaking, what made Ohnoki determined to sign this agreement with Konoha was that he could make money. The decisive factor was that he saw that Iwagakure and Konoha had truly achieved peace, and that they could work together to deal with Kumogakure and Sunagakure. possibility.

Especially Kumogakure!

For this possibility, he was still willing to give it a try.

"After signing the contract, I will announce the news immediately." Onoki said, "What Konoha wants most right now is this. I will cooperate with you just once. I hope Konoha is sincere in achieving peace with Iwagakure."

"This is inevitable." Uchiha Shingen nodded with a very firm attitude, "If anyone wants to destroy the mutual aid relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure, I will be the first to kill him."

"Hmph, remember what you said, as long as you can do it, Iwagakure can also be an ally of Uchiha."
