It doesn't matter, Lord Kazekage will make a move

Chapter 277 Winter War
Time is not fast or slow, and in mid-January, except for the land of the wind, other places can clearly feel the severe cold weather and the huge damage under the magnificent ice and snow, and the acne accumulated by the aftermath of the war broke out in winter.

Shortage of cotton and food.

Almost most countries have to face this severe problem. Even the wealthy Moon Country Tang Country can only say that it is barely enough.

There is only one country, where everyone not only has cotton clothes and every family has grain, but also has excess production capacity to export high-quality cotton.

"Master Fengkage, Lei Ying heard that you are about to get married, and asked me to send you my sincere blessings."

Tutai stood in Kazekage's office, smiling and beckoning Yun Shino behind him to hand over the gift box.

Anbe behind Hoshino Mu took the gift box, held it calmly, checked it roughly with Chakra, and put it some distance away from Kazekage.

"Lei Ying has a heart. I believe that under Lei Ying's leadership, the friendship between Shayun and Shayun villages will last forever. Speaking of which, Ai and I are old friends. It is really gratifying and congratulatory that he officially succeeds Lei Ying this time. , Unfortunately, I am busy with work, so I can't spare time, when Mr. Tutai returns, please take the gift I prepared for Ai with you."

Hoshino Mu said with a smile.

As for the trivial matter of the wedding day being two or three months apart, everyone tacitly didn't mention it. After all, it's not important, it's important to find a reason to sit together.

Tutai smiled and nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Hoshino Mu's eyes turned to the young man next to the earthen platform. He looked familiar, but he couldn't name him.

"Who is this?"

"This is Xi, a young man in the village. He heard that he had a chance to meet Master Kazekage, but he has been pestering me for a long time."

Tutai said with a smile, Xi also showed a shy smile at the right time, and there was a look of longing in his eyes.

Hoshino Mu recalled for a while, and then remembered that there was such a person in the anime, but the impression was not deep, so he ignored it.

The two exchanged a few words, and then the topic turned to business.

"Master Kazekage, the Land of Wind is good here~ You don't have to suffer from the cold that day, we Yunren live on the mountain, life is really hard."

"Oh? How did I hear that Yun Nin 'collected' a lot of cotton-padded clothes, and it took two months to pass."

Hoshino Mu raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully.

The term "collection" is very subtle. Cotton clothes don't grow on the ground, or are things that no one wants. Everyone knows what the meaning of "collection" is.

This kind of scandal is tacitly understood by everyone, but when it is expressed, it also faintly represents Hoshino Mu's attitude.

Hearing the words, Tutai frowned slightly, then relaxed it, and said with a smile: "The Land of Thunder is no different than other places. There are tall mountains and few trees, and there are never too many cotton clothes."

"But the capital to earn cotton clothes is limited, isn't it?"

Hoshino Mu said pointedly: "If I know that someone bought cotton clothes with my counterpart and came to me again, I'm afraid I will be very embarrassed~"

Before Tutai could speak, Xi Xian said next to him: "Master Fengying, I heard from the merchants in Hidden Sand City and asked for some advice on how to do business. If there are more buyers than sellers in the market, the price of the goods will rise At this time, if the money in the buyer's hand happens to be low, it is reasonable to compare a few more, right?"

Hearing this, Hoshino Mu looked at the little guy named Xi meaningfully, and shook his head with a smile: "Then the person you are asking for advice should be a small businessman. If a certain commodity that is in short supply in the market is monopolized, then the decision will be made." The power is in the hands of the monopolist. At that time, not only will buyers not be able to shop around, but they will not even be able to have the qualifications or ideas to make their own products."

Xi shook his head decisively: "My lord, what you said is really unbelievable."

He felt that Hoshino Mu was trying to show them off, so as to gain the upper hand in the negotiation for a while, but he used too much force, and what he said was a bit unrealistic.

The technology of their Yunyin Village is so advanced, but they will not say that other ninja villages will impose sanctions on others if they want to manufacture related equipment.

Tutai was a little worried that Xi would be young and energetic, and if he continued to chat, there would be disputes, so he glanced at the clock on the wall, and interrupted with a smile: "Master Kazekage, it's almost noon, why don't we chat slowly while we eat? Last time, I said that I would send some children to study at the ninja school in Hidden Sand City, and they admired Kazekage-sama very much, so I just took this opportunity to fulfill the children's wishes."

Hoshino Mu was taken aback when he heard the words. Originally, he thought that the current relationship between the two parties and the matter of sending students had been abandoned, but he didn't expect that the other party really brought people over.

"That's really great. I also want to meet the handsome men of Yunyin Village."

Hoshino Mu smiled and nodded, and winked at Anbu next to him, who nodded slightly and left. When Hoshino Mu brought the two of them to the restaurant on the top floor, Luo Sha was already waiting there, and there were seven or eight people sitting beside him. A child from Yunyin Village.

No, it is not appropriate to describe one as a child.

Hoshino Mu looked at the tall Samuel in the crowd and blinked.

When I first met her, she was already an excellent ninja, but now she goes to a ninja school where ninjas are taught. Who will teach whom?
If it was the appearance when we first met, it would still be somewhat convincing. Now, Samyi has grown to almost 1.6 meters in size, and his figure has also initially appeared. Standing in a group of children, he looks particularly abrupt.

"Mr. Tutai, Samui."

Hoshino Mu pointed to Samui and said in a low voice.

Tutai's face was indifferent, and he said: "Samyi hopes to work in Yunin's ninja school and become a teacher in the future. Therefore, I want to come here to learn the teaching experience of sand ninja. Lord Raikage said let her experience it first. Life at Sand Hidden City Ninja School."

"Lei Ying said so, I can't let her be a student~"

Hoshino Mu thought for a while, then looked at Samyi.

"Samui, you can learn from the teacher of the ninja school first and be a teaching assistant, can you?"

"It's all according to the instructions of the adults."

Samui bowed respectfully and responded.

Hoshino Mu nodded, and after cordially communicating with the children one by one, the banquet officially began with the melodious music.

The representatives of the two ninja villages sat at one table, and the children sat at the other table.

Although Luo Sha didn't like this kind of occasion, she had experienced many such things in the past, so although she wasn't enthusiastic, she wasn't as indifferent as usual.

On the contrary, Xi, this child behaved neither humble nor overbearing in front of the three adults, he was very calm, and he was able to analyze some common topics that even the ninja would have heard, from the perspective of the village's senior management, and he was well-founded.

Is this Nara Shikahisa from Cloud Hidden Village?

Looking at Xi's immature face, Hoshino Mu shook his head secretly.

Although his mind and insight are far superior to those of his peers, he is still too immature compared to the current Nara Shikaku.

If Nara Shika came here for a long time, he would definitely not make himself look so dazzling, but would pretend to be an ordinary ninja, observe the surrounding situation secretly, and share his views with others after returning to his residence.

Considering that the other party is only about ten years old, this is not a disadvantage.

The four of them were talking, and after a toast, Tutai said, "Master Kazekage, when I was in Yunyin Village, I heard that Longin Village bought a batch of cotton clothes and winter equipment from Shayin City. Can you sell a batch to Yun Nin because of the friendship between the two parties?"

Hoshino Mu pinched the stem of the goblet, looked at the rose-colored liquid in the glass and said, "Mr. Tutai, there are not many such things as padded clothes in Sand Hidden City. You need them for three seasons at most, and the entire Kingdom of Wind I have to prepare for New Year’s Eve, with so many people, the production capacity is very tight~”

"Of course we know that too. How about this, if Sand Ninja needs our help, Kazekage-sama can bring it up, and we can help each other."

Hoshino Mu put down his wine glass, looked at the only remaining eye on the earthen platform, and said, "This is a good proposal. There are indeed many places where the two sides can cooperate. For example, the scientific research manpower in Hidden Sand City has always been in short supply. Some people come to help?"

Tutai pursed his lips. Some of the people sent to help last time even had children in the hidden sand city, and they were purely meat buns beating dogs.

But he didn't immediately refuse.

One is that the village really needs these winter supplies.Secondly, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to break into Hidden Sand City.

As the products of Hidden Sand City, especially some high value-added products entered the Land of Thunder, Yun Nin also set his sights on the research institute of Hidden Sand City.

It’s just that the security there is strict, and there are always elite ninjas stationed there, and it’s very close to Sand Hidden City. At that time, Yun Nin himself was still fighting with Konoha, so he couldn’t spare enough power to inquire about the situation here. Now, maybe it's a good opportunity.

"Master Kazekage, I need to report this matter to Raikage, but I think there should be a win-win result for both parties."

Xi heard the words, glanced at the soil platform, his eyes were restrained and he didn't speak.

After this matter is finished, the two sides don't have much to discuss. After the children finish eating, the banquet will come to an end.

"Hey, you've gone too far this time."

Back at the hotel, the earthen platform poured tea and said.

Standing by the window, Xi stared at a man who was eating, but kept staring at the door of the hotel from time to time, through the gap between the curtains, and said casually, "If you don't act brighter, how can you attract Kazekage's attention?"

Hearing this, Tutai frowned.

"What do you want to do?"

Xi did not answer directly, but said: "When I passed by the place called the Secretariat, I heard the voice of the people inside, which was the accent of Konoha. Although it was only a little bit, it can be reasonably speculated that people from other villages still have the ability to enter the sand The possibility of the heart of the hidden city, and even access to some confidential documents."

Saying that, Xi turned his head to look at the soil platform.

"Hoshino Mu is really courageous, we can't let go of this opportunity."

Hearing this, Tutai frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You want to get close to Fengying? It's not easy. And you know, the village plans"

"A plan is just a plan if it is not implemented."

Xi put her arms around her chest and interrupted: "I know that the village is afraid of a huge sand hidden city, and I also think sand ninjas are a very big threat, but what should we do? If we confront directly, sand ninjas will not Those who take the initiative to attack us by water, the war will be placed in the land of fire, and Konoha will be the first to resist. Master Tutai, how many people in the village do you think will desperately defend Konoha?"

"It's not for Konoha, it's for ourselves!"

Tutai frowned and retorted.

"I know! But do other people know? They only know that Konoha's hands are covered with the blood of his companions, and the blood has not dried up yet. To be honest, I can't even guarantee that when the three parties are together, they will be the first to wave at Konoha." Whether the sword is Sand Shinobi, maybe our people are more likely. Of course, the same is true for Konoha.”

At the end of Xi's speech, the originally agitated mood gradually calmed down, and she said softly: "This alliance is just a joke."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Tutai said, "So you want to dismantle Shayin City from the inside?"

"This is the most beneficial plan for us. The sand ninja who annexed Yanyin Village cannot digest this ninja village of the same size in a short period of time. The customs and history of both sides, and the tragic record in the past, there are too many places for us Play to your heart's content. As long as I enter the secretariat, I can use this status to do many things that the elite Jnin cannot do, isn't this much better than the coalition forces with different ideas?"

The more Xi Yue said, the more excited she became: "There is also Samuel, she is a smart person, she should know what the village wants to do when she is sent here, when the time comes, we will be inside and outside, not only will Sand Hidden City not be a threat to us, but it will be able to Help us consume Konoha, Lord Tutai, isn't that good?"

It's a pity that Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't hear Xi's impassioned words, otherwise he would have to give him a compliment.

Tutai frowned into the word 'Chuan', and after a long time, looking at Xi, who was immature, said, "Don't take Kazekage as a fool, if you can be easily fooled by the people below, you can't be in this position. And, Raikage-sama After training you for so many years, it is not for you to be a spy."

As he said that, Tutai couldn't help but recall the calm and calm boy when they first met.

It would have been nice if he had been stabbed to death.

He did not know how many times he had expressed such emotion, but it is a pity that some people, if they were not stabbed at that time, they would never have the chance to stab them again.

"grown ups."

Xi still wants to fight for it again. He is sure to become Fengying's right-hand man with his own ability, and he is also sure to pass all tests of loyalty.

But Tutai just shook his head.

"If you really want to do this, go and convince Raikage-sama."

As he spoke, his eyelids slightly retracted, and he ignored Xi who was looking restless.

On the other side, Hoshino Mu, who had returned to Kazekage's office, was also talking to Luo Sha about Yun Nin.

"Deploy manpower from the west to the east, and take precautions at the southern port. We will start when the earthen platform leaves."

Luo Sha leaned against the wall with his arms folded and asked with a frown, "Do you think Yunin will attack us?"

Hoshino Mu smiled contemptuously: "If it's just for the winter, the cotton clothes Yun Nin grabbed are enough, why do you still come to us to buy them?"

Looking at Luo Sha's frown, Hoshino Mu shook his head and explained: "They are prepared for the large amount of cotton clothes to be consumed, and they need to store a batch in advance. Apart from war, what other circumstances will cotton clothes be consumed in large quantities? Which one is there? Ninja Village has the strength to make Yunin a large number of staff reductions? Thinking about Yunin’s sudden truce with Konoha, it’s not too obvious what these bastards are thinking.”

"And" Hoshino Mu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling and peaceful Shayin City outside, and said softly: "The war is in winter."
