Chapter 988 Negotiations Fail
Yagura had obviously already discussed it with Chiyo, so he didn't undermine Chiyo at this time.
He spread his hands, indicating:
"Our Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village have maintained a good relationship over the years. Even if we do not choose to merge with the Hidden Leaf Village, the Hidden Leaf Village will not resort to force against us."
"Onoki, you don't need to worry about me. We're not on the same path."
Onoki was taken aback; he hadn't expected that Yagura would believe in Chiyo to this extent.
Having come to this point, what makes him think that Qianyao won't attack the Land of Water?
Unless there are shared interests, an alliance is just a piece of paper.
How could Yagura be so muddle-headed?
"Yagura, haven't you learned your lesson from the Land of Wind's past mistakes?"
"Konoha will never coexist peacefully with you!"
Onoki warned Yagura in a deep voice, he really didn't want to lose this potential ally.
But Yagura didn't even lift his eyelids, as if what Onoki said was just noise.
"Do you know that Kirigakure will be plunged into utter ruin because of your choice? How will you face it then...?"
"Shut up!" Yagura's eyes narrowed, his anger flaring.
"I am the Mizukage!"
"It's none of your business, Tsuchikage, to interfere in our Kirigakure affairs!"
Onoki was speechless, and could only say resentfully:
"You'll regret this, Mizukage!"
"Click." At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Yekura, dressed in the Kazekage outfit, and Miroku, dressed in the shrine maiden attire, entered. Behind them was a woman in gorgeous clothes, but no one recognized her.
Onoki looked at Yekura, his eyes shining with a sense of exploration.
I wonder what Yekura's stance is at this time.
Meanwhile, the Bear Country side suddenly stood up.
"My lady, what are you doing here?"
The Land of Bears is located right next to the Land of Demons.
After all the villagers of the Land of Demons were transferred away by Minato, the Land of Demons truly disappeared without a trace.
After discovering this situation, the neighboring Bear Country gradually occupied the territory of the Demon Country over the past few years.
Of course, they didn't dare to announce it publicly; they just did these things secretly.
Seeing that the priestess was actually in Konoha, I was completely dumbfounded.
The priestess Miroku nodded slightly to the representative of the Bear Kingdom:
"Our Land of Demons was completely incorporated into Konoha several years ago, and its people have been living in Konoha for a long time, but the outside world doesn't know it."
"I have come here to announce this matter."
The representative from the Bear Kingdom's expression shifted several times before he steeled himself and said, "Our Bear Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom have always been on friendly terms."
"We will follow the lead of the priestess and our Bear Kingdom will unconditionally surrender and become part of the Fire Kingdom."
The words of the representative from the Bear Country were not an excuse. Their country had always relied on the prestige of the priestess to avoid war.
Although it has not been particularly wealthy over the years, it has experienced few natural disasters and man-made calamities, and there has been little war among the neighboring countries.
The people naturally held the shaman in high esteem.
The Land of Demons disappeared overnight, and the surrounding countries only discovered it much later.
They are too far away, and a lot of information doesn't circulate.
Now the people of the Land of Bears realize that everyone in the Land of Demons has become a member of Konoha.
There's nothing more to say at this point; we should just follow in the footsteps of the priestess.
Otherwise, if he returned to China, he would be drowned by the fervent patriots of his countrymen.
Qianyao nodded. He didn't care much about the attitude of such a small country, but it was good to save some trouble.
"Yakura, is your Sunagakure village now preparing to surrender and be incorporated into Konoha of the Land of Fire?"
Although Sunagakure has been defeated, the Kazekage's voluntary surrender carries a different meaning altogether.
Onoki looked at Yekura, who, having suffered a setback at the Mizukage's hands, was now showing signs of giving up entirely.
Amidst everyone's probing gazes, the former Kazekage, Yekura, merely glanced at Onoki.
“In the past, we, the people of Yanyin, could only take a bath once every three months, and there were very few places to live in the desert.”
"The Hokage purified a large amount of seawater and introduced it into the desert, turning the desert into a green area and bringing hope of survival to countless people."
"This is a meritorious deed that benefits the present and future generations."
"What's wrong with surrendering and joining the Land of Fire?"
"You should know that many of those desert areas can now grow crops, and people can even take a bath every three days."
Many people have no concept of being able to shower once every three days, but for someone who can't shower once every three months or even three years, this is already quite an achievement.
"I am here on behalf of the former people of the Land of Wind to express our gratitude to the Fifth Hokage."
He then bowed to Qianyao.
Everyone exclaimed "Oh!" and understood that Yekura also sided with Konoha.
Mifune of the Land of Iron was looking at the last person who came in. He felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Mr. Mifune, it's been a long time." The visitor nodded slightly, his posture not lowering in the slightest.
Mifune suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Oh, so it's Queen Kazahana Koyuki of the Snow Country. What brings you here...?"
Their conversation drew the attention of the other people in the room.
Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded to everyone, then said softly:
"Our Land of Snow also chose to join Konoha Village unconditionally."
The other villages didn't react much to the Land of Snow's actions, but the Land of Iron was different.
Their climate is similar to that of the Land of Snow, and even their exported products are highly overlapping.
Both are exports of cedarwood and fish products.
They are heavily reliant on imports from other countries, otherwise life in the Iron Kingdom would be extremely difficult.
Originally, the Land of Snow was the same as them, but in the last year or two...
The fishing and timber industries in the Land of Snow have found a steady stream of buyers from who-knows-where.
Their lives are much better than those in their Iron Country.
It seems they've gotten involved with Konoha.
With its extensive road construction and technological development, the Land of Fire has become a truly massive economy.
Will the Land of Iron remain neutral, or will it choose to merge with Konoha?
Mifune couldn't make the decision on his own, so he planned to go back and discuss it with the other leaders.
Whether it's the gentle breeze and light snow, or Miroku, or even Yekura, none of them were arranged by Chiyo.
There was no other reason; it was simply because Qianyao had forgotten about it.
Even Feng Hua Xiao Xue's side was too far away and they only just arrived.
Miroku and Yekura were both summoned by Ebizo.
In short, it played a certain role, which is fine.
Although there were many people present, Onoki could not find a single ally.
He realized that things had reached this point.
He also had no intention of using ninjutsu: "Uchiha Chiyo, others may fear your Susanoo, but I am not."
