Mitokado Homura stared at the Daimyō of the Land of Rice Fields, asking him to express his opinion.
"ah!"
Sakata Ichi was startled by Mitokado Homura's gaze and suddenly woke up. His heart seemed to stop beating, and two beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped out of his forehead and dripped onto the ground.
He said hesitantly.
"Princess Tsunade, the Senju clan has declined, this is a fact recognized by the ninja world.
Land of Fields is grateful for the contributions of the Senju clan, but the Senju clan is no longer qualified to continue to serve as Land of Fields's partner.
As Elder Mitokado Homura said, the Five Great Nations are the best choice.
Konohagakure is more suitable for the current Land of Rice Fields."
At the beginning, Sakata Ichi was a little stuttering, but by the end, his words were full of pride.
He did not feel that betrayal was a shame, but instead felt that he had made the most correct choice.
Sakata Ichi's attitude surprised everyone.
Mitokado Homura was very satisfied that he could stand firmly on the side of Konohagakure at this time, and speak so openly, and also involve Sunagakure and Kumogakure.
With the statement from the Daimyō of Land of Fields, the future distribution method will be decided by them.
A from Kumogakure and Ebizō from Sunagakure also focused their attention on the Daimyō of the Land of Rice Fields.
Such a person can say that shamelessness is justified. He is truly a talent. Just like the politicians in their country, they despise him from the bottom of their hearts.
Appearing in other countries can bring them huge benefits.
Tsunade was filled with anger, but had no place to vent it.
Being able to speak of betrayal as if it were a matter of course, he wanted to blame him, but he had no right to do so.
Now she appears in the Land of Rice Fields as a ninja from Konohagakure.
I was filled with disappointment towards Konohagakure.
"Sakata Ichi, have you forgotten that the country of rice is what it is today thanks to the Senju clan?
Why did you ask me to come this time?"
Tsunade roared angrily, clenching her fists and preparing to attack.
However, the words he said were not as beautiful as those of Sakata Ichi. There was a sense of self-pity in his words.
Only then did he realize that he was not the same kind of person as the daimyo of Konohagakure and the Land of Rice Fields, and was only suitable to fight as a ninja.
When he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ebizō, he felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
On the battlefield of Amegakure, Chiyo's poison technique is exerting unimaginable power.
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to withdraw from the battlefield in Amegakure and come to Land of Fields to participate in negotiations. He originally thought that this was to ease the conflict with the Senju clan and play a role, but now it seems that he is just a victim.
While talking.
Tsunade's pupils shrank to the size of green beans, and the whites of her eyes occupied the entire eye sockets. She seemed to understand something.
She is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the tool used to control Nawaki Senju.
The corners of his mouth curved down, revealing a bitter smile.
The clenched fists in his hands also loosened.
Sakata Ichi looked at Tsunade with a look of pity and regret, then became extremely determined. He convinced himself with his own reasons.
"Tsunade-sama, the Senju clan will always be friends of the Land of Rice Fields.
But Land of Fields cannot accompany the Senju clan to death.
Decades of cooperation and decades of benefits are enough to repay the Senju clan's kindness.
Land of Fields doesn't owe the Senju clan anything, so you shouldn't continue to pester them.
The Senju clan that betrayed Konohagakure is doomed to decline."
Sakata's words showed no fear of Tsunade at all, and turned into a sermon.
He did not think that Land of Fields owed the Senju clan any favor, and that the Senju clan had become a burden.
The previous alliance was a gift from their Land of Fields to the Senju clan.
Now they have firmly stood on Konohagakure's side.
"good!
That makes sense. Konohagakure is the strongest support of the Land of Rice Fields.
The changes in the Land of Rice Fields now are that Konohagakure is taking back its own property. The Senju clan has relied on Konohagakure's majesty and enjoyed too much of Konohagakure's protection, but has no intention of giving back to Konohagakure.
Since you have betrayed Konohagakure, these benefits should continue to be enjoyed by Konohagakure."
Mitokado Homura's face was full of smiles as he praised Sakata Ichi's choice.
No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi told him before he came to try his best to save Itada. It turned out that he was Konohagakure's most loyal partner.
They also need a white glove, a legitimate reason, to fight for Konohagakure's legitimate interests.
Sakata, whose family has already entered Konohagakure, is the best choice.
"Oh..."
"…"
A from Kumogakure and Ebizō from Sunagakure sneered at the same time, looked at each other and shook their heads.
He looked down upon Sakata Ichi, who betrayed his country's interests.
"I see."
Tsunade slumped weakly in a chair beside her.
He glanced around the conference room and realized that he was the one who knew nothing.
She is the outsider in this conference room, used to restrain the Senju clan and Nawaki Senju.
She should reconsider her relationship with Konohagakure.
"Everyone, let's get down to business. I believe the Daimyō of the Land of Fields will support the outcome of our discussion."
A hint of pride flashed in Mitokado Homura's eyes, and he spoke to A and Ebizō.
Tsunade is just a tool and has fully recognized her position, so his mission can be completed smoothly.
Just make the Senju clan and the Land of Fields suffer a little, sacrifice them, and give the ninja world a chance for peace.
According to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konohagakure only needs to get 30% of the food output to deal with various situations.
From the perspective of strength, Konohagakure has the ability to take more things.
Sacrificing some interests, or the interests of insignificant people, to appease Kumogakure and Sunagakure and help Konohagakure deal with the Senju clan is the best outcome.
"Kumogakure gets 40%, Konohagakure gets 30%, Sunagakure gets 20%, and the Land of Rice Fields gets 10%. That's it."
A from Kumogakure is tired of this game and proposes a distribution plan.
Mitokado Homura thought for a long time, nodded slightly, and agreed to the distribution plan of Kumogakure.
Even though they had lost their dominance over the Land of Rice Fields, they had achieved their goal of excluding the Senju clan from the distribution of benefits.
Ebizō was bewildered. Could such a good thing really be possible? He frowned and fell silent, feeling that things couldn't be that simple.
The Daimyō of the Land of Fields had a bitter look on his face.
This distribution method is extremely unreasonable and unexpected.
The purpose of introducing more competitors was to benefit the Land of Rice Fields, but it did not achieve the desired effect. I didn't expect Konohagakure to be so weak.
Konohagakure is not as powerful as imagined, and the benefits gained by the Land of Rice Fields are not as good as when it cooperated with the Senju clan.
In a trance, he realized that the people in front of him were representatives of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and he had no right to resist.
Fortunately, Konohagakure promised him personal benefits, enough to make him sell his country.
To cover up the guilt towards the country and the apology towards the Senju clan.
He put on a fake smile on his face and did not dare to resist the bandits who were dividing the country of fields.
Tsunade, with a gloomy face, showed a sarcastic smile on her face, as if asking, is this what you call a more suitable choice?
"Let's sign the covenant!"
Mitokado Homura took out the alliance treaty that had been prepared long ago from somewhere and prepared to sign it without making any changes to the content.
Tsunade looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
Such harsh conditions were put forward in such an absurd way, and everyone actually accepted it as a default.
He remembered what Tobirama Senju said.
"Little Tsunade, if you want to accomplish anything, the effort you put in begins before it happens."
I remember that at that time, it was Tobirama Senju who forced Madara Uchiha to leave Konohagakure, and no Uchiha clan member followed him.
