Chapter 235 Negotiations and Orochimaru
After hearing the explanation from the Kusagakure leader, the Wuwei Jonin frowned.

The hawks and doves in Kusagakure Village only have differences in ideology. The hawks hope to take the initiative to change the current unfavorable trade environment of Kusagakure Village and win more commissions.

The doves hope to maintain the status quo, believing that as long as the village remains stable, everything will be fine.

After all, both sides are for the Kusagakure Village, but they have different ideas.

But just now, the leader of the Kusagakure Village actually expelled the Hawk Faction from the Kusagakure Village, which made him very unhappy. Does this mean that he does not recognize them, the Hawk Faction members?
After hearing Bai Ye's questioning of the leader of Kusagakure, Wuwei Jonin's mood actually improved a little.

Facing Bai Ye's questioning, the leader of Kusagakure quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. What I want to say is that the relationship between Kusagakure and Yugyakure should not be affected by a few extreme ninjas."

Seeing that Bai Ye was still staring at him, the leader of Kusagakure sighed inwardly, and then said: "What do the two adults want Kusagakure Village to do in order to let us go?"

Bai Ye and Nagato looked at each other and said, "In addition to solving the border issue, we are here to cooperate with the Kusagakure Village on behalf of the leader."

"I heard that your village's economy has not been very prosperous in recent years, and even the number of commissions has decreased a lot. It would be great if your village is willing to sign an agreement and join the Hidden Rain Village trade system."

Hearing this, the Kusagakure leader frowned.

It's not like he hasn't signed similar agreements before. Just after the Ninja World War ended, he signed an alliance agreement with Konoha.

But signing the agreement is not without cost. The price of being an ally with Konoha is freedom of trade and freedom of delegation.

Both parties can trade freely and accept commissions freely.

These things seem to be mutually beneficial, but in fact, due to the size advantage of Konoha and the Land of Fire, the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village have been being sucked dry.

The goods of the Grass Kingdom are definitely not as good as those of the Fire Kingdom, and the number and quality of ninjas are not as good as those of the Konoha Village.

Now that the agreement signed with Konoha has not yet been completed, the Hidden Rain Village has rushed over to sign another agreement. This will only make the economy of the Grass Country worse and worse.

As the head of a village, Chief Kusagakure could not accept and would not submit to these harsh conditions.

At this time, the jonin Wuwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up to the leader of Kusagakure and whispered in his ear: "Master, the Box of Bliss has been lost. We have lost our last ability to resist."

"Moreover, the Hidden Rain Village is occupying the moral high ground this time, and the conditions they offer seem very fair. It seems that we have no chance to object."

“If you insist on doing it your way, you don’t know what the other person will do.”

Wuwei Jonin is not only a Jonin of the Kusagakure Village, but also a core member of the Hawk Faction and the lord of Kizuna Castle.

After hearing what the Lord of the semi-independent Ghost Lantern City said, the leader of Kusagakure knew that he had no choice but to come to Bai Ye and say:
"The Hidden Grass Village is willing to cooperate with the Hidden Rain Village."

Seeing that the leader of Kusagakure agreed to cooperate, Bai Ye nodded, and then whispered to Nagato:

"Nagato, I'll leave everything to you. I'm not good at the specific details of the negotiation, but I believe in your ability to make them obey."

Nagato felt a little guilty, but Bai Ye had already disappeared, so he could only negotiate with a cold face.

However, this expressionless face was obviously very useful. The Kusagakure leader and others were immediately shocked by the unfathomable aura.

After Bai Ye witnessed this scene in secret, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at the benefits of Nagato's social phobia.

When Nagato was a war orphan, this kind of social phobia would be considered introverted and lonely, but now Nagato has the combat power of a Kage, which is the style of a strong man. In the dark forest of the ninja world, the strong can do whatever they want.

Like the first Hokage, Uchiha Madara, and even the current three ninjas of Konoha, they all have their own shortcomings, but as long as their fists are strong enough, others will naturally obey them.

His current strength is considered strong enough in the entire ninja world, but it is still a little weak compared to those monsters.

He actually doesn't have high requirements for his own strength. As long as he can surpass Ashura and Indra's reincarnation of the same period, it will be enough. It would be best if he can defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki.

……

the other side.

Bai Ye's clone, who had set up a sealing formation, waited for the person he was waiting for.

After entering the underground space, Orochimaru saw the Paradise Box with the devil's portrait carved on it. After taking a look at it for a few seconds, he said to Bai Ye:

"Captain Bai Ye, you called me here this time just for the Box of Bliss?"

Bai Ye glanced at Orochimaru, and then said, "It sounds like you know a lot about the Box of Bliss. Come to think of it, Orochimaru is well-read and should have known about the treasure of the Box of Bliss a long time ago."

"But aren't you interested in a treasure like the Box of Bliss that can fulfill wishes?"

"The Box of Bliss is not a treasure..."

Orochimaru paused, then said, "I have looked up the history of the Land of Grass. Every time the Box of Bliss is opened, lives are lost, and the person who opens it will die for inexplicable reasons."

"Otherwise, such treasures would not be kept by the Kusagakure Village."

Bai Ye smiled, and then said: "As expected of you, Senior Orochimaru. You know more about the Box of Bliss than I do. But Senior Orochimaru, do you really not consider studying the Box of Bliss?"

"How does the Box of Bliss fulfill wishes? What is the principle behind it?"

"Besides, the Box of Bliss is a treasure left by the legendary Six Paths Sage. Are you really not interested in it at all?"

Orochimaru moved his tongue, swirled the air around, and said:
"Now that Chief Bai Ye said that, I am somewhat tempted. However, if I come up with any results from my research, would that mean that the Chief owes me a favor?"

Orochimaru still values ​​his relationship with Byakuya very much.

After learning about the compatibility of Wood Release and Uchiha from Byakuya last time, he immediately took out the blood plundered from Uchiha, and after fusing it with Hashirama's cells in a certain proportion, the two sides unexpectedly became stable.

This shows that Bai Ye's theory is correct and Uchiha can really transplant some of Hashirama's cells.

If he had not made an agreement with Bai Ye and had not defected from Konoha, he really wanted to capture a three-magatama Uchiha for research to see if he could train a ninja who was perfectly adapted to Wood Release.

If he were to perform the reincarnation technique in the future, such a ninja would be perfect.

And he also had a vague doubt in his heart, why is it that the Uchiha, who is hostile to the Senju, can carry Hashirama's cells? On the contrary, the adaptability of the descendants of the Senju is not so exaggerated.
