Konoha has a total of nine people, which is too many for a team that focuses on communication. There were not many battles expected, and the attack from Orochimaru that might have been guessed did not appear. If Konoha's tasks were all this level, it would be too easy.

It didn't take long before Terumi Mei, the fifth-generation Megumi Mizukage, came to the scene. She didn't put on the iconic cloak that symbolized Mizuyage. She wore a dark close-fitting dress, showing her graceful figure in front of everyone's eyes.

Mizuki glanced at it. The first impression of this Terumi Mei was very vague. On the surface, it looked like he was in his early thirties, but in fact, he was about the same age as Mizuki, slightly older than Hatake Kakashi, but with a serious expression and maturity. Dressed and dressed up, looks a little older than her actual age. The long brown hair covered most of his forehead and right eye, and only the exposed green left eye revealed a smell that no strangers should approach, which made people involuntarily stay away, with a face that did not smile much, exuding She has the aura of a lazy and easy-going superior, and the oppression brought by the five generations of Mesui Ying makes people dare not ignore it. This is a strong woman with a strong desire to control.

Terumi Mei, who appeared with a strong aura, only brought two unfamiliar Anbu guards, and Changjurou, Ao, and Anbu Commander "Sword", who had met with the Konoha group, were not there.

Jiraiya doesn't really like this kind of occasion. With his unrestrained nature, he prefers to look around and find some inspiration for his own creation. If it weren't for the importance of this time, and Naruto was also here, say Maybe it's time to let go. Although the "Xiao" organization is supposed to stop its activities, it is better to be cautious when Naruto Uzumaki's strength is not enough to protect himself.

After everyone was seated, Terumi Mei said vigorously, "Your honored guest is here, Wuyin Village is really simple, and the reception is not good, please forgive me."

"You're too polite." The leader, Zilai also said with a big smile: "We all feel the enthusiasm of your village."

Indeed, the attitude of Wuyin Village is very low. As two Ninja villages that communicate on an equal footing, there is no need to be so lowly.

When it comes to hospitality, the Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi teams who have only arrived not long ago still don’t have a deep understanding. Jiraiya, who has stayed for many days, is almost at the point of “not thinking about Sichuan”. In order to take good care of this famous Jiraiya, one of the "Three Forbearances", can be considered painstakingly.

"It's so good." Since he was still satisfied, Terumi Mei stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "I wonder if your village agrees with the covenant between Kiriyin Village and Konoha?"

"That's it." Jiraiya replied, "We have no objection to form an alliance with Kiriyin Village. Peaceful coexistence is the common wish of everyone. Moreover, for the "Xiao" organization that has penetrated into the ninja world and endangered this world, it must be foggy. Hidden Village also knows very well that under a common threat, joint defense is the best choice. But…”

"But what?" Terumi Mei asked.

Jiraiya's words are very clear, the general trend, alliance is what it should be, each gets what they need, plus they have a common powerful enemy, alliance is inevitable, but there may be a lot of room for bargaining on the details. .

For specific matters, Hatake Kakashi, who was entrusted by Tsunade, had to come to discuss it.

"Mizukage-sama." Hatake Kakashi took out a sealed scroll, put it in front of him, and sent it forward, "This is Tsunade-sama's receipt, please take a look."

Anbu behind Terumi Mei stepped forward, took the scroll, checked it, and handed it to Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei opened the scroll and frowned at the contents of the scroll. After a long time, after carefully reading Konoha Village's answer, Terumi Mei asked, "Kirikura can accept the matter of the country of waves, after all Konoha's The influence has greatly surpassed us. Since you have already intervened, we will naturally not do anything more. The kinship with Konoha, which has long been abandoned, can no longer be developed in that direction, but... "

Terumi Mei said dissatisfiedly: "The distribution ratio of commissioned tasks is so low, is this a humiliation to Kiriyin Village?"

The sphere of influence that has long been lost can be given to Konoha, but the number of tasks entrusted as the lifeline of the ninja village is a battlefield where every inch of land is fought for. As long as there are enough commissioned tasks, there will be enough commissions to cultivate more excellent ninjas, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the ninja village. At this time, Konoha is striving for greater interests even when the manpower to complete the existing tasks is stretched, because only this is the guarantee for the prosperity of a ninja village chief.

Under the pressure of Terumi Mei, Hatake Kakashi said neither humble nor arrogant: "The specific reason must have been explained clearly by Hokage-sama. The geographical location of Kiriyin Village is already very limited, and the recent situation is really not good. how good."

Everyone knows the current situation of Wuyin Village, and it is unrealistic to say that there is any concealment and deception after Jilai has stayed here for so many days. The plan proposed by Konoha was actually quite tolerant, but the status quo still made Terumi Mei very dissatisfied.

"I can't deny what you said." Even if there are more quests, whether there are enough excellent ninjas to complete, Terumi Mei, who is Mizukage, knows best.

"Just as you said." The decisive Terumi Mei didn't get tangled up in trivial matters. The general situation was like this, and no amount of sophistry would help.

"However, things will always change. If the covenant is signed, as the two villages of the allied country, proper communication is also essential, then let's act according to the tradition of the ninja world, otherwise, I don't have enough. Reason to persuade my countrymen to accept this agreement..."

"Tradition?" Mizuki and Kakashi looked at each other, and then looked at Jiraiya. This kind of decision needs to be decided by a ninja of Jiraiya's identity.

After thinking about it, Zilai also nodded: "Yes."

"That's good." Terumi Mei, who had finally gained something, also showed a smile.

…

Although a preliminary agreement has been reached, there are still many details that need to be negotiated. On the way back, it was completely dark. Under the hospitality of Kirin Shinobu, the Konoha group, who had a beautiful dinner, walked on the street back to their residence.

"Hey, Mizuki-sensei, what does the "tradition of the ninja world" mean by that girl Mizukage?"
