In the office of the Earth Shadow in the Hidden Rock Village of the Earth Nation, Ono Ono was reading documents as usual.
"Hey, I'm getting old…Hey, hey, hey, my waist!”Onoki was about to stretch, but he accidentally used too much strength and hurt his waist.
Dong dong dong!
The next moment, a stocky figure rubbed his head helplessly as he walked into Tu Ying's office.
"Old man, did you hurt your waist again?" Huang Tu rubbed his head and said helplessly. He had a scroll in his hand.
"I'm getting old!" Onoki couldn't help but sigh." I'm already 50 years old. You should hurry up and give me a grandchild…"
"Cough cough cough, old man, there's a letter from the Iron Country.”Huang Tu hurriedly interrupted Dayemu and handed over the scroll in his hand. His expression turned serious." Redcliff and the others have been captured.”
"Hmm?" Onoki was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed as well. He immediately opened the scroll to read it. However, when he saw that Redcliff and the others had only been captured alive and not killed, his mood became much better.
After all, Jounin was a force that could not be underestimated. Hidden Rock Village could not afford to have a few Jounin die for no reason. It would be best if he could redeem a few Jounin with compensation.
As for the Iron Country using secret techniques to steal Hidden Rock Village's secrets? Stop joking! If a group of samurai who could not even form seals had the ability to steal information about Hidden Rock Village, he, Ohno Wood, would definitely eat this office of Earth Shadow!
" Is the Iron Country asking for compensation for food…" Onoki put down the scroll and closed his eyes to think.
"The Country of Iron is located in the northern part of the entire Ninja Realm. The climate is cold all year round, and it snows heavily in winter.”Huang Tu thought for a moment and said," Because of this, the food production of the Iron Country isn't high, so it's reasonable for them to ask for food.”
"Then how much do you think we should give?" Oki Ohno opened one eye and looked at Otoshi. After all, Otoshi was the designated successor of the fourth generation, and he also wanted to cultivate Otoshi's ability.
Now that he had handed this question to Huangtu, he also hoped that Huangtu could stand in Ying's position and think about the problem as soon as possible.
"For now, I think we should reverse our stance.”Huang Tu rubbed his chin and pondered." Redcliff and the others escorted the caravan to the Iron Country and were captured by the Iron Country for no reason. They want an explanation from the Iron Country?”
After saying that, Huang Tu looked at Ohno Wood with a questioning gaze.
" Hehehe…" Onoki nodded in satisfaction." That's right, the Iron Country has to give us a proper explanation for this! In addition, there was news that the adopted son of the three ships, Nasu Yoichi.”
"Narsuyoichi, eight years old, adopted son of the Iron Country's Great General, Mitsune. Since young, he displayed unparalleled talent in saber arts, but chose archery.”Huang Tu followed Onoki's words." I don't know his exact strength, but I guess he has the strength of a Jounin.”
After all, Nasu Yuichi's identity was there. No matter how much these ninja bosses did not care about samurai, they could not see archery clearly. However, as the adopted son of a country's general, some of his superficial information would still be placed on the table of the various Ninja villages!
"That's right." Onoki nodded." I'll use this opportunity to test the strength of this kid called Nasu Yoichi. You should first ask the Iron Country in your own way, then say that both sides will take a step back and send a young expert to fight.”
After saying that, Onoki revealed a cunning smile like a fox.
" Then, do we need to…" Huang Tu said as he made a throat-cutting gesture.
"No, there's no need to do that for the time being." Onoki waved his hand." It's important to find out about the strength of the younger generation of the Iron Country, but there's no need to force the Iron Country to stand against us.
"In addition, although the three ships have been insisting that the Iron Country not participate in the Ninja Realm activities, they are still not satisfied. But you should still go and see what that kid is thinking. Just because the three ships aren't involved in Ninja Realm doesn't mean that this kid is the same. To be able to reach Jounin at such a young age, this kid could very well be the next Iron Country's Great General!”
After all, Libra Onoki was one of the people who stood at the peak of the Ninja Realm, and one could see the viciousness of his eyes! Even if he had not seen Xu Yuyi with his own eyes and merely passed through some side information, he could also come to a conclusion that it was not much different from Yuan Fei's Sun Slash.
"Then, who should we send?" Huang Tu frowned." The other party is only eight years old. It's not suitable for us to find someone with a big age difference.”
"Redwood is done." Oyemu thought for a moment." Akimu is twelve years old this year and has the boundary of the Blood Successor Realm. His strength is barely enough to be on par with Jounin. It's enough to test him out."”
"Redwood? I understand." Huang Tu nodded." Then, if Redwood loses, what's the bottom line of our compensation?”
"You talk to them first. It would be best if you can compensate them with iron ore. If it really doesn't work, ten thousand catties of grain! This is our bottom line." Onoki thought about it and said. Although 10,000 jin of rations sounded like a lot, it was really not enough for one elite Jounin and five Jounins.
At the same time, although the Iron Country lacked food, the Earth Country also lacked food! The land of the Earth Country was mostly barren wasteland and mountainous areas. There was no reliable green land suitable for growing food.
Therefore, in Onoki's mind, rather than giving the Iron Country food, it would be more cost-effective to give them more iron ore.
"Then, I'll go prepare now." Huang Tu nodded and turned to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Onoki.
"Huangtu, have you made any progress in mastering the Dust Escape?”Onoki looked at his son and asked slowly, his eyes revealing some anticipation.
"I'm sorry, Father." Huang Tu scratched his head in embarrassment." Still no progress."”
After saying this, Huang Tu also felt a little embarrassed. After all, the Blood Succession Elimination of the Dust Escape was not inherited, but needed to be learned. Just like Onoki, he had learned how to use Dust Escape from the second-generation Earth Shadow.
"It's fine. With your earth movement skill, it's only a matter of time before you reach shadow level.”Onoki patted Huang Tu's shoulder and comforted him.
