At the same time, he was also thinking about the reason why Danzang was talking to him.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Shoutu's face, Tanzang only smiled slightly without any intention of explaining.
Both parties walked through the corridor and entered a spacious conference room. They sat down on both sides of the long table.
The long-awaited negotiation officially began.
After a round of verbal sparring, both of them quickly understood each other's request.
There were five specific conditions for Hidekazu to join the roots:
Firstly, the regiment treasury needed to negotiate with Yuan Fei Ri Zhan and let Zi Chuan Xiu smoothly transfer from the Dark Group to the roots. This process could not arouse Yuan Fei Ri Zhan's suspicion.
In the future, the group treasury would provide protection for Shue Shinkawa to prevent the other higher-ups from causing trouble for him.
Secondly, Tuan Zang had to provide Ninjutsu resources to Shue without any conditions and allow Shue to read the Book of Seals.
He would also prepare everything for his cultivation.
For example, a separate training room, training equipment, precious medicinal herbs, and high-level Genin that could be used for practice.
Third, Shue's position in the root should be above all the root ninjas, and he would only listen to the orders of the group.
Fourthly, the group trove must not be used to harm Hidekazu by any means or for any reason. Otherwise, Hidekazu had the right to retaliate.
Fifth, Root's archives would be fully open to Hidekazu. Hidekazu would have the authority to access all the information gathered by Root.
The above five points were the most important points that Shoutu could think of for the time being. The team only raised some objections to the second and fifth points.
"There are a lot of ninjutsu collected by the root. Among them, C and B grade ninjutsu are at your disposal.
However, most of the A-level and S-level ninjutsu were in the Book of Seals.”Tuan Zang's tone was calm as he explained the reason,""Even I need a proper reason to access the Book of Seals, and there aren't many forbidden techniques that I can copy.
I don't need to explain the value of these forbidden techniques to you, so you have to make contributions in exchange.”
Hideyoshi narrowed his eyes and said in a hostile tone,""I think that you shouldn't be like the Flying Ape Sun Slash that prevaricated with me, right? I'm sure you know why I'm relying on you.”
"I'm different from that guy, Nikizawa. I'm never stingy with resources when it comes to nurturing capable subordinates.
But first, you have to show your ability and value. This is not something that can be summarized by just saying that you can fight.”Tuan Zang tightly guarded the bottom line, not giving in an inch.
"But don't worry. As long as you can satisfy me, I won't be stingy with the Book of Seals or other precious resources.”
"Many of the Ninja Realm treasures collected by the roots are beyond your imagination.”
Tanzang knew very well what he had on him that attracted Shue Shikawa. It was precisely because of this that he would not hand over all his chips at once and completely lose the initiative in the negotiation.
Hidekazu did not reply for the time being. He leaned back on the chair behind him and closed his eyes to think about the pros and cons.
If he suddenly attacked here, he had at least a seventy percent chance of capturing Tuan Zang alive and then using the Mind Transference Technique to read his memories.
However, the risk of doing so was that he wasn't sure how many forbidden techniques the group had memorized. If the number was too little, it would be a loss, equivalent to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
After that, regardless of whether he killed or let Tanzang go, Mu Ye could not stay any longer.
At the very least, the other party knew his true strength. Whether it was strength or influence, his team was incomparable to Naruto. He believed that this old fellow would not dare to play tricks in front of him.
In just a short while, Hidekazu opened his eyes and his sharp gaze instantly focused on Tanzo."Alright, I'll accept the condition of exchanging high-level resources for meritorious service.”
Tuan Zang heaved a subtle sigh of relief, then brought up the fifth condition: "The archives at the root involve many secrets of Muye. I can allow you to access most of the information, but there are some things that only the higher-ups can grasp.”
Hidekazu had no objections to this. After all, he had only brought this up because he wanted to use Root's information channel to understand some things in the Ninja Realm and see if there was anything good worth taking for himself.
Hidekazu had no interest in this old matter of Koba.
Seeing that the conditions were settled, Tanzang began to explain his duties to Shue.
They were basically old-fashioned rules: For example, they were not allowed to betray Muye, not allowed to betray the root, not allowed to reveal the root's situation to the outside world, not allowed to spread the forbidden ninjutsu, not allowed to disobey orders without a legitimate reason, and so on.
Team Zang did not make any excessive requests, perhaps because he knew that it was useless. Ninjas of the same level as Shue Nishikawa naturally had their own pride. Now that the other party was willing to work for him, Team Zang was already very satisfied.
After interacting with him for a while, Tuan Zang finally understood a little of Shue's personality. Although the other party was young, he was extremely mature in his words and actions. He saw the problem straight to the point and made swift and decisive decisions.
There was no naivety of a young man on Shouta. When negotiating with him, it was all about interests. Shouta had no interest in the righteousness of the village or the will of fire.
Tuan Zang did not dislike this. After all, Shue's goal was clear and he only cared about benefits. This was much easier to control than those strong people with ideals.
However, there were also many flaws in his body. For example, he had a strong personality and a bad temper. If he was slightly dissatisfied, he would want to shout and kill.
(When he was talking about the second condition, Tanzou keenly sensed the malice that Shoutu had towards him.)
But overall, they were happy to have recruited such an expert so easily.
In order to make Shue return to his side as soon as possible, Tanzang decided to give him some benefits.
He took out a scroll from his pocket and threw it to Shoutu.
"This is?" He was not in a hurry to open the scroll. Instead, he looked at the group stash in confusion.
Tuan Zang seemed to casually say,"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
I can see that your shadow clones are very powerful. If you can increase the number, I believe it can effectively increase your strength.”
" I guess it's a little useful…" Hidekazu pursed his lips. This technique was not very useful to him, but it could be used for cultivation.
He flipped open the scroll and glanced at it. He commented indifferently,"It can increase my efficiency in cleaning up the trash.”
"This is my sincerity." Tuanzang did not care about Shue's attitude and continued,""Multiple Shadow Clone is an A-grade ninjutsu. If it was Sun Slash, I wouldn't have taken it out so easily.”
" So, Hidekazu…" Tanzo's expression revealed a rare sincerity.
"I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."
Hidekazu looked away from the scroll and nodded.""Alright, team hide."
