CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 526: CLEARING THE RELATIONSHIP

Chapter 526: Clearing the relationship

The reception ninja of Konohagakure looked at the Mizukage in front of him with a look of astonishment as he walked straight past him, and was completely in chaos.

However, Kaito didn’t care what others thought.

With a smile on his face, he took Hoshigaki Kisame to the other side of the Kumogakure ninja who was also at a loss.

"Hey, what are you looking at? After all, I was invited by your Kumogakure to be a witness, why don’t you lead the way?"

The Kumogakure ninja who was pointed out by Kaito looked at the smiling young Mizukage in front of him, and for a moment he didn’t know how to answer.

It stands to reason that Kaito’s request was a bit abrupt, but it was not excessive in fact, on the contrary, the reason was very legitimate.

But the relationship between the Kumogakure Village and the Kirigakure Village was not very good. Even the previous broken arm of the current Raikage was caused by the Mizukage in front of him.

In addition, the Kumogakure side did not tell him about this matter in advance. How dare he, a small Chunin, take the initiative to take outsiders to his own camp to rest?

Fortunately, at this time, perhaps because of the news of Kaito’s arrival, Dodai from Kumogakure in the distance was rushing over here with a small group of people.

On the other side, Nara Shikaku from Konohagakure also arrived at almost the same time.

"Mizukage-sama!" x2

Perhaps because of the previous move at the Five Kage meeting.

Nara Shikaku and Dodai, who came over now, were very respectful to Kaito.

Kaito casually waved his hand and asked curiously.

"We are all old acquaintances, so it seems that the Hokage and the Raikage have also arrived?"

"To answer the question of Mizukage-sama, Hokage has already arrived yesterday."

Nara Shikaku replied respectfully.

Dodai on the side also said.

"Raikage-sama has also arrived."

Kaito heard this and showed a sly smile on his face.

"Since everyone is here, why not start the negotiations early? There is no need to have an auspicious date for this kind of thing, right?"

The previously agreed date for the negotiations was tomorrow afternoon.

However, as Kaito said, this kind of thing is actually for the two villages to sit down and discuss a ceasefire condition that everyone can accept.

Moreover, because of the external pressure from the other three great ninja villages, the final ceasefire result will basically not have any variables, and it seems that it is not that important to arrive one day earlier or later.

However, before Nara Shikaku could speak, Dodai of Kumogakure immediately showed an embarrassment on his face and carefully persuaded him.

"Mizukage-sama, please don’t joke around. How can you change this date at will? Moreover, there are still elders in the village who need to participate in the negotiations who have not arrived yet. Please wait for another day."

Kaito heard this and looked at Dodai who was speaking with a smile.

"Your elders in Kumogakure are quite arrogant. Your own Raikage has arrived in advance, but the elders haven’t shown up yet?"

Dodai saw this and smiled bitterly, but didn’t explain anything.

In fact, there are no elders who haven’t arrived yet?

Even Dodai, the chief of staff of Kumogakure, didn’t know why his own Raikage had to set the time of the negotiations so rigidly, and he didn’t even know why the Mizukage was invited to the negotiations.

However, facing questions from outsiders, he could only try his best to find some excuses to evade the question for his own Raikage.

Seeing this, Kaito didn’t continue to ask, but smiled and said,

"Dodai-san, please introduce this elder to me later."

"But since the meeting hasn’t started yet, please take me to find a place to rest for a night."

As he said that, Kaito turned around and said hello to Nara Shikaku.

"Nara-san, please tell Minato-san about the situation here. See you later."

Afterwards, Kaito ignored the reactions of others and walked straight towards the direction of the Kumogakure Camp.

Although Dodai was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly chased after him.

As for Kaito, after seeing Dodai following him, he started chatting with him.

"I heard that the two-tailed Jinchuriki of your village was seriously injured in the previous battle. I wonder how she is now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mizukage. Yugito’s injury has stabilized and she was sent back to the village to recuperate a few days ago."

"Really? There is still an organization behind the scenes in the ninja world that is attacking the tailed beasts. I think the Kumogakure Village needs to strengthen some precautions in this regard."

"That’s true, but they returned with the front-line troops before, so I think..."

As the distance got farther and farther, the conversation between the two gradually weakened.

Only Nara Shikaku remained where he was.

Nara Shikaku looked at Kaito’s receding figure thoughtfully, and recalled the conversation between the few people before. Then he frowned slightly and hurried back to the direction of the Konohagakure camp.

Kaito met the Raikage and didn’t notice anything unusual.

He originally wanted to ask Dodai to take him and the secretary Kisame to walk around the camp.

But who would have thought that the other party would refuse him with a face full of embarrassment and say something like "the camp is simple and there is nothing to see".

Kaito thought that he was just here to watch the show this time, so he was too lazy to bother with the other party. After expressing his dissatisfaction slightly, he went directly to the tent prepared for him to rest.

Looking at Hoshigaki Kisame sitting upright on the side, Kaito was a little annoyed.

"I should have brought Zabuza with me!"

He was used to the convenience of having a perception ninja around him. Now that Zabuza was gone, Kaito always had the illusion that he was missing an eye.

His own Sage Mode and Blue’s malicious perception do have a certain detection effect, but compared to the ability of the Byakugan, there is still a gap.

’It seems that for the next lottery I will have to consider getting a perception ability.’

Kaito’s own talent for perception is not high. Instead of wasting time on learning perception, it is better to look forward to the almighty lottery.

Thinking of this, Kaito simply opened the system panel and looked for suitable perception abilities in various prize pools.

’Odor Sleuth? It seems to be a little bit off. Mind’s Eye? Miracle Eye? I can’t see the introduction, and I don’t know if there is any perception effect.’

There was no conversation overnight.

The next day, Kaito and Hoshigaki Kisame woke up early.

However, the Kirigakure Village seemed to have made up their minds not to start negotiations until the time was right. It was dragged until the afternoon before the negotiations between the two parties officially started.

However, this kind of negotiation is just a closed-door discussion between the two parties on conditions and compensation. Even with the addition of an outsider like Kaito, it is not much different.

Moreover, Kaito noticed that during this negotiation, the Fourth Raikage changed his impulsiveness and recklessness.

He was very fussy about the details of the negotiation.

From the initial high demands to the subsequent arguments, it seemed that every clause had to be carefully discussed with the Konohagakure side.

Kaito felt a little bored and simply said nothing, just watching the verbal battle between the two parties as a bystander.

But what was more interesting was that Kaito noticed that Nara Shikaku, who was supposed to be a think tank and accompany Namikaze Minato in the negotiations, did not show up during the entire negotiation process.
