Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 210 A Different Storm
After hearing the sound from outside, Xia Shu opened the door, and a young man with a gloomy complexion appeared in front of Xia Shu.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the man in front of him, Xia Shu was full of doubts, as if he had never had any contact with him.

"Below is the Prince of the Snow Country, Fenghua Futao. I heard that Konoha's distinguished guests are coming, so I came here to visit."

Probably in order to express his kindness, a slightly gloomy smile appeared on Feng Hua's furious face, which looked very unfriendly.

After hearing the name of the other party, Xia Shu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and complimented with a smile: "It turns out to be Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please come in."

He said disrespect on his lips, but there was no fluctuation in Xia Shu's heart, and even a little disdain. After all, Xia Shu knew that he was the mastermind behind the Snow Country incident in the original book.

Out of etiquette, Xia Shu sideways opened the body blocking the door, and welcomed the wind, flowers and raging waves into the room.

After entering the room, the two sat facing each other. Fenghua Nutao and Xia Shu exchanged simple greetings, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Long, what do you think about the situation in the Snow Country?"

Xia Shu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he didn't expect Feng Hua Nu Tao to ask him this question, after thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Your Excellency, my task is to protect the safety of the princess, for the situation in your country I don’t know, so I can’t comment.”

Feng Hua Nu Tao obviously expected such a reaction from Xia Shu, took a sip of the tea brought by the servants, and said, "If that's the case, let me introduce you briefly."

Before Xia Shu could refuse, Feng Hua Nu Tao began to talk about the current situation in the Snow Country.

"Five years ago, the daimyo, that is, my elder brother, withheld most of the funds from the tax revenue every year, resulting in a significant reduction in the military expenditure allocated to Xueren Village every year, which caused the leader of Xueren to have a big opinion on the Daming Mansion .”

"Last year, in order to wipe out a group of wandering robbers, the warriors of the Snow Country suffered heavy losses, and their strength declined sharply. Since then, Xueren Village has been in harmony with the Daming Mansion. Until now, it has basically been separated from the Daming Mansion. Take control."

"Due to the secession of Xueren Village, the control of the Daming Mansion over the Land of Snow has dropped sharply. Among the five powerful generals in the Land of Snow, only two remain loyal to the daimyo, and the two of them are the weakest. It can only guarantee the safety of Snow City."

Looking at the anxious look on Feng Hua Nu Tao's face, Xia Shu's heart moved slightly. It seems that Feng Hua Nu Tao at this time has not changed into the ruthless character who staged a coup and killed his brother, but is still a snow country A good man who worries about his future.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu's hostility towards Feng Hua Nu Tao lessened a little, and after he finished speaking, he tentatively asked: "Then, did Your Excellency take any action?"

Fenghua Futao shook his head, and said with some annoyance and some complaints: "No, he is still the same as before, withholding a large amount of money every year, indifferent to domestic affairs, and studying some messy things all day long."

After listening to Feng Hua Fu Tao's words, combined with the situation in the original book, Xia Shu already understood the whole story.

The reason why the daimyo withholds a large amount of money every year, if nothing else, must be to study the geothermal generator that uses geothermal heat to change the harsh natural environment of the Snow Country and bring hope and spring to the Snow Country.

The technology tree of Naruto World has the feeling of a slanted sword. Although black technologies appear frequently, black technologies such as geothermal generators that change the environment almost instantly still require a lot of money to complete.

With the economic level of the Snow Country, it will take at least ten years to complete it without affecting the operation of the country. In the original book, Feng Hua Nu Tao killed Feng Hua Zao Xue, so naturally he will not continue to use the geothermal generator Research and development, so the geothermal generator in the original book is a semi-finished product.

But even if Xia Shu knew, he was not going to tell Feng Hua Nu Tao, after all, he was an outsider, and even Feng Hua Nu Tao with real power didn't know about this matter, so how could he explain the source of the information when he said it?
It can't be said that spies were sent to monitor the Snow Country. This would lead to diplomatic conflicts and even wars.

Of course, even if there is a war, Konoha will not be afraid of the weak Snow Country, but this is of no benefit, and will instead affect Konoha's image in the eyes of the ninja people.

After learning about the situation in the Snow Country from Fenghua Futao, Xia Shu had no intention of participating in it for the time being, and immediately shifted this sensitive topic, leading the content of the conversation to his own mission.

"So that's the case, please rest assured, Your Excellency, no matter how many enemies there are, we will guarantee the safety of Princess Xiaoxue."

Seeing that Xia Shu didn't seem to understand what he meant at all, Feng Hua Nuo Tao stared at Xia Shu's eyes with embarrassment, fell silent for a while, stopped detracting from Xia Shu, and said bluntly: "Actually, I came to you to seek your help."

Facing the ignorant approach of the wind, flowers and raging waves, Xia Shu frowned slightly, and asked in a displeased voice: "I don't know what the prince wants us to do?"

"I hope to hire a group of ninjas from Konoha to help the Daming Mansion take back control of Xueren Village, and at the same time suppress and kill those rebellious generals."

Fenghua Nutao stood up, and confessed his purpose of coming to Xia Shu, staring expectantly at Xia Shu's eyes, waiting nervously for his answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to you. Such a request can only be discussed between Your Excellency Daimyo and Hokage-sama." After hearing Fenghua Futao's request, Xia Shu refused without hesitation.

Just kidding, directly sending ninjas to participate in the internal affairs of other countries is beyond Natsuki's decision, which involves a lot of political and military matters, not to mention Natsuki, even the Fourth Hokage, and several meetings will be held. discussions to make a final decision.

"If my brother is willing to seek help from the outside world, I will not contact you Konoha in private."

Fenghua is also very helpless, the Fenghua family's territory is almost gone, and my eldest brother is still not in a hurry, which makes me work hard all day, and even my hair starts to fall out , it is estimated that if this continues, he can go to the temple of the country of fire to become a monk.

In order to achieve his goal, Feng Hua Nu Tao lowered his voice and assured Xia Shu: "If Konoha is willing to help the Daming Mansion, Snow Country is willing to pay the corresponding reward."

"Your Excellency, I have driven for a long time today, and I am a little tired. You should discuss these matters with Your Excellency Daming."

Xia Shu didn't give the answer that Feng Hua Nu Tao expected, stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Fenghua Nutao's complexion sank, and he looked at Xia Shu slightly angrily, but due to Xia Shu's strength and Konoha's deterrence, he didn't explode on the spot, and walked away with a black face.
