I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"When did Yuyin become so rampant? Is that old guy Hanzo still buried?"

Facing Ye Lan's questioning, Utane Koharu directly retorted. In their hearts, even if the two sides cooperated, Konoha would still have the dominant power.

"Then it seems that Konoha has no intention of cooperating. Sorry for interrupting you, Hokage-sama."

Although Xiu couldn't figure out what Ye Lan meant, he followed Ye Lan's attitude and directly refused.

"Calm down, everyone. Xiu Jonin is our guest. This is your attitude when someone comes to the village to seek cooperation with us."

Tsunade first scolded her subordinates, then turned to Xiu with a smile and said.

"It seems that everyone is not in a good state today. Xiu Jonin, please go back to the inn and rest for a while. We will talk another day."

Xiu first made some excuses, saying that he wanted to go back to Yuyin, but Rizu tried to be a peacemaker, so Xiu stayed on the stairs for a few more days.

After Ye Lan and others left, the smile on Tsunade's face instantly collapsed.

"It's really difficult. Yuyin's attitude doesn't seem very good. And why did you think of developing this aspect? Is it really necessary to do this?"

Tsunade actually didn't want to come. If no one had mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that this thing suddenly became popular among the nobles. In her opinion, the sedan was just a toy.

"Hokage, don't underestimate this kind of thing. Like I said, if an efficient means of transportation appears, it will definitely change the direction of the war. Although the people from Yugyakure haven't taken them out yet, I don't think it's that simple. Especially the other Yugyakure ninja makes me very concerned."

Shikaku said as he stroked the beard on his chin.

"Tsunade, do you know that whether it is Orochimaru's invasion or Uchiha Ye Lan's defection, the losses caused cost a lot of money. Now Konoha's finances are in crisis. The opportunity to make money is right in front of us, we must take it!"

It was Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu who suggested looking for Amegakure to cooperate. They simply saw Amegakure's ability to make money and couldn't wait to ask Tsunade to send Amegakure an invitation for cooperation.

Tsunade had originally not held out hope that Yugakure would reply, but she didn't want to refuse the advisors, so she wrote a tentative letter, but she didn't expect that Yugakure would actually send someone.

"I didn't expect someone from Yugakure to come. Hanzo is older than me. Could it be that he has found a successor?"

Mitomon En sighed.

Since the Second Ninja World War, Amegakure has not been active in the Ninja World again. Hanzo, who is known as the demigod of the Ninja World, has also become silent. It is unknown what it means to cooperate with Konoha again now.

Tsunade rubbed her brows. She had once sent Kakashi to Amegakure to collect intelligence, but was discovered by the other party. Everyone knew that there was something wrong with Amegakure, but there was no concrete evidence.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put it into words. This confused feeling is the most annoying.

"Shikaku, after today's meeting, the rest is up to you. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Tell me when there is a result."

Just stop thinking about things that are hard to figure out. The Hidden Rain Nation can never compare with other big countries. Meeting them once is already a courtesy given by Tsunade.

She had originally hoped that with Tsunade's presence the deal could be concluded in one go, but now it seemed to have turned into a tug-of-war, and she didn't have the time to keep wasting time here.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

In fact, Shikaku wanted Tsunade to investigate the people from Amegakure, but he felt that they had not done anything wrong in Konoha, so he eventually suppressed the idea.

-

Ye Lan and the others remained silent all the way until they returned to the hotel, when they finally relaxed.

Xiu was about to speak when Ye Lan raised his hand to stop him.

He first closed his eyes and sensed whether there was any unusual movement in the hotel. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he spoke.

"It's nothing, go ahead."

Xiu took a breath, "My performance just now was okay, Ya...Arashiba Jonin."

Xiu was so nervous that he almost called out Ye Lan's real name.

"It's sloppy, but the other party probably didn't notice anything. But it's also my fault. I didn't expect they had other purposes."

Ye Lan indeed did not expect Konoha to have such an idea. Regarding the production of vehicles, he was thinking more about how to install the chakra cannon on the vehicle.

For a moment, Xiu didn't know how to answer, and he didn't blame others.

"Next time if they make such a request again, you can say that the large cargo transportation is our secret of Yuyin, and this price is totally inexcusable at the moment."

Unlike cars, those things can barely be used on city roads, but they will definitely be thrown around in the wild. No matter how good the shock absorption is, it will be useless. There are more aspects to consider if you want to transport them in the wild. First of all, adapting to different environments is a problem.

“Have we reached this point now?”

Liang asked curiously. She had seen sedans, but had never heard of large transport trucks.

"No, I'll go back and talk to the R&D department and we can develop in this direction."

Ye Lan spoke the truth. He had learned a lesson this time. Even if Xiu was just a front-stage figure, he needed to know some inside information. Otherwise, his hidden secrets would be easily exposed.

"Ahem, how should I make the request?"

Xiu gave Liang a look to stop her from asking any further questions. She didn't expect that something she didn't even know about would be used as a bargaining chip. What expressions would the people of Konoha have if they knew about this?

"At the very least, we have to reduce the import of medicines and supplies from Konoha by 50%. It would be even better if we could give them a few places for exchange students. We also have to get 30% of the profits from the factory's output."

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Xiu was frightened by Ye Lan's loud mouth.

"We can tell from the fact that so many of them came today that they have a great demand for this. If I'm not mistaken, Konoha should be short of money right now."

Small characters like them are definitely not worthy of mobilizing almost all of Konoha's top leaders. This shows that Konoha is very eager to achieve this cooperation.

"Don't have any psychological pressure, try to get the conditions closer to this level, even if it's a little lower, it's okay."

Ye Lan comforted him. It was almost a case of making money out of nothing. He did not have any psychological burden at all. In the end, Yu Yin would definitely be the one who made the profit.

Later, Ye Lan and Xiu finalized some details, and before they knew it, it was dark.

Gulu—

The sound of a stomach growling attracted Ye Lan's attention. He looked over and saw the hydrangea that had little presence.

"Excuse me..."

Seeing Ye Lan's gaze, Hydrangea's face suddenly turned red.

"Sorry, I suddenly forgot that everyone hasn't eaten yet."

Ye Lan took the initiative to apologize to Hydrangea, causing her to wave her hands repeatedly.

"Well, since we are in Konoha, I will treat you to a barbecue. Konoha's barbecue is quite famous."

"Would it be too conspicuous if we went now?"

Liang still feels it’s better to be safe.

"If we stay in the hotel all the time, people will think it's abnormal. If we go out normally, people won't suspect us. Besides, we are guests now, so what's wrong with going out for a meal?"
