Chapter 230: Encirclement
Chapter 230: Encirclement
[PS: Like a question, the computer collapsed. The manuscript that was written with great difficulty was directly evaporated. After studying it for more than half an hour, I still couldn't find it. In the end, my mentality collapsed. I laid on the bed for ten minutes and forced myself to re-write. Therefore, today's third chapter was a bit late. There was no additional update. At that time, I really wanted to curse!]
Five days later, Haru and Kakuzu headed to the appointed location.
At this time, Kakuzu really couldn't understand why this guy took off his pants and farted.
Since he wanted to occupy the Land of Iron, then he would directly start a massacre and conquer this country with his force.
In the past, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were just like this in this peaceful era of war, and the battles between the five great countries in the future were the same.
Moreover, with their strength, they could completely crush the entire Land of Iron.
So, Kakuzu really couldn't understand why Haru would do this.
Could it be that if he showed his muscles and gave the other party a chance to choose, the other party would give up his country?
Even a third-rate novel plan would not dare to write such a thing!
Thus, Kakuzu asked very impolitely.
After hearing this, Haru actually gave an explanation, "It's very simple. It's not impossible to use war to forcefully conquer a country, but doing that will also bring about many hidden dangers. For example, the hatred hidden in people's hearts, the rebellion that will jump out from time to time, and the need for more people to take over this country."
"This does not match my original intention. Because what I want is not only to expand the territory, but also the technology, population, resources, and so on!"
"Therefore, compared to a broken country that was almost destroyed in the war, I want to take over a country that can reduce a lot of trouble and make me more complete."
"Of course, everything can't be developed according to what I imagined. I just want to try a little more. Whether it succeeds or not, the price is nothing more than five days of waiting, but the result won't change at all."
"The Land of Iron can't run away. It depends on whether some people can see the future and realize the crisis."
After listening to this, Kakuzu thought, "Aren't you just trying to scam us? And you're even making it sound so grand! In the end, you still have to rely on your fists?"
Haru noticed Kakuzu's indifferent expression and was not angry. How could others know the true purpose of his actions?
It was not important to annex the Land of Iron. What was important was the benefit of [Myriad Realms Monolith]reaction after annexing the Land of Iron. That was what Haru really cared about!
Moreover, the number of people and the amount of satisfaction was related to [Tax] condition of monthly energy points. Of course, he had to pay attention to it. That was why he urgently hoped that the Land of Iron would not be stubborn and could allow him to expand his territory in a relatively gentle way.
As for whether or not he could do as he wished, the next thing he had to know was Akatsuki.
.........
At the same time, in the bamboo forest.
Mifune was waiting quietly. Beside him were the other two Generals of the Land of Iron Country.
The arrival of these generals was naturally because of what Mifune had said after waking up.
It was just that this matter was of great importance, and the higher-ups of the Land of Iron had argued for a full five days because of this matter, but there was no final result.
However, the unanimous consensus was that Land of Iron could not surrender and admit defeat just like that and be swallowed up by the other party!
Of course, the strength of Akatsuki who defeated Hanzo was not to be underestimated. If they really fought, their Land of Iron might not be able to defeat him.
So this time, the first task of the three of them was to figure out the other party's attitude and bottom line. As long as they could protect the Land of Iron and no longer engage in war, reparations were all small matters.
What if the menacing Akatsuki was just using an excuse to extort them?
Otherwise, why would there be two of them instead of going all out?
Wasn't it obvious that the desire to annex them was not so strong?
Although it was a little shameful to do this, they had no other choice.
Of course, other than that, there were also a large number of warriors hidden in the bamboo forest.
If today's conversation broke down, it would inevitably be a fierce battle!
At this moment, Mifune's ears twitched slightly. Then, he said in a solemn voice, "He's here!"
His injuries had not healed yet, but he did not want to lie in bed and wait for the final result, so he insisted on coming.
Then, they saw the leader of Akatsuki, Yone, and the undead monster, Kakuzu, slowly appear in their sight.
The other two Generals both cast an inquiring look at Mifune, who nodded gently to confirm the other's identity, and they both retracted their gaze from and gazed back at Haru and Kakuzu.
"The five days of consideration have passed. I hope you can make a wise choice."
Haru said calmly. In fact, he did not have much hope in his heart, because he had already used chakra perception before entering the bamboo forest to confirm the number and strength of the people inside.
Bringing so many people to hide, it looked like they would reject the agreement.
Sure enough, before Mifune could say anything, General Mikasa said cautiously, "Previously, the war between Amegakure and our Land of Iron was caused by Hanzo's selfish desire. However, as far as we know, Akatsuki has already killed Hanzo and brought Amegakure back to peace. I really don't understand why you would suddenly attack us."
"It's very simple. I need the territory of the Land of Iron, the population, and the resources here and your forging skills."
Haru's blunt words without any concealment caused the faces of the three generals to turn ugly. "Could it be that you think that there is no one in our Land of Iron that you can bully?"
Haru shook his head regretfully. "Although this is the truth, it is not the reason for me to come here. Perhaps none of you will believe it, but my dream is world peace. However, the years of war between the five great countries had already made the word 'peace' extremely rare and precious. Therefore, if they wanted to stop the war from the root and let Ninja World regain peace, they had to grow into a powerful country with the same status as the five great countries!"
"Now is the Land of Iron. In the future, it might be the Land of Grass, Takigakure, Land of River. When our strength is strong enough, even the five great countries would not dare to ignore our voices."
"That is why I chose to use this relatively gentle method to try and convince you. Otherwise, when I first stepped into the bamboo forest, you and the guys hiding in the bamboo forest were already dead."
The expressions of Mifune and the others immediately changed slightly. Some were seriously thinking about the solution he said, while others felt that he was talking nonsense and wrapping up such a bad intention in such a delicate way. He was clearly a rogue bastard who wanted to occupy another country!
Moreover, the number of people hidden here had been broken, which made their expressions somewhat unnatural.
Then, at this moment, dense footsteps suddenly came from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, both sides were surrounded in the middle, and outside were a large number of warriors dressed in uniform.
Kakuzu's eyes immediately revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty light.
