Chapter 140: A Double Wedding?
🕑 Added 2024-06-25 18:50:12 +0000 UTCFrom now on, not only would they no longer have to pay tribute, but they would also receive ten years' worth of tribute back. The lives of the villagers in the Sea Country would no longer be as difficult as before.
"The second condition..." Natsuhane continued.
"Send fifty ninjas to the Sea Country. Their strength doesn't matter, as long as they come. Ideally, they should have teaching experience."
"Hmm?" The Water Daimyo was taken aback. "Brother, why do you need ninjas? Didn't you say you no longer needed our protection?"
Natsuhane shook his head. "I want them to teach my people ninjutsu. I aim to establish a ninja village in the Sea Country so that every citizen has the ability to protect themselves."
"This goal is too big for me to handle alone."
The Water Daimyo frowned. "When it comes to ninjas, my word alone isn't enough. I'll need to consult the Mizukage."
He turned to look at Mei Terumi behind him. "Fifth Mizukage, is this feasible?"
"No problem, it's feasible!" Mei Terumi agreed immediately. This was an opportunity.
The sudden appearance of this mysterious young man, Natsuhane, had left Mei Terumi surprised. Not only was he incredibly handsome, but his strength was also astonishing.
A ninja this powerful shouldn't have remained unknown. There should have been some rumors or information about him. However, Mei Terumi had never heard of Natsuhane.
This made her very curious. She had initially planned to send spies to gather information in the Sea Country. Now, she could openly send people to stay by Natsuhane's side to collect information.
Mei Terumi couldn't pass up this chance.
"Daimyo-sama, don't worry. I'll carefully select the fifty ninjas to ensure your brother is satisfied."
"Great, Fifth Mizukage, I am delighted with your support," the Water Daimyo responded, pleased.
"The remaining eight conditions... I haven't thought of them yet. I'll come to you when I do, brother."
The Water Daimyo eagerly nodded. "Alright, alright! My good brother, I can fulfill these two conditions by tomorrow. From now on, the Water Country and the Sea Country will always be allies!"
"Of course! We can sign an alliance agreement to formalize this bond," Natsuhane suggested.
The Water Daimyo waved his hand dismissively. "No need for a paper agreement. I've seen too many of those and lost trust in them. We don't need such things between us. I trust you! Besides, we have so many witnesses here..."
To show his sincerity, the Water Daimyo spared no effort, showering Natsuhane with goodwill. Natsuhane's impressive abilities had left him in awe.
"Even if I can't make him a friend, I must never make him an enemy!" This was now the Water Daimyo's primary thought.
"Your wife is truly beautiful..." The Water Daimyo turned to praise Honoka Uzumaki. "What a perfect match! Brother, I hope you don't mind us joining your wedding. I'm quite hungry and would love to drink with you."
Natsuhane laughed. "Of course, I don't mind. In fact, I wanted you to be my witness. The Water Country traveled all this way to bring me a wife, so we must drink together!"
"Hahaha, good! Wait, what did you just say? Brought you a wife?"
"Yes! Didn't you come here to marry the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, to the Sea Country Daimyo? Don't forget your initial intention. I'm getting married today, so let's do it together and save the trouble."
"Uh..."
The Water Daimyo was stunned for a moment. If he refused now, wouldn't all his efforts for the alliance go to waste?
He glanced sideways at Mei Terumi and whispered, "Well... uh... Fifth Mizukage, why don't we just go through with the marriage?"
