Chapter 573: 509 Chapter 573: 509 Tao Yu’s forceful and overbearing remarks did not cause much reaction from Chiyo and Ebizo.
Even when Tao Yu hinted at the Tailed Beasts, which were the village’s strategic weapons!
Being old and cunning, the two of them were no longer prone to rash decisions.
Facing significant changes in the world, they were more concerned about the future of their village.
What was the purpose of the Tailed Beasts?
Originally ant to protect the village, and now without a proper Jinchuriki, the Tailed Beasts were still sealed—making them negotiable even if they were important!
The stability of the two was also due to the ntion of an “alliance” by the other party.
...
Honestly, in the current harsh conditions of the Abyss, the Village Hidden by Sand indeed wanted reliable allies.
Currently, other than providing basic necessities, the Harkonnen Family wasn’t very reliable.
Ninjas were not likely to break employnt agreents rashly, but the extension of these agreents would need to be evaluated based on the actual situation.
If there were other choices, it wouldn’t matter to forgo the Harkonnen Family—they weren’t pricey, but were trouble nonetheless.
“If the Kazekage has agreed, then there’s no problem,”
Chiyo sighed and then closed her eyes.
The Kazekage was a village leader, and his every word and action represented the village; to so extent, the Kazekage was no longer a personal entity but part of the institutional frawork of the village.
If they were to consider an alliance in the future, then the reputation of the current Kazekage must be preserved.
Although Chiyo and Ebizo were unsatisfied with the situation, they ultimately chose Rasa and thus trusted his loyalty to the village.
It might have been his decision after weighing his options, which included information that the two of them were unaware of.
For instance, the strength of the other party or the power they represented!
“Elder Chiyo is straightforward—if possible, I would like to seek guidance later on about Puppetry Technique and poisons from you.”
Tao Yu was very pleased with the swift reply, having thought that a small conflict might be necessary, but it was resolved peacefully instead.
Subsequently, he made so minor requests.
With the Tailed Beasts willing to be handed over, learning a bit of Puppetry Technique was not a big deal at all.
In reality, Tao Yu valued Chiyo’s Reincarnation Technique the most.
Such self-sacrificing techniques might seem trivial in others’ hands, but Tao Yu believed that with his “Proof of Eternity,” it could be extraordinarily effective in certain situations.
“Mr.
Tao is willing to learn my techniques, I am honored indeed.
However, we have found that only our people possess Chakra currently, outsiders may not be able to learn it,”
Chiyo did not refuse.
“I was aware of this issue when I was at the Hidden Mist Village, but I have other ans to replicate the effects of Chakra, please do not worry,”
Tao Yu’s statent slightly moved Chiyo.
Actually, they had already received ssages from the Hidden Mist Village before, but lacked detailed specifics.
Right now, during this rather harmonious conversation, she wanted to gather more information.
“My team had ntioned encountering ninjas from Hidden Mist Village—had they fallen sowhere else?
I wonder how far it is from here.”
Already acquainted with so of the basic intelligence about the Abyss from Pioneer, the Village Hidden by Sand would, of course, do its own analysis and draw conclusions.
“There is a certain distance, on the other side of Death Oasis there is a world occupied by insects and Icebound World, followed by a connection to an ocean, and they are on a small island in the ocean; theoretically, our desert side could directly connect to that insect world.”
Tao Yu didn’t hide anything, then thought for a mont and took out three connectors from the ones that had originally exploded, and placed them on the table.
“As allies moving forward, these three devices can assist you in crossing through the world barriers and enable fixed positions.
Maybe you can also gather information around, but if there are new insights, I would need them shared…”
Tao Yu passed the device, causing everyone present to subtly light up.
Even Rasa, who still had residual sealing techniques on him, spoke out,
“With these, we might be able to find a better place to survive!”
This desert was truly disgusting, and the air in Death Oasis was not suitable, but they could try other directions.
Was the Village Hidden by Sand built in this godforsaken desert because they enjoyed suffering?
No, it was only because they had never faced competition!
“This is your freedom, but your chakra seemingly can only achieve its maximum effect near your own world, that is sothing to be cautious of.”
“We are not abandoning this place, and of course, we will always fulfill our treaty, we are just looking for a place where our common people can reproduce more easily.”
Rasa quickly spoke up to clarify, indicating that Village Hidden by Sand would not abandon this location.
This made Tao Yu almost laugh.
“You might be misunderstanding , I did not an to threaten you.”
“Mm-hm, I know, haha.”
Rasa smiled and spoke, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually eased.
Tao Yu did not demand the One Tail imdiately but began to discuss so of the upcoming articles.
The first point was to confirm whether Village Hidden by Sand was signing the treaty with the base or with Tao Yu personally, which was very important!
In the end, it was agreed that the Pioneers and the ‘Spice Collection Departnt’ would cooperate.
Although Tao Yu had only made a verbal agreent with the wealthy young lady, the relationship between the two was evident, and since she had agreed, finalizing it in this way was not a big problem.
It was just that he might need to solve so minor problems with his personal ability.
By extracting the Spice Collection alone to form a departnt where he held fifty percent of the shares, they then ford a treaty with Village Hidden by Sand to provide protection.
This way, he could secure priority over the high-end force of Village Hidden by Sand!
The elitist model adopted by Village Hidden by Sand resulted in a not-so-large number of ninjas.
However, the characteristics of ninjas are evident; theoretically, even a Chunin would have a chance to assassinate soone of senior partner level.
The gap for senior partners was wide, with Jonin also revolving within this range, similar to elites like Kisa.
If those, at their maximum potential and with elent suppression, could even touch the threshold-level World Breakers if the latter were caught off-guard.
Similarly, ordinary Kage-level powerhouses also fell within this range.
They might perform better than Kisa, but wouldn’t much exceed him.
And if Kisa mastered the proper use of his chakra, he could also leap to Kage-level strength.
Such power, in the New Developnt Zone, even after more than two months, would still definitely be considered a very strong force.
Maintaining the daily operations of Spice mining was usually enough.
Though because of the Teleportation Device, it was not foolproof.
Yet should that rare event occur, it would certainly be ti for Tao Yu to step in.
“Let’s finalize the treaty here, but I need to remind everyone that during the initial mining phase, there will definitely be various probes, and even so major movents may occur.”
Tao Yu warned them beforehand to avoid being unprepared later on.
“Please rest assured, Mr.
Tao.
In this regard, we are absolutely professional.
But if Mr.
Tao could provide so current intelligence and possible enemy information, that would indeed be great.”
“That’s possible, but the information on my side might not be complete; you can only use it as a reference.”
Tao Yu hoped that soone reckless would show up soon, making it easier for him to make an example, though there probably wouldn’t be such a quick arrival…
