"Lord Third is right."
No matter what the leader answers, it can't be wrong anyway.
"War is a political means, and negotiation is also a political means. For Konoha, if the price of negotiation is less than waging a war, then Konoha will agree."
"As for the scope of this price, it must be divided into two situations: victory and defeat. If Konoha wins, how much will Konoha ultimately benefit? If Konoha loses, how much will it lose? If Konoha thinks its chances of losing are greater, then it will naturally be willing to pay more. As for whether it can touch this bottom line, it depends on the specific process of the negotiation."
The Third Kazekage nodded frequently as he listened.
"Continue."
Shimizu had no choice but to continue:
"Konoha's goal is to prevent the outbreak of war, and the bottom line is still unknown. If we want to obtain enough benefits in the negotiation, then we should also set our own bottom line and goals. If the bottom line is approached and the goal is not achieved, the negotiation will not be reached. As for what our bottom line and goals are, it depends on what we need now and what the enemy has."
"The Land of Fire is rich in resources and has a developed commerce. A certain amount of resources and funds, as long as it is not an outrageous request, Konoha will definitely agree to it."
"Then there are territories and mission quotas. This is the foundation for a ninja village to survive. Konoha has already given up a part of the area in the previous great war, reducing its sphere of influence. If they are pressed too hard in this regard, they might rather fight a battle. I think as long as there is an appropriate buffer zone, we can stop when we achieve our goals."
At this moment, an elder asked:
"In that case, wouldn't the benefits we can obtain be very limited?"
"No, Elder Iwaji, we are just exchanging a part of the benefits for the benefits we need more."
The Third Kazekage then asked:
"Then what do you think is the most needed thing for our Sunagakure now?"
"Sealing techniques."
Shimizu's long preamble was for these three words.
The Third Kazekage was slightly silent, not expecting Shimizu to give this answer, but on second thought, sealing techniques are indeed what Sunagakure lacks the most now.
In the early days of the village's establishment, Sunagakure relied on the research of the curse marks on Shukaku's body, and its sealing techniques were among the top five ninja villages.
It was only later that the Uzushiogakure was destroyed overnight, and its accumulation of sealing techniques was divided up by the major ninja villages. All the villages gained a lot, but Sunagakure was late to the game, not to mention getting a share of the meat, it didn't even get a sip of hot soup, which led to its backwardness in this area.
Now, the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Bunpuku, is also quite old and his body is weakening. It seems that he won't be able to suppress the One-Tail for many years.
Sunagakure does need powerful sealing techniques to prepare for the next generation of Jinchuriki.
If a Jinchuriki who can stably control the power of the tailed beast can be cultivated, then Sunagakure will not be so easily cut off in terms of Kage-level powerhouses.
"Rasa, what do you think?"
"Then let's do as Shimizu said. Shimizu, Yekura, if you feel that there is anything inappropriate or needs to be supplemented during this negotiation, you can speak up at that time."
The Third Kazekage waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Lord Third!"
Shimizu and Yekura immediately bowed.
In the field, several elders seemed to have seen something and exchanged glances secretly.
At the same time, Shimizu also synchronized the memory to the avatar in the DC world, asking it to find a negotiation expert in the shortest possible time.
...
...
Demon Slayer World.
In a cleaned-up house.
Shimizu dripped a drop of demon blood collected from Gyokko into the culture medium, and then invaded the daylight lamp on his side and shone it on it.
A faint blood mist rose, gradually withering into ashes, disappearing into the air, and the blood drop was also slowly shrinking.
"Daylight lamps can also play a certain role against Upper Moon level demons, but considering the recovery speed of Upper Moon demons, it is difficult to kill them with the intensity of daylight lamps."
No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one, one, one, see!
Shimizu then took out a magnifying glass and placed it under the daylight lamp.
The light converged, the light intensity increased, and the evaporation rate of the blood droplets increased rapidly.
"It takes about seconds, which is seconds faster than the original daylight lamp and seconds slower than under sunlight. The light intensity does have a great impact, but the wavelength composition of the light should account for a larger proportion."
"Mixing a certain amount of scarlet iron fine sand into the phosphor and mercury vapor on the inner wall of the daylight lamp does make the light spectrum of the daylight lamp more continuous and closer to sunlight, but it should not be excessive, otherwise it will affect the intensity of the light. The proportion range should be in..."
Shimizu made experimental records while looking at another test tube.
In the test tube, a mass of flesh was lying there quietly.
This was cultivated by him using his own blood and a drop of Douma's blood. It has powerful immortality. Neither Nichirin Blades nor sunlight can destroy this mass of flesh, forcing Shimizu to seal it with sealing techniques.
Fortunately, there is very little Muzan's blood in it, and the nutrition that can be absorbed from the outside world is limited, and he sealed it in time, otherwise it would be really hard to say what would happen.
This is also one of the reasons why Shimizu urgently desires high-level sealing techniques.
Because relying on his own level of sealing techniques, this seal may become invalid in a few years, and it needs to be maintained once every few months, which is too troublesome.
"The fusion of my blood and demon blood does make me unafraid of sunlight, but the blood will also face serious demonization, and will unconsciously devour all the blood around it. It can be predicted that if I use demon blood now, I am afraid I will become like those demons, my body will mutate, my personality will become violent, and the most important thing is..."
Shimizu put down the pencil, opened the window, and looked at the starry sky outside.
"To become a demon, you must use Muzan's blood, but in this way, you will be controlled by Muzan. Although Nezuko in the original timeline overcame the influence of sunlight and Muzan, I am unwilling to gamble. It would be troublesome if I were really controlled by Muzan."
There are actually solutions.
In the original work, Shinobu Kocho and Tamayo developed a drug that can turn demons back into humans, that is to say, humans and demons can be transformed into each other, and in the process of demons turning back into humans, those negative factors will definitely be stripped away.
If you can master the production method of this medicine and study it, there is still a lot of hope.
