Chapter 805: A New Alliance?
"Lady Arisa, Lord Yura, I checked the rooms. There aren't any seals keeping a tab on us." The Sealmaster in Sunagakure's group reported.
After leaving the Daimyo's Palace, they were led to the second-best hotel in Fire Capital and settled there. Needless to say, they wouldn't blindly trust Konoha's arrangements and immediately inspected the place for traps and seals. While Sunagakure didn't dare to send a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster on this dangerous mission, they could spare a Sealmaster, who did most of the work.
However, Arisa shook her head and said, "Good work, but it's hopeless. Ask everyone to act as if we're being kept watched at all times."
The Sealmaster frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Realizing she had hurt his pride, Arisa explained, "It's not your fault. It's due to the reports we received from Kumogakure. Their Grandmaster failed to detect a trap set for their army and Kumogakure believes that Suzuki Fujin had a hand in that trap."
Yura added, "We aren't sure how accurate the reports are, but if true, then even our Grandmasters could miss seals planted by Konoha."
The Sealmaster was shocked. He asked, "Then, what do we do? How can we deal with someone who can fool Grandmasters?"
Arisa replied, "That's why I said what I did. Call everyone. We need to have a meeting. Konoha put up an excellent show today. I have to admit, I wouldn't have thought of so many tactics to apply pressure on our opponent. They have already entered our minds.
We need to make sure that we don't get affected by it and negotiate as if we aren't in any danger. After all, it's not like we can do anything if they decide to kill us. The Sand Slayer alone can kill us silently if he wants to. So, we might as well act as if we don't care about our lives and the danger that may appear. Only then can we get a good deal for our village!"
