Chapter 159: Diplomatic Cost
After leaving the main camp, Konoha's five-man negotiation team headed toward an oasis in the north.
Upon entering, they found that the Sand ninja had already cleared out the Land of Wind residents from the surrounding area.
Three large umbrellas were pitched beneath the blazing sun, sheltering the three negotiating parties.
Under the front umbrella sat the special envoy of the Land of Wind's Daimyo, acting as a witness to the negotiation.
Beneath the western umbrella, the delegation from the Hidden Sand Village was already in position.
Yako looked over. He saw Ebizo, Rasa, Matetsu, two assistants, and a Sunagakure Anbu operative.
Ebizo stared fixedly at Copper Fox, watching him take his seat.
Within Sunagakure, Hatake Sakumo was known as the White Fang. The Sand ninja had no idea why he hadn't shown up.
That title, White Fang, would slowly spread, becoming etched into the memory of every Sand ninja—just like Copper Fox.
