Hokage Tower.

Majestic and solemn! That was the first impression the four-member delegation from Sunagakure had upon entering the conference room.

Baki had been dispatched to liaise with the Konoha Ninja Academy regarding the placement of Suna students, leaving the subsequent negotiations in the hands of the Elders.

'This is Konoha, the advanced and civilized Konoha!' As a devoted reader of Iki, the Liberal faction Elder held Konoha in the highest regard. He believed that a village's strength could be discerned from the smallest details.

And just look! Look at the arrangement of this conference room! The Liberal Elder was mesmerized.

Each chair was placed with such precision, it was as if they had been aligned using Suna's own puppet strings, not a single millimeter out of place!

Neat and orderly!

It conveyed respect and seriousness, representing equality between Suna and Konoha.

To the left of each seat, a bottle of exquisitely packaged water was placed, seemingly a thoughtful gesture acknowledging Suna's value of water. The sight of the crystal-clear, impurity-free liquid within was incredibly cool.

'Ah~ Subarashii~ Praise Konoha!' The Liberal Elder felt a surge of excitement. Judging by these details, he felt a kinship with the Konoha Elder who had arranged this meeting, believing them to be kindred spirits.

"Honored envoys of Sunagakure, you should all be briefed on my background, but allow me to introduce myself once more." Gojo Kaigetsu arrived fashionably late, pulling up a chair opposite the Suna delegation, officially commencing the Konoha-Suna treaty discussions.

"My name is Gojo Kaigetsu, and I will be representing Konoha in negotiating and signing the 'Guidelines for Expanding Konoha-Sunagakure Trade' with you."

"Very well."

The Liberal Elder, acting as the delegation's representative, perhaps moved by the conference room's ambiance, set aside Suna's pre-planned negotiation points and opted for an impromptu approach.

He clasped his hands, resting his chin on them, and addressed Gojo Kaigetsu sincerely:

"I am Kosaka Kaoru, the Liberal Faction Elder of Sunagakure."

"Advisor Gojo of Konoha, I have a question for you."

"Please, Elder Kosaka."

"To be frank, we have signed a 'Triangular Trade' agreement with Kumogakure. Through Kumogakure's base in the Land of Hot Water, they continuously supply us with defectors from Kirigakure and criminals from within Kumogakure to serve as laborers in Sunagakure."

"As you know, Sunagakure possesses abundant natural resources, but their development requires significant investment of manpower, finances, and materials."

"Kumogakure provides us with manpower, while Konoha provides us with financial and material resources... Our initial plan was to utilize the first batch of Kirigakure laborers provided by Kumogakure to develop the Konoha-Suna trade route."

"However, now that Konoha is solely responsible for the trade route, I find myself somewhat at a loss. Given your wisdom, how should Sunagakure utilize these inexpensive Kirigakure laborers?"

The Liberal Elder Kosaka Kaoru subtly omitted any mention of human rights violations regarding the Kirigakure defectors. Such unsavory matters, even if left unsaid, should be understood by someone like Gojo Kaigetsu, whom he considered a kindred spirit. Speaking with intelligent people saved a lot of breath.
