After some unreasonable persuasion from Naruto Matsushita, these people surrendered.
"Okay, stop talking. How can you not sue us?"
Naruto Matsushita did not give in at all and said:
"Dissolve the alliance. This is non-negotiable. If you form an alliance, Saikaido will fall into your hands sooner or later. By then, not even the Emperor will be able to do anything to you."
"Humph! Now it's all Saikaido, but your Matsushita family is the most powerful force. The Emperor shouldn't be able to do anything to you."
Matsushita Naruto immediately said:
"Our Matsushita family has only been rising for a few months, and there's also Otomo Sorin, who's eyeing us covetously. How could we possibly threaten you?"
"No, you are rising too fast and are a huge threat to us. You are more worrying than Otomo Sorin."
"You guys just won't disband, right? Then let's not talk about it anymore. Just wait for the Emperor's wrath."
Now Panasonic Naruto has completely lost the patience to continue talking.
Seeing Panasonic Naruto about to leave, the other party panicked and quickly advised:
"No! Let's talk it out. We've just formed an alliance. If you want us to disband, please allow us to hold a meeting to discuss it."
Matsushita Naruto finally calmed down and said:
"Okay, then hurry up. I'll only give you half a day. I'll be back in the evening."
"That's... okay."
The other party originally wanted to buy some time, but when he saw the murderous look in Panasonic Naruto's eyes, he swallowed his words back.
Only then did Naruto Matsushita go to the room arranged by the other party to rest.
…
Time was urgent, and before long, all the important figures in the alliance arrived.
"What's going on? This Panasonic Naruto even came to our door in person? Do you want us to go kill him now?"
"Hosokawa Tadatoshi, don't be impulsive. This Matsushita Naruto is just a pawn pushed to the front by the Matsushita family. If he dies, there will be many more descendants of the Matsushita family. But if we do this, we will become mortal enemies with the Matsushita family."
"So, do we have no choice but to obey and disband the alliance? Can we report them to the Emperor in advance?"
But the leader shook his head helplessly and said:
"It's no use. I wrote to the Emperor a long time ago. There's been no response. As long as they don't form an alliance, the Emperor won't say anything."
"So what should I do? I may be forming an alliance, but this is for self-protection."
"Do you think the Emperor will believe it?"
Now everyone fell silent.
Any form of alliance was unacceptable to the Emperor.
No excuse can be more important than an alliance.
Now we can only blame them for being too high-profile and giving them something to hold against them.
They have no way to justify themselves.
Just when everyone was at a loss for ideas, someone said:
"Even if we want to disband, we must prevent them from continuing to attack us."
"Kato Masakiyo, is that so?"
"It's simple. We promise them to dissolve the alliance, but they must abide by the agreement and stop attacking our countries."
"That's a good idea. We must sign an agreement with them to prevent them from going back on their word."
"Okay, I'll go talk to him right away."
The leader then stood up and continued to look for Naruto Matsushita.
…
The leader came into the lounge and Naruto Matsushita smiled when he saw him.
He knew it worked this time, otherwise the other party would not come to see him.
"We agree, but you also have to agree to our conditions?"
Naruto Matsushita was very curious:
"Oh? Then tell me about it. If I can do it, then it's okay if I agree. After all, I'm pretty easy to talk to."
You're not ashamed to say this.
Of course, the other party was not polite and said:
"I hope that you will not continue to attack any of our countries in the West Sea Road in the future."
After hearing this, Panasonic Naruto was immediately unhappy and said:
"I want to make it clear that, first, I did not attack any country. That was done by Ōtomo Sorin. Second, you can restrain me, but as for Ōtomo Sorin, it's useless for you to tell me."
Seeing that Matsushita Naruto's words were impeccable, the leader had no choice but to say:
"Okay, I'll talk to him about this, but can you promise not to attack us?"
Naruto Matsushita said decisively:
"Of course you can, but what if you attack me? Then I will definitely fight back."
"Alright, we won't attack you. Please wait a few days and we can sign an agreement. What do you think?"
Naruto Matsushita spread his hands and said, "I'm fine."
"Okay, then I'll go find Otomo Sorin now."
Naruto Panasonic was not in a hurry. As long as he could keep them calm, wouldn't it be easy to find trouble?
So he settled down.
The leader of the other alliance immediately went to Chikuzen to find Otomo Sorin.
…
Half a day later, the leader found Otomo Sorin in Chikuzen.
Otomo Sorin was a little surprised to see the other person.
"Yin Dong Yiyou, why is it you?"
"It's been ten years since we last met, hasn't it?"
"Yes. Back then, you and I were apprentices together. I graduated before you, and we haven't seen each other since. You came here specially this time, aren't you here to reminisce about the past?"
As the leader of the alliance, Yin Dongyiyou certainly knew that the person he was looking for was an old acquaintance, and their friendship was not shallow.
So he came in person.
"Of course not. It's not as simple as just reminiscing about the past. Let me be honest with you. I came to you to ask you to promise not to attack the countries of our Western Kaido."
Dayou Zonglin was not happy.
"Why? I can beat anyone I want. The Emperor won't care about me."
"Otomo Sorin, I'm doing this for your own good. It's not a good thing for you to make too many enemies."
"Don't worry about that. I know it myself."
"Otomo Sorin, you can't do this. We've been hesitant for decades. Can't you just give me some face?"
"Yin Dong Yiyou, it's true that our friendship is everlasting. But now is not the time to talk about friendship. I have a responsibility to my Chikuzen Province. If I don't send troops, how will all my soldiers eat and drink?"
“…”
These words left Yin Dongyiyu speechless, but he had to say it.
"Then name your price! How much will it take for you to stop?"
Otomo Sorin really wanted to tell him that this matter was not decided by him, as he had a lord above him.
But he couldn't say it.
"Please wait a moment, I'll think about it."
He said this just to ask Fengyun for instructions, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
Fengyun had already received the information given to him by Matsushita Naruto, and when Otomo Sorin went to find him, he immediately gave him instructions.
Otomo Sorin immediately went back with a smile to tell Yin Dong Yiyou the good news.
"How about it? How much do you want?"
After seeing that Otomo Sorin looked good, Yin Dong Yiyou asked hurriedly.
"10,000 gold coins per month."
When Otomo Sorin said the amount, Yin Dong Yiyou immediately frowned.
"This amount is quite large."
