Konoha’s New Third Hokage

After sending away the envoy from the capital, Samana seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, and sat down weakly, a trace of fatigue appeared on his cold face. No one else had ever seen such a weak side in this strong Kazekage.

"You have also heard that the capital asked us to cease the war immediately and negotiate peace with the Nation of Fire." Nidai Kazekage glanced at the senior officials present and said.

Although everyone knows that peace talks are an inevitable outcome, they never expected it to come so soon. According to the second generation of Kazekage's pre-planned ideas, it is necessary to form a certain stalemate with the country of fire, and then to negotiate peace, so that in the process of negotiations You won't be led by the nose by the other party.

But now, the team led by Masaki Kazemori of Konoha is still attacking the troops of the Kingdom of Wind, and the regular army of the Kingdom of Fire is also suppressing the samurai troops of the Kingdom of Wind. The situation can be very bad.

It's not that Sand Yin Ninja Village doesn't have the power to fight back. They've been making a battle plan these days. They don't require a big victory, as long as they don't lose. But before they can implement it, the order from the country is thrown over.

"Master Kazekage, are we just throwing in the towel?" Chiyo was very unwilling, "We obviously still have more power!"

"Since the daimyo is like this, we have no choice but to follow suit. After all, we are still ninjas hired by the daimyo, so we have to listen to our employer." Second Kazekage shook his head.

Even if they have gained a certain status, they are still bound by the usual ninja concepts—to be loyal to their employers, to treat themselves as their work, and to do their best—if they are rebellious, it is easy to jump out of this kind of thinking, but like the second generation Kazekage, a traditional ninja from the Warring States period, cannot easily change his concept.

Chiyo is also a ninja who has been educated in traditional concepts. The daimyo's order was in front of her, but she didn't say anything. She slammed her fist on the table and gritted her teeth: "Damn it, why did daimyo want to do it at this time..."

"Because the people from the Kingdom of Fire sent guests there, telling the daimyo that since the defeat is already settled, there is no need to continue fighting meaninglessly, and they also brought in those officials in the capital who thought the war should end a long time ago. Let the daimyo nod." Second Kazekage sighed.

It's not that the Second Kazekage hadn't considered writing a letter to the daimyo, but the envoys in the capital conveyed the meaning of the daimyo - back then you were able to fight for the country's interests, so they supported you to increase the force, but the result is like this, depending on the situation, it's impossible What have you got, instead of wasting military expenditures in vain, it is better to end here!

Due to the barren land in the Land of Winds, the funds in the treasury have always been tight, and the daimyo basically counts carefully, like a miser. For the sake of strengthening the national power, he supported the fighting tendency of Sha Yin Ninja Village. When he saw that the war situation was not good, he simply gave up. After all, for a war that must be defeated,

It is simply too extravagant and wasteful to maintain so much military expenditure.

"Although it's a bit regrettable, it's not unacceptable. The envoys from the Kingdom of Fire sent a preliminary peace agreement. At least they are very sincere about the peace talks, and they don't plan to covet anything from the Kingdom of Wind." Second Kazekage said, Then he smiled wryly, "There's nothing worth coveting here, right?"

The self-deprecating words of Nidai Fukage can't help but arouse the sadness in everyone's heart. What are they throwing their heads and blood for? Isn't it for this country to get a better land?

"The specific peace agreement still needs to be discussed in detail with Konoha Ninja Village. Let's try our best to win some benefits for the country. The same is true for the daimyo." Second Kazekage concluded.

Therefore, Sand Yin Ninja Village asked Konoha Ninja Village for a temporary truce, and asked to discuss the conditions of the peace talks. Seeing that the other party finally surrendered, Konoha Ninja Village was also very happy, and immediately sent envoys to negotiate with the other party. The first draft of the agreement was Fire The article sent up by the envoy of the country is not deceitful in this regard.

Tobima intends to adopt Masaki Kazemori's suggestion. The Kingdom of the Wind is a country that is both strong and fragile. The strength lies in their military strength, and the weakness lies in their domestic life. If there is no way to beat them to death with a single stick, then slowly bleed , It is a good idea to eliminate its troubles.

Therefore, in the peace talks with Sand Yin Ninja Village, we should pay attention to the long-term goal of bloodletting, and it’s okay to give the other party some preferential treatment in the short-term goal, so as not to make the other party jump over the wall in a hurry.

First, after the signing of the agreement, both sides withdraw their troops and return, and they cannot enter the Kingdom of Sichuan again. This is a necessary condition, and no one has any objections;

2. The two parties have concluded an alliance treaty, and shall not violate each other. When one party applies for military assistance, the other party shall provide appropriate assistance to maintain peace in the ninja world;

The third is to return the land obtained by the Land of Winds during the distribution of Tailed Beasts as compensation for invading the Land of Fire, and the war indemnity can be appropriately reduced.

This has been expected for a long time. As the loser, the Land of Winds will naturally have to pay some price. These lands were not owned by the Land of Winds in the first place. Although it hurts, it is still acceptable, at least psychologically;

Fourth, use the country of Sichuan as a transit, establish commercial channels, and carry out mutual markets. The country of fire can provide food, fruits, living utensils and other materials that the country of wind urgently needs, and sell them at reasonable prices, and give preferential treatment depending on the situation. And if the country of winds can't afford the equivalent in terms of money, they can also use the rich ore in the country to replace it.

This is the condition that makes the daimyo's heart beat. You can get what your side lacks without going to war. Even if it costs money, it is lower than the military expenditure needed for the war;

Fifth, Shayin Ninja Village needs to rent out a part of the chakra metal veins, and Konoha Ninja Village will provide rental fees every year, that is, food and money.

This needs to be carefully considered by Sand Yin Ninja Village. Chakra metal is a special metal that can conduct chakra. It is very suitable for making weapons such as chakra knives. The puppet is made of this metal. Although it cannot be a resource that cannot be given away, it is also an important one, which makes people hesitate.

What makes people curious is why Konoha Ninja Village needs chakra metal. Chakra metal is basically used to make chakra knives. It is useful if it is useful, but it is not very powerful. The new method of utilization is sand The puppet of Hidden Ninja Village, so some people think that Konoha Ninja Village wants to imitate the puppet tactics.

It seems a bit alarming, but after the second generation of Kazekage thought about it, he felt that there was no need to be so surprised. Indeed, if it is the production method of the puppet, Konoha Ninja Village can always figure it out as long as it studies hard, but the core of the puppet manipulation But it only belongs to the Sand Yin Ninja Village. This is formed by the unique geographical environment and cultural traditions. It is not so easy to imitate. When the imitation is done, the Sand Yin Ninja Village has already surpassed the Konoha Ninja Village.

Moreover, Konoha Ninja Village is only leased—although everyone can see that it is obviously an occupation, and Sand Yin Ninja Village can’t object to it if it is really to be seized. In the name of lease, at least Sand Yin Ninja Village can still get food and money—— This is still acceptable, so this condition is also agreed.

The general content of the peace agreement is five, and some of the details are all supplemented. Both parties are satisfied with their respective leaders. After the second generation Kazekage read it, he said to others: "The peace talks in Konoha Ninja Village are still very sincere. Yes, it is lower than we imagined, and the exchange market is what we need, and this war is not for nothing."

"However, it is still a shame to sign such a treaty." Chiyo lowered her head slightly.

"So, I hope you don't forget what happened today. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must ask Konoha Ninja Village to pay you back, but...if you don't have that opportunity, you must make friends with Konoha Ninja Village, and don't influence your decision-making because of feelings. , to ensure the interests of the country, I hope you can keep it in mind!"

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

Afterwards, the two parties agreed on the location of the peace talks. This time, there were no people like Jinjiao and Yinjiao to disturb them. The treaty was successfully signed, the army was withdrawn immediately, and the compensation and land would be delivered one after another. Although there were still many follow-up matters, peace The dawn has quietly arrived.
