Konoha's New Third Hokage

After seeing off the envoy from the capital, Samana seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down helplessly. A trace of exhaustion appeared on his cold face. No one else had ever seen such a weak side in this strong Kazekage. "You have all heard that the capital of the country requires us to cease the war immediately and negotiate peace with the Fire Nation." The second Kazekage glanced at the senior officials present and said.Although everyone knew that peace negotiation was the inevitable outcome, they did not expect it to come so quickly. According to the second generation Kazekage's pre-thought, it was to form a certain stalemate with the Fire Country before negotiating peace, so that during the negotiation process That way you won't be led by the other party's nose.But now, the team led by Konoha's Fengmori Masaki is still attacking the troops of the Kingdom of Wind. The regular army of the Kingdom of Fire is also suppressing the samurai troops of the Kingdom of Wind. The situation can be said to be very bad.It is not that Sunagakure Ninja Village does not have the power to fight back. They have been formulating a battle plan these days. They do not require a big victory, as long as they do not lose, but before they can implement it, the order from the country is thrown over. "Kazekage-sama, are we just going to admit defeat?" Chiyo was very unwilling. "We obviously still have some strength left." "Since the daimyo said so, we have no choice but to do it. After all, we are still ninjas hired by the daimyo. We must listen to our employer's words." ." The second generation Fengying shook his head.Even if they have gained a certain status, the customary concept of ninja still constrains them to be loyal to their employer, regard themselves as their work, and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities. If they are rebellious, it is easy to think outside of this kind of thinking, but like the second generation Kazekage, they have always been loyal to their employers. Traditional ninjas from the Warring States Period could not easily change his ideas.Chiyo is also a ninja who has been educated with traditional concepts. The daimyo's order is in front of her, but she can't say anything. She slams her fist on the table and grits her teeth: "Damn it, why is the daimyo here at this time?" "Because of the fire." People from the country sent lobbyists to tell the daimyo that since the defeat was certain, there was no need to continue the fight pointlessly. They also roped in those officials in the capital who had long believed that the war should be ended, and really let the daimyo Nod." The second generation Kazekage sighed.The second generation Kazekage had not considered writing to the daimyo, but the envoy in the capital conveyed the daimyo's intention. Back then, you said that you could benefit the country, so you supported your increase in force. But the result is like this, and it is impossible to get it depending on the situation. What's the matter? Rather than wasting military expenditures, it's better to end it here. Because of the barren land, the treasury's funds have always been tight, and the daimyo is basically calculating, like a miser.In order to enhance national strength, he supported the fighting tendency of the Sunagakure Ninja Village. But when he saw that the war situation was not good, he simply gave up. After all, he had to maintain the lives of so many people for a must-lose war. Military spending is simply too extravagant and wasteful. "Although it is a bit regretful, it is not unacceptable. The envoys from the Kingdom of Fire have sent a preliminary peace negotiation agreement. At least they are very sincere in the peace negotiation and have no intention of coveting much from the Kingdom of Wind." The second generation Kazekage said, Then he smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing here worth coveting." The self-deprecating words of the second generation Fengying couldn't help but arouse the desolation in everyone's heart. Why did they throw their lives and blood for this country? Good land "The specific peace agreement still needs to be discussed in detail with the Konoha Ninja Village. Let's try our best to gain some benefits for the country. That's what the Daimyo said as well." The Second Kazekage concluded.Therefore, the Sunagakure Ninja Village requested a temporary truce from the Konoha Ninja Village and asked to discuss the terms of the peace talks. Seeing that the other party finally gave in, the Konoha Ninja Village was also very happy, and immediately sent envoys to negotiate with the other party. The first draft of the agreement was fired. The article sent by the envoy from the country was not deceptive on this point.What Tobirama plans to adopt is Masaki Fengmori's suggestion. The Kingdom of Wind is a country that is both strong and fragile. The strength lies in their military power and the vulnerability lies in their domestic life. If there is no way to kill them with a stick, then slowly bleed them. , it is a good idea to eliminate its consequences.Therefore, in the peace talks with Sunagakure Ninja Village, what we should pay attention to is the long-term bloodletting goal. It doesn't hurt to give the other party some preferential treatment in the short-term goal, and don't make the other party jump over the wall.First, after the agreement is signed, both parties will withdraw their troops and return, and will not be allowed to enter the country of Sichuan again. This is a necessary condition, and no one has any objections; second, the two parties have concluded an alliance treaty and cannot invade each other. When one party applies for military assistance, the other party should appropriately Assist in maintaining peace in the ninja world; third, it is to return the land obtained by the Kingdom of Wind when the Tailed Beasts were enfeoffed, as compensation for the invasion of the Kingdom of Fire, and the war compensation can be appropriately reduced.This has been expected for a long time. As the losing side, the Kingdom of Wind will naturally have to pay some price. These lands were not from the Kingdom of Wind in the first place. Although it is heartbreaking, it is still acceptable, at least that's how it feels psychologically; Fourth, use the Kingdom of Sichuan as a transit point to establish commercial channels and carry out mutual markets. The Kingdom of Fire can provide food, fruits, living utensils and other urgently needed materials in the Kingdom of Wind, and sell them at reasonable prices, with preferential treatment depending on the situation.If the Kingdom of Wind cannot match the price in terms of money, it can also use the country's abundant ores instead.This is the condition that makes the daimyo excited. He can get what he lacks without war. Even if it costs money, it is lower than the military expenditure required for war. Fifth, Sunagakure Ninja Village needs to rent out part of the chakra metal. Mineral veins, Konoha Ninja Village will provide rental fees every year, which is food and money.This needs to be carefully considered by Sunagakure 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 as its structure.Although it cannot be said that it is a resource that cannot be given away, it is still an important one that makes people hesitate.What makes people curious is why the Konoha Ninja Village needs chakra metal. Speaking of chakra metal, it is basically used to make chakra knives. It is useful, but it cannot be said to be very powerful. The new method of utilization is The puppets of Sunagakure Ninja Village, so some people think that Konoha Ninja Village wants to imitate puppet tactics.It seemed a bit alarming, but after thinking about it, the second Kazekage felt that there was no need to make such a fuss. Indeed, if it is the method of making puppets, the Konoha Ninja Village can always figure it out as long as they study it carefully, but the core of puppet manipulation is It only belongs to the Sunagakure Ninja Village. This is formed by the unique geographical environment and cultural traditions. It is not so easy to imitate. Once imitated, the Sunagakure Ninja Village will be far ahead of the Konoha Ninja Village.Moreover, the Konohagakure Ninja Village is only renting. Although everyone can see that it is obviously an occupation. If it really wants to be occupied, the Sunagakure Ninja Village cannot object. In the name of leasing, at least the Sunagakure Ninja Village can still get food and money, which can still be allowed. People accepted it, so this condition was agreed to.The general content of the peace agreement was five, and some of the details were completed. Both parties were satisfied and handed it over to their respective leaders. After reading it, the second Kazekage said to the others: "The peace talks in Konoha Ninja Village are still very good. The sincerity is lower than we thought. Mutual trade is also what we need. This war is not like getting nothing." "However, it is still very shameful to sign such a treaty." Chiyo lowered his head slightly. "So, I hope you will not forget what happened today. If there is a chance in the future, you must let the Konoha Ninja Village repay you. But if you don't have that opportunity, you must make good friends with the Konoha Ninja Village. Don't let feelings affect your decision-making. I promise I hope you can keep the interests of the country in mind." "Yes," everyone said in unison.After that, the two sides agreed on the location for the peace talks. This time, there were no people like Jinjiao and Yinjiao to disturb them. The treaty was successfully signed, the army was immediately withdrawn, and compensation and land would be delivered one after another. Although there were still many things to follow, peace The dawn of has quietly arrived.
