Konoha's logic genius

"Master Fengying."

"Konoha White Fang."

The two said at the same time, and then jumped back in tacit agreement to keep a safe distance between them so that they could talk.

"You speak first."

The Third Kazekage said to Hatake Sakumo after being silent.

"Master Kazekage, this war has been going on for three years."

"I want to know what the Kazekage-sama, or Suna Ninja Village, wants."

"Master Kazekage should also know that it is impossible for Suna Ninja Village to completely defeat Konoha Village."

Hatake Sakumo fought with the Third Kazekage for three years. From his fighting style, he could tell that the Third Kazekage was a determined person and it was difficult for others to change.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo has nothing to correct, but points directly to the core of this war, which is the issue of interests of both sides.

This is also Hatake Sakumo's style.

The Third Kazekage snorted.

"You, the Leaf Village, should know very well what our Sand Ninja Village wants."

"Your Konoha Village has the richest land, the best economy, and the largest population among the five major countries."

"But our Sand Ninja Village is in the endless desert. Compared with your Konoha Village, it's just a cloud of mud."

"Is that what we're asking for?"

"Our request is simple, money or land."

"Do you give it?"

The Third Kazekage said in a sharp tone that this matter is related to the quality of life of the entire village of Sand Ninja Village. As the Third Kazekage, he shoulders the hopes of many residents of Sand Ninja Village. At this point, he is absolutely impossible There is no concession at all.

Hatake Sakumo nodded. He actually knew this. If we look at the situation on the battlefield in Ameno Village, the high-level requirements of Konoha Village are that Konoha Village must win in order to end the war.

However, after Danzo's death, although Konoha's top brass still regard profit as their foundation, they are no longer as stubborn as before.

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo felt that it was time for this war to end.

"Master Kazekage, let me tell you everything."

"Of course we at the top of Konoha will not compromise easily, but as long as you put enough pressure on the Konoha ninja forces, you may succeed."

"And the negotiator appointed by Konoha after the war is basically me."

"However, I want to tell Lord Kazekage first. That is, the land of the Land of Fire will not be distributed to Lord Kazekage, nor will war compensation be directly given to Lord Kazekage..."

Hearing this, the Third Kazekage snorted, "What's there to talk about?"

No talk!

The Third Kazekage directly interrupted Hatake Sakumo's words, chakra surged up again and prepared to fight Hatake Sakumo.

"White Fang, you are dreaming."

"Since you are so insincere, the Sand Ninja Village will fight to the death with the Leaf Village."

"Even if you Konoha can defeat us Sand Ninja, you will definitely suffer a serious injury!"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Don't worry, Kazekage-sama."

"I'm not finished yet."

After hearing these words, the Third Kazekage's anger dropped slightly, but he still said in a sharp tone:

"White Fang, you'd better speak quickly."

Hatake Sakumo nodded, and then said: "Although the land of Konoha Village will not be given to Suna Ninja Village, the land resources of Konoha Village can be leased to Suna Ninja Village."

"Although Konoha Village will not directly give money to Suna Ninja Village, Konoha Village's task system can be shared with Suna Ninja Village, thereby giving Suna Ninja Village a large-scale amount of money for tasks."

"How about it?"

After hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, the Third Kazekage was thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

If Suna Ninja Village can lease the land resources of Konoha Village, then the residents of Suna Ninja Village can rent Konoha's land to build houses, plant cash crops and other things.

If the Sand Ninja Village can have enough missions, then the Sand Ninja Village, who is good at using puppetry, can finally obtain high mission rewards without any injuries.

The problem with the original Sand Ninjas in this regard was that it wasn't that they didn't have enough strength to complete the mission, but that no one was willing to ask them, who were "desolate, remote and backward", to do the mission.

This is already a big concession. It is definitely not easy for Hatake Sakumo to say this.

However, the Third Kazekage, who was well versed in negotiation, still pretended not to care and said coldly to Hatake Sakumo.

"Is that all?"

Hatake Sakumo smiled. This was a common negotiation technique. He usually used this technique when negotiating on behalf of Konoha. He also expected the Third Kazekage to use this technique.

However, since Hatake Sakumo had anticipated this, he would naturally not be manipulated by Suna Ninja Village. The conditions he promised were only half of them.

"We can also let the ninjas from Suna Ninja Village enter Konoha Village to exchange and learn. The young ninjas from Suna Ninja Village can even come to Konoha's ninja school to study, or jointly conduct the Chunin Examination with Konoha."

"Finally, and most importantly."

"We are willing to establish an alliance with Suna Ninja Village. Anyone who attacks Suna Ninja Village in the future will also be the enemy of our Konoha Village. Our Konoha Village will form a strong lineup for strategic support."

Hatake Sakumo said with a smile that the Third Kazekage would never refuse this offer.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Third Kazekage was just asking tentatively, but this tentative question brought out so many things, which shocked the Third Kazekage.

Land, economy, village-based education, and the final military and political alliance...

The conditions that Hatake Sakumo just mentioned met almost all the requirements in the mind of the Third Kazekage, which actually made the Third Kazekage begin to doubt Hatake Sakumo.

Although he knew that Hatake Sakumo, who was loyal to the sword, was the kind of person who would not lie.

"Of course it's true."

Hatake Sakumo said with a smile.

In fact, this is not a decision that he can make, but a decision that Uzumaki Mito can make with his rights, or...

This was a decision Uzumaki Kiyoshi made in the name of Uzumaki Mito.

On the battlefield, Uzumaki Kiyoshi, who was sitting in front of the Shukaku Shield, saw that Hatake Sakumo and the Third Kazekage stopped fighting and began to talk about something, and he understood that Hatake Sakumo and the Third Kazekage should be negotiating.

The content of the discussion was most likely the suggestions that Uzumaki Kiyoshi made to Hatake Sakumo last night under the guise of Uzumaki Mito telling him.

In fact, even now, Uzumaki Kiyoshi is deeply impressed by Hatake Sakumo's praise at that time.

The suggestions put forward by Uzumaki Kiyoshi, while extremely in line with the requirements of Suna Ninja Village, will not cause the slightest loss to the direct interests of Konoha Village.

Whether it is land leasing, task sharing, educational exchanges or an alliance between the two villages, they are all beneficial to Suna Ninja Village and also have great benefits to Konoha Village.

For land leasing and task sharing, Konoha can take [-]% or [-]% of the leasing fee or task introduction fee and enjoy the benefits.

While educational exchanges improve the average quality of Suna ninjas, they also improve the average quality of Konoha ninjas.

In the final alliance between the two villages, it is true that all enemies who attack Suna Ninja are enemies of Konoha, but conversely, aren't all enemies who attack Konoha also enemies of Suna Ninja Village.

Uzumaki Kiyoshi, who understands the original work, knows very well that in the future, Konoha Village will obviously have more enemies, so this will be more beneficial to Konoha.

The combination of these conditions was enough to make the Third Kazekage so excited that he was unwilling to give up.

So at this point, the question is not actually whether the Third Kazekage will answer or not.

But it depends on whether the Sand Ninja led by the Third Kazekage can meet the prerequisites set by Uzumaki Kiyoshi, which is...

Put enough pressure on Konoha's ninja troops.
