Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

To prepare the venue for these guests coming from afar.

The two eight-story buildings closest to the Wind Shadow Building in the Sand Village were vacated.

One of the buildings is inhabited by people from the Earth Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom, and the other is inhabited by people from the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom.

As for the five daimyo, separate villas were arranged for them.

It can be said that the five daimyo came here just for tourism this time.

Although they were daimyo, in this backward era, they did not need to be responsible for too many official duties. The daimyo could only manage a few large cities including the daimyo prefecture, and the rest were in a self-sufficient wild state.

The military strength they possess is completely incomparable to that of the Ninja Village.

The only thing they can use to curb the ninja village is supplies and military funds.

So, for them, enjoying extravagance is the main task in their life.

Why doesn't Luo Sha just rise up in rebellion now?

The main reason is that it is unnecessary. The existence of the daimyo actually has no impact on the Sand Village. That bit of disgust can be tolerated temporarily, but if the Sand Village becomes independent directly, it will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Because in this world ruled by bloodline, the concept of hierarchy is still imprinted in the hearts of many native residents of this world. If Rasa becomes the outlier, it will definitely arouse hostility from the entire upper class of the ninja world.

At the moment, that was not what Luo Sha wanted to see.

The Five Nations Conference as a whole had little to do with these five daimyo.

Their job is just to eat and drink.

For example, on the first day, the five daimyos gathered together and attended a banquet hosted by the Sand Village.

In addition to the five daimyo and the kage of the five major ninja villages, visiting noble leaders and family patriarchs are eligible to participate.

Later, the Sand Village gave them the right to move freely in the Sand Village.

The five daimyos continued to eat, drink, and play around while being served by the Sand Village, and then waited for the Desert Flower Ninja Examination to begin.

However, the shadows of the five major ninja villages cannot sit idle.

After the first day of partying, early the next morning.

The five Kages and two guards came to the meeting room prepared by the Sand Village.

The highlight of this Five Nations Conference has just begun...

————————————————————

Huge conference room.

A round stone table was placed in the center, and then there were five chairs occupying the five corners.

Among those present from the Sand Village were: the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Maki, and Jingu.

Those present from Konoha were: the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Shikaku, and Haiyi.

Those present from the Hidden Cloud Village were: the third Raikage Ai, the future fourth Raikage, and Dodai.

Those present from the Iwagakure Village were: the third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Koto, and Azushito.

Those present from the Hidden Mist Village were: the fourth generation Mist Shadow, Karujira Jūzō, Biwa Juzō, and Hozuki Mangetsu.

After everyone took their seats, the meeting officially began.

It’s just that everyone looked at each other, and no one was the first to speak.

Seeing this, Luo Sha said directly.

"Although this meeting is held in our Sand Village, the initiator is the Hokage after all, so let the host be the Hokage."

Minato Namikaze was stunned, and then a little surprised.

"I understand. If others have no objection, then I will take the responsibility."

The other three shadows naturally had no objection.

“Thank you for your support!”

After expressing his gratitude, Minato Namikaze glanced at everyone and continued.

"First of all, I must thank everyone for being here and making this Five Kage Tournament a success. Therefore, can I confirm that everyone no longer wants to fight, and everyone is here for only one reason, and that is to end this war."

As soon as Minato finished speaking, the Third Raikage spoke immediately.

"Hokage, peace is not something that can be achieved with words. We have lost so much in this war, someone has to compensate us."

Oonoki immediately took over.

"Compensation, Raikage, who do you want to compensate you? Konoha? War is a matter of life and death, not to mention that the winner has not yet been decided. If you really want compensation, Mizukage, shouldn't you, Kirigakure, give us an explanation to the Iwagakure Village?"

Although Goju Shicang is short in stature, its momentum is not weak at all.

"No... explanation, Tsuchikage, we in the Kirigakure don't need to explain to anyone. We in the Kirigakure are also victims of this war. The Sandaime committed suicide and lost the Vulpix. Tsuchikage, what explanation do you need from us in the Kirigakure?"

"That was your Kirigakure's business, and has nothing to do with our Iwagakure. It was your Kirigakure that framed us, causing our Iwagakure to lose the Five-Tails. Moreover, the person who came to our Iwagakure was the Biwa Juzo behind you, right?"

"That has nothing to do with us, Kirigakure. We have already paid the price we deserve. All of this can only be said to be your own fault, Iwagakure. The Kazekage had already agreed to trade with you."

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that the Tsuchikage and Kirigakure were about to quarrel, the Raikage and Rasa were watching on the side, and Minato stopped them and said.

"Okay, you two, it's obvious that there will be no result if we continue arguing. In this case, let's first confirm one thing and set a premise for the official start of the discussion. First of all: I can, on behalf of Konoha, let go of all the hatred brought about by this war."

This surprised the other four, including Luo Sha.

After all, if we talk about Konoha's biggest enemy today, the Sand Village definitely has a place.

"Since the Hokage has said so, it would seem that I have no tolerance if I disagree. I can also make a promise on behalf of our Sand Village."

The Mizukage quickly echoed this.

"We in the Hidden Mist Village will be fine too."

After all, Kirigakure's presence in this war was basically non-existent except for causing the Tailed Beast Rebellion in the Sand Village in the end.

Seeing that the Hokage, Kazekage, and Mizukage all said so, the Raikage naturally had no choice, but Ōnoki still asked without giving up.

"Let go of your hatred. Can I understand that, Kazekage, you can return the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to our Iwagakure Village?"

Luo Sha snorted coldly.

"Of course we can return it to your Iwagakure Village, but that depends on how much money your Iwagakure Village is willing to pay. Besides that, we still cannot pay a penny less for the damage caused by the Five-Tails and Six-Tails to our Sandgakure Village."

Ohnoki's expression changed.

"Fengying, is this what you call letting go of hatred?"

"Isn't it? If I hadn't let go of my hatred, do you think I would be willing to return the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to you? Although we in the Sand Village don't need the power of the tailed beasts now, we don't mind having one more tailed beast."

"you..."

Oonoki was furious for a moment, and it was Kotachi Shikura who asked.

"So what do you think the Kazekage should do to compensate you, the Sand Village?"

Luo Sha already had an idea.

"We in the Sand Village are not greedy. At the first Five Kage Tournament, your Kirigakure paid the same amount of military expenses from the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, to get the Vulpix. How much should you compensate us for?"

After hearing this, Gouju Shicang said without thinking.

"That's impossible. We in the Hidden Mist Village are indeed sorry about the Vulpix, but Vulpix is ​​already dead. If it was still alive, we wouldn't mind."

"You don't agree? Then there's nothing to discuss."

Now, the talks were deadlocked from the beginning...
