I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Others wanted to persuade him again, but once Gaara made his decision, no one could stop him.

After Ebizo learned of Gaara's thoughts, he started writing a reply directly. It turned out that he, the old man, knew Gaara best.

After the letter was sent, Ye Lan received the news and immediately arranged for Shikamaru and others to set off.

There was no deliberate concealment of this meeting, and when other villages found out, they just made a few verbal accusations, which did not cause much stir.

But no one expected that the person sent by Yuyin to negotiate was actually Shikamaru.

"I never thought you would run to the Hidden Rain Village. You are now a traitorous ninja of Konoha."

As soon as she saw Shikamaru, Temari couldn't help but speak.

For a moment, all the Sunagakure ninjas who came to greet them looked at Shikamaru and others with great vigilance.

"Rebel Ninja?"

Shikamaru signaled the Amegakure soldiers following him to put down their weapons, and he looked at Temari calmly.

"Konoha's rules don't apply to Amegakure, not to mention the two countries are currently at war."

"You're such a smooth talker."

Temari gritted her teeth. She still remembered the first time she lost to Shikamaru, this guy still looked so nonchalant.

"Why aren't you letting me in when I was invited by your Kazekage?"

Shikamaru looked at the gate of Sunagakure. To be honest, he had been here several times.

"Step aside!"

Temari ordered her men to clear the way, but Shikamaru couldn't help but say something as he passed by.

"Konoha said that you failed to supervise properly and caused the factory to explode, resulting in excessive losses. Later, you killed a jonin from the same village and betrayed the village after being exposed. Nara Shikamaru didn't expect you to be such a person."

Ino and Choji, who were following behind Shikamaru, wanted to have a debate.

Shikamaru shook his head at them, not wanting to argue about this, so he just responded.

"I just did what I thought was right."

"what?"

Temari wanted to continue asking, but Shikamaru left quickly. He knew where Gaara's office was.

By the time she caught up with him again, Shikamaru had already arrived at the Kazekage Building.

Everyone looked at Shikamaru in surprise as he entered the building, now no longer wearing Konoha's ninja vest.

Instead, it was the uniform of the chief of Amegakure, with a jet-black background, a slim-fitting jacket, the Amegakure logo engraved on the back, and no forehead protector.

The most important thing is that Shikamaru is too famous now, and he has come to Sunagakure many times, so many people have an impression of him.

"wait!"

Temari hurried over, very upset at being ignored by the other party.

"You should go and inform Gaara now."

Shikamaru said bluntly that it was Ye Lan who told him to be so tough. He should not be weak in momentum from the beginning. Most of the people in Sunagakure admired the strong.

Temari choked and looked at the other person angrily. She no longer asked what Shikamaru meant by what he just said, and hurried to the Kazekage's office.

After waiting patiently for a while, Shikamaru and his companions were brought in, while the remaining Rain Village soldiers were arranged to stay in a nearby inn.

After Shikamaru entered the room, he looked around and saw that not only Gaara was here, but also many high-level officials of Sunagakure.

These people looked at Shikamaru with both hostility and friendliness.

Shikamaru sat down calmly, ignoring the gazes of others, he looked at Gaara and spoke directly.

"Shikamaru Nara is the representative of the Rain Country to negotiate with Sunagakure. Do you have any questions?"

When Shikamaru personally admitted his identity, the top leaders of Sunagakure couldn't help but whisper to each other, until Maki coughed twice and stopped.

Gaara was also distracted for a moment. He was still thinking about whether to tell Konoha about this news. After all, no one expected Shikamaru to join the Hidden Rain Village.

It was only after Ebizo poked him with his arm that he reacted.

Gaara smiled again.

"Welcome everyone from Yuyin. We have received your intention to stop the war, but can you tell us the specific conditions?"

Shikamaru turned around and looked at Ino who was standing behind him.

After receiving the signal, Ino took out a stack of documents from her handbag and handed them to the Sunagakure senior executives.

Gaara was the first to watch. He took a quick glance and remained silent.

"Ridiculous! Asking us to hand over all the information about ninjas is no different from surrendering!"

A senior executive could no longer sit still after reading this. The two sides were just testing each other and the fight hadn't really started yet, but Yuyin was already going this far. What would happen next?

Shikamaru ignored the noisy Sunagakure senior as he waited for Gaara's answer.

"It's a bit unreasonable. I can't agree to your request."

Gaara looked embarrassed. Yuyin's request almost made them reveal all their cards.

"Lord Kazekage, you should know what happened to Iwagakure. We didn't ask you to disarm all your armed forces, but we have made many concessions by asking you to submit information."

Shikamaru crossed his fingers on the table.

"But your request is not just that. There is also a clause requiring your army to be stationed in the Kingdom of Wind. What does this mean?"

Ebizo also had a document in his hand. After Chiyo's death, Ebizo came out of retirement completely, and his reputation in Sunagakure was also not low.

"We are here to ensure that the war will not start again. We also guarantee that the troops stationed here will not interfere with the management of the Wind Country and will not disturb the civilian population."

Ebizo, "This kind of guarantee is really not reassuring."

Shikamaru chuckled, "Don't worry, Amegakure doesn't have a habit of breaking alliances."

As soon as Shikamaru said this, the faces of the Sunagakure people instantly turned ugly. Everyone in the ninja world knew that Sunagakure was the party that most often broke agreements.

"And compared to Iwagakure, Sunagakure has retained enough rights. We respect Kazekage-sama very much."

"We haven't lost yet, and you haven't won yet!"

Shikamaru, "That's because our focus is not here. It's a fact that we haven't made any progress in the battle line after allowing you to attack for such a long time."

"Unless you still want to continue fighting."

Shikamaru's words shocked everyone. Iwagakure was unable to resist the attack of Amegakure, and the entire Land of Earth was destroyed in just a few months.

This matter was like a sharp knife hanging over everyone's neck, and no one was sure when Yuyin would take the initiative to launch an attack.

How long can Sand Village last by then? Will it be the same as Iwagakure or shorter?

What should they do then?

Seeing that the other party had fallen silent, Shikamaru's expression relaxed and he pointed to the document in his hand and said.

"And it's not like you won't benefit. Once the treaty is signed, Yuyin can provide technology to help you build factories and jobs, and your pressure will be reduced."

"Is it the same as before in Konoha?"

Another high-ranking member of the Sand Village asked. They were very envious of the establishment of the Konoha factory area. Even though most of the equipment was burned and most of the technicians left, Konoha still gritted its teeth and rebuilt it.

"That's right. We provide the technology and you pay for it. We will also open some schools that specialize in teaching these technologies. We will teach you most of the unarmed technologies, so that it doesn't matter even if you open your own factory in the future."

Shikamaru's words were like a bombshell. This was a treatment that even Konoha had never received before, but Amegakure actually gave it to them.
