Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

"In addition to these conditions, we cannot agree to them. Please ask Konoha to return the One-Tail Jinchuriki of our village." The Sand Village messenger said:

"In this way, we can not only sign a truce agreement with Konoha, but also form an alliance with Konoha to face the Iwagakure Village together."

"......"

After the Sand Village messenger finished speaking, even the Third Hokage, who had always been proud of his good upbringing, could not listen any more and looked at the Sand Village messenger with some surprise.

If they only listened to the messenger's words, others might have thought that the war ended with the Sand Village defeating Konoha.

Not only did they not want to give any compensation, they even wanted Konoha to return the One-Tail directly to them. It was really wishful thinking!

As for the alliance, I'm afraid even the people in the Sand Village don't believe it.

If they really want to fight with the Iwagakure Village, it would be good enough if the Sand Village didn't stab Konoha in the back, and they would have to fight against the Iwagakure Village together.

"Hmph, it seems that your Third Kazekage is not ready to stop the war, and actually sent you to humiliate Konoha!" Mito Kado En shouted angrily.

"When Konoha invades the interior of the Wind Country and reaches the gate of the Sand Village, I hope you can still be so stubborn." Utatane Koharu said slowly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat, did not speak, but did not stop the two advisors, which showed his attitude.

"You two have misunderstood. I believe you also know the situation of our Sand Village."

The Sand Village envoy was scolded and threatened by the two consultants, but he was not angry. Instead, he continued calmly:

"Although our Wind Country is large, most of the land is desert. Not only are the resources scarce, but there is also a severe shortage of water."

"The Daimyo of the Wind Country is not in harmony with our Sand Village. The compensation that Konoha wants is really a death sentence for us. We really can't afford it."

"Besides, you don't have to say anything harsh."

"Now the tailed beasts of each village are mostly captured by the first generation of Hokage and divided equally among the villages."

"Do you remember the purpose of the first generation of Hokage to divide the tailed beasts equally? He wanted to make the strength of the five major ninja villages relatively balanced and avoid war."

"Now that Konoha has the strongest Nine-Tails, you Do you think Iwagakure and Kumogakure will allow Konoha to get another One-Tail? "

"You three don't need to threaten us Sand Village. Although we are one of the two weakest of the five major ninja villages, we have been in the harsh environment of the desert for a long time. Although our strength is not strong, the will tempered by the wind and sand will not be easily defeated."

"Besides, Konoha wants to attack the interior of the Wind Country, and Iwagakure is watching from the side."

"Do you think that Iwagakure will just watch you attack Sand Village?"

"If it really comes to that, at most, our Sand Village and Iwagakure will form an alliance to deal with Konoha together."

"......"

"It seems that this envoy has not yet understood the situation. He has just arrived today, so why not rest for two days before talking." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Okay, then let's talk after Konoha understands the situation." The Sand Village envoy said without giving in.

When the Sand Village envoy left with his assistant, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two were left in the huge Konoha meeting room, but the faces of the three were not very good.

The demands they put forward were not high. Three billion taels might be a lot for an individual, but for a ninja village, a Sand Village ranked among the top five ninja villages, and the Wind Country behind it, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, if they could not accept it, they could negotiate.

By offering a high price, they were preparing to let the Sand Village bargain. At most, they would only compensate half. Sarutobi Hiruzen could even accept only one-third, 1 billion taels.

Signing a truce agreement and paying another 1 billion taels, if the Sand Village obeyed obediently, it was not impossible for them to return the one tail directly.

After all, as the Sand Village envoy said, Konoha already had the strongest Nine-Tails. If they got another tailed beast, I am afraid that the Rock Village and the Cloud Village would not sit idly by.

However, they did not expect that the Sand Village envoy was as hard as a stone in the toilet.

Not only was he unwilling to pay any compensation, he also wanted them to return the one-tailed beast, and the only condition he offered was to form an alliance with Konoha.

Do you really think Konoha is easy to bully?

The key point is that the villagers of the Land of Fire and Konoha Village don't want to continue the war.

Konoha itself occupies the richest Land of Fire, and the residents live a rich life. The Sand Village has not invaded the Land of Fire, and the war is very costly, so naturally they don't want to continue the war.

Moreover, with the Rock Village next to it, it is unlikely that Konoha will really invade the Wind Country.

So this war is completely thankless.

The Sand Village obviously also knows Konoha's situation, so the Sand Village envoy dared to ask for a high price and was not prepared to accept any conditions.

In fact, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, he has already startedHajime tended to accept the conditions of the Sand Village.

As long as the war could be ended, a compensation of 1 billion taels was not much for the rich Land of Fire and Konoha.

But the key point was that if the conditions of the Sand Village were really followed, it was unknown how the people would react, and the ninjas probably would not accept it.

The war with the Sand Village lasted for two years, consuming huge manpower and material resources. It was unknown how many ninjas died on the battlefield. If the Sand Village was defeated without any substantial results, the ninjas would probably have great resentment towards the Hokage.

Therefore, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to agree, it would be impossible.

It would be nice if someone could take the blame.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart, but suddenly remembered the last time the Rain Ninja paid compensation.

"Eagle, how is Danzo doing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the air.

The next moment, an Anbu ninja wearing black clothes and an eagle mask appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and reported:

"Report to Lord Hokage, according to the Anbu ninja report, because of the defeat of Sand Village, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have been quite restrained recently, and Lord Danzo has not been able to provoke their conflicts."

"That's a pity," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion: "If we can provoke a war between them, maybe we can really break into Sand Village and teach Sand Village a lesson."

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little guilty towards Danzo.

"I'm sorry, Danzo, who made you fail to provoke a war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

"Anyway, you have already shouldered it once, and you should be able to bear it again."

At this moment, in a secret base somewhere in the Land of Fields, Danzo suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Has the base been discovered? Let's go to another place first."

In a sense, Shimura Danzo's criticism of Sarutobi Hiruzen is quite accurate. As the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed too weak.

Konoha is still the strongest among the five major ninja villages, but because of too many worries, it dares not fight against the outside world and strikes hard at home. Konoha's strength will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will fall from the position of the strongest.

Even if the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to capture Kushina in the future, it did not retaliate against the Hidden Cloud Village, which led to the Hidden Cloud Village wanting to kidnap Hinata, but instead caused Hyuga Hizashi to commit suicide to apologize.

Sarutobi Hiruzen may be good as a ninja, but he is still too weak as a Hokage.
