Under the coercion and inducement of Konoha, both Hashirama's proposal to normalize the Five Kage Talks and Kamatsuki's proposal to form a ninja alliance were finally passed unanimously, and the topic of the meeting turned to clarifying the details of the talks and the alliance, the first of which was the specific time of the talks.

Seeing that the four Kage were so easy to talk to, Hashirama was moved to tears and wished to hold a Five Kage Talks every day. Madara was also happy that they came to Konoha as guests every day, so that he could take care of everything, but the four Kage obviously couldn't stand this.

If possible, they sincerely hope that the next Five Kage Talks can be held in a hundred years.

After some arguments, as well as Hashirama Senju's persistence and Uchiha Madara's intimidation, the Five Kage Talks finally decided to be held every six months.

The second topic passed by the meeting was the establishment of trade channels between the five major countries proposed by Tobirama.

Ninjas are not businessmen. To be honest, the four Kages have no interest in the trade migration that Tobirama mentioned. What they really covet is Konoha's food.

"Don't worry, Konoha will never treat its allies unfairly. The food in our village will definitely be sold to everyone at a generous price!"

Hashirama vowed to sell the village's food to the other four villages at a low price. Tobirama's eyelids twitched again, but he didn't say anything. However, it was this casual attitude that made the other four Kages jealous.

The Warring States period has not ended for long, and the ninja world is still groping for a new order. Food is of course the capital for each ninja village to settle down and compete for territory. But now, except for the wealthy Konoha and the Kirigakure, which relies on the sea, the other three villages are all worried about food, especially the Sand Village, which has almost reached the point where it can't even open the pot.

There is such a big gap, it is not because the living ninjas and farmers of the four villages are too lazy, it can only be said that in terms of agricultural development, Konoha is born with an advantage that can surpass other villages by hundreds of streets.

In order to stock up food, the ninjas of the five major countries have been snatching food from the nobles for three whole years. Now even the daimyo have no surplus food. But when the ninjas really grow their own food, in addition to having the Inari God Kamatsuki, they also occupy a large area of ​​fertile land and cultivate a large number of living ninjas in Konoha. Other villages can only worry about their own harsh environment.

The Hidden Mist Village can at least catch some seafood from the sea to eat, while the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Rock Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village are even worse. In order not to starve to death, they can only obediently import food from Konoha.

If Konoha was not as powerful as it is now, the four villages would have attacked it and taken away all of Konoha's wealth. However, no matter how unwilling they were, as long as Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were still alive, Konoha would be able to intimidate the other four ninja villages with its terrifying strength.

Although he was so jealous that he almost vomited blood and wanted to take over all the property of Konoha, the lackey Reto still flattered him skillfully, and kept flattering him, praising Hashirama until he was dizzy:

"Hokage-sama is so generous. I want to thank you on behalf of all the villagers of Sand Village! Your kindness will surely be sung forever in the ninja world and will be passed down through the ages!"

"That's right, we will definitely remember the kindness of Hokage-sama!"

"Uh, long live Hokage-sama!"

The four Kages talked one after another, and the endless rainbow farts drowned Hashirama again, making him laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He almost said something like free food to him, but under the murderous gazes of Madara and Tobirama, he still shut his mouth honestly.

Rubbing his shoulder, which was almost broken by Madara's slap, Hashirama's eyes fell on the other four Kages, and he let them have the right to speak:

"Why am I the one who is always talking? Everyone, please don't be polite. Do you have any suggestions or requests? Speak up quickly!"

"This..."

The four Kages looked at each other. Of course, they had a lot of requests to make and a lot of advantages to take, but under the obvious threat of Uchiha Madara, no one dared to be the first to speak out.

After a long silence, the Kazekage Reto, who was under the greatest pressure to survive, gritted his teeth, faced the cold gaze of Uchiha Madara, and took the lead in breaking the stalemate:

"Hokage, the land of the Wind Country is not productive, and the people of the entire country are suffering from hunger and thirst!"

"The people can only rely on a small number of oases to survive, but these years, these oases are also being swallowed by the desert. If this continues, the people of the Wind Country will not even be able to survive!"

Speaking of the tragic situation of the Wind Country, Reto was so sad that his eyes turned red, and this pain was completely from the heart, without any falsehood.

As if he had grabbed the only life-saving straw, Reto's eager eyes looked straight at the man standing on the pillarShen Yue behind Hashirama shouted with a bit of morbid enthusiasm:

"The whole ninja world knows that Shen Yue's Wood Release can create a large green forest. The Sand Village is willing to be Konoha's ally forever. Please help us!"

"Of course..."

Just when Hashirama wanted to agree on the spot, a hand wearing a black glove suddenly clasped his head firmly. With the anger of the owner, it slowly closed and tightened. Fortunately, Hashirama's head was very hard, so it was not crushed.

"Hokage."

Uchiha Madara raised a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp and cold. Looking at Madara like this, Hashirama was so scared that he trembled all over, cold sweat kept pouring out, and he couldn't spit out a word.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

Looking at the suddenly furious Madara and the trembling Hashirama, the four Kages panicked in their hearts, but they couldn't help but glance at Uchiha Shenyue, who turned his head and pretended not to see anything, with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred flashing in their eyes.

Whether it's strength or brains, and the cheating Wood Release and Sharingan, no matter how you look at it, she is the top successor who can replace Madara and Hashirama in terms of strength and Tobirama in politics. With her, even after a few decades, Konoha can still be firmly above the entire ninja world!

Damn it, why didn't such a genius reincarnate into their village!

Seeing the situation become deadlocked again, Retsu, who had no way out, gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made up his mind and slowly stood up from his seat. At the same time, the guard behind him, Shamon, who was also his most trusted deputy, closed his eyes in despair, unwilling to see what was going to happen next.

"The Sand Village has a tailed beast. As long as Lord Kamatsuki can help us, the Sand Village is willing to give this tailed beast to Konoha!"

Reto's words were like thunder. While splitting the silence, they also stirred the entire conference hall like a pot of boiling water. Whether it was the shadows or the guards, everyone stared in disbelief and looked at Reto with the eyes of a madman.

That's the tailed beast!

Even for strong people like them, this is almost a strategic weapon like a natural disaster. The Sand Village doesn't even want a trump card?

Madara's face eased a little, but he didn't make any statement. Seeing how far Reto had gone, Hashirama softened his heart and wanted to agree to him directly, but now he has learned to be smart and remember to discuss it with his best friend and brother first:

"Madara, Tobirama, you see that the Sand Village has taken out the tailed beast, why don't we agree?"

Tobirama frowned and thought quietly. To be honest, after hearing Reto's conditions, he was shamelessly moved.

"That's worth considering..."

"No! How can Shenyue eat sand in the desert? Hashirama, if you dare to agree, I'll tear your head off!"

Seeing that Uchiha Madara still disagreed, Retsu, who was anxious and angry, closed his eyes in despair and put another trump card in front of Konoha with difficulty:

"The Sand Village is willing to give a gold mine under the name of the village to Konoha..."

"I agree!"

When she heard the word "gold mine", Shenyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she agreed to it directly regardless of how ugly Madara's face was.

"Since Shenyue has agreed, then this matter is settled!"

Hashirama immediately took advantage of the situation, and after hearing that the Hokage finally agreed, Retsu fell back into his seat weakly, his face extremely gray.

Now, the Sand Village can only really be Konoha's eternal ally and can never turn over again.

After Reito, the second person who dared to make demands on Konoha was Tsuchikage Ishigawa, who looked silly but was actually very smart. His demands were also very interesting, and were not the usual fighting and killing among ninjas.

"Hokage, can you send the young ninjas in the village to Konoha to study?"

Realizing that the ninja villages would definitely unite, Ishigawa simply planned to send the young people in the village to Konoha so that Iwagakure would not be abandoned by the tide of the times.

He could see clearly that the daimyo had lost the basis for their rule. They had neither power nor wealth. The so-called supreme status was nothing but a castle in the air that could be broken with a poke, and the ones who would take over their rule over the ninja world would inevitably be ninjas.

Now, the five major ninja villages have shown a trend and signs of replacing the daimyo to rule the country, but how should ninjas govern an entire country?

Ishigawa didn't understand, and of course he couldn't teach the next generation of the village. He could only send the children to a place where they knew this knowledge, hoping that Konoha could teach them. Fortunately, the children could always touch the soft spot in Madara and Hashirama's hearts, and soon, his proposal was passed unanimously..

.....

From early morning to dark, the first Five Kage meeting came to a temporary end amid constant confrontation and probing.

After the meeting, Hashirama planned to do his best to be a good host and tried his best to keep the other four Kages in Konoha for a while before leaving. Except for the unyielding Mizukage Hakuren, the Kazekage Retsu, the Tsuchikage Ishigawa and the Raikage Ai all accepted his proposal.

That night, Retsu was invited by Hashirama Senju to go to the Hokage Building to discuss the specific matters of Kamatsuki's trip to the Sand Village.

Knowing how protective Uchiha Madara was of his apprentice control, and how much the Senju brothers valued their niece, Retsu took his deputy Shamon to the appointment with a trepidation. At the destination, in addition to Uchiha Madara and Kamatsuki, the Senju brothers were of course also present, but not only that, there was actually a person who was completely unexpected by Retsu.

From the iconic mask, Reito quickly recognized that this was the boy from the Land of Rain who performed very well in the Chunin Exam, but was also on the assassination list of the Sand Village.

"This is... Hanzo from the Land of Rain? Why is he here?"
