Old Man! Are You Dreaming? If You Want War, Just Say So!
"Konoha ninjas, what technique did you use on Killer B Bee?!"
After focusing on treating Killer B for a while, Hii looked up at Hagoromo with an angry expression and shouted loudly.
Hagoromo glanced at the Kumogakure ninja but ignored him completely.
Kakashi watched for a while before coming to Hagoromo's side and quietly asking:
What's going on?
"Because of their techniques, the Kumogakure isn't in a hurry yet, so we don't need to worry about them."
Hagoromo rubbed her chin and responded in a low voice.
Kakashi understood that once the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki awakened, it would certainly not be good for Konoha, which was still in heated negotiations.
Thinking of this, Kakashi stopped talking and instead took out a book from his ninja tool bag to read.
Only...
Kakashi stared at Hagoromo with his dead fish eyes wide open, utterly speechless.
She saw Hagoromo standing on tiptoe, looking at her sideways.
Hagoromo:─━ _ ─━✧
"What is it?" Kakashi asked, taking a deep breath.
"I have a question," Hagoromo asked, touching her nose and looking away.
"Why are you still reading erotic novels when a stunningly beautiful woman from the Hidden Kumogakure is standing right in front of you?"
Kakashi:...
He first turned to look at Samui, who was waiting for the Raikage's response, then turned to look at Hagoromo had a curious expression on her face.
"That's not my style..." Kakashi said, pretending to be calm as he put away the Icha Icha Paradise.
Hagoromo's lips twitched; this statement was utterly unbelievable.
"Lord Samui, Raikage's message!"
The communications ninja standing nearby, seeing the communication finally connected, hurriedly handed it to Samui.
Samui quickly took it and began to report.
Her gaze kept Hagoromo, but Hagoromo seemed completely unconcerned.
It's just a glance; it won't cost you anything.
On the contrary, Hilary, who was treating Killer B, was already covered in sweat.
There was nothing he could do; if Hagoromo ignored him, he couldn't really cause a scene.
Do you really think the Konoha Ninja standing next to you are just sitting around doing nothing?
He could only look anxiously at Samui, who was still on the phone, and pray that the Fourth Raikage had some solution.
Otherwise, Killer B Bee will really die!
"Are we really not going to pay attention to this?"
Kakashi, with his dead fish eyes, asked Hagoromo.
After all, seeing Killer B's dark face gradually turn pale, Kakashi was genuinely worried that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki would die here.
"Ah, don't worry, he won't die anytime soon, and don't underestimate the vitality of Jinchūriki."
Hagoromo waved her hand and said that Killer B was just suffering from a bit of blood loss.
The Eight-Tails life force was being maintained within him.
Moreover, based on his understanding of his master, that old fox...
The more critical the situation of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the more advantageous his position will be in negotiations with Kumogakure.
After all, he had just mentioned it to the old man on the phone.
He will try his best to stall for time; the old man just needs to stick to his demands.
Seeing that Hagoromo was so confident, Kakashi said no more.
After the last Jonin test, he knew that Hagoromo in front of him might look kind, but he was definitely a dark character underneath.
--
Kumogakure.
Fourth Raikage A, listened to Samui's account, veins bulged on his forehead.
He really wished he could rush to Moon Wheel Gorge right now and give Yu Yi, who had Hagoromo his younger brother unconscious, a good beating.
"I see."
The Fourth Raikage A, put down the communication and took a deep breath.
Mabui- i stepped lightly behind him and said, "Lord Raikage, communication with Konoha has been established."
The Fourth Raikage turned and walked towards the control panel, where he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi on the screen, smoking a pipe.
He roared, "Hokage! Your people have injured my Kumogakure ninja! Do you want to start a war?!"
On the other end of the screen, Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep drag on his pipe, sparks flickering on and off.
After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly:
"If the Raikage doesn't want to talk, then so be it."
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out to hang up the call.
"Etc!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi smirked. There was no need to shout like he did with someone who seemed like a brute.
Let that person worry about it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi his eyes, his gaze sharp, and said, "Raikage, politics is not child's play."
"The first to conduct the exercise were your Kumogakure, and it was also your Kumogakure ninjas who intruded into our Konoha borders."
"Do you really think I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, am too old? Or are you Kumogakure ready for war?!"
Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi like this, the Fourth Raikage A, had his pupils contract.
Bang--
A dull thud sounded as the Fourth Raikage A, crushed the edge of the control panel.
After a long silence, the Fourth Raikage A, lowered his voice and slowly spoke:
"Name your terms, but don't delude yourself into thinking that Kumogakure will bow down to Konoha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the conditions that Shikaku had already prepared and slowly said:
"It's very simple. The military expenses for this Konoha exercise will be borne by Kumogakure, who will pay Konoha 8 billion ryo in reparations."
"The Land of Land of Hot Water has also sent us a notice, demanding that Kumogakure pay 1 billion ryo in compensation."
"Furthermore, a treaty must be signed stipulating that the Kumogakure shall not cross the strait again."
Hehe--
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's conditions, the Fourth Raikage A, burst into laughter, then slammed his fist on the table and spat out:
"Old man! Are you dreaming?! If you want war, just say so!"
The military exercise cost 8 billion taels? Is that even human?
8 billion taels is more than enough for Kumogakure to buy 10 million Explosive Tags!
Moreover, this price is not based on wholesale prices; even a medium-sized war might not require this many!
Hiruzen Sarutobi his eyes, the smoke from his pipe obscuring his face.
The initiative is in Konoha's hands; the Fourth Raikage's stance is merely an attempt to bargain.
Without giving it any further attention, Hiruzen Sarutobi hung up the call.
Since there's no rush, let the wind blow a little longer.
Turning to Shikaku behind him, he said, "Shikaku, tell Kakashi and the others that they can put some pressure on them."
"Yes, Lord Hiruzen!"
"Damn Konoha Monkeys! They hung up on me!" The Fourth Raikage A, slammed his fist into the control panel.
Billions of taels of silver are nothing to Kumogakure.
However, paying compensation would be a complete insult to Raikage's dignity.
"Lord Raikage, Samui just sent another message saying that Killer B Bee's injuries are beyond Shi's ability to heal."
"That Konoha ninja's methods are rather unusual; if this drags on any longer, Killer B's life might be in danger."
Mabui appeared behind the Fourth Raikage A, and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage A, clenched his fists tightly, his Lightning Release Chakra surging around him.
"Reconnect with Konoha."
After a long while, the Fourth Raikage A, spoke in a hoarse voice.
