Surprisingly, the Fourth Raikage did not get angry upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
After all, recklessness is just an outward appearance, and its use depends on the situation.
If he dared to smash the table now, Hiruzen Sarutobi would dare to turn around and leave.
Then I'll have to swallow my pride and chase after it back.
Moreover, this was an outcome we already knew, after all, the Kumogakure's think tank is no joke.
"Haha, Hokage, this is negotiable. If it's not enough, you can make your demands."
"We in Kumogakure are also worth a look."
Dodai, on the other hand, chuckled and said something, as a veteran official, he was still able to speak up in this situation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, while Shikaku, standing to the side, looked at Dodai.
"We need to see sincerity, after all, this cooperation is the first between Konoha and Kumogakure in many years."
Kumogakure frowned slightly; the Dodai was already offering the biggest concession they could so far.
As for the subsequent matters, they need to be discussed in more detail within the village.
There's no good solution right now.
The Fourth Raikage A, A, tapped the sofa lightly, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him.
If it weren't for the emergence of such a genius in Konoha, he really wouldn't want to form an alliance with Konoha.
Don't say that Hagoromo is currently in his own village; he Omnipotence kill him.
Is someone capable of defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in a direct confrontation someone who can be killed easily?
The Fourth Raikage did have this idea during the incident at Moon Wheel Gorge.
After all, Hagoromo didn't defeat Killer B in a one-on-one fight.
But things are different now. If we don't have the absolute certainty of success, what if we can't kill Hagoromo?
Next, Kumogakure will face Konoha, the war machine.
Konoha Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War left a very deep impression on people.
They almost consecutively defeated several major powers and won, otherwise they wouldn't have earned the title of the number one ninja village.
It's possible that it could land on Konoha's head.
"Hokage." Thinking of this, the Fourth Raikage A, spoke calmly.
The Fourth Raikage A, immediately drew everyone's attention to him when he spoke.
Mabui and Dodai were slightly nervous, fearing that their Raikage might suddenly explode.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others wanted to see what the Fourth Raikage had to say.
"How about we exchange the Heavenly Transfer Technique for it?"
The Fourth Raikage said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Mabui and Dodai looked at the Fourth Raikage in disbelief.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised, as the Heavenly Transfer Technique, a secret technique of the Kumogakure, was not exactly a secret in the Shinobi World.
The reason why Kumogakure) can always be one step ahead in battle is because of this Ninjutsu.
This technique surpasses all existing communication methods; it will be used whenever the Raikage Building has any tactics.
It can deliver orders or other information to any war zone in the first instance.
Don't underestimate this little bit of time.
If used properly, it can definitely produce unexpected results.
Honestly, Hiruzen Sarutobi is smitten.
After all, although Konoha has the Flying Thunder God technique, the requirements for this technique are too high.
To date, only the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha have been able to utilize it perfectly.
The others were the Shadow Guard Unit members from the Fourth, but it required the cooperation of three people.
Moreover, compared to other methods, it's too complicated to operate; spatial talents, Chakra, and perception all need to be perfect.
Compared to the Heavenly Transfer Technique, the Flying Thunder God involving three people seems somewhat unnecessary.
After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique has very high requirements, while the Heavenly Transfer Technique is different.
We'll think about it carefully.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't agree immediately, but that's okay; we can discuss it in detail when we get back.
The Fourth Raikage didn't say much after hearing this; that was the extent of his reaction.
If Konoha still refuses, then so be it.
"No problem, Hokage, you can consider it carefully."
"And regarding this alliance between Kumogakure and Konoha— "
"Our Konoha has always pursued peace, Kumogakure has been able to put aside past conflicts and Konoha an alliance with us."
"That's exactly what we've been pursuing. I'll inform Daming when I get back and spread the word far and wide."
Hiruzen Sarutobi over the words from the Fourth Raikage A, A, and spoke solemnly.
This was also what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted: to clearly inform the Shinobi World that even Kumogakure had reached an agreement with Konoha.
Even if this partnership may break down at any time, let's wait until then.
Konoha would then be able to accomplish more and gain more influence over the Daimyo.
"Hokage was satisfying, Hokage!"
The Fourth Raikage A, couldn't help but curse "old fox," but his face showed an expression of agreement.
The two highest-ranking figures in the Shinobi World sat there smiling, the atmosphere quite harmonious.

"Yo~ yo~ Check it out~ One set of jianbing guozi, please..."
On the road, Killer B Bee was making strange gestures while muttering a rhyme.
Even Kakashi, who usually doesn't care much about what others think, couldn't help but stay away from Killer B, this inexplicable guy.
Ever since he left Kumogakure, this guy has been able to utter a strange phrase or two no matter when or where.
Moreover—if I hadn't witnessed Killer B's terrifying power...
Kakashi glanced at Killer B at the back of the group. Who would have thought that this idiot was actually the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?
"Hey, Hagoromo."
Killer B quickly caught up and spoke to Hagoromo, who was sitting in the back of the carriage.
"Is something the matter?"
Hagoromo opened his eyes and looked at Killer B with a somewhat speechless expression.
"Any other dynamic words? I think you have a real talent for them!"
Killer B gestured as he asked Hagoromo for guidance.
"···No."
At this moment, Hagoromo regretted saying those things in an attempt to silence Killer B for a moment.
Now, Killer B comes to harass him from time to time.
Inside the carriage, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled softly as he heard the voices coming from behind him.
Regardless of whether Konoha and Kumogakure can reach an alliance, at least his disciples now have one or two friends.
Indeed, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's opinion, Hagoromo really has very few friends.
Within the Ninja Academy, aside from Iruka, Hagoromo was almost always alone.
Moreover, during missions, some teammates rarely communicate with each other after returning to the village.
As for Shikaku and the others--
They are older than Hagoromo; in fact, only Kakashi and Guy are not that far apart in age.
Yet, there are still very few who can joke or play around with Hagoromo.
"You jerk~ You idiot~ Don't be so cold~"
"As friends, we should communicate more."
Killer B then leaped up and sat directly next to Hagoromo.
Seeing this, Hagoromo couldn't help but twitch her lips. This guy really has a big heart.
Didn't you see Samui looked nervous?
Kakashi and Shisui, who was inside the car, were already on guard.
