So he hadn't used the most generous terms after all!
Honestly...
This child was truly meticulous about such things! Still, the compensation he had secured through that meticulousness had greatly replenished their finances. It was enough to completely cover the shortfall in the Expansion Plan and even repair necessary facilities in several village departments. It would also be crucial to the postwar economic recovery.
Sometimes, he truly had to admire how precisely this child grasped the timing.
Slowly setting down the peace terms signed by the Iwa ambassador, Minato Namikaze smiled in relief, yet inwardly sighed with emotion.
He had thought Chiba would use the third agreement—the most generous one—which he had used during the talks with the Iwa ambassador. Yet unexpectedly, Chiba had secretly drafted a compensation agreement that was not overly harsh, but certainly not generous either—one that was even a little excessive. Compared to the second agreement he had previously presented to the Iwa ambassador, it reduced the compensation amount by roughly a third. As for Forbidden Jutsu and Secret Techniques, Iwa would provide two Forbidden Jutsu, two Secret Techniques, and ten of Iwa's unique elemental ninjutsu—ten Earth Style Jutsu. Compared to the second agreement, the number of elemental ninjutsu had been cut considerably.
