Two days later, after dozens of hours of wrangling, this super long brawl finally came to an end.

Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting on the chair, handed over a document that had been prepared with a smile on his face.

"Hmph."

The leader of Sunagakure, Masha, snorted coldly, picked up the document and pen, and then signed his name without any pressure.

Why so straightforward? Naturally, it was because he saw Third Kazekage last night.

I saw Third Kazekage, who had not eaten for many days and was so hungry that he almost lost his human form, grabbed his hand and said urgently, "Sister, please go forward boldly, don't look back."

emmmm, that's what it means anyway, Third Kazekage really can't stand it any longer. If this continues, he will become the first Kage to be starved to death. In addition, Interrogation Squad's ninjas torture him every day. This kind of life is really not something that people can live with.

As for so much ransom?

Go out first and talk about it later! As long as you are here and relying on Gold Dust Technique's skills, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pay it back in the future?

And now Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village are still at war. As long as Third Kazekage goes back to support Third Tsuchikage, he can always let the other party help him pass on some losses.

But if it continues like this, Sunagakure will only suffer more and more losses in the end.

So after thinking about it for a while, Third Kazekage didn't even bargain, and just asked Masha to sign for him.

Now that someone has endorsed him, Masha's legs are no longer numb and his waist is no longer painful. He quickly contacted Third Hokage to sign the agreement.

With the signature of Masha, it announced the end of the war between Konoha and Sunagakure. At the same time, Uchiha Chen, standing at the corner, also heard a long-lost sound:

"Congratulations to the host for helping Konoha win Second Ninja War's victory..."

Uchiha Chen showed a kind smile like an old father.

But at this moment, Masha's high-pitched words from behind interrupted his thoughts, "Where are our Kazekage and Elder Chiyo?"

"Don't worry, you will meet soon."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled like a monkey. After beckoning his apprentice Orochimaru, he whispered to him, "Go and bring out Kazekage and Chiyo among Konoha Prison."

"Yes." Orochimaru Elder Council and Sunagakure didn't even look at Konoha. After responding Sarutobi Hiruzen, they walked to the door of the venue.

Masha rejected Third Hokage's invitation to take them to "visit" the current Konoha.

After all, coming here as a defeated country, isn't it the same as parading in the streets and slapping yourself in the face?

He would only agree to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request unless his Masha brain was in trouble.

The safest way now is to wait at the venue for Hokage's apprentice to bring Kazekage and Chiyo.

He finally exchanged his exhausted resources for Hidden Sand Village's two treasures. Now, he doesn't want to stay in Konoha Village for one more second. He just wants to return to his village as soon as possible.

About twenty minutes have passed. During this time, Third Hokage has leisurely made himself two cups of tea.

Konoha's Elder Council also looked a lot more relaxed. Although the compensation will not all fall into their pockets, since Konoha is a vested interest, considering their position, they will definitely be able to get a lot of money from it.

Since there are benefits, why do you have to put on a bad face, as if Hokage owes them money?

After a while, Orochimaru opened the door and walked in.

"Kazekage and Chiyo have been delivered to Konoha Ninja waiting outside the venue."

"Well done." Third Hokage picked up the cup and drank the last bit of tea in one gulp.

"Then Masha, according to our agreement, Konoha's ninja troops will leave Konoha with you, and will leave after watching you leave the border of Land of Fire.

Don't know if there is any other advice? "

"Hmph, let's go. I hope Lord Hokage won't be overwhelmed by the ransom and resources."

After saying these harsh words, Masha with a gloomy face left the venue and joined the so-called Konoha escort team.

"Okay, okay, let's all leave." Third Hokage clapped his hands happily and said to the ninjas present and Anbu who was watching outside the window.

Orochimaru, who was most concerned about the experiment, first nodded towards Third Hokage and walked out of the center of the venue first, followed by Uchiha Chen and Konoha's White Fang and Jiraiya who were standing on the other side.

Hokage and Elder Council, on the other hand, sat in perfect harmony without moving.

Now that the negotiations with outsiders are over, the next thing we need to face is internal strife and profit distribution. As you can imagine, this will be another protracted battle.

But at this time, it is no longer suitable for "low-level ninjas" like Uchiha Chen and the others to listen.

Uchiha Chen walked out of the venue, feeling the sunshine coming from the venue, and then reached out to cover his eyes.

As far as I could see, everyone was smiling and looking happy.

But he sighed.

Before, he didn't understand why Third Great Ninja War started in just a few years after Second Great Ninja War.

Now I finally understand.

Without him, the victorious country demanded too much, almost driving the defeated country to death.

Sunagakure seems to be able to pass on a wave of losses to Hidden Stone Village, but in fact, Iwagakure is also a defeated country to Konoha. Does it mean that its face is whiter than others and does not need to be blackmailed?

Doesn't exist.

In the end, Sunagakure could only find out in despair that with the current unequal treaty, they could not repay it at all and would only owe more and more.

But no one is aware of this yet, or Third Hokage and they have this intention in mind, trying to economically curb the development of Hidden Sand Village.

As Danzo and others even directly declared, "Search Sunagakure's pockets to find the money!"

But Uchiha Chen understands: The document drafted by Konoha this time will pave the way for the war a few years later.

When the village imposes such conditions on Sunagakure, it can only lead to Third Kazekage either not abiding by the treaty or starting a war!

Just as First World War and Allied Powers exploited Germany excessively in their previous lives, they have already laid the groundwork for Second Great Ninja War.

Similarly, this time it is just a replica of Treaty of Versailles.

So how many years can this treaty last?

In the comics, peace only lasted for three or four years before Third Great Ninja War broke out again.

Although the instigation of the butterfly Uchiha Chen caused Second Great Ninja War to end early, the time it can buy is probably only a drop in the bucket.

This is a general trend that cannot be changed by the will of others, unless Uchiha Chen can persuade Third Hokage to take less, or destroy Hidden Sand Village now.

But is this possible?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Chen, who was originally happy because of the points, also became bored.

"Speaking of which, all the escort troops this time are Chen's family."

Looking at a group of Gunbai servers huddled together with several ninjas from Sunagakure, Hatake Sakumo said this casually.

However, since his political acumen was not keen enough, he did not have any overtones and was just chatting casually.

Uchiha Chen nodded, but sighed in his heart, wondering how many of these people would come back alive.

"By the way, how did the blind date go yesterday, senior?"

"Don't mention it." Sakumo pouted. "It's like a fan meeting, noisy."

Uchiha Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "After all, it's a blind date for Daimyo Dingding's Konoha's White Fang. You must have a lot of little fans, and the senior is so handsome... I'm sure you will be spoiled for choice."

Hey, Sakumo-senpai, why are you blushing? Isn't it because you are inexperienced? By the way, how long have you been single? "

Sakumo curled his lips and said, "Don't you know, it's impolite to ask someone's age casually like this."
