The guards from all forces returned to their original positions, and those who should restrain their Chakra also restrained their own Chakra, pretending that nothing happened just now.
Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Yuhara and Kakashi, then whispered, "Good job."
The performance of these two young people just now was very good. This was not just a matter of winning face for Konoha. In a sense, Yuhara and their actions made Konoha start to dominate the direction of the next meeting.
Yuhara was about to say something modest, but the literary germs all over his body made him blurt out such a sentence, "Hmph, my sword is not bad at all."
"..."
Well, this sentence seems a bit unlucky.
In short, after getting rid of those stubborn temptations, since all parties have agreed to end Ninja World War, the next thing to discuss is the specific withdrawal of troops.
There is no way, who let Third Tsuchikage mess up his "wrestling a cup as a sign"?
Now that all parties have made up their minds to end the war, there is no need to talk about specific matters with falsehoods and truths, just do what is true, so the village chiefs quickly agreed on the withdrawal of troops.
Just an hour later, all the details of the discussion had been finalized. Samurai Atsumori began to write a six-part document Isshiki on the spot, and then the village chiefs of each village signed their names one after another after reading it carefully.
Next, as long as the leaders of each country sign and seal it, then this agreement will officially take effect... Yes, this is naturally the agreement to end the war. Probably no one could have imagined in advance that the long-lasting Ninja World War would actually come to an end in such a relatively peaceful and simple way.
Five Kage Summit is the ultimate conference that determines the world situation. It should be said that the speed of negotiations between the parties is very fast. It can be declared a successful conclusion in just one day... This speed is determined by the special nature of the ninja profession. If you stay overnight at Land of Iron and then have to talk for ten days and a half, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents in the middle.
Once someone is really planning to carry out an assassination, the matter will be complicated, so the villages cannot give potential opponents such opportunities... No matter how big the matter is, it must be discussed as soon as possible within one day, and then the shadows must leave Land of Iron before night.
Now that everyone has signed the agreement, theoretically they can leave on the spot. This group of people is not here to communicate with each other. However, such a large meeting cannot always end as soon as it is over. There must be a smooth process.
So Third Hokage's next topic is just right.
"It's rare for all parties to come together. Now that Ninja World War is about to end, I think we need to talk about the issue of post-war order. The war has brought about all kinds of problems and reflections. Even old guys like me should learn to grow up. At least we should try our best to ensure that this kind of war will not happen easily in the future..."
"Third Hokage, do you have anything to say? There's no need to hold back." Third Tsuchikage said. After talking about the most important things, his attitude changed a lot, at least he was not as aggressive as before.
In fact, Tsuchikage was in a relatively low mood at this time. On the one hand, he was glad that Ninja World War was really over, but on the other hand, he felt a little disappointed.
"I have a few suggestions that I hope everyone can refer to.
One is that after peace is restored, the problem of rebels and ninjas in each village may increase within a few years. I hope that we can notify each other of the list of rebels and at the same time give a certain legitimacy to eradicate the rebels, and Five Great Shinobi Villages cannot accept the surrender of rebels from other villages... This can avoid friction between villages to a certain extent." Third Hokage said first.
Within a few years after the war ended, some rebellious ninja problems would indeed occur in each village, and Shinobi World would even usher in a small peak of rebellious ninjas. This is because not everyone can adapt to the post-war situation so quickly. There are many ninjas who physically leave the battlefield but remain mentally on the battlefield, and they are prone to causing some problems.
Third Hokage proposed to exchange the list of rebel ninjas, mainly to serve as a warning. In most cases, the rebel ninjas in each village still have to be dealt with by themselves. However, if the ninjas from other villages successfully eliminated the rebel ninjas from another village, Third Hokage hopes that each village can recognize this behavior.
Of course, this rule only applies to most situations. If any high-end talent defectes from one village to another, then this traitorous ninja will definitely be hidden.
"Agree."
This suggestion is beneficial to all villages, so no one will object. Of course, what Third Hokage said here is just a simple intention. As for how to implement it, each village will have to discuss it in detail.
"The second is to restore the formal communication channels between Five Great Shinobi Villages and ensure the smooth flow of backup communication channels... After peace, timely communication between villages is very important." After the first suggestion was recognized, Third Hokage said this again.
Maintaining communication is to avoid conflicts between villages due to minor conflicts. In addition to keeping direct communication channels open, the villages must also ensure that the contact through Land of Iron can be communicated to all parties in a timely and accurate manner.
There is no problem with this at all, and all the actors nodded in approval. After the war, at least during the period just after the war, the diplomatic principle of the major countries must be to use words but not hands, so communication is crucial.
Third Hokage knows that the two points just mentioned can be recognized by all parties, but the next thing will be a headache.
"The sacrifice of too young people is unbearable. Although the war is very cruel, some bad habits passed down since the Warring States Period are not advisable. We at Konoha hope that in the future we can prevent ninjas under the age of fourteen from participating in missions that may cause confrontation between ninjas. Even if there is another small-scale conflict, we also hope that we will not see ninjas under the age of fourteen on the battlefield again... What do you think?"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone fell into silence.
No matter whether it is the young Kage who is sharp-edged or the old Kage who has experienced the war, they are not surprised that ninjas under the age of middle school students died on the battlefield. No one thinks that Third Hokage's attitude is any kind of goodwill towards young people. They will only regard this statement as the cowardice of the elderly... Third Hokage is old, so he will consider this kind of problem.
When it comes to forging ahead, one should not be afraid of life or death, regardless of age or age. This is how a ninja should be.
Third Hokage's proposal can be described as very cautious. He only said that ninjas under the age of fourteen should not go to the battlefield. He did not say that he was sixteen, let alone eighteen. However...
No one recognized him.
What does a victim of twelve or thirteen years old count? Hashirama Senju was seven years old when he was beaten to death by five Uchiha on the battlefield. On the other hand, Madara Uchiha originally had five younger brothers, but only one survived to adulthood. But later, even Madara Uchiha himself was beaten into a stinky younger brother.
Just before Fourth Raikage denied the export, Third Tsuchikage once again said, "We Iwagakure agree in principle with this approach. No one wants to see the sacrifice of young people. In response to Lord Hokage's proposal, Iwagakure is willing to sign a memorandum with Konoha so that we can jointly restrain those unreasonable bad habits."
Third Tsuchikage is an old fox after all, and of course he is responsible for seizing the moral high ground. However, does the "memorandum" have any binding force?
What does "agree in principle" mean?
It means that we agree, but we don't care and probably won't implement it.
Well, this is actually a positive attitude. Third Tsuchikage gives Third Hokage a face, but does he actually agree with this proposal?
Seeing what Tsuchikage said, Raikage immediately reacted, "Kumogakure also agrees with this."
So Chiyo and Mizukage also nodded.
Is that really the case? Third Hokage shook his head secretly. In fact, the reactions of the villages were within his expectations, but no matter what, this matter still received positive feedback. No matter how sincere they were, the opinions Hokage received were all "approval," right?
But what next?
Third Hokage sighed, and then said, "Since Ninja World War, the number of ninjas in each village has seriously expanded. The maximum strength of some villages has even reached more than 30,000 people. This is obviously unreasonable. For the continued peace of Shinobi World, we hope that all parties can gradually reduce the number of ninjas in the future to maintain it at around 15,000 people..."
Before Third Hokage finished speaking, Fourth Raikage stood up first, "The peace agreement has been signed, and Five Kage Summit has also ended perfectly. As for the few things Third Hokage will talk about later, we can discuss them in detail later... I think we can leave."
The things he said that could be discussed in the future definitely did not include disarmament. Don't even talk about it. People don't even want to hear these words.
When Fourth Raikage left the stage brazenly, Third Tsuchikage also put his bamboo hat back on his head. He said, "Lord Hokage, Konoha's policies are Konoha's own business, but Konoha has no control over Iwagakure's policies."
After saying this, he stood up with some difficulty and left the venue as well.
If what Konoha is saying is that they want to expand the size of the ninja village after the war, then everyone present will jump at it. And what if Konoha wants to reduce the number of ninjas?
Haha, whoever likes to cut it, I won't cut it anyway.
Subsequently, Sunagakure and Kirigakure also withdrew, which proved that even they did not want to disarm. The previous guess on Konoha's side was wrong. They thought these two weaker villages would support such a decision.
So in the blink of an eye, only Konoha was left in the venue.
Third Hokage silently took out his pipe and lit the tobacco leaves in it.
Did Five Kage Summit succeed?
It's not considered a success, it just didn't fail.
War and peace alternate, and the world has just entered a new cycle. Other than that, nothing has changed.
