A Great Nation Should Be Magnanimous

Shazo noticed that the Raikage's momentum was waning.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in movement, Shazo completed a full-force compression of his Elixir Embrace, and then unleashed a powerful attack.

[Nintaijutsu: Hurricane - Summer Eight Strikes]

Shazo's fists Onslaught wildly and haphazardly, the key being that the multiple elemental Chakra they carried formed a raging Hurricane, with gales, Inazuma, torrential rain mixed with hail, relentlessly lashing at the Fourth Raikage.

Under the relentless and intense attacks, the Raikage, suffering from the backlash, could no longer hold on. His Lightning Release Armor shattered under Shazo's fist, turning into countless arcs of electricity.

Shazo's last few punches landed directly on the Fourth Raikage, his fists even piercing into the Raikage's body and breaking half of his ribs.

The Fourth Raikage suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backward to the ground.

"Big Brother!?"

Seeing the Raikage fall, Killer B no longer cared about fighting Shisui Uchiha.

Susanoo having three tentacles severed by Susanoo, Killer B Shisui Uchiha at top speed and rushed between Shazo and the Raikage, using his body to shield his Big Brother.

The Fourth Raikage was badly injured, but Shazo was also in bad shape.

His defense is based on the Baodan Method; his physical strength is not as great Lightning Release Armor.

When Shazo shattered the Lightning Release Armor, he was violently thrown back, shattering the bones in his hands and burning his flesh with the scattered electric arcs.

It even smelled deliciously like roasted meat.

Shazo's hands were severely injured, rendering them practically useless.

He immediately released the limitation on his Self-Healing ability and began to Self-Healing rapidly to prevent his body from mistakenly remembering the state of his hands and being unable to Self-Healing again.

Because of the comminuted fracture of the bones in his hand, Shazo was unable to piece the broken bones back together. He could only rely on his activated high-speed metabolism to crush the broken bones into dust and quickly expel them from his body.

As white dust fell from his hands, new bones regenerated, followed by the slow emergence of red muscles and white fascia.

Shisui Uchiha Body Flicker Technique in front of Shazo, protecting Shazo whose hands were completely crippled.

After spitting out blood, the Fourth Raikage felt much better. He managed to stand up with great difficulty after deactivating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The Raikage looked at Shazo and asked, "You've won. What price do I need to pay to bring the Cloud Ninja back to the Land of Lightning?"

"By the way, what's your name?"

Hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, Killer B secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the Raikage admit defeat, Shisui Uchiha trembled with excitement. If Shazo hadn't kicked him, he would have jumped up and cheered.

Shazo stepped out from behind Shisui, smiling and nodding, "I want money! As long as Kumogakure pays enough, you can take the Cloud Ninja away from the Land of Fire."

The Fourth Raikage was taken aback. "Money?"

Shazo nodded. "Yes, let's consider this as rent for the Cloud Ninja' use of the Land of Land of Fire's land for these 15 days."

"As for my name—I am Konoha Chunin, Shazo."

The Fourth Raikage chuckled wryly, "Heh heh, it's actually Chunin Konoha."

"I'm willing to pay compensation, but what about the fact that you killed so many Cloud Ninja?"

Shazo sneered, "The Cloud Ninja invaded the Land of Fire deserved to die!"

"Fourth Raikage, I am the victor. Only I can set conditions for you, while you only have the right to agree or disagree, not the right to set your own conditions!"

"If you still have any delusions, then I won't take the money, I'll take the lives of eight thousand Cloud Ninja!"

He pointed at Killer B and threatened, "We can make a bet on whether you and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki can return to Kumogakure alive."

The Fourth Raikage glared at him, "You're a complete bastard who doesn't follow the rules!"

Shazo exclaimed in surprise, "Rules? The Fourth Raikage actually said I don't follow the rules?"

"No, I'm the most rule-abiding person!"

"You Cloud Ninja invaded the Land of Fire, so I killed them. If you Cloud Ninja want to go home alive, then pay to ransom them. It's clear, transparent, fair, and just."

"You think this is ten years ago? They entered Konoha to snatch a little girl, got killed, and now they expect Konoha Ninja to pay with their lives?"

Have you figured it out?

"With the cowardly Third Hokage no longer in charge of Konoha, Kumogakure has no chance to gain an advantage!"

Shazo walked up to the Fourth Raikage, extended his hand, which had mostly recovered, pointed it at the Raikage's nose, and loudly proclaimed, "The era when Cloud Ninja could do whatever they wanted simply by issuing threats of war is over!!"

Boom--!

Seeing the Fourth Raikage humiliated, Killer B, enraged, Teuchi Shazo in the chest.

The next moment, wood chips flew everywhere as Shazo used [Substitution Technique] again, turning into a Shattering wooden stake.

Before the wood chips could land, a hand passed through the flying wood chips and pressed against the Fourth Raikage's nose again.

Shazo used even more force this time, pressing Ai's nose so hard that it dented.

At this moment, Killer B had already been Shisui to the ground by Shisui's Susanoo, and two longswords formed from Chakra were stabbing into the Eight-Tails ' body, causing him to scream in agony.

Shazo didn't even glance at Killer B, and said to the Raikage with a smile, "Fourth Raikage, you Cloud Ninja have pretty bad tempers, don't you?"

"You should know my strength enough. What are the Cloud Jonin Kumogakure to my Wood Release? Twisting their bodies is as easy as snapping a chick's neck."

"I've killed about a tenth of the Cloud Ninja now. Do I need to kill another tenth before you can calm down?"

With each word Shazo spoke, he forcefully poked the Fourth Raikage's nose.

The extreme humiliation enraged Raikage to the point of rage. His eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. Blood was still spurting from the previous wound.

However, the Fourth Raikage was not as reckless as he appeared. For the sake of Kumogakure's interests, he could even tolerate the murder of his father by Iwagakure, let alone his own reputation.

Considering the lives of over eight thousand Cloud Ninja, the Raikage gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger. He even pulled back Killer B, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, "No need, I agree to your conditions."

Shazo's murderous aura vanished instantly, replaced by a "sincere" smile as he praised, "Good, a wise man knows when to yield. The Fourth Raikage's ability to bend and stretch is truly worthy of being called a hero of our time."

"I'm not some vicious devil. The Cloud Ninja have stayed in the Land of Fire for so long, so I'll compensate each of them with 1 million ryo."

"Well, I'll be merciful and let the Cloud Ninja I killed today go; they've already paid for Konoha's life with their sacrifice."

"The Land of Fire is, after all, a great nation, and great nations naturally possess magnanimity and a tolerant spirit."

Fourth Raikage: "I beep beep-beep beep--you!"

No matter how angry he was, the Fourth Raikage agreed to the conditions proposed by Shazo.

Thus, the Peace Pact between Konoha and Kumogakure was established.
