Compensation Terms: 1. Kumogakure will compensate Konoha with 500 million taels of silver and hand over 20% of the mission's resources.
2. Kumogakure) announced its mistake to the Ninja World and apologized to Konoha).
3. From now on Kumogakure will trade with Konoha, and customs duties will be waived for 5 years.
4...
Each and every one of these clauses was ripping off the Kumogakure, tearing it apart; they were all unequal treaties. But at this moment, the Third Raikage A, couldn't care less about any of that. He picked up a pen, began to write his name, and stamped it with the Raikage's official seal that he always carried with him.
Ironically, the Third Raikage carried an official seal with him in preparation for signing terms after the war, once Konoha was defeated or severely Konoha. But now, the situation has completely reversed.
Uchiha Izuna killed 4,000 of his own ninja troops and robbed nearly 2,000 people without firing a single shot, wiping out all the efforts Kumogakure had made over the years. At this point, Ai was worried that Iwagakure might take advantage of the situation!
However, considering that Uchiha Kō had previously helped Iwagakure out of a predicament, he felt relieved. So, after signing the compensation terms, Izuna gave him a copy, smiling and saying, "Welcome back next time!!"
These words nearly made the Raikage, who had just signed the document, stumble and fall. "Again?" He made up his mind that if anyone ever dared to join him in attacking Konoha, he'd beat them to a pulp!
Five hundred million taels of silver, plus 20% of the mission revenue, and five years of tariffs— the Third Raikage is now on the verge of tears. Heavens, why Kumogakure so plagued by misfortune!
Uchiha Izuna checked the two clauses in his hand three times. After confirming that they were correct, he ordered all the ninjas to make way for Konoha's esteemed VIP Raikage A, A!
The Konoha Ninja suppressed their laughter and made way for him. Did the Third Raikage A, not know that people were mocking him? He knew, but he couldn't say it aloud. That's how it is for a defeated general.
The Kumogakure ninjas followed the Third Raikage A, away dejectedly, while the Konoha Ninja followed behind Izuna, watching the Kumogakure ninjas retreat in defeat, feeling a mix of emotions, both admiration and a sense of the fantastical.
In this battle, none of their 7,000 men died, and they even took more than 4,000 enemies with them. That's a 0 to 4,000 casualty rate?
Uchiha Izuna, however, knew that the key was that the timing, location, and the people were all in his hands. If the Kumogakure did not choose to attack the Thunderfire Gorge, his plan would fail and he would end up fighting the Kumogakure on the plains, resulting in heavy casualties.
It was all a gamble, but luckily, fate was on his side this time!
"Alright, everyone, pack your weapons and prepare to return to the village. I will report on everyone's actions and commend you and your clans!" Uchiha Izuna rarely laughed out loud; his smile was extremely infectious.
Under his influence, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Returning to the village—what a touching phrase! Although they had only been away from home for four days, on the battlefield, they worried about dying every day.
Now, not only have no one died, but 4,000 enemy ninjas have been annihilated. With such a great achievement, they will surely be rewarded upon their return. How could everyone not be happy?
So the entire army prepared for battle. They didn't plan to return to the village through Thunderfire Gorge, as it was considered too unlucky. Instead, they chose to take a detour through the plains, so they could respond promptly should anything happen.
This shows that Izuna's military strategy was very cautious. He would only resort to unconventional or risky tactics if he could ensure his own safety, otherwise he would end up losing more than he gained.
Konoha
When Uchiha Kō returned to the village, Senju Tobirama Uchiha Kō led the villagers to greet him at the gate. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the villagers, Uchiha Kō led his army into the village.
After summarizing what they had gained from the battle, everyone was captivated by the Saiken and their hearts were filled with anticipation. However, Uchiha Kō announced to everyone that he already had a choice for the Six-Tails Saiken, and asked them not to think about it anymore.
This dispelled everyone's idea; otherwise, they were still thinking of pulling Jinchūriki to get their own family to provide a Jinchūriki, thereby elevating the family's status.
Uchiha Kō knew that Tailed Beast, which were similar to nuclear weapons, could only be given to those who were absolutely loyal to him. Otherwise, if a rebellion broke out one day, it would become a disaster for Konoha!
After dealing with the matter, Uchiha Kō carried the unconscious Utakata to the Senju Clan Compound.
Senju Hashirama was unexpectedly at home, which surprised Uchiha Kō. However, Senju Tobirama, who had returned with him, explained, "My brother left a Wood Clone there, and I created the Flying Thunder God on the Wood Clone. If something happens to the Wood Clone and we can't win, I will take my brother to the battlefield to fight personally."
Uchiha Kō nodded, thinking that there probably weren't many people in the world who could defeat Senju Hashirama Wood Clone.
Senju Tobirama was very pleased. Uchiha Kō's attitude towards the other four countries coincided with his own. Moreover, the Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Saiken, and Nine-Tails were all in Konoha. With Konoha in control of these four Tailed Beasts, even if their generation died in the future, Konoha would still be the number one Ninja World!
Oh, right, they probably won't die easily. Uchiha Kō has Immortality, and his cooldown period is every two years. Take it slow, none of these important people will die.
"Xiao, are you sure you want to give the Saiken to Tsunade? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself?" Senju Tobirama, somewhat doubtfully.
Uchiha Kō shook his head. "Whether I have Tailed Beast or not makes no difference. You know my strength now."
That's true. Senju Tobirama no longer hesitated. He thanked Uchiha Kō, "Although you are Tsunade's boyfriend, you were willing to give the Tailed Beast to Tsunade. As an elder, I should thank you."
"Lord Tobirama, you flatter me. Let's go inside. Lord Hashirama, so please cover for me, Lord Tobirama." Uchiha Kō sighed. Hashirama was good Hashirama every way, except that he was too kind-hearted.
Senju Tobirama snorted coldly, "Don't worry, this matter concerns the rise and fall of the Senju Clan. Even if my elder brother disagrees, there's my sister-in-law. She still has the Uzumaki Clan to take care of, so she'll definitely agree."
He glanced at Utakata as if looking at a dead man. "I'm sorry, your death is inevitable. For the sake of the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan, please do not struggle."
If Utakata knew what Senju Tobirama was thinking, he would definitely call him a bastard! Why should he be sacrificed to please you?! He wouldn't accept it!
Does it matter whether he submits or not? It doesn't matter.
Uchiha Kō carried Utakata through the gate, followed closely by Senju Tobirama. Senju Hashirama looked up at the sound, smiled at first, then looked at Utakata and his face fell.
"Six-Tails Jinchuriki! Owl, what's going on with Tobirama! What are you trying to do?" His face darkened, and anger surged.
Hearing the sound, Uzumaki Mito came out of the house. He looked at Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Kō, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki he was carrying, and a guess formed in his mind.
She slowly walked over, her face stern as she looked at Uchiha Kō and Senju Tobirama, but secretly nodded.
Uchiha Kō and Senju Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Uzumaki Mito supported them.
Now, with the four members of the Senju Clan Compound standing there, the atmosphere was eerie. The servants quickly returned to their rooms, closed the doors, and plugged their ears, not wanting to hear anything.
There will be an extra five chapters tonight. Brothers, can you please give me some encouragement to update? Lao Guan Teuchi.
