A few days later, Chiyo brought the ambassador of Land of Wind to the new Konoha camp.
"Let's submit the armistice contract." Chiyo's voice was low and hoarse, and his face was full of pain and helplessness.
Now she has lost all her relatives and is forced to beg for mercy from her mortal enemy.
Chiyo's heart was filled with sorrow and pain. Her husband died early, her son and daughter-in-law died under the knife of Hatake Sakumo, and her younger brother was beheaded by Uchiha Iori.
Even his only grandson disappeared before, and his whereabouts are unknown.
But Sunagakure has no choice now, Kazekage died in battle, Jinchuriki was captured, and the once powerful Sunagakure is now the only one left, a lonely old man.
Now Sunagakure can't even find a ninja who can succeed Kazekage. She is the only high-level consultant still alive.
Chiyo's hand holding the contract trembled slightly, and there were two voices fighting with each other in his mind.
One said, "Destroy as much as you like, you have nothing to lose. Release all the puppets and toxins here, at least you can kill those Chunin."
Another tried his best to stop. "We no longer have the strength to fight. We must be patient. For Sunagakure, we can no longer fight. I have to live until new people grow up."
Making the painful decision to live, Chiyo decided to proceed as planned, and she handed the armistice contract to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru did not accept the armistice contract, but said coldly, "Shouldn't it be a surrender document?"
He looked at Chiyo and asked sharply, his tone full of questioning and dissatisfaction.
Orochimaru also hopes to get a letter of surrender to wash away his stain on the battlefield, although everyone knows that this victory is mainly due to Uchiha Iori.
But as the top commander on the front line, he deserves a share of the credit.
The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Land of Wind left an indelible stain on his resume. The defeat that day not only brought huge losses to the front line, but also severely damaged his prestige on the front line.
Although everyone understood that this failure was not Orochimaru's fault, and no one could have predicted Ketsuryūgan's participation in the war and the exposure of Tsunade's phobia, the failure itself was a mistake.
At the critical moment when Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to abdicate, such a stain greatly affected Orochimaru's Hokage election.
Although Orochimaru is now beginning to hesitate as to which is more important, the dream or Hokage Position, for him Hokage Position is the recognition of teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Oh, we just hope for a ceasefire. Sunagakure Ninja will withdraw from Land of Fire's territory. We will not admit defeat." Chiyo responded stiffly and made a fool of himself.
Orochimaru was so angry that he laughed. At this time, Sunagakure actually wanted to play tricks. He was really not afraid of death.
The Konoha Jonin who were watching took a step forward and glared angrily. In the previous war, countless companions died at the hands of Sunagakure Ninja. Now that Konoha has a huge advantage, they actually don't want to surrender.
At this moment, Daimyo of the Land of Wind's messenger flicked the fan in his hand, interrupted Chiyo's words, and sang a red face.
"Okay, Chiyo, you have indeed lost. Thirty percent of Land of Wind's mission share will be given to Konoha as compensation for defeat. This war is over."
It was as if Sunagakure took the initiative to retreat and gave them the victory that belonged to Konoha, which also made Orochimaru unable to continue to press.
The daimyo don't care about the victory or defeat of the ninjas. Ninjas are just tools to them. Ninja World wars most of the time have nothing to do with the daimyo.
It's just that the ninja villages are competing for resources and task shares, and the daimyo doesn't care about this.
However, the strength of the Ninja Village is also part of the strength of the daimyo.
Even if the big name of Land of Wind is dissatisfied with Sunagakure and plans to cut its funds, he cannot sit back and watch Sunagakure suffer heavy losses.
The power of ninjas is indispensable to the country. Even if they are disappointed and distrustful, the daimyo cannot ban the ninja villages.
Orochimaru frowned slightly, feeling helpless in his heart. He could not directly refute the other party's words.
"I have no right to make a decision," he said slowly, "I have sent a message to Third Hokage, and he will send someone to discuss it."
In desperation, Orochimaru could only temporarily delay time and wait for the village's reply.
"I have sent a message to the daimyo and are waiting for the daimyo's envoy. Before that, our princess Land of Fire, Lady Tsunade, will contact you."
Ninja villages and daimyo belong to two completely different systems. Although the strength of ninjas far exceeds that of daimyo, in terms of status, nobles are the real masters, and ninjas are just tools.
That's just the nobility of a small country. Even if a noble of Five Great Nations has a noble status like Orochimaru, you cannot be rude to him in public.
Of course, there are generally no idiots who would humiliate powerful ninjas in person. Although there are not many, there are some defectors who defected because they killed nobles.
"Is it actually Princess Tsunade? I've admired his name for a long time!" Land of Wind's envoy looked solemn. Bloodline is the core reason for their rule and special status.
As the representative of Daimyo of the Land of Wind, if he does not show respect for his noble bloodline, it will also undermine the rule of the daimyo.
Seeing Tsunade walking in, the Land of Wind messenger stood up and saluted Tsunade.
Tsunade returned the greeting to him and said, "I don't know, what is the noble opinion of His Highness the Daimyo of your country?"
Uchiha Iori followed Tsunade like a guard. He watched the negotiation scene in front of him with interest.
[I have reserved my hand and only killed all the Jonin. I did not go after Chunin. If Sunagakure Ninja is still ignorant, I can only let them understand what the power of God is.]
Iori thought a little coldly, as a ninja who has lived in Konoha for more than ten years, now he really does not have much kindness to share with other ninjas in the ninja village.
[If possible, I don't want to kill the weak. I hope Sunagakure Ninja can be more sensible.]
"The daimyo has decided to order Sunagakure to surrender, reduce the size of Sunagakure's funds, and transfer 30% of Sunagakure's mission share to Konoha. Sunagakure will become Konoha's ally."
"But there is a request. Return One-Tail to Sunagakure and release the Sunagakure prisoners who are still alive."
The messenger of Daimyo of the Land of Wind did not hide anything and directly stated the conditions. Sunagakure lost so miserably this time that there were not many conditions left to pay.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind's expectation for Sunagakure is just to maintain the status of Five Great Shinobi Villages. He no longer has much expectation for the rise of Sunagakure.
"I understand. We have reached a consensus on Sunagakure's surrender. The specific treaty will be discussed by the ninjas."
Tsunade nodded to him and left.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind messenger saluted Tsunade's back, then looked at Chiyo and said, "Let's go back first and wait for their personnel to arrive."
Then he turned to look at Orochimaru: "Wait until someone from among you who can make the decision comes, then send someone to visit me."
He turned on the fan and left while shaking it.
