After hearing Dodai's analysis, the senior officials in the tent calmed down and began to think it over. A took over with a composed expression. "Yeah! This is indeed a little strange. According to the treaty, Konoha may obtain part of the Land of Lightning's territory and a great deal of wealth, but compared to the entire Land of Lightning, that should be nothing, right?"
"If we analyze this through elimination, we can figure out Skywalker's objective!" Dodai continued, "What would happen if Skywalker did not negotiate with us, but instead wanted to wipe us out?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Killer B spoke up then. "We wouldn't survive anyway. We'd definitely keep fighting Konoha to the death. With the civilians supporting us too, we'd surely cause Konoha enormous trouble! Especially with Big Brother's and my strength—if we really let loose, the destruction would be even greater!"
"Well said!" Dodai nodded approvingly. "That is the fundamental reason the major shinobi villages have never been destroyed: shinobi are simply too destructive, especially when they have civilian support! Even if only a small number of Kage-level fighters remain, they can still pose an immense threat to Konoha, just like Uchiha Madara, who is wanted throughout the Shinobi World. Besides, Skywalker previously surrounded you with two hundred thousand troops and still failed to keep you there, so he would not dare drive us into a corner!

Even the already-defeated Land of Wind would be no exception! Last time, we concluded that Konoha's forces were spread too thin, leaving its southwest extremely vulnerable. If all the nations truly counterattacked, Konoha might
