Ten minutes later.
Inside a conference room in the Mizukage Building, Kirigakure.
Two groups were locked in heated negotiations over the "future" of the entire Kirigakure.

they had to put in their very best effort and preserve as much of Kirigakure's interests as possible!
Yes, they had already given up on sending this "great deity" on his way without suffering any losses.
They only hoped their village would have to pay as little as possible.
"Don't worry. I have no plans to do anything to your village."
"I have two conditions. They're both very simple."
"Meet them, and I'll leave
