When the two Raikage guards, hope and Samui, who were in the back position, heard Ai's words, they both breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they were still a little worried that their Lord Raikage would be stimulated by the Lord Fourth Tsuchikage on the opposite side, and then they forgot the previously discussed words and went straight to Iwagakure, which would be very detrimental to their Kumogakure!
This time Five Kage Summit must let them Kumogakure stand on the moral high ground. Only by doing this can they win over other Three Great Shinobi Villages to their side as much as possible!
If they want to regain what they have lost, Three Great Shinobi Villages's support is indispensable, and it must be the kind of support that they can give their all. Even though they know that it is difficult to do this, as long as there is a slight possibility, they must fight for it.
This sounds reasonable at least on the surface.
Sarutobi Hiruzen The moment he heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Rasa, Terumi Mei, and everyone else present also had expressions on their faces. These 'outsiders' really didn't expect that Raikage, who had always been rough and rude, could actually grasp a certain basis and say such 'sane' words.
These people also subconsciously glanced at Fourth Raikage twice, and then shifted their eyes to Shōji on the other side in the next second.
"Ahem, what Lord Raikage said makes sense. A ninja accepts a task and then performs the task according to the employer's requirements. This is originally the bounden duty of the ninja and the ninja village. Although it did cause some minor misunderstandings, for the sake of each other Since they are all at fault, I think we should cancel them out and return everything to the way it was before the war. I think it will be the best result for Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and the entire Shinobi World!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the left side of Fourth Raikage and could be said to be sitting face to face with Shōji, also coughed lightly and deliberately said in a very relaxed tone.
"Yes, restoring everything to pre-war is a responsible move for the entire Shinobi World. I think Lord Raikage and Tsuchikage will not refuse, right?"
Rasa, who was sitting on the side of Shōji, also had a meaningful smile at this moment. He first glanced at Ai, then turned his attention to Shōji, and said in a calm tone.
These are the several filmmakers who spoke one after another.
When Terumi Mei heard these words, he suddenly frowned slightly, but Terumi Mei still chose to remain silent. Speaking at this time was not a rational word. Helping Kumogakure was one thing, but the measurement and control was another matter.
As long as Iwagakure is not determined to further damage or even destroy Kumogakure, Terumi Mei will basically not say anything.
There is no need for them Kirigakure to irritate Iwagakure for the other interests of Kumogakure, especially the terrifying Lord Fourth Tsuchikage Uchiha Shōji. Terumi Mei would only do that if his brain was crazy!
As for Shōji, when he heard the words of Ai, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Rasa, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was an obvious sarcastic look on his face, and a cold light appeared in his pupils, Shōji said in a cold tone, "Misunderstanding? Your Excellency Hokage really knows how to choose words. Is it because of your age? A war involving thousands of people and even using Tailed Beast can be distinguished by a mere misunderstanding. Will you explain it? Then Tsuchikage can lead our Tailed Beast in Iwagakure to misunderstand it! Also, am I okay with Lord Raikage's remarks? Do you think you have no intention of ending the war? Then, on behalf of Iwagakure, I can fulfill your wishes and let this war last until you are satisfied! But by then, you will not have a second chance, Lord Raikage!"
"You can choose when to start the war, but when it ends, it is not your decision. By then, I'm afraid whether Kumogakure is still there or not is a question!"
A low tone.
With more and more profound words.
Shōji also had a strong evil spirit emerging between his brows.
At the moment when these words fell, a terrifying aura could be felt here. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ai's faces became very ugly, and Rasa and Terumi Mei's pupils also shrank suddenly!
The guards of each shadow in the back also became more tense at this moment!
After all, no matter how you look at this scene, it looks like someone could take action at any time.
Although Mifune, who was sitting a little further away, was frowning and his whole body was tense, he still chose to remain silent and wait. Again, this Five Kage Summit was an unprecedented tense meeting!
Just one person, Uchiha Shōji, would bring about extremely different changes in the situation than in the past. Unless it was absolutely necessary, there would be ten thousand Mifune who would not be able to say anything!
"Are you threatening me!? Tsuchikage!?"
Fourth Raikage A's breathing had obviously become very heavy, and the extremely obvious blood red color could be seen in the white pupils. Those words were spoken before Sarutobi Hiruzen once again.
At this moment, Ai's whole body was filled with an extremely cold and terrifying aura.
"Threat? Haha, I am just stating a fact. However, Raikage, if you think so, it is not impossible. This Tsuchikage is threatening you, so what can you do!?"
Shōji leaned forward slightly, and the ridicule and disdain on his face was really vivid at this moment!
"Hundan! Uchiha Shōji, you guy!"
These words once again deeply stimulated Fourth Raikage's extremely proud self-esteem.
The aura of Fourth Raikage A also became more chaotic and dangerous.
It seemed like he could take action at any time.
'well... '
While Mifune on the side sighed, he still had no choice but to remain silent. He immediately stood up and interrupted Fourth Raikage's subsequent words and said, "Lord Raikage, please calm down, Tsuchikage Sir, please also pay attention to your wording. This is the sacred Five Kage Summit. Your Excellencies are here to solve the problem through negotiation and to maintain the peace of the entire Shinobi World. Please remain rational and calm during the negotiation!"
It must be said that it really takes some courage for Mifune to stand up at this moment. Not everyone has the courage to speak out when facing Five Kage, let alone the furious Raikage, and the now notorious Uchiha Shōji in Shinobi World.
Mifune is indeed the one who has gone through many great storms and can now become Land of Iron, or even the recognized leader among Shinobi World warriors.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Terumi Mei also felt slightly relieved after Mifune spoke, just as Mifune said.
The purpose of convening Five Kage Summit is to resolve the problem peacefully through negotiation without further war!
If Shōji and Ai had a direct breakdown here, or even had a fight, wouldn't their position become even more embarrassing?
Not helping Raikage would definitely not work, which would mean watching Fourth Raikage being beaten to death by Shōji. Helping would mean they directly declare war on Iwagakure. To be honest, this is definitely not a good choice!
Unless they are really capable enough to leave Uchiha Shōji here!
It is indeed okay to take some risks.
However, is this possible??
Sarutobi Hiruzen I don't have much confidence in my heart. There is still a chance of defeat, but it is very easy for others to run away, right?
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the one who least wants to see the situation collapse. Therefore, even if Shōji has shown Konohagakure's contempt and provocation in his words just now, it has also stimulated him, Third Hokage.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen still endured it.
At least in terms of temper control, this Third Hokage can indeed be regarded as well-trained.
"Yes, what Mr. Mifune said makes sense. Please, Mr. Lord Raikage and Mr. Tsuchikage, please control your temper a little. We are here to discuss how to solve the problem, not to further provoke conflicts. Mr. Tsuchikage, please also pay attention to the necessary etiquette issues!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also followed Mifune's words.
At the end, I clicked on Shōji, neither lightly nor seriously.
"Haha, of course I agree with the views of Mr. Mifune and Mr. Hokage. If it were not to solve the problem, I would not be here. Don't you want Shinobi World Can peace come? Then we Iwagakure can follow the good path, but there is a prerequisite that we must receive corresponding compensation for the unfair treatment we have suffered. If this cannot be resolved, then everything will be out of the question. I still say the same thing, Kumogakure must pay the price for his actions. Of course, you don't need to consider other issues. I am here today, which is the biggest reason and confidence. You are not children anymore. You shouldn't have such naive ideas, right? I think Lord Raikage should have a deep understanding of this, right? After all, haven't we just had a friendly conversation with Konohagakure in the past two or three years?"
Shōji said coldly with an expressionless face.
Although I don't really care about the outcome of Five Kage Summit's negotiation. Anyway, it's pretty close and there won't be any big surprises, but this doesn't mean that Shōji will let other Four Great Shinobi Villages, especially Fourth Raikage, jump up and down!
The attitude that should be expressed must be expressed!
What's mine is what's mine!
What I want, you must give!
Unless you are willing to continue fighting, then we will definitely accompany you to the end!
This is the attitude Shōji wants to show!
Many times, if you take a step back, it will only make the opponent push further. You cannot do this when you are at a disadvantage, not to mention that your own Ninja Village still has an absolute advantage. At this moment, Shōji will only be defeated by Hashirama Senju or Uzumaki Naruto.
Otherwise, it is 10,000% impossible to talk about ridiculous mutual understanding and peace with these people. That is something that only Erbi will do!
National interests always come first!
Because that means you are safeguarding the highest interests of the people!
This is what a country leader should do.
Shōji also realized that his opening words seemed a little soft, which probably gave the opponent unnecessary illusions, which led to the unfolding of the following. Now Shōji is undoubtedly telling the four shadows, especially Fourth Raikage, that the blame for this war is yours, Kumogakure!
And don't talk about other things that are there or not!
Regardless of the initial move or the bloody unfolding before them, the most important thing is that the disparity in strength between them is the greatest confidence.
If you are willing to come to peace talks, you are already giving face. Don't be shameless!
It can be said that Shōji's words also came from Chi Guoguo's similar meaning. This made Fourth Raikage, who had finally suppressed his anger in the opposite position, look away, and the anger in his heart was rising!
But he sadly discovered that the opposite party did indeed say that it was the common sense and truth of Shinobi World. Not to mention that in this incident, his own side was the undoubted initiator of the war. Even if he took a step back, so what if he took the initiative to attack Iwagakure!?
The world of ninja.
Power is everything!
The winner is qualified to explain everything, and whatever the loser says is meaningless!
And this point, every ninja village should have experienced this firsthand. Not to mention, the incident mentioned in Shōji's words more than two years ago between Kumogakure and Konoha about Hinata Hyuga's abduction and the death of the deputy leader Kumo Ninja forcibly lifted this fig leaf away!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression also became a little gloomy. The pair of Byakugan in Fourth Raikage's pupils were already brightly reflected in the eyes of everyone present. Not to mention Terumi Mei, even if Five Kage Summit had made up his mind this time must stand on the same line as Konohagakure, and Rasa, who helped Kumogakure, could not help but look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ai at this moment, and something strange appeared in his heart.
In fact, Konohagakure has done a lot of sexy things over the years.
Especially in foreign policy, it becomes weaker every time.
Don't look at the previous war between Iwagakure Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja. After their defeat, Sunagakure accepted various conditions of exploitation from Iwagakure, which made Rasa furious. But rationally, Rasa felt that this was a normal operation!
Including this time, after Iwagakure defeated Kumogakure, he had to propose armistice conditions. In Rasa's view, this was in line with Shinobi World's rules.
Winning a war without making any demands and letting the loser off lightly?
Even if he is not worse than a fool!
After all, the fool knows that others are bullying him and he wants to fight back!
That is to say, Sunagakure has been the loser in many wars. If they are allowed to be the winner, Rasa will definitely exploit the loser very fiercely!
It can be said.
If you win without asking for conditions, you will be weak to the outside world even when you are justified and strong, and you will choose to give in on many things. Konohagakure is the only one in the entire Shinobi World!
And all these operations were done by one person, that is Sarutobi Hiruzen, Third Hokage.
This is also the biggest reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen has changed from the Shinobi Hero back then to the existence that every major ninja village in Shinobi World looks down upon today!
This is also the reason why Rasa in Original Work was initially willing to plan and launch Konoha Crush Plan with Orochimaru. Anyway, if you win, you will take back everything you lost, and if you fail, you will just surrender!
No need to pay anything extra!
Of course Rasa from that period in Original Work was fearless!
In this life, the scene is similar now. Looking at Fourth Raikage who must pay the price for Kumogakure, whether Rasa, or Terumi Mei on the side, they all feel very normal, and they actually came with a similar bottom line in the beginning.
Anyway, the core requirement is to keep Kumogakure.
As for whether you have to pay some price or something.
Let's talk if we can, but if we can't, Rasa and Terumi Mei will not really stand up for Kumogakure's pressure on Iwagakure!
Not only can there be no benefit in sight.
It will also attract hatred, so why bother?
Therefore, at this moment, Rasa and Terumi Mei directly chose to wait in silence. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen may not be able to guess all of their thoughts, there is still no problem in noticing part of them!
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only sigh inwardly. After re-adjusting his emotions, he said, "Of course the conditions can be negotiated. I think Lord Raikage will not have much objection to this. However, on some issues, I wonder if Mr. Tsuchikage can also make some concessions?"
This is how negotiations are meant to be.
You test me.
I'm testing you.
Then when you feel that you have almost figured out the opponent's bottom line, release your side's chips bit by bit, and then put forward your side's requirements!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's initial bottom line requirement is to end the war, protect Kumogakure from further attacks, and ensure the integrity of Land of Lightning's territory as much as possible!
It seems now.
The bottom line is that there are no questions asked.
Shōji's attitude also showed that Iwagakure had no intention of occupying Land of Lightning's territory, which already made Sarutobi Hiruzen breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, it was also because it was too simple to achieve this basic goal. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it could take a bigger step, but the other side was obviously aware of this, with this attitude of fighting back.
Let Sarutobi Hiruzen have to modify his strategy for his own benefit.
The opponent must be determined to make Kumogakure pay a certain price.
Now we just have to see if the price can be kept to a minimum and whether we can gain some benefits for Kumogakure.
"Huh? Concede? Does your Excellency Hokage's opinion represent Lord Raikage's attitude? And didn't I already give in at the beginning? The war can be stopped here, and all Land of Lightning's occupied territory and Kumogakure's frontline strongholds can be returned. Isn't this concession enough!?"
Shōji said with a sneer.
"Of course not!"
Perhaps it was because Shōji's words still stimulated Ai.
Or perhaps it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's frequent support that gave Ai more confidence.
When I heard the words of Shōji.
Ai Ye immediately said, "The captured Kumo Ninja, as well as Two-Tails and Eight-Tails must be returned to us Kumogakure! Only in this way can we Kumogakure agree to sign the armistice agreement!"
But this sentence also made Shōji on the other side laugh instantly, "Haha, Lord Raikage, are you kidding!? We have to wait until we fall asleep to talk in sleep. Our Iwagakure's concession is for the sake of Hokage, Kazekage, Mizukage, and for the sake of the whole Shinobi World is thinking about peace, but this is not something you can rely on to push your nose and face. As a person who was completely defeated on the battlefield and ran away in embarrassment, what qualifications do you have to ask for this!? Raikage, if you are still so stubborn and stupid, then there is no point in continuing this conversation Five Kage Summit!
"Do you want to get back Two-Tails, Eight-Tails, and those captured ninjas? It's very simple. Just defeat us Iwagakure on the battlefield. No matter what method you use, it doesn't matter. But, what I want to tell you is that if you fail this time, let all of you Kumogakure be buried together! This is the ultimatum!"
Extremely cold words and an extremely cold breath.
As Shōji said these words, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became very cold and dangerous!
It can be said that Five Kage Summit, who has just started this game, has never truly calmed down.
"You!"
Fourth Raikage was indeed further stimulated by Shōji's words!
But he couldn't find any words to refute at this moment.
Because as Shōji said.
He himself, or the entire Kumogakure, originally had this style.
Right or wrong?
Does it matter?
unimportant!
What matters is whose fist is bigger. In such a chaotic era, strength is the truth that measures everything!
This is an era where the strong are respected.
Fourth Raikage is the one who sees these truths very thoroughly. This is what they did to pressure Konohagakure a few years ago. This time they took the initiative to start a war. Fourth Raikage had the same intention at the beginning, but it failed in the end!
But it was such a tragic failure.
Forcing Fourth Raikage and the entire Kumogakure to face such an embarrassing and dangerous situation, whether Kumo Ninja was captured, or Two-Tails, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki fell successively, these are the most important forces of Kumogakure!
It is the existence that Fourth Raikage must fight for back.
Therefore, no matter how difficult this situation is, Fourth Raikage A must persevere!
When he thought of this, Fourth Raikage bit his lower lip tightly, suppressing his emotions again.
"Okay, in this war, we Kumogakure can admit defeat and make corresponding compensation! However, the captured Kumo Ninja, Yugito, and Killer B two Jinchuriki must To return it to us Kumogakure, of course, at this point, we Kumogakure will also pay the corresponding price! This is also our Kumogakure's final bottom line! Please don't go too far, Mr. Tsuchikage!"
at this moment.
Ai also looked at Shōji in the opposite position with a very fierce look, and the anger that was obviously suppressed by force was clearly evident in his words.
