"You! You people!" Never in Chiyo's life had she imagined two little brats could make her so angry she could barely breathe.

After she glanced at Sakumo's half-smiling expression, a mouthful of blood immediately lodged in her throat.

With his three-tomoe Sharingan, Jin naturally noticed something was off with Chiyo and kept twisting the knife. "Not necessarily. After all, the Hidden Sand is all dirt. If they burrow underground, you really wouldn't be able to burn them."

"Pfft!" In the end, Chiyo could not hold it back. She spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sister!" Seeing this, Ebizo hurriedly carried Chiyo up from her seat on his back, and the hidden Anbu appeared again.

Ebizo glared viciously at Jin and the others. "Kid, this isn't over between us!" With that, he stormed off.

"Haha! Hahahahaha!" Sakumo finally could not hold it in and burst out laughing. "You two brats really surprised me! I have to report this to Lord Hokage immediately. Hahahahaha!"

"Sigh, this isn't funny." Jin shut off his Sharingan and looked at Minato with a pained expression. "Brother Minato, those two old bastards are definitely holding a grudge against us now."

"Weren't you having a great time saying all that just now?" Minato smiled and patted Jin. "If it really comes down to it, we'll just use the Flying Thunder God to run."

At the side, Sakumo ordered the Anbu members to return to the village at top speed and report the situation here.

After giving his orders, he said to Jin and Minato, "You two really made a huge contribution this time. The greatest taboo in negotiations is for one side's momentum to weaken. And the first negotiation is usually about probing and suppressing the other side's momentum."

"This contribution... I can already imagine that from now on, any Hidden Sand mission targeting Konoha will definitely have Minato and me on the must-kill list." Jin shrugged helplessly.

"It's fine. By then, the two of you will definitely have grown stronger." Sakumo patted their shoulders comfortingly.

On the Hidden Sand's side.

Ebizo immediately reported this matter to their Lord Kazekage, stating that they absolutely had to avenge Chiyo.

But the reply he had waited so bitterly for contained only a few short words: Everything takes second place to the negotiations!

In Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen had nothing to do, so once again, accompanied by the Anbu, he came to the Ninja Academy to visit the future inheritors of the Will of Fire.

After the school's teachers learned of this, they immediately organized the children and brought them to an open space to listen to Lord Hokage's teachings.

"Rin! Just you wait and see. In the future, I'll definitely be the first Uchiha clansman to become Hokage!" Obito proudly adjusted his goggles.

Rin encouraged him from the side, while Kakashi poured cold water on him. "How long ago was Jin kicked out of the Uchiha Clan?"

"Hmph!" Obito turned his head away, indicating he would not stoop to Kakashi's level. "Then I'll be the second Uchiha to become Hokage! When Brother Jin steps down, he'll definitely recommend me to take his place!"

"On what grounds? Because you love being late? Or because you're shameless?" Kakashi's follow-up strike was still precise. Obito, embarrassed and angry, pointed at Kakashi. "What do you mean, Kakashi! Are you trying to start a fight?"

"Obito, Obito, don't get worked up!" Rin hurriedly pulled Obito back as he charged in Kakashi's direction, then advised Kakashi, "You too, Kakashi. Why do you have to undermine Obito's confidence?"

After that farce, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the front in a long robe belonging to the Hokage and said kindly, "Hello, children."

Just four words made everyone quiet down. "Hello, Grandpa Hokage!" all the children greeted the current guardian of Konoha together.

"Looking at you all, I'm reminded of myself when I was young. Back then..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sank deep into his memories and rambled on without end.

Strangely, however, the children below showed not the slightest impatience. Instead, they listened to Hiruzen's old stories with great interest and full attention.

It was not until an Anbu member suddenly entered the scene that Sarutobi Hiruzen was pulled back from his memories.

"Lord Hokage, there is news from Lord Sakumo..." The Anbu member leaned close to Hiruzen's ear and reported everything that had happened with Sakumo and the others at the negotiation table in full detail.

Especially when he heard that Jin and Minato had angered Chiyo until she spat blood, the expression on his face became particularly marvelous.

The children all stretched their necks curiously to look at Grandpa Hokage and the Anbu in front. After listening carefully to the Anbu's report, Hiruzen laughed on the spot and said:

"Tell Sakumo that he has full authority over the matters at the front! If the Hidden Sand refuses to accept it, Konoha has no objection to going to war again!"

"Dad..." When Kakashi heard his father's name, his eyes subconsciously lit up. He had not seen his dad in such a long time. In his heart, his dad was Konoha's hero!

The other companions also looked at Kakashi enviously. Who in the entire village of Konoha did not know the "White Fang of the Leaf"? Having a heroic father was something most of the children present did not have.

Asuma: My dad is the Hokage.

"Also, pass on a message from me to Uchiha Jin and Minato Namikaze. I won't forget the contribution they made. When they come back, I'll thank them personally." Hiruzen said this cheerfully.

That line, "I am the inheritor of the Will of Fire personally chosen by the Third Hokage," had truly hit Hiruzen right in the heart. It was rare for the Uchiha Clan to have a child of the Will of Fire.

His teacher's spirit in heaven should be very gratified... Thinking of this, Hiruzen's eyes could not help reddening slightly.

Uchiha Jin: I was just bragging.

"Brother Jin is there too." Rin hurriedly patted Kurenai beside her. "Looks like Brother Jin must have gone to carry out a dangerous mission. Otherwise, why would he be with Uncle Sakumo?"

Minato: You're just ignoring me like that?

"Oh, Rin." Kurenai hurriedly explained, "Brother Jin and I have nothing."

Jin smiled with ill intent. "Kurenai, I haven't said anything yet~"

A strange look flashed through Asuma's eyes as he muttered, "Why is that guy everywhere?"

During the second negotiation, Ebizo took Chiyo's place and raised some objections to Konoha's conditions.

The rest was all Sakumo's stage. Jin and Minato stopped messing around and simply acted as guards in silence.

It was not until Konoha and the Hidden Sand reached an agreement that this half-month-long negotiation finally came to an end. Both sides exchanged the agreement and shook hands in peace.

When they parted, Ebizo said coldly, "Kid, you'd better not get close to the Hidden Sand when carrying out missions. Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't even know how you died."

Jin had his Sharingan active as he looked at Ebizo coldly. "If you want to live a few more years, you'd better obediently hole up in the Hidden Sand and not come out. Otherwise..."

Ebizo looked straight into Jin's Sharingan without a care. "Otherwise? Otherwise, are you going to glare me to death with those eyes of yours?"

"You can try."

"You can try..."

When Ebizo heard Jin's voice coming from all directions, he immediately understood that he had been caught in a genjutsu... though a genjutsu of this level was useless against him.

"Release!"

"Lord Ebizo, the people from Konoha have already gone far away." An Anbu at the side stepped forward to remind him, very curious as to why his lord had stood there and watched the people from Konoha leave.

"Suggest to Lord Kazekage that Uchiha Jin be listed as someone who must be eliminated. All jonin who encounter Uchiha Jin must prioritize killing him!" Ebizo raged.
