Conference Concludes
5 PM.
Everyone was exhausted after a day of meetings.
Even if everyone here were judged by Konoha's standards, they would all be at least Jonin, and if it came to a real fight, they could last all day.
However, meetings are something that those who know, know, are much more mentally taxing than battles.
The wrangling had gone on for quite a while, and everyone's enthusiasm was generally low, with some even feeling annoyed. All they wanted was to reach a final decision as soon as possible.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ren waved his hand again, and another group of familiar people filed in, each holding a document.
"Since you all cannot reach a decision, why don't you consider Konoha's proposal?"
Ren's plan was nothing special; it was a complete copy of an international organization from his previous life.
The plan proposes that the Shinobi Alliance establish its headquarters and offices, with the headquarters located in the Land of Earth and the offices in the four major Ninja Villages.
The organization is responsible for maintaining peace and security in the Shinobi World and is the only institution in the Shinobi World with the legal authority to take action.
For any behavior that causes dispute or friction, we have suggestions and methods for resolving the dispute or friction.
It has the power to determine any act or presence that threatens or undermines the peace, and can take coercive measures to maintain or restore the peace.
All members have one vote, and four standing committee members are specially appointed.
Each member has the right to propose motions, and any procedural or substantive proposal requires the approval of more than half of the members to proceed to the implementation stage.
Members of the Standing Committee have veto power; if any member of the Standing Committee objects, the proposal is invalidated.
This document doesn't offer anything particularly new; all the details were mentioned in previous discussions.
After all, there's no reason why Shinobi World should be dumber than Earthlings.
After everyone had read the document, they felt that the plan was a complete hodgepodge, a patchwork of previously discussed ideas.
It's unrealistic to put something together on the spot. Although much of the content is similar to what was discussed before, it is more accurate and complete, which is obviously impossible in just a few hours of the meeting.
That leaves only one possibility: Konoha had already guessed everything, including everyone's possible reactions and attitudes.
Everyone looked at Ren, who had a faint smile on his face, and unconsciously felt a new sense of awe, not just because of his power.
Ultimately, the proposal, which incorporated suggestions from everyone, was adopted.
This is mainly because the plan fully considers the rights and interests of both the large and small ninja villages. Although the large ninja village has special privileges, they are not the right to approve but the right to veto.
This not-so-powerful privilege gave all the smaller ninja villages a sense of security.
5:50.
After all the ninja villages had signed the document, this peace conference, which concerned the entire Shinobi World, officially came to an end.
At this moment, the history of the Shinobi World also embarked on a path completely different from the original story.
After the meeting, Ren specifically reminded everyone.
"You are all at least high-ranking officials in your respective ninja villages, so I won't go into the details of the confidentiality rules. I believe you all know how to report to the daimyo, what to say, and what not to say!"
After a slight pause, Ren smiled brightly and spoke the threatening words in a calm tone.
"If anyone leaks information they shouldn't, and is discovered, I guarantee you'll be begging everyone to give you the same treatment you have in Iwagakure today!"
After Ren finished speaking, he ignored everyone else and walked out of the conference room first.
Stepping outside, I looked through the window at the already dimly lit Konoha and the Shinobi World.
He was equally pleased with himself, for this dark and hopeless Shinobi World ultimately needed him to save it.
I, Uchiha Yushu, have brought light to the entire Shinobi World today!
A small town in the Land of Rain.
Jiraiya discovered, to some extent, that the Akatsuki and Amegakure had intricate connections.
They were having a drink at an izakaya (Japanese pub) at the moment.
The Land of Rain, as the battlefield of the three kingdoms of wind, earth, and fire during the Second Shinobi World War, was quite tragic.
Jiraiya witnessed the silent weeping of this nation.
The mountains and fields were covered with white bones, and you could walk for days without seeing a single living person. The incessant rain turned the earth red as soon as it touched it.
After returning to Konoha after teaching Yahiko and the other two, the Third Shinobi World War broke out soon after.
After the Third Shinobi World War, Jiraiya finally had time to travel the Shinobi World in search of the chosen one.
Nagato, whom Jiraiya initially recognized as the chosen one, had already died during the later stages of the Third Shinobi World War, according to the information Jiraiya received.
For more than a decade, Jiraiya had visited the Land of Rain more than once, and each time the Land of Rain underwent new changes.
It has become increasingly prosperous, and every time Jiraiya visits the Land of Rain Jiraiya, he has a new experience.
However, upon his arrival this time, Jiraiya noticed something strange. Every time he had come before, he had seen people's eyes filled with hope for the future.
This time, Jiraiya noticed that all the young people in the Land of Rain seemed quite apathetic.
There was no light in his eyes; Jiraiya had only ever seen such a look in the eyes of the dead.
Along the way, Jiraiya witnessed at least ten arguments between parents and children.
After learning a little about it, Jiraiya felt that the young people of the Land of Rain had had their will corrupted by the good life they were living.
Comparing the Land of Rain's former appearance with its current state, Jiraiya could only sigh and say that today's young people truly don't know how lucky they are.
Jiraiya, who was holding a wine glass and about to bring it to his lips, suddenly changed his expression and then disappeared.
The wine glass he left behind before disappearing clattered on the wooden table, attracting a waiter who looked to be in his teens to come in and investigate.
Looking at the now empty private room and the wine glasses rolling around on the table.
The waiter hurriedly started tidying up, muttering something in a very low but resentful voice as he did so.
"Damn ninjas!"
