"It seems that the situation is worse than expected."
The talks were temporarily suspended as the atmosphere eased.
In a secluded room, Yayoi and Tobirama stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside was a pale world covered in silver, with snowflakes flying in the air.
As Yayoi spoke, the dullness in the room was interrupted.
Tobirama took a deep breath, obviously understanding what Yayoi was referring to.
"Yes, now all countries are longing for stability. This is the general trend."
As the think tank of Konoha, Tobirama can naturally see that not only Konoha and Land of Fire, but also other major countries and their ninja villages are actually unwilling to fight.
Hashirama's pursuit of order seems to be a personal idea, but in fact it is actually adding fuel to the flames, taking advantage of this general trend to express what everyone wants most.
And with a low profile, it gives the actors and their country a step up, a step that can make them feel safe.
Madara's past attacks on missions can be said to have worsened the relations between countries and almost brought them back to the chaotic days of the Warring States Period.
At this time, nothing is more important than a sense of security.
After all, the warring states and the years of war and killing would make even an iron man irritable and tired.
Most ninjas support One Country, One Village because they see hope of quelling the war.
If someone violates this trend, there will definitely be a situation of betrayal and separation.
Madara is the best example. His excessive hegemonic behavior deviates from the overall trend of "after a long war, people's minds settle down".
The One Country, One Village era emerged due to the union of Hashirama and Madara, Senju and Uchiha. When this system and the trend of the times emerged, After that, a torrent swept through Ninja World, which was no longer controllable by Hashirama and Madara, Senju and Uchiha.
What the future will look like can only be left to time to test.
"It's just that His Excellency Hashirama's posture is a bit too low. With his mind, the information Konoha has, and your reminder, we should be able to see this."
Yayoi is confused about this.
Even if Hashirama was so naive, he didn't think Tobirama would not give any reminder before the meeting.
In fact, in Yayoi's view, it is very simple to reach a Five Great Nations peace agreement during this meeting.
By grasping the most urgent need for stability in various countries and focusing on this point, we can successfully achieve the goal. There is no need to go to such trouble and keep a low profile.
"I talked to the elder brother last night, but he has always been firm in his approach, because he does not want to turn Five Kage Summit into a test of each other with different motives. Stability of all countries is the general trend, but before that, there will be a lot of temptations and sacrifices. The elder brother does not want to sacrifice innocent lives because of this kind of thing."
"So that's it..."
Yayoi nodded, understanding the reason why Hashirama lowered his attitude.
Indeed, stability is Ninja World's current general trend. No one wants to go against this trend unless it is absolutely necessary.
It's just too difficult to let go of our prejudices and cooperate with each other. At that time, we will inevitably fight openly and secretly, and then we will struggle and work with each other in the trial, and finally become stable.
But if this happens, there will definitely be victims who lose their lives one by one.
Hashirama saves the meaningless testing process of various countries. Since stability is the general trend, then simply let yourself break this rigid situation. There is no need to engage in any testing and jump directly to the cooperation stage.
The other four major countries do not have this ability, and those who have the ability to do so are Konoha and Land of Fire who have criminal records.
Hashirama's low profile stems from both his apology to other countries and Hashirama's own compassion.
There were too many victims in the turbulent times of the Warring States Period. Those who managed to survive should not become meaningless victims in the trials and struggles of various countries!
"Anyway, I believe the following talks will go very smoothly."
The prediction made by Yayoi is also agreed by Tobirama.
No matter what, the matter of Konoha as the leader has finally been finalized.
Although his eldest brother is naive and sometimes very childish in his actions, once the bottom line of the matter is officially determined, no one is allowed to test the edges.
If someone takes his low profile as weakness, that would be a big mistake.
He can kill his friends for Konoha.
In the same way, for the sake of peace, we can mercilessly eliminate those careerists who start wars.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone had lunch, Five Kage Summit started the second half.
With Hashirama taking the lead, the atmosphere was much better than the morning meeting.
Even Kazekage Retto will no longer use the arrogant lion's mouth to test the reactions of various countries.
This makes Yayoi feel at ease, but he also knows that this is the credit of Hashirama. Without Hashirama taking the initiative to break the deadlock, the four shadows would just test each other and fight openly and secretly, which may last for a long time, and may eventually turn into a real battle.
In fact, it's quite normal when you think about it. He originally came here to represent the interests of the country and the village, and it was the mainstream to test the opponent's trump cards. Hashirama played his cards openly, but he seemed extremely different in the talks.
Regarding the conditions in the agreement, Siying also made some changes. They did not follow the template given by Hashirama, but they were generally within the expected range of Konoha and Land of Fire.
Among them, Kazekage Retto has the most changed conditions. After all, the environment of Land of Wind is indeed special and suitable for the conditions of other countries, which may be a burden to Land of Wind.
"Sir Kazekage, do you really not want Tailed Beasts?"
Finally, it is finally the turn of the assignment of Tailed Beasts.
Ishikawa looked at Retto and asked Retto again what he thought of Tailed Beasts.
Retto shook his head very firmly, as if he was disgusted.
"One Tailed Beasts is enough. This kind of thing will come back to life if killed. When made into Jinchūriki, it may go berserk from time to time. It's really troublesome. I really don't know why you treat them as treasures."
The trouble he mentioned obviously did not refer to the strength of Tailed Beasts, but that the cost of controlling them was too high and the benefits were not necessarily good.
The most important thing is that Tailed Beasts, as long as it comes alone instead of several together, except for Nine-Tails, Kazekage can easily suppress it with his hands.
In Sunagakure, he is not the only one who can fight Tailed Beasts head-on. The guard behind him, Shamon, is one of them.
Compared with Tailed Beasts, he hopes to get more assistance from various countries for Land of Wind's life, so that the national life can be better.
"But their Chakra is very powerful. If necessary, it can be used as energy to develop the village."
Ai said this.
Retto scoffed at Ai's statement.
He had never heard of such a thing before asking Tailed Beasts to actively cooperate.
Even Hashirama and Madara used other means to control Tailed Beasts.
On the contrary, he has witnessed with his own eyes many times the tragedy caused by Tailed Beasts's rampage.
Whether it is Sealing Jutsu or it is made into Jinchūriki, in his opinion, they are actually playing with fire and burning themselves.
If it weren't for that bastard One-Tail Shukaku who always likes to nest in the desert of Land of Wind and refuses to leave, he would have wanted to pull Shukaku out and sell it at a good price.
Thinking of that troublesome guy Shukaku, Retto's eyes suddenly lit up.
"In that case, how about I sell Shukaku to you Hidden Cloud Village?"
"..."
Ai's mouth twitched.
Retto does not want Tailed Beasts, which means that the six heads of Konoha, Tailed Beasts, Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Mist Village and Iwagakure, can each get two heads. If there is another head...
Hidden Cloud Village Let's not talk about whether it can be caught. Even if it is caught, the cost of control will reach an unimaginable level.
By then Hidden Cloud Village feels like he can do nothing and just think about how to suppress Tailed Beasts.
In his eyes, one or two ends of this thing are enough. If a third end comes, it will not be a help to the current Hidden Cloud Village, but a burden.
The most important thing is that others only take two ends, but they Hidden Cloud Village the three ends, aren't they putting him on the grill to roast?
Kazekage, this bastard, can't you discuss it quietly in private?
"Kazekage, Raikage, don't mess around!"
"We'll be watching you!"
Ishikawa and Byakuren were instantly alert and looked at Retto and Ai with warning eyes.
"Don't worry, you two, I'm not that unwise."
Ai asked Ishikawa and Byakuren to calm down and said that he had no such idea.
Retto didn't ask Konoha if he wanted Tailed Beasts, because apart from One-Tail and Seven-Tails, Konoha is the organizer of Tailed Beasts.
If you need the second Tailed Beasts, just sell five Tailed Beasts.
Next, Retto stopped talking about selling Shukaku and continued the meeting.
More details were finalized in the second meeting. Although the conditions in the agreement were changed again and again, they did not break out of the framework established by Hashirama.
Generally speaking, all the actors got what they wanted. Regarding the distribution of Tailed Beasts, Hidden Mist Village, Iwagakure, and Hidden Cloud Village each got two ends.
Among them, Hidden Mist Village got Three-Tails and Six-Tails, Iwagakure got Four-Tails and Five-Tails, and Hidden Cloud Village got Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.
Of course, this is not free and requires each of them to provide a large amount of money, technology or resources in exchange.
The only ones who did not need Tailed Beasts, Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village, received concessions from other countries and villages. However, this concession was not given to Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village for free. Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village needed to be traded for things.
At the same time, Konoha will also use some of the profits from selling Tailed Beasts to support Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village.
It's just that this kind of support is not free. It only provides reasonable concessions to Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village, allowing Retto to earn more and Konoha and Land of Fire to earn less.
At this point, Five Kage Summit, it comes to a successful end.
Although it only lasted one day, Five Kage was a resolute person, and Hashirama was the first to break the ice, making the talks proceed extremely smoothly.
"So, all the actors, you have no objections, right?"
Finally, Yayoi, as the host, stood up and looked at Five Kage, who also stood up. The prepared agreement documents were placed in front of them.
At the bottom of the document, each shadow's name was signed.
They represent not only the village, but also the country behind them, and they also represent the will of Daimyo.
Five Kage, headed by Hashirama, all nodded, indicating that there was no longer any objection.
The progress of the situation went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations.
"In this case, in the name of General of the Land of Night, I declare that this agreement has officially come into effect!"
Yayoi solemnly announced that the agreement came into effect.
The One Country, One Village era, at this moment, completely disintegrated the remnants of Warring States Era, and entered a new era in which countries cooperated with each other.
Perhaps in the future, such peace will give rise to new disputes and contradictions as the situation changes.
But at this time, this agreement document is undoubtedly related to the lives, blood and tears of countless people in all countries. It also appeared in the prayers and blessings of countless people, and is more important than anything in the world.
