When Sandai heard the news about Yu's return, he still couldn't believe it. After all, no matter how fast the ninja was, it would take at least two or three days to return to Konoha from the border.
And just after his letter arrived at the border, within half a day, this boy Yu arrived at the village. What kind of speed was this?
Sarutobi suppressed the shock in his heart. He didn't know how many times he had been surprised by Yu's unreasonable behavior. Sarutobi felt that he would almost get used to it if he continued like this.
"Okay! I will immediately notify the ninjas in the village to come to Hokage Office for a meeting! In about two hours, ask Uchiha Clan Head to come over!" Sarutobi pretended to be calm and said to the ninja who came to inform Uchiha.
"Yes! Lord Hokage! I will report it to the clan leader truthfully!" After saying that, Uchiha the ninja left Hokage Building.
Two hours later, Yu walked into the conference room with Uchiha Retsuyō and Wada.
When Yu arrived, almost all Konoha family representatives showed goodwill towards Yu.
Of course, with the exception of the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan, the representatives of the two clans wanted to get close to Uchiha, but when they saw the stinky faces Yu faced them, the two clan leaders couldn't help it.
I could only see Uchiha and other families flirting with each other, and I felt panicked.
"Okay! Everyone is here, let's officially start!" Sarutobi said with a bad expression.
For this meeting today, he brought over Tsunade who had been staying at Imperial Research Institute, just to support himself.
Yu gently sat down at the front seat. Seeing that everyone else on the round table had tea, but Uchiha didn't have any, Yu smiled softly in his heart, "Now Hokage Faction is really petty! Even this is so obvious!"
While Yu was deep in thought, a hand next to him gently pushed a tea cup over. Yu looked stunned for a moment and turned around to see Hiashi, with a silent expression on his face, sending the tea cup in front of him to Yu's face without looking away.
Yu smiled knowingly and nodded towards Hiashi.
Since this meeting was an unexpected special meeting, it was not like the last meeting where all Jonin in the village needed to be held to explain important matters.
In addition to the representatives of each family and the more prominent elite ninjas in the village, there were also the heads of various departments. There were only twenty or thirty people in total, so it was conducted in a round table format.
Elder Council naturally saw the small movements of Hyuga and Uchiha. The expressions of the three of them sank, but Tsunade opposite showed a hint of weirdness.
It's been a long time since I returned to the village. Now Hyuga and Uchiha can come together. Tsunade just feels that the world is changing too fast.
Sarutobi took a deep breath silently, "Uchiha Clan Head, this is the negotiation letter brought by Kumogakure, take a look!"
Yu took the document handed over by Sarutobi, looked through it casually, and suddenly couldn't help but smile, "This Raikage is really interesting. His village lost the war, but he asked the victor to pay compensation. It is simply ridiculous. Does he think they can win if they fight another all-out war!"
Yu's ruthless ridicule made many ninjas present smile.
"Uchiha Clan Head, this is a total war, not a child's play. Once the war starts, do you know how many people will die in the village!" Sarutobi asked in a low voice.
Yu threw the document on the table casually, "It seems that Lord Hokage is really old. You can cause such a big fight just by scaring your old man! Those who don't know think that I, Konoha, am the village of Shinobu!"
"A person can bite off a piece of meat with just a few threats. When did I, Konoha, have the courage to be the biggest ninja village? Lord Hokage, am I, Konoha, already one of the five weakest villages in Ninja World!"
Yu Qing's irony suddenly silenced all the ninjas present, "Yes! Whenever Konoha threatens to hand over the victorious heroes in other villages, shouldn't this kind of thing be rejected directly?"
Even Tsunade seemed extremely silent at this moment.
"Uchiha kid, Hokage this is also for the peace of the village. Who can guarantee that Kumogakure will not launch a large-scale war because of this matter!" Utatane Koharu said angrily.
Yu spread his hands and said, "It's for the village at all times. If everyone was like this for the village, Konoha might as well not exist at all. After all, if you lose, you will be annexed by others, and if you win, you will be cut up. It's a knife before and after. We might as well just disband on the spot! Why are we still fighting! Why are we still protecting the village!"
"Yu! I've said that!" Sarutobi said in an amplified voice, "Originally, this was just a local war between Land of Fire and Land of Lightning, and neither side had any intention of expanding the war situation., we should restrain each other, but you not only destroyed all the elite Cloud ninja on the battlefield, but also robbed Kumogakure of Jinchuriki. This is a result that even a ninja village cannot bear."
"Don't losers deserve to pay the price? What's more, Hidden Cloud took the lead in provoking the war. If I am Hokage now, then as Hokage, the leader of a village, shouldn't I act like a winner at this moment and let Land of Lightning, the loser who initiated the challenge, compensate for Konoha's losses!"
"Now the victorious side is threatened by the defeated one. I really don't know what the meaning of everyone sitting here is to meet here! At first, I thought that everyone was here to discuss how to cut Land of Lightning's flesh and strive for greater benefits for the village. But when I came, I found out that we were here to discuss how to sign an agreement that would lose power and humiliate the village! This... I really don't know what the high-level brain circuits are thinking!
"Are Lord Hokage and the two elders still complaining that I, Uchiha, have caused a huge disaster to the village? I not only want to ask the elders whether they can eat meat with their teeth!"
"Don't you understand that weak countries have no diplomacy? Don't you understand that today because I, Uchiha, won the battle, I can threaten the village to hand over its heroes, and tomorrow, because I see what they want, I can find any reason to ask the village to hand over people from other families! I would like to ask Lord Hokage if I can retreat and retreat for the sake of the peace of the village!" Yu held the table with both hands and looked at the third generation and others with sharp eyes.
Sandai and others were speechless by Yu's strong words, and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
The third generation looked at the ninjas present with panic eyes, trying to see if there were any family representatives who agreed with him at the table, but to his disappointment, all the ninja representatives who came to attend the meeting were conquered by Yu's remarks and nodded in agreement.
Sarutobi quickly looked at the silent Tsunade, trying to get her to say something, but all he saw was a hint of disappointment in Tsunade's eyes.
Sarutobi felt a sense of desolation arise in his heart. He was doing this for the village! Now the village could no longer afford a war. If the war continued, would the existence of the village still be a thing? A sense of suffocation made his whole old face turn red.
However, he did not consider the feelings of the ninjas at all. Ninja World is a world where the weak eat the strong. Once you show your weakness of cowardice, just wait to be eaten by the wolves!
Peace is never achieved by surrender, but by fighting. Most ninjas understand this.
"You...Uchiha brat... you are talking nonsense!" Mitokado Homura scolded.
"Hmph! If Lord Hokage can no longer shoulder the responsibility of leading the village because of his age, he can give it up early while he is still alive, instead of standing in the manhole all the time and disgusting everyone here! The village never needs a weak Hokage."
"Learning from history, Konoha that peace was not fought out. The enemy will not be satisfied just because you give in. They will only become more ferocious, hitting you with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. We hope that our descendants will not endure war. First of all, our generation must withstand the test of war, use our blood and tears to illuminate future generations, and use swords and fire to make Konoha famous! This! is the real Will of Fire!"
"Instead of living for temporary peace because of our current weakness, leaving the danger of war to the next generation, everyone! Your blood is still hot! Are your hearts still young?"
Yu emphasized the last few words, his tone full of excitement.
Instantly, the ninjas present were all excited, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in their eyes.
"Uchiha Clan Head said it well! It's a good idea to hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches!"
"I, Akimichi Clan, am willing to fight for Konoha, for my descendants!"
"Hmph! Land of Lightning is nothing, they are just defeated subordinates of me, Konoha, why should I slap them in the face!"
At this moment, even Tsunade across from him had eyes shining brightly, "Are you using your blood and tears to illuminate future generations? Did grandpa think the same way back then! I have to say that Uchiha is really different now!"
