These words made many people lower their heads.
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "It is understandable that Ren is worried about his relatives and loses his sense of proportion. He does not really want to completely break up with Konoha, otherwise he would not give him a three-day deadline and would not let Shisui come to send a message first."
"If he really wants to mobilize troops, by the time the letter is delivered here, the Uchiha troops will have already turned back."
After saying these words, many Jonin's expressions softened a bit.
They accuse Uchiha on their lips, but they also know very well in their hearts that no one is willing to rashly start a war with the current Uchiha.
Especially no one wants to face Uchiha Ren.
That is Monster that can penetrate Kumogakure frontally.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "What we need to discuss next is how to appease Uchiha, how to track down the remnants of Kumogakure Delegation, and how to explain this incident to the outside world. The village cannot be in chaos, and Uchiha cannot continue to be pushed to the opposite side."
Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses.
"The scope of Uchiha Military Police Force's actions should be restricted, at least they should not be allowed to expand their influence in the name of searches."
Hyuga Hiashi frowned.
"Restricting Military Police Force at this time will only make Uchiha think that Hokage Building has a guilty conscience."
Utatane Koharu said coldly, "Are they allowed to take to the streets with knives and interrogate ANBU and the residents of various ethnic groups?"
The dispute that had just been suppressed in the conference room was about to arise again.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
"So, what plan do you plan to give Uchiha?"
Everyone's bodies froze at the same time.
The sound didn't come from the door.
It wasn't coming from the window either.
It came from an originally empty seat on the side of the long table.
Everyone turned their heads suddenly.
I saw Uchiha Ren sitting there at some point, with the black Divine Robe still carrying the dust of the Land of Lightning battlefield, and the scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan calmly sweeping across the entire conference room.
The air in the conference room felt like it was being held down by a hand.
The faces of the Jonins who had just started to accuse Uchiha turned pale instantly.
This man who was supposed to be on the battlefield of Land of Lightning was sitting at the table of the highest-level meeting of Konoha.
Shikaku Nara's fingers stopped on the table, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Inoichi Yamanaka Breathe lightly, Choza Akimichi subconsciously tighten your muscles.
Hyuga Hiashi's pupils contracted and he almost turned on Byakugan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand holding the pipe paused slightly, then quickly regained its balance.
"Ren, you are back."
His tone was deliberately slowed down, as if he was facing a Konoha Ninja who had just returned from a mission outside.
"Land of Lightning How is the war over there? If you can rush back to the village at this time, it seems that the two sides have reached a peace agreement."
Ren looked at him, his tone unchanged.
"Third, I'm not here to listen to you about bypassing Yaonai."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a breath of silence.
Ren continued, "Yaonai disappeared in Konoha, Kumogakure Delegation disappeared, and all traces of Root were cleaned up. I will slowly settle this account. Now, I want you to give me a reasonable explanation."
After suppressing these words, Jonin, who had been clamoring to deal with Uchiha just now, all shut their mouths.
No one dared to answer the phone at this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his pipe and said in a deep voice, "Yaonai has returned to Uchiha District safely, and the village is continuing to trace the relevant personnel. Ren, you should understand that Konoha does not want this matter to expand."
"Konoha don't want to?"
Ren sneered.
"When Yaonai was taken away, where was Konoha? Where was ANBU? Where was Hokage Building?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened, but he didn't have an attack.
No one in the conference room dared to breathe.
After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi brought the topic back to the battlefield again.
"The village has not received final information about the situation at Land of Lightning. Is it because you came back suddenly because Kumogakure has agreed to a ceasefire?"
Ren leaned back on the chair and said calmly, "It's not a truce."
Everyone's hearts tightened.
Ren raised his eyes.
"The war has ended."
Shikaku Nara looked up suddenly.
"End?"
Ren's voice spread throughout the conference room.
"Kumogakure and Land of Lightning, choose to surrender unconditionally."
With a bang, everyone's expressions changed.
"Unconditional surrender?"
"Kumogakure?"
"How is this possible!"
"Where is Raikage? Where is Eight-Tails? Where is Two-Tails?"
Several family leaders could no longer maintain their composure, and voices sounded one after another.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingers also froze.
He imagined Kumogakure negotiating a peace, envisioning a temporary truce between the two sides, and even imagined Ren returning with compensation after severely injuring Kumogakure.
But he never thought that Kumogakure would surrender unconditionally.
That's one of Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Ren ignored everyone's shock and just continued, "Raikage A was severely injured by me. In the end, I couldn't even stand up to sign. Killer B and Yugito Nii were Tailed Beast Transformation, Eight-Tails and Two-Tails were also suppressed by my power."
Hyuga Hiashi Throat is dry.
"Tailed Beasts... are both under your control?"
Ren glanced at him.
"It's just a short-term suppression, it's enough."
This understatement makes people's scalp numb more than any boast.
Inoichi Yamanaka The palms of my hands feel cold.
Every ninja knows what Tailed Beasts is.
But according to Ren, the two ends of Tailed Beasts seem to be just a knife taken casually on the battlefield.
Ren continued, "Kumogakure's last trump card is Chakra Cannon. They rely on that thing to destroy Lightning Cloud, and want to destroy Ten Thousand Lightning and Kirin of Temple."
"It's a pity that no matter how deep they hide the fort, they can't stop Tailed Beast Bomb."
There was a muffled intake of breath in the conference room.
Ren's voice is neither urgent nor slow.
"Eight-Tails and Two-Tails's Tailed Beast Bomb blasted into the mountain behind Kumogakure at the same time. The main guns, backup forts, and sealing positions were all blown into ruins. Once Chakra Cannon was destroyed, Kumogakure's last bit of morale was gone."
"Raikage fell, Eight-Tails and Two-Tails were suppressed by pupil force, the fort was destroyed by Tailed Beast Bomb, and the village's defense line was torn open by the follow-up tribesmen brought by Uchiha Shrine and Fugaku."
"How else can they fight?"
No one answered.
Because the answer is right in front of you.
Can't fight.
Kumogakure The strongest shadow fell, the two Tailed Beasts were controlled, the war weapons were blown to pieces in turn, and the ninja army suffered heavy casualties.
Under such a situation, if you don't surrender, the only thing left is to destroy the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face is getting older little by little.
He finally understood why Ren dared to sit in Konoha's conference room and ask him for an explanation.
Because this man has just been beaten to his knees Kumogakure.
Ren looked around at everyone.
"I have no interest in occupying Land of Lightning, let alone handling those troublesome government affairs for Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."
"So I didn't destroy Kumogakure, nor did I take over their village."
Many people had just breathed a sigh of relief, but Ren's next words made their hearts tighten again.
"But they have to pay the price."
"First, Land of Lightning and Kumogakure jointly pay high war compensation, the amount is approved by Uchiha, and Konoha shall not withhold it."
"Second, from the date of signing of the treaty, the Uchiha caravan can conduct tax-free business within the territory of Land of Lightning, and no towns, checkpoints, or ninja strongholds can block it."
"Third, if the Kumogakure ninja encounters the Uchiha tribesmen during the mission, he must take the initiative to avoid it and must not accept any commissions against the Uchiha Clan."
Ren raised his head, Mangekyō Sharingan was filled with red light.
"Fourth, Kumogakure and Land of Lightning must admit that the master Uchiha Clan enjoys the same distinguished status as Daimyo."
