Iwagakure Ninja Village was not particularly willing to accept peace talks between the Lands of Fire and Lightning. They hoped to deal Kumogakure Ninja Village a crushing blow. Even if they could not destroy it, they wanted to cripple it so thoroughly that it could no longer threaten Iwagakure Ninja Village. That was their purpose in joining this war, so they had tried more than once to persuade Tobirama, but he remained firmly committed to peace.
Of course, Tobirama saw through the Iwagakure Ninja's ulterior motives. Although Iwagakure Ninja Village was an ally now, it could become an enemy in the future. If they truly wiped out Kumogakure Ninja Village, it was obvious who would benefit most. To him, the best choice was to leave a half-dead Kumogakure Ninja Village to keep Iwagakure Ninja Village in check. Even if Kumogakure Ninja Village might pose a threat again after recovering, that was unavoidable.
After several attempts, Second Tsuchikage Mu stopped pursuing this pointless effort and let Konoha Ninja Village negotiate with Kumogakure Ninja Village. With no further obstacles to the peace talks, everything proceeded smoothly.
When the day of the peace talks arrived, Tobirama brought his men to the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost. This was the site the Raikage and Hokage had jointly chosen for the negotiations. Both sides' forces would stand by in the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost, keeping watch on each other to ensure that neither main force could move. Only the Hokage, the Raikage, and their Personal Guard could enter the meeting site.
"Well, I'll take Monkey and the others with me. Zhenghui, wait here for news. Once we return, you can send the prisoners of war over." Tobirama turned and spoke to Kazemori Masaki.
