Shikaku Nara bowed slightly, waiting for Uchiha Yao's decision.
To see or not to see?
Uchiha Yao leaned on the wide chair back and tapped the armrest with his fingers.
After a while.
Uchiha Yao chuckled lightly.
"It doesn't hurt to meet."
"I also want to see what kind of barking tricks these defeated dogs can come up with after their backs have been broken."
"Let them in."
"Yes!"
ANBU took the order and disappeared instantly.
Outside the tent.
Darui and Kitsuchi are suffering from the undisguised malicious gaze of the surrounding Konoha ninjas.
Especially those Uchiha Clan clansmen, the red light in their eyes flashed, as if they would pounce on them and tear them apart at any time.
"Go in."
The name ANBU left and returned, leaving a cold word.
"Hokage-sama summoned."
"Just you two."
ANBU pointed at Darui and Kitsuchi.
"Everyone else, stay here."
"If you dare to move..."
ANBU didn't finish his words, but the sound of drawing swords that instantly sounded around him said it all.
Darui took a deep breath and gestured to the subordinates behind him, telling them to be calm.
"Let's go."
He and Kitsuchi looked at each other and stepped into the camp.
The light suddenly dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable terrifying pressure instantly overwhelmed the two of them.
Darui felt that his brain was buzzing, his knees were weak, and all the bones in his body were whining overwhelmed.
"Well..."
Kitsuchi next to him let out a groan, and his face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
As Iwagakure's leading strongman, at this moment, he felt like he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
Legs shaking violently.
"Kneel down."
An indifferent voice came from the front.
Darui couldn't hold on any longer, and his knees hit the ground heavily.
Next is Kitsuchi.
This burly man fell to his knees just like Darui.
Two famous Elite Jonin in Shinobi World.
Just met.
He didn't even say a word.
Just kneeling at the feet of Uchiha Yao in humiliation.
Sweat fell crazily down Darui's forehead, and his whole body was shaking violently.
As the guard of Raikage and the pride of Hidden Cloud Village, has he ever suffered such a shame and humiliation?
He roared crazily in his heart, wanting to stand up, wanting to draw the knife, wanting to maintain Hidden Cloud Village's dignity even if he died.
But.
The body betrayed the will.
Under the pressure of Uchiha Yao, every cell in his body expressed surrender.
This... is Uchiha Yao?
"Strong..."
"So... terrifyingly strong..."
Darui gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from the depths of his throat.
All the unwillingness and anger turned into deep powerlessness in the face of absolute power.
As if he had enough of admiring the two people's embarrassed looks, the light in Uchiha Yao's eyes dimmed slightly.
The terrifying pressure that almost made people suffocate instantly receded like a tide.
Huh--
Darui and Kitsuchi gasped for breath at the same time, breathing in the air greedily, like drowning people finally surfacing.
Their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.
"Now that you're here, don't lie down."
"Stand up and speak."
Darui put his hands on the ground and straightened up with difficulty.
The two stood up unsteadily, lowering their heads, their posture becoming more humble.
"Say it."
Uchiha Yao asked casually while playing with the tea cup in his hand.
"Why did Ōnoki send you here?"
"Are you here to die?"
"Or are you here to beg for mercy?"
Darui took a deep breath and forcibly calmed his violently beating heart.
"Hokage-sama."
"We... are here to make peace."
"Summary?"
Uchiha Yao chuckled lightly.
"Isn't it too late to think of asking for peace now?"
"That's not what you said when you gathered tens of thousands of troops before and threatened to crush Konoha."
Darui's body stiffened.
But he didn't refute.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
If you lose, you will stand at attention and receive a beating.
"Hidden Cloud Village... acknowledges defeat."
Darui bowed slightly.
"Hidden Cloud Village is willing to bear full responsibility for the losses caused to Konoha by this war."
"We will compensate."
"Money, supplies, ninjutsu scrolls... As long as Konoha asks, Hidden Cloud Village will never bargain."
"That's it?"
Uchiha Yao asked calmly.
Darui's heart tightened.
"Hokage-sama..."
Darui bit the bullet and continued.
"We have only one request."
Darui raised his head suddenly, with a trace of prayer in his eyes.
"Please Konoha... release Lord Raikage."
"And..."
"Return the adults Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Killer B who were captured previously."
Hear the words "Eight-Tails".
Uchiha Yao raised his eyebrows.
"Eight-Tails?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
"Killer B That guy is not in my hands."
Darui was stunned.
"What?"
"Not at Konoha?"
"This is impossible!"
Darui was anxious and subconsciously took a step forward.
"At that time, someone saw with their own eyes that the person who kidnapped Master Killer B was Impure World Reincarnation's predecessor, Raikage... and it seems that only Konoha can master the art of Impure World Reincarnation!"
The words just fell.
A cold killing intent locked onto him instantly.
Darui trembled all over and stepped back.
Uchiha Yao sneered.
"What? You want to say that it was Konoha who kidnapped your Eight-Tails?"
"Don't dare..."
Darui quickly lowered his head.
"That's Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru colluding."
"Third Raikage controlled Impure World Reincarnation and kidnapped Eight-Tails."
"Konoha was also attacked by Impure World Reincarnation before. You should be aware of this."
Uchiha Yao gave the answer.
Uchiha Yao leaned forward slightly and stared into Darui's eyes.
"Looking for Eight-Tails?"
"Go ask them where they hid Killer B."
"Don't throw any shit at Konoha's head."
Uchiha Obito?
Orochimaru?
Darui complained crazily in his heart.
'Damn it!'
'Isn't Uchiha Obito one of you, Uchiha?'
'Isn't Orochimaru the Sannin that your Konoha defected from?'
'All the disasters that co-authored Shinobi World came from you Konoha!'
'Now you actually tell me that this has nothing to do with Konoha?'
Although he wanted to curse a thousand curse words in his heart, Darui did not dare to show any of them on his face.
"So... that's it."
Darui said dryly.
"We misunderstood."
Since Eight-Tails is not in the hands of Konoha, we can only let it go first.
The top priority is to rescue Raikage.
As long as Lord Raikage is still there, Hidden Cloud Village will still have a backbone and a chance to make a comeback.
"Since Eight-Tails is not here..."
Darui took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.
"Then please Hokage-sama, please release Lord Raikage first."
"Based on this."
"Hidden Cloud Village is willing to sign a permanent peace treaty with Konoha."
"For the peace of Shinobi World, for the sake of no more unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice..."
Darui used that high-sounding rhetoric.
"As long as Lord Raikage returns, Hidden Cloud Village will immediately withdraw its troops and will never step into Land of Fire again!"
Seeing this, Kitsuchi on the side also quickly stepped forward and expressed his stance angrily.
"Me too!"
"Ah no...Iwagakure is also willing to negotiate with Konoha for the sake of peace!"
"As long as Konoha is willing to let go of the remnants of Allied Forces this time, Iwagakure is willing to compensate!"
"Lord Tsuchikage said, as long as there is peace, everything can be discussed!"
