"Any objections? If not, it's settled."
Half a day later, Sasuke tilted his head as he looked at Kirigakure's senior leadership before him.
"Let's settle it, then. Our two villages will cooperate closely, and Konoha will temporarily safeguard our Tailed Beast to prevent terrorist organizations from coming to steal him. In exchange, you'll help us cultivate outstanding ninja of the next generation, and we can call on you for help when we encounter difficulties."
Glancing at the several-meter-long treaty Sasuke had drawn up, Yagura shook his head and signed the whole thing with a flourish.
"Excellent. Do you have anyone here who serves as a court historian? If so, have them record this: Sasuke Uchiha imprisoned his supervising Jonin, forced the Mizukage to sign an unequal treaty, and took it upon himself to recover Konoha's lost Byakugan. By the time Konoha tried to amend the agreement, the wood had already been made into a boat, leaving them no choice but to grant Kirigakure additional concessions."
Sasuke nodded in satisfaction. Upon discovering that Kirigakure had no such thing as a court historian, he immediately turned to Ao, who now had only one eye left.
He wanted to experience the King of Qin's tyrannical might, too.
"Right, add another clause. All of this was done at Naruto Uzumaki's direction. Sasuke Uchiha was merely carrying out orders; Naruto Uzumaki was the true instigator. Their supervising Jonin, Kakashi, was also sealed away by Naruto Uzumaki and couldn't intervene. Everyone Konoha sent was beaten back by Naruto Uzumaki, too."
Patting Sasuke on the shoulder, Naruto flashed a toothy grin, making Genji's face twitch repeatedly across from him.
How could he be left out of a round of threats and inducements like this?
Seeing Ao about to write it down, Genji couldn't help coughing.
They couldn't
