"Next comes the seventh clause."
Article 7, Overseas Students: Kumogakure sends twenty of the best Genin to study abroad at Hyuga Elementary School every year for six years, and Kumogakure is responsible for the expenses during this period.
Ai read it twice.
The two elders came over and took a look, but didn't see anything.
Let Genin of Kumogakure go to Hyuga Village to learn the skills, and come back after learning, Kumogakure will not be at a loss.
If Hyuga Village can beat Kumogakure like this, it would be a good thing for Kumogakure to have his genin learn for a few years.
The cost is Kumogakure, but twenty Genin won't cost much.
An elder reacted.
"Send Kumogakure's best Genin to Hyuga Village. Isn't this just giving Hyuga Village a hostage?"
Another elder also became anxious.
"Kumogakure and the best Genin have all been sent to Hyuga Village. Kumogakure will not be accepted in the future."
Shinichi glanced at Ai.
"Hyuga Village never wins anyone's love."
Ai lowered his head.
Yōta, he stole it from Hyuga Village with his own hands.
Hyuga Jonin's fists suddenly clenched.
They are said to be international students, but they actually mean that the best Genin from Kumogakure will stay at Hyuga Village for six years.
In the past six years, they have learned Hyuga Village things and followed Hyuga Village rules. Their thoughts and their way of thinking will unconsciously become like Hyuga Village.
When they return to Kumogakure six years later, they will bring Hyuga Village's thoughts back to Kumogakure.
These Genin are originally Kumogakure's best young people. After ten or twenty years, they will be Kumogakure's Jonin and elders.
By that time, the senior management of Kumogakure will all be people who have been with Hyuga Village for six years. They will be the first to stand up and speak for Hyuga Village in whatever decision Kumogakure makes.
Twenty people every year, that's 200 people in ten years.
In this way, Hyuga Village's thoughts will spread to Kumogakure.
From now on, these two hundred people will be Hyuga Village's internal support within Kumogakure.
Once something happens in Kumogakure, Hyuga Village will know about it immediately and can intervene.
War reparations will eventually be paid off, and the mine will have to be paid back to Kumogakure after ninety-nine years.
But these people who return from Hyuga Village will stay in Kumogakure for the rest of their lives.
Among the seven clauses, the real trump card is this one.
Tobirama was listening on the side, and his heart sank.
Hyuga Elementary School, Tobirama have long been heard of.
Konoha also wants to open such a school, but before it can be opened, Hyuga Village has already started to recruit people from other villages.
Wherever you study for six years, your mind will subconsciously move towards that direction.
This Hyuga Clan brat has already settled what will happen more than ten or twenty years later.
"Lord A..."
"Kumogakure lost."
Ai only said this, and the elder stopped talking.
"Kumogakure agrees to the terms of international students."
All seven clauses have been read out.
Shinichi put the scroll on the table and picked up the pen.
He glanced at Tobirama, who turned his head to the side.
Shinichi was the first to write his name on the treaty, and then pushed the pen in front of Ai.
Ai picked up the pen, his hand shook, and he didn't put it down for a long time.
An elder whispered something in his ear.
"Lord A, sign this, go back..."
"I know."
As soon as he signed this, he made Kumogakure his younger brother Raikage. He took the blame!
But the people in the defense line are still waiting to return to the village.
Ai gritted his teeth and wrote his name on the treaty.
Both elders turned their faces away.
At this point, the battle between Hyuga Village and Kumogakure is truly over.
The Hyuga ninjas who were guarding outside the tent stretched their necks one by one when they heard there was no movement inside.
Ai walked out of the tent first without saying a word.
The two elders followed him, neither of them making a sound.
Not long after, the gate to the defense line opened.
The Hyuga ninjas all held Kunai tightly and stared at the door.
Shinichi raised his hand to let them go.
The Kumogakure ninjas who were stuck inside came out one after another, their faces covered in gray and they walked very slowly.
Someone took a look at Hyuga's camp and quickly lowered his head.
They followed Ai and walked in the direction of Kumogakure.
Ai walked to the gate, paused, looked back at Hyuga Camp, and then didn't look back at Earth Flow.
Hyuga Jonin opened the tent and shouted towards the camp.
"The war is over!"
There was a burst of cheers in Hyuga Camp.
Naoto Hyuga squeezed into the crowd and shouted "Light Shadow is mighty" again.
The name Kaguya Jonin ran over.
"Sir Light Shadow, the ninja of Kaguya requests to go to Hyuga Village."
"Agree."
Kaguya's ninjas all laughed when they heard this.
Tobirama stood at the door of the tent with an ugly expression on his face, watching Kumogakure's people walking further and further away.
Shinichi walked to him.
"Say hello to Lord Hashirama for me."
Tobirama did not answer the call, and walked out Hyuga Camp with several Konoha Jonin.
Outside the camp, Konoha's ninja army also began to walk back.
Hayato Uchiha walked at the back and turned around and waved to Hyuga Camp.
Konoha's ninja army left a group of people behind and headed towards the iron mine of Land of Lightning.
One month later, Kumogakure's first war compensation payment was sent to Hyuga Village.
Kakuzu was alone in the Finance Department, counting all night long.
Early the next morning, Kakuzu handed the account book to Shinichi.
"Sir Light Shadow, Kumogakure's war compensation for the first year is 500 million taels in principal and 500 million taels in interest, totaling one billion taels. One tael is a lot."
"Kumogakure follows the rules."
"If you don't follow the rules, you will get more interest."
Shinichi smiled and said nothing.
The franchise fee for Kumogakure, the first-level Dealer, has already arrived in the account.
In the iron mine of Land of Lightning, the ninjas of Konoha have already started mining.
The ninja of Konoha received the commission every month, then changed hands and sent back Hyuga Village, replacing it with Kunai and Shuriken.
Kakuzu remembers this amount clearly every month.
People from Kumogakure also came to Hyuga Village to pick up the first batch of goods, and half of the payment was paid in advance.
Kaguya Clan, also moved into Hyuga Village.
A few days later, the first batch of twenty Genin from Kumogakure were sent to Hyuga Village.
The leader Kumogakure Jonin handed twenty Genin to Hyuga Elementary School, turned around and left.
Twenty Genin stood at the door of Hyuga Elementary School, all with sullen faces and no one spoke.
The uncle stood beside Shinichi and looked at it for a long time.
"Shinichi, when these children return to Kumogakure, will their hearts be towards Kumogakure or Hyuga Village?"
"See how Hyuga Village teaches."
The uncle sighed.
"That day in the council chamber, Kumogakure Envoy also said that Kumogakure had never kidnapped Hyuga Village's children."
"Now, Kumogakure has sent his best Genin to Hyuga Village."
Shinichi did not answer the call and stood at the door of Hyuga Elementary School, watching the twenty Genin walk in.
In the original novel, Kumogakure also kidnapped Hyuga's child.
Finally, Konoha handed over Hizashi Hyuga for the sake of peace.
But in this life, Hyuga Village made a completely different choice.
Kumogakure robbed Hyuga Village's child. Hyuga Village did not hand him over, but beat him all the way to Kumogakure's door.
First Raikage died, and Kumogakure signed this seven-clause treaty.
It didn't take long for the contract signed by Hyuga Village and Kumogakure to spread throughout Shinobi World.
