Konoha Nothing can be done.
The war has reached this point, and Konoha is no longer able to support itself.
"Newcomers in the village" have already set foot on the battlefield this year and have been entrusted with important tasks.
With the support of both Iwagakure and Kirigakure's drug resources, to be honest, it's pretty good that Konoha can survive until now.
For this reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is Hokage, had to bow his head" and took the initiative to send a letter to Sunagakure.
The purpose is peace talks and a truce!
Like the other two villages, it also receives medicine resources.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is not stupid - through some operations of Fourth Kazekage in this Shinobi World war, it is not difficult to see the intention of Sunagakure.
They obtained large amounts of funds through selling drugs and made huge war fortunes.
If this peace negotiation succeeds, Konoha will take a big breath of relief.
The only troublesome thing is the conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure during this war.
It's like pouring dirty water on them, slandering that the disappearance of Third Kazekage is related to Konoha;
Including the first large-scale conflict of Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure raided into the hinterland of Land of Fire and threatened the village, etc., as well as the killing of many children of the Konoha family. Looking at it now, these are just small things - they are the price that must be paid in the course of the war."
There is only one thing - it is difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi to handle.
That is the loss of the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan - if this problem is not handled well, it will be difficult for him as Hokage to face the two family representatives.
But the matter has reached this point, Konoha has reached the point where it has to make concessions to get a breather.
Half a month later, on the battlefield of Land of Rivers.
Hiruzen Sarutobi met Fourth Kazekage who came here specially as he wished.
The young man who played a decisive role in the first battle between Konoha and Sunagakure, killing many key personnel of Konoha and causing defeat for the now famous Shinobi World Minato. When Sarutobi was still on the battlefield, both Yubi and Scorpion, the blood doctor of Sunagakure, deliberately avoided him.
But now, Sasori of the Red Sands is able to compete with him on the battlefield."
As for Yubi, throughout Third Shinobi World War, what shook Shinobi World like a thunder was the death of Third Raikage.
Nowadays, when Shinobi World is mentioned, when Yubi is mentioned - the first thing people think of is definitely not his former battlefield nickname, but Kazekage as the prefix.
Times have changed--
And now that the war has started, Hiruzen Sarutobi has finally figured out that the commander-in-chief of the Sunagakure army all along is not Arai, but this Fourth Kazekage.
Because after Yubi left the battlefield, the tactical operation and arrangements of the Sunagakure army were obviously not as sharp and "creative" as they were at the beginning.
Don't underestimate Konoha's military literacy and battlefield experience - in the short term, you may not be able to see some changes in Sunagakure's army."
But as time goes by, and with constant review and summary, the leadership of the Konoha army will naturally discover some flaws in the enemy and the battlefield positioning of some of the enemy's main characters.
The fighting situation in the latter two villages, Sunagakure obviously relies more on the effect that the two top combat powers of Scorpion and Rasa can have on the battlefield.
Rather than the initial tactical deployment and operation.
In other words, Sarutobi has always hated "the wrong person-"
Although on the surface, the commander-in-chief of Sunagakure is Arai, this person is undoubtedly taking the blame.
Today - the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue.
The troops from the two villages Konoha and Sunagakure were each assembled into a square formation of several hundred people, separated on the left and right sides of the surface.
On Konoha's side, the only leaders are Sarutobi, Jonin and Hyuga Clan's branch representative Hizashi Hyuga.
As for the current patriarchs of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku, Sarutobi didn't bring them here on purpose--
This is to avoid variables in the negotiation with Sunagakure.
Opposite, Sunagakure's troops were waiting in full formation - a few familiar figures, accompanied by a young face, slowly approached.
"Yubi."
The old Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.
This--should be his first encounter with this Fourth Kazekage.
As far as the eye can see, one by one, the four people behind Yubi are Xie, Rasa, Arai and Qingshui.
Not talking about the latter two, just look at Scorpion and Rasa, plus Kazekage himself - Sunagakure. In this era, three Kage Level's combat power suddenly appeared.
The deterrent effect this can bring to the enemy on the battlefield is a bit scary--
"The third generation Hokage."
After a while, Yubi, dressed in a ninja uniform, stood in front of Sarutobi, a few meters apart.
Yubi smiled and said hello in a relaxed manner.
"Kazekage--"
Sarutobi thought he could face Yubi calmly.
But when the other party actually appeared, Sarutobi's old face couldn't help but sink, and the complex and resentful emotions in his heart could not be suppressed.
Seems a bit gaffe--
Konoha's current predicament, in the final analysis, is all caused by the junior in front of us.
If Iwagakure and Kirigakure had not obtained Sunagakure's medicine, they would not have suppressed Konoha in the recent Battle of Kikyo Pass incident and a series of previous battlefields, causing huge losses to Konoha.
Finally, Sarutobi sighed softly, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes to adjust his mood.
You know, at the beginning of Shinobi World, they Konoha and Sunagakure were the famous Wind and Fire Alliance.
And now--
"Kazekage, your strategic intention Sunagakure should have been to avoid the loss of resources in the village from a long time ago, right? Moreover, I heard that you Sunagakure have already started reconstruction, which shows that you have also We don't want to be deeply involved in the battlefield, now - we Konoha are willing to reach an armistice agreement with you, which will be beneficial to both our villages - we Konoha will also spend a considerable amount of money to purchase your medicine -"
"Obviously, your goal has been achieved."
After regaining consciousness, Hiruzen Sarutobi started the negotiation with a serious look on his face.
Yubi smiled.
The war has advanced to this point, and almost all the shadows and senior officials of several villages have realized that Sunagakure is using drug resources to make a plan.
But no matter what the reason is - the situation has evolved into this, and Iwagakure and Kirigakure have gained an advantage. It is difficult for them to give up their immediate advantage and turn to backstab Sunagakure.
Even if they see through his conspiracy, it is impossible for several parties to join forces to counter Sunagakure.
Several villages have been almost exhausted, but so far, Sunagakure has become the biggest winner.
Given the current situation, if there was a head-to-head confrontation with Sunagakure, who would be willing to take the lead?
The combat power of three Kage Levels is enough to show that the current Sunagakures are not what they used to be.
And for various reasons, it is difficult for the four ninja villages to truly trust each other. In short, there is no solution for the time being on how to deal with Sunagakure.
"You are right, but the one who will benefit more - it must be you Konoha."
Yubi smiled slightly, "If - at this time, we Sunagakure launch a general attack on you Konoha, then you -"
Upon hearing these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed and he fell into silence.
"This Shinobi World war is different from the last one - the last Shinobi World war, you Konoha have the ability to fight against four villages, but this time -"
Yubi Click until now.
"What do you mean?"
Sarutobi's tone was cold, and the expressions of several people around him were tense.
"Don't get me wrong - I'm just saying."
Yubi smiled and said, "I just want you to understand - it is not up to you to decide whether to cease war between you Konoha and us Sunagakure, and you are not qualified! Even if I agree to a ceasefire, we, Sunagakure, must draft all the matters and treaties involved in the ceasefire - and then we can sell you drugs."
"If you don't agree, then there's no need to talk."
Yubi's attitude at this moment is completely different from when he met Ōnoki and Karatachi Yagura.
Full of strength.
With that said, Yubi took out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hokage might as well--take a look first before talking."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the white paper in his hand, and his heart sank.
Obviously, Fourth Kazekage came prepared.
