"Waaaaah, Lord Hokage, that's incredible!"
"Waaaaah, the Lord Hokage actually went to such lengths for us."
"Damn it! From now on, I will become stronger for Konoha and for the Lord Hokage, and I will never let Konoha be invaded again!"
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's resounding words, the Konoha Ninja present shed tears once again.
The Lord Hokage actually ceded the land to Kumogakure.
All of this is to prevent further casualties among the Konoha Ninja, and to protect these newly sprouted leaves of the tree!
And all of this cost was borne by the Lord Hokage alone!
After all, it's always unpleasant to talk about ceding territory, but the Lord Hokage was still willing to sacrifice the reputation and honor he had accumulated over half his life for Konoha!
Carry this huge pot firmly on your back!
That's amazing! What is the " Will of Fire "? What is the " Strongest Hokage "?
The Konoha Ninja once again deeply experienced this spirit of fearlessness!
"Finally agreeing? Looks like you won't get it unless I push you a bit, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"How could you portray such a humiliating and disgraceful act as so righteous? I underestimated your shamelessness."
Ziyun looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said leisurely, still unaware of the bizarre scene that had just unfolded there.
I just felt a little nauseous from Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone earlier.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi blushed slightly.
For some reason, he felt a little intimidated when he saw Ziyun now; even the Hokage's aura seemed incredibly weak.
Aside from his fear of Ziyun's strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt as if he were naked in front of Ziyun, as any thought he had could be seen through.
"Damn it! Insulting the Lord Hokage is unacceptable!"
" Yeyue Ziyun! The Lord Hokage has already agreed to your demands, so stop spouting nonsense!"
"How could a ninja from another village possibly understand the Lord Hokage's good intentions?"
"That's right, they'll never understand what the [ Will of Fire ] is in their lifetime."
Upon hearing Ziyun's slightly insulting words, the Konoha Ninja present were enraged.
How could you slander their Strongest Hokage?
Yeyue Ziyun, a ninja from Kumogakure, could not possibly understand what the Will of Fire is.
"Oh? I see, it was Konoha's strongest Genjutsu, [ Will of Fire ]. My apologies."
Seeing this incredibly bizarre scene, and considering Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone just now, Ziyun finally understood.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, awesome, awesome!
Even Ziyun had to exclaim how amazing this technique was.
They actually whitewashed the act of ceding territory into an act of enduring humiliation for the sake of the Konoha Ninja, forcing them to sign such an unequal treaty.
It has that air about it, like a certain high-ranking official!
Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's brainwashing techniques, Ziyun had no choice but to spare his life.
" Yeyue Ziyun, Third Raikage, now that I have agreed to your demands, please cease your invasion of Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "As for the signing, let's leave it for three days from now."
" Ziyun, what do you think?"
The Third Raikage asked Ziyun question.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had originally been firmly against this, but now that he had suddenly agreed, the Third Raikage wondered if there was something fishy going on.
"It's alright, Uncle Raikage, there shouldn't be any problems. If they dare to back out or try to cheat, what's wrong with us continuing the fight?"
"Does Konoha have any way to deal with our Kumogakure?"
Ziyun sneered, his voice loud and clear, which made the Konoha Ninja present tremble.
That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
Konoha is always the one threatening others; when has Konoha ever been threatened so blatantly?
What frustrated everyone the most was that what Yeyue Ziyun said was true: Konoha really didn't have a good way to deal with the Kumogakure army.
If there were other options, we wouldn't have had to cede territory.
Three days later, in Konoha, in the Hokage's office.
The Third Raikage, along with Ziyun, Dodai, and many high-ranking Kumogakure Village, returned to Konoha once again.
This time, however, they arrived as victors.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Konoha is truly prosperous."
"That's right, I wish my Kumogakure could be this prosperous."
"With such fertile land, no wonder Konoha produces so many talented people. If my Kumogakure had similar conditions, it might not be inferior to Konoha!"
"Sigh, this time they've seized territory from the Land of Fire; next time it'll be Konoha's turn."
The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure walked along, observing and commenting as they went, making no attempt to conceal their desire for Konoha's fertile land.
As for the murderous glares from the Konoha Anbu who accompanied them all the way, the Kumogakure's high-ranking members didn't care at all!
Do you dare to make a move?
If they dare to make a move, the 5,000- Kumogakure army stationed outside Konoha will immediately dare to storm in.
After the Second Shinobi World War, Kumogakure established that its Kumogakure 'Konoha, and was even significantly stronger.
Unlike the Third Raikage and Ziyun when they first entered Konoha, they no longer had to be constantly monitored by the Anbu, and even had to be careful what they said.
As it turns out, the people of Konoha were nothing more than bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
Given that the Kumogakure Konoha was no match for the Kumogakure army.
The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure practically had " Kumogakure and Konoha will have a major battle sooner or later" etched on their foreheads, but the people who came to accompany them, such as Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the Konoha Anbu, managed to remain completely silent and even had to force a smile.
It must be said that they perfectly inherited Hiruzen Sarutobi's mantle.
"Ha (Zhao Dehao) Hahaha, everyone, don't worry! Under Ziyun's leadership, Konoha's land will belong to Kumogakure sooner or later!"
On his way to the Hokage's office, the Third Raikage once again made a shocking statement in public, showing no restraint whatsoever.
The reason why we haven't directly occupied Konoha yet is, as Ziyun said, because the core strength of Kumogakure is insufficient, and Konoha is still very united. Forcibly suppressing it would bring too high a cost of governance, making it a losing proposition.
However, looking to the future, things are still looking good.
At this moment, even Hatake Sakumo, who had been suppressing his temper, couldn't help but unleash his power.
The dozen or Elite Jonin from the Kumogakure Anbu were accompanying the high-ranking members of the Cloud Village, along with Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others, instantly unleashed their killing intent upon hearing these arrogant words.
To loudly proclaim the intention to occupy Konoha and Kumogakure on Konoha's soil is simply too arrogant!
"What's wrong, everyone from Konoha? Is there a problem?"
Sensing the sudden change in atmosphere, the Third Raikage unleashed an astonishing aura without hesitation.
The Chakra of Peak Kage Level expert instantly shattered the first-floor entrance of the Hokage Building, producing a series of cracking sounds as the glass shattered.
"Uncle Raikage, what's wrong? Has Konoha changed its mind?"
At the same time, Ziyun also unleashed the aura of Peak Kage Level expert. Lightning power was faintly wrapped around him, while thunderclouds filled the sky, and thunder rumbled, as if countless angry thunderbolts were about to strike at any moment.
The aura of the two Peak Kage Level powerhouses instantly suppressed the aura of the dozen or so Elite Jonin Anbu, plus Hatake Sakumo, a Kage Level powerhouse, and Orochimaru Jiraiya, two Quasi-Kage Level powerhouses.
"Damn it! They're in Konoha, yet they shamelessly talk about how to take over Konoha, and even ask us if we have any questions? Do they think Konoha doesn't exist?"
" Kumogakure, you... you have gone too far!"
Seeing this, Jiraiya was so angry that his voice almost cracked.
In his memory, Konoha had never been so humble.
This humiliation was simply unbearable for him.
"Oh? You're really not convinced? Then try and see what happens."
Ziyun snorted coldly, transformed into lightning, and appeared in front of Jiraiya. He slapped Jiraiya hard across the face, and with the power of lightning, instantly turned half of Jiraiya's face into a pig's head, leaving him in a sorry state.
" Yeyue Ziyun, you've gone too far!"
" Konoha will never tolerate such an insult!"
"Charge them!"
In an instant, Hatake Sakumo Orochimaru, and many Elite Jonin the Anbu could no longer contain themselves and prepared to take action.
"Since you want to die, I won't stop you."
Ziyun sneered, his body crackling with lightning, instantly destroying the ground beneath his feet and the entire first-floor hall.
"Stop it, all of you!"
At the crucial moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally appeared and shouted in a fierce voice.
" Lord Hokage..."
"Teacher..."
